ing advertisement which always at
tracts. It gives more free advertise
ments and explanations of the place
than ail others. It never lets pass a
good opportunity to advoctte the in
terests of its borne enterprises. It
helps all of its churches and Bpeaks out
for its schools; resents all insinuations
jigainst the character of the citizens
and industries of the town, and lives

pay its untiring efforts it asks the sup
port of the people, not in a begging
manner, but us a recompense for its
labor. It is entitled to a livelihood,
because it gives move than it takes.

lion. T. S. Lang died at The Dalles
' Tuesday. Deceased was one of the
naost prominent citizens of Wasco
county for many years. He was re
ceiver of The Dalles land office under
Harrison's administration. At one
time he was prominent in politics in
the state of Maine, and as an independ
ent candidate for congress, almost de
feated the late James G. Blaine.
The Rural Northwest says the ex
periments carried on this season by
Kewton B. Pierce for the prevention
of the curl leaf of- the peach have
proved eminently successful, arid he
will soon issue a bulletin giving details
as to treatment, etc. For the black
spot disease in the- apple and other
fruit trees, Mr. Pierce's advice is to cut
out Iho affected spots and spray thor
oughly with Bordeaux mixture as soon
Ms the fruit is gathered.
' The secretary of the interior has re
voked his, order prohibiting sheep and
cattle from pasturing on the Cascade
reservation. It was understood that
one of the main reasons for asking for
this reservation was to keep out bands
of Sheep,-which are more destructive
to young forest growth than lumber
ing. If there ever was need of the res
rvation there is none now.
The price of wool keeps going up
nnd has reached 10 cents at The Dalles.
This is rough on protectionists who
have been preaching that free trade
in wool would ruin the industry of
wool growing on our public lands.
Yellow Newtown Pippin apples,
grown at Hood River, were still seen
in good condition in some of the Port
land grocery stores a few days ago, says
the. Rural Northwest.
According to t he census just taken,
the strawberry production of Multnor
mah county for the past year was 33,000

Tlio Commission Merchant.
Hood IUvek, June 14, 1895. Editor
Glacier: Diogenes, a' cynic philoso
pher, went through the streets of
Athens at midday carrying a lamp in
search, as he said, of one honest man.
Standing on the street, he cried out,
"Approach, all men." As the crowd
rushed up he beat them back with a
stick, saying, "I called for men ye are
, nothing but excrement." Hood River
fruit growers need an army like Diog
enes, to peer into the palaces of some
of our commission merchants to whom
we have been unfortunate enough to
consign our fruit. Every shipper
ought to publish an account of sales for
the benefit of the suffering public. Let
me turn on a little calcium light on
Salt Lake City to begin with: June 15,.
1804, I shipped 22 crates berries to Pen
dleton Commission Co.; June 19th, 15
crates to' same firm, making 37 crates.
Not one cent was ever returned. Juno
Iflth I shipped 23 crates of .berries and
3 erate3 of cherries to McCann, Potter
& Co. I have never heard from them
since. I supposed they had been lost
in the Hood; but it seems strange that
the 8 crates I shipped the same day,
June 19th, to Hughes Fruit and Pro
duce Co.-, were sold and a check for
$10.45 sent without any grumbling.
This year our berries went through in
first-clas.9 order and sold for good prices
when shipped to proper persons, bring
ing from $3 to $6 a crate.
May 27, 1895, Mcintosh and I shipped
(the first berries we had) 1 crates,
and May 29th, 2 crates, of berries, to
McCann, Potter & Co. After consid
erable delay in reporting, I wrote to
them and got the following returns:
1 crates berries sold for S2 00
2 crates berries sold for 2 90

