The iM) eie include all of I lie im proved laud upon the place, and nil I he laud east of the road. The prh.-e paid wax JiKKIO. Mr. Hliiigerland re? served the fruit crop, and the apple alone will net liini iflfitH.). roe?osioii of the farm will lie given in le-i-cinher. The Hlingerland ninth haa heeli known for years as one of the most productive in Hood River valley. Mr. and Mm. Slingerland came to Hood River 1!) years ago and located upon I heir place then u wilderness. Pince I hen they have improved and beau tilled it till it U an ideal country home. Thin farm Is miles from town on the Mount Hood road jiwt an easy hour's drive with a farm team on a comparatively good road. It in situated in the best part of the valley for apple orchards. Hon. E. 1.. Smith's celehrated lieultth Lund farm adjoins the Blingerland place. The great success of Mr. Slingerland in growing apples decided Mr. Smith to purchase lieulah Land for the plant ing of orchards. The Slingerlana farm has 2 acres in orchard, mostly stand ard winter apples. Here is the nat ural home of the Yellow Newtown. This variety predominates In the Slingerland orchards, and the trees at this time of year are a sight well worth seeing. All varieties are bear ing full, the limbs of the trees bend ing with their loads of fruit. It will pay some of our own people who have never visited the Slingerland or chards to see them now with their wealth of fruit. The trees are young in a large part of the orchard, many of them just coming Into bearing, but a conservative estimate places the yield this year at 2000 boxes. All "kinds of fruit grown in Hood River thrives as well on the Slingerhmd place as do the apples. The fiartlett near crop, which has just been gath ered and sold, was quite full and of good quality. The inter rveliis pears and the Italian prunes nre bearing full. Blackberries and other small fruits do well. For garden truck the soil is of the best. The clover fields, after taking oil' two crops, are pas tured, and it is a grand sight to the eye of a farmer to see the fat cattle grazing in the green fields upon the third crop of clover. A free water right goes with the place. It was Mr. Slingerland's intention to liuild a handsome and up-to-date dwelling house, and he had a good location selected, from which there Is a grand view of the snow-capped mountains of Hood and Adams, and from which the house could he seen from the stage road a mile or two distant towards town. But the good farmer always builds a good barn be fore he builds a good house, and Mr Slingerlaud probably has the best barn in Hood River valley. It Is up to date and complete in every respect, and full of hay. Its dimensions are oiixitt) feet, with a basement for stock. In the kitchen of his dwelling house is an elegant range, with a heater and hot water tank. Water is forced up from the spring by a water wheel iu tile creek that is geared to a pump. The milk house is first class, and the outside cellar is not the least of the improvements on the place. The ap ple house is frost proof and built to hold (iiXK) boxes of apples. A tram way carries the boxes of apples from the wagon under a shed on the out side to the farthest end of the apple house. The tramway makes the work of handling the boxes of apples com paratively easy. In an adjoining room the apples are packed for ship ment. Mr. Slingerland parted with Ids place for a liamlsome sum, yet, every thing considered, he sold it cheap enough. It is a money-making place, and will improve for years to come. It is on the main road, and being well known for its fruits, the amount of pro duce sold at his home brought him considerable revenue. His market has been right at his door. The man who Is farthest from market-is the uian who lias nothing to sell. Mr. Slingerlaud will build upon and improve his 30 acres across the road from the part he sold. He has other valuable real estate in the valley, but he knows the value of the soil in this locality and that there Is none better for the use he will put It to. He will no doubt build an ideal home, where he and his estimable wife can take life easy and and at the same time con tinue to make themselves useful to the community. Mr. 1'log is a man of family, having a wife and 5 children. He is to be congratulated upon his good judgment in coming to Hood River and picking out (lie place he did.

An Arkansas mechanic has invented a machine which he claims means per petual motion The inventor, J. S. Grimes, says he has devoted twelve years to its development. He took a circular piece cut from a thick board and trimmed down the edge to represent a circular switchback railway. ' In the center of this board he fastened a sec ond circular board on a stoel post w Inch fit into a ball-bearing bicycle axle. To the top board w fastened, by means of a rod, a small wheel w hich was so fixed that it would strike at each revolution of the npier board at a point near the top of the incline,! plane of the lower board, the lower board being slightly inclined. Grimes then placed a weight on top of the other dic, placed the wheel at the top of the inclined plane, released it and. the nmchiue began to move and continued in mot on nntil stopped by its inventor. It started by the wheel running down the incline on one side. This takes the weight on the opposite side away from the center of gravity and it carries the machine around until the wheel strikes the top of the incline again, when force is im parted to the revolving upjier disc The inventor says he worked for six years before he discovered a way to force the carrier wheel over the highest point of the circular tract, although the distance to overpume in this machine was less than an inch. Sore western capitalists have organized a company to' eitdoit the invention. .. Condition of Fruit Crop:-' -h Buyers nil the way from I'm i ice are iu Oregon, contracting prunes foship to French commission houses. They are going about the state from onedricr to another dealing with the grower' direct. Tlie prune crop is almost a to tal failu v in Fiance, and the 1'nited States consul writing from there to Sec retary l.ainherso'i of tho state lamrd of horticulture, says that uhvudy soon cuses of American pruiu-H have been sold in France.

Ackerman has compiled the school statistics of the state, from the reports received from the several county superintendents. The statement, to be used in the bi-en-nial report, shows that the total school population of the state is 1 38,4011, ac cording to the latest school census, of which number 100,059 were on the school registers during tlie last school year. The g.'hool libraries of the state show a healthy growth, the number of books purchased during tlie past year being 15,821 and the total number now in the libraries is 50,598. The total amount of nionoy available for school purposes was 1,,383,074.93, and the amount expended, $1,999,809.43 leaving a balance of $383,205.50. Owing to tlie extremely low stage of water in the Willamette" river, Oregon City is the center of attraction for adventurous spirits within reach of it. The dam placed across the river just above the brink of the falls -a few years ago is now a complete barrier to the water, as it all flows through the canal and mill races. This leaves he great Willamette, falls a hare precipice the fir-it time in history, and it is considered a rare treat to cross the same dry shod. Kodak fiends are in full force mid souv enir hunters are happy. The Dawson Nugget of Jul v 12 says: "Front Btreet grocery house is exhibit ing today a few boxes of home grown strawberries which are the first ever produced here. The berries were grown at West Dawson and are large and firm, and by the few fortunate people who have sampled them are pronounced of excellent flavor, The price asked for them is $2.00 per box." The Kugene (iuard makes a good point. It says of timber land values: "Oregon timber land owners should not'lie too anxious to sell for ten to twenty cents a thousand stumpane offers. In the Wisconsin and Michigan pine belts and their timber is about exhausted stumpage commands five to seven dol lars a thousand." Labor unions are not of' as recent date as many might suppose. The first la bor union was organized when Adam and Eve were hustled out of the garden of Eden and forced to work, earning a living by the sweat of the brow. Eugene Register. In Michigan tlie apple crop is badly affected by fungus. New York state has a full crop free from fungus. In Missouri, where the crop is much better than it was last year, the bitter rot has appeared and threatens to cut short tin marketable crop. A farmer at Feniiville, Mich., is mak ing a succes8of cultivating the common huckleberry. Cultivation increases the eize of the uerries, and there is always a profitable market for them. The bam of M. I). Farrington, at Wrenthen, this county, was destroyed by lire Monday. A horse, ten tons of hay, 75 sacks of wheat and farming im plements were burned. A New York apple grower claims that the flavor of a lungus-covered apple is finer under the fungus than even the fair fruit, and will keep better.
