BalGksmith and Wagonmaker HORSE SHOEING A SPECIALTY 25 Years Experience IN THE 2L WORLD 3) BIG RED APPLE AND PUMPKINSAME SIZE "Applo orchards that are better than kuIiI mines", U the caption of a h-DRtliy copyrighted article by Frauk U. Carpenter In the Baltimore Anierlcnn, June 11. The writer deals on the apple sit uation In the eat and west, and bis article U moHt entertaining. Hood Ulver comes In for a goodly share In the wrlteup, and we take pleasnre In extracting a few paragraphs that are of especial Interest to readers In this locality. The writer says: "Take the Hood Klver Valley In Oregon, where the apples and pump kins are of about the same size! Or chard laud there is worth from fr00 to f 1.000 an acre, and orchards al ready set out will bring f 3,000 and upward per acre. Said one of the department olllclals to me: '"I wns recently talking with an orchardlst who had ten acres of bearing trees In one of the best dt trlcts of Washington. I asked him what his land was worth. He re plied: " 'It ought to bring me In at least $10,000.' "'Well', said I, after thinking a moment, "I don't know that that Is too much. You have 10 acres, and that would le $1,000 per acre.' ' 'But I mean $10,000 per acre, said the man. 'It will bring a good In come on that and leave a fair sink ing fund.' And there upon he took out his pencil and showed me that he was making a big percentage on bis own valuation. The Pacific Northwest Is the Uto pia of the farmer," said another of the agricultural explorers. "The ap ple growers are mostly educated men aud the soclul conditions are high. In Hood Klver, which Is a town ot 5,000, there Is a University Club to which belong I.jO college graduates. North Yakima looks for all the world like a New England city, and Its houses are more artls tic than those of the East. The We. n a tehee Valley Is a great farm town covering thousands of acres, divided up fnto patches of five and ten acres of orchards. Each patch has Us hiiiiHC, which Is equipped with elee trlclty and lighted by a common plant. Every house has running water and a telephone, and scores of the farmers own their own motor cars. "The bare land In the Wenntchee Valley Is worth $."00 and upward per acre, and the orchards In bearing yield ."i00 or more to the acre a year. "Near Southern Washington a crop of eight acres was sold o the trees for $1.",000, and the purchaser did the picking and marketing. They had an npple show at Spokane last fall where they gave away prizes which aggregated $20,0m). the first prize Itelng a sweepstake of $1()00. At that show there were displays from 'M different districts In Wash ing, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Montana, and the apples were shown In all sorts of packages, from the carload to the box. They sent one tralnload of the exhibits from there to Chicago. It went by express and It carried just 1,000,000 apples. Apple Crop Conditions Since the date of our Inst Bulletin Issued June .". no changes of 8eclnl Importance have been reported to the Exchange. Statements in regard to the crops east of the Missouri Klver are conflicting In many ways, but the goneral tone confirms the pre viously reiterated advices that the yield In those districts will be much larger than has leeu harvested for n number of years. Many sections In the East have Iteen visited with a bundant rains which have helped strengthen the situation. On the whole, the rains have been of except ional value at this time, following the extremely hot weather and severe drouths. The June drop will be much heavier than was expected, while a number of localities report blasting of some varieties. It seems certain that New York and Michigan, at least, will have bumper yields, es pecially In the fall varieties. The Virginias promise a very fair crop, although smaller than that of 1!U0. Information from New York State under date of the lPth shows heavier dropping than Is considered desirable In some localities, while others report blasting, but on the average, condi tions Indicate nn exceedingly large volume of tonnage. Michigan reports are of the same general character. In some districts the summer vnrleties will be heavier proportionately than the Fall apples, but the latter will of themselves ex ceed the production of the last sev eral years. Vlrgtnbi reports are riven t nnd comprehensive. The Shenandoah alley and Eastern l anliatKlle of West Virginia promise crops of un usually fine quality, but on the whole the quantity will hardly exceed 00 or Ho per cent of laHt year's harvest. The shortage Is attributed to the last late frost, and the excessive drouth lasting three weeks. The drop has also been abnormaly heavy. The falling off In the older orchards, which bore heavily last year, will be offset, to a large extent, by the great acreage of young orchards Just com ing Into bearing. The Shenandoah Valley was visited by severe hall, lightning and wind storms on June 6, the effect of which could not be de termined at the time of our advices. Whatever damage has resulted In the southern parts of the Valley may be equalized by the benefit of rain fall In the northern sections. The crops of 1910 In seven counties In the Shenan doah Valley aggregated 1,000,000 bar rels, or theequlvalent of 5000 carloads. No additional reports have been re ceeved from Colorado. Northwest conditions continue un changed. According to best posted sources, the outlook for apples Is as follows: Hood Klver, Oregon 50 to 00 per cent of last year's crop. Kogue Klver, Oregon 10 to 50 per cent of last year's crop. MUton-Freewater 35 to 50 percent of last year's crop. Other districts In Oregon about the same average. Wenatchee Valley, Washington About the same as lnwt year-2500 cars. Yakima Valley, Washington 30 to 50 per cent of last year's crop. Other districts 1n Washington 35 to 75 per cent, according to districts. Southwestern Idaho Heavierthan 1910. It will be remembered that the gen eral apple crops of the Pacific North west In 1910 were unusally large. MORE IMPROVEMENTS AT HOT LAKE SANATORIUM Despite the fact that various news papers and news associations throughout the went have attempt ed, by the use of printers' Ink, to close the Hot Lake Sanatorium, the place continues to do business at the old stand, and Improvements are constantly lelng made. At present a force of men are en gaged In laying a new steel six Inch water main from the present pump ing plant to the 130,000 gallon cement reservoir, and engineers are doing the location work for the construc tion of a gravity water system. This means that several large springs which for years have been allowed to go unharnessed, will le brought to the Sanatorium nnd made to fur-ulna water for that Insti tution. Another mineral spring Is also be ing connected with the main build ing, nnd a handsome fountain will be Installed In the beautiful office lobby. Business nt the Hot Lake Sanato rium never censed for one moment. No receiver wns appointed, neither is there any possibility of Hot Lake Sanatorium closing Its doors. Pn tlents ill receive the same kindly care and attention In the future as In the past, nnd Hot Lake water and mud will continue to relieve suffering humanity. 0RTLEYS00NT0 HAVE NEW $15,000 HOTEL The Mosler View Hotel company has commissioned Architect Kroner & Herm to get up the design for a hotel to be erected at Ortley, the new town near Mosler on the Columbia river, which was laid out by the Hood Klver Orchard Land company.

MIKADO WRITES POEM; CORONATION SUBJECT Mutsumlto, emperor of Japan, has written a poem In blank verse on the coronation of King Oeorge V of Eng land.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness Is canned by an Inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachlun. Tube When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when it Is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can betaken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deaf ness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney &Co., Toledo, Ohio.
