cod liver Slacier. FRIDAY. JANUARY 31, 1902. - The Cold Snap. The enow has come at last. Friday morning, 'January 24tb, Hood River people w aked up to a realization of the first touch of winter for this aeaaon. At , daylight the ground was white, and the flake came down like old times in Hood River. By nightfall flii inches of the beautiful covered the ground and burled out of sight the wild flowers and the strawberry blooms that came before their time. A biting east wind came with the snow. Friday night was clear, and by 10 o'clock the mercury had gone down to 18 degrees above zero. Saturday morning, at 8 o'clock, the thermometer marked 4 degrees above zero, but reports from the valley stated that the mercury went below zero in several places. It remained clear and cold all day, with a bracing east wind, the mercury not getting above 18 above. Saturday night gave every promise of being a record breaker for coolness. At 10 o'clock the thermometer got down to 5 above, but the sky was overcast with clouds, and towards morning the weath er moderated. At 7 o'clock Sunday morning the thermometer marked 8 degrees above. Towards night it commenced snowing, and about an inch of snow fell. Monday morning the thermometer showed 9 above. The weather was bracing and clear all day. Tuesday morning, at 7 o'clock, the big thermometer in front of 8. E. Bart mess' furniture store registered one de gree above zero. This, instrument is considered about correct in indicating the temperature, but M. E. Cook claims he has a tested thermometer that hangs out in the open, and on Tuesday morn ing it registered 4 degrees below zero. Tuesday, though cloudy in the morning, turned out to be another sunshiny day, with a cold east wind. The Columbia river closed with ice on this date, and the steamboats running on The Dalles Portland route-are laid up. Wednesday morning the mercury went down to 4 degrees above zero. The day was cloudy ; thermometer 16 at 2 o'clock. Sleigh bells commenced jingling early Friday morning and have kept it up ever since, even into the wee small hours of the morning. , The roads are in fair condition for sleighing, and the hill streets in town are monopolized by, coasting parties of youngsters. The ponds near town afford excellent skat ing, and skaters are Out in full force day and night. Strawberry growers are rejoiced to know that the snow covers their straw berry patches. They hope it may lay on the ground for a month, till all dan ger of severe weather is past. The tree fruit is also thought to be safe, except peaches and cherries, which likely are hurt in some localities. The cold wave seems to have been general all over the Northwest coast. At Portland and on the Sound more snow fell than in Hood River valley, Even Southern California had a touch of winter, and at Los Angeles the mer cury went down to the freezing point. Thursday morning, as we go to press, it is snowing, with about three inches fresh snow. Thermometer 18, above. The weather bureau predicted rain for toaay. Wed n esday ' s M ou n tai neer say s : " From Crate's Point to opposite The Dalles the Columbia river is frozen over from bank . to bank, and should the cold spell con tinue a few days longer, teams can cross on the ice, the first time in three years the river has been frozen over or traffic interrupted. The past two winters have been unusually mild and traffic on the river was not interrupted." People have been crossing the Colum bia river on the ice since Tuesday mom ing at The Dalles. Rural Northwest says Oregon apple growers have learned that it is the late broods of codling moth which do the most harm in this state. The same thing appears to be the case in Mis souri, as Professor Steadman of the Mis souri experiment station says the late broods really do the most damage to the apples. "Eat apples, apples, apples 1" say the doctors. "Eat at morning, noon and night." The apple has more phosphoric acid in an easily digested shape than any other fruit or vegetable, and is most beneficial in its action on the liver, kid' neys and stomach. To eat apples just In-fore retiring is now considered the best thing a person can do quite con trary to the old saying that "fruit in the morning is golden, at noon silver, while it turns to lead at night." Many, how ever, affirm that, like nuts, the apple should be eaten at night with a sprink ling of salt, to aid digestion. It is said that the Arst apples grown in Oregon were from the seed of four apples brought over from England by the Hudson Ray Company, and planted in 184t, at Vancouver by