About The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933 | View Entire Issue (Dec. 21, 1900)
food Iftver Slaciei FRIDAY, DKUJiMUER 21, 1900. In another column will be found bd interesting write-up of Hood River by E. Hofer, editor of the Salem Daily Journal. Mr. Hofer visited our horti cultural fair in October. Hit time has since been occupied so that he did not write up his notes taken on that occa sion till the issue of the Journal of Dec. 13th. He very kindly maiied 100 copies of his paper of that date to the Glacier, and they have been given out where they will do the most good. The Salem Daily Journal is an independent paper that has something to say on all public questions of interest to the state or na tion. It is a member of the Associated Press, and we believe the only news paper in the state outside of Portland taking a report of the Associated Press dispatches. Its editor is a good friend of Hood River, and to any of our cit izens wishing to tafro a daily paper from the state capital during the session of the legislature we can say that none is more fearless than the Journal in giving its opinions and speaking for the best interests of the state. The Daily Jour nal is sent to subscribers for the low price of $3 a year; $1 for four months. Portland will not ask for appropria tions from the legislature and congress for an exposition in 1902, but will cel ebrate the centennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-5 with a big ex position. The Oregon Historical Society has taken the matter in hand, and there is every prospect that a great North Pa cific exposition will be held in 1905 that will do honor to the men who, one hun dred years ago, overcame all obstacles in navigating unknown rivers and tra versing the wilderness in their trip of 4,000 miles from St. Louis to the mouth of the Columbia. Considerable talk is being indulged in about the division of the state of Oregon on the line of the Cascade mountains, making two states. The only benefit to be derived from a division that we can see would be that it would give us two more U. S. senators and more offices to go round. The state is too thinly popu lated to make division popular. All of our state institutions would be crippled by division. Politicians might like to see the number of offices doubled, but taxpayers will bo slow to ask or vote for an increase of taxes. The Chicago. Chronicle, one of the greatest of the great independent news papers of the country, is more quoted from than any paper we know of. Its editorial writers are of the best. Its pages are made up every day with the happenings of the world gotten up in faultless style, aud its illustrations are superb. The price of the Dally Chron icle is $4 a year; the Sunday edition, 48 pages, hotter than any magazine, 2 a year. ' Portland licenses gamblers aud the owners of slot machines by rour ding them up once a month and making them pay a fine. A correipuudent of the Oregonian jocularly asks the same privilege for the "gentlemanly burglar" let him pay a fine, enrich the city treasury and resume business. The Heppner Gazette, the pioneer paper of Morrow county, has enlarged to a six-page paper. The Gazette Is ably edited and illustrated by Colonel J. Watermelon Redington, the pioneer Journalist and discoverer of the Heppner Hills. The Gazette is a welcome ex change. Champ Clark, democratic congress man from Missouri, says he gained 20 pounds during the camprign the only democratic gain he heard of this year. The cabbage crop was a failure in the East this year, and now only the well-to-do can afford sauer-kraut mit speck or corned beef and cabbage. When you see it in the Glacier you may know it is seen by others. Choice four-tier Hood River apples have been conspicuously offered for sale at $1.60 per box at one of the large retail markets in Portland lately, says the Rural Northwest. Dr. M. H. Clarke, father of the wife of Rev. Henry Moyes, died at Fairview, Deo. 14th, lie was over 84 years of age. Mrs. W. H. Feugh came up from Hood River Monday of last week and is visit ing her children in Sherman county. She likes her new home iu the Hood River valley very much, but it seems quite natural to be again in Sherman oounty. -Wasco News. Sick headache absolutely and perma ' nently cured by using Moki Tea.

A few years ago cordwood was sold for something like fl.25 a cord delivered on the bank of the Columbia, but at the present time parties have been offered as high as $2.10 per cord. We believe the steamboats are now paying $2.50 per cord delivered on the wharves, and we predict that the time is not far distant when it will cost them $3. The timber in close proximity to the river is becom ing very scarce, and when it is neces sary to go farther back in the woods, the expense of hauling will naturally raise the price. Pioneer.

No other history of the United States is written in so inter esting a manner, the text is as absorb ing as a romance. Prof. Ellis is one of the most fasoinating writers of the day, and in this history he has exhibited an enthusiasm and literary charm which make the roost delightful impression upon the reader.

