Good Suggestions.
ln'reTmiigTroui the ".olfice of sheriff of
the county, Kobert Jvell y sends the fol
lowing communication to the county
court, which containg some splendeu
suggestions.
To the Honorable County Court of
Wasco County, Orgcon:
In taking my departure from among
you as sheriff of this conntv, I do so
gracefully, acknowledging the many
courtesies at different times extended
to me by this court and the county offi
cials generally. I have, at all times, en
deavored to perform the duties of the
sheriff's office to the best interests of
Wasco county, and I feel free to think
that my efforts have not lieeu in vain.
The financial condition of this countyhas
assumed a more soild basis, which I at
tribute in a great manner to the exact
ing of prompt liquidation of taxes at
their proer season for collection and
immediate placing of the funds so col
lected in the hands of the county trea
surer; thereby enabling him to stop
interest on outstanding warrants.
I court examination of my books.
Whenever a sheriff's term expires, I
think it is the duty of this court, in de
ference to the out-going sheriff, to have
his books experted ; but, if after careful
examination, you have every reason to
believe his returns are correct, you could
obviate the necessity of incurring such
expense. 1 would recommend that a
uniform method of keeping books be
established by legislature whereby a
system could be adopted that would be
similar tlroighout the state. This
would facilitate the work of experts,
when they were necessary. The asses
sor in liia arduous duties especially the
present incumbent) has always been in
close touch, with the sheriff, and I be
lieve with such a careful man, having
the interest of the county at heart, doing
his duty fearlessly, that within two
years hence, this county should be en
tirely out of debt. I would suggest that
a notice of the meeting of the board of
equalization be publishedi in each and
every newspaper published in this coun
ty instead of in one paper as heretofore,
thereby enabling the taxpayer to air his
grievances, should he have any, before
said board. Should he then not appear,
his future entreaties should not be en
tertained, but entirely ignored.
Your present assessment laws are, In
a measure, defective. Whilst the three
per cent off for prompt payment is an
inducement to the payer, yet it seems to
me as if you are giving a premium on
the payment of his or her just debts.
The time given for enforcement of pay
ing taxes is too limited. The tax roll is
completed by the assessor in . the early
part of September, and after passing up
on it by the board of equalization in
October, it practically lies dormant for
a space of three months. I would there
fore suggest that all levies should be
made on the first Monday in November
of each year, thereby giving ample time
for the county clerk to extend the roll
and place it in the hands of the sheriff
not later than the first Monday in Febru
ary, thus giving the sheriff and his offi
cials more time to notify and collect
prior to delinquency, as under the pres
ent system the sheriff has not adequate
time for collection.
I would also recommend to this court
that there should be some legislation
brought to bear, whereby warrants is
suidout of the justice court for fugitives
outside of the county, be placed directly
in the hands of the sheriff, so that the
expense incurred in conveying criminals
should not exceed the natural expenses
on transit. Robert Kkllv.
F. A. Jones' Strawberry Ranch.
From positive and very pleasant
knowledge the Oregonian is able to give
testimony respecting the quality of
strawberries grown on the F. A. Jones
place, 13 miles up Hood river, at an ele
vation of 920 feet,where the snow falls
to a depth of from two to four feet each
winter. Most of the Hood River berries
are grown at an elevation of from 200 to
300 feet, hence the crop on the Jones
place does not come in until the greater
Jiart of the crop is out of the way. Mr.
ones put in his place of four and a half
acres, in October WOO, setting 10,000
plants to the acre, and this year he is
getting a fine return, fortunately at a
time when prices are somewhat advanced
as compared with the height of the sea
son. At the Jones place, picking com
menced on June 21, and Monday of last
week the highest score for picking and
packing ever made in the valley was re
corded there. Nine pickers and two
packers put up 75 crates of 24 pounds
each.' The high picker turned out
425 pounds, and the high packer
packed 30 crates, or 930 pounds. This
work has never been equaled in the
Hood River district. In the valley fields
25 crates is considered a good day's pack,
and it rarely goes over 200 pounds in
a day. Mr. Jones estimates that he will
get 200 crates per acre this year and ex
pects to get something better than 2.25
per crate, r After deducting all the ele
ments of cost, which he figures at 75
cents per crate, he expects to clean up
$300 per acre certainly not a bad profit.
These facts explain why good berry land
in the Hood River district is bringing
from $400 to t00 per acre.-'-Oregonian.
A Kentucky Incubator.
John Filson, a farmer, living seven
miles south of Eminence, is the proud
father of forty-fonr little chickens, but
much of the credit for the result is due
to his wife. Filson has been ill with
fever so she decided to utilize him as an
incubator. She borrowed the eggs and
placed them about his body. Only four
failed to produce chickens. Winchester

