LEVEL HEAD.
Along last winter, when tbe weather
was mild, the square miles of straw
berry orchards at Hood River bloomed
prematurely, and most people said that
it would be the ruination of the crop,
and there would be no berrins.
Hon. E. L. Smith said that they were
mistaken that as soon as premature
berries were nipped off, other blooms
would bloom in their stead.
He was right. Tbe biggest and best
crop in its strawberry history was this
season harvested by Hood River.
Hon. E L. Smitn is a practical, level
headed, energetic man. The people of
Eastern Oregon found tbat out when
he was' register of the government land
office at The Dalles and bandied with
such ability the important interests
connected with the founding of their
homes.
With such good men as Mr. Smith
tnd such good papers as th Glacier,
Hood River is sure to prosper.

THE HORSE -GREW.
A very clever trick was played on J.
G. Stine while receiving horses for the
cavalry service in Long Creek last Mon
day, says the Eagle. A beautiful bay
saddle gelding was brought in and in
every particular was satisfactory ex
cept that the animal did not come up to
the standard in height. Mr. Stine stated
that on account of the animal's falling
below the stardaid in height he could
not take him. The owner took the
animal to the shop and had him shod
with bigh-cork shoes, and brought him
in again for inspection. Mr. Stine did
not recognize the animal as one he had
just refused, and accepted him at the
regulation price.

SLEEPS WELL.
"Yes, indeed, I sleep well now. No
more nightmares for me," said Jas.
Hitter yesterday as he happily beamed
on people he met. Then be went on to
say: "I he causa ol my resting easy
and whistling as I go is that I have just.
bad my lite insured by L.. w . Briggs, and
now if I die my wife and little ones are
sure of money enough to carry them
along for years."
The news of both nemlphres In The
Weekly Oregonian.
MORROW'S MOUNTAINS.
It was very kind of nature to run the
western spur of tbe Blue mountains
through the south ten townships of
Morrow county. It is a beautiful re
glon of tall timber and good water, and
bas still a large area of government
'and.
Those who live up there like it,
Everett White came last March from
old Missouri, and is on the I. N. Basey
place, 20 miles from Heppner, with bis
family. Says it is away ahead of Mis'
souri. There are no large clear tracts
of agricultural land up there, but there
are patches thai produce hay, grain and
vegetables. Crops are a month later
than at Heppner, but the potatoes say
that all they asK is to be kept separate
from the hogs and they will make a
good showing.
Beyond the foot of the Caldwell grade
several new ranches have been taken
up, and Miss Pearl Basey has a school
of 7 pupils, and a Sunday school has
beenstarted. A county road along the
east fork of Willow creek would help
settlement very much.
J. N. Beeler has been living up be
tween the forks of Willow creek for 14
years, and has chopped out a good
home. He has quite a little orchard,
and says that this is the first year it
failed to bear. He has several acres of
timothy, some of it 6 feet tall. It started
itself, and shows that it is the natural
grass for Morrow's mountains.
It is a steep climb to get up to Mr.
Beeler's, but he says he prefers living
there to all the other places he bas
tried all over the coast. He has tbe
best spring on earlh, the mountain
robin nests in his dooryard and sings
him to sleep, and he pitchforks porcu
pines in his fruit trees. He has seen 3
feet of snow in winter there, but says
there are no harsh winds, and he likes
living up there.
People who are hunting homes should
inspect Morrow's mountains.

FIRE AND SMOKE.
Forestsy Agent Johnson says
that 400,000,000 feet of timber ia
consumed annually in the state of
Oregon for fire wood. Portland
burned 137,797 cords of slabwood
and cordwood last year. The
Southern PaciSc, which burns wood
exclusively on its Oregon lines,
consumed some 60,000 cords alone
last year, and will probably use
75,000 cords this year. The Blue
mountain wood camps cut 15,000
to 20,000 cords each, annually.
This wood finds a market in Baker
City, La Grande, Walla Walla,
and even Idaho. The steamboats
on the Columbia and Willamette
rivers consume enormous qaarjti
tities of cordwood and keep a small
army of men employed in furnish
ing it. .

visiting relatives here. They are father
and nepbew to Robert Hynd and Mrs
Win. Barrett, and their home is at
Arbroath, Forfeirshire, Scotland. They
will on this trip, their first to the Pacific
coast, visit all Oregon. '
Mr. Hynd Sr. bas a farm of about 300
acres, and practically every inch of it
is under cultivation. It supports and
gives employment to 75 people, and the
plan of rotation of crops is closely ad
hered to, and' fertilization is never ne
glected. Scotland must be a very
healthful country, for the two Mr.
Ilynds are the most robust men ever
seet in the Heppner Hills.

bad news from Nome, and says tbat of
26,000 people who have gone there, 05
per cent, will make nothing ; the beach
has been worked oyer 5 times ; there are
120 cases of smallpox and much pneu
monia ; there are 5000 people there who

IMPORTANT TO MOTHERS.
The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. II.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated
by reason of pirates counterfeiting the
Castoria trade-mark. This counterfeit
ing is a crime not only against the pro
prietors of Castoria, but against the
growing generation. All persons should
be careful to see that Castoria bears the
signature of Chas, H. Fletcher, if they
would guard the health of their children.
Parents, and mothers in particular,
ought to carefully examine the Castoria
advertisements which have been appear
ing in this paper, and to remember that
the wrapper of every bottle of genuine
Castoria bears tbe fac-simlle signature
of Chas. H. Fletcher, under whose sup
ervision it has been manufactured con
tinuously for over thirty years. Phila.
