WATER IS RUNNING
The high flume of the Farmers' Irri
gating Co. over Pine Creek gulch has
lieen replaced by a Hume and ditch
along the side of the mountain, und
water U now running in this canal, so
M. If. Nickolsen, secretary of the
company, informs the (ilacier.
ilouday, Manager A. U. Stfiten
started out with a force of men to
clean the ditches and widen the main
ttunm and canal in places where it is
considered too narrow. . The canal
dug around the side of the lilulT has
been constructed seven feet wide,
which is considered ample for all of
the water that will he necessary to
carry through this ditch.
The Fanners' Irrigating Co. expect
to bring down between l."00 and KS00
inches of water this summer. Con
tracts have already been signed for
1100 inches. There are several parties
says Mr. Nickelseu, who haven't the
money to secure permanent shares in
the ditch company, and if they can
not secure water for their fruit their
crops will be a total failure.
Hero is a diliicult proposition for
the board of directors of the com
pany, ami they must meot it in several
cases by selling water at so much per
inch for the season.
Some sort of security will be taken
on the crops of farmers securing water
in this manner.
Tliouirlit Clark (lot up the Fair.
"Is Senator Clark behind the fair
you are going to have out there this
summer'.'" inquired a well-dressed
and apparently well educated man on
the train the other day of 11. li. Orr,
who was returning from a trip to
ri lut iv( s in the Fast.
Mr. Orr says there are wholo lots of
people who have no more idea of what
the Lewis and Clark fair is, but he
talked with hundreds of people who
have heard there is to be something
here, and they are determined to
come v,e.t tiiis summer and look the
country over, and if they like it will
return and make their home here.
.Mr. and .Mrs. Orr and little boy
returned Tuesday afternoon. They
left here November 'Xi, and have
bleu traveling from placo to place
ever since. Most, of the time as

PARKERTOWN MILL
STARTS UP MAR. I
The hum of the big saws again fills
the air at Purkertowu, the mills of the
Davenport Bros. Lumber Co. having
started up for the spring run yester
day morning. About 40 men are em
ployed and a large bunch of ties and
railroad timbers are being tlumed
daily to the yards in the lower valley.
Frank Davenport returned recently
from .Portland with a contract in his
pocket to furnish piling and timber
for the portage railroad now in course
of construction around the rapids in
the Columbia at Celilo. The Daven
port Bros. Lumber Co. have also
furnished ties for the Great Southern
railroad, building out south of the
The Dalles.
E. E. Allen, recently of The Dulles,
has been made general manager of
the mills and business of the Daven
port Bros. Lumber Co. of this city.
Mr. Allen has moved to Hood Kiver
with his family,' and is looking for
property on which to build a home
this miring.
VOGT BROi OPEN
CLOTHING STORE
Vogt Bros, have opened for busi
ness in the Broslous brick with a
stock of men's furnishing goods,
clothing, hats, and haberdasherie.
This firm intends to carry a high
grade stock of goods and hopes to be
come firmly established in the busi
ness community of this city.
The firm is forced to put up with
the inconvenience incident to a delay
in the arrival of many of their goods,
and for this reason have been unable
to start with the store fitted up as
they wish.
Both gentlemen are well known in
Hood lUver and the The Dalles, their
former home, and their friends feel
confident the young men will meet
with deserved success.
Dalies ltojs UUe Vogt a Dinner,

Mason's Sulphur ami Lime Spray.
Hood Iliver.Mar.l. Editor (ilacier:
While attending tho meeting of the
Oregon Hort icultural sorciety at Port
land and the Northwestern Fruit
growers' meeting at; Boise, Idaho,
last January, 1 found I stood alone in
experience in tho u.-c of sulphur and
lime spray with caustic soda. At
both meetings 1 tried to explain why
1 thought it was a superior method
of preparing this spray, and since that
time many inquiries, have come to nie
relative to how to prepare the spray
Fvery miril brings me letteis asking for
the f omnia; so, to benefit all, lwill
ask you to print the following formula :
2') pounds lime; lo pounds sulphur; ;"
pounds caustic soda; udd enough
water to make oil gallons of tho mix
ture. Mix the sulphur into a thin paste
with warm water then add it to your
unslaked lime, then slake your lime
with warm water, but do not drown
it. After your lime and sulphur is
slacked and while at the highest heat
add your caustic soda ; keep stirring
it and do not let it burn dry. At all
times keep enough warm water in
the mixture to make it a paste. After
the caustic soda lias stopped its boil
ing, add enough water to complete
tho formula. Warm water is prefer
able, but cold wiil do after it is
cooked.
This spray is no new-fangled all'air.
It has been experimented wit h by
our government experiment stations
for the past three years. Both the
New York and the Connecticut sta
tions speak very highly of it. At one
station last year Id dill'erent sprays
were used and this one left the h ast
percentage of live scale. 1 used it on
my 'JO-ucro orchard last season with
perfect success and expect to use it
again this season. It saves much
labor and time over the old methods
of cooking over a fire. Don't lie in
a hurry to spray; wait until tho buds
are swelling. There is no danger of
it burning the trees before the buds
are bursted. A. I. MASON,
President Apple Irowers' Union.

