It isn't wife to believe one-half the reports you read about rich strikes mude by those who went to Klondike only last summer. Many of these sto ries are highly colored in the interest of the transportation companies. These companies have recently raised the fare to Skagvvay and other points in Alaska and have about the .only dead sure thing on making anything out of the stampede to the" Klondike. A man who is making a living for himself and family and is established in a good home bud better stuy away from Klon dike. Among the tliousunds who will rush off to Alaska and- undergo the hardships in that miserable climute for. the sake of gold, a few only will strike it rich while the great -majority will return poorer than when they went. A young man even wflhout family, if he has any prospect at all for employ ment at home, is a fool to rush off to Klondike and deprive himself of all the comforts of civilization in the t-earch for riches that, in the doubtful event of his obtaining them, may take wings and disappear in aday. The road to Klondike is a hard road to travel, and many who start for that land of golden promise will never reach it. Still, if the writer was not an old man racked with rheumatism and other ills, he would find a way to get there yes, he would be there now. The prospects are bright for Hood River having a Klondike next summer iu our strawbeny crop. i The growers will be-uniied in shipping the "crop, something that has not happened for several years. And this of itself means better prices. Many sections of coun try that heretofore have competed with Hood River in shipping straw berries have found so little money in it that they , are going but of business. Our Montana markets, for this reason, should be better than for years. The Klondike excitement will give us a good market at Seattle. The trans- Missi-'sippi fair will bring thousands of people to Omaha in time to sample our strawberries, aud Omaha ' will want our berries by the train load every day. Everything seems to be coming the strawberry grower's way this season, and he should make the most of it. The wist; man will take the best of care of his plants and help them along in every possible way., to increase their yield of superior fruit; and as soon as the ground is fit to work he will set all the plants he has room for up to the first of April. Good strong plants set in the spring, if not too late, will bring returns the same season. Fourteen department stores in Den ver combined to boycott the newspa pers to compel them to reduce adver tising rates 30 per cent. The fight stirred up the community greatly, the result being that the stores were almost forsaken by purchasers and the propri etors had to surrender or go out of business. Labor unions held meeting after meeting to contrive plans to cpread the agitation and keep the peo ple away from the department stores, and the proprietors were finally com pelled to pny the newspapers their reg- ular rates for advertising. While the department stores were whipped the newspapers and the labor unions should have kept up the good fight and run them out of business. No combina tions of capital are more detrimental to a community than the department stores have proved themselves to be. The fact that they pay starvation wages to their employes and shut out hun dreds of smaller stores makes them the . deadly enemies of trades unions. All thereat newspapers' of the country pay good wages, but had the depart ment stores succeeded in reducing the advertising rates of the Denver papers, wages 'of employes on . these papers would also have been reduced, or the . newspapers would have gone out of business. In another column we print the ex plauation of the Times-Mountaineer, telling why Hood River was not given a place in the sou venir edition of that paper. We believe there was no in cliiiation on the part of Mr. Douthit to slight Hood River. Evidently the man who was here in the interest of the souvenir edition during our fair didn't work with 'much zeal. He never called upon the Glacier, cer tainly the first place a newspaper man would have thought of calling. The first, intimation we ever had of his be . ing here was when we read of it iu last Friday's Mountaineer. ", . Bats are good insect catchers.

Some time ago a shipment of ore frorn McCallister's mi nes on the Oehoco was made to the Tacoma Smelting Works by M. A. Moore, and returns have just been received. A ton of ore was sent and from it '48 in gold and $7.70 in silver was secured and after deducting the cost at the smelting works and freight the sum ot 3a6 44 was realized and Mr. Moore received a cjirck for that amount.

