The strawbeny season iB over in the

fortunate in having a good crop are
counting their profits. William Lee, Jr.,

have been sold on the Taeoma and
Spokane markets, with some local sales,

per crate later. The average market
price has been equal to at least $1.50
per crate. Those who think there is

Most people like to get away from

time nor the means to go' anywhere and
so remain at homo all through tho hot
days. There can be no excuse for any

Knrron Chkoxicm:: It was an
nounced a few days ago that Hood
Kiver now has two saloons, paying a
license of iiuOO each. This money of
course is paid into the city treasury of
Hood Kiver. Hood Jfiver lias always
enjoyed the proud distinction of being a
strictly temperance town and having
furnished t he least amount of criminal
business for the courts of any community
of its Eize in the state. All this because
she never had a saloon. In yesteiday'e
issue you give a graphic description of
the th st, but inevitable fruit of Hood
River's recent change of policy. Poor
McGan was t lie first victim of the Hood
River saloons. It is said that he hud
been drinking heavily nt Hood River
the first statement of the kind ever
spoken against fair Hood River. And
this is the first blood stain on Hood
River's fair leputation. True, this lias
not cost the taxpayers any heavy sum of
money, but whatever cost wa6 incurred
in coroner's fees and burial expenses
comes out of the general hind of the
county tieasury, while the license
money goes into the city treasury ol
Hood River. Aid Hood River has
taken hei place in the common ranks of
crime-breeding communities. Shame on
Hood River. H.
