The disastrous floods in the Ohio river nowadays can be attributed to the wholesale destruction of timber in the mountains of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky more than to any other cause. Shawneetown, in Illinois, recently swept away by the floods, was one of the oldest towns in the state. When It was started, more than one hundred years ago, the for ests were intact and the floods of re cent years were unknown. All of which should warn us of Hood River valley to guard with unceasing vigi lance the forests at the head of our valley, that they may not be destroyed in any manner. In them lies our Im munity from floods and the source of an unfailing water supply. The average voter should care noth ing about the political complexion of the candidate for a local office. It is merely a business position, requiring a bright, intelligent, honest business man, who will serve the peoplenot a partyj and the number of voters who desire and will try to secure such men, regardless of their politics, is rapidly increasing. The partisan newspapers that assume and urge that one set of candidates possess all the political and public virtues and the other set of can didates none, are deserving of public contempt and derisiou. Sunday Wel come. The president is being severely crit icised by some even of his own party lcause he does not take more radical grounds in 'his message to congress, while others regard it as fortunate that we have a conservative chief magis trate. Home of us can remember how President Lincoln was denounced for not prosecuting the war against the confederacy on lines advocated by the jingoes of that day. But Lincoln's work shows up all right in the history 'of our civil war; not many are found dissatisfied with it today. Referring to the employment of Judge Bennett in the latest suits brought by the Eastern Oregon Land Co. against settlers in Sherman coun ty, the Moro Observer truthfully states that Judge Bennett is almost certain to be ou the right side.' He has never taken sides in a case to oppress the people. The Outlook for Strawberries. Hood River, April 12, 1898. Editor Glacier : The following shows the acreage, condition of berries and ex pected crop of strawberries in the berry sections of Arkansas and Missouri, us reported by the unions at the different places mentioned. Every place in these' berry growing sections has u union by which all the .berries grown are shipped: Van Bureu, Ark., April 4. Vines in good condition; estimate 90 to 95 per cent of full crop; acreage a little over 8,000. Avoca, Ark. Have 150 acres; ship ped 25 curs last year; planting 100 acres more this year. Oartield, Ark. The drouth last fall killed 30 or 40 per cent of our vines. The Benton county fruit growers and shippers' union shipped 23 cars last year, but will not have so many this year. Fayetteville, Ark. We had 160acres last year and shipped 16 cars; now have 400 acres and expect 40 cars this season. Will have 750 acres next year. Peaches are killed and apples badly damaged by frost: ' Rogers, Ark. Our union shipped 23 cars last year; will ship 35 cars this year; have 500 acres in berries. ,The drouth last fall damaged our crop. There are four other unions within 20 miles of us that will ship over 100 cars. The late frost damaged the crop in the Van Buren district about one-third. They are 75 miles south of us. Our peaches are ruined by frost. Rudy, Ark. Late frost damaged berry crop from 5 to 25 per cent, peach- es and cherries almost, a total loss; ap ples damaged 50 per cent, but will have more berries than ever before. Last year we shipped 20 cars; this year will have 30 to 40. Our yield runs from 50 to 100 cases per acre. Springfield, Mo. We shipped 15 cars last year; will ship more this year. The berry district in Southwest Mis souri and Northwest Arkansas last year shipped 600 cats and will ship 800 this year. We must bear in mind that these frosts in California, Missouri and Ar kansas have hurt berries that come in before our crop, and a frost that comes in other sections at the time our berries jure in bloom would cut the supply short that would come' in when our berries are on the market. From all reports received the quality of the ber lies of these sections will not be as good us last year, as it requires from 30 to 40 per cent more acreage to make the same output as last year. N. C. Evans, - Sec'y Hood River F. G. U. Ireland's Compliments. Moro Observer. .. Presumably the political conventions have now all been held in Sherman county for 1898, with the single excep tion of the adjourned democracy. Look ing at it from a clearly unselfish and unprejudiced standpoint, the Observer is reminded of an incident that is re lated of the dying days of Thomas Hood. He had long been the victim j of