fcod iiver Slacier. SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1S05. In the clays before the war, in the limes of the "dollar of our daddies," When a man was paid for his labor, or for any commodity, he did not know what his money was worth half the time. Nowadays, a twenty-dollar greenback, a national bank note, a sil ver eerii flea te, or even twenty dollars Sn silver, is as good as a twenty-dollar gold piece. We may not have the best monetary system that could be de vised, but we now have the best we ever had . The "dollar of our daddies" was u ncarce article. The writer grew to manhood before the war and. never saw a United States silver dollar till, to the best of his recollection, about the time the "crime of '73" was committed ly Senator Stewart and his friends in congress. In the years just preceding the war, we remember t hat labor was paid in bank notes of fluctuating value, mid the only silver in circulation was in five-cent pieces, dimes, quarters and half dollars, to make change. The subsidiary coins were about one-half Spanish pieces, and along with the Mexican dollar,, passed at a discount of 20 per cent. Can the free coinage of silver by the United States alone give us a better system than we have now, or one as good? Whenever convinced that it wi'l wo will be in favor of the free coinage of silver. Under the pres ent system, the rich man's money is no better than the poor man's money. Under free coinage, the ' rich man's gold would still be in his possession, nd the poor man, if silver money de preciated, and no one doubts but it would, would be paid in silver the "poor man's money." - ; Hon. A. J. Pufur died at his home Jn Dufur, June 6, 1895, aged 80 years. Deceased was one of the best known nd most prominent citizens of the state. He was born in Vermont in 1815, emigrated to Wisconsin in 1855, and in 1857 was elected to the legisla ture of that state. In 1859 lie came to Oregon. For many years be lived near Portland; he took an active Interest in public affairs, and in 1862 was elected to the legislature from Multnomah tounty. In 1876 he was selected as state commissioner to the Centennial (L'xhlbMou. In 1872, he removed with his family to Wasco county and found ed the town yof Dufur." .-Mr.., Dufur was a practical farmer, and wa3 good Authority on all questions pertaining to agriculture and stock raising. In 1872 lie was agricultural editor of the Port land Bulletin, the leading paper of the state at that time. In politics, Mr. Dufur was a democrat. The Jijjfh prices which are now being realized for our berries is largely the re sult of having a, Hood River man in the markets looking after our interests. It does not seem to be altogether satis factory to commission men, but we are After good prices for our fruit now. The vast d.ti'erencc in the demand for our fruit tliis season over former years ia an evidence of the good reputation our fruit has made in the several markets. Ten : .times, the quantity could have been sold at about the same price, and better facilities-and rates for shipping could have been obtained had the yield been greater; and more interest would have been taken by dealers, and better l-esults obtained generally. The man with half an acre is a thing of the past, And future strawberry fields in Hood River will be of the twenty-acre pat tern. A bank is among the necessities of business at Hood River. It would be a great convenience during our ship ping season to have a banking institu tion located here. Capital 'will also be required to carry our land owners through the season of planting and caring for the strawberry crop. And there is no better investment for capital than in our strawberry lands. No other crop will make such sure and quick returns. , ; , : There seems to be money in the country when we have something to eell. If our fruit growers had doubled their acreage Ul strawberries last year, as they should have done, there would be more money coming this way. Let lis go to work to increase our yield of winter apples and strawberries, and the financial question will settle itself to our satisfaction. The Glacieb has received from Btate Printer Leeds a copy of the Gen eral Laws, Resolutions and Memorials enacted at the last session of the legis lature. A note on the back of the title page, signed Vy W. H. Leeds, state printer, containes the following: "This volume contains all of the general laws and joint resolutions and memorials adopted by the legislative assembly of Oregon at its eighteenth biennial ses sion. It is published by the state printer at bis own expense, and is pre sented to 0U with hfs compliments." AH of which is appreciated by us. ; Had Reasons Sufficient. Hood River, Or., June 12, 1895. Editor Glacier: Being aware of the fact that the J. F. Kelly Co. of Butte has issued a circular to the people of Hood Rivgr condemning our efforts to secure them fair prices for bur berries, ..wish to soy to those who are inter ested in the matter that I have the ; reasons for discontinuing shipments to Mr. Kelly in the office, which are open to the inspection of our ' patrons, and, hope that no person will consign goods to him without first learning the facts in the case.. Kelly is sufficiently re sponsible to pay for goods which are bought at a price, but our experience is that he is not working to make money for those who ship to be &old on commission.- He had matter arranged nicely, but it did not last long enough, and he is mad now. H. F. Davidson. Name It And Toko It. Hard Scrabble, June 12. Editor Glacier: I would like to hear from some of my neighbors and let them name some wheat I, am growing. I bought some ..Seed wheat of Mr. Blowers, called blue stem, and it is a good kind for hay. It is five feet high and still growing. I also bought some seed of Mr. Jackson, which he called blue stem, but I don't believe it is blue stem, unless there is two kinds. It is from .three to four inches high and headed out. The heads are about three-fourths of an inch long; the stem is fine, from a thread to a kpitting needle in thickness. I am glad I did not plant it close to the barn, for the chickens would have got knee-sprunir reaching down for the heads. If I can get a barrel of soft soap I will lather it and shave it, so I can get enough to fill a tick for the baby's crib. It will beat feathers. This wheat grows so close to the ground the digger squirrels have to dig holes to sit in while they reach down for the heads. If any one can name it I would be pleased to hear from him. ; ' Joseph Purser. Council Proceedings. The common council met at the council chambers on June 11th, at 8 o'clock p. m. Present, Mayor Wolfard, Aldermen Button, Hartley, Morse, Rand and Watt; Recorder Heald and Marshal Olinger. . Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The petition of A. S. Blowers and 49 others was read and orderded filed. The finance committee reported ap proving the bill of Robt. Rand for $15 rent for April, May and June. The same was allowed and ordered paid. Report was made by Morse for the council as committee of the whole, in regard to its action with Mr. Blowers concerning-the leasing of the 'water works, to the effect that a majority had reached an agreement with Mr. Blowers, but that he had taken such action on his part as would probably terminate any further consideration of the proposition. . On motion of Watt, the report was accepted and "the com mittee discharged. . - Enrolled ordinance number eleven was read. Watt moved that it be passed, sec tions 1 to 9 inclusive; seconded. Morse moved to amend by insert ing after the words, "Hood River," in line 4, section l,the words, "during the months of December, January, Feb ruary and March, or between the hours of 8 o'clock p.m. to 6 o'clock a.m. during the remainder of the year," and by striking out the wonts, "or shall permit or allow the same to be herded upon any of the streets or roads of Hood River," from section 1. -.- Watt moved to amend the amend ment by inserting after the words, "Hood River," in line 5 of section 1, the words, "Provided, however, that any person or persons who shall reside and keep a cow giving milk within the corporate limits of Hood River, taay permit such cow to run at large between the hours of 6 a. m. and 8 p. m. of each day during the months of May, June, October and November of each year, without being liable to the pro visions of this ordinance." Both motions to amend were lost. Bartmess appeared and asked to be excused on account . of business; granted. ., , Watt then moved to amend section 1 to confirm with the petition of A. S. Blowers and others, so as to permit milk cows to run at large between the 1st of April to the 1st of December from 6. a. m. until 8 p. m.; motion lost. Question being called, ordinance ncmber 11, as enrolled, was put to a vote, and passed as follows: ; -Yeas Watt, Button and Rand; nays Morse and Hartley. - The reports of the treasurer and re corder were presented and ordered filed. : Hartley, urgued that some action should be taken for protection against fire from defective chimneys and other exposures. The matter was referred to committee on fire and water to pre pare an ordnance. ' Morse called attention to the fact that there was no provision . for a dog pound. ' ' . " ' Watt moved to adjourn till Monday, June 17th at the regular hour; carried. Odell School House Items. Written by the Pupils. Mr. L. D. Boyd has moved on his farm bought of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Harry Silliman cut his foot very badly with an ax. . - Mr. Kern) is down with the grip and is not able to work. Dr. Brnsiiis was in attendance at tbe meeting of the Oregon Medical Society at Portland dm Injf the week, "Hood River Strawberries." "Hood River strawberries" are sell ing in Portland six boxes for a quarter. Here at home they are riot sold for less than 5 cents a box.: Another strange thing about their selling so cheap in Portland is that not a box of Hood River berries has been shipped west from here since the Mt. Tabor berries were ripe enough to pick in quantities for market. A dealer in Cascade Locks wrote to Wm. Tillitt that he could get all the Hood River berries he wanted at $1 a crate. No berries are being shipped from here to Cascade Locks. A lady from Hood River stopping in Portland asked her grocer if he had Hood River berries. He said he had, and pointed out some marked "Hood River Strawberries." The lady said they didn't look much like Hood Rivet berries, and asked the grower's name; but the dealer bad forgotten it. 'I he fact is our berries are selling in Omaha by the car-load for more than enough to net the growers 5 cents a box. ' 1 he reputation of Hood River berries is not helped by dealers marking inferior ber ries as coming from here, and some day an example might be made of some of them for obtaining money under false pretenses. . ' .The Strawberry Crop.. J, '.' ' Strawberries ' shipped from Hood River in refrigerator cars are arriving iu Omaha , in excellent condition. Twelve full carloads have been ' ship ped, besides those sent by express. The last carload left for Omaha on tbe 13th. The bulk of berries were Shipped . dur ing. tbe week to Omaha. The demahd for our berries in the East is increasing; every day brings inquiries for them from Kansas City, St. Paul and Sioux City. Tbe markets have kept up much better than was expected at the be ginning of the season. Prices range from $3 to $3.50 per cratt. v ; Hon. T. R. Coon is now in Omaha. Wednesday he reshipped ' berries to Sioux City and they arrived Thursday in fine condition. Sample shipments will be sent to Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis and possibly to Chicago, to secure markets for future seasons. The Hood River Fruit Growers' Union has shipped the following num ber of crates since last report: June 7th 2931; June 8th, 142; June 9tn, 129; June 10th, 48; June 11th, 397; June 12th, 324J; June 13th, 215.' Send in Your Address. Mr. E. Schanno, our district com missioner of the board of horticulture, is desirous of obtaining as complete a list of our fruit growers as possible, with approximately the number, of trees set by each man. It will be to tbe material advantage of each fruit grower to have his name and address on this list, that lie may receive ;'the communications and bulletins of the board and doubtless in many other ways. Names should be left at once with H. C. Bateham, assistant com missioner, or H. F. Davidson, secre tary Hood River Fruit Growers' Union. Riverside lodge, A. O. U.
