HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1905. WHERE FRUIT IS PERFECTION (i 'out iiued flora page I.) fcectious in the Paciflci Vm-tW.wt producing in greatest perfection not ujy iue grapes tliat thrive iu Middle j.u one, dih mono originated in Spain, Italy, North Africa and Asia. Col onel Iiraekott. Doruolotfiat of rh d. partmetit of Agriculture, traveled 150 umea out or inn way to assure him sen unit grapes exhibited as Idaho ((rapes were realy grown in Idaho, ana stated that after an exhaustive inspection of the California vineyards a few weeks previous to bis visit, he nan seen noiuing mere o excel and little to equal what he saw in North ern Idaho. The experiments of wiue making have resulted in notable suc cess, the dry wines of the Riesslins d.wI Q.i.. t. I - i " tjnuti'iutj iyv uuviug ueen pro- nouiicea ny connlosseurs as coming uearear to tne hairopean wines than any grown in California, and these wines were awarded one of the 28 prizes at the Pan-American Kxposi tion at lluffalo acaiust GOO entries. J. Schaeffner, of Clukstou, isauthoity for the statement that his vineyard makes 1,500 gallons of wine to the acre, and that the cost of growing his grapes, manufacturing them into wine, allowing interest on the value ofthelaud, will not exceed $5 per acre. This w ine w hen two years old is easily worth 75 couts per gallon. Prank Eberle, near Juliutta, made 3,000 gal lons of wine from three and one-half acres of grapes, bolides selling large quantities ot tne tnut. which also shows tlie enormous profit on the in dustry. The dreaded pest of the grape-grower the phylloxera is un known in Idaho. Idaho prunes are already known on the Kastoru market, some varieties showing an unusual and and plea-ing combination of sweotuess and acidity. Chemical analysis of the Dawson variety proves that it appoxiiualcd the high sugar content of the 1'ieucu prune, while uniting with this quality it lias an acidity equal to that of the Italian fruit. The excellence on exhibition at Chicago World's alo, Charlestown of Oregon fruit up tlie St. Louis and fairs, Omaha, Ilutf- anu i aria exposi tions, have added much to the state's reputation as a fruit producer. Hood Kiver won l(i medals on fruit at the Chicago World's fair, including sevou on apples and the highest award on strawberries. The largest apple and the largest chorries exhibited at the same fair were from Oregon, and the largest pear from Washington. E. F. liabcoek, Walla Walla, Washington, took the first prize on apples over all the world at the Paris exposition. At Uuffalo the state received 27 gold medals agriculture, (i; foods and ac cessories, I; horticulture, pomology, viticulture, 18; forestry and forestry products, 2. Silver medals to all ex hibits, :s:(, of which 18 went to horti culture; bronze medals, 75, of which 15 went to horticulture. At the same exposition Oregon won the Wilder medid olfered by the American Pom ological society for tho most perfect fruit. At the Charleston exposition the Orogon horticultural and pomolo gical exhibit captured 34 gold, 14 sil ver and one bronze medal. With the continued development of the fruit industry the next decade us in the past, with the continued cure of producing extra fancy quali ties, there is no reason why Oregon should not become as famous for its fruits as California and Florida are for their oranges. For the "year 1904, Oregon's fruit crops amounted to 2,41:1,500: Prunes, 8102,500; apples, IRt;t5, 000 ; pears $245,000; peaches, 180, 000; grapes, 8110,000; chorries, 8125,000; other fruits, $40,000. .Mrilforil out for the Prizes. "Hood Kiver has a reputation for Hue fruits which she must work hard to maintain," remarked Henry Howe, who is up from Hosoburg to do some work on his homestead at Mount Hood. "The Medford people have some very lino fruit, and they will make every effort to defeat Hood Riv er for the prizes at the Lewis and Clark fair," continued Mr. Howe. "There is one serious thing the Medford growers have to contend with, nnd that is the shabby way in which most of the farmers put up their apples. They pack fruit in that country in any sort of a box, soap box, coal-oil box and the like. They have not learned how to make an attractive pack. "Neither have they learned to spray as the Hood Kiver orchardists. Throe times in one year is considered sutlicient down there, and thon they lose all faith in sprayinf because there are just as muuy worms in the applos as before they sprayed at all." Air. Howe came to Hood Kiver iu 1880, and is therefore entitled to be called one of tho pioneers of the val ley. He is at present employed as clerk iu the Koseburg land ollice. He still looks upon Hood Kiver as his home.

