Pont Kill the Birds.
Too often we hear the remark, "the
vicious, cruel boys kill all the birds in
the community." I would like to re
pudiate the accusation. It is not vicious
and cruel boys who always do the
killing, perhaps some may, but the ma
jority of the boys are as tender-hearted
and kindly dispositioned, more so, than
many w ho decry them. The fault lies
not with the vicious boy, "but with
the ignorant, careless or vicious parents.
Show your boys how the robins eat the
hurtful worms and bugs among the
berries and vegetables; how every robin
is worth ten dollars a year on a
furm ; how the meadow larks alone in
. crease the grain and hay crop as much
as 25 per cent more than it would be did
they not exist; how the wood-peckers,
flickers, nuthatches, wrens, martins,
swallows, and so many other of our
commonest and least appreciated birds,
do more to preserve our fruits and grain?
than anything man can do; get them to
watch the birds feeding, building nests,
caring for their young, and got them in
terested from a monetary as well as a
humane standpoint in the wellfare and
protection of the birds, by thus showing
them the benificent effect of their lives
upon the prosperity of man, and the
bewitching beauties of bird life in all its
kaliedoscopic variations, and there will
be no more complaints about the boys.
But it is the brutal man I hate, lie
who has had a robin.every spring morn
ing just fairly bursting its throat in the
gladness of its song to cheer him, that
has spent the remainder of every day of
the springtime, wet or dry, in gathering
the moths, the slugs, the grubs, the cut
worms, a whole bushel basketful for
every robin on his farm, and then, after
all this, when the robin is carrying food
to his mate and little ones and seeing
the first ripe cherries selects the ripest
onewhich is his by right, and earned
and paid for a thousand fold to take
his mate, when this brute in human
shape, void of all sense of gratitude,
graciousness oreven common honesty,
fit associate of the fiends of Dante's in
ferno, shoots his cheering.faithful friend,
widows its mate and makes orphans of
its little ones. Could anything be more
cruel, more vicious, more fiendish? All
people deserving the name should
contemn such a man. He ought, and
probably does, hate himself.
Again, don't kill the snakes (venomous
ones excepted), nor toads, nor lizards,
nor even the much despised bat. All
these make it their life work to destroy
insects, mice.rats, young digger squirrels,
more or less noxious to the crops and
pocketbook of the farmer. If it were
not for these, man could not exist. His
food supply would disappear from the
face of the whole earth. Many people
kill all snakes indiecrimately. In Hood
River we have butonepoisonousvariety,
the rattlesnake. All others are as harm
less as t thirds and their food consists
wholly c .' rnsect andanimal life and they
should be protected. .
Now boys, and girls, too, if your parents
have been so thoughtless as to not learn
for themselves and teach to you the
good and true, faithful friends we have
in the birds, and even the snakes, toads,
bats and lizards, just spend every spare
moment you have this summer watching
them at their work, keeping yourselves
as quiet and well hidden as possible.and
you will be surprised at the good they
do, and you will find it the most inter
esting and delightful pastime you ever
enjoyed.
It was a wise thought to introduce a
textbook on birds into our public schools
and it is to be hoped thatthis study may
be extended so as to embrace noxious
insects and the native reptiiian enemies
of such. An Old Boy.
A Ucclierclie Birthday Party.
Friday evening the home of Mr. and
Mrs. M. li. Mckelsen at isuimont was
the scene of a merry gathering, it being
the birthday of Mrs. Nickelsen, and was
a complete surprise planned and execut
ed by her daughter Margaret. Between
40 and 60 met at the home of Mrs. Note
man and when the shades of evening
were falling proceeded quietly to the
spacious lawn of Mr. Nickelsen's and
the first they were aware of the presence
of those many friends was the singing
of "There's a Stranger at the Door," led
by Mrs. Barrett. Mrs. Nickelsen, open
ing the door,wasrendered almost speech
less but in time recovered herself suffi
ciently to gasp:" What is all this?" The
crowd soon made manifest their inten
tions by showering her with many valua
ble presents as tokens of esteem and
good wishes. Miss Margaret was con
spicuous by her absence for a time but
soon showed up and entertained her
guests in a very royal manner. The tel
ephone was brought into use during the
evening by those who were unable to at
tend owing to the inclement weather,
wishing many more anniversaries to be
enjoyed by our friend and neighbor Mrs.
Nickelsen. The evening passed very
pleasantly in games, music and conver
sation. At 11 o'clock a recherche lunch
was served and at a late hour the most
pleasurable gathering of the vear dis
persed wishing their host and hostess
bon soir and many returns of the dav.
Among those present were: Mr. and
Mrs. (i. 1). Wood worth, Mr. and Mrs.
F. C.Sherrieb, Mr. and Mrs. J. 11. Shoe

