?food Iiver Slacier. FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1S90. Jt is a settled fact that the Valley Improvement Co.'s ditch will hot be built in time to be of service for irriga tion the coming summer,, but if work is commenced in earnest by July 1st, the water will be available for next season's strawberry crop. Those who have set strawberry plants expecting to have the water for irrigation this spring should not be discouraged and fail to cultivate their plants. . By proper care they Can be taken through the dry season on most any kind of soil And where planted on land that will grow good 4otutoes or corn without ir rigation, there will be no trouble in taking the pUints through the dry spell. , In fact, strawberries on land that will grow good potatoes without irrigation don't need any water to make them a profitable crop in this valley,- We know some of our readers will be ready to dispute this assertion but we have proved it to our own sat isfaction. During the past three years we have had about one-quarter of an acre in strawberries ; that never had any irrigation, and they seem to do about as well as the plants of neighbors who irrigate. . Our plants have never been hoed, not even the tops nor run ners cut off after the crop, until the next-spring, for the past two years, They have been ' neglected about, as badly as they could be, except they re ceive a couple of good hoeingsin the spring, and maybe are- cultivated by horse cultivator once. We do not ad vise this kind of treatment by growers who are in the business for profit, but we believe the : strawberry plant will stand about as much neglect as any crop raised here and still be profitable, From that quarter of an acre of neglect ed strawberry plants was sold last year $40 worth of berries. We don't know of any other crop that could have been grown on the same land with as much profit. We derived more income last year fqom that quarter of an acre; out side of products consumed by the fam ily, than from all the rest of the farm. If any of our friends doubt this state ment, we hereby invite them to come and see us in the strawberry season, und we will treat them to strawberries and cream and show them as fine ber ries as are grown, unless fertilized with something besides water. - ' -v The Alaska trade is calling for Hood - " River apples.- A commission house in ; ' ' Seattle last week telegraphed W. J, ' Baker offering $1.75 a box for a carload ' f his Newtown pippins for shipment A by steamer to Alaska.'! Mr.' Baker replied that his price was $2 a box de livered at the station inTHood River. . . ' The price offered by the commission "- house is a pretty fair price for a car load, but Mr. Baker is getting $2 a box for bis apples and can gjt that price for every box he can furnish this spring. Mr. Henry Prigge continues to get' $2 and $2.25 for his Spitzenbergs at Se .t ,attle, and these prices are probably In fluenced by the rush to the mines and the demand for apples of the best qual- J itybythe fortunate miners. The nu- i merous steamers now in the Alaska . trade are crowded on every trip up the a coast with passengers .for the mines. w -v"r"' , The Alaska trade will call for the best 1 of all kinds of produce, and Hood . River will find a good market there for . our apples. The Southern portion of California is engaged now and will be until June 1st ' In picking, packing and, shipping its orange crop. The yield of the golden fruit is estimated at 2,800,000 boxes, about two-thirds of a full yield. The cash yield from this crop will reach $.5,000,000. The orange industry in Southern California is but fifteen years old and a capital of $33,000,000 has been invested in it. There are now 10,000 acres in fruit-bearing groves, and 80, 000 more acres are planted with young .trees. The Anneke Jans" heirs, .claiming property worth millions now in pos session of Trinity church corporation in New York city, held a convention Jn Cleveland the other day. It'was stated by the secretary that the heirs not only claim 192 acres In the heart of New York city, valued at $800,000,000, but also $80,000,000 in Holland. The claimants, 1,310 in number, represent nearly every state in the Union and the Canadian . provinces. Mr. E. W. Winansof Hood River is one of the claimants. ' . . Secretary Carlisle, in a recent letter to Representative .Patterson of Tenn essee, says: "In response to your verbal Inquiry concerning the coinage : of ' standard silver dollars during the pres ent administration,, you are advised that it amounts to $6,662,000 up to the 15th day of this month, while the amount of such dollars coined in this country from the establishment of the mint, in 1792, up to February, 1878, a period of 80 years, was $8,000,000. In Union county the populists re solved that they ,are unalterably op posed to the use of liquor and cigars by the candidates in the campaign for electioneering purposes, - . -' As everything points to the nomina tion of McKinley for president on the republican ticket, it would seem uat- ural that his friends shpuld look out for candidates for congress who are and will be in full accord with their chief on all questions. Such a candidate is found iu the person of Mr. John Mich ell of The Dalles. We are glad to see that his old. friends of the press throughout Oregon and Washington have given him many complimentary notices since his name was first sug gested for the nomination by the Glacier. The latest mention of his name in this connection we find in the Klickitat Republican, as follows: "'Hon John Michell of The Dalles for congress would be the proper "caper" in Oregon this year. There is not another man in the whole West so well informed of the real geography of the state of Ore gon, also of the actual needs of the peo ple. Another thing, Mr. Michell is a sound money man and solid ' for pro tection." A Story ol Lincoln. Mr. Geo. Croweii, the well-known merchant or Jiooa mver, tola a war story in