Lecture on Robert Burns. , Professor J. B. Horner, registrar of the state agricultural college, lectured, Tuesday evening, in the U. B. , church on the subject of "Robert Burns." The church was comfortably filled, and the speaker held the close attention of his audience throughout his address. The lecture wag the second in a series of free lectures given to the rxvple of Hood Kiver under the auspices of the Broth erhood of Andrew and Philip. Professor Horner is a great admirer of Scotland's peasant poet, and his talk of an hour and a quarter on the spirit of Burns' literary productions ' contained many good ideas for serious considera tion. "Bnrns" said Professor Horner, "was the most nearly Inspired of all the poets." Even the lowly and common things of nature became ennobled and sublime when seen by the mind of the man whose inspirations "appealed to the business and bosoms of men. "Burns was preeminently the poet of the common people, and as such he sought to estab lish the eternal principle of the univers al fatherhood of God and the common brotherhood of men, "for a man's a man for a' that." At the close of the lecture the profes sor announced that C. G. Roberts had consented to recite a production of Burns in the true Caledonian dialect. Mr. Roberts replied with a rendition of the famous "ram O'Shanter." The au dience wanted the true brogue and no one doubted that they got it. Death of P. F. Bradford. Putnam F. Bradford, whose death oc curred at his late residence in this city, at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening,Dec. 30,1901, caused by a complication of diseases in cident to olfl age, was born ' in the fa mous Berkshire Hills at Sheffield, Mass., on May 25, 1827, making his age at death, 74 years,7 months and 6 days. Mr. Bradford came from the most honored ancestry of our country, being the seventh lineal descendant of Gov ernor William , Bradford of Plymouth colony. All his ancestors bore an hon orable part in the development of our national life. His father was a congre gational minister, and for 40 consecutive years was the stated pastor of one church, at Sheffield, Maes. In 1849, Mr. Bradford, associated with others, purchased a small ocean craft, and in it sailed from Boston around Cape Horn to San Francisco, the trip occu pying six months. After mining in Cal ifornia several years, deceased came to Oregon and soon became interested in the Oregon Steam Navigation Co., doing buisness mostly on the Columbia river. This company did a, large transporta tion business during the&O's and amass ed fortunes for its owners. During those. busy years of traffic, Mr.Bradford was a familiar figure at Portland.Oregon City, Vancouver and other places, and be sides superintending the work of large transportation company, was the princi pal mover in building the railway on the Washington side from the lower to the upper cascades, and also the historic river steamers Hassalo, Oneonto and Mary P. Flint, the latter being the maiden name of his mother. He was associated in business enterprises with such men as Jacob Kamm, Capt. Ains worth. R. R. Thompson. W. 8. Ladd and others who became the leading capital ists of the Northwest. In 1865 the Ore gon Steam Navigation company was dis posed of, and thereafter Mr. Bradford lived for some time in Massachusetts, as well as in California. He also devel oped and carried on large mining enter prises in Idaho, and near Baker City. For about 25 years previous to coming to Hood River, in 189b, Mr. Brad ford lived near Portland, and was engaged in fruit growing. On March 28, 1852, deceased was joined in mar riage at Cascade Locks with Miss Helen B. Palmer, who died very suddenly Dec. 21, 1897. Five children were ,born to this union, four dying in infancy. Mr. Bradford was a man of high and noble ideals, a kind husband and lather, generous and noble in his bearing to ward others, well informed on the gen eral topics of the times, and an inter esting and forceful personality. Re ligiously, he had deep convictions and firmly believed in the God of his fathers and in that abiding faith entered into his heavenly reward. An aged brother. A. G., his son, P. F.

