Edi tor Glacier: A few weeks asro an arti cle appeared in your paper over the si nature of the board of directors of the Hood River Irrigating comoanv. which stated in effect that I had resigned the position of manager of the above-named company, owing to press ot personal business. The article in Question was entirely without my authority or of the Doara oi directors, it was not my in tention . to pay any attention to the matter, and I would not do so at ill late day, only that a great nianv people throughout the vallev have htn mis led, and have repeatedly asked me to deny tne statement tnroueti. the press as they say the opinion has cone out tnat 1 had deserted the canal proposi tion. I came to the valley to build a canal and will not leave until I have the best irrigation system in operation on the coast in this valley. I shall be on hand next Saturday at your citizens mass meeting to explain to the people what we are trying to do, and how w are getting along. I shall also take this I opportunity of assuring the people of the valley that we will have water here according to tne terms or our contract, very respectfully, t. U. uryant, Vice and Acting President of the Hood Kiver Irrigating Company. 3(ood Iftver Slacier THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1903. Gathered Statistics on Hood River. Hon. A. LeRoy, who is visiting East ern Oregon cities in the interest of the Oregon Information Bureau, spent Sat urday in Hood River, gathering data regarding the valley's fruit and lumber industries. Mr. LeRoy is the father of Mrs. Will Rand, and remained in the city over Sunday visiting with his daughter. The Oregon Information Bureau, in whose interest Mr. LeRoy is working, is maintained by the citizens of Port land, at their own expense, and with it an exhibit of Oregon's resources, on die plav in rooms at the Union depot, Port land. Charles E. Ladd is president of the board of trustees and W. M. Killings- worth secretary. The work of the bu reau is further explained by the fol Jawing extract from a circular addressed to the people ot Oregon : " "What the state most needs today is development, and this can only be ac complished by securing and fostering immigration, and for this purpose the i bureau was organized. The state is being thoroughly advertised through the efforts of the Harriman system and the Lewis and Clark centennial fair in 1005. The people are coming. Our ob ject therefore will be to provide such in formation as will be best suited to their needs, and be most effective in securing results that will be of lasting benefit to the state. To do this effectually will require a complete inventory of the resources of the state, whether in its crude or in its developed condition. It will require a long time and much work to compile such facts, and it cannot be completed in time for the work now upon us. We therefore desire for imme diate use, such information as can be gained only through the co-operation of every one inter ested in the welfare of the state. We should like to have as accurate a list as possible of all available lands in each county, either open to settlement, or that can be purchased, together with a description of such lands, the purpose for which it is best fitted, the price at which it can be had, and the name of some one at the nearest railroad station to whom we can refer strangers and feel assured that they will he assisted in securing a location adapted to their wants, with the least possible delay and expense. We wish our information to be accurate, as any misrepresentations will retard our object and reflect on the sincerity of our motives." Anything intended for the depot ex hibit'will be transported free of charge by boat or rail. Address all matter, "Oregon Information Bureau, Portland, Or." TO PRKHBRVR FRUIT FOR EXHIBIT. Mr. leRoy addressed the apple grow ers after their meeting Saturday after noon and urged them to send samples of fruit for exhibit. For preserving fruit of any kind for exhibit, Mr. Le Roy, on the authority of George Coote, professor of floriculture and gardening at the Corvnllis college, recommended the use of W. W. Chase's anti-ferment-ine tablets, which may be had at any drug store. This method is said to be simple and effective. Apple Growers' Union Adopt By-Laws The stock-holders of the Hood River Apple Growers' Union met Saturday afternoon in the rooms of the Commer cial club and elected the follow ing board of directors: F.

It is go con structed its to handle eggs without breaking them, and will therefore do thw work of wrapping fruit without bruising it. Papers are cut in squares as fed from a continuous roll. Pacific Farmer. Apple Crop of the lulled States. Chicago Record-Herald. Few people have any conception of the enormous volume and value of the apple crop of the United State., The exports of apple last year from the United States were 2,543,759 barrels. All of them went to Great Britain ex cept 14d,o41 barrels to Germany and M,iW! to other countries. The census of 1H00 showed a total of 210,000,000 tree in what are known as Commercial orchards that is, orchards maintained to sell fruit to the regular trade. This does not Include the mil lions of trees in the back yards of the towns and villages throughout the oouutry. The Increase during the last ten year, since the census of 1S90, was 75,0O,0O0 trees more than 40 per cent and the yield of P.tUO from the com mercial orchards alone was more than 175.000,000 bushels. By districts, the north Atlantic states have 3i.5ii0,00u tree, the south Atlantic 25.500,0u0,-the northern central stalse 92,000,000, the southern central states 31,000,000, and the reBt of the country 13,000,000. Out of the total number of trees in the United Stales, the north and south central districts have 123, 205,000, or nearly three-fifths of the whole. These are divided among the principal apple beurlng states as fol lows: Trees. I Trees.

