f RIDA.Y,. JUI,Y;25, 1902. A Hee'ii by NeweAiiicT. The following article is-a contributiun tuJJitj Ccytrburg tyliipJ.GazcUe, writ ten by diaries Jhivkltion,. father ot H. F. DaVidson 61 the Davidson Fruit Co: Hood River, Oregon1," July 1, 1902. KtUtor fiazette, Cetiterburg, Ohio: ly laMeommunicutlori from here was soon after my arrival."-Their I had only seen the perpetually auow covered mountains and the . beauitful and world-wide famous Oregon red apples and Yellow Newtown pippins, Bince then I have seen the winter, spring and this far Into the summer. The fall was delightful, without it killing frost until Very late In Novem ber, and with the exception of three or four days there waa no eero weather the temperature was as mild as the winters in northeast Georgia, where 1 spilt four years. The exceptions are, that here there' are more rainy days during winter than In Georgia, but people here pay very little attention to rain, and do not take cold from getting wet like they do in Ohio and the East. Another feature of this climate is that there are no storms, tornados, cyclones or cutting cold winds In winter. No March winds that get under our jackets and make our teeth chatter. The wind seldom' " blow's harder than a f ;entle breeze and always so soft and lalmy excepting the east wind which Is usually followed by snow. There Is rnore enow here than' In Georgia. Usually from one to three weeks snow. Never any blizzards. The wind seldom blows any while it is snowing, which generally comes straight down and in great big flakes as large as peach or ap ple blossoms. ' ; During last winter I Miwunow piled one foot'1 high or more on top of fence posts, and three Inches high on the top of fence boards and clotheslines During the snowy season there was only three mornings that the thermometer registered zero, or a few degrees below freezing. The ground never freezes deep enough here to freeze the potatoes that are uot dug. The mild winters are enough to repay almost anybody for making a change from the East and northwest to this part of the commonwealth. Personal ly I am delighted with the climate, es pecially the summer up to this time. Am sleeping each night under nearly as many blankets and quilts as I did during the winter, with only two days that the thermometer registered eighty degrees in the shade. Besides, you do not get hot or exhausted in the sun shine, because- there is always a brac ing, fresh, cool breeze coming up the river, witu exception or an occasional east wind that is a little dry and dusty. but does not last very long. I will he frank with EnHtern people and say this is not a good corn country, for two reasons. One Is that corn is too slow. Don't make money fast and easy enough. ' Another is that we do not have much use for it, only to make mush and batter cakes. The main rea son is that this is a horticultural conn try. Ten or fifteen acres cultivated in strawberries anil fruit, here will give lietter returns and larger wages to labor than 6ne' hundred or one hundred and sixty acres cultivated In the ordi nary way and rotation of crops in Knox and adiolninar counties. - Strawberries and apples-are -the staple-products of trus vauey, -wia raspberries, blackber ries,' pears mid prunes as side lines; which in the aggregate amount to a large amount and each year Increasing. There are two companies here tuat. do an extensive business shipping ber ries and fruit. The Hood Kiver Fruit (rowers' Union, which does a coonera- live business, was organized in 181)3 bv Mr. H.-F. Davidson and others, of wdicii newna elected business manager for three or four years, which develop ed the fact that there was room and a demand for another shipper, lie re signed his place and organized the pre sent Davidson Fruit Company, which buys berries and fruits outright on the spot, or ships' on consignment and stores apples, and deals in fertilizers, agricul tural implements, wagons.buggies, and manufactures berrv crates and fruit boxes, in which they worked up over me minion ieei or lumrjer last year, uik( wuj neariy uouoie mat amount tills Vear. Last Year thev did a hnal. ness of between two and three hundred thousand dollars, and will increase that this year as there will be a full arr ple crop. , From the ' time winter' breaks, through the spring time, we hear little but strawberry, talk. The dogs bark strawberries, the roosters crow strawber ries, the children, even the very little ones, cry for strawberries and are not quieted until they get red ripe straw berries, and are not then auleted mull they get Hood Hiver strawberries. One or my personal weaknesses is to be ere. dtiloiis, but I took that strawberry talk w ith a reasonable degree of allowance and waited until the season would come: