THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23. 1913 t After the Doctor THE DRUGGIST 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. l3 CHAS.

The number of new residents for the state may be as high as 10,000. It Is not likely to go over that figure. By unanimous vote of a delegation of 30 women, members of the license committee of the Portland City Coun cil were permitted to smoke in a meeting in spite of the unwritten law to the effect that there shall be no smoking In meetings attended by women. Thirteen candidates have filed their Intention to make the race for City Council In the May election at Klam ath Falls. Already there is a rumor that the only woman in the contest will not be permitted to go before the people. Mrs. Maude Zlnk, Soc ialist, has filed a petition for a place on the ballot, but her credentials have not yet been approved. Portland educators are working on a project to establish a normal school in that city. At the head of the movement are A. P. Armstrong, Coun ty Superintendent of Schools, and W. W. Williams, president of the Port land Business College. A feverish gold stampede has Just been started by a strike on Canyon mountain, made by an old-time pros pector. Dan O'Sbea. O'Shea made his strike more than a week ago, but succeeded In keeping it a secret sev eral days. When the news finally leaked out there was an immediate rush. It is rumored O'Shea has taken out between 12500 and 13000. One pan. It is said, yielded him $200. Recent Investigations have dis closed that several burials have been made in unsold lots in the I. O. O. F. cemetery located at Hlllsboro. Offi cers of the lodge having the ceme tery In charge recently completed a checking-up of the lots and were amazed to discover that burials had been made in lots not yet sold and in least one case that an Interment had been made in a lot belonging to a family, which supposed that it was vacant except for one body burled years ago. No record of the burials can be found and they are supposed to have been made by non-residents. At a special meeting of the City Council of The Dalles a movement was started to provide public play grounds. The council favors buying 38 lots from Grant Mayes on Benton and Clay streets and converting the property into playgrounds and athlet ic fields. The aldermen decided to re fer the matter to the people in the form of a charter amendment at the annual city election, June 16. Society bunny hugs, turkey trots, tangos and grizzly bears must not be danced in Portland, even though quiet ly indulged in by the younger social set in private homes. This is the edict of Police Chief Slover, who caus ed the arrest of F. A. Watkins, aged 24, and MiBS Dorothy Anderson, aged 18, at a private dance at 80 East Stark street last week, when Patrolman Itussell reported that the forbidden terpslchorean novelties were being given. Mason Warnock, aged 73 and pio neer resident of the Springwater coun try, captured Charles Maher, Friday, and brought him to Oregon City, where he was given a hearing on a charge of horse theft and bound over to the grand Jury. Mr. Warnock miss ed one of his horses. Shouldering a musket of the type used a century ago, he followed the trail of the thief, coming upon Maher, who wag riding the animal. MAY USE SAWMILL WASTE Professors Stafford and Shlnn of the University of Oregon chemistry department at Eugene are engaged In working out a process for the distill ation of wood for the purpose of ob taining Its by-products. They believe they have discovered a method that Is working out In practical results. If their discovery is successful it will mean a large saving in the material of sawmills formerly regarded as waste. MOSIER MAN INJURED While working around a stump on the Vensel ranch at Mosier last week a man by the namo of Everett struck his pick into a load of dynamite which had not been exploded. Result, the loss of one eye, the other injured and an arm badly damaged. He was at once taken to The Dalles hospital, where his injuries were attended to. The busier a man Is the less time he has to complain of overwork. RAILROAD MAKES MORE CONCESSIONS Further concessions have been made by the railroad along the route of the Columlla River road and the most difficult engineering problem on that portion of the road that lies In Mult nomah county has been eliminated. At the 33-mile post, at Oneonta Gorge, the county had determined to contruct a trestle to carry the road above the railroad tracks at the points where the cliffs come down so near to the river as not to leave sufficient space for the wagon road and the rails. This trestle would have cost the county $10,000 and would not have been permanent. The new proposition submitted by the railroad is' to yield its present road bed to the county and to move its tracks out onto a new fill, yet to he made. It requires that the county shall pay the expenses of relocating its tracks, but this