Take $1.71 from $2.06, and we are

Hood River Strawberries Heard From.
Inasmuch as there hid beeu consid
erable conjecture s to whether the
berries would "stand up" after ship
ping in refrigerator cars, I started 3
crates, which were not specially pre
pared, in a Goodell refrigerator car to
Omaha to be reshipped to Canton, 111.,
which would take not less than 30
hours after being taken from the car
with two transfers all in a burning
hot climate. Much to my surprise
they arrived in fine condition, and my
mother, who has seen Hood River ber
ries in Hood River, says they were as
nice as if picked the day before, and
that not morel than half a dozen ber
ries in a crate were spoiled. New York
City and Washington,, D. C, . will
make fine markets for us, if we can
only raise enough berries.
II. F. Davidson.
Mb. Editor: To show the shipping
qualities of Hood River strawberries, I
shipped one-half a crate, grown by Mr.
W, J. Baker, to Dixmont, Pa. The
letter of acknowledgement says: "They
arrived at 7.30 this evening in perfect
condition.. Such berries were never be
fore seen in Dixmont. How I would
love to pick them from the vines."
They were shipped by express. Yours,
' . C. J. Haves.
Mr. W. A. Slingerland wrote upon a
box of his berries asking the consumer
to repl and state the condition m
which the fruit was received, price
paid, etc. Here is a letter from a mer
chant, written seven days after the fruit
was picked: -
"Atlantic,, Iowa, June 14, 1895.
W. A. Slingerland, Hood River, Ore
gon Dear Sir: In reply to your request
on box berries picked June 7th, will say
we received two cases yesterday one
case in good condition, the other one
is a little mouldy on top layer. Will
lose about one box in the case. They
are by far in best condition of any ber
ries we received this season. We paid
$3.25 per case in Omaha. Yours re
spectfully, . Levi Downs."
Council Proceedings.
The common council met o Monday
evening.
Morse moved that the council give
up its present quarters, as the council
was not iii a position to pay rent here
after as required by Mr. Rand. Motion
carried. .
The bills of S. F. Blythe, amounting
to $4.00 for printing ordinances, were
approved and ordered paid.
Committee on fire and water pre
sented a prepared ordinance, No. 12,
entitled "An Ordinance to Provide for
the Prevention of Fires, and the Pro
tection of Persons and Property En-
itlangered Thereby." The ordinance
was considered and ordered enrolled.
This ordinance is designed as a safe
guard against fires, and gives the com
mittee on fire and water power to re
move or repair defective chimneys and
smoke pipes.
Watt moved that the mayor be in
structed to appoint a superintendent
of streets, and that the appointee be
requested to fix the watering trough
on the road at the foot of Adams hill.
Carried.
The mayor ' appointed George T.
Prather superintendent of streets.
Adjourned.
Justice Court at Mosier. '
The case of the state against Wm.
Meeks was tried before Justice Harlan
and a jury at Mosier Saturday. Meeks
'was charged with stealing some lum
ber and hay, the property o' a man
named Baker. The evidence disclosed
the fact that Meeks and Baker had
each Hied n contest upon land1 near
Mosier. Baker had put up a small
house on it, but had not. followed uo
his contest Meeks moved into the
house, throwing out some hay .stored
therein, and also used some' lumber
left under the house. The Jury brought
in a verdict of guilty, and Meeks was
lined $25. Mountaineer.
Mr. M.' McDonald of Salem was in
town Wednesday in the interests of the
proper naming of fruits. He is very
desirous of having a good display of
Hood River apples ut the meeting of
the Oregon IS urserymen's Association
at Salem Oct. 21. .Specimens of all un
known or unnamed apples are espec
ially wanted. Particulars will be pub
lished later. .
A Trip to Wind River.
Wednesday, Mayor Wolfard
Postmaster Morse took
passage on im,
teen miies down the Columbia, to look
. . j . , ,
out a camping spot for the annual i - us -
ticating spell of their families. Arriv-
ing at the mouth of Wind river, they
went up the valley a distance of five
miles and found several good camping
locations and a good stream for fishing.
After eating a light lunch carried along
and prospecting the country far enough ,
they discovered that they would not
have too much time to return to the
Columbia and catch the Regulator on j 0r gypsy clover so common in Scotland,
its return trip. So they made haste j the yarrow and ciuquefoil, vetches and
to reach the river and got there just I J'dies no end of varieties. Purple as
. ... ., , , .... , ters and columbine, celandine and
in time to see uie ooat puumig uiong
close to shore a short distance down tiie
river. While congratulating them-
