HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904. WHAT OREGON FARMS GROW The following article tn written by Wallw Nash for th annus) fair edition of the Northwest Rural Spirit: "We Oregonians are to well satisfied with our own state, ita charms in fin ery, climate, sail, opportunities and so ciety, taoiat anntge are so laminar to ua that we forget to think what im pressions Oregon makes on a newcomer. And vet we are all set on giving invita tions, and when we meet, after weeks of preparation and advice from ail the tperts we mi ft get hold of, to form an Urefon' uevewpmeru tMgne, ne "rm we can do is to Induce all our fellow citizens to join the circle and invite, in vite, and still more widely invite. "But general invitation don't go verv far in this world. In private life we al ways disregard aa a mere polite form of words the common expressions, 'We shall be glad to see you,' 'I hope you will cal , and to on. But if you have a vacant bit of land near you in country or city , and if it it a matter of consequence to you to get neighbors, and good ones, too, how different yon set about it. No feneral -invkatioM to Dick, Tom and tarry now You rtop to think, and take counsel together, what the induce ment! are to the people you want to come and settle by you. "Let ua apply simitar rules to our selves at agents for all of Oregon, out side of the little, so little, bit of it we may one of mown, rtrst, our descrip tion ibm be- absolutely truthful not overdrawn. It is not the exceptional yield of HO bushels, or evea U3 bnshel of wheat to the acre en some favored spot (such aa we heard of from one of our Eastern Oregon friends at that same Development league meeting), but the general average of 25 bushels to the acre on the ordinary farm, rising to 45 bush- j els on the selected high priced hind, j which it is both honctt and safe to cir culate about those northeabtcrn Oregon counties. The strict truth is good enough for our vleiters who euine from 150 to 75 land, yielding up to 20 bush els of wheat per acre in good years. If our newcomer can double his acreage and corni within a little of doubling hia product (or the price of each acre he sells in the state he Is leaving, he will not find fault. And when you add to (he strictly bueineas attraction that he will leave behind him thft hllzfcard, the tornado, the early frosta, the mouths of stock housing arid feeding, the poor ami scanty water, your invitation begins to count for something. People in the East have got a notion hard to get rid of that the market prices for our product are so far below theirs. Let ua not forgot, then, to tell what we get for our wheat. I think it is a telling point that, after allowing a liberal cost, Including plowing, harrowing, seeding, harvesting, sacking and taking to mar ket and depot, and after including in this cost an allowance for interest on a reasonable pu rebate price (say $17.50 per acre for the farm and about $800 for plant, outfit and implements), we ex pect to net about 25 cents bushel. "Let It be known alto that in these wheat regions we are generally still in bondage to the summer-fallowing sys tem which keepa half the wheat land out of crop every year. liut forget not to say (hat field peas and leguminous plants generally thrive well, and that II 1- ' I t . mere is every iiiuuceiiiuut lur an enter prising man to vary more and mote the roduoU of the (arm. "Bomary of our newcomers are used to clear skiea and wide horizons that the hilla aad woodlands of Westera Oregon seem to confine and shut them in, "But most of these newcomers have bought them through tickets on which they em travel up to the northeast cor ner ol Oregon, and then along its north ern edge to Portland, before tlmy turn south through the Willamette and Kogue River valleys to our southern boundary. They have to pass through the fruit regions, though, and in Hood River we have a record of how a district Is advertised by ita products. "Next to the good reports that are sent back Kaat by a family which has already ventured the move to the North west, been well used, have voritled what tney Had Heard, anil wish their old friends and neighbors to join them. The beat advertisement is to see sold in distant states, even across continent and ocean, our products. Hood River applet, for instance, sold at the top price and known everywhere. No chance of overstocking that market. The Hood River Deoule are helniuir the statu as well aa themselves. Newtown 1'ippins and Npitzenburgs at M a box in JajikIoii .,,i !.;. II u i n v.i ........ over $2 a box to the Hood River grower and with only four boxes to a treeand 70 trees to the acre, how much dooa that come to? How ib that brought about? lly good soil and climate, good trees, clean cultivation, careful picking and packing, and a market article of which the value maintains the price, and all going under that name up to the stand' ard. "After all. that is the best of Oregon. Go where you will in the state and adapt your industry to the conditions you find. Put both work and brains Into it. Try for the best, and aurely you will gut ic And mora la noexag KeratioH ebmit thia statement, either. "And while I am giving advice, I will put in just one more piece, and then go on: Don't spread out too widely. The returns in pocket at the end of the year will be larger from a smaller piece of land, well tilled, fully stocked and equipped than from a much larger farm, orchard or ranch badly cultivated and half stocked. 