X V 1 V I 'Heed jivcr Siacier, HOOD IMVEK, OR., MAY, 7, ' JFOR A TRAINING GROUND. Arrangements are bcUig male Torw .ganizing a-i ngriculttnral society here, : nd providing grounds .for n exhibit. In connection therewith it is proposed to lay off. a half-mite track for speeding horses. There are -several places near town that would make excellent sites. One great trouble with the races at Portland Is the wet weather, which prevents proper training. 1 here Is no doubt but that Hood River enn be made the great training ground of Oregon. The climate here Is an improvement on Western, or Eastern Oregon, being n compromise between the twi, with all the best features of both. The ground .! a sandy loam, which forms an excel lent track and does not get muddy even with the hardest rains. The dis tance from Portland would admit of horses being trained here, and as they ran be shipped either by train or boat, at a cost of $2, it is accessible from a financial point of view. Besides hav ing good ground for tracks, the drives for exercising horses are by loirjj odds the finest in the state, and at all seasons of the year, except in the rare event of 1eep snows. :It would be an excellent thing for the horsemen, and would also he a good thing for the town. A joint tock company will be formed and it. is to be hoped that a liberal share of the tock will be taken here.

S. liarly Berries. - ; , The first strawberries of the season were brought to this office Monday by Mr. W. A. Brooks. .' There were hot many of them, but they were dead ripe, of good size and fine flavor. These berries were raised by Mr. Brooks on his place at White Salmon, across the Columbia from this point, and demon strate that that point is one of the earliest iu , the northwest. At this writing! Thursday, we have not heard of any ripe berries on this side, but a few days of the present weather will fend them in by the wagon load. Mr. Brooks has captured the banner this year for early berries, as he did last sea son, He tells us the shipments from that point will be double those of last year, owing to increased acreage. The Original Gerrymander. Elbrldge Gerry, a democratic Massa chusetts politician of the latter part of the eighteenth and the early part of the present century, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was- ac cused of having instigated the first di vision of states into congressional dis tricts without regard to the natural order and conditions in order that his arty might meet with success. From lis name a certain district in Massachu setts was called a . "Gerrymander." Since then, whenever' a similar at teiiipt has been : made, it . has been known as "gerrymandering." Wor cester's dictionary says it was so named after "Elbridge Getty, who,' as gover nor of Massachusetts sanctioned this fraud. . A person on looking at the map of a portion of Massachusetts rearranged for pqliticid purposes remarked that it re sembled a, sajaniander. 'bay rather a Gerrymander, ruioiued a friend who stood near." Continuing the definition it states 1 that it is a term of American politics ; meaning "to rearrange electoral dis tricts, as of ji wtiite or p;irt of it, so as to enaoie one puuucui pan-y ui reaim a greater numoeroi ivpreseiuauves umu It is fairly entitled to." In 181:2, while he was governor of Massachusetts, only a tew montns be ' lore he was elected vica-pre.iidcnt oi' the mt0 eX(Jcution for strengthening his party, and the plan was carried out. The "gerrymander", was made up of the counties of Salisbury, Amesbtiry, Haverhill, Methuen, Andover, Middle ton, Lyonfield, l)anvers, Chelsea, Lynn, Salem, and Marblehead. Gerry, who was a democrat, found things pretty warm in his own district. He was governor .by the ukin of his teeth, elected on his third successive candidacy, having teen defeated on the first two. He was accused of taking this way of making things open in case he wanted to return to congress, where he had served fovr terms prior to his commisiou to accompany Pinckeny and Marshall on a mission to t rance and his election as governor. Gerry died shortly after this while riding in his carriage in Washington, D. C. That was eighty years ago, and since that time it has been learned that Gerry really opposed the gerrymander, but the name stuck, and there have been other examples following closely the original gerrymander. Almost every state has had the same experience in one way or another. Sometimes it is not a congressional district, but merely a countv commissioner's district or j state legislature KrrymHnder. t A 7 n I For Supreme Judge, '., F. A. MOOllE.

Origin of the Potato. : The vegetable originally used as the potato was the production of the Con volvulus Batata, Which grows wild in the Malayan Peninsula. These plants were introduced into England from South America by Capt. Hawkius Ger arde,, who cultivated them in his gar den In London in 1597, and called them potatoes (from batata). They are im patient of cold, difficult to preserve, and often get moldy, and are still slight ly cultivated in the south of France and Spain. These are the potatoes of Stiakspeare and hi contemporaries. They were supposed to be restoratives for persons of decayed constitutions atid of advanced age, wherefore Faldtafl' cries "Let the sky rain potatoes." ("Merry: Wives of Vv in dsor, ' ' Act V. , Scene 5. ) The present potato, which has de rived its nameirom thejold batata, was taken to Ireland from Virginia by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1589, and planted in his lands near Yonghal, and called Vir ginia potatoes to distinguish them from the batatas or Spanian potatoes. So late as ivjm potatoes in Kngland were roasted, peeled, sliced, and put into s;ick with sugar and were also candied by confectioners, in 1742 they were in troduced into Franco, but were long held in contempt as only fit for the use of poor people. The potato, though a useful, is an unromantic vegetable; yet there is one reminiscence of interest at tached to it. Ln the imperial' gardens of Schonbrun, near Vienna, where poor young Nappleon, styled King of Rome, spent the greater part of his short and semi-c-Eptive life, there was a plot of ground appropriated for his own amuse ment, which he tilled with his own hands. Instead of the fruits and flowers in which a boy ' might be expected to delight he cultivated only potatoes, whose white or purple flowers he en deavored to train into tufts or bouquets. When his crop was ripe he harvested it himself, and always presented it to his grandfather, the Emperor of Aus tria, who used it at his own table. v Does S. B. get there? smile. S. B.