' (Concluded from last week) When 1 again saw the earth, man bad begun to tame animals, to clothe himself iu skins, to understand the use of fire and to dwell together In tribes. I caught interesting glimpses of Chal dea, Assyria, Media, Babylonia and Persia, as they each gradually unfold ed, developed, rose to power and fell into decay, each succeeded in turn by the next, which would in turn carry its development a little further than its predecessor; - Last came' Persia, who, when she had become mistress of Asia, sent her teeming millions rolling toward Europe. I watched a reat Persian army march westward, won dering as to its destination, until It reached the shores of the Aegan sea, when the brightest gem in all the earth's crown of jewels, the hills and isles of classic Greece, burst upon my view. Alas! I thought, the scourge of Asia is at ner doors. Soon there was a marshaliug of hosts on the plains of Marathon, and' I saw, with wonder and amazement, tnat great irersian army driven back into the sea by Mil tiades and his little army of Athenians. And again 1 saw a mighty Persian host mudly hurling its legions against the heroic little hand with which Leon das was holding the pass of Ther mopylae, Dut only to recoil troin eacn onslaught in- that narrow pass with ranks shattered , to fragments like breakers against a rock-bound coast. And when the Persians, by means of Hie traitor's pasf, naa thrown an army in their rear, I saw the remnant of that heroic little band of Spartans who scorned to fly and would not yield, make their last stand on that heroic mound and bravely give up their lives rather than betray the trust imposed in them by their country, thus' leaving behind them a record of undying fame to all after ages. On swept the great hosts, engulfing devoted little Athens and leaving death and ruin'in their track. Soon a great' fleet of Persia's snake- pi owed galleys closed down on Salamis, completely hemming . in the small Greek fleet which lay there. But the tiger was at bay, and as I gazed, spell bound, at the great fleet going to pieces before, the furious onslaughts of the gallant Greeks, I was aroused by the voice ot my companion, saying, as a slight smile seemed to flit across his countenance, "They seem to have struck hard on the points of old Nep- :i line's indent." jiut a great army yet remained, and it looked as though the lust vestiges of national life would yet be crushed out of t lie Hellenic race. But now I saw a dense little cloud gathering south of Platae that con stantly flashed lightning from a fringe ot burnished shields and pointed spears. This was the little handful of vet mi- conquered Greeks who still defied the great Persian army, and who constant ly grew greater from the very desper ation confronting them. On moved the great army, heaving and swelling like a deep sea wave; and I expected to see the resolute little hand disappear trom sight. But they stood firm as a rock and only slightly recoiled from the shock of the heavier body hurled against them and ylost none ot their compactness or martial array. Just then I descried the beau tiful form of a - young girl on a neigh boring hight. She was clad iu white, flowing garments and waved a shining wand above her bead as she declared, in ringing accents, "The gods decree that Helles shall be free!" Instantly the cry arose among the Greeks, "It is the Oracle of Delphi!" And as the snout roiled along their bristling ranks, that compact phalanx of gleaming spears dashed headlong into the dense uiass ot Persians in front of them, which writhed, shriveled and disap peared before them like leaves before the all-devouring flame. But, turning away trom this scene ot martial glory and horror, my eyes again rested ou peerless little Athens, now rising like a beautiful queen in her transcendant glory and purity, as her beautiful tem ples and sta'uary lay bathed in the rays of a sinking sun: and Hist as his last rays were gleaming from the bur-- nished point ot Minerva's spear that towerea above the top or the Par thenon on the Acropolis, my com panion intimated that as my wishes had been gratified it was time to depart. "But, pray, explain to me. said , I, "the strange phenomena by wnicn l seem to see tne actual occur rence of- events long since passed away." "What you have seen," said he, "was the actual occurrence of the various events as they were taking place. We have simnlv outsned the ,ligbt, and by the quickened sight of tne soul nave looked upon those things 'through the rays ot light that Hashed from the earth at the times of their oc currence." "And you?" said I, much astonished at what I heard. "I was of Helles," said he; "but Apollo awaits nie. Adieu." And as a wild, sweet burst of music tilled my ears and died away in the distance, the form of my companion was waned out ot sight. - . . sd. ' Mr. Bradley has opened the NetT gal lery.
