"Kestful Recreation Resorts" is the
title of a recent booklet published by
the ueneral liasseneer deDartment of the
O. R. & Ni It gives brief descriptions of
trips up and down the Columbia river
to the 'mountains, beaches and inland
resorts, and contains some of the best
half tone work ever done in Portland.
The material and artistic makeup of the
pamphlet is the work of K. M. Hall,
publicity promoter and advertising agent
for the O. R. & N. The reading matter
has been carefully prepared and well
written, and the grouping of views very
nicely done.
Hix pages are devoted to Hood River,
a "pomological paradise." Among the
illustrations appear the Devil s punch
bowl, a peep at Hood River, the beauti
ful onks and ( olumbia river, a typical
strawberry field, views on the road to
Mount Hood, Trout lake and Mount
Adams, the Country Club Inn, Mount
Hood, Cloud Cap Inn, the snow field
and glaciers. Three more pages describe
a trip to Mount Hood.
The descriptive matter on Hood River
is as follows:
Centered In dellarlit fill and charming sur
rnuiullngK, slxty-alx ml lex east of Portland,

Is Mount Hupd, perpetually covered with
snow, rearing Its head heavenward 11,22.5 feet,
and forming a picturesque background to
t he vitlley. And on the east and west are the
forest-covered foothills ol the Cascades.
A climb up through Hood River, along
streets shaded with beautiful and wide
spreading oak trees, to secure a view of the
productive belt, is well worth all the effort.
Nature has designed but few such scenes. The
panorama of river and valley, mountain, Meld
and forest, together with hundreds of well
kept fruit farms, delight the eye. Kor 20
miles the fertile tract stretches to the south,
Willi an average width of Ave miles, making
an urea of ItK) square miles or IH.OOO acres, of
which 80,(100 are tillable. Having Its source at
the base of Mount Hood, the stream of Hood
river, lee cold, winds Its way through the
valley, furnishing water for irrigating pur

the Columbia Just above the town.

Nurserymen Meet Here In 1!04.
Hood River w ill entertain the Pacific
Coast Association of Nurserymen next
summer. This is bemuse Hon. E. L.
Smith talked jaTsuasively on Hood
River at the neeond annual session in
Portland last Wednesday. St-attle and
Tactmia were prospective meeting places,
but Mr Smith presented too many in
ducements to come to Hood River, and
it took but one ballot to decide. About
75 nurserymen, many accompanied by
their wives, will come to Hood River.
The meeting will take place in Juue.
The new otliovrsof the association are:
S. A. Miller, Milton, president; J. B.
l'ilkington, Portland, vice president for
Oregon; J. A. Stewart, viee president
for Washington; l P. Hartley, Cald
well, Idaho, vice president for Idaho,
and P. A. Hi, Salt 1-ake, vice president
for l lah Messrs l-ewis, Kckert and
Hartley, together with the president and
secretary, constitute the executive com
mittee. C. A. Tonneson, Taeoma, was
'elected sevrelarv-treasurer.
M. MclVmald, of the Oregon Nursery
company, was made a delegate to the
National Association of Nurserymen at
their meeting to be held in ietroit,
Mich.. June 11, for the purpose of ex
tending an invitation to that body to
hold their meeting in l!H)o at Portland
during the Lewis and Clark exposition.
Hon. E. L. Smith read an interesting
paper entitled, "The Nurseryman from
the Standpoint of the Orchardist."
Flour Mill Hay Locate Here.
With proper encouragement Hood
River may secure a flouring mill. John
Alpin and E. J.Hubbertof theCorneliug
Flouring Mills company, Cornelius, Or.,
were in Hood river this week studying
the advisability of moving their milling
plant to this- city. E. J. Hnbbert is a
nephew of E. R. Bradley, the job printer,
who introduced Messrs. Alpin and Hib-
bert to several members of the Commer
cial club, and the mill question was dis
cussed informally. The gentlemen
expect to return in a few days when
more definite action will be taken
The plant of the Cornelius mill has a
capacity of 100 barrelsaday and employs
o or 10 men. it the mm is moved to
Hood River the company will utilize
steam power until later when arrange
ments will probably be made to secure
electricity from the Tucker Power com
pany. The fact that the Cornelius mills
get all their grain from Eastern Oregon
and Washington leads them to seek
mill location nearer their base of supply
No More Wagon Transfers.
Heretofore during high water, when it
lias been impossible tor a steamer from
Portland to get to Cascade Locks, the
transfer has been made from Bonneville
by wagons. These wagons have been'
run on the Washington side of the river,
and the transfer was a tedious and dusty
affair. It resulted in long delays, and
the passengers were wearied of their
ride before they reached their destina
tion.
This year the Regulator company has
arranged so that the passengers and
freight will be transferred from Bonne
ville to Cascade Locks by the O. R. & N,
The steamers are landing within a few
feet of the railroad tracks, and the trans
fer to a special train is arranged quickly
and without contusion
The Regulatory is now running out of
Portland as far as Bonneville, where
her passengers and freight are taken by
special train to Cascade Locks. The
Dalles Citv runs from Cascade Locks to
The Dalles.
Wants to Put In Pine Needle Factory
II. 11. McCarthy of Grants Pass was
n Hood Kiver Monday and Tuesday
with a view to locating a pine needle
factory here. A pine needle factory is
something new and unique, but lias been
bund to be a success in Grants Pass,
where Mr. McCarthy has an extensive
plant. Oil is the direct product of a pine
needle factory, and the dried needles, as
by-product go to nil matrasses, etc.
Children gather and furnish the greater
part of the pine needles Mr. McCarthy
considers that he could make good use
of the pine now being burned with each
acre of cleared ground.
Season Opens at North Beach.
Those who are planning their vacation
this year will be nterested in knowing
that the popular excursion steamer, the
T. J. Potter iiueeu of river boats goes
n to service June 27, and that sne will
leave Portland, during the season, every
day from Tuesday until Saturday in
clusive. To see the beauties of the pic
turesque and mighty Columbia from the
leeks ul the i tier is a treat never to be
orgotteu. For speed and grace nothing
in river or lake service in tne entire
West equals this side-wheeled beauty.
Five hours from Portland and one from
Astoria, through the famous fishing
waters of the Columbia, past score of
fishing traps and nets and at many
white-winged fish boats, lands the pas
sengers at Uwaco, where close connection
is made for beach points with trains of
the llwaco Railway & Navigation com
pany, w hose cars' stand on the wharf
awaiting the steamer. The beach is 27
miles long, 200 yards wide at low tide,
and so hard that carriage wheels scarcely
leave a mark. It is an ideal place for
driving, riding, wheeling or walking, and
the surf bathing is unsurpassable. The
excellent hotels and boarding houses
provide good accommodations at prices
ranging from one dollar to three dollars
per day.
The round trip rate from Portland to
Astoria is (2 50. To Ocean beach points
4.00, good until October 15. On Satur
days during July and August, round trip
ticket are sold to beach points at (2.50,