State Encampment G- A. R.
Astohi, OawiON. June 3, 1902.
Editor Glacikr: The Hood River
contingent of the Grand Army encamp
ment arrived here in good shape at 4
o'clock today, coming by rail from
Hood River to Portland, and from Port
land on the steamer Bailey Gatzert of
the White Collar line. The officers of
the Bailev (intzert did the handsome
thing by the Hood River crowd in hold
ing the boat 15 minutes to allow them
to get from the Union detsit to the
wharf. M. V. Rand and wife joined the
IIimxI Riverites at the loat, and to Com
rade Rand they are indebted for having
the boat wait. The trip down the river
was enjoyed by alt. Our contingent was
met at the boat in Astoria by Quarter
master May of the local Post, and being
first on the ground, were given the best
accommodation in the city. All are
quartered at the Cole House, a' new
hotel. Tomorrow the session of the en
campmeut will begin at 10 o'clock, and
the parade will be at 2. The Grand
Army will be taken on an excursion to
Fort Stevens and will be shown through
the Fort, a privilege not accorded to any
one except foreign dignitaries and Grand
Army men. Following is a list of those
in atteniUnce from Can by Post and W.
R. C. and Hood River: O. L. Strana
han and wife, A. S. Blowers and wife

:
The thirtieth annual reunion of the
Oregon Pioneer association will take
place in the Exposition building, Port
land, Oregon, Wednesday, June IMh.
There will be an appropriate programme,
addresses, music, etc., 'followed by a
grand banquet. Hon. Harvey Scott, j
Editor of the Oregonian, is president ot
the association.
The Mazamas Will Climb Mt. Adams.
The Mazamas will climb Mt. Adams
this year. It is expected that the at
tendance will lie larger than ever. Pres
ident Mark O'Niel believes that there
will be a few scientific visitors from afar
this summer. Washington will join
Oregon to the extent of considerable
numbers for the ascentof Monnt Adams,
and it is not too much to say that prob
ably 200 will be camped at Trout Lake
the' middle of July, owing to the cheap
ness of the trip. It has been figured out
that through the advantage of organiza
tion and reduced expense, the trip to
Mount Adams can be made for $15 per
head covering 10 days' stay and includ
ing everything but the sleeping arrange
ments. The amount includes, of course, the
transportation of each person and noto
exceed 50 pounds of luggage,to the lake.
The start will ue made trom rortlana J uly
f4th at 7 o'clock a.m., and a second di
vision of visitors will be dispatched on
Tuesday morning, the 15th, all reaching
the permanent camp on Wednesday.
Coupon club tickets will be sold cover
ing all meals and rides.etc.
Following is part of the itinerary that
has been prepared :
-"As the committee in charge find it
impracticable to maintain a commis
sary department.complete arrangements
for meals have pean perfected with all
inns and transportation companies along
the route.
"We are, therefore, pleased to an
nounce to all Mazamas and their friends
that the cost of the 10 days' outing from
Portland to 1 rout Lake and return, in
cluding fare.nieals.transportation of lug
gage not to exceed 50 pounds will be
only $15, on the payment of which cou-
fion tickets will be given entitling the
lolder thereof to all advantages above
indicated. Parties will be served at Ou
ters during the stay, lhe second sec
tion of the Mazamas will leave on the
morning of the 15th from the same place
at the same time (White Collar Line
boats foot of Alder street), and make
the same stops and camps as the first
party, arriving at Trout Lake Wednes
day morning, July 16th.
"On Thursday, July 17th, arrange
ments will be made preparatory to mak
ing the climb, and on the following day,
Friday, July 18th, the march to the
mountain, the establishment of a tem
porary camp and other details at tim
ber line.
"On Saturday, July 19th, the ascent of
the mountain will be made. On Sunday,
the 20th, rest and religious exercises
will be the order of the day. On Mon
day, the 21st, side trips will be made to
the ice cave and lava caves in the imme
diate vicinity of the camp, and there
will be fishing parties. On Wednesday,
the 23d, return to White Salmon, and
on Thursday, the following day, back to
Portland. Side trips will be made at
the expense of the parties making them ;
horses for packs may be procured for
that purpose."
Hardy Cherry Stocks.
C. S. Harrison of York, Neb., in re-
viewing the Horticultural Manual, says
of wild cherry Btocks:
But the greatest revelation in the book
will be in the cherry. Hitherto this
