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

SUGAR-GO A TED DEMOCRACY.
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

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

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.

Fat in the Body.
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. It is Jso a well known fact
that fat animals bear privation of food

Directions for Mixing the Acme Compound.
Weigh out ten pounds of the Compound and put it in a barrel or large ket
tle; then pour on five gallons of boiling water gradually, until the mixture iof
the consistency of soft soap stirring it all the time. After1 it is thoroughly
dissolved add the balance of the water (forty-five gallons), hot or cold hot pre
ferred. Do not boil the mixture. It is then ready to apply, lie sure and
have your kettles or barrel clean (also your spraying tank) and free from other
mixtures, in order to avoid clogging your spraying nozzles. Do not spray when
the trees are moist. For Codlin Moth use No. 2, and spray immediately aftef
the blossoms drop, then again four weeks after, which will destroy all other In
sects that may appear. Apply by means of a spray pump or a florist's syringe.
