Captain Blowers and Ed Williams made a trip to the Cascades Monday and succeeded in having their freight transferred; Captain Blowers going after sugar and Mr. Williams for cigars. The excursioir to the Cascades last Wednesday was well attended and en joyed by ail. From the number of fish brought home one would think that they had beeu fairly successful iu that line. A. J. Borie, superintendent of the Union Pacific, was here Tuesday, mak ing the trip from the Locks overland. Mr. Borie thinks the road can lie re paired between here and Portland in a couple of weeks. It is expected that Cloud Cap Inn will be open'by the first of July. Doug Langille went out Thursday afternoon to plow snow so it will melt out of the road.

Potatoes will be an unprecedented crop. Uorii is growing last ana nay ing has begun: and as we now have ! plenty of sugar people are not looking I quite so sour as they did. Messrs. Henry Hibbard and N. C. Evans went to Celilo to look after the transfer of the berries at that point last Friday. They returned in a small boat from The Dalles, Saturday evening, and had to stop at Mosier several hours on account of the wind. Complaint is being made that the bands of Indian ponies turned loose upon us are using up all the pasturage. About 200 were counted one day hist week, wliica is about one apiece for every Indian. Notwithstanding two and three ure often seen on one, horse. Strawberries are being utilized in several diU'orent ways. More have been canned tbau ever heard of before to the exclusion of other fruits which it is hoped will find better sale. Quantities ure being dried; syrup is being made of some uud wine of others and still many are going to waste.Oh for a cannery ! Mrs. William Rand gave a tea party, Lst Saturday evening, in honor of Miss Alma Leltoy of LaUrande, who is vis iting Mrs. Rand. Those present were: The Misses Alice Cleaver, Cora Oopple, Ida Foss, and Messrs. Ed Williams, Claude Copple, William Mercer and P. C. McGuire. The party spent a very pleasant evening together, after taking a drive through the valley. Mr. W. P. Watson showed us a box of berries raised by him from a seedling, which he has named the Watson's Tri umph. Eighteen berries weighed thir teen ounces, and the largest one meas ured eight and one-half inches in cii cumfereuce. Should they prove to have the shipping qualities of Hood River's pride, the Clark seedling, they will prove invaluable. . Last week two crates of berries were shipped by the Fruit Growers' Union to The Dalles and thence to Prineville to Mr. I. Sichel: Mr. Parrish, who de livered the berries, reports them as ar riving In tine condition after a trip of 130 miles, occupying two days, in a stuge. . The berries looked,, said Mr. Sichel, "like they had just been picked, und certainly were the finest ever seen in Prineville." The present season has shown the necessity of a canning establishment at Hood River, and before it is over will, we think, demonstrate the need of one at The Dalles. Every year the fruit industry increases in importance, and the cannery becomes the more neces sary to save the surplus products. With such an institution in Hood River this year, thousands of dollars would have been saved to the berrv growers, and other thousands made by the cannery. Chronicle. . We received a letter from. Thomas McKay, sr., Tuesday. Mr. McKay is now located at Anaconda, Montana, and is road master for the Butte, Ana conda und Pacific railway company at that point; his family remaining in Port Townsend. The following item, fin Wished in the Inlcr-Moutanian, was nclosed: "Hood River strawberries ap- Fieared oil the market yesterday big, uscious berries. They came ia the Union Pacific from Spokane." From this It will be seen that Portland com mission men found a way to reach the Montana market with our berries. The first shipments were made east from here on the 15th, and Mr. McKay's letter was dated the 13th. BORN. Thursday, June 14, 1854, to Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Davidson, a daughter. , Little Johnnie's Treasures. .

Rowe is in jail at The Dalles and is really more to he pitied than anything else. His is simply a case of bad company. He was led into some petty offenses, and ashamed to confesB, he drifted in deeper and deeper. He will be tried for burglary in breaking in Slays & Crowe's store, but public sympathy is with him and his family and his punishment will be light. Death of Hi A. Pratt. H. A. Pratt died Wednesday morn ing, at 10 o'clock, and was buried Thursday in Idlewilda cemetery; the Masonic order, of which he was a mem ber, taking charge of the funeral. De ceased had an attack of la grippe du ring the past winter, from which he never recovered. He was 56 years old, a native of Maine, and came to this coast in the early sixties. For many years he was in the employ of the O. It. & N. Co., as master mechanic, and set up the first locomotive used by that company on the portage read at the Cascades, probably the first used on the coast. About ten years ago he settled in this valley, on a farm, where his wife died about nine months ago. They left no children. A Qnarter Century-Test. For a quarter of a century Dr. King's New Discovery has been tested, and the millions who have received benefit from its use testify to its wonderful curative powers in all diseases of throats chest and lungs. A remedy that has stood the test so long and that has given so universal satisfaction, is no ex periment. Each bottle is positively guaranteed to give relief, or the money will be refunded. It is admitted to be the most reliable for coughs and colds Trial bottle free at the Hood River Pharmacy. Large size 50c. and $1. Hot Climates and Long Sightedness. People who have lived long in hot elimates like India become presby opic four or five yearn earlier than they would otherwise have done, for life in a hot climate naturally means excessive; wear and tear to a Eu ropean. The ordinary age for the adoption of Kpectacles for reading used to be 50, while it is npyr nearer 43, - New York Tribune. Cum of Insomnia. Now, it happens in this stirring age of ours that men, and women, too, are so much intellectually worked or so emotionally disturbed that their brains have more to do than they can accomplish and yet preserve their normal balance. Mental work, whether it be simply perceptional, intellectual, emotional or volitional, ' requires that an in creased amount of blood shall flow to the brain; hence during mental exertion of any kind the cerebral