THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1911 3 improved Beai Power Sprayer me Light Durable Economical Rl ' y iiJ The latest improved model "BEAN SPRAY ER" is exceptionally light in weight, but still is plenty heavy and strong enough to stand the severest tests. The efficiency and economical operation of the Bean Sprayers are the results of many years experimenta tion by men who have a practical knowledge of what are the important factors heedful in a good spraying machine. Users of the Bean Sprayers for years past all attest to this fact. The capacity of each machine is thoroughly tested before it leaves the factory and every pump is guaranteed to carry over two hundred and fifty pounds pressure with a capacity of supplying six of the very largest nozzles or twelve to sixteen of the ordinary type. With ordinary care, our pumps will last for years. The upright cylinders are porcelain lined, which reduces the friction to a minimum. The spray has no corrosive action whatever as is the case in brass lined cylinders. The bell metal ball valves work on reversible seats machined on each side so that when one side wears they can be turned over, thus doubling their length of service. The engine we use is the well-known Hopper cooled Sprayer Engine. They are the best obtain able for the purpose, compact, easily handled, with a cooling system not subject to disorders nor danger from freezing. It can be easily removed for other work, by taking out four bolts. Among the Many Points of Superiority of Our Pumps We Mention the Following 1 . The all steel compact platform instead of the clumsy heavy wood structure. 2. Compactness of the engine and pump. The pump is connected to the engine with a machine cut gear instead of the old-fashioned and long ago discarded belt. 3. The tanks are made of the best grade of red wood with an iron well for underneath suction, preventing air-lock, increasing the efficiency of the pump fully thirty per cent. It is so constructed that it cannot fall down when dried out. - 4. A direct driven, improved rotary agitator. 5. Ball relief valve keeping pressure safe and uniform. 6. Low-down construction, making it easy to handle in any orchard. Many other important and exclusive features of our pump that cannot be appreciated until you see our outfit, which will be on display at the corner of Third and State street in the warehouse of the Hood River Spray Manu facturing Company.

NICKF.LSLiN, Sec'y ROOSEVELT SUBJECT of mm ESSAYS Some time ago t In News offered as mi Inducement it copy of Theodore Itoosevelt's "African Game Trails" to the pupil In the eighth grade of the Hood Klvcr schools who would write the U-st composition on the doughty ex-presldent. The pupil was allowed to select Ills particular sutiject on the life of Roosevelt and three of t he compositions have liecn suliniltted for publication. The llrst one Is published this week and will lie followed by the other two, when the editor will announce his Judg ment on them. All of the composi tions show considerable ability and are worth rending as an Indication of I he aptlt ude of the American boy or girl to enter the field of letters. The llrst In the series, which Is de voted to Roosevelt's hunting trip In Africa, written by Fred Delts, Is ns follows: hookkvei.t in ammca. Outdoor life and physical ail ven ture have always seemed as natural and necessary to Theodore Roosevelt as political enterprise and manly public service. He hns licen, from youth up a great hunter and sportsman. He knew all about the big game of the Fnlted States, having commenced to hunt It when a young man on a North Dakota ranch, and continuing that pirns' of ills career over the western plains and mountains after he had become president of the I'nlted States. It was quite natural for a man of Ills ability nnd ambition to start to Africa where there are so many Interesting wild animals. Roosevelt, ns a hunter, was known and greatly admired among the true sportsmen of 'the world, nnd wher ever one of this class came to the I'nlted Stales he seldom failed to hav on interview with the presi dent. Among those who visited the president was Richard TJader, whose exciting tales of his elephant killings, lion trackings and ridings, buffalo bunts and otheradveutures in Ilritlsh F.ast Africa, are said to have caused Roosevelt's final division so that his trip was practically determined about two years before the expira tion of Ids presidential term. On March L':t, l!MH, two weeks after President Taft had