Co., always alert to the welfare of their patrons, have de cided to discontinue the mixed passen ger and freight train leaving Portland in the morning, returning in the even ing, and substitute a regular passenger train which will run daily including Sundays: Leaving Portland 8:00 a.m., arriving Dalles 12:15 p.m., and return ing to Portland 6.30 p.m. About April 15th this train will carry an elegant observation car, and low rates for the round trip will be placed in eff'eet. The meetings of the Hood River Fruit Growers Union held last Satur day morning and that of the straw berry growers held in the afternoon made some change in the plans of all interested in the subject of marketing tliis year's crop. The strawberry grow ers organized by electing Hon. T. R. Coon president, H, F. Davidson secre tary, and Captain A. S. Blowers treas urer. Many of the fruit growers will fihip through the state union, the local manager of which will be appointed according to their recommendation. W7i miiluratanfl Afp ' VV. X Plrv tinu made arrangements to work for the I Oregon Fruit Union elsewhere. W. J. Baker is shipping his New town pippins to Portland and receiv ing $2 a box. We had a' look at his apples in the boxes while loaded on the wagon, and can say we believe they are worth every cent he gets for them. There is no better apple at this season of the year than the Yellow Newtown, and Mr. Baker's are of the best quality. This price makes some of us feel tired who sold our red apples (which the market is said to demand) tor a dollar a box, and that but a short while ago. While we are talking about the best apple for market, what's the matter, with- the Yellow Newtown? The market may demand red apples, but all who possess well-drained hill land, with a north slope, will do well to consider the Yellow Newtown when looking for an apple that will sell. ' Patrons of the Pottland and Dalles accommodation train, will be pleased to learn of the change made in the pas senger equipment. The O. R. & N. Co has replaced the former one combina tion car carried with a straight baggage car and an elegant lately remodeled first-class coach and smoker. This ar rangement virtually gives a day pas senger train between Portland and Dalles, leaving Portland at 8:00 a. m , arriving at Dalles 1:00 p. m., and re turning, leave Dalles at 2:00 p. m., ar riving at Portland 7:00 p. m. daily, ex cept Sunday The through passenger train still retains its old schedule, leav ing Portland at 7:00 p. in for the East and leaving Dalles at 4:00 p. m. for Portland. . - Supevisor Sloper has done some good work on the Harries' hill, by making turnouts and otherwise Improving the grade.

Spring is upon us, my friends Boon gardens we must begin to make; Then the weary "O my's" we'll grumble, And "Dear, how my back does achel" Aores of berries must be hoed, . All the trees scraped and sprayed, If fruit we wish to market , Of the very best flavor and gradot We're aware our valley is noted For what the world cannot produce, By the diplomas received lately; As to future failures, there's no excuse. Let all buckle on the armor And help to herald our fame, By each year excelling the past , ' Abroad let them hear our name. Such apples! yellow, rosy and red Shining as though varnished and glazed; No doubt the Columbian people Weie hungry as at them they gazed. Our strawberries are luscious, Indeed; In May on their nectar we'll dine Dainty colorings of flesh, pink and red, With cream and sugar richly combine. Garden's are all we could wish, Though pumpkins don't weigh half a ton, Nor potatoes one hill to the bushel, As some in the East have done. , If no failures our valley claimed, And we excelled in all that grows; If no winter we say we have, - When in March it freezes and snows. If green pastures waved the year round, '. . ' Cooling springs gurgled out everywhere; If three months during the summer the hills Never looked brown and bare; If no pests of any kind bothered, The east wind no damage done; No western gales ever funned us, ' . We felt no burning of the sun; , :. If we reveled In all the good things Mother Nature has to bestow; If lemons, oranges und bananas Like fern and sorrel would grow V;; An Eden then we would have, ' ' , . , " All nations would make this their choice; No room there would be for us then For the disadvantages let us rejoice.

I tried the so-called "Kee y Cure" "NoVro-Bac." and various other remedies, but without success, until I accidentally learned of your "Baco-Cnro." Three weeks ago today I commenced using your preparation, and today I consider myself completely cured. I am In perfec; health, and the horrible crav ine for tobacco, which every inveterate smoker fully appreciates, has eoinpletely left me.
