Recently a couple of bicycle scorchers
died. The doctors said their demise
was caused by heart disease ; but they
can't stuff that down a suffering public's

his anatomy being supplanted by gall.

the Congregational Sunday School last

HOOD RIVER'S EXPERIENCE.
Only One Hinket fur lift Kcc. nntl Tlmt
Dropped.
Hood River is undoubtedly one of tho
finest sections of Oregon, and yet just
now the people down that way feel
pretty blue and sore, resulting from tho
partial failure of the strawberry crop,
aggravated by a really inferior berry and
from that and other causes, poor prices.
The trouble with Hood River is that,
like many other communities, it has put
all its eggs in one basket. This is only
true in a sense, for outside of tho ber
ries, hundreds of acres of orchards are
growing that in a year or two will yield
abundantly and furnish at lunst a second
basket for the eggs. This trouble will
soon be obviated, but it sliould have
been dono long ago.
Eight years ago, in Ptarting tho
Glacier, wo advocated bringing the
waters of Hood river through tho val
ley. We talked it in season and out,
but the insane desire possessed by some
people to pull a wagon out of the mud
by pulling in opposite directions pre
vailed and nothing could be done. Now
the big west Bide ditch is Hearing com
pletion and water w ill be abundant for
all purposes.
Year after year the berries have been
picked aud sent away, the checks re
ceived, cashed and sent away too. It
took all the berry money to buy hay and
feed. It is the richest agricultural coun
try on eariu, lor us tanners nam ineir
prpduce to market in top buggies and
haul their hay home in tho name ve
hicles. No other country could etand
"ItT With the completion of the bin
ditch, Hood River can have hay to .sell.
The Boil is adapted to the growth of
clover and alfalfa, and when the money
received for berries Is kept at home,
things will he different.
It ia undeniable, though, that Hood
River has had the worst season it ever
experienced, aud one that if its good
citizens are wise, will never happen
again. Water will he abundant for all
purposes, the orchards will come into
bearing and the many little and big
holes through which the money leaked
out being stopped, our neighboring town,
iu the language of the immortal Sandy
Rowers, will "Have money to throw at
the birds."
