Hood River Town and

The town of Hood River is situated at
the confluence of tho Columbia anu
Hood Ilivers, at an elevation of 103 feet
above the level of the sea. It is U5 miles
east of Portland, on the line of the O. R.

three eontinenUl lines, besides the ad
vantage of steamboat transportation on
the Columbia. The town is delightfully
situated on a gently sloping hillside,

Hood Riveb Valley.
Its northern boundary is the Colum
bia river ; its eastern a high spur or
divide putting out from Mount Hood,
2,000 feet or more in height, admirably
protecting the valley from cold winds in
winter and the hot, destructive winds
in summer that come from tho east; its
western boundary tho timbered slopes
of the Cascade range, while the broad
base of Mt. Hood completely blocks the
valley to the south. Tlie arable portion
of the valley is some twenty miles in
lencth bv an average width of five miles,
or 04,000 acres. Deduct 14,000 acres for
bluffs and tracts too rough for cultiva
tion, and we have 50,000 acres suitable
for tillage. Hood river receives all the
drainage of the north and east side of
Mt. liood, and the melting snows of
summer maintain a large and constant
flow of water. The river has a descent
of over (10 feet to the mile, and a canal
eight miles in length would direct any
portion of its waters to the brow of the
plateau just above the village and 350
feet above the railway lino.
At the present time all the arable
lands on tl.e west side ot Mood river
have irrigation facilities, and a good
commencement has been made on an
irrigation ditch on the east side of the
vallcv that will cover 15,000 acres. In a
brief' time there will not lie a ten-acre
tract in all this district but what may
have its running brook, its fragrant
meadow.
The country adjacent to the upper
reaches of Hood river is covered with
forest growth, and the timber adjacent
to the river has been esumatea as high
as a billion of feet.
Last year were shipped some 37,000
crates, or over one million pounds of
strawberries, which went to Omaha, fet
Paul. Duluth. Denver, Salt Lake and
other markets. There are also about
120,000 standard fruit trees, largely ap
ples, m orchard form.
Such, in brief, are some of the char
acteristics of Hood River Valley ; but
apart from these it has an wsthetic value
that should not lie overlooked. Here
beauty and sublimity are added
wealth of forest and soil. The climate
is most salubrious, the air a luxury to
breathe. The western breezes come fra-
grant with the odors of the pines and
firs of a hundred miles of forest, and
nowhere does the glorious sunlight leav
a warmer blush on fruit and flower than
in this mountain vale. Ascend to the
level of the plateau just above the vil

The fruit products are not limited to
apples and strawberries, but include
pears, peaches, prunes, bhickls-rries and
all varieties of small fruits, while clover

vegetables and garden products succeed
admirably, especially under irrigation.
Six or seven saw mills, three oi which
cut from 50,0U to 150,000 feet of lumber
per day, employing many men, are op
erating in the valley. Tho available
water power is fully 120,000 horse power
and equals that of Sjsikane. Hundreds

