Newspaper Page Text'I HOOD RIVER OLAOIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1004. ON NORTH BANK OF COLUMBIA A Glacier repreHentative visited Uti denvood, Wash., last week. The Un derwood settlement, as is well proven, is having a boom in land values. It has been discovered that for fruit, no part of the state of Washington surpass es Underwood in growing fruit of the best quality. Peaches especially do well, and the flavor cannot bo excelled In any part of the Pacific coast. The new bridge across the White Sal mon river near its mouth, built for the new road from Underwood to connect with the Trout Lake and Camas Prairie road, will prove an important factor to wards making Underwood a trading point. C. T. Robards of Hood River is a pio neer merchant of Underwood and is constructing a neat store building 20x40, fronting the river and adjoining the Saint's Rest. The building is nearing completion and we understand will be soon filled with a stock of general mer chandise. Citizens of Underwood are much pleased to know they are to have a store. Amos Underwood, known by all old timers along the Middle Colunibia,oper ates the ferry between Underwood and Hood River. Ed Underwood lias 30 acres, 15 of which are in cultivation. He sold off his orchards, hut still has plenty of this excellent orchard land left. Ilia place for years was noted for its excellent watermelons. W. H. Kellendonk has 120 acres. He is a pioneer in the growing of straw berries here without irrigation. He has about two acres in orchard, apples, pears, peaches and prunes. His melon patch is a great producer. From one quarter of an acre of cantaloupes he sold 150 crates so far this season, and has lots of them left. Some mammoth pumpkins are growing in hisgarden.and if he brings one of his big ones to Hood River'B fair it may take the prize. He shipped so far this year 150 crates of tomatoes. He is now gathering a good crop of field corn for this dry season. Last year from three acres in corn he harvested 200 sacks. Mr. Kellendonk has more land than he needs and has land to sell. HenrichJKopp has 15 acres, on which are 110 peach trees. J. A. Keeley and C. S. Dubois, who last November purchased the Wendorf place of UK) acres, have 500 peach trees and 50 apple trees, and other varieties of fruit. Their Early Crawford eaeh trees six years old, averaged 2:! boxes to the tree this season, and it was the best quality of fruit. They will plant 1000 more peach trees and a cherry orchard. Keeley & Dubois are well satisfied with their purchase and the country, but they have more land than they can make use of and are willing to divide with new neighbors at a fair considera tion. Fred Luthy has 160 acres of this fine fruit land which he homesteaded. It ie a sight to see his well loaded apple and prune trees. The peaches, of which he has about 100 trees growing, have the finest flavor the writer ever tasted. Mr. Luthy's family went to the hop fields in the Willamette valley, where his 17-year-old son Fred had the misfortune to break his leg. Charles Kosenkranz has quite a good sized clearing on his homestead, and has fruit trees coming into bearing. He lias tine land for grapes, come of the bunch es of his Sweetwater grapes are of enor mous size. His peach trees are bear ing this year for the first crop. Captain Henry Olesen is back again on his ranch. Mrs. Olesen spent the summer visiting relatives in Iowa and Kansas and put in 14 days at the fair at St. Louis. Mrs.Olesen is a very observ ing woman, and her description of the fair and her experiences w hile travelling are interesting. 1$. Vench has rented the Goddard farm and moved up from Chenoweth. Mr. Veach is energetic and progressive, and there is no reason to doubt his abil ity to make a success at farming and fruit growing in the Underwood district. The Norway settlement on the upper part of the Underwood district was vis ited. It was the intention of the Gla cier man to visit every farm in this dis trict before returning home, but the rain Wednesday caused him to change his.plans. The Norway settlement is a commu nity of hardy pioneers, mostly Norwe gians. Here is found the log cabins with puncheon floors and home made furniture, industrious housewives and healthy-looking children. The land is all taken and homesteads located even up and over the mountains as far as Chenoweth. There is much compara tively level land in the Norway settle ment that the vieitorwas surprised to find after viewing the country from the south side of the Columbia. The soil is rich and seems to be the same for a depth of 15 feet or more, with no rocks. A heavy growth of fir timber makes clearing slow work, but the settlers have made wonderful progress in clearing their farms. The valuable saw timber of this set tlement should lie an inducement for the location of a big saw mill. Plenty of water can le taken from Buck creek to flume the lumber to the Columbia, and a good wagon road from here to the river would make hauling the lumber easy. Portable saw mills would pay. P. I father's place is the first upon