The Fruit Growers' Meeting. General satisfaction is expressed at the reult of the meeting of the stock holders of the Hood River Fruit Grow ers' Union, lust Saturday, which was successful in harmonizing the different factions. There was a large attend ance, and all seemed to be there for harmony. From the secretary's report we gather the following statistics of the work of last year: Numberof crates of strawber-' berries hamlicd by union... 10,885 Black berries 156 Prunes 1,272 Boxes pears .... 1,189 Apples ! 501 Cherries............... 230 Quinces ' 14 Peach plu ins 10 Crab apples ' '7 Gross sales strawberries ...$22,064 63 Cherries 135 25 Blackberries and peach plums 181 73 Prunes and pears..... 1,867 82 F. 6. b. sales apples 325 00 Quinces and crab apples 26 25 Crate charges on strawberries 1,496 14 Crate and box charges on prunes, pears, blackberries, cherries and peach plums...

Savage, Morton, Evans, Luckey, Neff, Castuer and Davidson were elected. , Resolutions for inspection of berries in packing houses, charging a per cent on collections, sending a representative to Portland to attend the fruit growers' association and for the union to handle all fruits in their season were carried unanimously. The board of directors organized by electing J. W.Morton, president; J. J. Luckey, vice president; N. C Evans, secretary; G. R. Castner, treasurer. Any grower desiring to necome a stockholder in the union can get one share by applying to the secretary and paying $1 for the same. :. . Mr. Samuel Winans brought to the Gi.acjek office during the week an old relic in the shape of a-copy of the Duchess Free Press, published at Potighkeepsie, New York, August 9, 1843; F. V. Ritter, editor. The paper Is well preserved. The spelling is old style, and the editor emphasized his points by the frequent use of italics. Seven columns are taken up with rem iniscences of Napoleon. A story occu pies one and one-half columns. Three columns are devoted to news (15 days later) from Europe, China and the Sandwich Islands.' Three columns of editorials discuss politicks from a democrat ick republican and statts rights standpoint and assail Henry Clay, who was then being groomed for his third race for the presidency by the whig party, and whose defeat again followed in 1844. The Free Press con tended that Clay, if a candidate for the Ihiid time, would carry about three states Kentucky, Vermont and "Lit tle Rhody." - The Dufur Dispatch favors the hold ing of a county convention at Dufur of all parties opposed to the gold standard, to put up a ticket for county officers, and nominates I. D. Driver of Wamic for sheriff. Mr. Driver is. a broi her -of T. J. Driver, our present sheriff, and being the white sheep of that repub. lican family, is therefore the best. J.;" C. Snodgrass, writing to the Ore gonial), claims to be a "tariff, gold standard democrat." He must belong to the same party with John L. Smith of Portland, who for the past 25 years has come out for the republican nom inee at every presidential election, claiming to be a "life-long democrat." Counterfeit $100 silver certificates, very skilfully executed, are in circula tion. Country editors had better care-: fully scrutinize all $100 bills before making change for subscriptions.

The attention of the people of Hood River is called to the above report of the librarian of the public library. It will be remembered that this library" was founded about three ears ago by the secret societies and church organ izations of Hood River. Each associa tion, by virtue of the payment of a -brarv membei'shiu fee (50 cents') for its resident members, respectively, became entitled to a representation upon the library board. lo this board Is in trusted the management of the library affairs. The first year many of the or ganizations responded liberally. A' large board was the consenuence, with a considerable sum of money at its dis posal, which was expended in the pur chase of books and for current ex penses. The second year less interest whs manliest, and last year but three or four of the secret societies were rep resented on the-board." Tins year, so far, the writer does not know of any representatives having been elected. , A public library is always a com mendable institution, and that interest in this one is waning is to be deplored. We have here the nucleus of a library of which any village of the population ot Hood River might .well be proud. As shown by the above report ot the librarian, "there are now on the shelves of the library 719 volumes. Among them may tie lound many valuable contributions to the literature of the world. The Encyclopaedia Brittanica alone makes a complete library. There are also historical works, ancient and modern volumes on rcliinon and sci ence, and many biographies. Among the latter such a work as "riutareh's Lives of Illustrious Men." Those seeking lighter reading may find the standard works Thackerey, Scott, Ueorge illiot, JUumas, Dickens, Irving and. Cooper; also, such later popular novels as "Hen Hur" and the "fair God," by Wallace, ''Lorna DoOne" and "Springhaven," by Blackmoor, and many others not less interesting. Near ly ail the standard poets are repre sented. . While it was the intention of the founders of this library that its control and management should remain with the. society '.organizations spoken of above, individuals oulside of such so-. cieties may become members of the li brary Willi the privileges of such 'mem bership for the period of one year by paying to (he librarian a membership fee. This fee paid by the head of a family entitles 'each member of that family to like privileges with himself. This is certainly liberal enough, it is to be hoped that there may be a revival of interest in the library') both by the societies and individuals, at least to a sufficient extent that money may be raised to pay the debt of $19.60 now due the librarian, and to provide for the care of the library during the year 1898. , ' J.

