The junior member of the Glacier firm aud wife enjoyed a visit Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Hill, In the Pine Grove district, East Side. The adjoining fruit farm of Wilson Fike was also visited. Mr. Hill and Mr. Fike were neighbors in Iowa two years ago, but desiring a more oougenial climate, both have located in Oregon. Tbey are here to make per manent homes, are now loyal Orego oians and believe firmly in the flatter ing prospects of the fruit industry in Hood River. Mr. Hill has 50 acres of land, all level, situated in the heart of the apple sec tion of Hood River valley. Thirty acres are planted to apple orchard, chiefly of the Spitzenburg and Yellow vuitnivn varieties. The trreater part of the orchard is only a year old, but It won't be lonir before Mr. Hill will be ...urUoiinir i 000 and 5.000 boxes of an pies, which amount will be doubled in fu vpnrs. It -la Mr. Hill's Intention to clear the rest of his land and to put it h I nto atnle trees, ma boh is a Imm. canable of producing gold medul world's fuir fruit. If irrigation iu found necessary as the trees grow older, the gentle slope of the farm will make t verv easy to water tne trees self durinsr the winter months. his bouse Mr. About Hill has left standing a eouoleof fine specimens of the noble nk. and has a small orchard of cher ries, peaches, pears, prunes, walnuts, etc. South from bis house Mr. Hill has a maaniflceut view of Mount Hood, while to the north, snow oimnod Mount Adams is lust as prom ineut. Mr. Hill paid 3,000 for his ranch two years ago and wouldn't sen tnrt.iv for 1 10.000. Mr. Fike came to Hood River last TWemher and purchased the Harbison Bros' properly of 117 acres, paying tlH 0.T0 for the same. From the thrifty ap earance of his farm and the great amount of work which he has done thiBonrlnir. it is easv to see that Mr like will succeed at applegrowing, and uri'.i .n a few years be one of the fruit kings of Hood River. Mr. Fike set out 22 acres of orchard this spring, and he miwhHs45 acres in apples, bpilzen hiipc and Yellow Newtowns are the rhi -f varieties set out. There is no ir ricatinir water as vet on the place, but his i. vear Harbison Bros, found clover could be successfully crown without water, and the same four-acre patch of hav Dresents a (food stand, btrawuer- ry plants look thrifty and vigorous without water. The bearing portion of Mr. Fike's orchard is very full of blooms, and should all the fruit set It will necessitate a larire amount of thin ning. U. A. Newman, futher-in-law of Mr. Fike. lives on the same tarm. Mr. Newman is well pleased with Oregoi and has about convinced himself to lo cate here permanently. Mr. Newman, his son and Mr. Fike have done all the work this spring on the 117 acres. Mr. Fike has a team of fine mares, which he brouizht with him from the Easl Mr. Hill located in Hood River 18 months ago, after traveling over all of the coast states. Mr. Hke and bis father-in-law. Mr. Newman, are here upon the recommendation of Mr. Hill Thev all are pleased with their new home, and the good people of the East Side have been joined by splendid neighbors. Great Future for the Pacific Coast. H. R. Lewis, of the Oriental-Auier ican company. Portland, visited his family in Hood River last week, and left Saturday on a business trip to New Y'ork. The Oriental-American company operates large United States bonded warehouses in Portland, and does an ex tensive business importing Oriental products and exporting Pacific coast goods. Mr. Lewis says his company has been importing a manufactured article from cocoa oil, which for some uses is super ior to butter. Tlie Eastern manufactur ers of butterine, rearing the competition of this cocoa oil, stirred up the govern ment authorities to demand payment of the 50 per cent duty imposed on but terine. This knocks out all the profits of the business. But as the imported product in question is not butterine, the Oriental-American people will stand suit until the article is recognized as what it is cocoa oil, which the Dingley tariff admits free. If the government fails to see thinirs this way, the company manufacturing the goods in the Orient will move its factory to the United States, import the crude oil and do the re tin ink! in this country. The Portland company doesn't propose to let its East ern competitors get the better of the deal. Mr. Lewis is enthusiastic over the good times he sees ahead for the Pacific coast, and predicts great changes in the next nve years. I tie present ngnt be tween the Jim Hill interests and the Ilarriman system means much for the coast, declares Mr. Lewis. If the Great Northern wins out it will put an end to the freight discrimination winch now hangs like a millstone around the necks of coast shippers. "Why, the success of Jiin Hill's tight means to the Pacific coast a benefit scarcely conceivable," remarked Mr. Lewis in coversation to a Glacier man "The Oriental commerce now handled by Boston and New Y'ork could then af ford to come directly across the Pacirit to Portland. Most people have no idea of the immensity of tin? trade w.lh the Far East." Mr. Lewis has been up and down the coast several times in the last month or two and says he finds business of all kinds very prosperous. East Side Grade Completed The improvements to the East Side grade were completed Saturday. This piece of road is now the best in Hood River valley. Mr. Brace, who has had charge of the work, has put in 40 days on the job, and will turn over to the county authorities a mile of the beet roadbed in Wasco county. The grade has been w idened, sharp curves reduced and the whole of it turnpiked. Provis ion has been made for carrying off the surface water in the rainy reason, and for tins purpose seven culverts of terra cotta tiling have been put in. At two narrow points, where heretofore it has been dithcult to keep the road bed from sliding into Hood river a hundred feet below, stone wall" of rock and cement have been built. These walls are three feet thick, 12 feet high, and 25 and 50 feet long. Bert Heath did tne niasonrv work. Some 250 fet of additional rail ing will tend to calm the nerves of peo ple who used to feel "shakv" behind a team on the old grade. Secure a Farm Sow The wise man w ill obtain possession of a good farm in the I nited Mates and stay with it. Most of the good land has been taken, and the lame places are he ing divided. Ten years more will see scarcely an unoccupied section that is really good farming land. With no more farming land to settle, with the limit of large crops reached, w ith the population increasing at the rate of hundreds of thousands yearly, and the foreign de- sleeo.

Harbison iB another of our old timers whom taste for farmins reauired more room than lie could set in Hood River vallev. Since selling hia farm on the East Side last winter to Wilson Fike of Iowa he has bought a highly improved farm four miles from Albany, in the Willamette valley', where he will engage in general farming and stock raising. His postofrice is Tangent, from which point he receives daily mail through rural free delivery. In 1857, in Hancock county, Illinois, E. W. Winans bought 15 acres of land and had it surveyed by Warren Miller, county surveyor, t he survey was cer tified to as being correct, and Mr. Wi nans has kept this certificate all these years. Last Saturday he met vt arren Miller, grandson of the old surveyor in Illinois, and gave him the certificate ol the survey made by his grandfather 47 years ago. V. A. Newman father-in-law of W. Fike, the new owner of the Harl.'.son place, called at the Glacier office laBt week and took a chance on the buggy. Mr. Newman came from the molintan oub regions of Southern Pennsylvania and finds the country here something like' his homeland. If he likes tlie situ ation here he will become a permanent resident of Hood River. Frank Pruitt, recently of Portland, has located with his family in Hood River and is living in. the H.L.Howe house on the hill. Mr. Pruitt is engaged in the plastering business and uses tlie Acme cement plastering, something new in these parts. He did the plastering work on E. W. Winans tine residence, also on Truman Butler's house. Dr. L. L. Pickens of Oregon City visited Captain Hhaw Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Pickens was accom panied" bv his wife.
