3 food Jiver Slacier. jHOOD EIYER, OR. JUNE, 23, 1391.. ' . THE APPLE IS A'ZAYA That it will not do to put all of one's egf ia one basket has bceu jrett thoroughly demonstrated by the berry .cop thia season. With thousands of craves ripe, the ability to reach a mar ket is, without any fault of ours, sud denly taken away. The straw harry crop has been the principal oue of this section, and while it will not ouly hold jra present yield but will double iiod treble it, it will in a year or two be-; .(Cumeof secondary importance. Prunes, peaches, cherries and small fruits gen erally are a necessity to the fruit grower because they furnish him money early ia the season as well as early in his business. They are a means to an end, furnishing the money to support the family and to improve the farms; They .all bear their one fatal objection as a crop to be relied upon, and that is the .absolute necessity of finding a market or them as soon as (they are ripe. This :iuay not be true of the prune, but for it ,the.ame conditiou exists, it mml be .taken care of at once when ripe. The fruit for Hood River, the one that is to jnake her famous as well as prosperous, 4s the winter apple. That can he kept. It can be gathered leisurely, and can fce held indefinitely. It will, when Alice in tearing, bring betier and steadier returns and at the very least .outlay. John Sweeny's orchard 'hua jyeur, its first year of bearing, produced more net money than would or could have been derived from the same urea of laud sown to wheat in thirty-six ears. This year it should yield Jifty times as much, net year seventy times as much, and then for twenty earspue huudred times as much. In other words, oue acre ..of winter apples js worth more, year in and year out, than one hundred acres of wheat. . Six ,acres of good orchard will yield a larger pet yield than a section of wheut land. Multiply the acres in Hood River val ley by 100, and some Idea of the wealth that it will eventually produce may be jgained. In other words, every section In fruit Will produce a cash value equal to three townships of wheat. The win der apple is going to accomplish this result. And the next few yeaid, as the young orchards come into bearing, will prove the truth of this assertion, though It now seems a wild one. We can but reiterate our former words, "Plant up ple trees;, twenty acres if you can, oue tree if that is your limit; but plant at very opportnnity." When this valley is an orchard from .'the' mills to the jBiimrnit east of us, arid from the river back for twenty miles, then only will it have attained its full development, ;Hood River valley is the lest section of . the state. Mae the most of it. J?0 FAILURE OF CROPS. Portland papers are nothing if not incorrect.. The Telegram recently said that "berries are bringing a fine price Jn Portland," and that Hood River, which heretofore had supplied that market, had lost her crop on account of frost. Asa matter of fact, Hood River never supplied Portland with straw berries, and outside of a few very early berries, never sent any that way. Our market has been east,- and Portland has not taken one per cent of our crop. JJerries are selling now for three cents 0 box In Portland, just what it costs us for boxes and picking. Our berries bring on an average from ten to twelve rents per box here, and they bring that price because they will stand shipment rind handling, which the Portland, or, - for that matter, no other berries, will pot. Again, we have not had a failure of the crop. The frost took some of the earlier berries, but there are enough left to make us all tired looking at them rotting on the vines. What Hood River suffered from was high water, that took out the railroad, shutting her off fronr the markets. Hood River crops - never - fail, and the Intelligent commission man who furnished the in formation to the reporter that our crop had failed was talking through his very empty hat. The Oregonianta placed eight type setting machines In Its office to set the type for that paper and the 2'clegram, and imported men from the East to operate them. This throws out of em ployment about thirty regular com. positors, besides that many subs, some pf whom have been employed on the paper for (bjpty years. The old force expected, at least, to run the machines, put when they were set up and ready for work, the new importation ,of ex perts walked into the office and took fharge. The Oregoniau, never friend ly to organized labor, is- now independ ent of the printer's union for the first time since the latter's organization In Portland, some fifteen or tweuty years.

