entertain tne uerman farmers on their
visit here June 4. It is the intention to
ask the fruit growers of the valley to
unite wun me townspeople in arrange
ments to receive the visitors and to
take them over the valley. A straw
berry festival in the open air is also
spoken of. There are a number of Hood
River fruit growers, among whom are
the most practical and successful horti
culturists and farmers of the valley, who
are natives of Germany, and these cit
izens are requested to lend their ser
vices in seeing that the guests from the
Fatherland learn something of apple
ana strawDerry culture as it is done in

ranged later.

Mrs. M. A. bcobee, who is an expert

Bros., on the East Side, Wednesday of
last week. Mrs. Hcobee did nearly all
the apple packing during the winter on
the big apple ranch of Watt & Hlocom.
Mrs. Scobee's average was 35 to40 boxes
a day. Sixty-three boxes of 4-tier apples
in one day is the highest record Blie has
reached.
Captain Blowers and family are
camped in their new barn and in tents
on the ground where the captain is pre
paring Jo build a commodious dwelling.
The location is a delightful one, in the
upper part of Blowers addition, where
he has three acres of land inclosed.
The captain has a good sized strawberry
patch and will amuse himself farming iii
a small way. L. N. Blowers and fami
ly are camped in tents at the same place,
awaiting the removal of the occupants
of the house they recently purchased.
The fruit and produce trade is too big
a proposition to stand still while other
hues are pushing out and building up.
Because the leading houses in the past
have not taken the initiative and ex
tended "territory" is no reason why this
should not be done in the future. Indi
vidual solicitors are all right in thtir
place, but there is something wanting
the "trade extension" tour Mils the gap.
In othei mercantile lines "buyers' ex
cursions" are now an established feature
everywhere, and in return the whole
salers return these visits. These fea
tures were a necessity their success
shows this. The same necessity exists
in the fruit and produce trade, and the
"trade extension trip is but the fore-1
runner of the "growers' visits" which
will come in time. Chicago Packer.
An ad in the Glacier found a lost hand
bag for A. S. Holmes, who lost the same
on the Mosior road about March 10. A
small ad was inserted in the Glacier two
weeks later, and last Friday the editor
was notified of its whereabouts. Mr.
Holmes was gratified at the recovorv of
the Batchel, not eo much because of its
value, but for the family keepsakes it
contained and which could not be re
placed. Mr. Holmes and family came
overland from Montana last summer,
spent the fall in Crook county, and are
now located on the Hiscock place, for
merly the Charlie Rogers' property, at
Frankton. He is very much pleased
with Hood River.

deal of the Hood River country, and he
now has one of the prettiest and best
fruit ranches in the valley.

cause of the high price, but their supe
rior quality soon won recognition.

as one could wish for. The balmy spring
air made it seem as if summer were at
hand. Probably few people remember,
but it was just such a beautiful day in
Oregon, May 1, 1898, five years ago,
when Dewey whipped the Spanish in
Manila bay.

says everything is lively out at that re
sort, the price of land having doubled
since last summer. Mr. Guler has just
completed two summer cottages, which
be has already rented and is contem
plating putting up another. He is ex
pecting a number of people from Port
land 'his year, having already been in
communication with several who hare
planned to summer there. A great ad
vantage over last year will be the fact
that about two hours less time will be
consumed in making the trip out from
White Salmon. Starting from that
place at 7:30, the traveler will reach
Guler's in time for dinner, whereas they
formerly took that meal on the way out.

scraping, which continued all day. Mon
day wagons were kept busy carrying the
debris away and that town was left a
model of neatness. In the evening a
