J. P. Egan of White Salmon
presented the editor with a box of
iiindsome strawberries Thursdav night
of last week, They were line, liircious
ones, 41! of which tilled the pound box
The new editor never saw anything like
them before, though he used to buy
great many Hood Kiver berries in his
former Mirth Dakota home.
Mr. Egan says he had shipped that
day four crates tilled' with berries
just as nice as the sample he left for the
editor. Such fruit should bring top
notch prices. Mr. Egan is oncof White
Salmon s most successlnl fruit growers
he has five acres in bearing plants. Last
fall he says he applied 700 pounds of
commercial land plaster on his berries.
and the result is good to see. His plantH
never looked Detter lie says, and while
the plaster cost him $15, it will net him
$100 profit in berries.
Mr. Egan received $(l a crate for his
berries. He ships his fruit through
the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union,
and is well satisfied with his returns.

No Place Like Hood River.
Daniel Barbee and w ife are new resi
dents of Hood River. Glenwood, Iowa,
was tbet-r former home, where Mr. Bar
bee is the owner of 3i'i0 acres of farming
land. -W, FV .Laraway has induced
Mr. Barbee to sell his Iowa holdings
and take up his home in Hood River.
Mr. caraway tells the Glacier that
Mr. Barbee, being determined to find a
more congenial climate than the state
of Iowa affords got hold of some litora-
ture giving glowing descriptions of Cali
fornia, and a few weeks ago made a visit
to that country. He went to the very
section tne circular nail told Mm so
much about and found things altogeth
er misrepresented. Hundreds of acres
of peach orchards were not making mon
ey enough to pav for the cultivation. He
found fruit-grow U' in that country a
losing proposition 10m beginning to end,
which lost lor nun any idea of investing
mere.
Mr. Barbee then went to Southern
Oregon, but found nothing to his liking
there. He finally reached Portland.
and was about to return to Iowa, thor
oughly disgusted with this Western
country, but hearing a great deal about
Hood River, he decided to see for him
self just what is here.
t)ne day s ride through the valley was
sufficient to convince Mr. Barbee that
Una is the very country he was looking
for. He has decided to dispose of his
SIX) acres in Iowa, where the land is
worth $100 an acre, and invest in Hood
Kiver fruit lands, where a man can grow
rich on 20 acres of land, and the rigors
of Eastern winterl are unknown, like
wise the excessive heat of the summers.
He will be back to' this country in Au
gust to make Hood Kiver his permanent
home.
The New Bank Ofllcials.
The opening of the First National

Hood Kiver 7, Arlington 5.
Did you ever see inch a nifty catch as
Kennedy picked hot from Dunbar's bat?
Jot oilen.
There are not many who care to do it
not even I r the generous outburst
applause that greeted the Arlington
piicuer sumiay aiternoon. it was
nervy piece of work to sav the least.
The boys from Arlington are a gentle
manly lot. They know how to play
ran,, loo. ineyput up a good clean
game and while they did some splendid
work, at the crucial moment of the
contest they were unable to hold
to
gether as were the Hood Rivers, and
they went down to their first defeat this
season. 1 he crowd, though, was dis
appointment as to size. The attend
auee was something less than 300, the
smallest of the Beason. It ehould hav
been at least double this. Some of this
was due to lack of proper advertising.
It was not known in time to spread the
information as it should have been, that
iiooq Kiver was to play Arlington
The next game will be with the
Schiller's nine from Portland. The All
Portland boys have defeated them, and
nooa Kiver nas deleated the All Port
lands. But the Schiller's have strength
ened tneir nine since then and very
exciting game is expected. The Regu
lator Company has arranged to bring
an excursion wun wie team lrom Port
land, provided the steamer can make
the trip through the locks that day
Excursions will also lie brought from
Goldendale and the Dalles. This ehould
make a big attendance at next Sunday'
game.
While the home team put up splendid
ball Sunday, they showed the lack of
proper practice. While it is Pcrham
Qimcuit lor tne dovi to get out lor wor
day practices, some work of this kind
will be necessary if the Hood River nine
proposes to continue with its long line
oi victories, jiunimr was not at hi
best, but no good player is alwavi
the best of condition, and this was tirob-
amy nis on oay. tie was too mucn
though, every now and then for the
visitors, who found him with difficulty.
. in tne opening inning it looked very
much like a one sided affair.but in the
next chapter the worm turned, and it
melted big chunks of enthusiasm to
see the runs pile up on the visitors' side
of the score book until they had 5 to
Hood River's lonesome 3.
The proceedings were not void of ex
citement and the good plays by the home
team would start tne rooters every now
and then. The home sympathisers knew
their turn would come. Doug Langille
was tlieonlyone whothoughtditTerentlv
and he was financially interested to the
extent of one dollar. Kd Williams has
since then siient that dollar.
Ihe expected inning cam a in the
eighth.
Four bits for a safe hit and a dollar
for a run," called out the redoutable
ilm Leland Henderson. Sheets got
safe one good for first, and before the
eand diggers had time to recover their
breath he had stolen second. Havnes
got anotner one ami Sheets trotted home
Henderson tossed over the coin.
Adkina arranged matters for Havnea
to score and the bleechers went wild.
Jonnie Castner had in the mean time
found a vacant spot in the outfield and
an uilield ball by Dunbar brought Hood
Kiver a left fielder into the Plate. More
cheering.
Adkina made an attempt to a enrht
third base, butjthe umpire's eye was too
aiert. mere was some doubt atiout
Dunbar on second. At this juncture
thtnge were going decidedly against the
visitors. They were not used to such fine
base ball work, it made them nervoiiB
to see victory drooping from them.
They rushed in a bunch to the umpire.
He couldn't be moved, and the visitors
were forced to realize that they were be
ing outplayed.
The bovs from Arlington took the bat.
but no one reached first, and in less time
than it takes to tell Hood River realized
that another victory waa theirs. It was
well earned, and the onlookers left the
grounds well satisfied with the after
noon's entertainmen. The score:

