. The doctor's work is only half
what has to be done for the pa
tient. And if the druggist be
lacking in ability and care the
prescription might as well have
never been written. But we
make a special study of each case
and our own medical knowledge
is thorough enough to be of great
use to us in those sometimes oc
curring cases when the doctor,
in his haste, makes a slight error.

Rev. J. II. Swift, pastor of the Chrlt-
tlan church, who Is now In the East,
ran into three w recks on hla trip Eat
and the train upon which he rode wag
smashed up In one of the accidents,
although Mr .Swift escaped without
injury. He writes to his friends here
as follows:
Editor, the News: I promised my
friends when I left your city that I
would write them and let them know
how things were here In this far East
ern country, but it is too great a task
to write each of my many friends in
Hood River, so I take this opportunity
of addressing all alike and send you
this letter and In so doing all may
know alike.
A Trip to the Far East
Dear Friends of Hood River:
After taking the last long look at
the city and my friends at the depot
I boarded tlie O.-o. R. & N. and start
ed East, speeding on till the next
morning when the daylight appeared
to me on the desert plains and how
glum and wild they did appear after
living In the land of bloom and plenty
for nearly a year. We sped on and on
through the sage brush and wildness
of the plains till we reached the city
of Pocatello and there we had a break
down for a few hours and had time to
eat, then going south to ugaen we
had a splendid view of that country
that is developing so fast and reached
Salt Lake without serious events. Af
ter seeing the city for a few hours we
headed down that long prairie toward
Colorado and landed in Grand Junc
tion. There we were informed that
in the canyon on the Tennessee Pass
there had been a great wreck and
some lives lost and the cars were piled
up In a hopeless mass for 10 hours.
so I took the narow gage road over
the Marshal Pass and had the pleasure
of staying over night with my brother-
in-law at Olathe, Colo., in the apple
and potato (or spud) country and saw
more "spuds" than Oregon would eat
in a vear. and they are worth 40c
per hundred.
In the morning we started over the
pass and made a successful trip, very
little snow and an open road all the
way. I got acquainted with some folks
on the car that used to be In the
Hood River Valley 30 years ago and
they took no little interest in the
story I told them of the progress of the
valley. I told them that for every
apple that fell from the trees there
would grow at least a dozen trees
and each of those trees would yield
at least 18 boxes of apples the second
year of their lives and those folks
told me that they had heard such
Rtories before and had wondered if
they were true, and then said to my
embarrassment, "Since you have told
me this I do fully believe it" and then
I promised myself that I would stick
as near the facts hereafter as I could
for fear I might lead some astray. 1
have succeeded so far but never fail
to tell that there are a "few apples
grown in the Hood River Valley."
After this story had been completed
we arrived at Saleda and stayed a few
hours walling for a train and the
weather being cold we did not run
around much for fear of catching cold
as colds were running round there all
the time. We left the city at 11
o'clock p. m. and at 1 p. m. we ran In
to a wreck right In the middle of the
Royal Gorge where there were 30
freight cars piled up almost mountain
high and on account of a flagman's
mistake our train went plunging Into
the wrecked cars, but luckily there
was little serious damage done ex
cept a few arms broken and some
folks chopped up, but no fatalities as
far as 1 know, I was in the Bleeper
and was awakened about as soon as
I often am by my wife with a glass of
cold water when I compell her to get
up and kindle the fires, but I did not
get up JustJ then. We were kept there
In the gorge for 18 hours without any
thing to eat and that did not suit me
We then proceeded to Pueblo, Colo
and the Springs, and then crossed the
plains of Kansas and stopped between
trains with my brother, wrom I had
not seen for years and found him
well situated and as rich as he needs
to be; then Sunday morning I headed
East for Kansas City and reached
there by 10 p. m. From there I left
on the Chicago & Alton and had gone
two hours Into the state of Missouri
when we ran Into another wreck of
passenger cars where they had gath
ered up all of the people and found
them all living but out of commission
and that delayed us for another 10
hours. On Monday we proceeded on
to Woomtngton, 111., after seven day
and nights on the train and I was
somewhat tired and hungry.
After arriving there I hurried
the home of my mother who Is sor
lously sick and has been for month
and this meeting I will leave to th
reader. I am glad to say that she is
a little better and so much so that
I came across the country a little
farther and now here I am writing
from the splendid city of Cleveland,
ight In the shadow of the great big
monument of James Garfield of politi
cal fame.