Missouri has nearly twice as many trees as Michigan, and yet Michigan raises nearly 50 per cent more apples than Missouri. This is ex plained, like many other things, bv the character of the trees and the umount of cultivation given tbem. New York undoubtedly has the best apple trees in the country, aud the returns of her apple harvest show it. Angora Moats a Success. George Rordan, who has an excel lent ranch in the foot hills just above what was formerly the Connell dace. finds that Angora goats are a great suc cess. Besides getting 35 cents a pound f. o. b., for the mohair, the goats are most useful in clearing laud. Mr. Rordan says if he had placed goats on his place i -'years ago, he would be IS.000 or 110.000 better off today. He now has a flock of 90 goats, having started three years ago with 12. He has a registered buck among his flock and intends to raiseonlv thoroughbred Angoras. 1 he goats require no feeding at all. except a little hay or oats straw when the snow covers the ground. The ani mals are death to brush and scrub oak. and will peel the bark from a tree the size of a stove pipe. In a few years after the goats destroy the growing brush, the roots will have rotted out and the land is then easily prepared for the plow. Mr. Rordan is satisfied that Angora goats are a paying business. Extends Thanks to Hood River People Another echo from the recent visit of German agriculturists to Hood River has been sounded, this time from the department of agriculture at Washing ton. To the many who helped enter tain the visitors the following letter will be of interest: Department of Agriculture, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D. C, Julv 17, 1903. Mr. E. L. Smith, President Oregon State Hoard of Horticulture, Hood River, Or. Dear Sir: The de partment of agriculture expresses to rou and tne citizens of Hood River and "the Hood River valley iu hearty thanks for demonstrating to the party of German agriculturists the methods of strawberry culture and orcharding employed, and for calling their attention to the agricul tural possibilities of yoor section. Very respectfully yours, J. H. Brioram, Assistant Secretary. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson Copple left last week on an extended visit to their old home in Illinois. On their way East they visited at Pendleton. They ex pect to be gone until September. More Time on College Proposition, The question of moving Philomath college cannot be settled until the an nual conference next June. 11ns gives those desirous of securing the institu tion for Hood River almost a year for their work, which makes the committee having the matter in charge all the more sanguine, and there is every indi cation that the undertaking will prove successful. - Elder J. T. Merrill and Rev. II. C Shaffer returned Saturday from Philo math, and report prospects very good for Hood River, though Everett, Wash. they say, is making a strong flght for the college, the .business Men s associa tion of that city has taken up the mat ter, and has ottered a tract ot land in the heart of town where lots are selling for $1,000 and more. But Hood River has a strong advantage in climate. As the college will not be moved this year the payments for the lots, should the college come here, will be 50 per cent July 1, 1904, and 50 per cent October 1 1904. The enort so far lias been to sell 150 lots, but it is now thought that if the business men of Hood River and the people of the valley will buy 115 lots at from $150 to t50 each, the college can be secured. Not long ago the college received bequest in the shape of a tract of land worth from $8,000 to $12,000. There are also fair prospects of an endowment fund of from $80,000 to $100,000 from wealthy woman in the East. "Soma aru . asking why the college desires w change location," said Mr. Shaffer. "To tell the truth, a large number of the trustees do not so desire, but those who do, say the onlv reason is that there are eight colleges within radius ol 6U miles of Philomath, and that in a larger field more students could be had. "Philomath college isor.e of the oldest in the state. It was launched in 1805, and has a history of which it is deserv edly proud. Its graduates are found ir all the walks of lite. Dr. Louis Albert Banks, one of the first graduates, is now pastor of one of the wealthiest Method ist churches in America, located in New York City. His books are perhaps more extensively read than of any other religious writer unless it is (Jharles Sheldon's. Profesor J. B. Horner, Lit. 1)., of the state agricultural college, who lectured in Hood River a year ago. is another honored graduate. He is also an author of considerable repute. A number of graduates are county superintendents in Oregon and Wash ington, while some of the leading bust ness men, lawyers and physicians of Portland are sons of Philomath college. Teachers, almost without number, re ceived their training in the normal course of this institution. The normal course is a stronger one than any given by the state normal schools. Last year. four graduates taught at Brownsville, one of them as principal. Every year more calls are received by the faculty for teachers than can be supplied. the moral influence of the school is very good. As an illustration, one of the professors of one of our state schools sent his son to Philomath last year on this account. Some have objected to assisting a denominational school in locating here, out there is nothing in the course of study of a sectarian character, and it has the advantage of a denomination of 250,000 members back of it, financially. This has meant in recent years an an nual income of about $2,000 from the East, besides an annual income from the Oregon conference, which, while not large, is regular. , , MEANS $30,000 A YEAB TO BOODRIVEB. Suppose the college locates here, and the attendance is at first only 150, and suppose that each student spends $200 per year, you have a total of $30,000 per year. Then many people would lo cate here for college privileges. There are five families now who are waiting to see what Hood River will do, and if we secure the college they w ill move here and buy or build homes.- "Inside 6t two vears after York college located at York, Neb.,00 families moved to that place on account of the college. Divide that by two and gay that 30 will move here, and count an average expenditure of $500 per year, and yon have a total of $15,000 worth of business added, or a grand total of $45,000, at a conservative estimate. Then again, Washington seminary, now located at Huntsville, near Waitsburg, Washing ton, may unite with Philomath college should it come here. "But this is only the business side of the question."