been Inaugurated Mr. Roosevelt left New York on the steamship Hamburg for a fifteen months' trip to Ilritlsh F.ast Africa, a voyage In the waters of t he great Victoria Xynnza lake and a journey down the waters of the Nile. He wns to lie the head of an expedition In active charge of R. J. Cunnlng hamme. Mr. Roosevelt's son, Ker mlt, was to lie the chief photog rapher of the expedition. The steamship made the British port April 2. and nfter Mr. Roosevelt and his s in had beeu entertained by the commandant, the voyage was continued to Naples. There theex presldent was greeted with all the honors due to his distinguished char acter. In the harbor he found n wait ing him the steamship Admiral, which was to carry the party to Mombasa, the port of entry, capital of Ilritlsh Fast Africa and backbone of the "big game hunting grounds." The Admiral arrived nt 1'ort Said on the evening of April Itth anil about half way lictween the Mediterranean and Red seas, the scientific branch ol the party landed to make a collection of bird speclmeus nnd plants. The only other Incident which occurred In the Sue canal worthy of comment was the panning of ttie (ity of I'nrls, crowded with British pas sengers, who heartily cheered the ex president and had the satisfaction of seeing Ills famous and pleasant smile when he noticed the large "Teddy Is-ar" displayed tm deck. The Ad miral passed out of the Sue)! canal on the evening of the following day. It left Aden, Arabia, April 1,1th and after running down the dreary coast of the Red sen, with only a short stop nt Somallland, on the twenty first of April landed the little party nt Mombasa In the midst of a pour ing rain. Mr. Roosevelt was dined and hospitably entertained. With the enthusiasm of the true sportsman, he made his preparations for his big hunt ns quick as possible. The first thing to do Is to secure some porters for help nnd to secure a license. Fx-President Roosevelt re fused some special privileges offered him, and Insisted on abiding by the common laws governing the killing of big game. All such preparations having been made, the party boarded a modem railway train, drawn by an American Baldwin engine, and pulled out from Mombasa for the Kaplti plains, the district adjoining the headwaters of the Athi and lana rivers and the Mount Kenla region, which were to lie the main hunting ground thrown open to the expresl- dent. This great district contains every variety of African country, plain, jungle, swamp, forest and hill. It not only swarms witli game, both big and small, but contains tifty var ieties of the larger species, and Is, therefore, unexcelled anywhere in the World. The special object of this expedition was to gat her specimens of beasts, birds and plants for the government museum embraced by the Smith sonian Institution. The weapons which Mr. Roosevelt carried were a forty calibre repeating rllle, a .in.'i calibre, a .Sttf-callhre and for feathered game had two twelve gauge repeating shot guns. His shot gun ammunition was specially loaded j for him In brass shells and the wads ' were carefully covered with wax to j lie waterproof and prevent their swelling In the moist climate of the country. Mr. Roosevelt and his party left Mombasa for Kaplti plains at 2::t0 p. in., April 22. 1 hey were accom panied by Acting Governor Jackson. Their Immediate destination was the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease. It was In the prime of the season for lion hunting. The big rains were well over and the plains were waving with short, crisp grass, and such cool breezes were playing through It, that the lions roamed freely abroad Instead of seeking cover to escape t lie tropical sun. Although Sir Alfred Pease's place Is railed the "Theki Ostrich Farm." from the very fact that It comprise one of the biggest and most scientific breeding grounds for these birds In Fast Africa, both It nnd the surrounding country have the reputation of being unexcelled as . a resort for the tawny tunned cat.! Nature seemed to have especially de signed the "Thekl Ostrich Farm" as the Ideal place for the big hunt. I The Roosevelt party remained on the Pease ranch for about three weeks, during which the colonel, killed four llntis, two rhinos, two giraffes, two wlhlbeestN and one j Thompson's gazelle, while Kermlt bagged two lions, one cheetah, one1 giraffe and one wlldbccst. All the members of the party were bitten bv ticks, tint none developed t he dreaded fever. Several cases of smallpox were discovered among the porters.