The old style of portraying famous people through a "sketch" or "biogra phy" is to be modernized in The Ladies' Horrie Journal during 1898. Five of the most prominent Americans have been chosen for Die departure: Pres ident JSleKinW, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark Twain, Joseph Jefferson and Thomas A lliitison. IDach will have a special article, which will consist of about fif teen or iwenty fresh, . unpublished stories and anecdotes strung together, each anecdote showing some char acteristic trait or presenting a different side of the subject.' The idea is to show famous personalities through their own doings and sayings, and to make these articles accurate the relatives and closest personal friends of the subjects have assisted and given to the Journal the best stories and anecdotes within their own knowledge. Each article will thus represent the closest view of the one sketched. No authorship will be attached to any of the articles. Fat Hogs. The regular' session of the Ancient Order of Prevaricators was about to close on . the third degree when the Worshipful Grand Chief Prevaricator arose and said: "Brothers You have well and ably discussed the subject of the evening, Fat Hoys. You iiave drawn rich treasures from the exhaust- less store houses of your infinitely fer tile imaginations. But you . know nothing about the subiect. I pledge you my word and honor that when I was a lad, back in Missouri, oerore tue war, the hogs used to get so fat that at killing time we had to prod them with a sharp stick to see which end the squeal would come out or that we miglitjoiow where to butcher them." Then the W. G. C. P. kicked the ven erable spitoon to i(s normal place be hind the stove, while the brethren passed out silently and solemnly into the stilly night. Crook County Journal. .''' Whence Came the Cereals? Wheat, barley,' corn and buckwheat cannot and will not grow -wild. Other vegetables may live, but these wou't. Now comes the practical question: 'Where did wheat, barley, corn and rye come from? Who first planted them?' ..,' .' "There is only one logical deduction, and that is: God sent them here to keep us out of mischief. After Adam had sinned he was led out of Paradise and then Gd said to him: 'Stretch forth thine hand,' and he stretched it forth; and then into the palm of that hand God put his treasures; just a fow grains of wheat and bailey and rye and oats, and then God pointed to these seeds and to the ground, and thundered out his judgment : 'Now, go and dig and plant,' and the human race has been at farming. ever since. And for 6,000 years man has had to fight for his daily ' bread, and J he groans : which have gone up from famine-struck Rus sia and India and Ireland were merely ' "Oh, I know that Robert G. Ingersoll and his devotees believe in evolution, and pooh-pooh the story of the Garden of Eden, and think that primeval man was only a brute roaring and bellowing through t he entangled forests, and that we once crawled on all fours and still have a stunted tail at the end of our backbone, and that the muscles of our ears are only a little stiffened and used to work backward and forward when the donkey brayed and that if we should go' into the, wilds of Africa and shoot a .baboon we would be killing one of the descendants of our great-great-grea'-grandmother and that God, when he made man, merely took a monkey and scraped off his hair and put him in trousers and gave him a pipe to smoke. ' "'In the face of all evidence, this can not be. From out of the grave clothes of mummies, thousands of years old, the descendants of those first seeds have dropped just as perfect as they are to day. . Where did they come from?

We wish to assure you that our policy of CLOSE PRICES FOR CASH is a permanent de parture from the time-honored methods of the trade. We are not giving any catch prices in these columns, but every article in our line, except patent medicines, will be discounted to the cash pur chaser. About patents we have our own peculiar views and will explain them to any customer who is desirous of knowing them. The idea oftwo prices may be distasteful to some who might otherwise be customers, to whom we only can say, that in a drug store experience of 13 years we have failed to arrive at a policy which would be just to all save, by the exclusively cash system. , This being manifestly impossible, we are trying the next best thing. We cannot promise to continue this list beyond the sundries de partment for the reason that several items have to be taken into account when we come to drugs, especially liquids.
