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.
We are here to stay and every machine sold will have our absolute
guarantee to do what is claimed for it.

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.