entering the settlement. He it three miles from Underwood landing by the road, and three-quarters of a mile from White Salmon river. He homesteaded 100 acres, but has sold 10 acres to Thom as Anderson, a newcomer from Minne sota, who has cleared the land and will make it a garden Bpot of a home. Mr. S. has about seven acres in cultivation, and enough orchard coming into bear ing to show that he has excellent fruit prospects. Of his 100 fruit trees he has a choice variety of apples, peaches,cher ries and prunes. Mr. Sather is a pro gressive man in the community, indus trious and well muscled. He is doing his share toward making this section ot wilderness to bloom and blossom as the rose. Recognizing the fact that the Glacier representative was the first news paper man to penetrate these wilds, he hitched up his tine span of horses to his hack and took him over the district, for which and other courtesies extended, the Glacier man is much indebted. K. S. Knutson has a homestead of 160 acres adjoining Mr. Sather on the north. David Satre has 80 acres of a home stead adjoining that of Mr. Sather on the west. He has a clearing of ten acres, keeps several cows, and Mrs. Satre makes an excellent brand of but ter. With the good, cold water of this section, a competent butter maker like Mrs. Satre will always find ready sale for her product. Charles Knutson's homestead adjoins that of Mr. Satre, of which H. A. Taw ney of Hood River bought 60 scores. Next comes N. M. Murch, a progress ive young man who is improving his homestead and carving out a desirable home for himtelf and family. Israel Ziegler, who purchased C. D. Moore's homestead right, is building a dwelling house and w'lllcontinue the work of clearing begun by Mr. Moore. Mr. Ziegler is nephew of Sam Ziegler of White Salmon. a vounir man from Pnn. sylvania, industrious and of sturdy character and we predict his homestead will some day show how they do things in Pennsylvania, where the best farms in me union are touna. Ole Tenold has a claim adioiuintr Mr Murch on which he resides with his tannly and is making improvements. Other settlers here are Gilbert Knnt ion, Simon Knutson. Mr. Jackson. Mr Seeley, Mr.Dixon and Mrs. J.i.Church- mil. NEW SETTLEMENT AT WHITE SALMON By a Staff Correspondent. White Salmon. Wash., Sent. 20. About H miles from the steamboat dock at v hue ealmon, taking the Cap tain Cook road, is a settlement made up mostly of people from Michigan. It is a community of Binall buildings, 5 and 10 acres, and the straw berrv here finds its natural home. So many of these people being from Michigan, it has been proposed that the settlement should be known as Koscomon, after the town they came from in Michigan. Among ine ftiicniganuers Here are the families of J. C. Cox, Willliam Hvberger, VV. J. Ferguson, Henry Hoffman, El wood Peck, Frederick Peck, P. S. Peck. J. C. Cox has 5 acres about one-half cleared. He has lyi acres in slrawber ries that look remarkably well consid ering that they have had no water. M. fox is clearing bin far trees from his place bv burnina them off at the butt, and then making them into fire wood. Mr. and Mrs. box came here from Michigan last December. Thev have had 14 children, eight of whom survive, and all are crown and married. W. J. Ferguson has 10 acres of his home place and seven acres of another piece. He has lj acres in strawberries set last April that are worth seeing. They come up to anything seen in 'the irrigating section. Mr. Ferguson has Deen on Ins place two years. P. S. Peck has 5 acres, mostly cleared and set in strawberries, and a good home place. George Simonds, who bought five acres of G. W. Overbaugh, adjoining wrs. Wilson, is grubbing and preparing his land for strawberries. He has a Faultless grubbing machine and is pulling grubs for Solomon Parish. Solomon Parish has five acres, bought of Overbaugh, and is also preparing his land tor Derries. Mr. Parish, when a boy, lived with his parents at Hood Itiver, and will be remembered by the pupns wno auenuea me rranmon school lit vears utro. He is now titukimr a nonic lor ins mother and sisters, Stella and i-iucinda, who now live at Albany, Or. M. C. Martin, who moved ud from Cascade Locks with his family two weeks ago, is now occupying his new house on the ten acres bought of Cap tain H. C. Cook. CLEAR THEIR LAND FOR APPLE TREES The Glacier man had the pleasure last week of visiting the Thornton or L-ameron settlement at White Salmon, frequently mentioned in the Underwood notes as Thorntonville. Mike Thornton was found eatheriiiB his prune crop, with a large force of men, women and girls picking and packing the fruit. Mr. Thornton has 96 acres h in strawberries; 10 in orchard, consisting of 800 apple trees, 100 prunes, 100 peach ; 40 acres under the plow. He has a fine spring that irrigates three acres of berries and gar den anil he can irrigate three acres more from the same spring. Mr. Thornton also farms 22 acres belonging to his father-in-law, A. Y. Marsh of The Dalles. He has a fine crop of fruit this year. He is now marketing 500 crates of Al prunes