FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1900.
Secretary Dosch of the Oregon state
board -of horticulture liai recently fin
ished his report of the work done in hit
office during the past year. He finds
that notwithstanding the . apple crop of
1900 was one of the largest ever produced
in the United States, there is no cry of
over production. First class four tier
apples are now selling in Portland at
from 85 cents to (1.50 a box, for ship
ment east and to Europe, and in a short
time, he says, they will reach a higher
figure. Apples have become further
distributed than heretofore, and Europe
has learned the value of American ap
ples. Mr. Do8ch thinks the oriental
markets of great importance to Oregon
apple growers, but it seems to us, it will
be a long time before China, or any other
cheap-labor country.can be expected to
take many of our apples at the prices
we expect for them here. The mining
regions of Alaska, British Columbia and
the mining states east of us will be our
best markets for years to come, with an
occasional good market in the Eastern
states when there is a fuilure of the crop
there. Mr. Dosoh's report in several
places makes favorable mention of Hood
River as an apple producing section.
The second annual meeting of the
Oregon Historical Society will be held
In Portland Dec. 15th. After transact
ing the usual business, electing officers
and receiving reports from the officers,
an historical paper will be presented by
Mrs. E. M. Wilson of The Dalles, after
which it is expected that there will be
brief and informal talks by persons in
timately associated with tho early his
tory of Oregon. All who attend the
meeting are requested to visit the rooms
of the society in the city hall.
Geo. W. Peck, governor of Wisconsin
1891-4, and author of that humorous
work, "Peck's Bad Boy," has begun a
special engagement as editor of the comic
supplement of the New York World.
He will write a new series of Bad Boy
papers entitled "Peck's Bad Boy Grown
Up." The reading public will be glad
to know that Geo, W. Peck is back in
harness, and his many friends of fifteen
years ago will bo reinforced by thous
ands of others.

A special school meeting will be held

Sproat Bros, are well advanced with a
,15-acre clearing on their land, lately
bought of P. kopke. They will plant
the whole tract to apple trees in the
spring.
G. i. Woodworth will plant 1,000 Ben
Davis apple trees on ins zu-acre tract,
formerly part of the Dothnmn place.
Preparation for planting is now in
progress.
Our school roll has grown to such pro
portions tnat an assistant teacher do
came an absolute necessity, and Mrs
Margaret Reid now has charge of the
primary classes. This la a great reliet
to Prof. Chastain, and much bettar for
tne pupus ana an concerned.
To the credit of our far mers, not one
has applied for exemption from road
work under the law passed by the last
legislature, which allows a rebate on
taxes to all owners of wide-tire wagons.
The general disposition throughout the
district is to give extra road work rather
than ask for rebates. If a law wero en
acted forbidding dealers to bring nar
row-tire wagons into the state, some
good might follow. The question of
good roads is at present receiving an
unusual amount ot thouctutui consul
eration anions East Side residents. As
the apple crop ond other business grows
greater, traffic during the rainy season
increases at a corresponding rate, and it
is absolutely necessary that the mud
sloughs on the road between Win. toss
place and town be abolished. Macad
am, VI UIUBUUIIK JUSt ng goou, is an
that win mi the bill.
The entertainment and basket social
given at Pine Grove on Thanksgiving
eve was quite a success. Baskets sold
at prices ranging from 60 cents to $1.25.
A refreshment stand also contributed to
the net proceeds, which was something
over $30. The money will be used to
enlarge our school library.

War Records.
Below are given the war records of
comrades elected to fill the offices in
Canby post, G. A. R., for the year 1901,
so far as we could learn in time for this
week's paper. They are the condensed
history of men who served their country
during four vears of war, and are rec
ords of which each and every one may
well be proud:
Thomas J. Cunning, elected com
mander of the post, enlisted in May,
1801, in Capt. Josiah Givens' company,
in Coshocton, Ohio, and was mustered
into the United States service in Camp
Chase the same month, in Company K,

burg Landing. Was in all the leading
battles of the army of theOlnoand Luni
berland except Chickamauga; he tramp
ed with Sherman to the sea and was
finally discharged at Washington after
the grand review ny reason ot tne ex
piration of tho war. He was in every
rebel state during the wtr east of the
Mississippi, except Jtlonda, and volun
teered for extra service whenever such
call was made, but always soldiered
when it was fatigue duty, tie looked
out of the guard house only twice during
that long service, and on both occasions
had the most select company and the
term of confinement was minutes in
stead of hours. Ho joined the Grand
Army as charter member of Bradshaw
nost. 201. department of Missouri, and
in 1895 joined Canby post, 16, depart
ment of Oregon, by transfer.
Luke D. Blount, elected junior vice
commander, enlisted August 10, 1801, in

igan and 19th Indiana, known as the

in the right knee at the second battle
of Bull Run, and at the battle of bouth
Mountain was hurt in the right side by
a shell and was taken to the hospital at
ork, fa., until February, 1803, when
he rejoined his regiment and was mus
tered out October 18, 1804. He joined
Bradshaw post, 201, department of Mis

