From the Moeier section and the coun

county, como like encouraging reports.
As a matter of fact the strawberry crop
has never failed. The only exception to
a full crop was last year when some pe
culiar atmospheric condition caused
the blossoms of one or two days to
blight; but as the strawberry vine's

for about thirty days, the loss was noyyeentat,;ve
appreciable.
tsWasco county strawberries, better
known as Hood River strawberries,
have now a national reputation. They
are known as superlatively "good shippers
and are by far the handsomest berry in
the market. Tney are of uniformly
large size, heart-shaped, beautifully col
ored, and possess a delicacy of flavor un
equalled by any other variety. In the
Denver market last, year they never fell
below $4 a crate, extending to the close
of the season, and the first brought as high
as $12 in Portland, a market right at our
4 doors. At the same time Hood River
berries were quoted $4, Missouri berries
were rated at $3, and California $1.50,
though the California crate contains
only two-thirds as much fruit. The
berry crop -brings in more money every
year ttian any otner pnduct cotempora-
neous with its season. The cherry and
early peach crop do not equal it, nor do
eaily vegetables. Any man possessing
two or three acres of ground and a flame
over it is independent, if he but engage
in the strawberry business, for he can
clear 15 cents a pound on an average
throughout the season, and each acre ia
capable of yielding, under the best con
ditions 6,000 pounds, or a net profit of
$900. , j ,

A Walt Whitman, Bob Burdette, M.
Quad, etc., and a host of lesser lights
who have inhabited every city of
America in the half century past. They
are a race of philosophers, not men of
the study, but possessing a large and
varied stock of general information
gained chiefly' from their characteristic
habit of itineracy good writers, pleas
ant conversationalists, always good com
pany in any stratum of society in which
they may be placed. 'Sufficient for the
day" is their only care; the future con
cerns them but little. Milton NobleB
reflected their disposition last mebt
when, as a salaried newspaper man in
the banker's niece
gold piece as
a wild animal, which we pursue relent
lessly, and having captured it devour
instantly."
"For Revenue Only" is a high-class
comedy, natural, real and may easily
have been constructed from personal ex
periences, which it nndonbtedly bas
been. The eligh't plot pissessed by the
play is woven about a political campaign
and its necessary incidental, a news
paper office. The leading character
is an editor, who guides the des
tinies of the campaign. Resourceful and
with great tact he apparently harmonizes
every conflicting element. This be does
in a variety of ways. He makes the
woman suffragist love him, the Prohibi
tionist drnnk, the. Populist expose his
ignorance, makes the laboring man an
elaborate promise, and tempts another
with the glitter of a high office. His
only failure is with the Democrat,' for
whenever the Irishman's political re
vulsion was threatened be braced him
self with the emphatic etatement "I am
a Dimocrat," and in that frame of mind
it was dangerous to molest him. The
finale results in an overwhe ming de
feat, but the newspaper man is com pen
sated, by gaining the desire of bis heart,
the possession of a domestic emolument
that outweighs every other considera
tion, and the love scene between Milton
and Dullie Nobles was a very pretty bit
of acting.
The support was all first-class. Mr.
and Mrs. Nobles have surrounded them
selves with a company of rare artists,
and the cast is what is known in thea
trical narlanna na at.pllAt-nr all ntarn.

The following telegram was received
by Mr. Sinnott last night. It is very
plain and easily understood, requiring
little comment at our hands. We desire
to note while passing that it is a post
election promise, which entitles it to
greater weight than anything received
prior to election day, and therefore
proves the sincerity of the work of the