In my extremity a friend advised me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1 took two doses that after noon and could not believe my senses w hen I found the next morning the inflammation liml largely subsided. took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my scut in the council."

Mr. Steele is a florist of experience, and expects some day to branch out in that line. Ho placed an order Thuis day with Frank Strang for 200 apple and 50 cherry trees. The laud he purchased is naturally rich, and a truck garden should be a paying in vestment. I have a few pieces of cut glass left, which I wiil close out at the lowest pos sible prices.

NEWTOWNS SELL AT $5.43 A BOX During the mouth of February, Hood River apples gold at wholesale in London for 22s 6d a case, equivalent to 15.43. This is on the authority of Henry A. Penn, who in a letter to A. I. Mason, president of the Hood River Apple Growers' union says : "No doubt you will be glad to know that your apples still stand unrivalled on our markets. They are command ing higher prices than ever, and we have paid as much as 22s Gd a case for them during the last few weeks. Now, finding from the remarks made in your address at Boise regarding your returns, someone is making an harvest out of your fruit, even after making allowance for freightage. " AIM TO REGULATE THE FRUIT MARKET The Northwest Horticulturist of Ta coma makes the following announce moot : Fruit shipping associations are con tinuing to improve in their methods from year to year. This is due both to practice and because of increased bulk of product. Evoy year there is better co-operation between different fruit sections. It is probable that the Hood Kiver f ruit Growers Union, the Puyallup Association and the Vashou Association will unite on one representative salesman each at Hel eua, Butte and Great Falls, also at other points east. At local points it is likely in each of seveal places that one broker will act for several associaions. Fruit gowers are determined as much as possible to tlx prices In each of the dinerent mar kets. Jobbers and commission mer chants buying will handle on a fixed basis and as soon as any market is likely to be overstocked, the represen. tative wilt advise shipping managers send fruit elsewhere. One of the lin portant features for any fruit shipping association is to adhere to strict rules of picking and packing. The inspec tion should be very thorough when the boxes are put into crates. A little difference or error here caused much loss to one association last yoar. And it is a fact that all members of a ship ping association suffer alike when there is one poor packer. Individual members must not only watch their own pack, but should adopt a system preventing a single momler from putting iu fruit unfit to ship, for the penalty falls on all alike for any error committed. Two Young Men Want Positions, Can two or more young men of excellent habits and with good edu cation secure employment among some of your orchardists or farmers where they could be out of doors most of the time," writes C. A. Ham ilton, care Mutual Life Insurance Co.. 32 Nassau street. New York City. Ihey are young men Iwho can be reilea upon ana after they get broken in will be valuable to any one who is desirous of good reliaple help. They are anxious to "go west," and if they don't get "cold feet" will become residents of your state. 1 am father of one of the boys." Mr. Hamilton's letter was dated March 11, and he says: "Winter is still with us, and the Hudson river ten miles up is solid with ice, any where from 1G to 22 inches thick. Professor DeVao, our local weather prophet, predicts one more blizzard for this month. It makes one shiver to think of it when I look at your weather report. ' ' Rural Northwest Fruit Notes. According to the Medford Mail, be tween 2500 and 3000 acres of new or chards have been set out iu Jackson county, Oregon, the past season. The strawberry crop at Florin. Cal ifornia, commenced ripening earlier and faster this year than ever before. It is probable that it will U out of the way before Oregon berries begin to ripen, although if we continue to have warm sunny weather and no frosts Oregon strawberios will bo on the market two or throe weeks earlier than usual. It is rather peculiar that while we have had much less rainy weather than usual in Oregon this winter, there has been much more than the odinary amount of rain in California. The conditions are at present more than ordinarily favorable for a fine fruit crop the coming season. Night Prowling Thieves.

The value of having an abundance of any kind of produce for sale is demon strated in the shipment ot apples from Hood Kiver last year, where over a hundred carloads of fruit was disposed of. The sellers did not have to run around over the country, because there was suthcent fruit to calf buyers to that point. The bulk was sold f. o. b. to Eastern and Southern representatives. Arkansas Marks Bring $1.50. The Apple Growers' Union has com pleted the v ork of shipping last year's apple crop, the last bunch of Arkan sas Illacks being disposed of last week at $1.50 and 81.25 a box. This is con sidered a very good price. The fruit shippers will now take a well-earned rest until the berry season opens shortly after the first of May.