Patterson postmaster at Th Dalle, Hood River as Seen by an Editor. The Journal man accompanied by a very competent guide, inspiration and critic bad the pleasure of being whisked out to Hood River one beautiful Indian sum mer morning just before the presiden tial election. It is not possible to take a prettier short trip in fall of year than a few hours ride from Salem to the center of the fruit growing region of Wasco county, the morning ride down the Willamette, through French Prairie, past the Falls of the Willamette, formerly called Multnomah, through the great rustling port of Portland, past the ship ping of all nations, up the mighty Col umbia, with its rocks and cascades in profusion enough to almost call it a gar den of the gods, until we come to our destination. Hood River is perched on the shoulder of the mountain that is formed at the junction of the snowy, leaping river flow ing directly from Oregon's most majes tic snow peak. At first you see but a row of store buildings ana warehouses a few cosy hotels and saloons that look as if they wore struggling for an existence. After lunch a walk up the terraced streets revealed a charming residence portion,with plenty of churches and school buildings, capped with a high school, and on top of the mountain spreading orchards and residences in all directions. Most magnificent in effect of all on the town site are the groups of gigantic oak trees that we have nowhere seen equaled for beauty. As we turned to go down into the city again a panorama was spread out bofore our eyes to the north revealing the grand outlines of Mt. Adams, the winding canyon of the White Salmon, and in the depths at our feet the deep blue mirror of the Columbia, plowed by steamers going up and down the river. A grove of towering firs and great pines hide the town below. At our back was the spreading riches of the high bench land planted for miles with orchards and berry patches, interspersed with cosy suburban farm homes, water running by the roadside and ready to have its fertil izing flow directed into every field. The roads were excellent of smooth, sandy gravel and wide enough for several fast teams to trot alongside, clattering mer rily homeward from the little city at the toot of the mountain. We next gave our attention to the an nual fruit fair, the secretary being a former Iowa friend whose urgent invita tion had persuaded us to visit this little paradise that had so many revelations of beauty and resource in store. A pa vilion about 200 feet long was filled on both sides and with tiers of fruit on dis play through the middle. The aisles were crowded with hundreds of farmers and orcbardists and town people and nearly everybody seemed to nave some thing on exhibition, and the zeal and animation on the faces of all plainly told the story of great local pride in their industry and enterprise. Hardly any body in the city but has a fruit tract in the country, and hardly anybody for ten miles in the country but feels he is wholly or in part a resident of Hood River. Nowhere have I folt the spirit of united interest between city and country so strongly present as in this little valley and its commercial and banking city. Hood River is like the bot tom of the pocket for a big, healthy, DrosDerous rancher, where the results of his labors are jingling in most concrete lorm. One cannot enumerate in a short newspaper article all the show of fruit displayed under even this small canvas pavilion. The apples predominated over all, as Oregon seems to be the home of the apple. But there were grand dis plays of peaches, pears, quinces and other iruus. mo wonaenui iaci nuuuiune in' dustry.isthatiu ten years what wasa sen i-wilderneBs in the heartof the mountains has been brought to a high state of pro' ductlvity, and there are thousands of acres in smiling orchards, bearing wealth and producing tiappiness, where Nature gave no sign tnat aiie lntenuea tnese somi troolcal fruits to crow. Only last season 37,000 cratefrof fresh strawberries were shipped Irora here to the markets of the large cities, and Hood River strawberries are known from New Or leans to Manitoba and throughout the Rocky mountain region as the best berry the world produces. I asked thousands of questions of the trult growers here and it would take book to print their answers and experi ences. But one fact shone forth and that was with the climate, soil, mountain air and enterprise, coupled with transport ation facilities, they had a bonanza and were aware of it. I will tell a few sto ries of yield : Three acres of Baldwins produced 1000 boxes. A six year old orchard yielded 200 boxes per acre of Newtowns and Ben Davis. A ten year old orchard this year brought its owner Z,40U boxes. A 6 acre crop on the trees, brought its owner $650 this fall and he had nearly $100 worth of leavings not con sidered good enough for shippers. Hon. E. L. Smith's orchard has paid expen ses ever since it was six years old and Mr. Smith is too modest a man and too good a politician to tell how much it has netted him. He is quietly putting all be can into apples. But this is not all fairyland. There are some drawbacks. It takes some years to get an orchard into bearing. In the mean time strawberries