A brief excerpt from the write-up follows; "Thin valley has become famous through premeditated plana. Nature has been supplemented by science In every possible way. Perfect fruit la the Ideul of the Hood Hlver growers. To this end they cultivate, prune aud spray. Even the packing Is doue painstakingly under the Inspec tion of the Apple Growers' Union. All this care bas won fur the Hood Hlver Valley the title of 'the Uni versity of Apple Culture,' aud all this Is why apple growing lu Hood Hlver 1s not an experiment, but an established fuct. "Another obvious thlDg to the stranger In this valley Is the refined and contented appearance of the peo ple, the absence of poverty-stricken homes; a sort of moral community with all the most glaring vices elimi nated. "I noticed particularly the splendid co-operation of the men and women In entertaining the visitors through out this trip. Nowhere Is this sort of co-operatlon so noticeable as In a country community, for the very reuson that nowhere else Is perfect partnership and co operation so es sential to success. "Hood River Is by no means a colony of health seekers. It Is a magnificent country of Ideal homes of a cultured, prosperous people. It could lie lined as a shlulng example of the 'country-life movement' In Its highest stage."

Dissatisfied with the rate of the White Salmon company, they are selling stock for a line to connect with Underwood and across from there to Hood Klver. Andrew Kennedy returned from Wawhlugton, D. ('. Tuesday, and Is at his ranch on the Heights. He says there Is strong talk at the na tional capital of bringing out Hughes for the Kepubllcan nomina tion. He also said that crops In some of the Kastern states were very poor and conditions generally were quiet. K. Kuhne Is still marketing apples of the Spltzenburg nnd other varie ties. They are lu good condition, due to the well-built nnd ventilated cold storage lu which they were stored through the winter. Not only that, but Mr. Kuhne says he lielleves It Is n good thing not to pack your apples too soon. He even repacks, going over the boxes just liefore nailing for market.