in this state, a mere pigmy when com
pared with the massive engines ol today
weighing, as it does, but 10 tons.
This '"Baby" locomotive, was built in
San Francisco in bSii"-li.H and imported
here. For t years it made daily runs
on wiiml-n tad- overs seven mile track
along the Columbia river. At the expir
ation of that tine, it was sold to David
Hemes, a 4!)'er w ho returned it to that
California metropolis.
Mr. Hemes now vouchsafes his in
tcutiau to evhibit the diinimiitive loco
motive at the World's Fair, where he
will place it alongside of a tHi-tun leviat
han, recently constructed for the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company,
the company that first owned the
smaller engine. In so far as the latter
is I:! feel long, the contra-! will be
marked.

Goldendale, Wash,. Mar. 1 Two
more chicken thieves were caught last
night in possession of some of the
nicest chickens in town. The thieves
are now in the county jail awaiting
trial. One of them was recently fined
for this offense to the amount of
i?'i5. and costs, amounting in all to
7S.
The railroad strike is over. There
is a new crew throughout, and trains
are running on the regular schedule.
Tho old crew were all paid off and
discharged.
The proposed new grade across the
Big Klickitat river was surveyed by
Deputy Surveyor Richardson, and was
not considered practicable, it U-iug
too steep to make a grade. This is
on the Goldendale nnd Cumas Prairie
road.
Assessor ivayser expects to be
ready by the middle of the month
to begin assessing. The deputies have
not yet been appointed.

Doth Placed in the Same (irave.
Particularly sad is the death of Mrs.
Virgil Wincliell and little daughter
who wero buried this morning in the
little graveyard at Pine Grove. The
distracted husband and father is be
side himself with grief.
Monday afternoon, Mr. Wincliell
went to Portland with his three-year-old
daughter Lena, who was suffering
from peritonitis, and whom he took
to the hospital lor special treatment.
.Mrs. Wincliell had been contiuod to
her bed with grip nnd symptoms of
pneumonia, but when their child was
taken to the hospital, the mother felt
hopeful of its recovery, and got up
that nt t -i 1 1 hi in .
At '2 o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Wincliell was dead. Death it is sup
posed us brought about through heart
trouble. Mr. Wincliell returned Tues
day morning, and the following morn
ing received word that his daughter
had passed away.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Pino Grove church this Thursday
muring, attended by a large concourse
of friends and neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. Wnchell were among
the early pioneers of Hood River.
Mrs. Wincliell, came here with her
father, George Knnpp, nearly i!Ti
years ago, w hile Mr. Wincliell is one
of the first white persons born in the
valley. .Mrs. Wincliell would have

Last Day of School, April 21.
The Hood River public, schools will
close the term, Friday, April 'Jl, when
there will be special exercises for the
graduating class of the eighth grade.
The class this year will be i" strong.
Superintendent Wiley is arranging to
secure some prominent speaker of the
state to deliver an address to the grad
uates. It has not, been decided yet whether
the hHli grade pupils w ill hold grad
uating exercises. While it is possible
the district will not be able to add the
llth grade this coming year, it is al
most certain to add the third and
fourth years two years from now, and
make for Hood River a high school
with as complete a course as any
in the state.

The women ol tho Canby post W.
R. O. of this city presented the Pleas

berg of the Grand Army delivered the
principal address. The presentation
of the Hag was mndo by Mrs. E. L.
Smith and .Mrs. T. J. Cunning, patri
otic instructor of the corps.
Director Cn.uso made u few remarks
in behalf of the school. 'The flag is
a large one lu.x K feet, but the pole
is not large enough to prevent the
llaglioin sweeping the roof, so the
Gland Army has promised the school
a liberty pole which shall be placed in
the school yard.