selves on their good luck in arriving in
the nick of time they noticed the boat
, ,. ., J , ,
heading for the Oregon snore, where it
proceeded and made a landing. They
were now on the beach, In full view
from the boat, and expected, of course,
the) boat would come and pick them up.
But the steamer pulled out and passed
on up the river, leaving them oh the
beach yelling and waving their hand
kerchiefs to no purpose. 'JiVhile in a
quandary how to proceed, they noticed
Day Bros.' steam launch come up the
river and make a landing on the Wash
ington side, about five miles below.
They started for the launch, but found
climbing and descending the rugged
bluff's along the river a hard road to
travel. After wearing out his shoes
and blistering his feet, his honor the
mayor gave out, but our P. M. pushed
on and reached the launch as. it was
about to push out for Cascade Locks.
Morse gave the "Oriental" sign of dis
tress, which was recognized by the en
gineer, who then waited for Wolfard to
come along. Arriving at the Locks,
the party had money enough with !
them to buy a good supper, which
braced them up and gave them courage
to stand oli' the ticket agent for their
fare to Hood River on the 10 p.m. train.
Prepariiig for the Jlaziimas. . l !
t ; . ..e ui
Mazamas, drove Brook .White, secre-
lary of the society, over to Mb Adams
Tuesday to look over the grouird and
and
make preliminary arrangements for
the outing. They were accompanied
by Mr. Marquam of Portland and
Messrs Williamsaud Ferguson of Hood
River. ,.
They found that there is a good road
from White Salmon as far as Trout
Lake, but no attempt has been made
to extend it beyond that 'point. On
their return from a rcojinoisance of the
mountain they arranged to have a
stage line put on between White Sal
mon and Trout Lake connecting there
with a pack train, which will carry pas
sengers and theireamp equipage up to
the camping ground on the mount
ain at a round trip rate from Portland
or Whits Salmon.
Prof. Davidson of the U. S. coast
geodetic survey, who lias taken great
interest in the hiliogrdpbic work which
thesociely has undertaken, states the
height of Mt. Adams to be 10,000 feet,
nearly as high as Mt. Hood, while in
built it is Innntely greater There is
no great difficulty in the way of ascent
but any successful climber wil be fully
qualified to become a Mazama.
Tiie Sirawberry Crop.
The following number ofcrat.es were
shipped since June 13th by the Hood
River Fruit Grower's ' Union: June
14th, 71; 15lh, 130; 10th 24; 17tb, 151;
18th, 61, 10th, 100J; L'Oth, 51 crates of
strawberries and 12 boxes of. cherries.
On June 20th, the returns on a car
load sent to Omaha on June 7th, were
received, amounting- to $1074.05 net.
Prices are now weakening an account
of other fruit coming into market. The
berries are now being sent to Montana.
Hon. T. R. Coon is expected home
Monday from Omaha.
. Chinese in Mitchell.
Mitchell Monitor; :.
There was a Chinaman in Mitchell
last Tuesday night. He came liere-to
work, having been hired by a man on
West Branch for. the coming summer.
Of course the reason for his getting
work when a white man could not is
on account of the low wages he is will
ing to work for. But we doubt very
much if his employer will gain any
thing by the transaction. Chinese arc
not wanted in Mitchell. We have, no
earthly use for them here, and the
sooner the fact is forcibly impressed on
their minds the better for this country.
"The almond-eyed celestial" is the
curse of the Pacific coast. He is a fes
tering sore that is slowly but surely
sapping the life blood of the laboring
class in this country. Hundreds of
idle men on this coast attest this fact.
Their places are fiiled with Chinese,
who have no interests in this country,
who pay no taxes. and who spend but
little money here. They do not help
improve the land, their children aie
not taught our language, nor do they
conform to our customs. Consequently
they are a detriment to whatever land
they live m, and should be forcibly
ejected. The one in our midst is but
the thin end of the wedge. If he is al
lowed to remain here, others will come,
and soon the country will be full of
them, and white men, who would help
build up the country and make it
thrive, will have to seek more conge
nial climes. . The Chinamen do more
harm to. a country than a drouth or
pestilence, because in driving out the
white laboring man they break the
backbone of the country. And the
man who will hire a Chinaman, know
ing the facts and what intelligent man
does not is working against' the best
interests of the country, and therefore
against himself, and ail to save two or
I three dollars a month. The origin of
nmllthe evil lies with the employers, and
. , f th hoitiv off t,h Pmifi. it
will be.
