' FRUIT SHIPPING DUE TO IT Population of the Valley Ha Quad rupled and Land Price Have Ad vaaeed SOO Per Cent Since Ir rigation Came Five Year Ago. HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 23. (Spe cial.) Though' the annual' precipitation at this point Is "abouV26 Inches not greatly different from that at Portland Irriga tion Is a very Important factor in the prosperity of the Hood River Valley. Since Irrigation came Into practice on a considerable scale five years ago the population of the valley has quadrupled, the price of land has Increased 300 per cent and the entire fruit-shipping busi ness of this locality has grown up. Sixty thousand crates of strawberries (two dozen boxes to the crate) and 300 carloads of apples, of last year's production, have been shipped from this station and large quantities of line apples are still going forward to market. While Hood River Valley Is not so large a producer of strawberries as some other strawberry districts. It enjoys the distinction of shipping berries greater distances than other districts can. The strawberry Is a rather delicate fruit. The great strawberry districts of Missouri find their market in the large cities close at 1 and and the same Is true of Cali fornia, though to a less degree. This is fortunate for the growers of those states, for their product will not stand transpor tation to distant markets. It must be consumed or preserved soon after rip ening. But the Hood River market Is thousands of miles away. Berries go by the carload to Kansas City, Omaha, St. Paul, Winnipeg" and to any point this side that wants them. Shipments have been made to Chicago and Milwaukee and they may be again. The Hood River berry stands the transportation there tut usually the local production Is at Its best Jusjt at the time the Hood River berries would get there, and it Is found unprofitable for Oregon to ship so far and meet the local competition. Wiscon sin Is a prolific 'strawberry grower. Hood River apples are also famous and they are now being shipped to New York and aold at prices that- net the grower J2 a box. The strawberry Industry here depends very largely upon Irrigation. The climate of Hood River will do wonders for the berry, but for quantity and finish irri gation Is greatly to be desired and 1 adds profit to .the, business. It makes the crop sure and more than doubles the yield. It also assists the climate to make perfect a fruit of superior texture and flavor, which finds favor in any market and "stands up" for shipment a greater distance than the product of any other, locality. The maturing berry, supplied with an abundance of water. Is warmed and colored by the direct sun during the day and by radiation from the soli In the night, wMle a breeze cooled by the gla ciers of Mpunt Hood and Mount Adams gives the berry a crlspness that makes it famou. Irrigation Huh Ileen Proved. The irrigation which has added so .much to the wealth of the Hood River Valley has been In operation only about live years. On a very small scale it was practiced for a number of years before, but the engineering difficulties In the way of -a genoral use of that means of crop promotion prevented the develop ment of the process in a community un familiar with Its virtues. But In 1S33 the attention of Frank Davenport, who had had Irrigation experience in Utah, Montana and Idaho, was" drawn to the possibilities of the Hood River Valley and through his energy the irrigation plan of the Valley Improvement Compapy was built and has been serving a yearly in creasing acreage. Beginning with 330 acres in 189 the first year water was sold. It has applications for more than 1300 acres this yoar, 50 per cent more than last wason. The increase of-consumption Is fully equal to the ability of the company to provide the service. In deed, some -of the consumers say they would like more water than they got, but probably no Irrigation enterprise ever escaped hat complaint. Water is taken from Hood River about 14 miles from Its mouth in a flume live feet wide and throe feet deep. About half a mile below the headgatc this flume crosses over to the west side on a trestle 30 feet high, and It is that side of tho vallej that it serves. Throe and a quar ter miles farther on the flume enters a ditch and the soli forms the channel for the remainder of its course, except in spots The main stem is about six miles leng Then It divides into four branches and from those branches the sorvlce flumes and ditches are taken. All these ivlr.J about the country, which Is quite Irregular, and they hold the even slope at CIS feet to the mile all the way from the headgato to tho delivery point. . This descent is but a mere fraction of tho river, which roam along- Its rocky than.-.d falling about SI feet to the mile. Thus, in the 14 miles of valley the Irri gation ditch la able to water land more than 1000 feet above- tho river. But Sir. Davenport, who Is the president and chief owner of the enterprise, says ho would havtf the flume on a greater slope. It would carry a third more water on a de scent of ten niches' to the mile. That slope would not do for the ditches, however, for it would slve a current that would wiw?h the banks too much. Water is delivered by tho company at the boundary of the land served, the patron conducting it from that point to his crop in any manner that may please "him. Tho amount of water is governed by tlra slzo of the orifice In tho company's flume for each patron. The charge Is by the miner's inch, that is, the quantity that will pass through a hole one Inch square under a seven-inch head. One inch of water deemed .sufficient for an acre of ground and tho price of it to $5 a season. To persons familiar with the complaint that the Carey-law contractors exact O an acre a year