Hon. E. L. Smith handed the Glacier
the following interesting letter from II.
T. Williams, who ia now enjoying the
sights of the great World's fair at St.
Ixiuis. Mr. Williams is well known to
Hood River fruit growers, having spent
three years here :
Epworth Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., June
2, l!W4-My Dear Mr. Smith: I have
had a good chance to see the great expo
sition, now, having been here ten days.
I visited the agricultural and horticul
tural halls twice and have seen all the
exhibits. In the line of fruits there ia
no Eastern state makine a reallv irreat
exhipit of good apples except jn a very
varieties. Illinois and Missouri are
prominent with Winesap, Willow Twig,
lieu Davis. I was surprised to see some
boxes of fine Jonathans from New
York. They must have kept well in
storage.
1 thought that Washinuton. for a
while, made the best display, but I ob
serve the apples do not keep long. So
far, in size and keeping quality 1 have
seen nothing bettor than the Hvdos
King and the Arkansas Hlack, which
were sent by the Hood Biver Apple
Growers' Union. There was but a small
table of them, vet In prime
qualities of appearance sine and keeping,
Isaw nothing that was better.
flow Hixid Kiver could have walked
over anything If only the amies
had been there in quantity 1 The dollar,
I am afraid, spoils the Hood Biver peo
ple in these matters of exhibition.
Great etTorts are being made bv Cali
fornia and Missouri in large show of
fruit in glass Jars. Indeed the displays
were of great size and variety. Cali
fornia was a wonder everywhere in her
displays of dried fruits. I thought that
Montana had tine sample of keeping
pples. The Alexander's were fine.
Viio would think of keenimz Alexanders
down to this time of year? Yet thev
were there fine and beautiful. Hood
Biver has her chances of x becoming
world famous, but she does not ehow it
on the exhibition tables, or outside her
own locality, very much. Perhaps hav
ing sold out everything she uouldu t do
it, but if her people could have seen the
immense quantity of little live and six
tier apples presented by most of the
states, they would have felt more as if
Hood Kiver could down them all easily
if she had tried.
The attendance here lmi been lame.
yet fully one-third of the exhibits are not
in place. There is plenty of amusement
and a world of instruction. The elec
tric illumination of the buildings is per
fectly wonderful. Jt is worth crossimr
the continent to see it. Thousands and
hundreds of thousands of electric lights
on all the buildings. It seems like fairy
land.
In the horticultural show of New
York there were pears on exhibition
which Hood Biver could have shown
any quantity twice the size and much
more handsome. There seems to be a
fine chance for Hood Biver to make her
impression on the world by showing her
abilities what she can do with hor re
sources and favorable climate.
Vre have strawberries to eat here
every day, but it is doubtful if they
could he. kept over till the next morning
vet we know a Hood Biver berry has no
failing of that nature. Many people
naturally ask: " What are the Hood
Kiver berries made of, 'they keep so
well?
We are well known west of the moun
tains, but east of the mountains very
little. The markets we wholesale know
of us, but the.people themselves hear of
us very seldom. I hope it will lie bet
ter aji our fruit gets more pkontiful and
we can ship in quantities it will be more
widely distributed that Hood Biver
will be one of the few wonderful places of
celebrity. We should have more to
show, it helps to build up the value'of
our farms in Hood Biver, by allowing
liberally what we do and what we grow
there
TheoweiRher has been quite comfort
able. The buildings are quite cool and
well protected from the heat of the day,
and there is no mistake in saying one
can spend a week here easily. It ia
worth all the costs to come here. I have
enjoyed it exceedingly.
Sincerely yours,
HkxKY T. Williams.
