7 5ood Jiver Slacier. SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1804. The welcome sound of the locomo tive whistle la heard again at Hood Rlrer after a silence of 67 days. Trains are now running on time and carrying the mails, and business is re sumed along the lines of the O. It. & N. Co.. The great flood of '04 is a thing f the past, and may we never see Its like "again. " The president has appointed John D. Kernan of New York and Nicholas E. Wortbington of Peoria, 111., to act with Labor Commissioner Wright in the rnmission to investigate the Chicago strike. Mr. Kernan is a son of ex-U.S. Senator Kernan. He has been a par ticular and thorough student of labor questions and has written several im portant contributions to the literature , on this subject. Mr. Worthington is now a judge of the Illinois circuit court. The tide of travel of Portland people nd others pouring through this place nowadays on the way to the moun tains at the head of the valley is noth ing to what it will be when all these people return to their homes and tell of the attractions, of Hood ltiver as a summer resort. Ourscenery, the fishing, the easy ascent of Mt. Hood from the sool retreats near by, the wonders of a day on the mountain, all invite the tourist, and some day our viiitors will - number more than we can provide for in the way of food. ' In a trip through the valley it is very noticable that where orchard trees are properly cared for by cultivation or ir rigation they are in thrifty condition, while those that are neglected show their lack of care at once. The advice of the Glacier has been, and still is, Plant apple trees; twenty acres if you can, one tree If that is your limit, but plant at every, opportunity j and' we might add, never plant a tree unless you know you cn take care of it. There is big money In apples in Hood River valley for those who have plant ed orchards and are caring for them as they should be cared for; but to plant an orchard and neglect it, the result would be about the samo as if you started a store of any kind and expect ed the business to run itself. . ' The Conference on the Tariff Bill.' ' A Washington dispatch of the 31st ' says: The prospects of an aggreement on the tariff were much improved to day. For the first time in many days the house democratic conferees, came ; from the meeting with the stateimnt that the previous irreconcilable differ ences were in progress of amicable ad justment. With much satisfaction the house members stated , to their associates that the senators had shown a disposition for the first lliue to meet the house half way. ' As to when a full aggreement would be perfected, there was some differences of opinion. One house conferree said it would probably be this week. Another thought ' it would be "soon." Chairman , Wilson would not even admit the uuderstand- ' ing had gone far enough to warrant the prediction of a speedy report. He said, however, that the conferrees had at ' least done business and made progress - today which was more than could have been said of past meetings. The sen ate eobferrees came from the meeting without showing the hopefulness of the bouse members. They said ' the , "conference was as far from decision as it had been. , While there was this conflict among those thoroughly in formed of the inside workings cf the conference, the general belief prevailed that the hopefulness of the house con ferree had some substantial foundation. One conferree said that while no agreement had been made on iron, coal and sugar, yet sufficient had been , developed In conference to show that an agreement could be reached on these three most Important items, which would be acceptable to the sen ate and house conferrees and to the house of representatives. Whether It Vould be acceptable to the full senate, this conferree expressed some doubt. " In this connection it developed today that Senator Caffery, of, Louisiana, who has been most active on the sugar question, had a long, and it is con sidered satisfactory, conference yester day with Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson. " While the house conferrees were so pleased at the bright outlook, their senatorial colleagues consented with saying that while they were hope ful of reaching an understanding, noth ing has transpired in . conference to base this hope upon. They declare that on the essential items of disagree- ,. mentthe members of the conference fareaB far apart as they ever were. -' ' ,A Increased hopefulness that a bill ' will be agreed upon is noticable how ever, upon the part of. the democratic senators, who are not members of the conference. One of the leading con servative senators said, as he was leav ing the senate chamber tonight, that the tariff bill would finally be agreed upon by next Monday, a ad he added tljat the bill would virtually be the senate bill. The day developed the possibility of a report of partial agree ment, and while this report at first ap- ' peared as a vague rumor, its probability "' was afterwards confirmed by senators . not members of the conference com mittee. The fact that the conferrees had the schedules other than those re lating to sujrar, coal and Iron ore under consideration today is one fact in con firmation of the report. Washington, Aug.. It was stated by one of the senate conferrees tonight that there was a possibility. of reaching an agreement on the tariff bill about the end of the week, with a probability that the bill as finally agreed to would be a compromise, for both the house and seriate members feel that conces sions will have to be made. Washington, Aug. 2. The demo cratic conferrees did not make as much progress today as they had hoped for when they went into session. Members of the conference say the good feeling still exists after today's meeting, and that there Is some reason for the belief that an ultimate, amicable settlement will be reached, and that tomorrow or the next day may see the end of their deliberations. Chairman Wilson and his associates express satisfaction with the progress being made. Mr. Wilson said that even if an agreement were reached it could not be prepared in time to report it this week. Today's session was commenced at 10 and con tinued until 1:3b. 'Another meeting was held this afternoon." ''.'" ALL SORTS. Wool sold in The Dalles lost week at 9 cents. . ' ' ..'

