The ware house of the Davidson Fru it

ing. a uunureil women, children and
men were Duty stemming berries, cook
nig ana soldering cans of preserved
ai uu,
fruit mat would be a loss to the
urmer were it not lor this canuini
establishment is going into cans am
glass jars at the rate of 5,000 quarts a
aay. The grower is getting from one
vo inree cents a pound for his unmark-
eiaoie berries, wording to grade, and
steady employment is given 100 or more
jujuu raver people.
1 he girls and boys stemming berries
are paid one cent a pound for their
work, and average 75 cents to 1 a da'
in wages. The whole force worked al
day Sunday. Mr. Davidson says he'll
arrange io nave an extra day for Bun
day school some time next winter to
make up for lost time.
This is the first year the factory has
wen aoie w secure all the help needed.
Last year help was short and the fruit
soured before it could be put into the
cans, consequently it alterward spoiled
and all the reason's work was lost. This
year Mr. Davidson has installed a labor-
. saving soldering niacin ne which is capa
ble of turning out 10,000 cans a dav.
, An expert cunneryman, C. H. Luther
from California, is in charge of this
branch of the factory.
Three and four hundred crates are go
ing into the cans each day. Later in
the season Mr. Davidnon expects to in
. crease the output to 700 crates. The
' berries are of hne quality and are fruit
that early in the season would command
a good price in any market, but with
the low prices now prevailing in the
over-crowded markets, Mr. Davidson is
advising the growers to ship only the
first-clans berries, and he is buying the
others for canning.
Berries for the cannery require less
expense for gathering, as the fruit does
not have to be packed, and the crates
are returned to the grower, which
wanes me price, zo lo 70 cents, a very
good return for berries late in the season.

The canning of the berries is an inter
esting process. Mr. Drvidson eaya he
umn i miow anvtmng or the work when
he started in a few years ago, but from
the easy manner in which he explains
the processes to a visitor, he had no
trouble in mastering the art The
Eastern markets where ilood River
berries have made such a reputation
are now calling for the canned product.
Ten thousand quarts make a carload,
and from the way the berries are going

Easterners should have a good supply
of this luscious fruit next winter.
Gilbert Has Fine Hotel.
The new and enlarged Mount Hood
hotel Is as fine a hostelry as can he
found in Eastern Oregon. A Glacier
reporter was shown over the building
the other day. He was surprised to
find such splendid furnishings in a hotel
in a town the size of Hood Kiver.
Many towns of $0,000 population can't
boast of a hotel like the new Mount
Hood. - '
There is not a dark room in the build
ing. There is perfect ventilation, and
all rooms are supplied with steam heat.
The plumbing is sanitary in every res
pect, with a complete system of vents.
Bath and' toilet rooms are found on
all three floors, with porcelain bath tubs
and hot and cold water at each
faucet. Water is supplied from the
city system with a direct two-inch main.
No cess pools remain on the premises, a
special Bewer connecting witli the river
carries off all waste matter.
Some of the rooms are finished with
Flemish oak wood work and velvet car
pet. The ladies' parlor, in the northeast
corner of the second story, is cozily fin
ished with red ingrain paper and velvet
green carpet. The wood work is Flem
ish oak, as is the furniture. A splendid
view of the Columbia river is obtained
from this parlor, A number of Port
land men as soon as they saw it re
marked that they are going, to bring
their wives to Hood Kiver whenever
they have business here after this.
The hotel has 05 guest rooms Mr.'
Gilbert says lie ' has already slept 82
people in the building before it was
completed. Ten of the rooms are sup
plied with private bath rooms. These
rooms can also be thrown into suites.
These private bath n.oms are supplied
with porcelain tubs, toilets, and wash
stands, with hot and cold water connections.
The new building is !K)x90, and the I
top of the flagstaff is 90 feet from the
ground, maintaining as Mr. Gilbert
says the symetry of the pyramids. At
the northeast corner of the building is a
cuiKila or observatory. From this ob
servatory may be obtained one of the
best bird's-eye views of the city. Some
photographer should take advantage of
this. To the north the Columbia is to
lie seen for a distance of five or six
miles up and down the stream. It is a
scene few hotels can offer to guests.
The dining room is commodious and
airy, 24x50 feet and is supplied with
all modern conveniences. The new
dishes are of the poppy brand of semi
porcelain, the samo brand as is used in
llotel Portland. Across the courtyard
from the kitchen is the laundry" for
washing the napkins.
The broad verandas extending full
length on the north and east sides of
the building, two stories, are to be sup
plied with settees and porch rockers,
making the hotel one of the most at
tractive in the Northwest.
A large sample room is furnished for
the convenience of commercial travelers.
A double door permits the taking in of
the largest trunks. A rubber-tired truck
will be used to convey the trunks from
the drays. Mr. Gilbert can well afford
to be proud of this sample room.
While Mr. Gilbert is proprietor of the
Mount Hood dotal, his son, C. F. Gil
bert, is manager. The reporter took a
glance at the register and counted 50
names for the day before. Mr. Gilbert
said that was only common occur
rence, and that in a short time he will
be compelled to complete the brick an
nex he has under contemplation. The
new and neatly furnished rooms in this
new hotel will attract the best class of
travel, and there is no reason why Mr.
Gilbert should not make a success of
his extensive undertaking.' The im
rrovementa show an expenditure of
10,000.
Better TLan a Doctor's Prescription.
Mr. J. W. Turner, of Truheart, Va.,
says tbat Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets have done him more
good than anything he could get from
the doctor. If any physician in this
country was able to compound a med
icine that would produce such gratify
ing results in cases of stomach troubles,
biliousness or constipation, his whole
time would be used In preparing this
one medicine. For sale by all drug- j
gists. U