As I came along the way and saw
the fat cattle in the lots, the cribs
full to overflowing and chickens In
the barnyards, with the basements of
the different homes full of fruit that Is
good to eat and mother's apple butter
jars and the jams and so many good
things to eat I could not help but
feel that It was good to be here.
My prayers are with all the work in
Hood River and how I long to be
home with my work there and some
time In the near future, I can not tell
just when, I shall roll In and take
my place among the people as usual.
Until that time accept my best re
gards for all good and remember me
till I write again.
Yours fraternally with profound re
spect,
JOHN II. SWIFT.

WHITE SALMON TO
CONSIDER UNITING
(From the Enterprise)
Stockholders of the White Salmon
Valley Fruit Growers' Union will meet
at Odd Fellows' Hall Saturday, the
29th, to consider consolidation of the
local Union with Hood River, Under
wood, Mosler, and Lyle. IL F. Dav
idson of the Davidson Company and
Wilmer Sieg, manager of the Union,
Hood River, will be present and ad
dress the meeting.
There was an attempt to amalga
mate the Unions of Underwood and
White Salmon, with the idea of a
general amalgamation with the towns
across the river, but failed. While co
operation was a good thing then, it
is imperative now, and the Enterprise
is of the opinion that amalgamation
would produce most beneficial results.
There would be more uniform grading
and packing rules, economy in the
procuring of information concerning
status of markets, and the looking up
of markets, and a unity of action in
selling or holding the crop.
Dresses with Good Lines That You
Can Make with Your Bordered
Materials
Not alone is the economy that you
practice when you make your own
clothes gratifying, but the real satis
faction there is in wearing a dress
that you know has just the touch you
wanted. And you know how true it
is that no one else can strike just
that note of Individuality which is
always the secret of a charming gown
or any other article of apparel.
No matter how high a price you
pay for a ready-madaj. garment, and
it Is always quite exorbitant, you are
bound to feel and say, "It is really
pretty, but somehow, there is some
thing missing." One hears that ev
ervwhere. And It Is just that "some
thing missing," that no one but your
self can obtain. But there is no reas
on in world why every woman should
not at least attempt to make her own
clothes. Everything imaginable has
been devised to aid her; for cutting
out the material so that there is the
least waste, and for putting the differ
ent parts that the pattern provides to
gether, so that it fits perfectly, for
with the pattern always comes very
explicit instructions for Its proper use
You are surely very eager to learn
what will be in vogue this coming
spring and summer. Well, one thing
seems, from all reports coming from
the most reliable fashion centers, quite
assured, which is that the one-piece
frock of bordered fabric, will be
distinctly prominent feature In the
summer's best styles. And as a sort
of forerunner, we see in the shops
some of the loveliest and most won
derful stuffs with borders, that you
ever laid your eyes on. They are
real marvels. Of course, some are
auit expensive, but even these are
not forbidding, when you realize that
they are self-trimming. For It Is
well known fact that very often the
trimming would amount to more than
the material, and in rhat way make
any little dress mount rather high
With the bordered goods, that is prac
tically eliminated. The two models
llustrated here, are excellent samples
of what can be done ith those charm
tng fabrics.
There is too, a great range of colors
and textures, and it should be a de
cidedly simple matter, to select the
suitable material for the design you
have chosen. Bordered challis, voile,
silk, poplin, crepe, foulard, and the
most delightful looking bordered rat
ine. Any one of these, except the
ratine, which would be a trifle too
heavy, you can use for either of the
fetching little dresses shown.
TWO GRADES FOR YAKIMA
At the annual meeting of the Yak
ma County Horticultural Union, E.
Remy offered a motion declaring in
favor of only two grades, an extra
fancy and fancy, admitting to the fan
cy grade some apples which had dur
ing the past year been placed in the
C grade and abolishing the third grade
altogether. It met general support, but
was amended to leave the question In
the hands of the trustees with power
to act after endeavoring to obtain
the co-operation of other organizations
and dealers. Mr. Remy accepted the
amendment and it was adopted.
DAM GATES ARE CLOSED
Human Ingenuity has held up the
White Salmon River. For the first
time it has closed its continuous flow,
The last of the week the Northwestern
Electric Company closed the gate of
the diversion channel and turned the
river against the big concrete dam,
For a short time it pounded hard on
the mass, but as the water slowly rose
the impact became water against wat
er and receded up stream. It is slow
ly rising to the Intake gates and form
ing the lake above the dam.
