FHI DA V, JuLY 14, 199. Oi:r Sjii-einl Itlitimi. j During the last IV w years Hie Bpecial illuNiriiteil edition of tho loc.il new- impcr hit) become u very 'iitilnt- tins-' 1 i ii lit of Hilverti.sinir the ail vim I ;ig h of cities innl towns ami villages all over I he Wesk'i n Mutes. Home of these Hecliil editions have been gotten up l nn expense of uIiiiobI a Kooil-si.ed for tune ami uie the triumph of the prin ter's and the engraver's rt. 'I hey have hud u eomrmui fault, thotih. The wiiu r of the descriptive articles have Ixeii actuated ly u desdre to boom Mini ut tract immigration to their re gpei tivc i i'ii h rather I Man to make un iieeuiide and truthful statement of facts. Tlicv have not intended to wil fully Misrepresent mutters, hut have lillownl tlnir imaginations to guide tiieir pens ijuite us much, if not more, than their eyes. They huve talked of prospective industries us having been already established; ihcy have describ ed the cities of the future as pictured by their enthusiasm, rather than the tow ns of the present; they have trans formed detriments into beuellts, and have devoted their attention to draw lug conclusions rat her than to staling premises. Tiie (! lacier has endeavor ed to avoid this common error by con lining the descriptive article contained In this special write up to a plain state ment of fads. The leader can rest us aun d Unit llie industries described are actually being operated, that the yields of strawberries, grain and other crops reported are matters of record. The OLACIKIt does not claim that Hood River valley is the Utopia where fann ers prosper without work. It does not claim that tlte town of Hood River will ever be n New York or n Chicago, where enormous profits can lie made in real estate iavtstments in a single day, week or year. It does, however, claim and Hi-ri, without fear of successful contradiction, that Wasco county in general and Hood River valley in particular has been ble-sed by the '.'rea tor of the Universe with remarkably favorable conditions for the pursuit of agriculture ami horticulture, and that the town of Hood River is advanta geously located and has most excellent prosptctsof becoming the largest city in Wasco county. If any Eastern reader is attracted by the town or country de scribed in thesa columns, the Ulaciek invites and urges him to come and in spect them, with the assurance that lie will not be disappointed. It is right and proper before proceeding further to oiler a word of udvice to readers: There Is at present no special demand for la borers, the strawberry-picking having been finished for this season, though most sober and Industrious men can tind some kind of employment at fair wages. There are very few openings for farmers without any capital, as most of the desirable government land in this vicinity has been taken up. What is needed here now Is capital and the men who have a little can flail plenty of openings in Hood River valley. Good farms can be bought on reason able terms and, if properly managed, will pay big dividends. There are in dustries which will enrich the men who founded them. The object of this edition, therefore, is not to attract an influx of laborers and impecunious farmers, but to call the attention of well-to-do people to the advantages which Hood River lni3 to offer, with the hope that they will be induced to coineuud look over the field themselves. The enterprising managers of the O. It. tt N. company have been spend ing, during the past year, a big sum of money in reducing the curves In the road and otherwise improving their route along the Columbia river. The extreme ruggedness of the Cascade mountains through which this road passes makes work of this kind very ex pensive, but with such improvements 1 lie time between Portland and Eastern points v ill be considerably shortened llie one great item for the freight and passenger interests in this age of rapid tn.nsit. Portland is the chief shipping point for grain, the principal product of the Northwest, as is evidenced by the expoit statistics, which show that of the wheat and flour shipped from Ore gon and Washington during the year ending June 30, 1899, Port laud sent out over 05 per cent. The resources of the Northwest are al most unlimited, ami with the already perceptible increase of trade between the United States and Asiatic ports, the O. R. & N., the chief outlet for the products of E astern Oregon and Wash ington, ought to become one of the best paying railroads in the country. The administration beard from Ore gon, and the Second Oregon regiment will not be mustered out at San Fran cisco. The regiment will come to-Astoria on the transport on which they crossed the Pacific and will be met by river boats from Portland and escorted up the Columbia liver to Portland by a tleet of river boats loaded with the friends of the boys. The regiment will be mustered out at Vancouver Barracks. The deaths in tiie Oregon regiment number 59. Fifteen were killed in battle. . The last Oiegou b gislatuic passed a registry law, which will be in force in our e'tti'tioiiq next year. Under th!w law un official will be in each precinct I at a specified lime to receive each Ual-' ifled voter's name, age, occupation, ; height, weight, color of hair and eyes, , previous