5food Iiver Slacier. '. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1S95. The new ditch has failed to material ize, so far. Securing right of way seems to be where the trouble comes in. It will be ea i indeed if this ditch falls through liy reason of property owners asking exorbitant prices for right of way through their lands. The land w ill be euhauced in price all over the valley if the ditch is built. Without thediU-h some of our lands will re main worthless except for pasturage during about four months of the year. The men who organized this ditch company are citizens of the valley. We all know fhein and know they have no money to throw away for right of way. They expected to pay for all damage to cultivated laud and other improve ments, buj never dreamed that any leroh would want damages where the ditch would benefit him. We know of a piece of land half a mile long and 44 rod wide, the owner of which gave the Hood River Valley Supply Co. right of way diagonally across the up per 20 acres and doiv n the length of It on one side. He now would like to give right of way for a ditch the whole length of the other side, and wouldn't abject to a ditch or two crossing through the middle. The valley needs this ir rigating ditch if it needs anything, but men will not undertake to build it if they have to spend all their means fighting for right of way. The elections, Tuesday, in the East gave the republicans increased major ities over last year and two years ago. Maryland and Kentucky elect repub lican governors and legislatures, which will elect republican senators in place of Gibson and Blackburn. .Utah elect ed republican state officers and legis lature, insuring two more republicans in the United States senate when con gress meets next month. Mississippi and Virginia were the only stages of the thirteen voting Tuesday that were carried by the democrats. In Ohio, where the issue was the tariff, Bush hell's majority is over 100,000. This settles the question as to who will lead the victorious republicans next year. McKinley is the coming man. v A mass meeting of the stockmen of Crook county was held at Prineville, October 26th, for the purpose of remon strating against the prohibition of ptock running or being herded upon the Cascade timber reserve. A com mittee was appointed to draft a peti tion to present to our representatives in congress in regard to the matter. The sheepmen are deeply interested in the opening of their reservation to their (locks, and will leave nothing un done towards the accomplishment of their purpose. Wouldn't it be in or der for tlume interested in keeping the nheep off Mt. Hood to be drafting and circulating petitions also? The Riddle Enterprise has removed to Myrtle Point, Coos county; the cit izens of that place having guaranteed the paper double the patronage It re ceived at Riddle. - Seattle has a debt of five millions and an interest charge of $750 a day. - Circuit court will convene Monday at The Dalles with quite a long docket.

From the standpoint of the Rural Northwest, the most interesting feat ure of the Portland exposition is the exhibit of fruits. ' Not only Is the col lection of fruits larger this year, than ever before, but it represents more dif ferent localities than heretofore, and therefore more fully represents the ca pabilities of different fruit growing dis tricts. . . ' Naturally, apples are far in the lead in the number of varieties and quan tity on exhibition. Hood River leads in the matter of apples by reason of the uniform high quality of the great num ber of varieties shown. This one dis play would be enough to give Oregon a leading position as a producer of ap ples of the highest grade, and yet from Jackson and Josephine counties, in the extreme southern portion of the state, and Malheur and Baker on the eastern boundary, come apples' which do not suffer in comparison with Hood River's beautiful fruit. The truth is that ap ples of the best grade can be grown in almost every portion of Oregon, but, Hood River seems to. be capable of growing to perfection a greater variety than almost any other section. The growers who contributed to the Hood River exhibit are: N. O. Evans, V. J. Baker. Wm. Slingerlaiid, Frank Chan dler, Henry Prigge, John Sweeney, John Lenz, C. E.. Markbam, William Davidson, J. VV. Counell, Peter Mohr and Christ Deth man. Although Hood River is in Wasco county, there is a separate Wasco coun ty exhibit of great beauty and merit, collected chiefly through the. labor of Emit Schanno, commissioner of the state board of horticulture. Mr.Schauno has made a display which does Wasco county credit and shows that the pro duction of first-class apples in Wasco county is not confined to the Hood River valley. Immediately adjoining the Hood River display is one which, though smaller, is so like it that it would be impossible to tell where one leaves off and the other begins if it were not for the notices. This is the White Salmon display from the orchards of J. P. Eagan, J. W. Overbaugh, H. 0. Cook, Theo. Suksdorff and the Jewett Nur series. The White Salmon district in Washington is separated : from the Hood River district in Oregon by the Columbia river only, and they grow the same kind of apples on both sides of the river. "A plate of Spitzenbergs in the White Salmon exhibit