Help the Library The Woman's Club is right fully proud of the work which it has accomplished in starting: a public library in this county inis is an institution wnicn nas long been needed and one which has been waiting only for some such efficient civic organization as the Woman's Club to give it a start. At the present time the club has done its part. The actual w ork of establishing the library is now in the hands of the library committee. This committee finds that it is able to pay the neces sary expenses for the first year, including the rent and salary of the librarian, but that an inade quate fund remains, for the pur chase of books. Here, then, is where the citizens at large are given an opportunity to show their interest in this vital matter by contributing books to help form the nucleus of the library. Many could easily make such a contribution without feeling any loss and who knows how much pleasure and profit books which are now unused might bring to others during the years that they would be passed from hand to hand. Only a short time remains in which these contributions may be made as the lists must be completed by July 1. It there fore behooves those who contem plate making some donation, however small, to be up and do ing. The assurance that they have thereby performed a public service which will be rich in blessing to others will be their reward. The Fire Department The local fire departmet is de serving of praise for the way in which it handled the fire in the liamona hotel Sunday morning. The blaze was one which threat ened other buildings in the im mediate vicinity, and many of those who first arrived on the scene were of the opinion that the flames could not possibly be prevented from spreading to the adjacent buildings. The hotel itself was of highly infllammable material. The department ar rived promptly at the fire in re sponse to the alarm and lost no time in getting two streams of water on the flames. To those who watched the fight against the fire it seemed a remarkably short time belore the blaze was under control and the neighbor ing buildings out of danger, while much of the hotel itself was saved. It was a demonstra tion of very effective fire fighting. "Good Fellows" Many men attain a reputation within the male circle of their acquaintance as being "good fel lows," w hen the men themselves know that it is undeserved and that the term "bad fellows" would more nearly fit their case. Of course there are hosts of men far more than the world at large knows of w ho are in truth "good fellows" in every sense of the word, but it is a fact, never theless, that in numerous in stances the designation is applied to men w hose only title thereto is won at the cost of disquiet and anxiety at home and among friends, and possibly of broken hearts. Viewed from merely the selfish standpoint a young man cannot afford to be known as a "good fellow," as the term is commonly understood, much less to to one. In its projK-r sense of Iwing an agreeable companion, everyone should endeavor to be auch, and the first place in which to show this good fellowship is in the home.

The average man should practice. In tercropping carefully as he Is apt to overdo It and grow the crop at the sacrifice of proper tree development. Small fruits like strawberries are oft en growu. If they are planted close to the trees, and especially In those cases where Irrigation Is practical. the moisture and shallow cultivation encourage the young trees to become shallow rather than deep rooted. FINDS CONDITIONS FOR FRUIT FAVORABLE HERE A recent O. A. l publication says: Twenty-two tulles west of The Dulles we Hud the famous Hood Illv- er Valley. This district has earned world-wide reputation for its apples. Yellow Newtown and Npitzenberg are the principal varieties. It has about 10,000 acres In orchards; has seven or eight different types of soil, all of which grow fruit Miccessfullv when supplied with humus and when deep and drained thoroughly both as to air and soft. The region which Is directly above the town of Hood Klver Is known as the lower valley, while In the vlclulty of Mount Hood Is the upper valley. In the upper valley we find rich fertile soil, but as yet few bearing orchards In that district. With the proper handling the prospects are very encouraging for orcharding. The elevation of Hood Klver Valley ranges from liOO to 2.K) feet. The rainfall Is about !!.. Inches. The main apples nre yellow Newtown, Spltzenberg, Ortley and Jonathan.

MAY BE 30,000 CARSJF APPLES According to n dispatch to the Packer from IH-nver, reports from the Western Slope are almost unani mous In saying the biggest apple crop on record Is assured this season. The dispatch continues: A well known apple operator from a market east of here stated a few days ago that he had just made an extensive circuit of most of the big apple-producing sections In the west, anil after talking with mauy leading growers and shippers In the various districts he has made up what lie calls a conservative estimate of the crop by slates as follows: Colorado, 11-00 ears; New Mexico, 10O0 cars; California, cars; I'tah, .VKt; Idaho. L1XK); Oregon, 2700; Wash Ington. 12,:UN), and Montana "O0. Iu other words, the total would Indicate 2.'.7t0 cars from all the west ern box apple districts. lille the figures are staggering and appear exaggerated, the same man who fig ured the estimate stated that some others who have figured It out have placed the yield nearer 30.000. Hut whatever the actual output Is, It Is admitted by everybody who has looked Into the situation that there will be a big crop, with the balance of the season favorable, aud that the main problem from now on will be to secure the uecessary labor to pick, pack and ship the fruit. The matter of securing packages Is also agitat ing th" minds of many growers. The same reports Indicate that or chards will be thinned of the Irult more this year than In the past, and It is believed that If the thinning be comes general and the yield Is cut down to l0t0 or 20.IHH) cars the first step will have been taken towards disposing of the enormous crop. BRICKYARD TURNING"0UT 15,000 BRICK EVERY DAY A. T. Zeek, who has a brickyard in the Ilelmont district, opened up a kiln of l':.0,(MMI freshly-burnt brick a few days ago aud Is now keeping several teams busy delivering them lu town and over the valley. He has another kiln of 400,000 brick which will be ready In about 20 days. The yard Is turning out about l.l.ono pressed brick per day. He Is also making face brick of a good grade as well as clinkers. Considerable building Is going on In the valley this summer. Regular Sunday excursion to Park dale.
