HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1904. HAVE NO AT ST. EQUAL LOUIS The Hood River apples have reached St. Louis, and all sorts of fine compli ments are being showered on the hand some display. Monday morning E. I.. Smith received the following letter from H. K. Van Deman: "As I am here at the fuir and a lot of your apples are being put on exhibit I want to congratulate you on the grand show they are making. There is noth ing equal to them in the whole horticul tural building. They are simple perfec tion. Those in charge here, and Mr. Galloway in particular, are doing all that is possible to show your fruit to ad vantage and that from other sections of vour state and talk to the public about It. "It is my hope to be able to visityour coast and the Lewis and Clark exposi tion next year. My friend Dnseli is making good headway here in the secur ing of exhibits." The above letter from Professor Van Deman, former chief of pomology in the United States, is extremely gratifying. Professor Van Deman is horticultural editor of several leading publications and Mr. Smith says there is no more learned authority in the whole country. He is a warm friend of Oregon, and it was his suggestion at Buffalo in regard to the proper entry of the Oregon fruit exhibit there that assisted materially in securing for this state the much coveted Wilder medal. Mr. Smith received word that the Hood Kiver apples reached St. Louis Octolier 27, but it was three days be fore the the car could be transferred to the fair grounds, so great is the con gestion of trallic in that city.

Comma into court tins morninf, we plead guilty to a desire to purloin all the news going and alter being tola tnat, as usual, courting had no sooner begun than bills followed suit, and this was all that was doing, we broached the subject of an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark lair, men Judge iaKe anu uom missioners Hibhard and Stoughton woke ud and became enthusiastic, re marks The Dalles Chronicle. "Of course we are nouur to make provision for that." they said. "The county will not be stingy in that regard; but will make a hue exniuit wormy ot sucn productive county, and appropriations will e made from time to time as needed." The liest fruits, grains, veg etables, in fact evervtlnni raised therein will be brought from every section and displayed before our visitors. One thousand dollars has been offered for the heat general exhibit. Wasco may not eet that: but she will get the award for the fruit exhibit. The county judge is desirous that any one having an thine eSDeciallv worthy of display su - mit it to them, and it will be preserved for exhibit. All articles will be paid for. Already 200 boxes of apples have been secured and will be placed in cold storage. On a recent visit to the expo sition grounds Judge Lake and others reserved a space 30x40 feet wherein the wonders of Wasco will be piacea. Worms Invade Pine Flat Orchards. Rav Iinbler of Pine Flat, Klickitat countv. Wash., was in the city Friday ' The Regulator being bff her run, he had to cross troiii Brooks lauding to Mosier and walk down the railroad track. The Regulator is the only steamer that makes Brooks landing, between Bingen and Lyle. Ray is teaching school in his home district, his first experience at training the young idea now to snoot. The codlin moth havb invaded the orchards of the Pine Flat country, and this vear the crop was shorter than nsuaf. Last year, Ray's orchard was sprayed but twice and there were com paratively no worms. This yeai it. was sprayed five times and there were more worms than ever. He says he will spray thoroughly after this. His apples are marketed in Portland. The Pine Flat country is a bench on top of the hills behind White Salmon. A good road leads down the canyon to Brooks landing, about two and a half miles from Mr. Imbler's ranch. The country is comparatively level, and Ray says there is a family on every quarter section between Pine Flat and Golden dale. Sends His Pictures to St. Louis. Dr. W. F. I-araway writes to his son-in-law, Mr. Cooper, that he sent the pictures he took of the Hood River fruit fair to a friend of his at St. Louis, who promised to see that the views were properly displayed in the Oregon Lulld ing. Dr. Laraway, it will be remem bered took some very fine views of the apple displays. It was almoBt as good as a visit to "the fair to see the pictures. Dr. Laraway say9 he marked the pictures in large letters so all who saw them would know they were Hood River scenes. The doctor is now in (ilenwood, Iowa, but hopes to return to Hood River in the spring. (Jall ering Apples At White Salmon. R. Fields was in the city from White Salmon Friday looking after the renting of his house he recently purchased of Mr. Tenold. 