THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1904.
The Long Creek Light has been muf
fed out and now appears as the Monu
ment, Orant county, Enterprise.
The Rural Narthwest says it ii uni
versally admitted that the two most
important addrenies before the conven
tion of the Development leagne were
those ofE. L. Smith, president of the
state board of horticulture, and Dr
James Withycoinb of the Oregon experi
ment station. Doth addresses were
devoted to fruit and agricultural topics
The action of the water company in
giving; the patrons of this city better
service, will be appreciated, and it is
hoped the good work will go on. They
promise to put water on the hill in the
near future, and the sooner it is done
the better it will be for the health of
the hill residents, as well, as for the
prestige of the water company. I-et
the good work go on.
Chicago capitalists have filed with the
secretary of stato articles of incorpora
tion for the Mount Hood Electric Co.,
one of the purposes of which is the
construction of a tourist trolley car line
from Portland to the base of Mount
Hood. If such a road is ever construct
ed it would put an end to the stage line
business from Hood River to the moun
tain. The many complimentary remarks
from the press of the state on the elec
tion of the Hon. K. L. Smith to the
presidency of the Oregon Levelopment
lesgue, speaks well for the popularity
of the selection. Possibly no man is
more widely known throughout the
state than Mr. Smith. At an authority
on horticulture, he is recognised as one
of the most competent In the United
States. Possibly no man has a broader
knowledge of apple growing than Mr.
Smith. His selection as president of
the Oregon Development league is a
credit to Hood River.
Professor 8. B. Green, head of the de
partment of horticulture and forestry at
the state university of Minnesota, after
a tour of the Pacific Northwest, states
that the growers should be more cosmo
politan in there knowledge of fruitgrow
ing, that they should know what results
re obtained in the different localities,
to profit thereby. This it another point
In which Hood River orchardisti take
the lead. The fruit business in this val
ley has been intelligently studied and
progressive growers are profiting from
their research work. The professor com
pliments Hood River on the business
like methods of packing and shipping in
vogue here.
The action taken by the farmers Mon
day night at the Barrett school house
in taking the preliminary steps to se
cure water, shows a commendable en
terprise, and demonstrates that Hood
Rivet intends to keep up to date and
progressive. While the new ditch will
cost probably $100,000 If carried out on
the scale proposed, yet it will add fully
11,000,000 to the value of the hind that
will come under the ditch. Hood River
land is too valuable to be farmed for
crops without irrigation. It is the extra
ton of hay, crate of berries or box of
apples that makes the profit, and when
the crop can be doubled and in some
cases increased three-fold when prop
erly irrigated and cultivated, the argu
ment in favor of the new ditch, regard
less of the big undertaking, is conclus
ive. Summer months are considered to be
the dull season for all lines of business
but Hood River merchants say they
have noticed no decrease In their busi
ness the last two or three months. The
fact that the strawberry men did not
get the high prices of former years has
made no perceptible difference in the
commercial world. The farmers are all
hard at work with their crops. The se
who have apple orchards and clover
fields are sure of good returns this full
Movements In real estate are not num
erous Just now, but the men who make
a business of selling lands say there are
a great many inquiries coming in daily,
and a great many people are looking the
country over with the idea of buying
later in the fall. A large immigration
of home seekers is cx)iected from the
Eastern states after the crops are har
vested there. One thing that impresses
itself on a casual observer is the grow
ing of more vegetables and garden truck
by the Hood River farmers. This com
modity Is a scarce article in the White
Salmon country, and the farmers there
will have to learn that it pays to grow a
little more of this stuff than they have
use for in their own families. One man
who recently moved to the North side
of the Columbia said he had not been
there long long enough to grow garden
stuff of his own. and found his neigh
bors had but little and that even pota
toes were ham to get. J tns ts a wrong
condition of affairs in an agricultural
country. But affairs are becoming bet
ter adjusted and a few years will And
them as they should be.
Can Give the State Pointers.
The Rural Northwest says: "There
was a chance for the delegates to the
recent convention in Portland which or
ganised the Oregon Development league
to tret a good pointer on how to get re
sults, the tlood Kiver folks were on
hand, as they always are when there is
a chance to advertise- Hood Kiver and
they are advertising the fruit fair to 1ms
held at that place this fall. These cards
showed that the population and busi
ness ol Hood Kiver lias doubled in the
lakt 'our years. This increase has been
the natural result ot the unceasing el
forts on the part of the people of that
that place to build up their resources
and advertise their place, products and
advantages. II every other commuiii
itv had worked so hard and a intelligent
ly as thellood Kiver community has done
there would be twice as many people in
Oregon that are now here, and Oregon,
instead of being the least heard of state
on the Pacific Count would be known
throughout the United States us the
get-there state.