occupation, place of birth, where Lorn' and other points that will lend to prevent the casting of illegal, votes. If a voter fails to register lie j will not lie allowed to cast bis ballot ut any general election In the state. The Oregon volunteers ure nearing home. The people of the state will give them u warm welcome, hut the whole country is equally under obliga tions to the Oregon volunteers for their faithful and patriotic services. Their claims to public gratitude rest not only on their bravery In battle, for this Is ex peeled of American soldiers; but they are founded also on the loyalty with which they endured the hard marches, under tropical suns, in the jungles of the i'hilippines beyond the time for which they had agreed to serve. They remained in the field un complainingly until others could be sent to relieve them. All honor to the boys of the Second Oregon. Their welcome home cau nut be tiiado too impressive We acknowledge the receipt of a ticket to attend tiie sixth annual as sembly of the Willamette Valley Chau tauqua association at Gladstone 1'ark (Oregon City) July IS UO, Inclusive. The coming assembly promises to be the best ever held ut Gladstone l'urk. The programme is more varied, the talent is of the highest order, and everything that the most liberal ex penditure of means could suggest has been done for the success of the present year. The ministers and 3.12 others of Mc Minnville protested against the nation al editorial association visiting that town on Sunday. They are a God fearing people in old Yamhill and would rather be right than to see the big editorial show. The teachings of our neighbor and ex-pounderof the Gospel, Dr. W. L. Adams, in early days, are still bearing good fruit. College professors may talk .about changing the name of our country, but it will be a long time before a name with such a total lack of euphony as Usona will be adopted. We areenough of un expansionist to protest against the abbreviation of United States of America. Prof. C. K. Gilbert, the famous geog rapher of the geological survey, says that in about 2.000 years the Illinois river and the Niagara will -curry equal portions of the surplus waters of the great lakes, and in 3,000 years there will be no Niagara. Ten thousand men have already vol unteered to accept commissions in the provisional army for the Philippines, enough to oflicer an army of 250,000 men. There would he no trouble to raise armies if all could go as officers. There is danger that when the boys come home the patriotism engendered by their grand reception will not only make us solidly in favor of the war in the I'hilippines, but we may favor the next war. The Dalles Chronicle this week gives a very creditable write up of The Dalles and its business men. The skeleton regiments ought to be the thing for the tropical Philippines. The latest views attributed fo Dewey make him an anti-expansionist. Reception of the Hood River Soldiers. The committee of arrangements to meet the returning soldiers of the Sec ond Oregon met at A. O. U. W. hall, July 8th. The chairman reported that the O. It. & N, could not give a low rale to Portland to meet the hoya because they did not have rolling stock enough to carry all of Eastern Oregon. It was agreed that an arch be built, with appropriate motto and decoration, and that carriages be provided to i-ou-vey the returning soldiers, escorted by a delegation of the G. A. R. and W. It, C, with the near relatives of the sol diers, to a suitable place where a ban quet will be spread and speeches of welcome made. The big cannon will belch forth greeting. it was decided to call a special meet ing of Can by post when the news is re ceived of the arrival of the Second Ore gon at San Francisco. The sub-committees will then tie enlarged by the addition of names of citizens. When it is known about what time to exjieet the transports to arrive at Astoria, the members of the G. A. R. will make their way to Portland and join with the posts of that city in t lie excursion to Astoria. All others who wish to go to Portland to witness the grand reception to Oregon's brave soldiers will govern themselves accordingly. Every house in Hood River is ex pceteil to display flags and bunting when the boys come home. It will be a great day for Hood River, and every one will he proud to help make It a great day. Five sub-committees were appointed, as follows: Committee on Programme M. P. Isenbeig, Mrs. Carrie Bailey, T. J. Cunning. Music Mis. Agnes Cunning, who will appoint her assistants.

Strawberry shipments have alout ended,for this season; the total Miip ments to date amounting to37,i)(j2eratc;-i, a little over that of last year. This, though, does not include shipments by boat. The Davidson cannery has used to date some where near 2,000 crates, which brings the total prod act for this year up to about 40,000 crates. These 40,000 crates brought into the vidley about $70,000 as net shipping returns, and, after allowing for picking and hoxes.farmei'B have realized about $40, 000 net for their strawberries. In copying the daily shipments of strawberi'ies we failed to get the num ber of crutcs in several consignments that went by freight, so the revised table this week brings the total consid erably above that given last week.
