Instant Postum is quickly prepared at table, a cup at a ; time. Simply place a level tespoonful of the soluble powder in the cup, pour on hot water, then stir and add cream and ; sugar to taste. No waste. t i "There's a Reason" for POSTUM At Grocers everywhere. By Fred Ixxrkley. Hood River. Or., May 9. Hood River is raising apples, not prices, nowadays. Hood River is selling strawberries, not scenery. There was a day when Hood River was proud of selling Win ter Banana apples at 15 cents each. There was a day when Hood River proudly announced that Hood River orchard land was selling at anywhere from $1000 to $2000 an acre. That day is past. Today Hood River Is selling land for Its real value as orchard lan and- you will go far be fore you find better orchard land than that of the Hood River valley. The readjustment of value hurt, but happily Hood River's courage never failed and today Hood River is on the upgrade. The parasites fell by the wayside but the producers plugged along pa- "iently and are now reaping the reward of stick-to-itlveness. Association Makea Distribution. The Hood River Apple Growers' as sociation have just distributed $36,000 to the growers and will soon make an other payment. The p.verage returns were. $1.81 per box for extra' fancy, $1.47 for fancy and $1.10 for C grade apples. 1 have just returned from a trip to Parkdale and I was impressed with the splendid condition of the orchards and the large amount of new acreage com ing into bearing this season. Hood River county has 21,670 acres under cultivation of which over 12,000 acres are planted to fruit. Multnomah county, the smallest county in the state, has an area of but 451 square miles. Hood River is the next smallest county In the state, hav ing an area of 643 square miles. Harney county with Us 9933 square miles could be cut up into 18 counties the size of Hood River, yet Hood River county has twice the population of Harney county and is 36 times as densely populated. Hood River county contains but one one-hundred and seventy-eighth of the total area of the stale, yet, small as it Is, it has an assessed valuation of $10,673,522. alley Is World Famous. Hood River valley is probably the most advertised and consequently the best known valley in the world. The person who has not heard of Hood River apples or Hood River strawber ries is certainly unlettered and unread. About one-third of the population of the county reside within the city limits Of Hood River. There are approximately 50,000 acres of standing commercial timber out- slc.e the national forest area in the county. Part of this area Is tillable. There are over 37,000 acres of tillable land not now in cultivation. Hood River's prosperity is founded on the manufacture of her timber into Jumner and the manufacture of her sunshine, sou ana water into apples and strawberries. Hood River effunty's 36 Inches of an nual rainfall is supplemented by the unfailing waters flowing from the ba.se of Mount Hood, through over 200 n.iles of irrigating ditches. Some day Hood River will be as celebrated for its celery and cauli flower as it now is for its fruit. A visit to Odell will soon convince the most skeptical that clover and alfalta do well in Hood River valley. Annual Receipts Largs. Fruit brings in an annual revenue of approximately $2,000,000, lumber nearly $500,000, potatoes about $15,000 and alfalfa, clover, timothy and veg etables about $20,000. Engineers says that at least 100.000 horse power can be developed in Hood River. Only about 2000 horse power Is now developed, so, with her cheap and abundant power. Hood River can become a manufacturing district. One of the best indications of the Hood River valley's prosperity is evi denced by the fact that during the past 10 years about 150 power spray ers have been brought into the val ley. During the past year more than 50 more power sprayers have been purchased. As these power sprayers cost from $300 to $400 each it will be seen that this one item indicates a pretty prosperous condition among the Iruit growers. Originally the Hood River A. ;le Growers' association purchased about 500 barrels of lime and sulphur for the manufacture of spray. This year they have purchased 1500 barrels. Bank Deposits Increase. Deposits in the banks show a very healthy increase over a year ago. Mer chants report increased sales, all of which goes to show a return to nor mal conditions. During the past few days I have vis ited Cascade Locks, Dee, Parkdale, Odell, Vlento, Winona and Hood River and I now realize the scenic as sets of Hood River county. In days to come. Hood River will reap an an nual crop of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the tourist crop. With the wonderful scenery of the Gorge of the Columbia, with Mount Hood, Lost lake, the Hood River valley and in? numerable picturesque mountain streams Heod River county is a ver itable summer playground.

Gan Francisco, May 9. (I. N. Colonel E. M. Heigho, who Is a famil iar figure at intervals at the San Fran cisco hotels, lias just lost an appeal made to the United States postoffice department. He asked to be paid for carrying mail that had accumulated during a snow blockade on the Idaho roads in February. Colonel Heigho is receiver for the Pacific & Idaho Northern, a road 90 miles long, that runs from Welser, on the Oregon Short Line to New Mead ows, Idaho. It has been financially strangling for the past few years. For 23 days in February, the road was tied up by snow, ice and floods. First there came a snow of unparalleled depth, then a Chinook wind converted this into slush, and a hard freeze ended the disaster, the slush changing into ice. It tooks a gang of 60 to 100 men, using picks to open the roads. That done, the accumulated mail was sent through and the postoffice de partment piled in, for good measure, more mail which had accumulated for the Payette branch of the Oregon Short Line, this road being completely closed. Heigho wrote to the postoffice de partment, asking for an allowance for carrying the mail that had accumu lated or at least for as much money as he was entitled to for the 23 days. He has just heard from the postof fice department declining to make any allowance In the present showing. He says that he has no recourse to get his pay for carrying 23 days' mail for one day's compensation, to say noth ing of the mall from the Oregon Short Line. Artillery Officers Taking "Exams" Xdeut.