1 fi advertises it for rent or sale in another column. Mr. Fields fays the farmers of White Salmon are busy gathering tlieir crop of aimles. His own farm, like a majority of the places there, has no bearing trees yet, but the Balsiger place will turn off 700 or 800 bushels of apples this fall, ud the Captayi Cook farm, Mr. Fields thinks,1 should harvest 1000 boxes or more. Mr Fields was picking. apples for Mr. Balsiger last week and he says he gathered some very fine Jonathans. The farmers are giving their orchards more attention, and as a consequence are gathering a better grade of fruit. Mr. Fields says the district fruit inspec tor was in that country from Golden dale last week. He gave orders that the orchards must be sprayed next summer. If the growers do not see to this matter, the inspector says he will have it attended to by the authorities at the grower's expense. The White Salmon farmers are com ing to know the value of spraying, and there is little doubt that their orchards will be well taken care of this next year. The fruit industry is coming to the front in that section of western Klick itat. Mr. Fields has kindly consented to furnish the Glacier a weekly news let ter. If the people of White Salmon will kindly aid him in collecting the items, the Glacier will endeavor to give the people of that section a much better service than they have been getting of late. MONSTER KINGS 54 TO THE BOX A box of apples, the compliment of Sears & Porter, reached the Glacier ofiice last week. On opening the lid, there were exposed to view 18 magnifi cent Kings of Tompkins County. Be neath this were 18 more apples the duplicate of the first tier, and beneath that still another, every apple perfect in shape and of an even size throughout the box. The 54 ancles weighed 50 pounds, making each apple but little less than 16 ounces in weight. The flavor was all that could be desired juicy and with a sparkle like that of champagne cider. Messrs. Sears & Porter have the thanks of the Glacier man for the fine apples. He never ate better ones. Sot Pleased With Bend Country. F. T. Miner recently returned from trip to Eastern Oregon and into the Bend countrv. Mr. Miner says the country about Bend did not give him a favorable impression, lie nau nearu a great deal about the country and decided to see for himself. Rocks and Juniper trees abound there. About 14,000 acres of laud has been settled upon, and next year a Dig irrigating ditch will supply the farmers with an abundance of water. This, says Mr. Miner, should give the land an opportunity to show what it can produce. The land is cut ud into 40-acre tracts, and one can purchase it on the basis of 114.75 per acre. here any amount oi the land cannot be cultivated, the price is accordingly tees. No man can secure more than UK) acres. Mrs. Miner is home from a trip to Wyoming, Iowa, whereshe went in May to visit triends ana relatives. Mosier District Gets Attention. About a year ago Hood River fruit growers began to overnow tno iiooa River valley and the neighboring Mosier district. For many years it has been known that the Mosier section was a good one for growing fruits hut there was not much outwara indication oi growth in the community until this vear. Now a large number of new houses can be seen trom the station anu when the train stops a number of active real estate men are ready to explain to the uassenger whose ear they can eaten that the best kind of fruit land can' be had in the vicinity of Mosier at one- third of Hood River valley prices. The fruit growing business has many downs as well as tips but it has already done a great deal for the development of the country adjacent to tne coiuinoia river, east of the Cascades, and it will con tinue to do more and more in the future Rural Northwest. Californian Seeking Sew Location. M. M. Deweyj a fruit man from near Los Angeles, is in Hood River looking the valley over with the idea of making an investment. Mr. lJewey says the price of oranges gets lower each year in California and the supply of water scarcer and scarcer. During the summer months when water is most needed, the Btreams that have formerly supplied an abundance of water go almost dry. water has to be pumped from wells. Mr. Dewey is in terested in a pumping plant that was installed at a cost ot $10,000, and pumps 200 inches of water a day. The operat ing expenses alone amount to J0 i day. Fine Apples