1-et some one else have that other bit of land and turn looae on it. "When our visitors reach Portland, we know what impression they each and all receive. The trouble with the Portlanders Ib that they don't see them selves and their city aa others see them. It takes a visitor to open up about the beautiful location of the city, its solid and prosperous look, the traltlo in its streets, the costly buildings, the quickly passing and ever-crowded street cars, the lovely parka, the exposition ground only now beginning to show their beau ties, the broad river courses, above bridge, with the bustling steainlxiats, and the tall masti and rigging of the big ships cutting the skyline below. The visitor takes his car ridea north, south and east The l'ortlander generally confines his travel to the one route by which he comes to and from his daily work. So we are hardly alive to the growth and attractiveness of our own city, in every direction. "Of course, business chances abound, with so great a territory to draw on. with the hitherto unoccupied portion! of me staie lining rapidly irom so many aianmin me union, witn the prospect ing and opening up of mineral wealth, with the enormous forests occupying so large a proportion of the state being en tered by railroad, logging road and water transportation, with the dairy in dustry spreading over our western coun ties, with the Slock industries offering 0 well nigh unrivaled chances, with the largest attera Oregon wheat crop that hat eve been harvested, how can it be that the eity on which ttiese various streams of industry converge should not grow and prosper? "Krom Portland our visitor, if he is wite and has time for it, goes by the fast Side or main line of the Honthern Pacific past Oregon City and Hnlem to Albany. At Oregon City our visitortws the factories, and also the great works of the General Klectric Co., utilizing as much aa they can of a water power equal, as has been often Mated, to the whole of that of the Lowell district of Massachusetts. "Then the Willamette valley 0)en8 before him. Eight counties, over four million acres, 100,000 people in the towns ami 11X1,000 more on the farms, and room enough for four times that number without crowding. No fifty acres that will not support a family in comfort. Four railroads, a navigable river from end to end, a system of elec tric roads begun, colleges, schools, churches, rural free delivery, telephones in evidence. Old loose systems of farm ing giving plate to modern methods by which live stock and its products uretlie main sources of levenue. Here are a few condensed fact which never fail to appeal to the newcomer. 'An ever-widening market f r the products of the farm. any cow, on a conservative statement, return t a month each to theownor the )cur round in the monthly check from the cream ery and more from the condeiikcry. Hiieep yield not less than $1 each for wool and the increase m addition, uoau about $1.30 each for mohair, and six- months old kids are worth 12.1)0. flogs always in demand. Oregon still im ports butter, cheese and eggs. en iter sold in Portland and other cities last winter at 70 cents a two-pound roll, and eggs at 35 cents a dozen. 'Sheep and goats take care of them selves the year round. All the foruge oliints urosiier. and the modern farmer is not without ample mppliesof vetch, raoe, red clover, field pens and prolmbly turnips and other roots, and thousand headed kale. Much corn is now grown for feed, and experiments are being widely and successfully carried out in growing alfalfa on unirrignted lai.ds throughout the Willamette valley. "There is sale at good prices lor farm horses, and both Perclieron and Hhire hornet aro being bred with great success. "The newcomer must have n few words on Oregon hops. Through the Willamette valley, and indeed all over Southern Oreg hops are an important and very lucrative crop. Ui'til recently the river bottom lands were chosen, but now the hop yard has spread on to the uplands, and it is a mutter of challenge and dispu'e under what conditions the best hops are raised. The cost of rais ing hops and putting them on the mar ket ia stated at H cents a pound. For the last year or two the prices have ranged between 20 and 26 cents pur pound. The yield per acre varies be tween lOiH) and 2000 pounds. Ample room, you see, for the maxim of striving for the best to have full play. Southern Oregon disputes with Hood River the supremacy in fruit. The ap ples from Medford district are quoted at parallel prices in the world's market with ttie flood River product. Peaches, melons and grapes are ulso raised there in great beauty and abundance. "Hpace is filled, but the attractions of Oregon to the newcomer barely sketched. "Although prices of Oregon lands are on the up grade, yet good farms a few miles from town and railroad can still tie had at about $20 per acre for the larger sort and at prices at from $:I0 to $10 per acre for farms from 40 to 100 acres. Of course, fancy places closer to town and railroad are higher priced very exceptionally good ones rising to $00 per