Dr. Adams' Views en Prohibition,
Hood Rivkr. Dec. 12, 1899. Editor
Glacikb: In your last issue 1 read with
interest nn article headed "Plea for Pro
hibition." and signed W. P. Watson
Judging from what 1 hear, nineteen out
of twenty w ho read your paper enter a
strong ueniurrer iu jiu. , wun p .
humb v beg to -stana up anu uu
minuted'' as one of the nineteen. vow,
don't let us forget, before we start in,
that Bro. Watson, like all prohibition
ists, draws no line between a temperance
man who uses a moderate amount oi
i.nr miirits and the drunkard who wal
lows in his vomit in a saloon, dead
drunk on "rot mit." oblivious to the
wonts of his family, outhful .blood
and the gray hairs of infirmity are alike
found sticking to the wheels of this pro
hibition Juggernaut. It respects neither
ace. sex. previous or present condition
of a man s health. All alike must be
ground to sausage meat to catch a poor
devil who deals out poisons in a saloon
Prohibitionists want a law to stop the
manufacture and sale of all spirituous
liouors. Do I correctly state their case?
W hat are spirituous liquors? Whisky
rum, alcohol, wine, lager beer, or any
thing that will make on Indian drunk.
Prohibitionists demand a law to pro
hibit the manufacture, sale or giving
away any such drugs. The law of course
must havo a jienalty attached fine and
imprisonment. Prohibition sleuth
hounds, anxious for a fee, invade
man's house, turn his bureau drawers
outside, go down cellar, overhaul his po
tatoes, jlrighten the women and children
into fainting to hunt a bottle ot beer
and then eo their way. to collect thei
fee, reporting "Nothing found." In
Maine, cider was "prohibited." They
cut down their orchards to prevent the
U8e of cider. The prohibition sleuth
hounds found a pint of cider with on old
soldier which a neighbor had given him
The soldier was arrested and cast into
prison because ho refused to tell who
gave him the cider. After long impris
onment among cockroaches and vermin
in the damp cobweb covered walls the
old soldier committed suicide as the only
way of escape from a soulless prohibition
fanaticism.
I am opposed to a prohibition law for
many goou reasons, l. ro sucn law
ever was or ever will be enforced. Pub
ic sentiment is against it and always
will be. 2. It would imprison Jesus
Christ for making wine and drinking it
. . . .. . .i. in:.:
o such an extent mat ine promoiuon
harisees called him a "wine bibber.
. It would send Bro. Watson to the
lock-up for having made some very good
wine and- inviting me uown ceuar to
sample it. Did Christ, Paul or W atson
n so doing commit a crime tnai wouiu
defile on angel? All say no. Then why
have a prohibition policeman Knoca
them down with his club and thrust
them in prison alongside of the drunk
ard who lias cut his wife's throat? 4. I
oppose prohibition because alcohol and
Ipintuous liquors are jugiuy nuix-unuij
n the arts and in pharnnicopia. Go ask
Ed Williams and Charley Clarke if they
think they couldn't make better tinc
tures witli stump water than alcohol,
Go ask that old grey-headed man who
has been temperately using bitters lor
50 years if he don't think it will lie bet
ter for his health to stuff his roots and
herbs into a jug and then fill it up with
rain water or buttermilk. Go ask any
intelligent physician who uses alcohol
as an aiifcsthetic or to arrest waste of
tissue in a consumptive if he don't think
soap suds will answer the same purpose.
When you get nn affirmative answer to
these questions then hang out ine yei
low flag over every drug store (not for
getting Bro. Watson's cellar).
But Bro. vt atson siarts on uy quoting
a wise man" (Solomon) to pwe that
they who tarry long at the red wine have
all sorts of pains and aches but he for
got to tell us that this "wise man" never
saw a woru against ine temperate use oi
wine never recommended prohibition
as a cure for "tarrying long enough to
get beastly drunk." He also forgot to
tell us that this "wise man was not
even temperate in all things. Couldn't
even a temperate Turk get along very
well with less than a tnousana women
(300 wives and 700 concubines), as this
Wiseman kept in his haremf lent
there a school boy in Hood River "wise
enough to tell us it is bad for a man to
drink enough wine to carry a heaaiignt
on the end of Ins nosef Ana wasn t
Brighani Young "wise" enough to tell
me in a talk I had with him in 1809,
that 21 wives and no concubines answer
ed his purpose very well? Which was
the "wisest," &oiomon or urignam
oung?
But let us hear Bro. Watson: "iNo li
cense or folding of hands while one hun
dred thousand of our countrymen are
filling drunkards graves annually
Who is responsible for the
present ruinous liquor traffic, not the
saloon keeper but the people." (Here
he has left a little hole which he licenses
the saloon keeper to crawl out at. I
think he ought to have plugged that
hole up). He can carry all he wants to
of the sack of saloon keepers' sins on
his shoulders, but excuse me tor not
lending a hand. Again: "It is the gov
ernment that makes the laws, but the
people make the government." ery
well ; what is the government? McKin-
ley as the head, his cabinet and con.
gress. This is the government, isn't it?
the government that is holding up the
rum tralhc and sending seventy thou'
sand drunken bloated bodies to the grave
and seventy thousand souls to hell. An
infamous government truly one the
devil has got by the ear and all hell is
reioicine over, io voted the admin
istration into power? Did any flaming
prohibitionist vote for McKinley vote
as lie prays and believes, or did he vote
for the prohibition candidate? In order
to know just what; their opinion
is worth the public wants
He has Tjutted'against the common
sense of the people till lie has butted
himself all away but the tail, and that
I see is still butting.
It is easy to find fault not so easy to
suggest n remcdv. H requires a states
man to construct a government, secur
ing the greatest good to tho greatest
number. Any long-eared animal can
back unnnd kVk at it. We all admit
the incalculable evils of the liquor traffic.
The question is, what is the remedy?
We know that prohibition is no rrmeuy.
What then is? In my next I will try to
propose a remedy, by which, if we can
not kill the saloon beast, we can extract
some of his funks and cut off some of his
claws. Prohibitionists propose to let
him live as long as the devil d'S-'S some
ten thousand years, perhaps. I promise
to bring him to the bull ring and operate
on him now. W. L. Adams.