WILL BOND
FOR WATER
A preliminary meeting of farmers was
held at the Barrett school house Mon
day evening, and (tops were taken to
bond the district for water. The short
age of water in the district above the
Farmers' ditch is being felt more ami
more as new ground is cleared and
brought under cultivation, and the
movement towards bonding the district
that was talked of last winter culmin
ated in the meeting Monday night,
when 35 signed a petition to the county
eourt.
The small ditch that has supplied the
older residents in the Crupper and Bar
rett districts for many rears carries
only about 400 inches of water, while
the present needs are In M v live times
as much. There is scarcely a farm llmt
is getting hull enough water, and m
some cases considerable cleared land is
lying idle. Koine of the new places can
not in improved lor lack ol water, and
the farmers above the Fanners' ditch
on the West Side realize that they must
put tn an irrigating ditch ol sulncient
size to supply future as well as' present
wants if they expect to get the proper
results from their land. .
The proposition is to bond the district
to be lienelilted, and the area proposed
is part of Dukes Valley and Udell on the
east side, and all of the district on the
west side of Hood Kiver not now sup
plied with water, it is estimated that
this district will cover 14.000 ucres, The
cost of a ditch largo enough to carry
siillicicnt water to supply this large
area is roughly estimated at 100,000.
It may cost considerably more, but will
probably not exceed $10 for each acre of
land benefitted.. Given 20 years to pay
fur it, the cost will not amount to $2 an
inch of water per yeur, with free water
at the end of 20 years.
There is no question but that irrigat
ing water is worth $100 an acre to the
land for any purpose, and there should
not be a dhsentmg voice in voting for
the new improvement. The fact Unit
the land in speculators' hands lying
idle will have to pay for the water,
whether it is used or not, is a point in
favor of the bonding scheme, and will
tend to force improvement among that
clafS of property owner,
The meeting . at the Barrett school
house was attended by about fifty prop
erty owners residing within a short dis
tance of the place of meeting. ', VV.
Angus was made chairman and D. E.
Markham sucretiiry.
Mr. Angus stated briefly the object of
the meeting, and read a synopsis of the
state irrigation law, as published in the
Glacier March 24, 1004, Ho stated that
he thought i: would be a good policy to
Dono mo enure liood Kiver district
providing the other water companies
wished to come in and turn over their
property for what it was worth, but
that It would be left entirely with thu
other companies to act. He wanted it
distinctly understood that it was no
stock-iohbing scheme, but all they
wanted was water, and would bond a
district outside of the territory covered
by the present ditches if the rest of the
valley were cntisned with what they
had.
J. II. Shoemaker stated that the pro
posed district included 14,000 or 15,000
acres, which would be reduced 2,(HK) or
3,000 acres if the East Hide section
adjoining Hood Kiver did not want to
lie included tie thought the expense
of the ditch would not exceed 1 1 II an
acre, but he was satisfied to lmv $20 an
acre if necessary, and then would con
sider it a goon investment lor a perpet
ual water right on the laud.
F. U. Sberrieb stated that at a meet
ing of the directors of the Water Supply
Co. it was agreed to turn over their
stock at par to the new corporation if
the bonding proposition wvnt through,
which would amount to $1,000. The
stock was worth 25 per cent premium,
and he thought the offer a liberal one.
Their present right-of-way was valuable
as fur as it went, and would save the
new company considerable on that Item
alone. They were interested in the
new scheme, and would be glad to see
it succeed.
Mr, Castiier thought it would be a
good idea to include both the big ditches
now furnishing water on both the east
and west side, hut it was not the iiiten
tion to force the sale of either of the
ditches, but it would he left to those
companies to decide for themselves.
A petition to the county court that
had been prepared, as the first formal
ity to comply with the law, was rend.
and iion being circulated received 30
signatures, us below. A committee
consisting of Scott Doorman and 1'. li.
Martin was appointed to circulate the
petition among farmers who were not
at the meeting, and it is expected that
a majority ot the tanners to bo bene
fitted will sign the petition, and it will
he placed in the hands of the county
court as soon as possible, in order to
get a vote on the proposition this full.
The meeting was adjourned subject
to the call of the chair.

Young Orchards Took Ills Eye.
W. IU Itad.:liffe, assistant cashier of
the bank of Wateonville, Cul., was in
Hood River Inst week. Mr. Itadcliffe is
on a tour of the Pacific Northwest, in
cluding a trip to the Yellowstone Park,
and as he travels along is looking over
the fruit sections on the way.
Watsonville is one of the famous ap
ple sections of California. Mr. Kad
cl ffe was formerly in the newspaper
business at that place and talks intelli
gently of the fruit industry in Cal
ifornia. In reply to an inquiry as to what he
thought of Hood Kiver afU-r driving
through the valley, Mr. Hudcliffu spoke
in glowing terms of the fruit prospectf
of Hood Kiver. He was particularly
struck with the fine condition of the
many young orchards that met his eye,
and regarded them as model young
orchards.