and now I am like old Mrs. Shp- ba aaid about Mr. Solomon, The half niwi not oeen win." The Davidson Fruit Company start- eu out eariy 10 mane uu.uw strawberry crates and hallocksor boxes to fill them, but the season was not one-third gone until they discovered that they would be compelled to make another ten thou sand to supply the demand for the this year, including cherries and other berries. t A . hallock or box holds one pound, and a crate holds 24 halloeks, so you may figure out how many hal loeks and how much handling it takes to get a of crate berries ready to ship. The first half crate, or 12 pounds of berries, where sold In this market on May 15, for which the Davidson Fruit Company paid fifty cents per pound or six dollars for the half crate. The next sale was made by the D. F. Co., on May 21, of five and one-half crates for f'J per crate, or $33 for the lot, to the steward of President Har riman and party's train that passed through here on a tour of l-ispeetion over the Southern Pacific railway sys tem, of which the railroad here is a p-M-U From that until June 5 the growers got f4 per crate for their berries. On June 2 the first car load lota were shipped. One car-load by each company, whieh increased every d ly until they shipped seven car-loads in one night. The last ear-load ship ment wassixty-eix, and In addition to that there was shipped by common every day express ami by boat what would haw loaded twenty-five more c,. . They put or 71 crates Into a car, according to size of the car. They are all put Into cold storage or refrig rtor.'cars and ' put into paswenger trains from here. It requires four to six tons of ice tor each car. Besides there are icing stations where the ears are re-Iced whenever It Is needed. The price of berries did not go below three d llirs per cnt to the grower, until hr they began to ship car load Ms, ml never went below fl.? for prime berriea, properly graded and w ell pack ed, aud will averagei the grower two Mlar per crate, or a little over for the whole crop. Scalawags and poorly packed berries, sold t fakenr n the treet as low aa fl.2f per rtirte, but there was noexeu for an vbody selling for that price if they had have culti vated, picked aud packed their, berries nrooerlv. The croD has been a very satisfactory one this year and profit able too. There seems to be an increasing de mand each year for Hood River ber ries. This year the companies could not fill all their orders eveii at the ex treme high prices paid. One man has hauled in close to three thousand crates of strawberries 'off of twenty acres, and will take on quite a nice lot or cnernes from the same irround. and by next year the cherry crop will bring nearly as much money as the berries, and after that will be the paying crop. All the land here is strawberry (ana, wnne part of it Is good orchard or fruit land. Strawberry growing Is the sure thintr croD' every year. It requires about as much work to cultivate one acre of strawberries as it dose lo rhise four acres of corn. The net profits per acre after paying for cultivation, nick ing ami packing crates etc., win run from f 150 to $250 per acre this year. When I came here last year land was selling for from $125 to $165 per acre, now It is selling for $250 to $:J3(i per acre, with but little on the' market, There is plenty of Improved land cm the market, out uie price is aiso ad vancing in ratio of the Improved lands. Unimproved land can be bought for from $40 to $100 per acre, according to location. Ten or fifteen miles back It can be bought for as low as five or ten dollars per acre,1 very rich, productive strawberry and apple land. i'eople can make no mistake oy in vesting in Hood Kiver valley land at present prices, either for homes or as a speculation. Hood River valley straw berries bring the highest average price of any berries grown on the continent, from begining to end of the season. They will bear shloplng farther and keep longer than berries grown else where. They Kssess flavor and keep ing quality peculiar to this locality. Last year they were carried in good condition to Hong Kong, China. This year a trial consignment was sent there but up to the present no reports have been received. The apples grown here are also su perior, and bring a higher price than apples grown elsewhere. Last year the best apples in .the vulley were loaded here for European markets, and already there have been people here to buy apples for the Paris market next winter. Whenever Hood River valley people go to fairs, fruit shows and ex- fiositions thev are sure of bringing ome the medals and leave the favor able mention for the other fellows. Oregon now holds, the Wilder medal, which ' is a national trophy, largely earned by Hood