P. C. Pam bourne. It was six years before they Ixire fruit, which brings the first apples grown up to ISM. Portland Dispatch. Figures from the annual report of the 0. R. & N. Co. for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, throws some light upon the extensive improvements that have been under way by this company in the maintenance of way and structures. The entire expenditure under this head during the year ending June 30, 1901, was close to 11,000,000; in exact figures, 80,218.t0. This is 1216,535.46 more than was spent the preceding year. Of the total amount spent ou improve ments, f 378,705.9 was spent on repairs of road bed and tracks, $226,374.04 in the renewal of rails and $113,544.35 in the renewal of ties. Other items of ex pense in this line were: Frogs and s itches, 6,215.91 ; protection of river banks, fJ.Stil. 83; repair of snow sheds, snow fences and sand fences, i, 174. 14; spikes and rail fastenings, $48,830.09; repairs and renewals of bridges and cul verts, $'.W,tf0.82 ; repairs and renewals of fences, road crossings, signs and cattle guards, $13,653.79 ; repair and renewals of buildings and fixtures, $48,062.53; repair and renewals of telegraph lines, $296.89. The state encampment of the Uraud Army of the Republic of the state of Washington mill be held at Everett in June. Invitations w ill be extended to President Roosevelt and the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army to attend. Waahinzton has a good law governing nurseries, says the Walla Walla Union. Because the law requires it, and because the state commissioner will hereafter enforce the law, it wll be necessary for every nurseryman and florist in the state of Washington to giye bonds in the sum of $1,000 before he will be per mitted to engage in business. The de position of such bond will entitle the depositor to a license. In the event nurserymen sell Infected stock and that stock is held up by the inspectors.should the nurseryman refuse to pay the cost of disinfection or destroying the stock, the bond will be forfeited and the state will be at no expense. Oregon needs a similar law, with a clause making the nurseryman liable for all sales of trees made not true to name. An effort is being made to have Cra ter lake set aside as a national park. With this end in view, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue, representative in congress from the first district of Oregon, has in troduced a bill. Crater lake is located on the gu in mtt of the Cascade mountains, in Klamath county, and is one of the great natural wonders of the world. Its surface is 6,239 feet above the sea level, it is nearly six miles in diameter and is completely surrounded by per pendicular walls 1,000 to 2,000 feet high. It contains a circular island, or cinder cone, 845 faat high, in the top' of which is ' an extinct crater 90 feet deep. The water is clear aB crystal, 2,000 feet deep and of the richest possible blue. Adjoining , the lake and guarding its approaches the mountains are rugged, of great altitude and of no value for agriculture or min ing. The Glacier hopes that the effort to make it a national park will be suc cessful. The prospects for Goldendale getting a railroad in the near future are bright. A company recently formed in Portland purpose building from Lyle, and the road is expected to be finished within a year. Hood Hirer Splash Dams. Two splash dams, by which a large quantity of water can be collected and suddenly released, carrying many thou sand logs with it.have been buillt on the Hood river this past summer, by the lumber interests working in that coun try, and a short description of the meth od of working them will doubtless be of considerable interest. One of these is known as the Winans dam, and is located on the West Fork of Hood river, about 14 miles from the town. It is so constructed that the wa ter is collected and when a sufficient body has been secured, the board or sates which hold it are suddenly re leased and the body of logs below the dam are carried down stream with considerable velocity. This dam was built by the Winans brothers at a cost of $3,500. The Lost Lake Lumber Company 'a dam on the East Fork, about the same dis tance from the town of Hood Kiver, is used for the same purpose, but is worked on an entirely different principle. In stead of being opened by splash planks, as is the case with the Winans dam. balanced gates are used, the result, of course, being practically the same. While the fruit interests of that sec tion have done much to give a name to Hood River, they lack