The United States senate )s still monkeying with the tariff bill. The Individual members (democratic) are saved the trouble of making asses of themselves, for the Almighty in His wisdom so created them that a diet of thistles would come natural to theui. Gorman, Rrice, and all that race are covered with sugar and sugar scandal until they are sticky. They are trying to pull the wool down over the sticky mass, but it matters not whether they be covered with wool or sugar, hair or cotton, the good old democratic ears stick out, the good old democratic tail switch.es at the flies, and the good old democratic bray makes public the fact that the democratic animal is under the coat. A democrat is really to be pitied. He is so phenomenally hope ful, so J athetically simple, so thorough ly impregnated with foolishness, so pre-emiueuUy satisfied with anything his party may do, so gentle to lead, kind to drive and true under the .sad dle, no matter how sore his back, that his very patience awakens pity. Like his prototype, the burro, he earries a load twice his own weight, and don't know enough to buck. The reason Is plain. Individually and collectivefy he is an ass. STOVES AND CLEANLINESS. One of the Ailvantge of Life In a Tens .niellt Unurte. One reason for my preference for the large tenement is that it permits the elimination of the oooking stova from each household. "A home with out a stove ! Impossible I" I " hear many exclaim. Not in the least im-possible--aiid something for the very poor greatly to be desired. First, so far as heat is concerned, in a tene ment house holding 50 or (50 families, heat may be supplied from a central lource which would be far too ex pensive in a small tenement bouse of 8 or 10 families. The poor usually buy fuel in small quantities at exceptionally high rates, and this uniount, if added to their rent, would in a large tenement sup ply them with heat by steam or hot water, which would be far prefer able for the following reasons: The storing of fuel and the carrying it up long flights of stairs by the hodful would be done away with, and the Bending children out to gather kin dling from whai"ve8, streets and vat-ant lots, wjtb the dirt and slovenli ness and weariness which always at tend such work, would be abolishted. No one who has not worked long among the poor can realize the serious drawback to good temper, comfort and cleanliness that the mere care of fuel, the cleaning of the stove, and the disposal of ashes involve ;with people who must eat, sleep, bathe and live around a coal stove three or four flights from the cellar or ash barrel, as is the case in the majority of our tenements. The waste in fuel is of ten appalling, due largely to igno rance about drafts and to letting the fire go out during a :inorning's ab sence from home and then rebuilding it to cook the dinner. 1 once saw a child of 10 in a room strewed with shavings and ashes try to make a fire by placing the coal on the bottom of the grate and lighting from the top the kindling and paper that were laid over it. In families that were receiving coal given in charity 1 have repeatedly seen red hot stoves packed full of coal, the drafts all open and the heat going up the chimney. The doing away with the heat of a stove in the living room (luring the summer months is no Bmall contribution to the health and good temper of the inmates. Lucia True Ames in New England Mag erne. ' ' There came a time in the history of my life when I suddenly realized that I can tell a brierwood from a meerschaum while it is being smoked. It was borne in upon me that by years of subtle training I had come to know a "Perfecto" from a "twor for-a-nickel." It flashed upon my sinful soul that I, Sappho, the scorner of nicotine, was myself a connoisseur of the delicate and difficult art of dis tinguishing even from the next room the varying characteristics of differing kinds of Turkish tobacco. I found, to my amazement, that I knew the perfumed Turkish cigarettes lose their national characteristics coming over land and sea to Boston, and that a Richmond cigarette is more grate ful (vicariously) to my nostrils, , I can smell this moment the peculiar peanut nuttiness of an old clay pipe and the almond nuttiness of a new Henry Clay cigar, and I can recall to a whiff the experimental odor of a corncob brimming with rank plug. Yet I never smoked but once in my life. Then I choked on burning mul lein leaves recommended for a cold f It ia one of the ' results of the open ing of modern occupations for wom en that I have become so learned ia this way. . I don't know yet whether or not I am proud of my wisdom, but it is certain that I have no vicarious amusement more charmingly altru istic than smoking. A Woman in Boston Transcript. Kabylbit'i Hanging Gardens. The hanging gardens of Babylon were terraces on columns. The gar dens were 400 feet square and ever 400 feet high. The ascent from ter race to terace was by flights of mar ble steps, and on the highest was a large reservoir. St. Louis Globe- Pemocrat, Drowned at the Cascades. Two accidents occurred at Cascades Monday, both of which terminated fa. tally. In the first case a man named Jasper Wilkinson, who was' employed by George Stevens in fishing above the rapids, in company with another man went down to Stevens' upper fish wheel, near the head of the rapids. They landed the boat at the head of the scow, as they had been accustomed to do, but the falling water had changed the current, and when the boat struck the scow it upset and was immediately drawn under the scow. One man held to the scow and was pulled out, but Wilkinson went under with the boat and iu a moment was swept out and down towards the rapids. He held on manfully, while parties on. shore vainly tried to throw ropes to him, but none of them would reach him. .When the boat struck the boiling whirls of the rapids it and Wilkinson, still clinging to it, were sucked down and seen no more. . Mr. Wilkinson was well known here, having worked for Mr. B.Warren last summer, and was in his em-vloy again this season when he was sent with others to the Cascades to trans fer berries across ' the portage for the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union. His parents live a short distance above Cascades; . he was well known - and liked by all who knew him, being a frank, honest, industrious young man. In the other case, the particulars are somewhat meagre. All we could learn Wits that a man fell off a scow below the rapids and was drowned. -ti. of T-u.137-1 Hood River Will Celebrate.

Fat stored in the body as adipose tis sue is a bank on which the body may draw for supplies of energy audi heat when required. It is stated that ia the Franco-German war of 1870 the Gorman emperor, acting on the strongly ex pressed opinion of Ebstein, that tausea lai fatigue could be best supported od fat, gave orders that each soldier should have srrved out to him 250 grams of fat bacon.
