APPLE Li
IS HIGH PRICED
Hood River Realty Owners
Base Values on Enormous
Profits Returned.
ONE ACRE WILL NET $400
Portland Business Men Are Aston
ished by Facts and Figures Fur
nished by the Fruitgrowers.
Some Examples Cited.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 7. (Special
Correspondence.) This fruit district has
made remarkable growth in the last
seven years. Its apples have, spread -Its
fame over the world and Its strawberries
over America. Tne profits of the apple
business are so large that they have
- raised prices of orchards to phenomal
-figures. The Portland excursionists here
.yesterday saw orchards that $500 an acre
or even $1000 would not buy. This at
taches high prices to real estate In the
town of Hood River. A corner piece of
and On the main street, 25x100 feet re
cently sold for $6000. and a bank is to be
built on the land. Another corner 50100
old for $6500. Rents for stores of the
usuar frontage, say 30 feet, range from
$20 to $75 a month.
All these facts are tokens of a thrifty,
prosperous community. They surprised
the Portland men greatly. Not that the
viators were Ignorant of conditions here:
they had heard many marvels of Hood
River and believed a large part of them.
But seeing Is believing, and even when a
man gives credence to a report, che proof
Dften astonishes him.
Learn Fact at First Hand.
The Portland men learned more about
Hood River lands and crops in the three
hours of their visit than they ever knew
before. They were informed by foremost
citizens that strawberries will yield net
profits of "between $300 and $400 an acre
a season and that apples will yield net
profits of $400 or more an acre one year
after another.
C Stuck Is ' a German farmer, who
secured his present orchard, five acres,
seven years ago for $100 an acre. The
archard was neglected then and con
sidered of little value. Stuck had to
borrow money to pay for It. Two years
later he was making $500 an acre a yeas,
and had paid his debts. Two acres of
the five he cleared of trees to make room
for his house. Last year the apple crop
of the remaining three acres he sold to
H. F. Davidson, of the Davidson Fruit
Company, for a little more than $3000.
Three years ago he bought five acres ad
joining for $500 an acre. Stuck lives well
and has money to give his children an
expensive education.
Portland Man's Big Profit.
Last year F. Bggert. of Portland, sold
the apples of a 10-ac're orchard, 4000
boxes, for $8500.
Mr. Davidson cited that his 25 acres of
itrawberrles last year netted him $4000.
He remarked, as showing the phenomenal
Increase In price of real estate, that sev
eral years ago he sold 50 acres of land
for $5000 and recently bought 40 acres, on
the opposite side of the road, for $9000.
Hood River men declare that the prof
its on their crops of fruit Justify these
high land prices.
A company is in the field to sell rough
lnd for $300 an acre, or cultivated and
planted In apple trees for $300, or after
caring for the trees five years to sell
for $400 an ' acre. . Then the trees will
come into bearing If they have been prop
erly cared for. '.
Banker Returns to Farming.
One of the leading orchardlsts. citing
that E. L. Smith had sold his apple lands
snd had gone- Into the banking business,
was asked why there should be this drift
from apple-growing if the business is so
profitable.- He replied that Smith is
getting back Into the apple business. This
prompted the remark from Senator Ful
ton: "The tendency used to be for a suc
cessful farmer to turn banker, after he
gathered together a lot of money: but
here the tendency Is the other way-''
Within two weeks the strawberries are
expected to ripen. And because straw
berries will be a light crop In the Middle
West this year. Hood River growers are
looking for high prices. The strawberry
business does not grow, however, as does
the apple business; hence much land is
being turned from strawberries to apples.
During the first three or four years of
an apple orchard, 1t Is common for farm
ers to cultivate strawberries between the
rows of trees. In this way, they get a
revenue while their apple trees are com
ing into bearing. Otherwise they would
have to go without returns on their or
rhard Investment for five or six years.
The capital represented 'in an orchard is
considerable for a farmer. Seldom can
he wait five years. Strawberries help
him out. They produce within a year
nd the young vines yield a day or two
earlier than old vines, so that they make
up in price for what old vines produce in
quantity. For these reasons, strawber
ries are called "the poor man's crop."
Eternal Snows Supply Water.
; A great part of the productivity of this
district comes from the watefs of Hood
River, which are used extensively for
Irrigation. This rapid flowing stream is
fed In early Summer and during most of
the year by vast numbered springs flow
ing from the mountain sides and In late
Cummer by glaciers of . Mount Hood,
which then turn Its water from crystal
to white. At the season when the most
water is needed for irrigation, the most
water, therefore, flows, this being in
August and early September.
Hood River farmers lay great store by
their river. They say the 100.000 horse
power of 10 miles of Its flow -will some
day light their houses and run their farm
machinery, their plows and cultivators
and what, not else.

SEATTLE Wash., May 7. The Iron

In the foundries on Puget Sound and the
"open shop" system has been adopted.

strike more than half are seefetng new
fields of employment.
The foundrymen of Western Washing

the union rule and the open shop policy
will be carried out in all the plants In

never again submit to union domination
of their plants. Hereafter the foundries
will be ranked with the machine shops
and the union card will not be recog

Clash Between Police and Sheriffs.
Heavy betting and serious clashes
between the Sheriff's deputies and
Chief of Police characterized today's
election. The polls opened at 9
o'clock and closed at 7 P. M., the sa
loons being closed by order of the

a special deputy sheriff was arrested

exercise a challenge against a pros
pective Democratic voter.

averted In thla instance, and similar
Incidents occurred several times later.

noon, after Sheriff Doak had threat
ened to arrest every policeman inter
fering with his deputies, an injunc
tion was obtained by the Chief of Po
lice prohibiting deputy sheriffs from
making arrests except on warrants.

standing being that the deputies
should act as challengers. Several ar

How Patst
Grows Malt
Malt is the body of beef. It
is what makes beer a food,nch
in health-giving qualities.
Malt is barley-grain,
sprouted and partially grown.
Most malsters torce this pro
cess in three or four days time.
Pabst takes the full eight days
as required by Nature, with the
result that Pabst gets a nutritious,
strength-building malt.
It takes Pabst longer and it costs
Pabst more to make this perfect malt,
but this Eight-Day Malting Process
retains in
Pabst
BlueRibbon
TU Bmt of Quality
the fullest amount of tissue-building
nourishment of the barley the grain
richest in food values.
The Pabst Eight-Day Matting Process
is much the same in its action as the
process of digestion. Pabst Malt is prac
tically pre-digested. Pabst Blue Ribbon
Beer is actually ready for the system to
assimilate without the necessity of first
taxing the stomach to digest it.
When ordering beer, ask
for Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Made by Pabst at Milwaukee

GOES FOR $7.50
BE. QUICK!
Here's about a dozen Squares. We need the room they're
worth more to someone else than to us, and they're going to be sold
sold for almost nothing as compared with the real service and satis
faction they'll give.' If you've a good-sized parlor, or want an ex
cellent practice instrument, you won't mind the piano being a little
out of style. A very small payment down and a few dollars a mouth
buys any one of them. We'll not quibble about the terms just
pick out the one that suits you best, and we'll fix the settlement to
please you, and. we'll have the piano in your home at once. Here's
a chance to start a musical education for daughter or son for a
oiere trifle. Later you can trade in for the full price paid, if you
like, and buy something better- but here's a starter. Look them
over today and the first one on the list goes for $7.50.