Captain II. C. Coe, in a recent contri
bution to the Evening Teleuram. savs :
The first ascent of which I have any
Know ledge was made about tlie year 18&,
by Alfred Townsend, then Indian Agent,
or sub-agent, Captain Eugene F. Coe and
others. The next expedition was made
August 19, 1803. The party consisted of
uon. n. coe, A. U. I'helps and the writer
of Hood River; Mrs. E. 8. Joslyn, of
White Salmon, and Miss Josephine Fish
er, or uregon Uity, with Indian Johnson,
euide. The monntjiin was reftihml Mnn.
day, August 24, and the ascent was made
the next morning. We tried to persuade
our Indian guide to go with us, but were
unsuccessful. All coaxing and ridicule
could not overcome his superstition.
. My farther did attempt the trip, and
Mrs. Joslyn gave up before reaching the
summit of the high ridge or back bone
on the southeast of the main peak,
which we named "Johnson's spur," in
honor of our excellent guide. Mr. Phelps,
Miss Fisher and myself reached the first
or southeastern summit of the main
peak, about 2 p. m., where we ate our
lunch and left our names in a sardine
box, carefully covered with a large
pile of rocks. That night, after our re
turn to camp, a thunder storm passed
over the mountain, and in the morning
the grand old hill was covered with a
shining mantle of white. Our guide's
supersititions were fully comfirmed.
"See," he said, "the Great Spirit
was angry and has blottled out your
footsteps.
The next a&cent was made August 2,
1804. The party consisted of Rev.
Thomas Condon, now geologist of
the University of Oregon; N. Coe, W.
Stetwell, Charles C. Coe. and the writer.
All hands, excepting N. Coe, reached
the summit. This time we reached and
took dinner on the main central peak.
On our return we found our records of
the previous ascent unmolested, and
after adding our names to the list; re
turned to camp. .
I had a rather exciting toboggan slide
down the mountain, on a pie tin. It had
taken us six hours' steady climbing to
make the ascent, but on my improvised
sled I was in camp in 20 minutes after
leaving the summit. It was a wild ride
and one long to be remembered. Of the
first ascent Miss Fisher, now Mrs. Josie
Henderson, of Portland, alone survives.
Many vast changes have taken place
in the general contour of the summit of
the mountain since my first remem
brance. A great cliff, some 400 to 600 feet
in height, crossed the entire southern tace
of the summit. The eastern third slid
down about 1870. A few years later the
main central cliff slid out in a body,
leaving an immense gully on its way
down, and now can be seen close to the
snow line.
This Spring great changes have taken
place on the eastern side. An immense
cliff, probably 1,000 feet high, has mov
ed bodily down from the east summit
nearly halfway to the snow line, show
ing two prominent cliffs now instead of
one, as formerly seen.

savs of the berries: "Hie Uregon berry
is not only attractive, but the flavor
in pleasaut. Other shipments
from Oregon are expected during the
season. The keeping qualities of the
Oregon berry cannot be surpassed- This
was illustrated by the shipment this
week, for although the berries had been
tucked for moi than a week before they
were as fresh and sound on arrival here
as if they had come from a nearby sec
tion.

""llonTK. L."pmitli. Dresident of the
state board of horticulture, returned
Wednesday morning from an offlclal
visit to Union and Maker counties.
Judd (Jeer, of Cove, horticultural com
missioner for the rifth district, accom
panied Mr. Smith ou his trip, and they
went as far as the tinner John Day
country and visited Mt. Vernon and
frame Uity. flir. mun Bays me
fruit raised in these remote sections
is first class in quality, and the or
chards are comparatively free from
fruit nests. The farmers along the
John Day also raise a large quantity
of hay. The ranchers are contented
with their country and are a pros
perous lot of people.
Mr. Smith thinks that with the in
troduction of railroads into this coun
try there will be a great increase in
the production of fruit of various
kinds. At present apples are grown
only to meet the demands of the
locality. Green aphis is the chief
fruit nest: as at present tne orcnoras
are troubled but little by the codiin
moth. The isolation of the orchards
and their elevation 3,500 feet above
sea level is no doubt helping In this
matter.
Union will have a full crop of ap
ples and pears this year. While here
Mr. Smith met Professor A. B. Leck-
enby, who is in charge of the branch
state agricultural experiment station
located at I J Dion, r roiessor LCKenby

To Increase Water Supply.
. The Hood River Water Supply com
pany has a force of surveyors running a
line between Ditch creek and Dead
Point to determine the feasibility of a
ditch between the two points which will
increase the company's supply of irri
gating water. The new ditch, which is
intended to cross the divide between
Ditch Creek and Dead Point
will necessitate an expenditure of sev
eral hundred dollars, but will more than
double the present supply of water, and
will be of great benefit to the farmers
within reach of the ditch, and who now
are very desirous of obtaining irrigating
water. The Hood River Water Supply
company's ditch has a present capacity
of about 200 inches, and it is estimated
that the district supplied by this comany
about 16 square miles of land above
the ditch of the Valley Improvement
compauv could easily use 1,000 or more
inches of water.

