Jc3& Jiver Slacier. FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1S96. If it is true, as reported, that Judge 'Dennett, in Ilia canvass for congress in this district, will declare for a protect ive tariff on wool, tije democratic party will be left without a candidate. His party is pledged to tariff reform, and ntriff reform, according to the Wilson t.ifi-PF kill Infill, sliict frcm vin . When the Wilson bill was debated in congress not one democratic member from the wool-producing states was heard to raise his voice in favor of protection on wool, and not one voted for it. Dem ocratic policy lavors a tarirr lor revenue only. The. Wilson bill was a purely revenue bill nd would have proved sufficient it ti.o income tax feature had not been declared unconstitutional. Protectionists are very much out of place in the" democratic party. If Judge .Bennett could he elected and the re publican majority should undertake to enact1 a protective tariff law, which they certainly will attempt, he would be found voting with that party for protection on wool, and it might be that he would be ready by that time to vote for a protective tariff bill throughout.- To be consistent, if he wished to favor his constituency besides the sheepmen, he would vote for a tariff on lumber and fruit and all other Ore gon industries that might ask for pro tection, r If a democrat can be induced to think a tariff on wool is the proper thing, it might not take much argu ment to convince him that other "in fant industries" need protection also. If Judge Bennett has gotten off the democratic piatrorm ana now stands upon a platform of his own, or upon the republican platform, his action ab sol ves democrats, whether sou nd money or free-silver democrats, from any obli gation they might have considered themselves under to , vote for him. . Free-silver democrats are not protec tionists, and however much they may desire the triumph of free silver, they are not ready to follow any one into the protection' camp." The tariff question still divides parties, If .it was not for t he tariff question there would be no free-silver republicans nor free-silver democrats all could belong to one and the same , party. Ve do not know where Judge Bennett will find his sup porters and get his votes, if he is in . e , , : . An . -. . . 1 T . . 1UVU1 Ul JJIUICUUUH VII W UUl, crats of Eastern Oregon who favored a tariff on wool have long since left the democratic party and joined tbe repub licans. If they are now free-silver re publicans they will vote for Mr. Ellis; if sound-money republicans they will hardly vote for Judge Bennett. Sound money and free-silver democrats agree on democratic principles upon every point ex'-ept the money question,' and they will not vote for a protection-free-silver candidate for congress The populists have a 'candidate of their own and will hardly ask, him to give way to a candidate without a party. The letter of Mr. H. D. Langille, in this issue, in regard to the Cascade forest reserve, is a strong argument Against the reopening of the same by the government. Mr. Langille is a resident of Hood River, temporarily stopping iu Portland, and, as everyone here is aware of, knows what he is talking about when he writes of sheep nd tells how destructive they are to forest growth. date for congress in this district, is stumping Eastern Oregon. He favors protection to workingmen and govern ment ownership of railroads. Our Threatened Danger. Portland, Or., April 18, 1896. Editor tlT.AOiER: Havine1 notir-ed in . a your last issue the copy of the remon strance against tbe opening of the Cas cade forest reserve and your 'earnest ject, I desire to add an appeal to all citizens who have the best interests of v that section at heart to do all in their power to defeat this measure. - . -' The subject has been thoroughly re ' viewed aud there remains little new argument to present, nor, I believe, is more required to convince the disin terested person that the throwing open the sheepmen would cause iuestimable and irreparable injury to the entire re gion contiguous to the Cascade mount ains or the streams finding source among them. , : . . The secretary of the interior and the forestry department are thoroughly acquainted with the facts of such cases aud would be extremely loth to make Any concessions, but great pressure is ' being brought to bear upon the depart ment by the representatives of. the sheepmen. Therefore we should, by Unanimous Signing of this remon strance, show that we are actively in terested in the matter and that the ef fort toward reopening the reserve i9 being -made only by those having pe cuniary interests in the sheep business and not bv tbe agricultural classes or those representing the interests of the greater uuiuiki ui jcuyie. . The report of the secretary pf the in terior on the" forms of California shows u precedent which It would be well for us to consider. Where once the forests protected a rich undergrowth of grass and shrubbery, there now remains ab solutely no undergrowth, every vestige of the same having been destroyed by constant pasturing of sheep. Aside from damage by lire to the heavy tim ber,' how long, x would ask, before, the same conditions would exist here, ulti mately producing the same results as the sheepmen claim will be brought ntMHit by excluding the sheep that is, tbe rai'gp would le destroyed by pas turing, and this iu time Inst to them anyway, while the great truit industry, which is but in its infancy, would be forever injured. Of the two industries, which oilers the greater future possi bilities? Upon twenty acivs of fruit land, with