EDITORS TO MEET
Oregon Newspaper Men
1904 The Meeting at Salem a Success
John Cradlebaugh in Verse Again Albert
Tozier Writes to
The editors of Oregon will hold their
next annual gathering at Hood River,
in 1904, thanks to Mrs. Edith Tozier
Weatherred, George II. Hinies and a
bix of big red apples distributed by
K. N. Wythe of the Glacier. And they
are coming, too. Everybody in Oregon
has heard of Hood River. Those who
liuve been here are anxious to come
again, while the others, having been
told all about Hood Uiver hospitality,
scenery and fruitH, wish to enjoy these
good things themselves.
The sessions of the Press Association
at Salem last week were well attended,
and altogether it was a very successful
and profitable meeting. Some excel
lent papers were read containing advice
and suggestions valuable to newspaper
makers. The Salem Tress club looked
after the entertainment of the visitors,
and Editors Hofer of the Journal and
Hendricks of the Statesman worked
night and day to see that everything
wentoffin good shape.
President Arthur Conklin of Grant's
Pass presided at the meetings. Albert
Tozier of Portland was there as secre
tary, of course. His annual report
showed among other tilings that there
ait' SL'ti publications in Oregon, of which
19 are dailies, 1K0 weeklies, 7 semi-
weekly, 18 monthlies, 1 semi-monthly
and 1 quarterly.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway attended
all the sessions. She is one of the old
est members of the association, and
Thursday evening her co-workers in
journalism joined Mrs. Edyth Tozier
Weatherred in a resolution extending
greeting to Mrs. Duniway, it being the
(ll)th auniversary of her birth. Ore
gon's ablest advocate of equal suffrage
has lost not one whit of the mental
vigor of her former years, and declares
her cause is only sleeping a sleeping
lion, as she expressed it.
Among the addresses of particulur
interest was one by Dennis H. Stovall,
whose subject was, "How One Secures
Recognition us a Writer for Monthly
Magazines." Mr. Stovull lives at
Grant's Pass, lie has a bright future
us a writer.
"Newspaper Circulation" was told of
by Wilbur F. liroek of the Portland
Oregonian. On this topic. Mr. lirock
was perfectly at home, and to muiiy
his remarks were particularly interest
ing. The annual election of olllccrs of the
association resulted as follows: Pres
ident, IS. L. Moorehead, Junction City;
first vice president, E. Hofer, Salem ;
stMsind vice president, George M. Corn
wall, Portlaud, Oregon Timbernian;
secretary, Albert Tozier, Portland;
treasurer, Frances E. Gotshall; his
torian, Geo. II. Hinies; sergeant-alarms,
Arthur Conklin. All these elec
tions were by unanimous vote
John II. Cradlebaugh, who is now
telegraph editor and paragrapher on
the Salem Evening Journal, read the
following poem. Cradlebaugh is the
same jovial John, and still hits a long
ing in his big warm heart for Hood

And we can smile and wink the other eye.
No loiiK-halred poet here for long can bore
you
(The fellow's bold who sends these lines be.