thousands of dol lars of equaling the revenues derived from the vast bodies of timber tributary to the Hood river. Lying in the valley and on the slopes of the mountains are over 200 square miles, of timber land that will cut from 50,000 to 60,000 feet per acre or 32,000,000 feet, to the square mile. - During the year 1901 there was ex ported from the mills of the Lost Lake Lumber Company, the Davenport Bros, and the Nicolai Company, 35,000,000 feet of lumber worth $7 a thousand, or a total of $213,000. During the same year there was cut 6,000 cords of wood worth$2.50 a cord or a total of $15,0O0.Add to this $7,500 for slab wood and there is a total of $235,000 from timber alone. With the advent of the Bplash dam comes other interests which will add to the renown of the valley. Since the completion of their splash dam the Wi nans Bros, have sent down the river 50, 000 cedar posts worth $3,000. When, to this total, is added $85,000 for strawber ries, $45,000 from apples, $7,500 from fish, $3,000 from dried prunes and the output of the Davidson Cannery Com pany, amounting to $10,000, there is a grand total of $387,000 as an income for last year. Farm lands have jumped from $100 to $150 per acre, and yet not one acre in a hundred is under cultivation. Fruitand berry lands will continue to increase in valuation until the land will be worth from $(00 to $1,000 an acre. Portland Telegram Case or O. D. Taylor Settled at Last. The harvest reaped by 0. D. Taylor in the North Dalles and Grand Dalles town- site boom, is shown in detail in a writ ten opinion filed by Judge Cleland yes terday, in the suit of the Interstate Im provement Company against O. D. Tay lor, Sarah M. Taylor and the Interstate Investment Company, to recover about $200,000 on account of lota and blocks sold in these two wild cat towns. Taylor was once a minister, but he proved himself an exception to the rule that a minister is not a good business man, as he made things hum until his scheme exploded. He went East, es tablished offices in Chicago, Cleveland. Saginaw and other places, appointed numerous agents, and money flowed in to his coffers freely. Taylor was arrested at the instigation of some persons who were dissatisfied with his methods of dealing. They alleged willful misrepre sentations, but he sueeeded in beating the case. According to theopinion just rendered by Judge Cleland, Taylor and his wife, on July 5, ' 1890, sold to the Interstate Investment Company a large tract of land in Klickitat county, Washington, for $150,000, of which $50,000 was paid in cash, aud two notes for $50,000 each, payable within 10 years, were ex ecuted in favor of Taylor, for the bal ance of the purchase price. The land is situated on the bank of the Columbia river, opposite The Dalles, and is most ly barren and rocky. It was platted in to lota aud blocks, aud Taylor, who be came a stockholder in the company, was appointed agent to sell the lots for a 15 per ceut commission. The prospectus is sued was alluring. It explained that .onti liaises ana brand Dalles were to be made great factory towns, employing thousaads of people. A picture of a magnificent bridge across the Columbia river was shown with other things of an attractive nature. In March, 1891, so it is stated in the findings of fact submitted to Judge Cle land, the Interstate Improvement Com pany was organized, with J. F. Ellis as president and Taylor as manager. Tne new company, in April following, pur chased the property of the old "concern, for $400,U00,giving notes in payment. Taylor became manager of the Interstate Improvement Company, and entered into a contract to sell the lota at 25 per cent commission. He took one share of stock for himself and held 3,000 shares as trustee for the Interstate Investment Company. Taylor was to make an ac counting at stated periods of his receipts and expenditures, but instead of doing so, he held the money, alleging that he was entitled to do so because of the two notes aggregating $100,000 which lie held against the Interstate Investment Company, on account of the original purchase from him of the land. Judge Cleland gives a statement of the business done by Taylor aa follows: Sales of lota and blocks prior to March 1. 1801.17 .300 :fter March 1. 1891. $109.- 809,87; sales of stock, $18,400; Cornell, . . . - i , . i m noo . 