HOOD RIVER.
The Hood River valley is essentially a
fruit " country. While this class of in
dustry is practically in its infancy in
that region, enough has been accom
plished to proveits admirable adapta
tion, in climate and soil, to fruit raising.
A careful estimate places the number of
trees already set out at 50,000. They
consist of apples, pears, plums, cherries,
prunes, apricots and other rarer varie
ties. We saw several young persimmon
trees that looked remarkably healthy
but whether they will bear any fruit in
this northern climate has not yet. been
proved. All these, with the exception of
the last, where the trees were sufficiently
matured are now covered with bud and
blossom, and give assurod promise of an
immense yield. The quality of the fruit
is not excelled any where. An apple
and pear exhibit was made at our last
district fair which was the admiration
and wonder of all who saw it. Peter
Mohr exhibited 18 plates of apples and
took 16 premiums, 10 of them being first
class. The same exhibit was afterwards
taken to the Portland fair and was pro
nounced the best exhibit at the fair. A
well-known California fruit puyer pro
nounced some white winter Pearmains
"the largest he ever saw." Sixty-two of
the same variety filled a box which
weighed 45 pounds. No proper estimate
can yet be made as to the profits of this
special class of fruit, as fully three
fourths of the trees are yet in their infan
' y. It may be said however , 'that an aver
age of ten dollars a tree is no uncommon
thing where the trees are six years old or
over. Some idea of the quality of the
fruit may be gathered from the fact than
in the exhibit already referred to was a
fipitzbergen apple that weighed 12
ounces ; a Swaar that weighed 14 ounces ;
a Blue Pearmain that' weighed 16 ounces
and a Twenty Ounce Pippin that weighed
exactly 20 ounces. In the varieties of
fruit already named Hood River will.dur
ing the coming season, beat all past re
cord. The wealth of promise was face
tiously told in the remark of Joe Wilson:
"There is a prospect of a good crop of
everything this year except politicians
It's an off year tor them."
Affairs at Newfoundland are in a very
bad state. All along the shore of For
tune Bay the' fishing villages are repor
ted to be in a starving condition. Their
only means to subsistance appears to be
the sale of bait of American and French
fishing vessels and this traffic have been
denied to the people by the action of the
. Newfoundland government. The result
is that starvation and want has driven
them to desperation and open resistance
Recently the government blockaded
Fortune Bav-with four armed vessels
but the blockade was broken by 70 local
fisherman - who succeeded in escaping
the cruisers and reaching St. Pierre
where they sold their bait to French
fishing vessels at 5 to $6 a barrel. If
the government authorities arrest these
men on their return, as it is said they
intend to do, bloodshed is feared, as the
men are desperate and do not intend to
be deprived of their right to live without
a struggle. Meanwhile the British gov'
ernment, unmindful of the peoples' need,
is quietly forging a chain to bind them
to their present condition. A bill known
as the Knutsford coercion bill, . whose
object is to compel the Newfoundlanders
to submit to the British programme,
has passed to a second reading in the
house of lords, without a division. Eng
land is simply an unreasonable bully
when she comes to deal with a people of
insignificant power. If Newfoundland
was half her match she would not treat
her in this manner for the world.
Oregon's Poor Economy.
The Argonaut.
Orezon is erandlv rich in airricultnral
wealth : she is rich in mines of the prec
ious metals and in minerals ; her great
forests of useful timber are figuratively
inexhaustible ; the noblest river of the
continent courses through her territory
and the state owes no debt. With all
of this transcendent 'affluence of possess
ions, and the incalculable, grandeur to
flow therefrom, with a full treasury and
no indebted, the men whom her citizens
chose to represent them in the legislature
wretchedly failed of their duty in the nick
of time, and virtually pushed shut the
doors against Oregon's making an ap
pearance at the world's fair, so far as
their action could affect the matter. It
is hardly too much to say that there- is
not a state of the union to which more
benefit and . greater profit ' can come
through the' agency of the fair. The
world' will be there to witness the mag'
nificent spectacle of the choicest products
aDd most attractive objects from every
portion of the republic, from every nation
of the globe. Oregon is in the ' adol
escence of development. She can make
a splendid showing. The action of her
legislature would restrain her from mak
ing any exhibit. It was not so much an
act of stupidity and folly as of mulish
stubbornness and insensate idea of economy.
An dpen River the Cry.
Portland must secure the opening of
the great Columbia river or lose the bus
iness of the inland empire, or the greater
part oi it. is tie cannot attora to sit still
in the Oregon style of years ago and
allow her more modern and enterprising
young sisters on the sound to gather to
themselves this vast volume of business.
She must be alert, and cast away that
idea that she seems to hold dearest :
that per cent, is the most important
thing to be taken into consideration.
In these latter days of business the man
men who live from straight per cent,
without effort or trouble on the part of
themselves, are growing in disrepute,
and are considered barnacles on the
bottom of the ship of progress.
The Oregonian must awake to the
importance of the occasion and blow its
horn for once without "cash down," in
order to save to Oregon the name of con
taining the largest city on the coast. If
Portland loses the business of the inland
empire, she will "not be in it." An
open river to the sea is the only way of
retaining it. It does not do for a man to
overrate his resources and underrate his
competitors, and neither can Portland
afford it. East Oregonian.'
The Glnry of a Woman.
"The glory of a woman is her hair,"
we are told ; but that depends in some
measure upon the way in which she
wears it. If, as is the custom of some
women, she brushes it back from her
forehead, and then, after stretching the
fibers to the tension of fiddle strings at
concert pitch, belays the mass behind
her ear 8, we must say that the appear
ance her head presents is anything but
glorious. By what technical name this
frightful arrangement is known we do
not know, but it might appropriately
enough be called the cemetery style.
Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Dec Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist.of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
'We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
uough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Ut course it made the babv vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
Dy s cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to, a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinerslv.
A lady who is a lover of flowers, savs
that after wearing roses an entire even

again by a hot-water bath. When she
finds that from any cause whatever the
blossoms' droop and threaten an early
death, she clibs the stems, and, by let
ting the stalks rest tor a while in steam
ing water, .finds every leaf revive and
freshen under the process.