abundant facilities for irri gation, a man may comfortably support a family, thus offering homes to many in a small area, while a few sheepmen, already having almost the entire "In land Empire" for their pasture, now send up a mighty wail because they are not allowed to carry their work of devastation juto the entire Cascade range. I The resident of Hood River valley need not go far to prove every asser tion made iu argument on this subject. Year after year I have viewed this work of destruction from the lofty summits of the Cascades, and each en suing year I see where the year pre vious stood waving forests of noble rirs and hemlock, now only the whitened trunks remaining to tell the sud tale of ruthless devastation. From the sum mit of Mt. Hood, one day in lust July, I counted twenty-two different forest tires within a radius of comparatively few miles on the eastern slope of the range, and I have reason to believe each and every one of these to have been set by sheep herders, as none were iu localities frequented by campers. Some of these fires continued to bum throughout almost the entire season, covering miles of territory and destroy ing that which can never be replaced. In a short time the decaying trunks will fall and the sheepmau's torch will consume them. The undergrowth will spring up, the sheep will destroy that, and then what? That every forest fire is started by sheepmen, I would not for a moment attempt to charge, but for the most part they are responsible. Protection against sheepmen, however, will also protect against settlers, campers and others who thus commit crimes against the government and the people. In the Oregoniau of the 17th inst. appears a petition accompanied by a list of signatures, including some of the leading business bouses of Portland, which every fruit grower should cut out aud place in his scrap-book for fu ture reference. This list contains names which I believe never would have appeared had the parties given the subject due consideration . For tbe most part they are those who have pe cuniary interests among sheepmen, or were actuated by personul motives. An understanding of the fact that the denudation of the Cascade mountains will in time affect seriously and irre parably the boasted port of Portland would probably huve caused them to hesitate before endorsing such a wrong us this would prove. . During the low water stage of the Willamette last full it was stated i.i a daily paper that the ocean steamers were experiencing some difficulty in docking at this place. If such a con dition can occur ut this time what will be the result when the snow and rain fall in tbe mountains are natually les sened and the protection, now afforded the snow by the forests, is destroyed, thus causing it to melt more rapidly in the early season of the year, resulting in extreme freshets followed by such a stage of low water as will make navi gation of the lower river an impossi bility for deepsea vessels and the upper portion- utmovigable for qny but the lightest craft. ':. . .. Thus It is that the perpetuation ' of the Cascade forest reserve is absolutely essential to almost the entire state. Any effort to the contrary is antago nistic to the best interests of the major ity of the people, while benefiting but few and this lor only a comparatively short time, for even the "unlimited re serve" could not long withstand the annual pasturage of the hundreds of thousands of sheep which would flock to it. ' In conclusion, I will call attention to the-closing lines of the petition, a more outrageous injustice than which could not lie proposed to thrust upon the people of Hood river valley and neighboring sections.-- The petitioners pray that the rules be so modified as to allow tbe pasturing on. the entire re serve "except the Bull Ruii and Mount Hood reserves, or all that portion lying north of the Barlow road, west of the summit of the Cascade mountain range." What does that mean to Hood River? Portland sought far among the green timber-clad hills for a pure water sup ply and rightly hastened to protect it from diminution and pollution by se curing tbe reservation of the Bull Run reserve. This gained these worthy pe titioners seem to have lost sight of the fact that, outside the city of Portland there may be at least a few people who desire a supply of water unpolluted, by protection of the streams upou which they depend. This protection assured, then, unlike the sheep ridden sections, the valley shall blossom as one vast orchard and happy, prosperous homes shall dot the landscape at intervals of less than twenty miles. The reopening of the reserve was adopted as a plauk in the republican platform at the late convention, but no candidate should receive the endorse ment of the farmers and fruit growers of this district who is thus pledged against the welfare of those he iselected to represent. H. D. Langille. Flume Culverts. . Hood River, April 22, 1896 Editor Glacier: ' , The matter of fluming across the roads, which was spoken of last week by Mr. Parker, is of great importance. In some places this mat ter is left in the hands of the road su pervisor, and any one desiring to tres pass thus upon the highways must make application to him, giving speci fications, grade, etc., and if satisfac lory, the supervisor may grant tbe privilege. , But this business of every man putting one in to suit his own fancy or convenience at any desired bight or unevenness, and in most cases very poor workmanship, is a nuisance that should be abated. .Nine-tenths of these grade crossings flood the road as soon as any obstruction gets into the flume.

