Tbe third biennial fair of the Hood JUver horticultural association, held October 8 and 9, 1897, was a success In all its' details. The attendance was good throughout, many coming from The Dalles and other points, and it iseemed as if the whole population of Hood Ri er valley had turned out to lend their aid in making the fair a suc cess, and in this they succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations of the managers. The fruit exhibit, though not so great in qantity as that of two years ago, was of better quality. The uhowing made of winter apples was a delight to all interested in that branch of horticulture and strengthened the belief of our own citizens that Hood River valley cannot be surpassed in the production of the king of fruits. The vegetable exhibit surpassed all previous records. . Indeed,' it was a surprise to many ot our. oldest citizens to find what our valley can produce in the way of vegetables. Mount Hood joined in making a good display of fruit, most ly furnished by D. R. Cooper. His display of perfect winter apples, grown near the glaciers of Mount Hood, at tracted much attention. Chris Deth uian's fine exhibit of winter apples captured the silver medal. A. O. Hershey was awarded the silver medal lor best exhibit of vegetables. George Mcintosh exhibited two boxes of red apples one Baldwin, the other Van divere' which showed how apples should be packed. They were nailed up with flats, and the sides being open, every tier in tbe box could be seen. He sold one box to D. H. Sears for $1, and the other was taken to Portland by S. A. Howes, where it will be ex hibited and afterwards sold to the highest bidder. E. L. Smith had ap ples in bulk from Beulah Land, mak ing about as fine a showing as any ex hibit in the hall. His tub of richly colored Gravensteins was one of the most attractive features of the fair. Tbe art and needle work department, though not so full as two years ago, showed that Hood River has amateur artists and needle workers of no mean pretensions. ' Mrs. M. F. Shaw received the silver medal for having displayed the most skill with her needle. Miss Marion Cook was awarded tbe silver inedul for best exhibit of paintings, her own work. Mro. A. O. Hershey received a silver medal for best display of flowers and potted plants. ; , At the baby show nine babies were entered for prizes. Roy Earl Binns, aged 12 months, son of J. E. Binns, was awarded a silver medal for best baby under 18 months and over 6 months of age, and William Edgar Mcintosh, aged six weeks, son of Geo. Mcintosh, received a silver medal for being best baby under six months of age. The baby Bhow drew a big crowd Saturday afternoon, and when the de cisions . of ' tbe committee were an nounced everybody had to see the win ners. The happy parents proudly ex hibited thcra and 'received congratula tions. The officers of the fair J. W. Mor ton, superintendent; H. C. Batebam, secretary; J. H. Dukes, marshal; J. P. Watson, door-keeper were assiduous in their duties and all deserve great praise for their efforts to make the fair a success. ' Tbe inusical programmes, rendered Friday and Saturday nights fully ap preciated by the crowds in attendance. The crowd Saturday night was a per fect jam. During the progress of the ' baby show, the little babe of Mrs .Allen fell from a bench and broke its arm. J. S. Gray, who kept the confection ery booth, assisted by Miss Alice Gra ham, cleared, above all expenses, $2.75, which went to help pay the expenses of the fair The booth was neatly ar ranged and handsomely decorated, and Mr; Gray was frequently complimented on the good taste displayed in its con struction. ' Some fancy candies ordered by Mr. Gray did, not arrive in time for the fuir and they were bought by M.H. Nickelsen, who now has them on sale. Mr. Jos. A. C. Brant, editor of the Vancouver Columbian", was a visitor at the fair. . He stayed till the end and was Ignored by being made one of the judges on vegetables. Some men have to remain a long time in a community before they get to be judge. ' Joe brought with him his this year's baby boy to enter it for a prize at the baby show, but lie was barred out on account of being a non-resident. His baby is a fine one and would be sura to capture a prize if entered at a baby show any where outside of Hood River. The Hershey family walked off with two silver medals one for best display of vegetables, the other for best flowers. The fine red apples exhibited by Geo. Mcintosh were grown on the ranch owned by E. J. Middleswart. Several apple buyers from Portland attended the fair expecting to purchase apples by the carload, but the growers were not inclined to sell good keeping apples. Sixty cents per box was of fered for Jonathan and other red ap- 1 : apples. Mr. L. M. Speigl of the well known commission house of Levy & Speigl, and S. A. Howes, were among the visitors that wanted to buy apples, The awarding committee on fruits found all the exhibits meritorious. They found that Cooper had 14 plates of perfect apples, Boggs 15 and Deth man 20. M. V. Harrison bought a box of apples, samples, from J. W. Morton and Gearge Mcintosh, which he will take with him to Portland. In our report last week of the In dian curios at the fair we got the name of Mrs. Hanson as the exhibitor when it should haye been Mrs. H. Olsen. The Yakima apple, which has been considered by some tbe same as the Baldwin, has proven itself to be an en tirely distinct variety. Capt. H. C. Cook of White Salmon, the originator of this apple, exhibited some fine spe cimens. The Yakima is free from the specks that are found on the Baldwin, especially when the latter grow to a good size. The Yakima is bound to be one of the most desirable for planting for commercial purposes. ,. The fine exhibit of vegetables, from Idlewllde farm were grown by Sam kin, raised from seed given out by tbe Glacier. While the pumpkin was still growing he scratched with a pin upon it as follows: ,lHood River Gla cier. It's a cold day when we get left." Then he set up opposition to us and decorated the pumpkins with ads, as follows. "T. C. Dallas, stoves and tinware; E. C. Goddard, shoes, Port land; Costa Rica Coffee company, Port land: E. V. Husbands, harness; George P. Crowell, merchandise," etc. The pumpkin is now at this office, the grower kindly donating it to help us through the hard winter. It will be remembered that the Glacier gave out seed from a pumpkin raised on tbe Glacier ranch last year, aud which weighed 60 pounds, and promised to give 'the paper one year to the sub scriber raising tbe largest pumpkin from this seed, provided it weighed more than 60 pounds, and six months' subscription for the next largest; tbe pumpkins to be exhibited at the fair. J. C. Boggs also exhibited a Glacier pumpkin, but neither weighing as much as 60 pounds, no one has earned a subscription to tbe Glacier by rais ing pumpkins, and we remain tbe champion. Exhibitors.

Castner exhibited a book con taining the story of Robinson Crusoe that was printed in 1795. On a fly leaf is written, in a clear,' bold hand, the following: ; "James ' Barker's Book.

Ex-Senator Edmunds, in a speech in Philadelphia recently, in illustrating the arbitrary methods of labor unions, mentioned a plumber in Washington who couldn't take his own son into his own establishment, and teach him bis own trade because "the plumbers' union only allows two apprentices in the state from a certain district." If there were no plumbers' unions to keep up' wages plumbers might not be so anxious to, have their sons learn the trade. Stockholders' Meeting. ".