iruit has been shut out of the North.
They now advocate the use of the wild
cherry.for the stock en which to bud or
gratt.
I had supposed that there was no
affinity between the wild and domesti
cated families. But of course these men
know what they are talking about. The
common wild cherry is one of the very
best trees we have. It is of rapid
growth, attains large size and is used
for lumber in furniture manufacture. It
is one of the best trees for Nebraska, i It
resists both heat and cold. I had a lot
last Bummer that paid no attention to
the intense heat, but grew six feet from
tiny twigs. They are Beautiful in form,
in bloom and in fruit. The birds enjoy
them. They grow wild in Nebraska
and in the slates of the Northwest. Now
if they can be used as stocks, they will
be juBt what we have been looking for.
- Never Mixed His Politics.
Charles Waters, a familiar form on
"the Jewett farm, "White Salmon, Wash
was born at Alton, Illinois, in December,
1820. Following the nursery business
most of his life, he came to the Jewett
farm in March, 1884, and started a nur
sery there. After a few years he re
turned to the East, for a time, but in
1890 came again to the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Jewett, where he has
since remained. Being now 82 years old,
he is still active, and spends most of his
time around on the farm trimming the
trees and shrubbery and attending to
his bees, in the study of which he is
very much interested. He laughingly
Bays he owes his good old age to early
piety and his always voting the straight
republican ticket. Last September Mr.
Waters received from the government at
his request 15,000 trout, which he put
into Trout Lake, a famous fishing resort
about 25 miles from White Salmon, and
he expects to get 25,000 more this fall
for the same purpose. Oregonian.
The Charleston exposition has proven
a failure in a financial way, but as an
advertisement of the city of Charleston
and surrounding country, it has been an
eminent and a permanent success. It
has shown of what Charleston is capa
ble, and the wonderful advancement
made in the energy, progressiveness
and resources of the South since the re
construction days of a quarter of a cent
ury ago. The public spirited men who
backed the fair with their time and
money declare that.while receiving noth
ing in return from the fair directly, they
have more than received their money
back in increased business and broader
field of influence and trade, opened up
and extended thereby, and which ad
vantages may expand and continue
through the decades to come. This
should be encouraging to our prominent
business men in Portland and other points
interested in the Lewis & Clark centen
nial, and induce them to spare no ex
pense or trouble in making it an epoch
maker in the history of Oregon.
Hon. E. L. Smith called our at
tention to a bit of history of the Yellow
Newtown which is quite interesting. It
is given by Ruth Titus in the March
number of Country Life in America.and
among other things tells that the New
town Pippin originated from a seed
dropped in a swamp in Newtown, I-ong
Island, nearly two centuries ago, on the
estate of Gershoni Moore, and for a long
time went by the name of Gershom
Moore Pippin. This, original, lived for
more than 100 years.and then died from
exhaustive cutting of scions fo- grafting.
There is another tree now living, which
was known as the Albemarle Pippin,
but is our Newtown, which tradition,
well authenticated, says was planted in,
or prior to 1755 by Dr. Thomas Walker.
Such is the beginning and record of
longevity of this king of all apples. It
is by age, association, and intrinsic mer
it the most aristocratic apple in our or
chards. It was introduced into England
through the influence of Ben Franklin
to whom the first shipment known to
nave been made to that country was i
sent in 1758. In March, 1778, Thomas ;
Jefferson planted the Newtowns in, his
orchard at Montioello.
There is often more than one way of i
accomplishing a desired result. Breed- j
ers of bees are striving to develop a st ruin !
of long-tongued bees which will be able j
to extract the nectar from the blossoms i
of red clover. Professors at some of j
the experiment stations are trying to j
breed strains of red clover with bios-;
suois so constructed that the common i
bee will 1 able to get the nectar. The
final result will undoubtedly betheutil-!
ization for human use of the great ,
amount of honey in the red clover blos

With nations as wllh men,

You saw yotir kindred die,
Nor raised a hand to fend them,
Tho' oft ye heard their cry.

