BEWARE OF DECEPTIONS
Hood
By Fred Lockley.
River, Or., March, 6. Some
philosopher has wisely observed that
a len doesn't quit scratching because
Vorms are scarce. Hood River is still
scratching, notwithstanding the Xact
that the growers were hard hit by the
Hump in the price of apples. The real
farmer or orchardlst has little to fear.
He has his land and he can make his
Jivin; from it. While this is true of
the man .who wears overalls and Is
Willing to bend his awn back, it is hot
ttrue of the "kid glove" orchardlst, who
wants to live by the sweat of other
people's brows. He is in a bad way.
3o is the speculator who has been
telling scenery at .fabulous prices. A
year or two of low prices for fruit
will bring fictitious prices down to a
basis where the land is valued at the
price it will earn In actual crops pro
duced. District Is All Bight.
The Hood River district is absolutely
all right. That fact is too well dem
onstrated by its past performance to
be brought Into question. What is
not, all right is, the, valuations put
Upon Hood River land by greedy spec
ulators who have boosted the price out
of all reason. If some well-to-do
easterner buys a few acres' for a home
on account of 'the wonderful view of
Mount Hood and pays $2000 an acre
for It. Instantly the speculators who
have bought land at $150 an acre and
are asking $1200, herald to the world
that Hood River orchard land Is sell
ing for $2000 an acre, and at bnce boost
their prices from $1200 to $2000 an
acre, xnar is wnat is tne' matter with
Hood River. The worst thing that can
happen to an amateur gambler is to
make a winning. It gives him a taste
or easy; money and destroys his sense
of values. He gets .something for
nothing, and so takes the first step
toward becoming a parasite. The worst
thing that can happen to a community
is to get the idea they can live on the
increase of land values instead of
from productive work. One of the
greatest mistakes a community can
make is to welcome the land boomer,
who advertises broadcast that orchard
lands' are selling at from $1000 to $2000
an acre.
. Goes fiomiwhur !.
" The young middle western farmer,
the real worker and producer, cannot,
and will not, pay such prices; so he
goes to some other community, where
he can secure farm land at from $50
to $J50 .an acre. .The kid glove farmer,
the retired professor doctor or law
yer, lured by the bait of the plausible
but deceptive advertisement, puts his
savings into an orchard as a first
.payment, expecting to direct operations
in a comrortawe lounging suit from
the front porch, and also expecting
th' first crop to pay the balance due
On the place. He is due to have a
rudo awakening. He loses the place,
goes back to his home in the middle
west to take up his old work, and the
voice of his. walling is heard in the
land. Naturally, he condemns the west.
Has not he . had a bitter experience
with the western land, sharks? Here
Is one' case that was told me recently.
Tw6.or three years ago a cultured
easterner came to Hood River. He
bought an orchard! for $13,000, paying
$5000 cash as a first payment. He
learned; that the same 'place had been
purchased less than three years before
for $2400. - He .wanted to turn the
place back, offering to lose one half
of the $5000 he had paid.
" Befuses to Take It Back.
' Finally he offered to lose the entire
$5000- payment if he could have his
secured notes for $S000 returned. The
man who had sold it refused to take
the orchard back in exchange for the
notes. The easterner discouraged and
embittered, returned east and put the
place in the hands of a real estate
man to sell. To'u don't condemn all
diamonds because you have purchased
"one with a flaw, nor do you refuse to
accept $20 gold pieces because you