It has long been noted aa a wonderful fruit-proudcing section, but it has not been nntil the past few yeara that its merits as an apple and strawberry producer ot unequaiea navor has receiver! due recognition irom the outside world. Now, the Hood River strawberries and apples of many varie ties stand easily at the head of the list. I arrived at this hotel on a Sunday and it seemed to me that everybody was dis cussing the merits of this and that spe cies of apple, and the net amount placed in the bank here to the credit of this and that horticulturist. In glass case in the hotel I noticed a dozen fine speci mens of the apples grown in the valley, and they were beauties in size, color and flavor. Some gentlemen just from South Africa spoke of the native ppre ciation for the Hood River apples. They stand shipment anywhere and they bring the highest prices obtainable for apples anywhere. As indicating what can be done here by intelligent, indus trious husbandry, I may mention that the firm of Sears A Porter made $5,000 this year net out of the product of 17 acres planted to apples. This, of course, is more then an average showing, but it indicates the possibilities of fruit cul ture in Hood River valley. The valley has shipped 600 tons of strawberries to the markets of this continent for the year 1901. For delicacy of flavor, size, firmness and ripe, rich red coloring.they stand at the top notch of strawberry production. If one eats strawberries and does not get the Hood River kind they are missine an epicurean refreshment, in which the palate may be tickled but not satisfied. I only read a lew days since an item in the Oregonian of Port land. Oreuon. which indicates that even the average clerk is dropping his voca tion and Decoming interested in tne til lage of the soil. A well-known ex-postal clerk of that city sent to his former as sociates a number of boxes of Hood River apples with the gratuitous informa tion that raising apples was mucn more nrofi table than serving Uncle Sam in the postal service. By the bye, I have been informed that Sears 4 Porter have been here only seven years. They are nn Kfr nn rant il rod with thia EiHB WJl U alien, uuw u s country and its possibilities. Strawberries in Hood River yield from 5,000 to 8,000 pounds to the acre, and apples from 40,000 to 70,000 pounds, or i h PULL 50 per cent off One-half regular price will be charged on Misset' Jackets, Ladies' Skirts in walk and dress lengths. all the year, so you had better come Great Anuual Ladies' irev-w iiut-u, rlmn Amnion f4n- .nr'Y Heavy FlannelRttA. hnndnnniA Lwar - t.A .

The supply of fruit is not confined sim ply to the above products. Cherries and other fruits thrive. Vegetables grow so large in this valley that I dare not tell their normal size for fear that some pop ulistic farmer will deny the allegation and the allegator. Think of potatoes in Oregon from 4 to 7 pounds each ; squashes from 200 to 220 pounds each; watermelons (5 pounds, and applefifrom 15 to 18 inches around, weighing 1 to 2 pounds each. These have been ex hibited at The Dalles fair. E. Locke of Hood River has received for several years past an average of $500 per acre for his strawberries, f!)00 an acre from cherries, $ii00 an acre from peaches, $500 an acre from pears, and has raised 30, 000 pounds of prunes to the acre. Joe Morton, three miles below Hood River, sold 37 bushels of apples from a single tree. They brought 70 cents a bushel, or $25.90. Counting 90 trees to the acre this would be $2,331 an acre for one year's crop. J. J. Luckey of Hood River gathered 2(1,000 pounds of cherries to the acre, which netted him 7 cents a pound, or $1,950 an acre clear on one season's crop. N. C. Evjins of the same neighborhood netted $900 an acre on strawberries. Hood River took 16 med als on fruit at the Chicago exposition, including one on strawberries and 7 on apples, which leads one to remark "how we apples do swim." But why elabo rate the the individual results and profits? They are known to all men who do not wear an 8-size hat and keep the aforesaid hirsute appendage crushed over eyes, ears and chin. It was a caution to see the apple eat ing proclivities of the people here. Ap ple dumplings, apple pies, roast apples, fried apples, stewed apples, apples dec olette and apples with proper garniture and garments greeted my vision at the restaurant and hotels. I am informed that considerable land is still obtainable in the valley and prices are moderate and within the reach of all. With the weight of 60 years on my shoulders I am even now tempted to throw aside the dull troublesome cares of a professional life, and engage in a pursuit wlucli adds not alone to one's lease of life but adds boyancy to one's physical make-up, and a healthy bank account a necessary passport to the kingdom of contentment and independence.