No yell for copy can disturb you here,
And well, you needn't even "jeff" for beer,
Jieennse don't start, or let the fact astound
you
There's "Capital" In plenty all around you,
And It's all youra, e give to you the keys,
And only say, "Do with It what, you please;"
Adding, to this our inner heart's best greeting,
Itegretting that your visit Is so fleeting.
Yet of your culling I would say a word,
If you'll permit me longer to be heard.
There's no pursuit, In all the wide domain,
Asks more of labor or gives less of gain,
l'lns every statement closer to the fact,
Claims wiser Judgment or a nicer tact.
Its tasks demand yon sometimes walk alone,
Wit h moral bravery and a stiff backbone,
Rewarded only for n gallant tight
My knowledge that you struggled fur the right;
Yet, If perchance you get an ugly fall,
What matters. If you battled for us allf
We're apt to say of every busy mart,
The city's business Is the city's "heart"
Keen com; etltlon and the ceaseless strife.
These, If It please you, are the city's "life"
The boats, the cars, In endless rows arrayed,
Define the well-knowu "arteries of trade."
The mayor and the councllmen, 'tis said,
I'rovide the city's "conscience" and Its
"head"
Hut over all, and greater than the whole,
The city's paper Is the city's soul.
What nobler alms can any calling give?
To touch the way humanity should live,
To put our feelings in the senle with right,
And give Just Judgment, should the first be
lighl.
The ills of vice In fitting words to paint,
To drub a sinner or to praise a saint,
To play at all times the full, manly part,
With cleanly conscience and a generous heart,
Unswayed by favor and unmoved by fear,
A smile for pleasure and for pain a tear,
And charity, when others' weakness calls.
That silence may catch censure ere It falls.
The foe of wrong, the steadfast friend of right,
long may you live to fight the gallant fight,
And when another year be passed, why then,
Here's hoping all of us may meet again.
ADDRKSS RY R M. HALL.
R. M. Hall, advertising agent for the
0. R. A N., discussed railroad adver
tising and the work his company is do
ing in spreading information about Ore
gon among the people of the Ea9t. Mr.
Hall said in part:
It is useless to impress upon you the
results from exploiting our Oregon
scenery. Here only a year and I am
wedded to the state. Nowhere in the
entire world has nature been more lav
ish with her handiwork and scattered
more picturesque scenes, encompassing
our cities with a magnificent and imper
ishable art gallery of verdure-clad and
lofty mountains, whose snow-capped
peaks defy the sun's warmest rays, and
look down upon fertile valleys that fair
ly groan with their weight of golden
grain and fruit. Journey to Switzerland,
stand on some mountain and gaze o'er a
landscape of lake, forest.alpine crag and
snow-caps; then return and look once
more from some Oregon height, letting
the eye grasp at a single sweep the pan
orama ol river and valley, mountain,
field and forest, the beauties of the sky
as the sun drops behind the western
mountains into the bosom of the ocean,
and the memory of Swiss grandeur will
merge into the reality Oreeon, the
beautiful, the gent state of the Pacific.
To you busy newspaper men, let me
say that the truth a 1 wut Oregon is good
enough. '1 he facts do not need stretch
ing, or coloring, but don't forget to keep
everlastingly at it in your news and edi
torial columns, thousands will read
what you say and thousands will come.
Once here, let them wander awhile niid
our golden fields of grain, our perfumed
orchards, and beautilul forests, let them
drink of our healthful waters, breathe
our pure air, and they will joiu with us
in saying:
'lis a treasure vault of Nature,
And the world lis rtehea crave.
For the milk sucked from Its txxwin
Would a nuiion'B famine save.
All the wealth of held and forest,
All I lie wealth ol mount and plain,
Walt the stroke of blade and hammer
To yield up their hidden grain.
'Tis a land thai doubly favored

And the frowning of the heavens
When the cooling rain drops come.