which go to Scobble & Day, New York. For the past three years he has shipied his prunes to the same firm, and last year netted 60 cents for 20-pound boxes. Mr. Thornton will have 1,000 boxes of apples, only about 15 per cent wormy, and he has not sprayed this year. The new road, known as the Cameron road, passes through liis place. This road is being built by the settlers and will cost $1,340 for 10,400 feet, the county building the bridges. The road begins at Under wood and intersects the road to Camas Prairie and Trout Lake, t miles from the Columbia river. It. D. Cameron has 640 acres. He came here in 1883 and settled on his land in 1889. He was in the saw mill business for several years with George Nicolai. He has 50 acres of cleared land, about six in orchard, consisting mostly of apples. He has fine fruit land. Some of his apples of the Hyde's King of the West variety, grown in 1903 he will show at the Hood River fair; Mr. Cameron has good improvements on his place with 4,200 feet of 3-inch pipe he brings water from a big spring on the west side of the White Salmon river to irrigate his alfalfa, strawberries and garden patch. For house use he has a pipe from a spring on the hill east of his house. Mr. Cameron recently sold 40 acres to F. McKercher of Port land, who is building a fine cottage and will set out an orchard. Mr. Cameron at one time was a neighbor in Nevada with our genial friend, John Cradle baugh. Both belonged to the same Good Templar lodge. Ira Rowland has 20 acres bought of Jake Thornton and Ed Thornton. He has 8 or 10 acres cleared land. He has a small orchard of a variety of fruit and will plant 400 peach trees this fall. He is now preparing to sow wheat on a burn, sowing the seed in the tabes, which is said to insure a big crop In this country. J. C. Clarkson, a pioneer of this sec tion, has 10 acres here, 6 in strawber ries and small orchard. He has 20 acres at White Salmon. D. Davidson Bettled here in 1900. He proved up on 40 acres but has since sold off all but 10 acres. He is preparing land to set out 5 acres to orchard next spring, apples and peaches. He finds that this immediate neighborhood is the best for peaches, and will go largely into this cultivation. Peaches have never been known to fail here. Three Jurors Cured. Mr. G. W. Fowler of Hlghtower.Ala., relates an experience he had while serv ing mi a petit jury in a murder case at Edwardsville, county Beat of Clebourne county, Alabama. He says: "While there I ate some fresh meat and some souse meat and it gave me cholera mor bus in a very severe form. I was never more sick in my life and sent to the drugstore for a certain cholera mixture, but the druggist sent nie a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy instead, saying that he bad what I had sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he would rather send it to me in the fix I was in. I took one dose and was better in five minutes. The second dose cured roe entirely. Two fellow jurors were afflict ed in the same manner and one small bottle cured the three of us.' For sale at Williams' Pbarruscy. Rev. J. B. Stark has disappeared from Prineville,leaving his d ;bti behind him. . RECORD SHIPMENT OF FANCY APPLES The largest high-nriced anule deal ever made in the Northwest has just been closed at Hood River, and a Port land farm is the buyer, said It. M. Hall oi the o. it. S A. to a telegram report' er alter his trip to Hoik! River last week. The lot includes 20 carloads of Newtown Pippins at $1.75 a bushel, and ten carloads of Spitzenbergs at $2.10 a bushel, on board the cars at Hood River, making a total of 18,000 bushels and bringing to the producers the sum of $33,600. The same Portland firm bought four additional cars of other apples for $2,400. ft. M. Hall, advertising agent for the O. R. & N. Co. returned this morning irom iioou itiver, where lie Jias been taking pictures of the vallev for "Ore- gun, Washington and Idaho, and Tljeir Resources," the yearly publication of the O. R. N. Co. He savs that the town and valley of Hood River, never looked so prosperous as at uresent. The town and country surrounding it are in a thriving condition, and every indication is tor a continuance of the present all-pervading prosperity. "from all appearances there is more building activity in Hood River than in any place of its size in the state," said Mr? Hall. "C. L. Gilbert has just completed improvements on his hotel there amounting to $17,000, making it up-to-date in every particular: f. t. touts is putting the finishing touches to a new $16,000 hotel: E. L. Smith is building a handsome $20,000 brick structure for store and olhce purposes Dr. F. C. Brosius is breaking ground for a $12,000 brick building, and work on the new flouring mill is being pushed. This null, which is the prop erty of T. W. Thompson, J. P. Alpin, and G. J. Gessling, will cost 120,000 and have a daily capacity of 100 barrels. It is being constructed so that the output can be increased to ax) barrels daily, and will begin operations about January l. "In addition to the business