11' ,1 Argus at B.neemnu rnwi, iv,ovu, nwu & Thomas notes, $6,000 ;casli, etc., $188; total $151,696. Credits are allowed Taylor as follows; Commissions at 15 per cent, $1095; com missions at 25 per cent,$27,861 ; commis sion on stock sales, $2,140; notes turned over to corporation,$26,616: salary .Janu ary l,1893,to June 1,1893,$2,500; expens Eastern trip, $1,000; advertising $120; other amounts allowed, $8,958; total $70, 291. . This leaves a balance of $81,404, and it is decided that Taylor may keep this monev as nart Davnient on the notes ex ecuted to him by the Interstate Invest ment Company, for $iut),oou. tie is also to give the Interstate ImprovementCom pany credit on the $400,000 notes issued by it, of this same $81,404. Judge Cle land holds that the Interstate Improve ment Company is entitled to posses sion of the land. The case has been Dendinsr for vears. Judge Cleland was appointed as rejeree, to hear the evidence . ana report nnu ings before he went on the bench. Three thousand pages of testimony were taken, and witnesses were brought from East ern points. The arguments lasted tor four days. Alter Judge (Jleiana took his seat on the bench the parties stipu lated that he could decide the case as a judge. Oregonian. The Potato Is King in Clackamas. The potato is king in Clackamas coun ty this year. About $150,000 will be realized from the potato acreage, and yet a shortage in yield was predicted early in the season. -. The Clackamas county potatoes never fail to .yield, and this year's product is as good as gold coin in San Francisco, Texas or any other place. Farmers are receiving checks in big figures for their spud that, too, in the poverty stricken season of the year. Til Tucker on the Molalla, near Macks burg, sold his entire crop last week for $1.30 per sack. -N- - . An opinion prevails to a certain ex tent that potatoes will yet reach a high er figure.. However, taking chances on the market is something like stock gam bling. C.Kocher.of Mark's Prairie, was once offered $1 per sack in the fall, and before winter was over, sold the entire lot for 40 cents. Potatoes will bring more money into Clackamas county than any one product, and yet the bus iness is only in its infancy in this section. The soil is adapted to their growth, and the tubers can be grown at a cost of not over 40 cents per sack. Courier Herald. Agriculture in the Public Schools. The grange is leading off in advocating teaching of agriculture in the public schools. The average boy and girl turn ed out of public school and other schools has more wants to gratify and more needs to satisfy and more desires to rati fy than he has ability to meet all the rest of has natural life. He has abil ty to use tobacco, or she has a taste for bonbons and perfumed chew chews. Above all they want an easy position at a salary. That is not the fault of the schools but of a defective system of so ciety. Next to producing divorces mod ern society produces a divorce from la bor, or the idea of ever earning money by honest labor. Where are the boys learning to be stone cutters, brick layers, plasterers, blacksmiths?The grange turns to agriculture. A boy that could plow or harrow or cultivate well would al ways be sure of employment. If he could plant and raise a crop and not wear out the land he would be worth something. If a boy or girl could plant a patch of strawberries and tend it intelligently or raise a flock of geese or turkeys, or know how to graft an ap ple tree, or make a good garden, it would be something this side of the poor farm. So the grange idea is all right. It leads to labor. There is salvation in labor and little without it. Johnny gets out of school and begins hanging around and running the Btreets with Jennie. They get married and then there are little tow-heads to care for. Bu t to produce anything to feed, clotheor educate these tow-heads of theirs is another question. They have learned no trade. They can't run a cow, make a garden, or do any thing but consume, and must have a job. Who is to furnish employment for all the educated people whose education has not made them producers and has taught them not to labor. Salem Jour nal. . Obituary. Pearl Vivian Hadley, daughter of Charles and Martha Hadley, was born near Sylvania, Park county, Indiana, May 5, 1883, died at Dayton, Oregon, January 3, 1902, aged 18 years, 7 months and 28 days. Deceased was a kind hearted and obedient girl, her chief aim and desire in life seemed to be to love and serve God and to make home and friends happy ; striving in every pos sible way to add to the comfort and joy of her parents. Always preferring their happiness to her own. Early in life she manifested a disposition to consecrate her entire life to the Master's service and her brief earthly career was devoted to His cause. Although