our presence Wednesday that we think worth repeating. . Mr. Croweii was a member of the Eighth New Jersey regiment during the war. While his regiment was sta tioned at Alexandria, Va., near Wash ington City, in 1861, President Lincoln drove out to the camp iu his carriage. Mr. Croweii was on guard that day, but was off duty when the president drove up and happened to be standing near where the carriage stopped. The pres ident addressed him, saying, "Young man, can you tell me if your colonel is in camp?" Before he could muke re" ply a lieutenant pompously , stepped in front of Mr. Croweii, saluted and said: "Mn President, this man is only a private! What can I do for you?1 Mr. Lincoln paid no attention to the lieutenant, never answering him," but toid his driver- to drive on. In the meantime Mr. Croweii had started to walk away,and the president's carriage soon overtook him. Mr. Lincoln . re newed the conversation by asking him,. "How do you like soldiering by this time?" Mr. Croweii answered, "Well I don't hardly know. We have never been in a battle yet." Mr. Lincoln re plied that he thought he would have plenty of chauces yet to see a battle! Just then the colonel of the regiment, who had' been appraised of Mr. Lincoln's presence iu camp, came up and was introduced by Mr. Croweii. Cascade Gushers. The literary society at the 'Barrett school house still continues to draw a full house every Saturday evening. Their literary programme is always good. Mr. Fred Bailey's songs are al ways greeted with a rousing encore. "The Cascade Gushings and Irrigating Monitor'' was as usual brim full of jokes on everybody in the neighbor hood Saturday night. The jokes inva riably bring out prolonged applause. Last Saturday evening the young peo ple of the society debated the question, "Resolved, That steamboats arei of greater benefit to commerce thaii rail ways.' Mr7" Louis Tsehbergled the affirmative and George Wilson, the negative. The question was ably' han dled by the boys on both sides, t The udges decided in favor of the affirm ative by a vote of two to one.Mr. George Stranahan is now president of toe society and Roy tshoemaker secre tary, 1 Coining Events. . .

Coon showed us during the week two copies of tho Pupils1 Journal, published by the pupils of Fast Portland schools in 1879, while Mr. Coon was principal. The paper had a new editor every ' month. It was neatly written by an electric pen and was quite original. We copy the toiiowing composition "written hy a ni-ie-year-old while being detained after school one evening:" "Behaver. isenaver is tne best tiling any scollor can do while durening school ours and uisiienaver is tne budest tiling any f (-hollar can do whille school, ours the teacher has tuken many names today and the ones that is cept in ought to be shamed of himself I am anyhow ' I have nothing to say any more." ; Marvelous Kesiilts. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia suc ceeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would lust hours witn little interruption, and It seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend rec ommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in Its work and highly saN . isfactorv in results."

Medical experts are coming forward to testify that early rising is responsi ble for the rapid increase in the lunatic asylum population,- For this potent argument against Ben Franklin's mis take the optimistic public will be in clined to give the alienists unstinted applause. The fact that insane asylums are largely tilled by farmers' wives has long been explained on the theory that ceaseless routine has a tendency to throw the mind off its mental balance. According to Dr. Talcott of New York the routine life aggravates but is not the direct cause of the mental disease. He cites statistics to prove that early rising is responsible. His views are shared by other alienists as distin guished as himself. Early to rlae and early to bed Is sure indication of wheels In the head, say the modern alienists. Optimism cannot flourish as long as we are com pelled to go to bed before we are sleepy and rise just when Morpheus is most ardently wooing us. Philanthropy re quires that Dr. Talcott's name be hand ed down to posterity. St. Louis Re public. .- . . ' A Sorrowful Story. , ' Young Chief, a Umatilla Indian, writes to the East Oregouian as fol lows: ' . ... , . ; ., I have a very sorrowful story to tell. Two years ago I had no trouble. In dians never got drunk. ' But ever since you white people told the Indians that they were citizens they began to drink. Since that time ten have been killed or frozen to death under tbe intiuence of liquor. I believe it is all the white man's fault. I think since we become citizens we will drink . ourselves to death.- In about two years there won't be any left. Then you white men will get hold of our lands. To Open the Columbia. Articles incorporating the Columbia Portage and Transportation company have been filed with the secretary of state. The incorporators are William J. Mariner, J A. Smith, W. W. Stei- wer, W. v. Uray, K. V. Egbert and C. A. Shurte. The capital stock of the company is $250,000, divided into shares of $10 each, and the principal place of business is The Dalles. The formation of lhis company has been contemplated for some time, and the incorporators have fully considered the practicability of the move, with the re sult that they have determined to pro ceed with an effort to open the Colum bia at the Celilo obstruction. Moro Observer. ' " 2iot to Be Trifled With. From Cincinnati Gazette. Will people never learn that a "cold" is an accident to be dreaded, and that when it occurs treatment should be promptly applied? Ihereisno know ing where the trouble will end; and while complete recovery is the rule.the exceptions are terribly frequent, and thousands upon thousands of fatal ill ness occur every year ushered in by a little injudicious exposure and seem ingly trifling symptoms.