houses erected in Hood River this year, over ihv w lias been expended in new rem deuces. To drive through Hood River valley at the present tune is a revela tion. In fact it is almost one continu ous drive through apple orchards, and the trees are fairly groaning under their weight ot red and golden Iruit. The apple output tais year will be about 125 cars of the finest fruit. "Much Eastern money has been in vested in the valley during the past year, tsert van Horn and associates trom the state of Aew lork have invested $75,000 in apple orchards, and Oscar Yanderbilt of Chicago, has invested about 120,000, having pur chased 'Bculahland,' formerly the propeity ot L. Smith. Mr. Vander bilt was formerly a railroad man. but is now living on 'lieulahland,' where he is personally looking after his fceau tif ul place. o popular has apple-raising become in the Hood River vallev that the strawlierry acreage will be considerably less than one year ago, as many of the growers have pulled up their strawberry pianis ano gone into apple growing, it being their belief that more money can be made in apples. lireat preparations are now being made for the fruit fair to be held at Hood River about the middle of Oc tober. The apple-growers expect to make the best showing of fruit ever seen at Hood River. The fair will be held in a large tent near the O. R. & N. depot, and because of its nearness to the railroad it is expected that many tourists w in ne enaoiea to Bee lor them selves what Hood River can do in the way of fruitgrowing." Alberta Country Too Cold For Him. Charles Chandler returned last Sat urday from a trip to the Alberta coun try in Western Canada, where he went on hearing glowing accounts of the country with a view of locating there if he tound things suitable. Mr. Chandler says the country is a rich farming sec tion, but the climate there is too cold to suit him. It froze ice every night last week. To take up land in Allierta one must become an English subject. Mr. Chad- ler says he would buy land before re linquishing his American citizenship. There are many Americans in Alberta, and they are the making of the country, says Mr.Chandler. Hundreds of them have gone into that country from Kan sas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Da kotas. Even the Englishmen admit that the Americans are the more enter prising. Those people who come out from England appear perfectly helpless on a farm, says Mr. Chandler. Fearful Odds Against Him. Bedridden, alone and destitute. Such. in brief was the condition of an old soldier by name of J.J. Havens, Versales, O. For many years he was troubled with kidney disease and neither doc tors nor medicines gave him relief. At length he tried Electric Bitters. It put him on his feet in short order and now he testifies. "I 'm on the road to complete recovery." Best on earth for liver and kidney troubles and all forms of stom ach and bowel complaints. Only 50c- uuarantee uy unas. . uiaik the drug' gist. Skamania's Court House Cost $10,000. Contractor S. H. Cox was up from Stevenson last Saturday. Mr. Cox haB about completed the carpenter work on the Skamania county court house. When completed, and the jail cages put in, this handsome building will have cost 110,000. This would indicate that the people of Skamania county are not so slow, even if two-thirds of their ter ritory is taken ,up by a forest reserve. Contractor Cox is also figuring on a hospital Dr. Thomas Carr Avery pro poses to erect at Stevenson. The doctor thinks such an institution would pay well, and Portland physicians have promised to send him patients from that city if the hospital is erected. Card or Thanks. We desire to extend our sincere thanks to those, our many friends, who were with us during the sickness and at the burial of our dear little Baby Baldwin, bestowing that loving kindness in many ways, which was greatly appre ciated by us ancf which can never be forgotten, though with sorrowful hearts we have laid him to rest, our darting baby boy. M. and Mks. Louis Baldwin. Chamberlain's Remedy Aids Nature. Medicines that aid nature are always most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy acts on this plan. It allays the cough, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions,atid aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Sold at Williams' Pharmacy. How to Can Italian Prunes. William Kennedy of the East Side, who advertises in another column that be has Italian prunes for sale at his ranch for one-half cent a pound, says he supplied from 200 to 400 pounds of the fruit every year to Watson's restaurant at Portland. Mr. Watson gives s new recipe for canning the prunes. The fruit is al lowed to ripen until the prunes are filled with sugar. The fruit is then dipped into boiling water until the skin cracks. Women and children then remove the skins and wash the prunes in clear water, when the fruit is cooked and put into cans ready for winter use. The pits are left in the prunes, as they impart a flavor to the fruit, and the longer the canned product is kept the better it gets.