Editor Glacier: In last week's Glacier, in the council proceedings,' I read: "Coun cilman Davidson introduced an ordi- ! nance amending ordinance No. 7, rais ing license on dray and livery teams from $5 to $20." W hen it is understood that Councilman Davidson is one of the principal men of a job lot combi nation of livery stables, the object of the raise in license is obvious, it the deal is a square one, why is not the tax raised proportionately on the addi tional teams instead of keeping it the same as before. The idea ot the origi nators of the incorporation of the town was for the benefit of those residing within the limits of the incorporation, such as a better water system, an eiii cient fire service, a sewage system, as a protection against the ravages of filth and disease. Now, after 18 months of incorporation we sum up the results as follows: Ordinances have been passed against every crime known on the stat ute books of Oregon except murder in its various degrees, including man slaughter; a license against dogs, livery stables, ten-cent shows and pedlers.and to the best of my information, none enforced, except those that interfere with the livery stable interests. "How are the mighty fallen!" All of our glowing anticipations of fire hydrants at street corners, book aud ladder and hose companies, reductions in insur ance rates, and sewer systems all frit-, tered and simmered down ' into - a "sinch-back ordinance " Incorpora tion has been a Contemptible failure; nothing has been done but spend money excepting the consolidation of the livery stable interests, l he present council has pledged themselves to do nothing during their term of office, so that now I am ready to quit and re turn to our original state ot unincorpo rated blessedness. ; Citizen. Stand by Our Local Union. Hood River, April 20, 1896. Editor Glacier: I hand you a circular letter of the J. F. Kelly Co. of Butte, Mon tana, which I think will explain itself, as our experience with that firm last year is still fresh in the memory of our berry growers. Mr. Kelly's gall is of a pronounced order aud surpasses any thing of the kind that I ever knew of. After his ruction with Mr. Davidson, last year, Mr. Kelly was going to boy cott our berries and thus to leurn us "where we were at:" but Mr. K.'s heart has softened ana he proposes to let us live awhile longer. All I wish to say is tand 1 was one of the largest shippers last year) that Mr. Davidson's management of the union was perfectly satisfactory to me, nor have I heard of any complaint. Will say further that my berries shipped, to Mr. Kelly (be fore Mr. Davidson caught on) brought from 75 cents to $1 per crate less than berries shipped to other parties in Butte on same d.ae. If our berry growers know when they are well oft", they will stand by our lo cal union and keep the commission and wages in the valley, H. C Coe. . Return of the Prospectors. The Mountaineer of Monday gives the following account of the trip to the mountains by parties from Hood River anrt White Salmon;. .i . Tiie prospecting party consisting Wj li. Liaduhotl, .1. -McCoy, Wesley and J. Locke, James Langille, John Darke and J. II. Cradlebaugh, that left White Salmon seven weeks ago today, ar rived home Saturday night. The per sons named had located claims on Mc Coy creek, a branch of the Cifpus river, about the north line of Skamania county, last -, fall and desired to test their ground in order that if good they could make arrangemeuts for going actively and systematically at work to open their claims as soon us the season would permit. They left White Salmon Tuesday morning, going as far as Trout lake iu wagons. Thursday morning, with their plunder loaded on three sleds, they began what proved to be a re markably hard trip that lusted 23 days. The old snow for forty miles of the road was from 15 to 20 feet deep, and the first two days out nearly two feet of new snow fell. The party arrived at its destination March 27th, and were, on the creek 17 days. There was about six feet of snow on the bars when they. arrived and about four feet when theyi left. In consequence of this, prospect ing was' a difficult-undertaking. Mr. Cradlebaugh is satisfied the ground will pay, but how rich it is. is an un known matter.: The creek is quite large, and the bars not very numerous, the hillsides being very steep and the canyon consequently of the "box" or der. The area of lay ground is small and is all located, there being but about a mile and a quarter of the creek that will pay, unless the creek below the box canyon; a distance of seven miles, should develop pay