From White Salmon. Sam Shell, who has been doing cam' Daign work down in the White Salmon section, brings to this office a very fine assortment of apples, some of which were larger, bo it is said, than any exhibited at the recent horticultural fair. Thev were grown by Messrs. Lar sen, Zeigler and others. The orchards of that part of the county, says Mr, Shell, are numerous, the apple crop large, and the people think there is no better countrv for that industrv. Small fruits, however, are principally raised and as they grow abundantly, and mar ket facilities are handy, of course the land is high. Goldendale Agricultuiiet. Makes Sale at $325 an Acre. George T. Prather made sale last week of ;io acres of the u. u. woaruman place. on the East Side to J.O.Mark and Herb' ert M.Varnnir.bolh of Devils Lake.N.D Sale includes the Boardman residence, and the selling price was $12,000, or $:!25 an acre. The land is all improved and contains 1200 apple trees. Another sale of 20 acres from the Boardman place was made to L. W Hill of Wall Lake, Iowa: consideration $2000. All three of these gentlemen have coine to Hood River to locate.They all have families. Want to Know About Hood Hirer. The following is a sample of the let ters reaching the secretary of the Hood Kiver Commercial duo each day: "Wolf Lake. Ind., Oct. 2I, 1904. Board of trade, Hood River, Or.

BOOTH'S BIG STORE WITH LITTLE PRICES J. S. Booth is moving his store goods into the Middleton building, corner of Third and Oak streets, formerly oeeu-. led by J. E. Rand. Booth s store has been known as the "Little Store with Little Prices," but as Mr. Booth an nounced last week it will hereafter be nown as the "Big Store with Little Prices." The Rand building has been remodeled and cut up into three rooms. Booth will occupy the corner room, which has been improved by adding a large win- ow on the third street side. this gives much more light and permits of a much betrer display ot the goods. 1 he real estate hrmot Geo. V. t ul- bertson & Co. will occupy quarters in the west end of the building. Another room has been fitted up and will be rented later. Mr. Booth's business has grown in four years from small pretentions to one of .l. i .1 ; 11 . i t .1.. nie leauing esutuiiBuuieius ui too city. This in a great measure has been due to judicious advertising in the columns of the Glacier. Mr. Booth is an ad writer of ability, and always gets up one of the most readable and attractive ads in the paper. His ads draw trade, as his cash receipts each week have proven. The Big Store with Little Prices will be arranged in departments and the goods displayed in a much better shape than it was possible to do in the old lo cation. The holiday goods are now ar riving, and will be the finest ever hand led here. . PINE GROVE. (Too lale for last week.)

Edward Lage left on the Saturday morning train for Portland where he intends to enter the Portland business college for the winter. Saturday, October 29, 26 teachers of Wasco county held their educational meeting at the Pine Grove school house. The teachers were served with a dinner out In the open air. Quite a number of the people of the district were present. A number of young people of Pine Grove took a notion thafthey would go on a ghostly raid last Saturday evening, so drove down town in a 'wagon and four," where they were joined by six others. Dressed as ghosts they made their appearance at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Jenkins where a very enjoyable evening was spent. Miss Blanche Harbison gave a Hal loween party Monday at her home. Her many friends were ushered through the gate by a couple of big lolly looking jack-o'-lanterns. Another grinned us welcome irom trie porcu, while a sprite of the most ghastly aspect escorted us up the walk to the door, where two more from the same realm, conducted us to the places of amuse ment. The silence of our ghostly escorts made the hearty welcome of our uusiesa me more nouceauie. aiier such an evening as can only be spent on Halloween night the party dis persed, each having had their fortunes told and declaring that the evening had been a very enjoyable one.

Nurserymen from Payette, Idaho, now in Fossil, tell us of a man up there who had 100 apple trees on one acre. which produced an average of 1100 pounds to the tree and that the apples sold at two cents per bound at the or chard, bringing the grower a total of $22 0. This caps the flOOO crop per acre claimed by the Hood River people; still, it is possible, and we have no reason to doubt Ihe Idaho nurserymen who are known as truthful men.