acre." In Hie Yakima Hop Fields. Miss Olive I'helps writes to the ('la cier from the hop fields at Tampico, Wash., inclosing a sample hop three inches in length, and says of the trip to the Yakima valley : "Monday morning we crossed the Co lumbia on Mr. Dean's scow. We passed through White Salmon anil on to the falls, where we ate dinner. The tiist night we camped one milo from Gilmer. We slept with the heavens for a roof and the stars for lights. "Next day we ate dinner about two miles from Ulonwood. There were about 50 in the crowd, and when wecanipid it looked like our strawberry fields. "We Maul all night at the bridge that spans the Klickitat river. The next night we camped at Goldcndalc ami took in the town by moonlight. Next day by noon we were on the border of the Indian reservation. After eating dinner we started down what is called the Sottas canyon. That night we camp ed on the "red man's" territory. After crossing what was once known as the Desert, but is now farming land, we came to a little town called Wapato, where we remained all night. "The next day we drove to Mr. Kg- lin's hop fields, where we intend to go to work. The next day being Minday and no church to go to, must of the young folks entered into u harmless game ot cards, Please send some copies of the Glacier. Three Jurors Cured. Mr. G. W. howler of Hlghtower.Ala., relates an experience he had while serv ing on a petit jury In a murder case at Kdwardsvllle, county seat of ('lelsiuine county, Alabama. He says: "While there I ate some fresh meal and some souse meat and it gave me cholera mor bus In a very severe form. I was never more sick In my lite anil sent to the drugstore for a certain cholera mixture , but the drugght sent me a bottle of Cliamlierliiiii s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy Instead, saying (hut he hud what I hud sent for, hut I hut this medicine was so much better he would rather semi it to me In the fix I was In. took one dose and was tetter in five minutes. The second dose cured me entirely. Two fellow Jurors were allllet- ed in the same manner and one small bottle cured the three of us."' Kor sale at Williams' Pharmacy. Count)' (iranls New Roads. Road matters and the payment of bills occupied the att'-ntion of the couit at its session last week. Two roads were allowed for Hood River and two for Mosicr, savs Commissioner llibhard. The Mails granted to the Hood River petitioners are the Winnns road, which ib to begin at Jasper Wickluim's and continue up the west hunk of Hood river; the other road will run southwest from the Wood place in the Udell dist rict. The mosier roads are those know n by petition as the Snyder road and the learning or Dick Kisber road, tha latter to run south along Mosier creek. ChamberlniN's Remedy Aids Nature.

NATURE'S BEST SCENIC GIFTS The following description of the Co lumbia river appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald from the pen of 8. Glen Aridriis, the railroad editor of that pa per, who visited Hood River last July, in company with Rinaldo M. Hall of theO. R. & N: If the Columbia River were nearer the center of population it would nndoutably become the annual Mecca of a countless hoard of tourists, and its banka for more than 100 miles would lie dotted with the homes of pleasure seeking millionairs and with fashionable resorts. Cradled, asits most picturesque portion is, among the grandest mountains of the Pacific Northwest, tucked away in a lit tle corner of a world of magnificent dis tances, the Columbia, like the Yellow stone National Park, is neglected by all but a very few Americans. Kver since Captain Jtobert Gray, standing on the deck of his brig Columbia on a beautiful May morning in 1792, discovered fl great stream pouring more than 1,500,000 cubic feet of water jwr second into the PaciHc,the praises of the Columbia have been sung by poet and depicted by artist. Famous in many worlds for its matchless scenery, it bus been somewhat neglected at home. An adequate description of the beau ties of the Columbia from Celilo Fulls to the C'ty of Portland is Impossible, fur language cannot reproduce the pic tures there painted by the hand of mil lire, This highw ay of nature, which has seared its way completely through an apparently impassible mountain range; greater st its mouth than the Mississippi or the St. Lawrence; second in size only to the Father of Waters, has become a dominant factor in the social economy of the Pacific Northwest. No commercialism, however.eau ever efface its not m a 1 beauties nor the magnificence of the endless panoramas it discloses. Comparisons are odious, so I shall not say the Hudson does not compare w ith the Columbia, which hat a beauty and charm all its own. The beauty of the Columbia is so distinctive as to be wholly sui generis To See the Columbia properly it is necessary to take the train from Portland to The DbIIcs and muke the return Hp by boat or reverse the order. For more than 200 miles the railroad follows closely the bank of the river, and there is scarcely a foot of the way which is not full of interest. For miles the railroad is a triumph of engineering skill, for it clings to the sides of precipitous cliffs, burrows through basalt rocks,conqners the wind driven mountains of sand and defies