'Hood Iftver Slacicr.
FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1902.
Iiq an address before the Newberg
fruit growers, Colonel Hofer of the Sa
lem Journal told them this:
Last ye? the Salem growers ckared
from $125 to $.'J00 per acre on Yheir
strawberry crop, while Hood Rifer real
ized a nut profit of $100. One quart is
the average yield of a plant for one sea
son. I'lai) ted three feet apart each way,
the plants count 4,500 to the acre. This
yields an average crop of 200 crates to
the acre for five year a. Returns are
easily estimated from this basis, as
growers are certain of receiving from $1
to $2 per crate for their berries,shipped,
and never receive less than 3 cents per
pound for culls at the cannery, which
means 75 cent per crate. Cost of pro
duction is little, the farming is light,
and the prolits are satisfactory and sure.
This statement may be misleading in
regard to Hood River. Some few early
places in Hood River and White Salmou
nmy have realized a net profit of $400 an
acre, or even more, but we don't claim
that as the average One hundred and
fifty crates of strawberries is a fair crop
to the acre in Hood River.
The Boers scored a big victory March
7th, killing and wounding 113 officers
and men and capturing General Methu
en and 200 men and four guns. Only a
week before this, this same force of
Boers, under the command of General
Delarey, captured 000 British soldiers.
The Boers have shown themselves to be
the best of soldiers, have fairly earned
their freedom, and the timt ha arrived
when all the nations of the world should
unite in declaring that the war has gone
far enough. The Boers have nothing
to gain by giving up, their country has
been devastated by war, but they have
everything to gain by continuing the
fight till the last man is killed or cap
tured, or they gain their Independence.
This they seem determined to do.
The fruit prospects in Hood River are
' excellent. Strawberries wintered well
and promise a full crop. The acreage
has been largely increased, and an army
of pickers will be needed to gather tho
crop. .
Hood River gets a commissioner, as
usual. The minor offices, such as .sher
iff, clerk, treasurer and assessor, are ac
cepted by The Dalles. Hood River
would be ungrateful to ask for anything
more.
The new tax law is all right. The 3 per
cent discount allowed for prompt payment
of taxes is bringing the tax money into
the treasury at a lively rate. Sheriff Kel
ley on Monday turned $54,000over to the
county treasurer.
Initiative and Referendum.
The State Grange Bulletin offers the
following suggestions in regard to the
constitutional amendment to be voted
upon at the next election.
It should not be understood that it will
be necessary for every bill passed by
the legislature to be submitted to
a vote of the people before it be'
conies a law. The plan proposed is
uaseu upon tne system winch lias been
in operation for many years in the fed
eral government of Switzerland and
known as the optional referendum and
initiative. There are alwavs some
measures of such an urgent nature that
it would obviously be contrary to the
best interests of the state to allow time
for them to be submitted to the will of the
voters.In the plan proposed for our state
such actsasare"necessaryforthe mime
diate preservation of the nublic Deaco
health or safety"are made exceptions to
the referendum rule and may become
laws by a two-thirds majority of the leeis'
lature and the approval of the governor.
It is also customary to require a de
mand from a certain number of the vo
ters before any measure passed by the
legislature shall be submitted to direct
vote. In Oregon the proposed constitu
tional amendment fixes' the number at
not more than 8 per cent.
Furthermore.it has been found where
the plan has been in operation that but
vory iew dihs are ever put to a direct
vote.
The mere fact that the people have
this power in their hands if they choose
to exercise it has a tendency to make
the legislative body cautious in their
acts.
In Switzerland the optional referen
dum was adopted in federal affairs in
1874. During the next 20 years there
were U years in which no bill was or
dered to a direct vote. During the other
nine years a vote was demanded on 18
bills, 12 of which were rejected. Of
these 12, 4 were afterwards slightly re
vised and accepted without a direct
vote.
in many oi tne cantons, or states we
would call them, where the initiative
and referendum system haa been in
operation for many years an equally
small portion of bills have been ordered
to a direct vote:
The plan was adopted by popular
vote in South Dakota in 1898, and was
completed as to ttie statute law in 1899
tme session oi tne legislature has since
been held and not one bill was ordered
to a direct vote although five per cent of
tne voters could nave ordered it upon
any uui mat nas passed except urgency
measures.

Top Grafting on Siberian Crab.
Two apple trees, one located near Du
buaue and the other on the prairie in
north central Iowa, are hale and hearty
and bearing good crops of fruit at 32
years of age. There is nothing very re
markable about this, but when we say
that both these trees are Seek No Far
ther apples, top grafted on the- stock
of a Siberian crab, the Seek No Farther
being an apple which it is utterly im
possible to raise upon a root graft in the
territory named, it becomes a fact of
much interest for all frnitnien. These
trees surviving the climatic changes am)
Bhocks of 32 years and bearing abund
ant crops of oneof the best apples in the
world on their little Russian trunks, is
an object lesson that should be heeded
by all those who are interested in growr
ing tine apples. We also know of Jon
athan apples so top worked which are
bearing tine crops of splendid fruit in
Southern Minnesota, a territory in which
the Jonathan apple is no mora at . home
than is our colored brother. Facts like
the foregoing should bo heeded and act
ed upon by our fruitmen. J. 8. Tbkiu.
Mush.
Corn meal mush seems a very simple
thing to make, yet it is rarely well
done. The meal must be good to begin
with, made of corn dried by slow, natur
al processes and containing the little
germ the vital part.the muscle builder,
the brain feeder. This germ, because
it will not granulate and .eadily be
comes musty, is removod by the mod
ern process of grinding, leaving to be
ground into meal only the devitalized
portion, the part that even a rat rejects

Big Snow Drifts.
"If you want to see snow drifts," said
a gentleman at one of the hotels last
evening, "go up and make a trip over
the JJolgevule railroad. Many places it
is like going through a tunnel. 1 In
snow in many places between inline
Falls and Dolgeville is five or six feet
higher than the tons of the cars. They