was no ticeable on-account of the extraordi narily deep color of the perfectly formed fruit. From the Oregonlan"; Nov. 8d. ' ' i Extending down the west gallery are the great tables of fruit from the Hood River valley, from the Willamette val ley, Linn, Josephine and Douglas counties. The display of fruit from Hood River consists of 222 plates, prin cipally apples, though quinces, peach es and pears, butternuts and walnuts are also shown. The fruit from Hood River has had some of the enthusiastic fruit growers of that section in constant attendance upon it, and as a result there is no section of the entire exposi tion that presents a more attractive ap pearance. The fruit that makes up this exhibit was collected principally by the Hon. E. L. Smith uf Hood River, in which he 'was assisted bv Messrs. Evans, Baker, Rand and Chan dler, ana me exhibit, came irom 14 dif ferent fruit growers of that section. There is no fruit show .in the world that has contained a greater variety of apples or more pertect in torm ana color than this exhibit from- Hood River, it is the most valuable exhibit in the exposition, and is extremely beneficial to all fruit growers in the Pacific Northwest. ' It shows what cultivation" and care, will do for the fruit trees in Oregon. Not an apple is specked, nor has a single apple a flaw in it. This exhibit demonstrates the perfection to which fruit can be made to attain, and many are the words of praise given it. ..... .-. . ... v ;t.- v Next to the display of fruit of Hood River valley is an exhibit of apples from Mount Hood.' ' There are 50 plates of apples exhibited, and all of the ap ples were grown next to the snow line, on the north slope of the mountain. The varieties in this exhibit are the King, Baldwin, Northern Spy, Snow, Hoover, Maiden' Blush, Jonathan, Waldwridge, Red Pearmain and Spitz enberg. About 100 feet of space is occupied by this beautiful exhibit. , Such size, such wonderful coloring, are a revelation, even to fruit growing sections of the United States. The orchard area of Hood River valley is being rapidly en larged, and in a few years solid train loads of her matchless apples and straw berries will be shipped to the less favored sections of the North and East. . At the present time a Portland gen tleman is trying to arrange for ship ments to Loudon, In fact, the market seems world wide for' just.such clean, fancy fruits as the up-to-date horticul turists of Hood River are producing. The Salvation Army Will Not Be Here. Hood River, Nov. 6, 1895. Editor Glacier: It may not be generally known that Bro. Fardo went to Port land to rouse up and bring to Hood River the .Salvation Army, as he said the orthodox parsons had all expressed an earnest desire to open their churches to anybody who could "save souls." Bro. Fardo getting no response to let ters he had sent to the "Salvation cap tain," concluded to go down and see what cog was loose in the Salvation machinery.- We miss his presence in our little family, where he was wont on the Sabbath to gather our family and several Portland visitors. He read the Bible, sang and prayed.. That part of the "wrrd of God" contained in Genesis, 38th chapter, was our morn ing lesson. That part of the "worship" got away with, a favorite stanza from the War Cry was devoutly sung: " The devil once had me, - When I climbed an apple tree; But I got away On a bright sunny day, He shan't get me no more, ' No more, no more, no more; If he does climb a tree, He won't catch me, he can't catch me, ., No more, no more, no more :-. Oh! Oh! Oh! no more." s - This beautiful stanza was probably suggested by the story we all read in Webster's spelling bcok sixty years ago: "An old man once found a rude boy up one of his apple trees stealing apples," etc.t etc. .: t The exercises were closed when the devout brother got on his knees and told the Deity just what he wanted Him to do a few things which he had Erobably forgotten in an extra rush of usiness in the palace royal of the uni verse. But here is Bro. Fardo's letter: "Oct 30th 1895. the salvation Army have not any Officers at presant to Send there is only one Where there aught.to be two at some of the Barrox the have been changing of late that accounts for sending no answer God bless you J Fardo 537 Columbia St Portland Or.", I hope no scoffer will criticise this letter because it is notexactly according to Webster. Webster was not an "in spired man." If he had been and full of the Holy Ghost he would no doubt have made a different dictionary. Bro. Fardo told me that.no Unitarian could go to heaven, as they believe in a God with only one head and had doubts about the orthodox God with three heads. This seems to be about the idea of. "inspired men" who wrote a long time ago. almost tremble to an nounce it,-for fear that some refined person, fond of good society, may con clude, if none but orthodox church members go to heaven, he may con clude to make his bed in hell. -- - . wf l: a." : Another tree peddler, from no one knows wbere, is canvassing the valley, soliciting orders fur trees. This is the sixtli one this season, to my knowl edge. Out of consideration to the long suffering ranchers I have refrained from canvassing this fall; but if you want to get trees with large caliber and whole roots, just call at Columbia Nur sery. - H.

