All reDort havirur had a fine time and are greatly encouraged over the work done generally, Tne state convention meets at New burg in May. Prof. Ferguson's musical entertain ment at the Barrett school bouse Sat urday evening was highly spoken of by all w'ho were present. The professor is indeed a musical wonder. He is a whole troupe of musicians in one. By the aid of his lungs he can imitate a brass band to perfection on the violin. He can almost make the violin talk, and can make It sound like a number of musical instruments, such as a bugle, banjo, pipe organ, etc. Mr. Ferguson repeated a number of his selections at the Easter exercises of the U. B. church Sunday morning. Prof. Ferguson will return to Hood River in June and give an exhibition in town. The little two-year-old boy of Grant Evans took a bath in Hood river last Sunday. Grant had gone to the river to try his luck at fishing and his wife and child accompanied him. While playing along the beach between the two railroad bridges the little boy, when some distance from his parents, took a plunge head foremost into the stream. The water isquitesballow at this point, but it was deep enough to cover his face. Mrs. Evans was the first to get to him and had to wade to reach the child, who, when rescued, was ready to try it again and seemed to think it fun. Day Bros.' steam launch, while re turning to the Cascade Locks Sunday afternoon under full steam, grounded upon the sand bar in the river just op posite Mr. E. Locke's place. The lumber company's little tug, seeing the launch in distress, got up steam and started to the rescue. But after about an hour's time the launch succeeded in getting free a few minutes before the arrival of the tug. ,. The delegates to the democratic con vention at The Dalles were invited to accept the privileges,; of the Commer cial club rooms, tor two days, by the secretary, Mr. R. B. Sinnott. The delegates Hilly appreciated the kind offer and put in their spare time.at the bowling alley, reading rooms and card tables. J'he Hood River delegation de veloped some experts at- rolling ten pins. Mr. N. C. Evans has sold 39J acres of land to a gentleman named Middle swart, of Montana, for $4000. This sale includes the residence and a large por tion of the orchards of Mr. Evans' place. Mr. Middleswart says others of his neighbors in Butte, Montana, will come to Hood River and buy land.

A Millionaire Soil Tiller. Secretary of Agriculture Morton spent a week investigating "Biltmore," the famous estate of George Vanderbllt. He says there Is nothing in the world owned by sovereign or subject that will compare with It, either as a residence or as an object lesson In the agricul tural arte. - "It is a grand idea that young Mr. Vander bllt Is trying to carry out," said Mr. Morton. "It is unique, and uone but a man of his enor mous wealth, could undertake it. Few kings have either funds or the good of their people at. heart sufficiently to conceive and carry out what Mr. Vanderbilt has successfully demon strated. I don't know how much money he has spent on his North Carolina place, nor how much more he intends to Invest, but it is one of the grandest undertakings that indi vidual enterprise ever attempted, and I un derstand thut it Is the owner's intention to leave it as a legacy to the public when he can no longer enjoy It himself. -There are 95,000 acres in the estate, and every Inch of it may be said to be under scientific cultivation, em bracing every branch of the vegetable king dom. ' "Combined with It he has the most perfect system of roadways I have ever seen, and you can drive 100 miles over mac damized pave ment without going oft' his estate. As an ex hibition of landscape gardening it Is without an equal. Frederick Law Olmsted has had charge of that branch of the work and the late Richard M. Hunt was tl architect of all the buildings.which for their several uses surpass, perhaps, any that exist on earth. There are no palaces in Europe that can equal Mr. Van derbilt's for elegance, comfort and conve nience, and he is gathering there a collection of works of art that would make It famous If It had no other attraction. His stables, his barns, his dairies, his propagating houses, his henneries and other features of his establish ment, are all on the same grand scale. He has undertaken to ftrishtthe highest possi ble example of the scieitiee of food culture In every one of its branches, j "He has employed the bfest men he could And to take charge of hlsvexperiments and pays them salaries com me lis urate with their services. There are German and Frenchmen and Italians and Englishmen, as well as Americans, employed. This foreigners are usually men of high professional reputations, who are attached to universities in the Old World and spend their vacations, three, lour or .Ax months, on Mr-Vanderbllt's estate, looking after their respective departments. While the Work has not yet been carried far enough to show the results, the possibilities of usefulness .offered by Mr. Vanderbilt's en terpriseare unllm'iwjl. "I consider his worlf there Just as important to the agricultural interests of this country as the department of agriculture at Washington. He employs more men than I have under my charge, and I think ho is spending more, money every year than congress appropriates lor my department, although I do not know Ills figures. He has nearly a thousand names on his pay roll and we have about 700. His men are promoted for emciimcy according to the most practical civil senvice rules. If a man who Is employed at SI V a day to shovel dirt shows that he is capable of something better, his work and his wageij are both ad vanced, and the same rule applies to every body on theestate. Iftherewerd nothingelse Lto be accomplished, Mr. Vanderbllt is at least ouuaing up an educational lnst'tntion mat will furnish scientific fanners ai)d teachers for Hue Instruct ion of the rest of mankind.and I feel like thanking old Commodo-e Vander bllt for having given us a grandsoi who has the brains ami the benevolence to devote his wealt h to afford the public such variable ob ject lessons In art, architecture, agriculture, forestry, viticulture, dairying, road .making and other useful work. The people down there talk about the enormous n. ount of money Mr. Vanderbllt is investing to gratify his taste and pride, to provide luxuries for his appetite and magnificent displays tc flatter his vanity, but the poor creatures do not com prehend the first letter in the alphabet of his ambition. Their vision is not broad eiough; their intelligence is not sufficient lo grasp a single fragment of the idea he is developing, and while tuey Imagine that it is all Vine to selfishness, he Is a great benefactor working for them. They talk about the land 'ibeing worn out down there in North Carolina!. It's the people. The land is all right if brains and energy were applied to its cultivation Church Notices. Rev. C. L.