After dinner, conveyances were at

Barnes the Real Estate lan
OFFERS THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS:
To the Seller:
DON'T list your property unle&s you want to sell, and if you nre num-ied
be sure both parties interested will sign the deed.
, DON'T quote one price to the agent and another and lower price to the
buyer. It is not fair to the agent.
DON'T quote a net price to the agent and tell him he may have fill he can
get above that. It's not fair to the buyer.
DON'T raise the price on your property every time a sale is made in your
vicinity.
DON'T list your property today, expecting a saleiomorrow. Give your
agent time enough to work ' it thoroughly,-'their if he fails to make a sale, try
another agent.
To the Buyer:
If you are a stranger, inquire for a reliable agent and tell him what you want
a's near as you can. Look at the property he has. Then if you cannot find
what you want, try another agent. The best medium in the world through
which to negotiate a real estate deal is a real estate agent best for the buyer
and best for the seller.
DON'T be afraid to tell the agent how much money you wish to invest in
property it will save much time. If you wish to invest $10,000, it is useless
for the agent to show you property valued at $2,000, or visa versa.
DON'T get the agent to describe a piece of property, to give you the owner's
name, etc., and then go direct to the owner and thus try to avoid paying the
commission. You may possibly save a few dollars, but you will lose your self
respect.

H ungate is a brother of Mrs. Mathews.
The party have been making a tour of
the Pacific coast and from here went to
a family reunion at Walla Walla. Mr.
Mathews drove the party out over the
valley, Sunday, and all were delighted
with Hood River.
E. H. Shepard intends to learn all
there is to know about the strawberry
business, and with each crate of berries
he incloses a card with this wording:
"If this crate does not arrive in good
shape, state briefly condition and fault
on back of this card and send by return
mail to E. H. Shepard, Hood River, Or
egon.'.'
"Just some culls from C. E. Mark
hams place," remarked a man last Fri
day as he handed the Glacier editor a
box of handsome strawberries, which
went 9 to the layer. We do not know
what Markham's marketable berries are
like, but hope the Glacier will be favored
with some more of his "culls."
J. H. Thomas, a recent arrival from
Newberg, has purchased the Arthur Dis
brow 80 acres in the Mount Hood settle
ment, and intends to become one of
Hood River's successful fruit growers.
Mr. Thomas is arranging to purchase a
grubbing machine, which he expects to
put into immediate use.
D. R. Cooper tells ns the Mount Hood
people will celebrate the 4th of July this
year in the good old way. Read the an
nouncement in another column extend
ing an invitation to everybody to par
ticipate in an old time picnic. There
will also be games and amusements and
a good time, to be sure.
James Hardy, a Glacier reader at
Woodburn, Oregon, writes that doctors
have ordered his wife to Hood River for
her health. Mr. Hardy requests extra
copies of the Glacier sent East so that
his Iowa friends may learn something
about this country.
The Scene at Hood River.
No stranger town lies anywhere
Than this they call Hood River;
Whose sweet air drives away all care,
Whose snow scenes make yon shiver.
No grander scene in all the world
E'er erased a d ream ing poet
Than this by Nature's band unfurled,
Where man may live and know It.
Beneath It flows that mighty stream
Of Bryant fame and glory;
Beside it rolls that other dream
That tells its own great story.
Around It In spectral chain
Great mountains heave their ridges,
As If great floods once bid Its plain
When they were groat stone bridges.
Here, couched and held in Nature's arms,
At no great elevation,
Hood Kiver stretches forth its charmx.
Inviting all the nution.
What motive hadm thou, Nature's hand,
In molding here this vision,
Where sickness leaves at thy conimsnd,
And man draws new decision

The Indian strawberry pickers proved
a great attraction to the Germans, who
made all sorts of attempts to focus their
kodaks on interesting groups of abo
rigines. One venturesome visitor got
more than he was looking for. Not
aware of the natural aversion of the In
dians to being photographed, he rushed
up to a squaw and was adjusting his
kodak when the Indian woman turned
upon him, infuriated, and smashed the
machine with a stone. The German
was glad to escape with his scalp, and
didn t venture after any more Indian
pictures. Wonder bow 'the German
people would feel if visitors to their
country would become so familiar with
the camera?