for maintenance of the works they operate, this chare In th i Hood River Valley seems exorbitant but- tae conditions are quite different here and the land will stand the expense. This enterprise na naa many obstacles to sur- i mount and as yet there has been no nront I In It, but the increasing consumption of water 1s expected to remedy this difficulty and bring a material reduction In the water rate. This company has about 30 miles of water channel and has srent I $30,000 on the plant. Another Ditch Planned. A high-line ditch has boen planned by I this company and its construction will scarry irrigation to practically all the I, and on the west slue or the valley. Its capacity will be much larger than that of the present plant. There is an abund ance of water in the river for all the land that can be reached frost it. on both eides, so the- question of water rights will never vex. Altitude for the ditches may be gained by carrying the headgate farth er up the stream, which means increase of flame mileage, but in all future con struction ditch will be employed to carry the water Instead of flume wherever that Is practicable. Flumes are expensive to build and they are ahort lived. This beginning of the Irrigation business on a commercial scale in the Hood River Valley Is sure to lead to wonderful de velopment here. The Improvement of the past five years has been- beyond the dreams of the meet optimistic "Is not the price of fruit land now as high as Its earning possibility will justify?" was asked of tho ownor of a large berry ranch. "Well. I thought that when it got up to $109 an acre; but It's kept on advanc ing and at $900 an acre I don't see the limit any clearer," he answered. The Davenports thero are three broth ers of them, Frank being the eldest and leader all born in Utah and never having been east of the Rocky Mountains have brought this enterprise through to success in the face -of discouraging circumstances. They at first took the contract to build the works, but when the plant was com pleted they found they had a lot of stock on their hands and no money. They have worked along, making Improvements as they could, keeping thh service up to the highest standard of efficiency possible and preaching and practicing the gospel of Irrigation. There Is now not a man In the valley but what is convinced of Its efficacy. The demand for Irrigation la ao general that outside capital Is attracted to the field and an Idaho company is now engaged In surveys for a ditch that will cover a considerable part, of the valley. The value of the treatment has been proved and extentlon of Irrigation facil ities is sure to bo rapid in tne ruture. In this caso the pioneers propose to keep in the advanced rank. What the Hood River Valley will do when all Is under irrigation challenges the imagination: DIAZ IS BELOVED. Mexicans Holdlna- Mectlnsr to Effect ' HI Re-ISlectlon. MEXICO CITY. March 29.

DIES SUD DENLY AT CHICAGO. He First Shipped Dressed Meat Xa atead ef Cattle and Made Large FertHHe Death. Unexpected. CHICAGO, March 29. Gustavus Frank lin Swift, president of the Swift Packing Company, died at his home, ASS Ellis ave nue, early todiy of internal hemorrhages resulting from a surgical operation per formed several days ago. Mr. Swift was 63 years -old. ' The hemorrhage which caused Mr. Swift's death resulted from an operation for an infection of the gall bladder, per formed March 22, Hfs death was entirely unexpected, both by Mr. Swift's family and his physicians. He had given every Indication of recovery, and all danger was considered past. In fact, so hopeful was .every one, including himself, for his speedy recovery, that his son. Herbert L. Swift, who had been summoned from Boston, left Saturday night to return to the East. This son was intercepted at Harrisburg, Pa,, with a telegram an nouncing the death of his father. Mr. Swift had been suffering for some time with bladder trouble, and a week ago a operation was determined upon to glvo him relief. It was not expected that the operation would prove especially dan gerous, and nothing happened to cause a change in this hopefulness until this morning. His improvement was stopped suddenly by a -hemorrhage, which the doc tors were unable to check, and which caused his death in a short time. No ar rangements for the funeral have yet 'been made. Gustavus Franklin Swift began his busi ness career as a butcher. He leaves a fortune estimated at from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000, made in the course of 45 years. He was born at Sandwich, Mass., In 1S33. He opened a small butcher shop In his native town. He removed to Boston when he was less than 30 years of age. He re mained In Boston until 1875, when he came to Chicago. In this city he engaged In tho same business which he had left in Massachusetts, and developed the indus try of shipping live cattle to Eastern markets. In 1S77 he evolved plans for the refrigerating car, and dressed meats In stead of live animals were shipped to j Eastern cities, e was the pioneer in this uuu ui uusiucas, unu ii wjih hul long Be fore others saw the advantages of his method and Imitated him. Mr. Swift was not only the oldest packer at the time of his death, but he was the originator of the methods that has made large fortunes. From the small plant started In 1S77 has developed a great cor poration with branches at Kansas City, St. Joseph. St, Louis, Omaha, St, Paul and Fort Worth, Tex., and with distrib uting offices in every important city and town In the United States, and with rep resentatives in the leading cities of the United States, Asia and Africa. Its em ployes number 22.607. Upon. Its capital stock of $25,000,000, the sales of 1&02 ex ceeded $200,000,000. Death of Well-Known Priest. NEW YORK. March 29.