is estimated at $5262, scarcely more than half of the expense of the trestle. The county also will be compelled to construct a short tunnel, about 60 feet long, but the expense will be small In compari son with the estimates for the other work. "This is another evidence that Pres ident Farrell meant what he said when he told us he would do all he could to help us build the road," says Judge Cleeton. "At every difficult point along the route the railroad has made concessions that have astonish ed us by their generosity. We have got all the best of it and are elated at the prospect of getting the highway built so easily." PORTLAND GIRLS HUNT A HOMESTEAD Clad in clothes that made them barely distinguishable from men and browned by the Eastern Oregon sun and wind, two Portland stenographers reached Hood River last week after having roughed it for a month hunt ing a homestead in Eastern Oregon. They wore their hair knotted up und er men's hats, carried buckskin rid ing whips on their wr!st3 and stalked Into the hotel dining room like a couple of cowpunchers, while the ap petites they displayed would likewise do credit to a cowboy just off a diet of salt pork and potatoes. The two enterprising young women were Katrlna Huntington and Delia E. Keli. They got a month's furlough and decided to try the pioneer's life. They equipped themselves with a team of horses, canvas covered wag on, rations and all the rest of the paraphenella. They first came to Hood River by heat and from here started for Eastern Oregon. They went by easy stages, camping out nights. They had in lieu of a male protector a collie dog, which was their inseparable companion. As they car ried considerable money they were further protected by a couple of guns which they confidently asserted they could have used had the emergency demanded. The two girls declared with per fectly straight faces that they had enjoyed the best vacation of their lives, having suffered no serious hard ships during the entire Journey. They got as far as Wheeler county, but were reticent when asked whether they had actually filed upon home steads. They left the impression, however, that they had been success ful In the object of their quest. They arrived in Hood River on horseback. Their rations had dwind led so rapidly during their Journey- back that they sold the wagon, bought a couple of stock saddles, strapped on their camping outfits and did the last lap of the journey on horseback. Af ter spending a day here they boarded the boat for Portland, taking their two horses with them, for use In an other trip to the frontier in the near future, they declared. TELLS CLUB OF "INJUNS" The Tuesday Evening Club was de lightfully entertained at the residence of C. K. Marshall by the Misses North ey and Crocker. E. L. Smith talked of "Injuns" of his acquaintance for the last 60 years in the Northwest and told many legends and customs of Siwanhes, Umatillas, and Puget Sound tribes which lie had heard di rect from these people or knew of by personal contact. Twesty-five mem- berg of the club were present and consider It a treat long to be re membered. The next regular meet ing of the club will be at the resi dence of O. P. Dabney on the evening of May 6. STOUT LADIES NOW LAMENT Dancing the turkey trot to reduce the flesh is the reason and the only reason, assigned by the New York men and women who cater to those who like that style of dance. And now the authorities have ordered all these Joints closed. Hard Hneg for the fat people who were working earn estly to get Into the thin class. INSECTS BECOME IMMUNE TO SPRAY In some of the apple growing sec tlous of the state of Washington the growers have noticed that the llme- and-sulphur solution which is used as a spray to destroy the San Jose scale becomes less and less effective every year. As a great and renumerative Industry depends for Its continued ex istence upon keeping down the insect and parasitic pests which prey upon the trees and the fruit, the orchard ists have been much disturbed by the situation and have sought to find not only a more destructive spray for their trees but also the cause of the gradual failure in efficiency of the so lution which formerly seemed entire ly adequate. A careful and scientific study of the subject appears to estab lish the curious fact that spraying for scale has developed a race of "bugs' which is becoming immune to the ac tion of the llme-and-sulphur solution. Scientists assert that this immunity is the result of the reproduction of the hardier individuals of the scale which survive the toxic action of the spray and breed successive genera tions with an increasing tendency to survive. In each generation all but the strongest yield to the pressure of unfavorable environment, and each generation shows the slowly cumula tive effect of this natural selection. A new type, and practically a new species of scale, gradually becomes differentiated and fixed.