vessels become distended, owing to the increased volume of blood they contain, and they remain in this con dition as long as the exertion is con tinued. If it is too intense, or if it be persevered in for too long a period without there being alternations of rest, the vessels lose their contracti bility and remain in a permanently enlarged state. They are therefore not able to contract so as to produce sleep. A state of cerebral congestion is established, and wakefulness is the result. Such persons go to bed, perhaps feeling as if they would sleep, but no sooner do their heads touch their pil lows than their minds become inordi nately active, and they lie awake hour after hour recalling the events of the day, or else indulging in the most preposterous thoughts. The blood vessels will not empty themselves, simply because they have lost the power to do so. They are like the in dia rubber bands that we put around big packages and leave undisturbed for a long time. We try to use them again, and we find that the elasticity which they once possessed has gone. Dr. Hammond in North American Review. Plnnt Forms Seen In Coal. The substance of coal has been so compressed that the f orms of the plants composing it cannot usually be seen, Jiut when a piece of it is made so thin , that it will transmit light and is then subjected to a pow erful microscope its vegetable struc ture may readily be distinguished. Immediately under every separate seam of coal there is a stratum of what is known as fireclay. . This stratum is always present and con tains in great abundance the fossil impressions of roots and stems and twigs, showing that it was once the soil from which vegetation grew lux uriantly. It is common also to find fossil tree 3tems lying mashed flat between the layers of black slate which form the roofs of coal mines as well as the impressions of the leaves, nuts and seeds which fell from these trees while they were living. In some beds of canne'i coal whole trees have been found with roots, , branches, I leaves an d seeds complete, and all converted into the same quality of coal as that by which they were sur rounded. Washington Star. " The K'ugiiactoitB Anglo-Saxon. Men of pence ! No, we are nothing of the sort. The modern Anglo-Saxon is a fighter, as his savage ancestors were. He goes into war with a zesr as keen as any other nation's and a pluck which is -or at least he thinks it is a little better than any. Be tween his wars he fights the lesser battles of the football field, the pugil istic ring, the baseball diamond or looks on and shouts approval while others fight. His boys learn to dou ble their fists almost as soon as to walk.- Their favorite Bible stories are of David's fight with the Philis tine giant and the muscular exploits of Samson. They go to school to be taught to venerate the classic deeds of the fleet footed Achilles and the masterful Herakles, and to regard as the modern successor of those an cient heroes the youth who among his schoolmates has the quickest eye and the most powerful biceps. How can we ever forget that " 'tis excel lent to have a giant's strength" when we are reminded of the truth of the adage at almost every turn of our daily lives? R. R. Williams in Mun Bey's. - A Liar With Big Fish. " Dear ! dear '." exclaimed George H. Pegram to a covey of railroad birds In the St. James, "how many liars there are in the world anyhow. Every small and large town has its star liar, and my old town had ono. My old town was Chatham, Mass. There was, when I was a boy, an old fellow of the name of George San ders, who wore without an effort the Bilver star of champion long distance liar for the town and neighboring vicinity. This fellow had been, ac cording to himself, lost 50 times in great ocean wrecks. He had wan dered naked and starving up and down cannibal islands and been res cued in a most providential manner. Sharks and whales had vainly har bored designs against his life, and in variably he had led them a bootless chase. In doing all this he had also established his star reputation. One day George came into the town drag ging after him an immense codfish. "He stopped at all the houses, he was so well known, and calling out the inhabitants pointed with pride to the fish and said: 'Now, if I had told you people I had caught a fish of that size you wouldn't have believed it.' George knew his reputation well, and he knew that to gain the actual credit for his catch that he would have to work for it. It always tickled me to think that the biggest liar in town should catch the biggest1 fish and then be compelled to drag it all around town to prove it," gt. Jjouis Glpbe-Democrafc Attention Paid to Walking. . It is enough to imagine the un feigned amazement of a dame of the old school if the proper position of tho feet in walking were made a matter of doubt. For years the dancing master's standard in all matters of carriage and walk has been an unquestioned one. The fin de siecle young woman, however, has a mind of her own. Sho has not found that tho conventional train ing of the dancing master, valuable as it undoubtedly is, was all suffi cient in producing that grace of car riage and elegance of manner so de sirable in the woman of the world. On the contrary, she has found that the physical training of the woman of tho stage has been moro often conducive to the desired end. Hence it is that schools of Delsarte have sprung up all over the land, and systems of physical training, in cluding boxing and fencing, hereto fore relegated to the sterner sex, have found patronesses in plenty. Chicago Tribune. Solomon's temple was 107 feet long, 30 feet broad and 54 feet high. Though deemed a wonder of the world, it was not larger than many private houses of the present time. A Gentleman Who formerly resided in Connecticut, but wiio now resides la Honolulu, writes: "For 20 years past, my wifa and 1 have used Ayer's . Hair Vigor, and wo attribute to it the dark liair which she and I now have, while hun dreds of our acquaint ances, ten or a dozen years yomigertlian we, are either gray-headed, white, or bald. When asked how our hair has retained its color and fullness, we reply, (By the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor nothing else.'" "In 186S, my affianced was nearly bald, and: the hair kept fall ing out every day. I induced her to use Aycr'g Hair Vigor, and very soon, It not only checked any further loss of hair, but produced an entirely new growth, which has remained luxuriant and glossy to this day.