River. J n California where there Is much greater upcertalfi tyof crops'; land that .will or does not yield nearly ns large net profits per acre, sells readily for from' $40 i to $1000 per acre, with twelve montlis hot sunshlre and dost every year. The Hood River people- are v'erv conserva tive and avoid every thing! that ms me appearance or a speculative boom. Consequently the growth is slow and permanent, and the old fogies are not disturbed in their easy, slow methods of doing business Which accounts for the real estate' boomers not being in evidence, like they were In f indlny during the natural gas 'boom there ten or fifteen years ago. This town and valley is destined to he in the nenr future a very; popular and important place as a summer resort. It is only thirty miles from Mount Hood, a per petual snow covered mountain, with an easy grade and of comparatively easy access to the peak after reachine the snow line. The easiest of access of any perpetually snow covered moun tain on the continent, which will nee cessarily soon have an electric railway wnicn win piace the mountain within two hours' ride trouj here and thesteam boat landing; only sixty-five miles by railroad from , Portland, and eight hours by steam boat on the Columbia rivef, through magnificent scenery The opportunity and nogsibilil v Is here, Whoever gets in on the ground floor win gather in some coin. Can't help it.; j Anybody who is, or may become Interested In the remwa of this val ley, can get all the information there is to lie gotten- by writing Messrs. Driggs, Culberton & Co. the leading real esiate nrm in this valley. They are in every respect trust worthy busi ness men. who will take pleasure In furnishing all the information at their command. In addition I want to say to my friends that I like this country very well. A place where there are no com March winds and snow storms, no oays with .from five to fifteen changes and different kinds of weather all in one day, pleases the "Bad Deacon" , pretty well. The people of Oregon have recently made some progress that pleases the Deacon. as well as the weather and climatic conditions, of which I will speak to Col. Hell in the future, and I know he will print them. In the cause of Altruism, Charlie Davidhon. Seed More Help.

TUey tell of a young man who started in twenty years ago to sweep out a law office and study law, and who is still sweeping out. Capital Jourat. The exploits of Tracy, since his escape from the Salem penitentiary, have caused more sales of newspapers" in Port land than any other event that has ever occurred in the world. The extra sales on the strength of Tracy have exceeded tnose mat were caused by the Spanish American war at the time w hen excite ment was highest. This fact is vouched for by reputable newspaper men who nave recently gone over the figures. A member of Parliament is said to be circulating about the the London clubs a typewritten copy of an epitaph which he solemnly declares is intendend for John Pierpont Morgan, and should be taken by him as a warning not to push nis worm-graooing enterprises too lor The epitaph is as follows: Her Ilea hi head at tax upon this earth: He now Adona to what he made hia own: He hoof ht the world for what be tboogbt It worth.

It is with deep" regret we record the sad death of our christian friend and and sister, Mrs. R. L. Neves. She had partially recovered from a long and painfull illness, and was on a visit to her father in Oregon, but a slight cold, taken on the Wat. caused a relapse and the death angel cifne on Thursday, June 26, and loosed-, her from all earthly suffering and she went , home to God.1 It always seems " strange,' that the one so young and good ; : happy companion with so' much of life and love before them, should be the .shining mark of death. But we know our heavenly fa ther would not suffer it, if it were not for good. He is too wise to make a mis take, and too kind to do his dependent children any wrong. Therefore we re siuu ourselves to his proidence, and pray for all who suffer. Whereas it has pleased him to take her angel spirit to himself, therefore, lie it resolved, 1. That we ask God to give us grace to imitate her example in humility and preparation for the heavenly life, 2. That'we have lost a faithful mem tier of our Woman's Home Missionary Society, and loyal member of our church, 3. That to the bereaved husband, to her loving parents, and aunt who so lovingly cared for her, we tender our deepest sympathy, and pray God's grace may sustain them in this great affliction; - - 4. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the ininnws oi our so ciety, published in our city papers and sent to the bereaved. Mrs. M. A. Allen, . Mrs. W. B. Wheeler, ' Mrs. W. L.