Cottonseed oil, corn oil and linseed
oil, there is good reason to believe,
will probably have a rival at a not

As a matter of fact, petroleum has
been successfully desulphurized and

from it and the production of a fair

In the United State alone 6,300,000

over 135,000 tons annually. The
United States itself cannot supply
this immense quantity, and about
7,000 cords of wood are imported
daily for this purpose. Canada, with
her vast ranges of forest, offers a
great field for the pulp manufacturer,
and where this timber is situated
near tide water it is most valuable. ,

Ruins of M Amlanl SrMIm.at
Found ViLd.r a Lavs Bd la
California,
Edgar Cox, a miner, lately reached
Redding, Cal., after a hard trip across
the country from lessen P.uttes, 40
miles east of that place, bringing a
story of strange discoveries of even
deeper interest than the great crater
and the springs and caves of the lava
fields. The discoveries are of bones
and implements denoting a people and
a state of civilization existing there
many centuries ago. It is believed,
says a local account, a second Pompeii
may be hidden beneath the lava and
igneous rock which was belched in a
far remote period from the mouth of
tlie grim old crater,
. A party of timber surveyor's investi
gating their way over the rough coun
try south of Nooles pass found within
four feet of the surface human bones
half petrified. They evidently had
lain in much greater depth, but ero
sion had thinned the crust of earth
above them. The skeletons were in
various postures, as though death had
come suddenly upon the ancients,
striking them down as they wre en
gaged in the daily routine of life. Next
the searcher came upon rude spoon
and bowls. They were apparently of
stone, but they bnreio resemblance
to the Indian relics which the traveler
sees often in that region. Instruments
which perhaps were used as hammers
and chisels were found. They, too,
were totally unlike the known imple
ments of the Indians. Some of the
tone articles were of such design that
they could not be classified at all.
The surveyors became convinced that
they had chanced upon relics of a race
that antedated the known Indians o
far as to have little in common with
them.
It wa the conviction of the party
that the ruins of a settlement or city,
possibly engulfed with its inhabitants
by an eruption of the long extinct vol
cano, lie beneath the lava and can be
reached with comparative ease from
certain points where little lava re
mains. A King's State Bare,
London will entertain many distin
guished foreigners at the coronation
in June, but King Lewanika, the para

described as being an enlightened po
tentate, with "quite English ideas."

state barge which is rowed by 80 row

these noble bargees is not yet adopted
on the Thames. The unfortunate prime
minister has to divest himself of his
European clothes and take his place
with 79 others clHd like himself with
tiger skins round their loins and Jjons'
manes on their heads. The barge in
which these statesmen row is decor
ated with sluffed figures of elephants
and giraffes, made by King Lewanika
himself 'of calico and cane. Chicago

Fame, no less than obscurity, ha
it drawbacks. For instance, what a
twinge it would give a well-known
matinee idol if he were to take a
ride on a Chicago elevated train to
the westward and see where an en
terprising advertiser has placed his
picture, say the Chicago Chronicle.
The aforesaid counterfeit of the
famous actor i one of those modern
atrocities made of wood and paint.
The face ia painted on a board, and
then the contour is cut out, much
after the fashion' a child cuts pic
tures from a colored supplement.
This particular man has, and It is
one of his prideful points, a long
and drooping mustache, for which
multitudinous sparrow are thank
ful, a in this particular case the one
wing of the mustache sweep out
at the side and makes a delightful
resting place for the ubiquitous
birds.
One of these picture stand against
a reeking chimney in one of the
most squalid quarters of the city,
covered with soot, and certainly a
most dejected and utterly forlorn
looking thing. Other pictures of the
same sort are slapped up against the
sides of old buildings, some are
tacked to fences, and some even
stray out into the country and atare
down on cattle, hogs and horse
from the lde of big, red barn.
Many women who strut about the
stage in 'queenly grace might be
jarred never so slightly were they
to see the company some of their
pictures keep on the billboards of a
great city, or even the plebeian jux
taposition they encounter along the
country roadside. Some fair, famed
face looks out from a board, and on
each side will be some bold an
nouncement for some patent medi
cine flaming praise for some corn
cure. Some reigning beauty of the
stage will peer radiantly fronv the
bill boards and next to her picture
will appear mammoth letters telling
the public to be sure and get the
"Sir Henry Irving Overalls," a all
other brands are spurious.
The prima donna who nightly
thrills the great public, and daily
bleeds the mannger for a big salary,
is often sandwiched in between big
advertisement for oap, pickle or
beer, and the great tragedian who is
supposed never to have a thought
that is not lugubrious will hobnob,
on the billboards at least, with peo
ple who once had a cancer, but now
have not, or others who used Bum
bum's axle grease once, and now
cannot keep house without it. -