We have an executive who hns a proper sense of dignity and a realization that the nation is greater than a state. So much benefit at least is to the credit of the last election, Chronicle. - Dalles real estate dealers tell us there is more inquiry from abroad regarding city property than there lias ueeq for years. This isevidencethat'EbeDallei! is looked upon abroad as the first city of the Inland Empire. When the locks are completed there will still be more call for city property by people who want investments that will pay more thau 10 per cent. Mountaineer.. Only a few . weeks ago the Hood River fair managers advertised, among other things, a baby show. This proved a very attractive feature of the fair, and it was announced that an other would be held next year. : We notice in today's Glacier the record of four births; and yet some people pre tend to think that advertising doesn't pay. Mountaineer.., , ; : . A Cabinet Crisis. . ' The French are a curious, an inter esting people. This week the ministry resigned, because they were accused of corruption. The thing worth com menting about is that they apparently resigned not because they were inno cent but because they were justly ac-, cused. We are not a nation of saints over here, but if a public man is caught stealing, he hardly makes a virtue of it by resigning and appealing to public sympathy, ..: If Dan Lamont, for exi ample, was accused of robbing the peo ple of a few millions and he could not defend himself, he wouldn't send in his resignation and go down to Har vey's on Pennsylvania avenue and 'say that he must be vindicated or he would break up the bloody government, or if ne ma, the chances are that his heels would cool off in a cell after a few hours. But with all our faults, follies and foibles, we don't have that sort of men in high official places in this coun try. We democrats try to beat Mr. Harrison, for example, if lie is running for president; but if he is elected, we go to sleep with the utmost confidence that he is not going to break into the treasury and steal the "surplus" or the "reserve." Again, we republicans no w say a whole lot of mean things about. Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Carlisle and the rest of the democraes who have happened to get into exalted positions; but we are not really worrying about their honesty. Thank heaven! we have never had a president, nor a cab inet, that we couidn't trust with what little money a few millions or so--was put in their charge. In all our- his tory, we can remember but two thieves in such positions and we will . not mention . their names now; they are dead long since; but the idea of a whole cabinet resigning and going down to the Elysee and roaring oecause it is ac cused of corruption in office is amusing to an American. . Over here, if it was true and could bo proven, the cabinet would take the first train for the Dry Tortugas; if not true, the reporter that started the story would lose his job. Sunday .Welcome.

With Love Away. I cannot write, I cannot play, There's nothing left worth while to say; The house Is empty, dull and cold, I feel as if I were growing old My love's away. The clock ticks on like solemn fate. Its hands but point the hour of eight; Hut time goes on by leaden feet, . There's nothing left worth having, sweet, i , When love's away. s I restless wander to and fro, My footsteps echoing as I go; The soul of music all has fled, 'And every grace and Joy seems dead x , .