the encroachments of raging torrents of water. From The Dalles to Portland is 88 miles an entire day's journey by boat, a day during every moment of which the eye is filled with Nature's best scen ic gifts. At The Dalles the river was unable to carve a respectable opening, and is jammed between walls not more than (10 yards apart at the narrrowest place and extending sheer down to un known but great dopth. The mighty force causing the eroion must have been beyond conception to have cut a pathway perhaps hundreds, mayhap thousands, of feet deep into the flinty basalt rock of the mountains. Except ing at flood time Celilo fulls, 12 miles aliove.are of great beauty. When, how ever, the snows of winter licgin to suc cump to the effect of a summer sun and the water comes tumbling and roaring down the mountain sides, leaving deep welts and scars, the scene at The Dalles changes. In fact the enormous volume of water, causing a rise of from 40 to 00 feet in the river, totally obliterates the fulls, and transforms them into seethim' and lioiliiig rapids. Then it is that the waters of the Columbia seek the reserve channels, which during other flood limes have been worn through the rocks, and mountains of water go tumbling and roaring through a great expanse of rocky gorges. The scene at The Dallesduring the Hood time is tremendous in its grandeur, and is awe-inspiring. A thousand whirlpools, swirling mael stroms of seething, foaming waters, writhe plunge and dash themselves against the great fields of volcanic rocks unt il they are beaten back only to plunge anew against other harrers and then finally to find their way to the peaceful waters lielow. F'roin The Dalles to the Pacific every mile of the Columbia is rich in history and legend, the latter throwing its glam our around almost every peak anil crag. Hood River, 20 miles west of The DhIIch, is the gateway to a succession of Colum bia panoramas. From this point on the Isiat winds back and forth from side to sidu seeking the little towns pictnr esquoly nestled in the canyons along the river's banks. The few combination freight bouts on the tipper Columbia are of scarcely more than 500 tons capacity, and one of them glories in the name "Regulator," given because it was planned to be a regulator of railroad freight rates. From Hood River to Portland the the traveler is never lieyond the view of some snowcapped peak, unless it be when the bout glides along between huge precipices which arise on either side from a few hundred to more than 4000 fd't, and which are as a rule cov ered with the noble larch or sweet scented pine. The formations on either side come into view almost faster than the eye can comprehend them. On the Oregon side tliere is the Shell Rock mountain, opposite to which is Wind River mountain, rising nearly 1200 feet alsive the river's edge, ami about which the winds fr m the four quarters con stantly hold high revel. The liend in the river on the Washington side is the site of the old block house where Phil Sheridan fought his first battle with the Indians. Passing through Cascade Ixieks, there comes five miles of excitement, while the bout shoots the rapids many times, barely escaping impalement upon the jagged rocks which poke their noses above the swirling waters, lielow the rapids stand the abutmentsof the Bridge of the Gods. Once upon a time, so goes the Indian legend, the abutments supported a natural bridge. One dav a lira vo from tke Washington side, while hunting on the Oregon side, fell in love with und married a maiden. As they were returning thev were pursued, but the brave was much favored of the gods, who caused tho bridge to fall, precipi tating the pursuers into the river, there by creating the rapids, which obstructed navigation until the construction of the locks. Castle Itock, a circular formation nearly M) feet high, was formerly a lookout' station for the Indians, and was but recently scaled by a white man. St. Peter's Dome, a huge rock of peculiar form, the Pillars of Hercules, tw in rocks of legendary iutepest; the Oneonta Gorge, with its moss, fern and vine-clad walls and its cold m luntain streams echoing with the music of falling waters, the Horse Tail, Gordon, Mist, Bridal Veil, Latourelle, and Multnomah falls, the latter springing over a lip of the mountain to a sheer fall of 840 feet, then another of 00 feetjthe Bridal Veil bluffs, Cap- Horn, a tinge promontory w ith a vertical face 400 tcel high, and a score i oi outer loruuu.ons, ami me w inuinus oi the river, constantly providing new vistas, make this a veritable land of I scenery. ' Perhaps the best -single phase of the trip is the view one gets on a clear dayi as the boat turns into the broad Wil lamette near Portland. From the boat's stern come in full view eight peaks which poke their eternally snowy noses into the clouds from 11,000 to nearly 15,000 feet. First Rainier master senti nel of the Pacific coast peaks;then Mount Hood, favorite of artists; Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson, and last a faint glimpse of the Three Sisters, more tha-i 100 miles to the south. To one over whom moun tain scenery has cast its Sell this matchless view is worth a trip twice across a great continent. Fearful Odds Against Him. Bedridden, alone and destitute.