dirt. The party will not go out again before July 1st, as it will be impossible to get in with horses before that time. The distance from Trout lake to the mines is about 65 miles. -.'' Populist County Convention. . The populists of Wasco county met in convention at The Dalles last Satur day. Hood River was honored by the selection of our townsmen, H. F. Da vidson and H. L Howe, to act as chairman and secretary of the conven tion. The following nominations for county officers were made: Sheriff W. H. Taylor. i Clerk H. L. Howe. Treasurer Setb Morgan. County Judge F. A. Taylor. " Commissioner George Patterson. Assessor D. R. McCoy. T School Superintendent Miss Josie Hansberry. ;-- Coroner George Arnold. . V George McNulty, son of Cant.

' Jas.L.Franci8,alderman,Chicago,says "I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an ideal panacea for coughs, colds and lung complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years,to the ex clusion of physicians' prescriptions or other preparations." - , Rev. John Burgus,Keokuk,Io.,writes:i "I have been a minister of the Method-.' ist Episcopal church for 50 years or more and have never found anything so Uen eficial, or that gave me such speedy re lief as Dr.King's New Discovery." Try I this ideal cough remedy now. 'l rial ooi- ties free at Hood River rharmacy. J Care of an Orchard. I find there Is a very generally prevailing opinion that any one can be a fruit grower, that all that Is required Is to plant a few trees and in a few years harvest a crop of prize iruit. A man may learn a trade so that he understands it thoroughly and can manage any branch of it, but this is not the case In fruit growing. When a man commences to grow fruit he commences at the same time to grow a good crop of diversified knowledge, for something he had not thought of will come np every day or two to confront and resist him. . Most of the fruit pests are, if not of modern origin, at least universal within the last few years. Most of the old settlers will remember what fine apples we had in the Willamette valley 25 or 30 years ago, but they are there no longer. The "Oregon red apple," famous then all over the coast, comes no longer from the valley. Neglect has furnished the golden opportunity for the pests, and I am sorry to say that these pests have not neg lected it. There are a few isolated localities In the valley where good fruit is still grown, 'but they are the exceptions that prove the op posite rule. When I first became a member of this board, three years ago, apple scab was unknown in my district; but, in spite of the watchfulness of the growers, it has made its appearance In a few orchards within the last year. I find the most common and most grlevou3 mis take made by those who begin fruit growing is the lack of care In selecting the location for their orchards. My advice would be to select your intended orchard ground in the month of February. If you find then the soil Is too wet or miry, leave it for some other crop and do not plant trees In it. It is also a good plan to dig holes In the land two or three feet deep. If the water stands in these do not put out trees, Unless some provision Is made for thor ough drainage. If these boles are sunk to a depth of four or five feet, it will also demon strate whether or not the hardpan is a source of danger. I have been asked at different times by orchardists, "What Is the matter with my orchard? It don't do well." My answer Is, "Dig a hole and you Will find hard pan too near the surface," and this proves to be the case In almost every instance. ., Another mistake is in selecting the trees.for it is seldom, indeed, that the varieties for commercial value, at least, are not too many. A fruit looks nice, or the name sounds nice, hod a few of t his, that and the other kinds are selected, resulting in a mixture of good, bad and indifferent fruit, the bad and Indifferent prevailing, and the owner is often Ignorant of the names of his assorted fruits. Another and a serious mistake is made In crowding the trees, and this applies to all kinds of fruit trees. Downing recommends from thirty to forty feet os the distance at which apple treesshould be planted from each other, but many who know better than he in sist on crowding them to 'twenty-five or even twenty feet. The result is that when the trees get ten years old the limbs will touch, mak ing it difficult to take care of them, and then they soon begin to show signs of decay. At the same1 time, the fruit not getting enough sun, deteriorates in quality. Good fruit must have the sun. You may quote Downing, and you