A Trip Up the Columbia.
What a picture this conveys to one
who has ever seen this grand river of
of the West a majestic stream of blue
waters sweeping past wooded isles, pic
turesque walls of rock, moss-covered
crags and the grandest of cascades! It is
like a plunge in fairv land.
Leaving the dock at Portland the 12

On up the river we wend our way

moments more our boat whistles for
Hood Kiver, the famous berry town.

great chief, Multnomah, once called
together the greatest council of Indian
warriors ever known.
Our steamer now points up the Col
uniDia. inettrigiit waters, the green
oiiage, wun tne deep, darn forests in
the distance and occasional eliuiuscs of
snow-capped mountains is a scene nev;
er to be forgotten. We pass the old
historic fort of Vancouver, islands
fringed with cottonwoods, panti
ral scenes and rugged hills. To
our right rises Rooster Rock, a large
rocky pillar crowned with firs, while
here and there on its steep sides moss
and shrubs have found a resting place
boon we are rounding the beetling
cliffs of Cape Horn, perpendicular walls
tower high above ue. Vt it

racks, which are brightened up with
the silvery spray of falling waters. Out
in the river the black head of Lone

liness.

ters tumbling down over the moss-cov
ered rocks; over hanging cliffs wher
verdure clad walls echo the wierd, wild
music of the cold mountain torrent ns it
rushes from its narrow bed into the
broad Columbia.
And now we see the far-famed falls
of Multnomah, a roaring river drops
over a precipice WOO feet. The somber
gray rocks and dark evergreens in the
duckground, the white spray of falling
waters, the light green foliage of the
trees and shrubs'and moss-rocks below,
forms a most enchanting picture. -Many
pretty and tragic legends are connected
with these charming ppolH of nature.

