The advice is good so far as it goes. Farmers and fruit growers of; Hood River should also raise more clover and hoi?s, beef cattle and poultry. There is no excuse now not 10 plant timothy and clover, corn for fodder, and other forage crops. We have plenty of irri gating ditches, and if water is consid ered too expensive at $5 an inch, we can build reservoirs and learn to econ omise in the use of water.-. The com munication referred to contains other matter that is not calculated to har monize differences Vnow in the way of the strawberry, grower's success, and we deline to publish it. --.t .'., , Hon. W. R. Dunbar of Goldendale lias been appointed register of the U. S. land office at Vancouver, Wash. His appointment gives general satis faction within his party, as it will with every person who knows the new ap pointee. ... Mr. Dunbar has been a resi dent of Goldendale ' for the past 19 years and Is at present U. S. laud com missioner for the district of Washing ton. He is already conversant .with the work of the land office, and no bet ter appointment could have been made. mo use oi ine lanioruia appie uox in place of the standard Oregon apple box is being recommended by fruit growers. It is a little longer, a little narrower and not quite so deep as the Oregon box. ' It does hot hold quite so much fruit and does not require as large apples for four-tier packing as the Oregon box.. The trade does not dis- unguisn ueiweeu me uoxes, ana cue advantage is therefore on the side of the California box. The Rural Northwest of March 15th gives notice that iu its next issue the subject of evaporating prunes will be taken up for discussion and continued through the issues . of the summer months. 'Any prune grower who is Hot familiar with what has already ap peared in that paper ou the subject of curing prunes will surely find these ar ticles worth more than the cost of a year's subscription. Open to Settlers. Washington, D. (J., March 16, 1898. Mr. A. S. Blowers, Hood River, Or. My Dear Sin I presented the petition yesterday which you forwarded me, together with the maps and illustra tions, as to the necessity of having a township of land therein specified ex cluded from the Cascade forest reserve. After a conference with the commis sioner of the general land office, and going carefully over the whole matter, he decided to exclude the west half of the township, which will take in all of the settlers. I really believe this will be better for them than to have the whole township excluded, as under the rules promulgated by the department, they will be permitted to use the other half for pasturage without any restric tion, and as it cannot be taken up for settlement It will remain there subject to their use. I am very glad indeed to have accomplished this, as I feel that it is something that will very materially aid in the settlement of that section of the country, and the settlers on the territory referred to were surely en titled to be excluded from the reserva tion. Yours very truly, W. R. Ellis. ';' Assessment for 1897. . Hood River, March 21, 1898. Ed itor Glacier: 'During' the last Jew days I have frequently been informed, "You must have made a mistake in my assessment of last year." Let me make a few statements in justice to myself, as well as explain the matter. No assessment was changed by me after leaving the person or persons as sessed, and was returned by me to the county assessor, Mr. Whipple, in this condition.. Nearly nil were satisfied with their; usf-cssmrn ts and informed me to this effect. ' I had the assess ments of 1896, and, with but few ex ceptions, t lie assessments were the same. When nearly through my work as assessor, I compared my work wit fi I Mr. Whipple, the county assessor, who ! said, "You , have assessed about the Same as I have, and I think It is a fair listing." I am informed some of tbe taxes are more than one-third higher than 1896. This upward tendency in taxes conies from "the powers that be," the equalization board, and to them must the overtaxed look for redress or explanation and not to me. I well know some of tbe taxes are unreason able and unjust. C. J. Hayes. The Three Conventions. A . The three conventions held in The Dalles last Saturday agreed to fusion. A conference committee of three from each convention apportioned the coun ty offices, and nominations were made as follows: Democrats For sheriff, I. D. Driver of Wamic; commissioner, F. M. Jack son of Hood River;, coroner, J. H. Jackson of The Dalles. ' ; Silver Republicans For clerk, M. J. Anderson of Dufur. ; Populists For assessor, J. H. Al di'ieh of Cascade Locks; school super intendent,' P. P. Underwood of Boyd; treasurer, W. H. Arbuckle of The Dalles. '' ... : : . -' ,' - The platform was submitted by a joint committee and adopted by each convention. It calls for, first, financial reform; second, direct legislation through the operation of the optional form; third, reduction of expenditures. Mr. J. L. Henderson of Hood River offered the following resolution, which was adopted by unanimous vote of tbe joint convention: iiesolved. That this convention of the silver forces of Wasco county docs hereby express deep sympathy with the liberty loving and persecuted in habitants of the island of Cuba in their heroic effort to throw off the cruel and inhuman yoke of cpain. That we be lieve the time has come when "old ulory" should float along side with the banner of the patriots, and that the freemen of these United States should rally under dual folds for the purpose not only of placing Cuba upon the firm basis of a republic, but for the further purpose of demanding of Spain repara tion for the lives of our A mericau sea men lost at the blowing up of our battle-ship Maine, That we expect of our national government a strong foreign policy in the premises, and to this end we pledge our undivided support, whether with ballots or bullets, if de manded at the call of the president and congress of the United States. , ' " NOTES. " ' - The ticket contains two Confederate and one Union soldier. , ; Capt. Jackson received all the votes of the convention for the nomination for commissioner except 5, j The Hood River delegations to the populist convention contained some of its most efficient workers. ' Mr.'H. 8. Turner, editor of the Dufur Dispatch, was the most jovial as well as useful member in the populist con vention. -..