a model girl in every way, she felt the need of being "born of Heaven," and about three years ago she sought and found the Sav ior in the conversion of her soul. At the same time she united with the M.E. church at Dayton, Oregon, and started out in a life that gave bright prospects for future usefulness, being one of the most devoted members of the church of her choice. She made the word of God her constant study, ever longing to know more about Jesus. Herafflictiou, which lasted for nearly a year, only drew her nearer to her blessed Redeemer. She manifested a cheerful hope for recovery until within about ten days of her death, then when told that she could not get well she said to her mother, "Do you really think I cannot live?" Her love for home and parents made her long for recovery, but she calmly submitted to the Lord's will, saying, "Well, mother, it is all right,any way." From that time as long as she was able to talk, her conver sation was of heaven. Even while suffer ing intensely,, her faith nfivar wavered. Her last appeals to those- -around lifer was, "Meet me in Heaven." Her favor ite him was: "My beavenly borne it bright and fair." And she often asked to have it sung tor her, herself joining in the singing as long as her strength would permit. C. E. C. in Dayton Herald. Saving the Country. The Silverton Appeal man escapes the harassing cares of the political arena by turning over four columns of bis paper to local representatives of as many po litical parties, with the privilege of fight ing it out among themselves. The re sult is highly entertaining, to say the least. The g. o. p. man fires the intro ductory salute with the proud assertion, "The republican party has always been able to look back with pride on its past record and has fewer regrets than any other party tiiat has been in control of our national 'government." The dem ocrat declares, "It is aa plain fiat the g. o. p. is controlled by a set of unscru pulous sort of pirates as the moot prom inent feature of Mr. Hanna's face, and that "we are in as much danger tudav as in 1776 or when the South seceded.'' The prohibitionist gets back at the re publican, who has had the hardihood; to give a little advice to the cold water en thusiasts, by suggesting that if he at tended more tempera meetings per sonally, rather than take his informa tion second-hand, he might be better qualified to raise his voiue. The social ist, with an eye single to the propaga tion of his pet "ism," exclaims as with a voice from the wilderness, "Competi tion is as wrong as fighting or warfare. God made the earth large enough for everybody." If in a multitude of coun selors there is safety, it would appear that the rest of os might fold oar arms and rest easy while the Silverton sol on s save the country. New berg Graphic Letter from Dawson, Alaska. The following letter, under date of Dawson, Dec.19,1901, was written to Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Billings of Mt. Hood by James Muir.one of the ex-soldiers joi the gallant Second Oregon in the Philip pine war: Dear friends: What I have seeu of this country impresses me favorably, but I could speak more favorably if it was under the Stars and Stripes. 1 have been idle very little since my arrival the 25th of last May. Wages were $8, or." $3 and board during the summer. This full there was a cut to $3.50 and board. Four of us are working a claim here on - the Upper Hunker creek, 30 miles from Dawson. From what prospecting has has been done we think we will make very good wages. We have commended drifting lately.but it is rather slow work when one considers that all the tiy dirt taken out has to be thawed by a wood fire. Some have boilers and use steam, though many say this is more ex pensive than wood fires. Then all this ground is to be sluiced in the summer, causing the work of handling it twice; this is what the miners call dead work. All of this country about Dawson appar ently is ol glacial tormation and from what l can learn of it has been disturb ed since the run of gold. This is what plays havoc with old miners' theories ana causes the newcomer to blunder on to the pay streak many times. It costs one ten dollars for a license granting him the privilege of working at mining each year;$15 to have your claim record ed yearly, and for what you take out of your claim after the first $5,000, 5 per cent is collected for royalty. To the average miner this is a compulsory do nation of a littie more than he thinks necessary. A law has been parsed J since i came nere compelling an ti.ose who