might take a counterfeit. All mines
are not wildcat propositions.
Hood River is a wonderful apple dis
trict. As I drove over a splendid road
recently between rows of beautifully
kept orchards, up the valley to Billy
Sunday's orchard, I could not help feel
what a revelation Hood River is to
the stranger. as to what an apple or
chard should be.
The right varieties, proper planting,
pruning, spraying and cultivating have
made Hood River a model apple dis
trict. To look at . a Hood River Newtown
or Spltzenberg makes one hungry. No
appetite, however jaded, can resist the
appeal of the king of fruits, whether
it is served raw or in apple sauce,
apple butter, apple pie or in apple
dumplings. After you have eaten a
second -or a third serving, then wash
It down with a generous glass of Hood
River cider.
In Hood River, they tell a story of
a man . who, having lost his appetite
and his Interest in life, went to a
doctor to get a prescription.
Doctor OlTs "Belief."
The doctor prescribed albumen,
phosphorus, malic acid, sugar and
gallic acid, in proper proportions. ;The
man had no idea his case was so seri
ous and decided to make1 his will at
once. The doctor relieved his har
rowed feelings by saying: "You will
find that prescription, properly com
pounded, in an apple. The malic acid
in an apple will neutralize the excess
of chalky matter in your system
caused by eating too much meat. The
acids in the apple will diminish the
acidity of your stomach and help to
cure; your indigestion. The 'phosphorus
and! acids are both good for your brain.
and if you will eat several apples a
day you -will soon- feel less sluggish.
They will also help "clear your muddy
complexion, and you will feel less ner
vous. If you. will largely eliminate
meat and an excess of starch from
your diet, take plenty of exercise, sleep
eight hours, get plenty of fresli all,
stop worrying and eat several apples
a day, you will never need a doctor's
care, and you will renew your youth
like the eagle."
. J. H. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich.,
in a recent article about Hood River,
said: ,
Xequlrs Wo Cooking.
"Fruits differ from most other foods
In the fact that they require no cook
ing. They are; as they say in Mexico,
cooked in the sun. It may even be"
aid that they require no digestion.
This last statement, if not absolutely
true. Is nearly so, for the sugars and
acids of fruits require so digestion,
but are ready for Immediate absorp
tion and. supply the body with nutri
ment in its moBt easily available form.
This is why fruits and fruit Juices
are so wonderfully and Immediately
refreshing.. The energy imparting ele
ments which, they contain are . ready
for immediate absorption and hence
do not tax the body or digestion.
"The common prejudice against tre
use of acid fruits on the ground that
they render the blood acid, and hene
should be avoided In gout and rbeuma-1
tlsm. Is entirely without : foundation.
The acids of fruits are combined with
alkaline substances. When fruits .are
eaten, the acids are quickly, digested,
burned or utilised in the body, leaving
the alkalis behind, so that the effect
of fruits, even those that are decidedly
acid in flavor, is to increase the alka
linity of the blood and to aid the body
In getting rid of uric acid and other
poisonous acid wastes. The free use
of apples and of juicy 'fruits' of all
torta is to be highly recommended in
all cases of chronic rheumatism, gout,
and in fact In all forms of chronic dis
eases. Fruits stimulate intestinal ac
tivity not only by furnishing the hulk
which the bowels require to stimulate
action, but also through the stimulat
ing effect of 'the acids"' and sugars
which they contain, which act especial
ly upon the small intestine."
After years of experimenting, It
has been found that the northwest ex
cels in the production of certain vari
eties of apples. ,
. Bom Xlnds Excel,
i In Hood River, the two apples most
largely raised are the Newtown Pippin
and the Spltzenberg. Other applet
raised at Hood River with great suc
cess are Arkansas Black, Winter Ban
ana, Borne Beauty, Delicious, Winesap,
Ortley, Red Cheek Pippin, Wagener,
Grimes.! Golden. Jonathan, King Tomp
kins, Gravensteln and Mcintosh Red.
We are indebted to Germany for the
delicious Gravensteln, to Ontario for
fhe Mcintosh Red, to Virginia for
Grimes' Golden, to Arkansas for the
Arkansas Black, to Ohio for the Rome
Beauty, and to New Jersey for King
Tompkins, the Wagener, the Ortley,
the Red Cheek Pippin and the Winesap.
The Jonathans. Spitzenbergs and New
town Pippins originated in New York J
state, and the Delicious hails from
Iowa.
Hood River owes a large debt to the
tipple, and the day will- come when,
through the increase of commercial
Orchards, the apple will win Its way,
if not to all hearts, at least to all
stomachs. .

His Death,
(Special to The' Jouroal.
Klamath Falls, Or., March 5. ;
Search is being made today for the
body of George Cornell, 33, who was
seen for the 'last time struggling in
the wild waters of Link river. His
canoe, hat and paddle have been found.
Cornell, an Upper . lake navigator,
left Upper lake landing for town. In
tending to land near the source of
Link river. It is believed he went too
far out, and was caught by the cur
rent and swept Into the river, which
for a mile is a seething whirlpool or
wild raging waters, hiding many
jagged rocks.
Cornell had Jokingly stated that he
would shoot these rapids for motion
pictures. !

Preliminary plans and estimates for
the improvement of Union avenue from
Bryant street to Columbia boulevard.
which is to be one of the approaches to
the bridges, are now being prepared by
the department of public 'works and
will be submitted to the council soon.
The improvement is to include-a via
duct over the O-W. R. & N. company
tracks between Lombard street and
the boulevard.- This viaduct will be
233 feet long and about 68 feet wide
and will cost approximately $32,000,
The entire improvement, including the
hard surfacing of the street north of
Bryant street, the. viaduct and the dirt
fill, will be about $60,000.
It is proposed to assess the cost of
the viaduct and incidental costs to
property owners ' along Union avenue
and adjoining streets from the pro
posed viaduct to the Broadway bridge,
and the cost of the hard : surfacing to
the property directly abutting the pro
posed improvement. As this street -has
already been selected as an approach
to the interstate bridge, work is to be
rushed to get it under way so that it
will be In readiness when the bridge is
completed.