Wel come. ' .'. ". . . ' ..- ', . . The encouraging news comes from Hood River that there will be an im mense crop of fine apples, which if they can be saved and marketed, will make up for the great loss sustained for want of transportation by the berry growers of that place. The apple crop can he saved and marketed, and what is more should be saved. The Farmer sincere ly hopes that the progressive fruit growers of the valley will see to it that not an apple In the valley is allowed to rot on the ground. Remember the counsel we have been giving for the past three years to dry every apple that will not make a long keeper. . itemem ber, of all the dried fruits that are standard in the markets of the North west, the dried apple is now most in demand, and that the Oregon dried apple is not to be found without a most diiigent search. Hood River excels in apples as well as strawberries. Pacific Farmer. , Letter List. . v .' , The following is u list of the letters remaining unclaimed in this office August 1, 1894.

The spring diet, on the other hand, should be laxative, and nature provides delicious fruits, vege tables and meats. . . - In all cases there are habits, and in many idiosyncrasies of the stomach which are the best guides in- the selec tion of foods. For instance, it is gen erally believed .that the proper place for a fruit course is at the end of a meal, when the wine, sugar, acids and salts lend valuable assistance to the di gestive organs. - Juicy fruits, eaten raw, that are unspoiled by sugar, cream or pastry,' act like an apperrent. People who live to eat and have in mind the welfare of the stomach, pay as much attention to the dinner fruit as they do to any other course. Says an epicurean on the subject: The sick will be well and the well will be beautiful when the fruit season is properly understood. Fruit should be eaten last; sent down the canal on top of the freight to hasten its distribution. If, however, it has been the habit to eat fruit first, that habit cannot be changed without mischief. Let well enough alone. a' . The banana it a splendid fruit where it belongs. For the North American it is one of the worst articles of con sumption. Importations of green foods are not as attractive as they appear. Fruit freight travels slowly. To re duce the risks taken in handling these perishable goods, . they are packed green. Bananas and tomatoes are put in a sealed room heated by kerosene lamps or gas, which inexpensive heat brings out a rich color, but the perfec tion the wine pulp and flavor is loBt. Instead of being juicy the banana is pasty and indigestible. The berries brought in refrigerators are better. - Oranges and lemons are good trav elers, but the apples, pears, pineapples and peaches lose in the trip. Try and get supplies near home. Grapes, oranges and grapefruits are so good, because of their acid, wine and sugar, that it is difficult to compare them. Strawberries and fresh figs are worth their weight in gold. There is a syrup in the juices of great medicinal value. Figs are grown successfully in the south and they are well worth the trav eler's attention, being too perishable for transportation. Raw, ripe cherries are cheap at any price, and so are sound oranges. A fine orange full of wine Is heavy; Weight is a test of fruit. For the system set againts fruit, aspar agus, lettuce, cauliflower, beets, arti chokes, green peas and well strung beans are good. There are properties in the asparagus that are unsurpassed, stimulating rather than nourishing the tissues. The water in which asparagus is cooked is one of the best washes for the face and neck. It was used by the beau'ies of antiquity, and is now 'being resorted to by the English and French ladies. Used after the bath, it will make the skin fine, soft and clean. Only the heart of lettuce is worth eating. The outer dark green leaves merely tax the digestion with so much superfluous matter N. Y. World. A Keliglons Fraud. A dispatch from Fra n kford, Del aware, says; It bns just been brought to light that the burning in this place on Julv 18th of the Church of the Sanctified People, a new religious sect, composed of ignorant and superstitious persons, was the act of an incendiary. The Sanctified People were first heard of on ChincoteagUe Island, when Jo seph Barnard Lynch made - the an nouncement Vhat he had received from a spirit in a dream certain rules for the church, to be called the Church of the Sanctified People. He said the angel had also given him power to walk on the water, just the same as Jesus Christ did.. 'V ' Lynch secured 'the. confidence of about 100 ignorant colored and white people and held services on an island. He celebrated feasts, and at each of these he gave an exhibition of walking on the sea. . Some people on the island did not believe In Lynch and prepared to make an investigation of his sea walking act. They found that he had a board walk laid about six inches un der water and extending into the water about 150 feet. : ..... About a ' month ago Lynch an nounced that he would walk on the sea. This was a chance for the non believers and they tore up some of the boards midway on the walk, and on the day of the walking gathered on the beach to await developments. Lynch appeared on the beach and after per forming some antics started on his walk, but suddenly found - himseit struggling in over six feet of water. Some of his congregation started to his rescue, but the non-believers would not allow them to- euter the water. Oth ers who knew of the board w. Ik, ti re up the rest of the timbers, thus expos ing Lynch to the crowd. Lynch managed to crawl from .the water, but was immediately pounced upon by the crowd and severely beaten. After leaving the island Lynch came to Frankford, where he gathered to gether about fifty followers and built a small frame church. This was burned by the citizens to drive Lynch out. WATER NOTICE.

Weigh out ten pounds of the Compound and put it in a barrel or larere ket tle; then pour on five gallons of boiling water gradually, until the mixture is of the consistency of soft soap stirring it all the time. After it is thoroughly dissolved add the balance of the water (forty-flve gallons), hot or cold hot pre ferred. Do not boil the mixture. It is then ready to apply. Ef Besure and have your kettles or barrel clean (also your spraying tatik) 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 after 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. ' .'.V.-Testimonials. Coralitos, Cal., March 26, 1894.
