Hood River Is invited to join with The Dalles in celebrating the 4th of July. The corarulttee extending the invitation probably did not know that Hood River also had a committee at work making arrangements to cele brate at home, with . the promise of a big excursion from Sherman county that will join us and help make the celebration a success. The Wasco peo ple have been invited to bring along their baud, which will be given free entertainment while here. The Isen berg band of Hood River will also fur nish music. If the people of Wasco wish to make their stay with us. for three days, we can assure them they will find something to entertain tbem each day. They will want to take one day to see our valley; the second day, Bu'iday, they can have their choice of three churches where they will hear good sermons; and on the third day, Monday, the 4th, we can all celebrate together. We have the orators with us, and no doubt our Sherman county friends will bring along enough of that kind of material to make up any defi ciency that might occur in the home supply. Everybody is Invited to come. Those who can should bring a well filled lunch basket. The programme will be published next week. Hood River Strawberries are strictly in it this year. Others at a distance are finding out what has been known here for years, that Hood River can beat the world in growing strawberries. R. P. Ober, general agent of the North ern Pacific refrigerator car service, of St. Paul, was In Portland Monday. To an Oregonlan reporter be said there was a big increase of the strawberry shipments from Oregon to Montana, the Dakotns and Minnesota this year. Notwithstanding the higher transpor tation charges from Oregon to Montana, Webfoot . berries compete successfully with the Easterners that come into Minnesota and the Dakotas to meet them. The Oregons stand shipment better, are of richer flavor and more in viting appearance than their competi tors from Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. Mr. Ober yields the laurel, hewever, to the Hood River berry in competition with the whole world, and when to natural excellence is added good transportation facilities, the Hood River strawberry conquers easily, ' The- exposition to be held in Port land this year, opening September 22nd and closing October 22nd, promises to be the largest, best and most successful ever held. There will be given prizes, consisting of cups, medals and diplo mas for all the best and meritorious ex hibits of grain, grasses, fruit, (fresh and preserved) vegetables, etc. Space is free; exhibits will be transported with out cost and there will be no expense to any exhibitor. 'Any one wishing to make exhibits or inquiries concerning the exposition will receive a prompt re ply by addressing the secretary of the Oregon Industrial Exposition, Port laud, Oregon. The president has appointed Jay P. Lucas register of the land office at The Dalles and Otis Patterson receiver. Mr. Patterson is editor and proprietor of the Heppner Gazette. We are al ways glad to see a newspaper man get a good office. Editors never get more in the shape of office than they deserve. The retiring officials of The Dalles land office have won the esteem of all who have had dealings with the office du ring their term. Messrs. Moore and Biggs have served longer than the four years they were appointed for, which is proof that their work was well done. 'Antelope still carries the banner as the leading republican precinct in the county. Oeer received 128 votes and King 16 in that precinct. The Oregonlan doevn't often strike back at the little newspapers that keep continually "answering" it, but when it does, in the language of Mr. Dooley, it "crushes 'em at wan blow." Bicycle scorchers and cigarette smok ers are exempt from military duty. A Patriotic Hen. Over In Union county an ambitious hen has produced a war egg which lays every other one so far in the shade, says the Sumpter News. The old lady who owns the aforesaid hen went out one day to gather eggs and found one bearing the cabalistic letters G S H. The find created much excitement among the women of the neighbor hood, and they quickly gathered. Tbey all agreed it was prophetic of some thing, but what, puzzled them. One lady suggested that it meant "Give Sinners Help.'' Another suggested that it meant "God Send Help." Still another said it meanf'God Save Hea thens. Another declared that it meant that "God Sends Harmony." Finally, one old lady noted for her religious de votion, who had been saying little, sprang to her feet and vehemently de clared the letters stood for "Give Spain Hell." All present agreed that her iiilet'pretloii was correct. Retrospection. Hood River, June 8, 1898. Editor Glacier: Permit an old . pioneer to congratulate the people of Hood River through your paper on the fine show ing they are making In homes and farms and fruit culture. Some may think they see hard times, but to us of a past generation we see you far ad vanced in prosperity. We were here from 1864 to 1866, and now, on our present visit, we see great change. The old people are gone and new faces meet us. Before, the adaptability of soil and climate to any Hue of agricultural or horticultural products was an un known quantity. Now, through in telligent experiments, your fruits are widely known and appreciated, and by railroad conveniences even the straw berries are shipped to the Missouri river cities.' Interstate and international commerce, even in perishable articles, has wonderfully changed. In retro spect, our first view of Hood River, in 1844, was under entirely different cir cumstances. . Then it was a land of savages. We did not then think that this land might be a home for civiliza tlon. Our emigration of 1844 was but a handful of Americans, and we had crossed the plains from the Missouri river without seeing a house occupied by a settler of white people. Even forts and missions were rarely seen. The year before, in 1843, the first im migration of : wagons and families, breaking a road 600 miles this side of Fort Hall, commenced that wonderful tide which peopled this coast. There were some white people here before, but not as colonists and settlers. Trap pers, missionaries and adventurers were on this coast. The situation, as told by Rev. Wilson in a speech on Dr. Whitman, shows us that in 1842 there were not more than 150 American men and about 20 white women, mostly missionaries' wives, on this coast. Mi gration still waited. So it is seen that without women, in 1842, an American settlement, as such, could not have ex isted. The families in 1843, having about 80 wagons, was the first of Immi gration proper to Oregon. In 1844 we followed with about 150 wagons. But this was not United States territory, and we were over 2,000 miles away in a strange land. A vague title to Oregon by both the United States and Great Britain gave both governments a joint occupancy here until 1846. When we came, in 1844, we found an actual set tlement by British subjects in the French settlement of the Willamette valley. Could we then hope hat Hood River or any other Pacific lands would be a part of the United States? Parden us for making such a lengthy statement, but we have done so because some now argue that Great Britain did not expect any lands south of the Co lumbia. Really, beractual settlements were south of the Columbia river then, and if the treaty of 1846 had been made in 1842, or even in 1844, she would have gained her line down to Mexico, on the 42d degree of latitude. Our two Immigrations, with thatof 1845 follow ing us with about 600 wagons, so swal lowed up the French prairie that we were in actual possession in 1846, and the treaty gave us Oregon. Thus Hood River is under the Stars and Stripes, with the best government, the greatest privileges and most glorious prospects the world can give. Our party of four men and about 60 head of stock, of the immigration of 1844, came in three days from The Dalles, over Indian trails, but here on Hood river we lost all signs of further trails down the river, so we swam our cattle across the Columbia 'and went down to Fort Vancouver on that side. We were out of provisions here, and it was six days more before we met the families at the Cascades and procured more. The families bad gone down the river. Indians were plentiful and we purchased roots and wormy salmon skins with clothes and trinkets. Be sides, it was in November, with snow and rain In abundance. The party be hind us killed a dog and ate it. Our memory of Hood River was that of pri vation, exposure and danger. Now, peace, plenty and strawberries. Now, the Sabbath rest, cultured society and the good Indian when not intoxicated. Once we were glad to get news of the states once a year. Now, on Hood river, we read the news of the present war and of the world as they do in New York, Loudon, Paris and Hong Kong, as events transpire. You ship your fruits by rapid transit and special care to the markets of the world. I remember in my lifetime when Ohio was the wild West subject to Indian atrocities and the vast plains to the Pacific an unknown home of the ver iest savages, for I was born in 1821. . I shall leave the world with the United States spreading itself with a new pro gressive olicy and Hood River not quite a paradise. T. M. Ramsdell. Kdncat Your llowels With Cwcirau.
