HOOD RIVER.
There are literally thousands of acres
in the Hood River valley admirably
adapted to blackberry culture where a
man enn make a good living off a very
xmall .piece of ground. K. K. Austen
has a blucklerry patch oonnmtintr of
three-eighths of an acre on a benchvof
land Heveral hundred feet above the
Columbia river. From ' this patch, in
the year 188!i, he sold 4,300 lbs of black
berries at an average price of pix cents a
ound, thus realizing the neat sum of
$ 258, or at the rate of $CS8 an acre. It
may be interesting to our readers to
know something as to the prices asked
for such lands as we have described.
The case of Mr. Absten will serve per
haps as well as any other. This gentle
man has 1(58 acres of timber land, with
about nine acres cleared. These nine
acres are highly improved. There are
4(10 trees of the usual varieties, all vig
orous, neaituy ana neanng. There is
: the blackberry patch already referred to,
now extended to one acre, and 16000
strawberry plants and two -hundred
grapes. He has a complete irrigating
system of his own, and can throw water
almost anywhere, on the whole J 60 acres.
Every kind of the hardier vegetables
grow with him to perfection. The clover
' among his apple trees supplies forage for
his cow and team. There is a fair box
dwelling and a good frame' barn. It is
an ideal home for a man of quiet tastes,
and the whole is o'ffered for $2.;(X).
PRICK OF LAND.
In a general way it may be said that
land sells all the way from f 30 to $60 an
acre and even higher. A fine farm of
80 acres nearly all cleared with a fairly
gooa House and barn sold a few days ago
for $2,500. Every acre of it is adapted to
fruit growing, and it is only about three
miles lmck of town. Further up the val
ley land can be had cheaper that is just
as good or better than that lying nearer
the Columbia. '
CORN AND OKAIN.
We have spoken of Hood River as a
fruit country and so it is. It has thous
ands of acres which if they were only in
California, instead of being held at $30
to $60 an acre could not be bought for
three times these terms. 0 But Hood
River can do more than raise fruit. At
our district fair last year somebody ex
hibited a watermelon that beat the larg
est at the fair by fifteen pounds. Most
of the farmers raise corn on their sum
mer fallowed land and with good suc
cess, although of course it is not claimed
to lie a corn country. Hut the wheat
grown there, as far as quality is' con
cerned, will lear favorable comparison
with that grown anywhere. Tt is nearly
all fall sown and produces from 25
bushels to the acre up. We were much
struck with the remark jf one of the
Hood River farmers when reference was
made to the many people who prefer
working out in order to maintain them
selves when they ought to make their
farms do so. He said "I make my place
support me and I don't work hard, either.
I raise fruit and corn and grain. I plant
the corn thick, cure it and feed it to my
cows with chopped grain im the winter.
As a consequence I have butter to sell
all the year round, and for dairy cows I
prefer corn fodder, as I raise and cure it,
to the best clover hay." '
A little patch of ground "not bigger
than a barn site" last year produced for
Peer Mohr nearly three tons of carrots,
and this without a drop of irrigation and
in a season four months of which' were
without a drop of rain. '
A disastrous split has occurred in the
ranks of the farmers' alliance in the
state ot Mississippi. As a result the
membership has shrunk in the last few
months from 25,000 to 15,000. The
cause of the split is disagreement as to
the wisdom of what is known as the sub
treasury scheme, or government pawn
offices where loans shall be advanced on
farm produce. r
Karth Odor.
Two French chemists, Messrs. Berthe
lot and Andre, have investigated the
cause of the powerful odor that arises
from vegetable mould after a fall of rain.
Thev find the essential principle to ' be
an organic compound of the aromatic
family. Its odor is very penetrating,
and analegous to that of the camphors ;
its proportion in mould is onlv a few
millionths, but one three-millionth of a
gram is sufficient to produce a sensible
smell.
Members of his old mess at Fort Nio
brara, Neb., have presented the new
brigadier general, August.V, Kuutz, with
a magnificent uniform, sword and belt.
SOUND ADVICE.
. We like the ring of the Buffalo Express
in an article under date of May 6th
headed, "Put On Your Kicking Clothes."
The Express is a republican paper and
the advice is, given to its own party but
there is no reason in the'world why the
democratic party, should not consider
itself equally admonished. The farmers'
movement is by no means so much an
endorsement of democracy as it is a re
buke of republicanism. If this move
ment has no other result than that of
compelling the old parties to put forward
only their best men for office it will have
accomplished something that every
American citizen should be devoutly
thankful for. The Express says :
Last year proved a very off year for
republican politicians. This year will
be more so. It will be difficult" work to
elect any republican candidates yet we
hear of the aspiration of a number of
'party, hacks." If these tende? shoots
have not been killed by the prevailing
cold wave it should be the duty of the
Republican League and kindred organi
zations and like minded individuals to
nip them off effectually. The way to do
this is to tell the party managers that
you will bolt the nominations of "hacks"
and then to be resolved to keerj your
word. If you cannot find good candi
dates in your own pariy support the
nominees of the other party. '
Too PermnaL
1 have been much impressed. Miss
Lion, remarked young Mr. .Trotter to
the girl at his left at the dinner table
upon whom he was desirous of making
a good impression, -'with an article 1
read recently in one of the magazines on
the influence of food upon the human
system. '
"Yes." replied the maiden encourag
ingly, and Trotter went on:
"The author maintained that a man
becomes to a great extent what he eats,
and, do you know, 1 am thoroughly con
vinced that he is quite right?"
It was extremely inopportune that the
hostess shonld have selected this moment
to ask:
"Mr. Trotter, won't you have some
more of the roast pork. You are so very
fond of it. I know." Chicago Inter
Ocean. Devie to Avoid Ocean Collisions.
In order to do away with the enor
mous pressure of -the water against the
front of ocean steampships an English
inventor has introduced a novel device,
which he claims will enable faster time
to be made by vessels, in addition to fa
cilitating the maneuvering of ships, and
tend to avoid collisions. -The invention
consists of one or more screws ' on each
side of the bow, each '45 degs. with the
bow and 90 degs. from each other. Ex
periments with these screws show that
the water is thrown from each side of
the bow, forming a deep well in front of
the vessel, and allowing the stern screws
to effect their full power in propulsion.