. Hood River w ill get the editors next
year. She did it with her big red
apples. Salem Statesman.
The prow delegate badges were made
of while ribbon and printed with gold
let ters, which has to do with this story. !
A Ouncu of newspaper men and women
were strolling about the city, when a
workman on the lawn, catching sight
of the "white ribboners," called out:
"I see you are wearing the white rib
bon. That's right. Iain one of them,
too."
"la it true that this water has been
boiled?" asked R. M. Hall of a waitress
at the Willamette hotel. "If it hasn't,
it's been roasted enough," remarked
Mrs. WeaUi-rred.
E. L. Smith of Hood River is about
the best known man in Oregon, and
many people think he is the one fruit
grower of Hood River. A half dozen
people wanted to know of the Glacier
man as he distributed Ills box of apples
if they were grown by Sir. Smith.
Salem on the Willamette.
Salem, the capital of Oregon, and
the second city of importance in the
state, lias a population of 14 ,500. Wilh
its broad and well-paved streets, and
rows and rows of shade trees, beautiful
residences and substantial public build
ings, Salem is the prettiest town In
Oregon. The city covers a great ueal
of territory, making the street car sys
tem, which reaches every part of town,
a great convenience.
The business houses of Salem do a
good retail trade and have a large scope
of country to draw from. Rut it is du
ring the biennial sessions of the legis
lature that Salem is a lively city. Then
it is the rendezvous of the politicians ot
the slate, and half tbu population of
Portland is there.
Salem Is well supplied with daily
newspapers, each of which t horoughly
cover the field. The Statesman, the
morning paper, has had a continuous
existence since 1854. The Evening
Journal, bright and spicy, is Editor
Hofer's paper. He has a daily circula
tion of over 2,000 and is the one news
paper man in Oregon w ho admits he
is making money.
Notification of Acceptance.
Hon. E. L. Smith, Hood River, Or.
Dear Sir: Answering your teiegram of
October 22, inviting the Oregon Pres
Associotiou to hold its next annual
meeting in the premium fruit district
of the United States, permit me to
officially inform you that said invita
tion was unanimously accepted not
withstanding the fact that the world's
fair management at St. Louis extended
a very cordial invitation for our asso
ciation to meet there.
Our members well know the fame of
River, and the members of the Oregon
Press Association have ever praised that
section of the universe.
Hood River bad able champions on
the floor of the convention in the pet
sons of two of her citizens, Edward N.
Blythe of the Hood River Glacier, who,
following the example of our illustrious
ancestor, Mr. Adam, raised Cain by
presenting to each and every member
one of those flve-to-t he-peck apples,
and Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred,
publisher of the Exposition.
We know that II Hid River has t lie
world's record for strawberries, that
Grandma Munra is conducting the
Country Club there, and that my old
time teacher, John Leland Henderson,
can swim farther and faster than any
steer that ever tackled the icy waters
of the Columbia, therefore it is believed
that nothing additional need be said
iu order to bring to Hood River next
year t tie largest number of members of
the Oregon Press Association that ever
assembled at any gathering in the
state.
Assuring you that future generations
will rise up from their cradles and bliss
the fruit growers of Hood River for
having invited the Oregon Press Asso
ciation to assemble there in annual'
convention next year, I am just plain
Albkkt Tozirr,
Secretary Oregon Press Association.
We'll be There With the Apples.
Portland Oregonian.
Hood River orcharding will have to
exert themselves to retain the laurels
of that section as the best apple pro
ducing region in the state, as Scappoose
is coming to the front in a style which
is likely to"yank the bun." The finest
apples seen at the permanent exhibit
tlii s season, and the equal of which Sec
retary Lambertson says cannot be found
in the city, is a box of three-tier North
ern Hpy, sent in to be preserved for ev
hibition, by Asa Holaday of Scappoose.
They are perfect in shape and color, and
entirely free from scab, scale and codlin
moth, and as for size, the fact that three
tiers in width and depth rill a regula
tion box is all that need be said. If
Hood River can show a finer box of
apples now is the time to do so. Mr.
Holaday's orchard is still young, but lie
supplied much fine fruit from it to lie
forwarded to Commissioner Doseh at
Buffalo. He has never been obliged to
spray his trees for protection against the
codlin moth nor has he been troubled
with the San Jose scale or other insect
pests. There are some old orchards
at Scappoose which have never been
troubled by such pests, and it
is thought that there is a strip
of country there in which tlu-e
pesta are not likely to get a foot-hold,
owing to some exposure to the breeze of
the Columbia. A sight of this box of
three-tier Northern Spy apples and a
breath ot their st.icy aroma will repay
any admirer .f hue fruit for a visit to
the permanent exhibit.
How to le trojr the Mole
There is one p t that has demolished
many a beautiful juwu.and the world's
fair landscape gaidenera at St. Louis
had a short ts.ul with it before thcy
succeeded in overcoming it. This sst
is the mole. These little fellows with
wonderfully powerful fore paws, and
soft and gley fur, burrow a few inches
under the surm of the grouii'l and
raise ridges in the lawn. The moles
feed on ihe earthworms and harm the
roots of the grass only incidentally.
Hut if the moles are not killed they
ill destroy the lawn. Traps are fret ly
advertised but seldom prove ett'ective.
The foreman of the landscape garden
ers is a fearful foe to the mole. He
watched Mr. Mole and studied him.
The mole takes his meals regularly at
6 a. m., noou and 6 n. ni.. and at any
of these hours is the time to catch Into.
The ridges made by the mole must
be beateu dowu, and watched. When
the mole goes over the mute again l!ie
ridge is again raised. Then the proe sg
is easy, lake a spade, drive it in-(lie
ground acroM the mole's route and le
hind him. Unless this is done he wll