-, A Geo. Tyrell, delegate at large to the triple convention, was the only Palmer and Buckner gold-bug populist in at tendance. . ... . -. .,: , .., . , , '. ,. Mr. John L. Henderson of Hood River took a leading part in the dem ocratic convention and was rewarded by being sent as a delegate to the state convention. Mr. R. Ei Van Vector, who presided over the temporary orunnissatinn of the democratic convention, is a young man who gives promise of becoming a lead er of his party in the county and state. When democrats, populists and sil ver republicans can sleep together their union is complete. This was .done in the Umatilla house when the delegates stayed up all night to catch the early train and dozed In their chairs around the office stove. , Hon. Thos.' Harlan of Mosier was a silver republican delegate and as such was sent to the state convention. He openly expressed himself as a candi date for congress and was promised the support of his party delegates from Hood River. The work of the democratic nnd sil ver republican conventions was con cluded with dispatch. The populists were long-winded and kept the other conventions waiting on their move ments every time. '1 he orators seem to have left the democrats and gone to me popunsts. ; It was generally remarked that it was the soberest crowd that ever as sembled in convention In The Dalles. One reason for the sobriety so notice able was that there were large delega tions irom i lie apple-growing districts, while the southeastern end of the coun ty was poorly repwsented. Apple eaters have nocravingforardentspirits. The democratic delegate from Viento left orders with the clerk at the Uma tilla house to wake him; for the early train Sunday morning. When he was roused up at 3 o'clock he asked his room-mate to accompany him on the early train, but the latter'declined and turned over for another nap. The train whs fast in the sand and didn't reach The Dalles till nearly 11 o'clock. A delegate from Wamic who came to the democratic convention to help secure the nomination of his neighbor, I. D. Driver, for sheriff, during a lull in the proceedings heard the rumor lhat the conference committee had given the sheriff to the populists. He went out to "see a man," and during his absence the conference committee reported and the work of nominating candidates immediately began, com mencing with the sheriff.' He returned just in time to hear' his old neighbor thank the convention for the nom ination. '. : ; ;, Republican Primaries.

Last fall it was $1.25 per. cord and no demand for it even at that price, but now the steamer is paying $2 on the dock here and scows are paying from $1.50 to $1.75. The price paid for cutting in the woods has also advanced and is now 80 and 90 cents per cord. There is a good demand for wood east of the mountains now and not very much being-cut. Skamania Pioneer. Some Plain Truths. ( t ' ; . ' Pacific Farpier. There is a great hue and cry raised by'the press of this country because the orchardists of Germany have compelled their government to exclude American fruit, trees and shrubs, because of the San Jose scale. In looking over these papers we find them to lie among the most-outspoken during our own cam paign for a high protective tariff and the exclusion, of everything -foreign, some of them even by a prohibitive duty. The newspaper fraternity should have a little more consistency about it. We do not 'blame the Germans in the least tor this move. Every one knows that the scale is being ' scattered to every' little corner of the country, and that it Is only controlled by the most persistent efforts of the best skilled horticulturists, rir They also know that ,to quarentine against.it is of but little use as it has entered into every State In this union, no matter how strong and strictly enforced the- horticultural regulations. The German government probably does not care to establish and maintain a quarantine station to disin fect every pound of fruit that crosses their border. It is sufficient for them to know tiiat the pest is here and that it is getting I worse year by year, and that if it once gets a foothold with them it will do the same thing, : This government draws a dead line around a city affected with small pox, a dis trict affected with Texas fever, or for other cause that necessity seems to de mand, especially as long as the cause is on the increase. The American people as a rule are entirely . too careless and dishonest in .many matters for their own good. When ttiey- will quit butchering their 'hogs to save them after they see cholera is in the herd; when they stop shipping to foreign markets oieo for butter; when they sell filled cheese for filled cheese instead of full cream; when they pack and ship clean fruit instead of pest and fungous covered fruit; in fact when, they stop the "wooden nutmeg" business and al ways deal honestly with their neigh bors, they can expect consideration, and not till then.
