TURNING GRAY AND THREATENED ; :.

Editor Chronicle : Your correspondent made a tour of Hood River valley during the last week ' and found things which may be of in- - ka r T- g-., M The rain 8 have brought the wheat into fine condition and those pieces that eeeuiea winter Kineu nave come iorwara An1 nnnT 1uit?- xrtmrr rAmiai r-i r We are informed that the frosts of '. to the strawberries, but the cold weather will cause late ripening. , Much enterprise has been shown this -spring in Betting out fruit trees, and we nave it estimated that Irom twenty-nve f.n mtv IhnncftnH fruit, trpun rif vnrmna -kinds have been set out in the upper and lower valley this spring, making now Jiot If es than 150,000 tree?, a large num ber of which are apple trees. In talk ing of this matter with a conservative but enthusiastic resident of the upper valley, we formed a rough estimate, and here is the result. About 400 car loads of apples will be shipped from Hood River station during the fall of 1900 if the prospect remains unchanged, or put ting it in another way it will take eixteen trains to haul the .surplus of apples alone. Still again about or more than 400,000 boxes will be required to bold these apples, and at the low price f 40 cents a box there will be returned - to Hood River to the producers not less than $160,000. We have not mentioned - the prunes, plums and other fall and winter fruit, which will be an unfailing source to the industrious. Then the far famed and beautiful Hood River strawberry in no distant day -will be sent bv the train load to the Eastern market, bringing back the gold and silver to the fortunate ones. . There is a bright outlook for this thriving town and not many years will see all the land in this highly favored alley under the -most thorough culti vation, and the fruit raising will be brought to almoBt perfection. xiev. j. r. viapp nas Deen Holding a eeri. s of union evangelistic meetings in ' the TJ.

We may be a little late, but our old friend, Horace Patterson, has secured a fine homestead right near Mosier, and has been down .there putting in a crop.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed, when the languid ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine - will . act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50c and $1 per bottle at the Snipes-Kinersly drug store. - - ' l We have left a few choice canna and dahlia bulbs, large flowering geraniums at 15 cents, and the choicest tea roses at 15 cents, or two for 25 cents. .
