The Chinamen who are domiciled in
the city cemetery, are having a feast to
day. It is tho custom of tho Chinese to

Styx. This custom is "neing observed '
this afternoon, but we are afraid thatj
the roast, pig, cigarettes, candies and
other articles which 'are placed on the
graves will do more toward helping the
Indians across the Columbia than it
will assist the celestials over the river
Styx. The Indians1 usually know when j
the Chinamen make the visits to the
graves oi their countrymen and wait
around till dark for the feast.

were camped along the railroad near the

Concerning: the IslHntls.
Mr. Fred V. Wilson returned last
evening from a visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, which he made in company
with Ed Wingate. The trip over and
back and the visit there he describes as
being exceedingly pleasant, and has
many kind words to say of the people
who inhabit those mid-ocean islands.
rhe climate he pictures as incompara
ble; the scenery exquisite, and the
native inhabitants kind and hospitable.
Business at the present time is prosper
ous in Hawaii, but the outlook for tho
future is uncertain. Many of the prom
inent men in business and public ad
ministration express fear lest the pres
ent reciprocity treaty be broken, and if
it is, hard times may "come a knocking
at the door" of Hawaii. Coffee growing
is in itB infancy as yet, and bids fair to
develope into an important and profita
ble industry. Coffee growing is about
the only business that a man with a
small capital can undertake, as it takes
money amounting to millions to start
and carry on a sugar plantation.
The great danger which threatene the
political and commercial prosperity of
Hawaii is the groat influx of Japanese
and Chinese. As will be noticed in yes
terday's dispatches, a clash haa occurred
between the Japanese and Hawaiian
officials over the landing of some immi
grants, and this is but a forerunner of
what may follow. There 6eems to be a
plan upon the part of Japan to secure
the islands if the United States does not
step in and take them, and preparations
are being made to that end upon the
part of the little brown men.
The travelers from The Dalles left
home December 21st, and reached Hon
olulu Jan. 10th by the steamer Mon
mouthshire from Portland. They left
the Islands March 10th by the sailing
ship S. C. Allen, and after a pleasant
voyage of sixteen days, arrived at San
Francisco. The trip on the sailing ship
Mr. Wilson describes as being more
pleasantthan that on the steamer, the
motion being less disagreeable and the
interest on the voyage more intense.
Home From Tlieir Journey.
Professors Cordley, Hedrick and Per
not and President Miller, of the 0. A.
C, returned home the first of the week
from institute work at Hood River and
The Dalles. At each point they were
greeted by interesting audiences, en
thusiastic in the search for information
relative to fruit culture, and with lec
tures illustrated with lantern views and
magnified representations of fruit pests
thrown on canvas by the projecting
microscope; their visit according to the
newspapers' published in the locality
were highly appreciated and most profit
able. Hood River ia destined to become the
great strawberry region of Oregon, no
other known locality in the state being
abla to compete with it in quality, pro
ductiveness, and earlinees of fruit,
Added to these, it has a well estab
lished good name in our western mar
kets. It is estimated that 25,000 crates

Two pests of tho strawberry, the leaf
spot and the root borer, havo matlo tlieir
appearance, but tho strawberry men
seem alive to the necessity of vigilance,
and will Drobably keep tho pests well
in subjection.
The apple industry at Hood River is
on a firm basis, although the growers
feel that in the future they must re
strict themselves to a high class of
fruit in order to successfully compete
with regions that produce a low grade
as cheap or cheaper. High color, good
flavor, and long keeping qualities, char
acterize the fruit grown here, and that
these attributes are appreciated in tho
markets is shown by tho fact that Hood
River Newtown pippins Eell for .$2.50 per
box this year, an even dollar more per
box than the same variety brings as
grown in less favored parts of the
state.
Speakingpf Tho Dalles, it is not gen
erally known, but nevertheless true,
that sonic of the best prune and apple
orchards grown in Oregon are found in
this locality. The trees are especially
thrifty and arc but little troubled with
pests if we except San .Jose scale and
codling moth, both of which aro being
most vigorously combatted. A good
many peaches aro grown at Tho Dalles,
and as a rule, pay well. The soil and
climate seem ideal for. cherries, gum
mosia being unknown; hut as yet few
cherries are grown, though undoubtedly
the openings for such orchards are good.
The Dalles bids fair to become tho great
market gardening town of the state.
Early vegetables, tomatoes, cucumber.,
melons and sweet corn, grow luxuriantly
and a largo trade for these products ha 0
already been worked up. Corvallis
