The governor is being asked by some
of the leading taxpayers of the state to
call a special session of the1 legislature
to undo some of the bad legislation of
, the last regular session, reduce the ap
propriations and relieve the overbur-
uenea taxpayers. 41 is raiuer mie now
to cull an extra session to reduce taxes
for this year. In a few days the tax

The democrats are fighting the tariff
bill the. republicans have before con
gress for all they are worth, their plan
of raising luoru revenue being to place
an extra tax of one dollar on each keg

As beer is not a, democratic beverage
their willingness to have it bear a high
tax is putriotic in the extreme. Ore

: ' Stato Horticultural Society.
The meeting of the state horticul
tural society in Portland showed a
lack of interest in the work of the so
ciety even on the part of its members,
only ten being present. The address
of the president,' Hon. E. L. Smith,
after enumerating some of the difficul
ties under which the society labored
And showing the work of the past year,
concluded as follows: :" ? ' "
"The past year's experience has am
ply demonstrated to me the fact that
the greatest impediment to progress
ive, successful fruit . culture is the
apathy and indifference of those en
gaged in the pursuit. ' .
1 "Indeed, I feel that during the year
we have taken a step backward, not
only In the work of our society, but in
the removal of the. office of the state
board from the metropolis to a place
where it is not readily accessible to the
eastern portion of the state nor to those
coming uuiii uuier suites witu a view
of engaging in the fruit industry.
"Your chairman does not share in
the opinion ' that there is no field of
labor for a state horticultural society in
Oregon. Many of us who are devoting
time and means to orcharding would
welcome and find invaluable the meth
ods and experience of other growers.
The state horticultural society, in this
as well as other states, ' should be the
vehicle of important educational work.
Mistakes would be avoided, errors cor
rected and failures averted, if we could
popularize the experimental work of
the general government and the more
valuable field work carried on in our
state Artificial fertilizers are rapidly
coming Into use, and their sale should
be subject to state regulation, so that
we may know what we buy. Our laws
and the enforcement of them relative
to the interests of the fruit Industry are
new, and hence" imperfect, and the

"It is doubtful if any portion of our
country can show a greater percentage
of arable soil adapted to gardening,

sense, than Oregon; and it will indeed
be lamentable If we neglect any means

Indian Citizenship. t

Essay Read by Miss Bertha M. Warren at
Frankton School. .
The pleasant little Valley of Hood
River is situated about Sixty miles east
from Portland and twenty miles west
from The Dalles. From almost any
point in the valley can be had a view
of the snow-capped peaks of Hood and
Adams, which rise to the south and
north, standing like sentinels keeping
guard over the peaceful valley.
From Mount Hood flows the clear
and beautiful stream from which the
valley takes its name. From the moun
tain two branches start, called the East
and West Forks, flowing for a distance
of about fifteen miles before uniting to
form the main stream, which finally
pours its waters into the great Colum
bia, the northern boundary of the val
ley. The valley has many attractions
for the visitor and tourist. The snow
clad mountains are more accessible
from Hood River valley than any other
point, Mt. Hood being 28 miles distant
from the railroad statioa and . Mt.
Adams 85. The scenery is always at
tractive and the orchards and straw
berry patches In the fruiting season
lend additional charm to the view.
Ditches are being taken out of the
mountain streams to irrigate the con
stantly increasing berry patches. Some
of the orchards are grown without irri
gation, especially on the East Side,
where the soil is more adapted fjpr grai n
raising and where the farmers gen
erally raise wheat for their own flour,
which is ground at Harbison Bros.'
mill. This mill is picturesquely sit
uated on Neal creek, a good-sized
stream which flows in a northwesterly
direction and empties into Hood river
a few miles above the mouth. This
mill was brought to the valley 17 years
ago by Mr. D. D. Rogers, now an old
gentleman over 80. When owned by
Mr. Rogers the mill was situated at the
falls of Phelps creek, near the old
state road, where at one time it was
thought the town would be located.
On this road, -at about the same time,
the first store building in the valley
was built and owned by Hon. E. L.
Smith. When the railroad was built
and the station located on its present
site, the town of Hood Kiver was
started. Mr. Smith, moved his store
there, and it is now the oldest store, in
towu and is owned by Mr. George P.
Crowell. ..- -,. .- .
The fruit growers of the valley have
formed a union, and through it most
of the fruit is shipped. During the
summer and fall of 1895 the shipments
of strawberries and prunes were considerable.-
Many apples are now being
shipped, but this industry is still in its
infancy. Young apple orchards are
numerous and more are constantly be
ing set out. The farther up the valley
one goes the better the apple land is
found to be. Near the falls of Hood
river the country is as yet thinly set
tled, it being mostly heavily timbered.'
When it is cleared, however, it makes
the best orchard land in the valley.
Hood River is becoming quite a noted
summer resort for people from the city,
who come during the summer months
and scatter through' the valley, some
going to Mt. Hood, others to the falls
or to Lost lake, near the mountain.
Any one going to the falls cannot help
but notice the grandeur and beauty of
the water as it falls over the rocks into
a deep basin' belowv ' This basin is said
to be bottomless and is called "The
Devil's Punch Bowl." ! A new bridge
is being constructed just above the
falls, and when completed will be quite
an advantage to the public. Fish
abound in the lakes, rivers and smaller
streams.
Several saw mills are located in the,
mountains. Davenport Bros. & Co.
have a long flume, extending a dis
tance of about eight miles from the
mills to their planer near the Columbia,
through which they flume railroad ties
and rough lumber to be dressed fpr
building purposes. "
Hood River valley has a bright fu
ture. When a complete system of irri
gation is reached and all the young or
chards now being set are in full bearing,
along with the strawberries and other
fruits, train loads of fruit will be shipped
from its borders. And with such a de
lightful climate, beautiful scenery and
in fact everythiug that goes to make a
peaceful and happy community, Hood
River is sure to become a noted place.