take gold dust out of t lie Yukon territory to obtain a certificate from the gold comniissiunerB, otherwise their dust will be taken from them at the line. This certificate is to show that royalty has been paid. An article "was recently published in one of the Dawson papers regarding three Swedes who have been mining three years in the interior, 250 miles from Dawson, on a creek they neither staked nor recorded. They ac cumulated $30,000,which was confiscat ed at the Jine when they were on their way out. Clothing is not very expen sive for Hub country. Underwear can be obtained from $2 to $5 ner suit: over- shirts, $2.50 to $4; inoccasiiis,$1.50 tO$2.J 50 per pair. Moccasins are extensively used during cold weather. Rubber boots are from $10 to $15 per pair; at present they are $10. One has no use for them now. Last summer they were $15. Rubber goods are expensive,due to the heavy duty. Meals are tromoOtcts. to $1.60 per meal in Dawson. On the creeks the price is $1.50 per meal or board at $3 per day. So far the winter has been mild, which has caused miiny to be idle. It is necessary that the weather should become cold in order to successfully work in winter. Thawing by tires and steam causes the surface water to be a source of annoyance , un less the weather is cold. The thermom eter registered 30 degrees below zero once, but it lasted only for a day or two. Mail is very irregular this time of the year.

I hope it will find all of you enjoying the same blessing. With best wishes I'll con clude. Yours truly, JAMES MUIR. Not the Only Liar on the Boat. Steamboat men, as a rule, are very truthful. The reason for this is that they are selected from the very best families, early trained in Sunday school to highly prize the truth, and conse quently a lie is actually painful to them. It is no wonder, then, that their cre dulity is sometimes a tittle strained, "as it was on the Dalles City a few days ago by a Kansas niun who Maid ha waa going back to Kansas. lie said: "Yes, I like this country. I like the people and the climate. "Then why do you want to go back?" innocently asked an old lady near the foot of the table. "Well, I bought a farm of a Hood River real estate dealer for $4,000 pig-in-a-poke, sight unseen, as we used to trade knives when I was a boy." "Wasn't the farm as represented?" asked a thin little man across the table from the Kansas man. The captain by this time was beginning to take a lively interest in the conversation and it was noticed that his confidence in the strang er kept increasing as question afterques tion received respectful attention. He had just finished telling some wonder ful wind stories on the Columbia river, and he felt kind of uncomfortable. However, the captain was the identical game the Kansan was after and he eventually landed him, as the sequel will show. "Yes, it was exactly as represented. but I don't want to live on it. I went to the Transfer & Livery Co's stable and asked them for a rig to go out for a six or seven mile drive. They asked : 'Where are you going?' I said: 'I will pay you for the team and I don't have to tell you where I am going.' 'Oh, yes you do,' they said, 'if you get a team of us.' 'Well,' I said, 'I am going out to look's a farm I bought. It is the place and I am fixing to move out on the ranch.' 'You can't get there with a team,' they said. 'Well, how can I get there?' Lew Morse said, 'take the Dalles City, yet off atChenoweth and walk up the Little White Salmon three niiles.cross on a foot log, go up a ladder.and when you are on top follow a wire fence to the ' right till you come to a cow path. Follow that across a canyon into some open woods where it plays out. Then listen and you will hear the chickens crow. - Fol low the sound and you will come to a clearing.' " "Well, boys, my wife couldn't walk the log. I gave a boy 60 cents to show her the way back to a house and I went on. Pretty soon I found I was lost aud it commenced to get dark." By this time the captain was very much interested and before he thvifi V he asked: "Well, did vo'u'finJ the place?" A wan smile flitted over the face of the funny man as he replied: "Oh, I haven't come to that part of the story yet," and turning to a gentleman on his right he added, "Won't you talk to the captain and amuse him till I ao below and wind myself up? I am all run down." But the captain didn't even wait to hnish his desert. He made a straight shoot for the pilot house, while the Kansas man muttered: "I couldn't let him think he was ttie only liar on this boat." Skamania Pioneer. The Model Old Couple.