Keek ye an empire here;
Dare ye destroy the structure
Your fathers died to rear.
Retrace thy truant footsteps,
Erase the stains he bear;
Nor barter blood bought freedom
Fur empire's buletiil glare.
But ye, ye vanquished burghers,
Your deeds are glory's own: '

Their like was never known.
They'll live on history's pages,
And fame's unclouded olii.e,
A thousand years from yesterday,

Miss. Elizabeth Mnir was born near
Crown Hill, Canada," June 17, 1823. She
married Jas. r. ickens, father of T.E.
Wickens and Mrs. Allen Lloyd, in 1850
and went to Australia in 1852. Mr.
Wickens died in 1853. Mrs. YViokens
married F. A. Snow, father of F. A. Snow
of Portland, in lSliO. Mr. Snow also
died in Australia in 18(2. Mrs. Snow
and her children returned to Can da via
England, making the trip to Eng
land in four months to, a day, arriving
April 5, 1874. She went on to Canada
in September of the same year. From
there she went to California in the
spring of 1875, from whence she came
to. Hood River in November 1878, where
she has made her home ever since.
Grandma Snow, as she was
affectionately addressed by every
body in Hood River, had' been in
ill health for several years, and her son,
T. E. Wickens1, has "devoted his entire
time to taking care of his mother. The

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYESIGHT
Unprotected Lamps Found to Be Inju
rious to the Kyeslght
The question of injury to the eyes
from electric light is bcinpr prominent
ly discussed by scientists, oculists and
laymen throughout the country. While
opinions widely differ as to the ulti
mate injury likely to result from the
rapidly increasing use of electricity,
the consensus of opinion is that light
from uncovered or ltncolorrd frlobcs is
working damage to the eyesipht of Im
munity. In a discussion of the subject
a London electric light journal, in de
fending its trade, feels called u,an to
make some important admissions. It
say s: . "It is not customary to loolt at
the sun, and not even the most enthusi
astic electrician would suggest thnt
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
were objects to be gazed at without
limit. Hut naked arc lights are not
usunlly placed so as to come within the
line of sight, and when they do acci
dentally, whatever may result, the in-
Jury to the eye isquite perceptible. The
filament of a plow lamp, on the other
Hand, is most hkelv to meet the eve. but
a frosted bulb is an extremely simple
mi common way of petting- over thnt
difficulty. The whole, trouble can be
easily remedied by the use of properly
irosien or colored pinss globes. In any
case, however, the actual permanent
injury to the eye by the plowing fila
ment is no preater than that due to an
ordinary pas flame.'"
WHERE NOAH GOT HIS PITCH.
Natural Kpr.ng Which Knabled Him to
Make the Ark Water Tight.
An English explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria, the locality in
which Noah dwelt. Here he found a
remarkable group of bitumen springs.
says the New York Journal.
From these tnrimrs. he savs. it is
proluible that Noah obtained his sunolv
of material to "pitch it w ithin and w ith
out." In a basin, undoubtedly of vol
canic origin, a spring- of warm water
bubbles up, and with the water conic
the bitumen or pitch, in a plastic form,
of Cie consistency of rather moist put
ty; and the Arabs gather it by simply
scraping- it oh the surface of t he w ater
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by pntient little
donkeys, -who then struggle up the
roel r sides of the basin and take the
material eft to the bovt-buiMing yards,
v. Iiere it is used for covering the boats

very little of it c.in escape, and it re

with some mineral which it deposits
in it rocky bed is it flows away
(ihroutrh channels and crevice which

basin, ooat ng it with a lovely Iihe
color, which further down the stream
becomes a "peacock" blue.