may advise the orchard planter against crowdin?, and he will admit you are correct, but when you visit him in another year you will find the advice unheeded and the trees crowded. Most orchards are trimmed too much. After the trees get three or four years old they should be left alone; the only thing required is to see that the limbs do not cross one another and that plenty of sunshine gets Into the trees. Every fruit grower should have one or more horticultural papers; they are cheap, and every number will add to your information. - It is needless, perhaps, to say that every or chardist should have a good spray pump. It Is good policy to buy the best and to avoid those with leather valves or packing, as they are almost certain to give a good deal of trouble. Whatever pump is selected, how ever, should be taken care of and cleaned and oiled when you are through using it. It is the opinion of some that spraying does no good. The reason of this opinion is that they Judge by work improperly done. There is not more than one out of five who does the work properly, and the neglect often begins in not having the wash properly mixed. Spraying, when improperly done, Is a waste of time and money. I find that some of the fruit growers spray when tbe wind is blowing, then they invariably spray the trees on one side. They are afraid the spray will get on their clothes. When you spray for San Jose scale you want to be sure and cover every part of the tree. If you leave only a small place two or three inches on a limb, you will have enough scale left to stock the whole tree. Any one who has a good deal of spraying to do, I would advise having a pair of joggles and something to protect their face, also their hands. I have had a great deal of ex perience in my district with the Ban Jose scale. A great many of our fruit growers don't seem to mind it, as they spray every winter with the lime, sulphur and salt; this gives the tree a good, healthy appearance. You will have to use a good deal of Judgment when spraying, and. when you find that it looks like it was about ready to rain, you want to use the spray a little stronger than usual, and also more salt, as it will not so easily wash off. You will see by my report in regard to the experience I have had in l iiing the lime, sul phur and salt, that the only thing that gives the wash any strength Is the sulphur. The lime helps the sulphur to dissolve; the salt is to make it stick on tbe tree. I have experi mented about ten different ways in boiling this solution of lime, sulphur and salt, and they all amount to'Ttbout one and the same. This is the result of one of them: Ten pounds of sulphur, ten pounds of lime and twenty gallons of water. Boiling fifteen minutes it shows 7- degrees; thirty minutes, 9 degrees; forty-five minutes, 10 degrees; one hour, 12 degrees; then I add the salt, ten pounds, and let It boil for half an hour longer. You will see that by adding ten gallons of water you will have thirty gallons of wash. Never add too much cold water while boiling. -, - A long and careful examination into the question of varieties most valuable commer cially for Eastern Oregon convinces me that the Red Astrachan and Early Harvest are the best summer apple, the Gravenstein and King of Tompkins County the best fall, and the Yellow Newtown Pippin, Spitzenburg, .Baldwin and Wlnesap the best winter. There are, of course, many other valuable varieties, such as the Rome Beauty, Jonathan, Louvre and others, but the varieties named, all things considered, outrank all the others. On my last visit to Portland I made inquiry of the fruit dealers as to the best selling apples, and tbe answer was, Invariably, "Spitzenburgs and Baldwins." One dealer told me he had received a few days before thirty boxes of Hood River apples, among them ten boxes of Spitzenburgs, ten ot Baldwins and ten of Rhode Island Greenings. The Baldwins and Spitzenburgs went at once, the others he had still on hand. Fruit growing has attained to the dignity of a profession, and it Is a pleasant, healthful and profitable' occupation for those who en gage in it Intelligently. Both Dunn and Bradstreet report that there is a much smaller percentage of failures among i'rult growers than among farmers; or in mercantile pur suits. As a general rule, orchardists are well to do, and the small fruit grower can always rely on sufficient lucome to pay his way as he District, in tato Horticnlimul Bulletin '.9. goes. fjnue sseuauno, ;ornmissioner rounn UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER offid1nlXntekr,inafss Wall Paper, Paints, Oils, etc., ete.