HOOD RIVER POTATO
Tup Picture and story reproduced herewith apiMiired In the Portland Oivgnnian,
i jetliner 11, ijy:i 1 he incident happened as related, and was gotten un for the
ltu Hand taper by Mrs. Will U. Mac Hue, a member of the oregonian stall', unit
w ho recently beouine tt Hood River land-owner. The potato came n'om the olllee
or names tne real estate man, and was growu by U. I,. Kobinsoii of the East Hide.
When the Spokane flyer pulled into Union depot yesterday morning
anil a josdling, hurrying crowd of travelers was pouring out of the tram a
bystander near the baggage car heard the following animated conversa
tion between two "baggage smashers":
"Well, what do you think of that? Of all the whoppers I ever say,
Bill, just take a squint at this potato! Don't she beat the record?"
"She's a peacherino, sure wonder where it came from" examining
the check.
"I'll bet the treats it was raised in Oregon," confidently wagered the
first spokesman.
"Be switched if you're not right this time it was cheeked from Hood
River. I've seen apples from up there nearly as big as a peck measure,
but when it comes to raising Irish potatoes the size of a valise well, it
beats anything I ever 6aw in the vegetable line!"
While this conversation was going on, a lipge Irish potato bearing a
regulation check was taken out of the car and placed on a truck "Bill"
seemed to enjoy the situation and started fur the baggage-room with this
unusual "piece" occupying the truck, a reporter following close on his
heels, determined to trace this specimen of Oregon's production to its
destination. When the transfer man presented a duplicate check for it,
"Bill" and his mate were more nonplussed than ever.
"You wouldn't think one potato wasjworth 50 cents," said the former,
who evidently had economical tendencies, w hile the transfer man de
clared as he loaded it onto a wagon piled high with trunks and grips "50
cents to deliver anything as big as that is cheap!"
After a roundabout trip the wagon drew up at 41!) West Park, the res
idence of Mr. R. M. Hall of the 0. R. & N. Co. As Mr. Hall did not
come down yesterday he could not be seen in regard to his unique lug
gage, but the specimen proves beyond a doubt that he is a fine judge of
the pomme de terre, and that Hood River valley takes the plum for veg
etables as well as fruits.
Can you fsrget, loved Western land,
The glory of her deuthless deeds?
In yonder city, glory crowned,
Where art will vie with art to keep
The memories of those heroes green
The flush of conscious pride should leup
To see her fair memorial stand
Among the honored names that be
Her face toward the sunset, still
H cr finger lifted toward the sea!
Beside you, on Kame's pedestal,
Be her's the glorious fale to stand
Bromted. barefoot, yet a patron saint,
The keys of empire In her hsnd!
The mountain gates that closed to you
Hwnng open as she led the way
So let her lead that hero host
When comes their glad memorial day!
Woods, .Water, Beer and Cancer.
Inter Ocean.
Dr. Alfred Wolff, as the result of a
wide and careful study of the statistics
of cancer in Europe and America,
reaches several interesting conclusions.
1. He rinds that cancer is most com
mon in thickly -wooded and well-water
ed districts.
He discovers that all the districts
of high cancer mortality are those in
winch tieer or cider is largely drunk.
Bavaria, for instance, shows the high-,
eet earner death rate iu Germany, and j
Sulsliurg in Austria. Both are great j
beer-drinking districts. In France'
there is the most marked contrast lie-
tween the liigli cancer mortality in llie
lieer-drinkiiii department and the low
cancer death rate elsewhere. Ir. WoltT:
also finds that the increased consunip- i
lion of lieer in England of lute years

cer mortality.
3. Dr. WollPs res-n relies indieate that
cancer is eontagioiis, and that race and
heredity have iiiueli less to do with the ;
disease than environment and habits
Finally, he concludes that the in

Nevertheless, Dr. Wolff's research' s