and small fruits must be pushed to make a living. But they are a sure thing., Then there are snow falls and some years ago a freeze that took nearly half of some orchards But the valley is not one-tenth devel oped, mere are at least 50,000 acres that can be made into orchards of the greatest commercial value The West Side only is supplied with irrigation The East Side will be in the near future These bench lands that make orchards are 400 to 800 and 1200 feet altitude. Snows fall two to four feet deep and the Chinook winds come and lick them into slush. The higher lands are almost unexplored but enough is known to make it certain that they are the peach lands. One day a rail road, to Mt. Hood will open a perfect wilderness of peach or chards to the markets of the world and such peaches as the world has not yet seen, and in the presence of which so called California fruit will take off its hat and blush with shame. We closed the trip to Hood River with a drive up the river, across the head of the valley aud hack through the orchard belt. We drove through miles of or chards the fruit whereof literally cov ered the ground and many of the trees covered it two and three deep. The more proliflo varieties have to be propped and braced up and aie reeling and strug gling to carry their load of hundred-fold intoxication. Look down the winrows of apples half a mile long and alternat ing red and gold. Here and there is an unfortunate tree broken down with its own overflow of wealth. In the pavilion I counted 83 varieties of named kinds of apples all displayed not on plates but in bushel boxes. We thought we had seen some oi the finest mountain scenery in the West. We had crossed on nearly all the trans continental routes, from the Canadian Paeiflo through the awe-inspiring Sel kirks to the wonderful scenery of the Rio Grande and royal canvons . of the Colorado. But a half day drive up the east side of the Hood River eanyon and back across down the west side reveals new wonders of nature and discounts any previous sight in the way of moun tain scenery. We climb the toilsome, steop promontory east of the town until the river is a thin blue thread in the vast depths below. A turn of the road brings us out on the edge of the moun tain wall about 2000 feet above the city. In the foreground are miles noon miles of forests checkered with squares of or chards and noat residences glittering in tne sunlight, ibeeyo mounts terrace by terrace of evergreen verdure until it meets the skyline southwest where stands Mt. Hood, serene and unapproach able, mistress and queen of all the prin cesses of the air. rearinz her head above all the wealth of nature spread at her leet, spreading her Dridal trams oi snowy garments in all directions. We had seen Hood from all directions, but we had never seen a snow mountain before. Never before had we stood at a point in a happy, smiling;, fruitful valley com pletely surrounded by a rim of snow peaks, with Hood as sentinel to the south and Adams to the north a pano rama resttul yet of surpassing grandeur. Across the valley we penetrate masses of pine, fir and oak timber that is worth fortunes to tbe lumber companies that win ciear tne tana and make it ready lor the yet greater harvests of wealth that will come from the orcharding as it is carried on here with commercial skill and true western grit and enterprise. Jb. Hons, in The (Salem) Daily Journal At the school election in Pine Grove district, last Saturday, D. A. Turner was elected a director to nil the unexpired term of Edward Hawkes. It was also decided to continue tbe school two months from tbe 7th of January, with tne present teachers. . It has truly been said that "History is the chiefest study among human stud ies, capable of enriching and illumining ail tne rest." Among the tens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coidsand la grippe during the past tew years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos. Whit field & Co., 240 Wabash ave.. Chicago, one of the most prominent retail druggists in that city, in speaking of this, say a: "We recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy for la grippe in many cases, as it not only gives prompt and complete recovery, but also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia." tor sale Dy wimams a ttroBius. If soft-shelled eggs appear in the poul try house during the winter, the proper thing to do is to cut down the feed the morning feed, not the one which is given in the afternoon. Soft-shelled eggs are almost positive proof that the hens are too fat, and the beet way to get rid of the fat is to make the hens work it off in the scratching material. For the morninir feed not more than one hand' f ul of wheat to teu hens should be given as long as soft-shelled eggs are found in How to Cure Croup. Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N.Y., says: "Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy is the best medicino I have ever used. It is a fine children's remedy forcroup 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 bottle of the Cough Remedy kept at hand ready for in' stant use as soon as these symptoms ap pear. For sale by Williams & Brosius. Adrortlsed Letter List.
