Well, wo suppose the haughty Briton did feel a good deal of contempt or a "Imlf-civilized JJoer tvith no handle to his name w ho could not whip titty thousand British with three thousand half-starved Jioers.

He promiwd at some future time to tell of the battle of Antietnin, where he lost his leg. Comrade Strunahan told of his enlint mutit and of his arrival soon after at Pittsburg Landing while the battle ot Shiloh was in progress. He said he faw great numbers of skedaddlcn from the Union army hanging onto sycamore roots under the bluff of the river, and from this instance he thought the say ing "grab a root" originated. He then told of the siege of Corinth and the bat tles of Iuka and Corinth, and promised to continue the story at some future time. Comrade Hunt told in an amus ing manner of his experiences at the battle of Khiloh. Jle was a drummer boy, and when his regiment got orders to fall back he obeyed with alacrity. He said he could see his drum hanging now on a fence stake, where it got impaled while he was obeying orders to fall hack. Stake and rider fences were no obstacles, and if it hadn't been for the Tiennesee river, he said he might be run ning yet. Comrade Blowers told of the difficulties he experienced in getting into the army, being under age. He first enlioted in the regular army but was taken out by his widowed mother. He then went with the volunteers that were sent after the Indians who com mitted the massacres in Minnesota in 1802. lie afterwards joined a Minnesota cavalry regiment and served against the Indians oh the plains till the end of the war.

A good pro gramme was enjoyed by all, and after riniKhing the business of the club, the young folks indulged in games till a late hour. About thirty oi the members were present. Strawberry Jaw. J. O'B. Scobey, who is the pioneer promoter of a jamming and preserving plant at Olympia, says that two years ago he put up 250 cans of strawberry jam, packed in ordinary Mason fruit jars, ami prepared as it would bo in the kitchen of any farmhouse. It was mere in the nature of an experiment, under taken at a time when his berries would not bring enough in the market to pay the cost of picking them. Tho jam sold so readily that last year ho put up 1,000 pint jars, which retail at 25 cents each. They are in an attractive form with a handsome label and a guarantee of purity. He had no difficulty in dis posing of the entire lot at such a figure that he said it wan more profitable for him to can his berries than to sell them fresh at (1.50 per crate. This season he w ill put up one hundred thousand jars for market, not only strawberries, but other small fruits anil pure fruit jellies. He has taken an extensive eastern trip in the interest of his wares and finds everywhere a demand for them. He an ticipates no difficulty in disposing of the entire output of his plant, and says he will sell no berries fresh at a lower price than f 1.50 per crate. He considered the canning of small fruit the proper solution of the difficulties of the growers. It does away with the transportation question and the vexed commission question. He secures a freight rate of 95 cents per 100 pounds op his canned products to any point in the United States and has no complaints to make regarding railroad tariffs. entralia News. The greatest danger from colds and la grippe is their resulting in pneumonia, If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. It will cure a cold or an attack of la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For salo by Williams & Brosius. Wanted to Trade.

Its nortlmrn boundary is the Colum bia river; its eastern a high spur or divide putting out from Mount Hood, 2,0)0 feet or more in height, admirably protecting the valley from cold winds in winter and the hot, destructive winds in summer that come from the east ; its western boundary the timbered elopes of the Cascade range, while the broad base of Mt. Hood completely blocks the valley to the south. The arable portion of the valley is some twenty miles in length by an average width of five miles, or (14,000 acres. Deduct H.OtK) 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 ea.st side of Mt. Hood, and the melting unowti of Hummer maintain a large and constant flow of wates. The river has a descent of over 60 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 line. At the present time all the arable lands on the west sido of Hood river have irrigation facilities, and a good commencement has been made on an irrigation ditch on the east side of the valley that will cover 15,000 acres. In a brief' time there will not be a ten-acre tract in all this district but what may have its running brook, its fragrant meadow. The country adjacent to the upper readies of Hood river is covered with forest growth, and the timber adjacent to the river has been estimated 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, St. Paul, Duluth, Denver, Salt Ike and other markets. There are also about 120,000 standard fruit trees, largely ap ples, in orchard form. Kuch, in brief, are some of the char acteristics of Hood River Valley ; but apart from these it has an (esthetic value that bhould not be overlooked. Here beauty and sublimity are added to 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 nrs of a hundred miles of forest, and nowhere does the glorious sunlight leave a warmer blush on fruit and Cower than in this mountain valo. Ascend to the level of the plateau just above the vil lage and objects of physical grandeur are everywhere about. To the south, so beautiful and seemingly so near, rises the graceful, immaculate shaft, Mt. Hood, that all Oregonians love. -To the north, Adams rears its bulky form more than 12,000 feet alxive the sea, sovereign of all the lesser peaks from Shasta to Rainier, while at their very feet flow in ceasless measures tho garnered waters of an empire. Modest and plain our homes, but graud aud incomparable our surroundings. The fruit products are not limited to apples 4nil strawberries, but include pears, peaches, prunes, blackberries and all varieties of small fruits, while clover and the various grasses, wheat, potatoes, vegetables and garden products succeed admirably, especially under irrigation. Sit or seven saw niills, three of which cut from 50,000 to 150,000 feet of lumber per day, employing many men, are op. crating in the valley. The available water power is fully 120,000 horse power and equals that of Spokane. Hundreds oi visitors spenu ineir summer vaca tions in the valley, camping, huntine. fishing or wheeling, each year. There are no cyclones to terrify, no blizzards to chill nor thunder storms to destroy. Water is pure and abundant, fuel to be had at a slight cost above the cutting. Lands can be purchased at from $25 to ?0O per acre, according to location, l improvements, etc. i notick for publication.