consumption and whs much emac iated. "Ah, dear," he one day naid to j his wife, when she in compliance with 1 the doctor's orders was putting a plas-1 ter on his wasted form, "did you ever ' see so much mustard to so .little meat j before?" I Hood River Prunes. W. P. Watson in Pacific Farmer. In the fall prior to the mid-winter fair in California I went to Portland and spent a week trying to enthuse our fruit friends to make an exhibltof such products as I thought we might suc ceed with at the fair. Failing in my enterprise, I returned to my Hood River home, determined on an indi vidual exhibit. I gathered apples with great care, then my prunes three va rieties, Silver, Italian and French, or petite. I let the former hang on the trees until the IGth day of October. The specimens selected were well shriv eled about the stem end and were as sweet as honey, so I knew there was all the saccharine matter possible bot tled up in them, and concluded, as they were not to go into bulk, I could chance them for the purpose. I wanted to have them plump and fat. Curing them slowly and very carefully,I never saw their equal. So I was happy and went loaded to take the local conceit out of some of my California prune friends, at least. . Spent a week in San Jose. My land lord introduced me to an editor whose wife was a Southern lady, from Jack son, Miss. She was a very intellectual writer and had given a series of articles comparing Mississippi with California as a home place, leaning a little to Cal ifornia, as it was her home. I said to her that I had brought along some fruit to advertise my adopted state and my home at Hood River in particular. "Oh, SHid she, "we freely admit you can excel in large, red apples, but you are too far north to ever grow prunes successfully; in fact, it is not important, hs Santa Clara county can grow prunes to supply all of North America." I modestly inquired if she had any speci mens handy. "Oh, yes," said she; "we always have them on hand to show what we can do In that line." She pro duced a fair sample of the little dried petite. "Madam, is this a fair sample of your Santa Clara product?" "Yes, indeed, these beat the world. No place on the continent can equal California for prune crowing." I waited patient ly until she was fairly committed, as I did on several other occasions, when half a dozen or more prune growers were present pursuing the same tactics. "By the way," said I, "I have some specimens along, V disclosing from my hand grip some of my big fat silver prunes, at least three times as large as were shown me. "Well, well; did those prunes grow in Oregon?" ........ "Yes." 'Are you sure of it?" "Quite sure; in fact, these specimens were taken from the identical trees that I sent limbs two feet long resembling a bunch of bananas to Chicago and took the premium against I he world. If you doubt it, I have a photo of some along taken at Chicago, sent me by Mr. Lewis, our agent, making three exhib its and taking three premiums." '' . I pursued like tactics on several occa sions with like results. I felt amply rewarded in taking the local conceit out of several California fruitgrowers, even at an individual cost of $260, besides bringing many fruits to Oregon. Be fore we took leave of our editorial friends I divided my samples with them, with the request to cook the samples, and when culling on vus at our hotel next day, tell me what they thought of Oregon prunes. She did so aud said they surpassed any prunes she ever sampled simply wonderful. Now to the sequel. Our landlord ac companied us to the train and said, "Do you know what your editorial friends did with the finest of the big prunes you gave them?" "Ate them.of course." "They sent them to their home editor at Jackson, Miss., as a fair sample of Santa Clara county grown prunes." Good enough. Just like Californians. If we meet again I shall say shake. Before leaving the fair grounds I was astonished at the exhibit simply won derful. Meeting quite a number of prominent fruitgrowers together, I re marked: "Allow me to make this state ment, after over 50 years' experience. You can challenge the world in, Cali fornia for the production of sugar-sweet prunes; but you bve not a square rod of ground in your lovely sunshine state that can ever grow an acid or sub-acid prune to compete with or drive from our market foreign importations. It remains for Western Oregon and West ern Washington, which sections alone in all North America have all the con ditions a peculiarly cool, mpist mean temperature, just adapted to the pro duction of acid and sub-acid prunes. All large prunes are acid or sub-acid." Mr. Ernest Gerichten and Miss Ber tha Buchler, second daughter of Mr. August Buchler, were married in The Dalles on Easter. Educate Your Howels With Cascarets.
