A I'liii'iii'H. The fortunate one who
Ixiuglit ihiH vuluithle piece of rent es
lute is 1-otiia Ploji of Mupleton, lowu.
The iM) eie include all of I lie im

served the fruit crop, and the apple

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.

Claims Perpetual .Votiou.
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.

Coe Barnard performed a very un
usual teat a few days ago, when he
l:iKso?d a full grown doe on Deep creek,
a few miles southwest of F'ossil. Coe
was riding a f ist saddle horse when he
sighted t he deer, and having no gun,
decided to make u try for the game
with Ids lariat. He immediately gave
chase, up hill and down, over smooth
ground and rough, ami three tini"s
came within roping distance of the
fleeing deer. The lirst throw coin
pletely encircled the deer, whic'i saved
Itself !' "Icjlping the loo;)." Coe
scored a mis v. itll his second throw,
but with the third caught tlie deer
fairly around the neck. Wishing to
take the deer home alive, and not be
ing able to lead or drive iier, Coe tied
her to a willow with the intention of
going lifter her next d.iy with a hack,
but unfo! tunntcly (lie serious illnesH of
a friend prevented liis doing h i at that
time, and w hen he did go on the fol
lowing day his captive was dead, hav
ing expired cither from thirst or a
broken heart; probably I he hitter, us
from all indication she was sin kling a
fawn when chawed from her lair.