July 14, and Old Town Creek, July 15
and 10, 1864, and fiashville, Dec. 15 and
16, 1864. At the last named battle the
confederates, were so completely routed
that they grimly acknowledged there
was not enough left for another killing,
His discharge paper shows the engage
ments and is testimony to his efficiency
and bravery as a soldier. ;
D. II. dough, elected surgeon, served
years and 10 months in the 9th Ohio
battery, ins battery saw service with
the army of the Cumberland, was at the
battle of Mill Springs, Kentucky, and

Comrade Clough was one of the many
thousands who staid with the army till
the end of the war; he served his coun
try well but can not relate many hair
breadth escapes nor daring deeds per
formed to save the Union, and he some
times thinks, after listening to others
tell of their exploits in tho army, that
he may not have heen there, alter all.

Thanksgiving Surprise,
A very happy surprise awaited Rev.
F. R. Spaulding and wife upon their re
turn from the union Thanksgiving ser
vices hold in the M. E. church. Kind
friends had invaded their home and a
sumptuous dinner awaited them, con
siating of the usual Thanksgiving tnrkev.
mince pie, cranberry sauce, etc. Those
who had the matter in hand realized the
number in their family was a littlo more
than in anv one of their homes, but
when Rev. Spaulding was heard on Sat
urday to remark they were still eating
inanksgiving dinner, they were made
conscious that in their efforts to provide
amply for the dinner they had a little
overestimated the size of lus family.
Some of the brethren of the church real
ising their services would not be needed
in the preparation of the dinner, but
anxious in some way on that occasion to
have a part in the remembrance of the
pastor and family, took a well-filled
wagon of provisions on the previous day.
Brother and Sister Spaulding were at
a loss to find words to express their
gratitude to their membership and
friends who so kindly remembered theni
on that occasion.

Wires it to the World.
That Prof. Hoff, the famous Vienna
scientist, was not trying to gain any of
the world's gold when he announced a
short time ago he had discovered a com
pound that would help all consumptives
and cure inild cases of the dreaded dis
ease, is now made plain, as he has given
tne prescription to the world with the
statement that if mankind is benefited
he will feel amolv repaid for bin manv
years of effort. The prescription is as
follows:
Acid, Ansen .1
Aflia, I'tnnumic .8
Kal. Curb, dep 2
AquadiHtlll , J
Make a perfect solution.
Add Cognac 2.5
Mix. Blc:

oi pnysicutn.
Prof. Hofl says people must not think
this is a magical compound that will
cure at a touch the lungs of a man or
woman in which big cavities exist, but
he says he has found after using the
prescription in 200 cases that this meth
od will cure mild cases of consumption
in two months, and that in severe cases
a partial cure is soon brought about and
the patient regains appetite and weight.
The learned scientist says further: "I
think I may safely say that this method
will cure mild cases of consumption in
two months. In such patients by its
administration the fever is steadily low
ered, the insomnia disappears, as do the
night sweats, and asthmatic symptoms,
He must take diuretics. This prescrip
tion of mine must be taken after eating
when the stomach is full."
Prof Hoff says his prescription is writ
ton in the metric system and that there
is nothing hidden about it that would
make It especially difficult to prepare
Tho prescription will not cure advanced
cases of consumption, he says, but it will
at least bring relief to every consumpt
ive person, and will cure many. Iowa

The Real Estate Agent.
If you have property for sale, take it
to a public spirited real estate agent who
believes in advertising the good features
of the community and supporting home
industry. Take it to the man who will
advertise it in, the local paper, and place
it before as large a list of prospective
buyers as he can, and give him the ex
clusive agency. By this method you
will get quicker and better returns than
by listing it with several agents. But if
you list it with three or four agents,
each one will try to keep it a secret for
fear some one else will make a sale, and
the real estate agent who advertises and
tries to build up the community, is at a
disadvantage ; because when he gets a
prospective buyer and starts to show him
around, some curbstone agent will sneak
in and snatch the buyer away and beat
the legitimate agent out of his commis
sion, after he has done the advertising
and brought the buyer in the coinmu
nitv.
Be businesslike with your real estate
agent, give him an exclusive contract;
and then insist on him advertising your
property and the country. forest urove

How to Cure Croup.
Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Duchess county, N.Y., says: "Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine
I have ever used. It is a fine children's
remedy for croup and never fails to cure."
When given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse.oreven after the croupy cough has
developed, it will prevent the attack. This
should be borne in mind and a bottleof the
Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for in
stant use as soon as these symptoms ap.
