and RETAIL
BIG CHERRY CROP
REPORTED GENERAL
So far iih cherries areconeerned the
present Kcnunii In proving nil unusual
'iu In thin respect that there ha
been a big crop In nil cherry-produe-lug
sections the country over Kv
cry Mt'tloii of the country which pro
duces cherries reports large supplies.
Some have not the quality which In
found tn the more favored sections of
the Northwest, hut all have the
quantity and as a consequence the
marketH have lecii glutted during
the past few days.
The local I'nlou in accepting cher
rtes. Including Htngs, Lamberts Hoy
al A tinett and I Hack Republican, all
In bulk with the stems on. They re
port Home dltllculty with the pack
ing made by the growers where
they; have only put on one face
row and have not made the rent of
the pack sutlielently solid to hold the
face row In position. When this
happens the cherries become jumbled
and there Is no market. It Is advis
ed that there Is no market for pnek
ed stuff. Only the best of this will
move and farmers are advised not to
pack their cherries except for private
shipment.
Although cherries retail for appar
ently high prices In the F.astern
markets, producers In this section
cannot expect big returns for the rea
son that the express and packing
charges are necessarily high. At the
present time, It Is pointed out. Hood
Hlver does not produce enough
cherries to make shipments In car
load lots. Shipments lu less than
carload lots entail large express
charges and as a consequence the
production of this fruit Is not yet on
a good commercial basis In this sec
tion. Notice!
All claims for service and supplies
furnished for the Fourth of July cele
bration must be tiled with C. If.
Vanghau at the Hutler Hanking Co.
on or before Friday, July 12, 1912,
nud must lenr the approval signa
ture of the member of the committee
by whom ordered.
The committee desire to express
their sincere appreciation for the
generous aid given them by the cltl
zens In funds, tlni", grounds, auto
mobiles, etc., which resulted In a suc
cessful celebration. Signed

HOOD RIVER IDEAL
RURAL COMMUNITY
Fugene, Ore. Hood Hirer Is an
Ideal rural community, declared Ir.
Joseph Schafer, In a recent lecture at
the Summer Session of the University
of Oregon.
The question was asked during a
discussion of the relative Influence of
rural and urban communities on the
movements of history, whether an
Ideal rural community had ever ac
tually existed. Dr. Schafer replied
Instantly that Hood Hlver Is one. He
said that he hail Just visited the
place and to his mind the Hood Hlv
er district formed the ideal rural com
munity.
"The people of the town and coun
try are of the same social level," he
said. "They have practically the
same Interests and are at perfect
peace and harmony with each other.
Churches, postofliees and grocery
stores are scattered about conven
iently. Telephones, electric lights,
rural delivery, water supply, good
roads for the automobiles In which
nearly every one may run to town
In a few minutes have developed a
community In which there Is very
little difference bet ween the town and
the country. The schools are good,
the people are Intelligent anil pro
gresslve and work together harmon
iously. This seems to me to be an
Ideal community."

Some observations that have been
made lately by hog raiser in the
Tlclnlty of Penver seem to show that
cholera has teeu much more preva
lent In herds which have received lit
part of their rutlou hotel and restau
rant awlll. The fact has beeu noted,
but Just why It la so has not been de
termined. One of the greatest sources of disin
tegration and corruption In a govern
ment such as our own lies In the In
difference and apathy of the so called
"good citizen," who has to be hauled to
the polls to vote by those Interested In
the principles of representative gov
ernment or those actuated by corrupt
or selfish motives.
$10,000 LOSS TO
FRUITJROM WIND
Keports from Snake river, Whs!).,
orchards show that much damage
was done to fruit by the wind storm
which swept over that country re
cently. Many fruit trees were up
rooted, others were split by the
wind and none escaped the loss of
some limbs, while thousands of
bushels of fruit were blown from the
trees.
The Alpowa Orchard company suf
fered a serious loss. This company
We have on our floor a new Dowden Potato
Digger which we want you to see. It is worth
close investigation', and our line of Vehicles is
also worthy of your attention. We have sev
eral Studebaker Buggies and Spring Wagons
on which we are willing to sacrifice. We are
closing out this line of goods. Nothing cheap
about them they are exceptional bargains.
Everyone guaranteed. If you are interested,
take our hunch and call early.

owns the l.u Kollette orchard of 2,r0
acres and estimates Its loss at $10,
(MX). M 8. Johnson, of the Lyhecker
farm, suffered the loss of a large por
tion of the fruit from his trees and
had many trees blown out by the
roots and others split and wrecked.
From all orchards on the river come
reports of serious damage. The wind
storm was the worst ever known.
For live minutes the weather obser
vatory of the state college registered
a velocity of (5.1 miles an hour and
for more than an hour the velocity
was Ik) miles.