The anemone corona ria i commonly
grows wild about Smyrna and in Asia
Minor, spreading far and wide - as the
most beautiful of spring blossoms, grow
ing on chalk soil along." the-edges of
shrubbery. We cannot wonder that it
was already in ancient times a favorite
of the inhabitants and excited in poetic
minds sensations such as can only be ex
cited by surprising beauty. "Jam the
rose of Sharon and the lily of the val
leys," sings the firsterse of the second
chapter of Solomon's song, and there can
be no doubt today what is-here meant by
the rose of Sharon. -
It was an American, Fiske P. Brewer,
who decided this question. Narcissus
Tazetta; which likewise grows in Pales
tine, having previously been considered
the Biblical flower. This gentleman, ac
cording to the Edinburgh Review of
1886, while traveling in the year 1859
from Jaffa to Ranleh, came upon a place
where a considerable expanse of ground
was half covered with brilliant red
flowers. At the sight of them some of
his native companions immediately ex
claimed, "Roses of Sharon," and when
he inquired about the name he was told
that the anemone was there universally
so called.
In truth it .would not be easy other
wise to speak of a rose in Palestine, for
native roses do not exist there at least
not where they would justify the associ
ation of the plain of Sharon with their
name. Wild roses are found in Pales
tine only on Lebanon, or where, here
and there, R. centifolia is cultivated for
the production of attar, as in the Wadi-
" el-Werd (Rose-valley), near Hebron.
According to Ebers and Guthe, in their
"Palestine," the translations of the
Bible often use the word rose "where
there is no warrant for understanding
by it a true rose. The roses of Persia
'and Media were not introduced into
Palestine before the Grecian period.

How Old ts Punch?
On landing at one of the sugar fac
tories we found that there was a fair go
ing on under an avenue of tamarisks
close by. The dealers sat under the
trees with their wares before them, fruit
and vegetables in one quarter, cotton.
ana calicoes in another, native woolen
stuffs, robes, rugs, cloth, etc, in a third:
there was also a cattle fair, sheep, buf
faloes, camels and donkeys. There were
al fresco coffee stalls and a booth, with
in which the sounds of very noisy music
could be heard, the drum predominating.
We entered, and were much amused on
finding that it was an Arab Punch and
Judy show, but Punch wore a turban
and Judy a yashmak.
The former perpetrated a series of
enormities, and ended, by tearing' off
Judy's veil during a family squabble:
after this he -became m perfect desperado,
and on the mamour (chief magistrate of
the district), got up in the official tar
boosh and blue frock coat, arriving, at
tended by a retinue of cawasses armed
with sticks, he knocked that redoubtable
personage head over heels, amid the vo
ciferous applause of the assembled fella
heen. Punch pasha's popularity was
now at its height, and 1 much sympathy
was' felt for him when his career termi
nated by his being hanged -on the pole
of a shadoof 1 It was really a very clever
and lively performance. ..t r, .
I turned to the inspector of the factory,
who was with me. and said. "I suppose
they have borrowed this from Europe.''
"Borrowed it from Europer he ex
claimed. " Why j it was performed in
the east before Europe was thought of.
So then old Punch is. after all, but a de
generate version of an Egyptian play.

A Sure Way of Killing Owls. '"
Frost Bunker, of the Dead river re
gion, is a guide who. it is said, is a suc
cessful rival to James A. Smith, of Phil
lips a Rangely; guide in story telling.
Frost is intamately- acquainted with
"John Smith." who is well: known in all
parts of the country. - He says he was
with John on a hunting- trip once on a
time, when they came upon a man who
bad fired at an owl (perched in a big
tree) about a dozen times without suc
cess. As they approached the stranger
offered John a five dollar bill if he would
secure the owL John cocked his rifle
and walked around the tree. :
The owl turned his head ' in the same
direction as far as John walked. John
kept on going around the tree, the owl
turning his head all the while. Just as
John completed - the tenth circuit the
owl's head was twisted off and he fell to
the ground dead. John said small owls
couldn't be killed that way because their
feet would fly up in turning. Phillips

Salaries of Old English Aetors, .
. Eean never , spent more than two or
three thousand pounds upon a revival,
and this was" considered marvelous in
those days. -Messrs. Irving and Wilson
Barrett have more than doubled such
sums. . Again, salaries were incompara
bly smaller. For some time John Ryder,
who played spcond to- Kean, received
only three pounds ten shillings a week
until, discovering that another atttor of
about equal - position' was in the receipt
of eight pounds, he threatened to break
his engagement -unless bis ealfcry. was at
once doubled, a request which was com
plied with. '- Now such an actor would
command from thirty to fifty pounds a
week. On the other band, Eean raised
the ballet girls from a shilling a night,
their old pay, out of which they had to
find shoes and stockings, to a guinea a
week, and ' found them everything.