This year in the Watsonville district
the crop was injured by late frosts, and
instead of the usual crop of 8,000 cars it
will amount to about 2,000 cars, says
Mr. Radcliffe The Yellow NewtowiiB
and the Yellow Bellliowers are the
standard varieties in Wateonville.
There the growers are satisfied to re
ceive 75 cents a box for their apples.
The Bellliowers sell from 60 to 90 cents,
says Mr. Radcliffe.
That country has abotit the same area
for fruit growing as has the Hood Kiver
valley, almut 60,000 acres. About one
quarter of this is now planted to apple
trees.
Mr. Riulcliffu stopped to view the
RogUe River Country, where he says
the crop will be light this year, the
iruit Having been damaged by late
storms. Me says a bail storm played

ance of some one having stood off about
a hundred yards and peppered them with

All Not Lovely With the Ferryman.
The ferrvman has troubles of his own.
Possibly the average passenger on the
White f-alnion terry thinks Messrs.
Dean and Pearson have a snap. With
sail and gasoline power it looks easy
enough to operate llie niiHiiiess. (.'per
illing expenses seem small as the two
men do all their own work, and the
collection of 25 cent fares should prove
a snap.
Not so though. Mr. Dean gives it out
that he has expended over a hundred
dollars in repairing the boats in the last
three weeks. The ferry owns two row
bouts, two launches, six scows and six
sails. Boats are perishable and require
frequent repairs.
The 25 cent fare is not always col
lected. One night last week Andy
Pearson was aroused from his sleep by
three drunken loggers who wanted to
cross the river. Pcareon rowed the
drunks to the Washington side. The
tare alter night is m) cents, but when
the men reached the other side of the
river, they gave Andy the merry ha, ha.
and left him to row hack mad as a
hornet.
A few weeks ago, relates Mr. Dean,
an Indian with his cayuse was rowed
across, the river. He said he would pay
when he returned. When he did so, I
the river was rough and ditticult for
crossing with the scow. Rut the ferry
men landed the smash on the Oregon
side of the river, and all they received
for their trouble was the Under of an
empty purse.
Mr. Mean says be has worked dav
and night since taking hold of the ferry,
not having a single 8ondav he could
call his own. His work during the
summer has kept bun busy tsith day
and night. But the night work he says
they aim to cm out alter tins. ine
county commissioners aim to discourage
tne tqieration ot the ferry after nightfall,
except in very urgent cases.
na ttowland, Ironi wroni Mr. Dean
secured the ferry, held a mail contract
wiin uncle rani to carry the mail from
Hood River to White Salmon for loOO a
year. The mail now amounts to three
and four sacks at a trip, more than one
man can handle, and teams have to he
hired to carry the mail to and from the
landings to the pototlices, a distance of
a mile at each end. This bill of expense
exceeds the pay which the contract calls
for, and the holder is doing the work
each year at a dead loss. The contract,
so Mr. Dean says, runs for five years
more. What the expense of carrying
the mail will be by that time can't U
guessed at.
Should Know What Other Apple Men Do
Professor 8. B. Green of Minnesota,
who visited Hood River last week, vis
ited other sections of the Northwest, and
on his return to Portland gave out the
follow ing interview:
"It seem to me that in many sections
fruit growers suffer because of the lack
of business methods in packing and
shipping their fruit. Where I found
growers who were discouraged, it was
not localise they could not grow fruit,
but Is-cause they could not market it
successfully.
"At Hood River the growers get bet
ter results because their methods are
more business like. Growers need to
make a study of this subject.
"1 have been surprised to learn how
little one section knows about the re
sults obtained in another section. It is
FAIR
6
: 5
of great importance that information of
this t haracter should be scattered as
widely as possible. As an illustration,
I found in home sections too much tend
ency to plant varieties of apples like the
Ben Duvis.the Black lien Davis and the
Gaiio. While these varieties may still
find a ready market, they are discrimi
nated against in the Lantern market.
Even in Oregon these varieties, I am
told, are becoming unpopular. In some
parts of the state growers are beginning
to appreciate tliis,and are putting in bet
ter varieties. At the same time I found
localities where the growers snppose
these the best varieties and are putting
them in. A petter general knowledge
of the results of experience in this and
other lines would he of the utmost value
to the farmers and horticulturists of the
state.
"The Irrigation of orchards interested
me. Jt seemed to me that as a rule
where water is abundant the growers
use too much of it, especially in the
case of young trees not yet bearing. In
many instances the wood would be firm
er and the trees would winter better if
they were not irrigated. Another thing
that should receive more attention is
the enforcement of inspection laws for
the purpose of excluding noxious in
sects and diseases. In some localities
there is great laxity in enforcing these
Ibwb. Such pests as the wooly aphis, or
root louse and the San Jose scale should
be kept out, for it is a heavy expense
to spray the trees every w. liter after
these petts have gained a foothold.
"One of the things which has im
pressed me is the fact that the 0. R. &