wans, vve pass nsu canneries and nu
morous nsn wheels where the unwarv
saimon, lor which this river is famous.
is scooped up, canned and shipped all
over the the world. ' ' -
Now, we are out in mid stream. On
either side new beauties await uh. The
strangely wrought domes and peaks
whoso sides are draped with fleecy
clouds, perpendicular rocks towering
skyward, worn and weatherbcaten by
the winds and storms of hundreds of
years, then again we creep along the
shore almost brushing the willows
bending over the waters.
Awav in the distance the hills.
wrapped in misty blue, arc outlined
against the sky. Now the Cascades are
before us and here we have a tine view
of Table Rock. An Indian legend savs
s one ot the abutments ot the bridge
of the Gods, that long, long ago a won-
nui stone arcn spanned the river
where now are the falls. Mysterious
and pathetic is the legend of the beau
tiful Cascades. Long before the white
man came, that great arch', under which
flowed the wild dark waters, rang to the
hoofs of mounted dusky warriors with
plumed head and rude lances.
Now the roaring, foaming waters
guard well the fallen bridge. Our
steamer is now plowing into t tie roaring
waters that are whirling down over the
Cascades and in a few minutes rides
quietly into the locks ready to be lifted
through them and sent on her way.
Millions of dollars ami over 20 years
were required until this boat-way
through the Cascades was completed.
Leaving the Locks we get a line view
of the knob across the river where
stand the ruins of the old blockhouse
where Lieutenant Sheridan fought his
first battle. Time lias wrought many
changes, but memory remains that the
years and the mould cannot cover.
almost touch the boat, the gang plank
is inrown oui and oi our a-Hj passeugers,
over auu stop at tins picturesque
and prosperous little citv.
The town, half hidden by spreading
ouk, is charmmglv situated on the lull
aide with a background of aw eetscented
pines and graceful oaks, lieiow.throu
a vista of green the blue WKiers of the
i (laud oui i oiumnia he. In smiling m
the sunlight, while beyond lies those
silent fir-clad mountains. Still further
back and towering above all Mount
Auams rears its snowv head, and just
below, the stream of White Salmon like
a silver thread emerges from the dark,
cooi loreets and empties its clear waters
into the Columbia.
It is a lovely, fascinating scene long
to be remembered. With a dilightful
climate and cool, fresh air, surely
ture has poured her wealth upon thii
spot with lavish hand. We go on far
ther. hat a panoramic view meets
our eyes ! Before us like a lake of green,
DasKing in the sunlight lies the beauti
fill, fertile valley of Hood Kiver, fairly
groaning with its weight of fruit.
The valley seems alive with the hum
of busy workers. Acres of delicious red
strawberries peep out from among the
green leaves.
Tentsare pitched in every direction. Be
sides the white pickers and packers
who are employed, hundreds of Indians
from the reservation bring their tents,
nogs and ponies, and remain during th
berry season. Lazy braves, may often
be seen lying in . the. shade smoking,
wnne me squaws, with their little sun
uurneu papooses ou their backs labor in
the fields.
Nestled in the lap of the vallev be
yond are orchards loaded with green
fruit, and, as if to a Id beauty and fresh
ness to the scene, winding around
among me green, flood river comes
foaming and dashing over the rocks in
its mad runh to reach the Columbia.
htretching awav in the distance, in
their soft, blue smoky caps, the hills
fade away against the blue skv like the
sweet, half laded memories of the years
behind us. Beyond, at the head of the
valley, like a' grand old white-haired
sentinel stands Mount Hood as if guard
ing the little valley at its feet.
ine setting sun throws its golden tint
on his snowy robes words fail to de
scribe the grandeur and beauty of the
scene, and as the sun sinks out of sight
and the shades of night are closing soft
ly, gently over the now quiet valley
below ami the grav shadows are creep
ing up the mountain sides, we bid good
night to grand old mountains and beau
tiful vale and wend our way back
among the murmuring pines.
inoiign the beautilul scenes have
failed from sight, their memory re
mains, and as the tide of years drifts bv.
floating us far out upon the great swells
of life, may it sometime bring us gently
again up the Columbia to Hood Kiver
valley. Jkssib D. Belknap.
Worst of nil Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to feel
.every minute will be your last? Such
was the experience of Mrs. 8. H. New-
son, Decatur, Ala, "tor three years,"
she writes, "I endured Insufferable
pain from indigestion, stomach and
bowel trouble. Death seemed inevita
ble when the doctors and all remedies
failed. At length I was induced to
try Kleclrio Bitters and the result
was miraculous. I improved at once
and now am coinptetelv recovered."
