WASCO COUNTY AFTER PRIZES "Waspo county is going after the prizes at the Lewis and Clark fair, and we intend to get them, too," re murked Judge Lake, who was in the city Friday. "O. L. Schmidt, super intendent of the Wasco county exhi bit, and myself were in Portland last week, and the managers of the exposi tion told us we have made the lies! showing so far of any county iu the state. "Wasco county has nearly ;H) boxes of apples that have been kept in colli storage during the winter, and the tioor space allotted to us, MO.xHi feet, is the largest given to any coun ty in the state. We have one of the best Illations in the building, near the entrance, and close to the state ex hibit. There are no posts to obscure the Wasco county booth. "Yes, sir, we are going in to wn the county prize, anil there is no reason why we can't. We haven't set aside any large stun yet, but whatever it costs, the county is able to pay for it. If it takes .:UHH or .")Ul we are not going to hesitate on that score. The money will he appro priated as needed, and we do not in tend to go into the matter in a half hearted way. We intend to win, and win we will. "Hood liiver will of course have a line exhibit, of fruit, and Sentaor Johnson of Dufttr told me tho other day the people of his city are en thusiastic, and will do nil they can to help make the Wasco county ex hibit the best in the state. Tho Was co Warehouse and Milling Co. will send down an exhibit of Hour, and 1 suppose the Hood Hiver mill will do likewise. "One of the st liking features ot the exhibit will be a pyramid of na tural and scowered wool, anil wo have been assured of a lino buck sheep to top this olf. The pyramid will be octagon in shape and inclosed with glass. Wasco county is one of the largest wool producing counties in the state. "When in Portland the other day, Superintendent Schmidt and 1 se cured 110 doen monogram plates on which to display the apples and other perisnanie irtms. 1'liiy glass gioiies have been secured for exhibiting the grain, and a large number of large glass jars will be used to hold straw berries and other perishable fruits. . "I want Wasco county to win that prize, and 1 don't care what part of tho county puts up the best part of the exhibit. It will all be Wasco county, and will l.o a boiiellt to all sections of the county. Kvery ex hibitor will get the credit, for w hat he shows there, and so will the locality in which it is grown or manufactured. There will not be such another oppor tunity for exploiting the resources of our country for years to come, and we intend to take advantage of the exposition for this purpose, and to make a name for Wasco county anil the people who live here."

Special Correspondence, Willow Plat, hast Hood River. April IS. The water question seems to tie the general topin of I'lscnssion with everybody. The sul'ject of the contract litis been pretty well threshed out on both sides, but we believe the fanners are practically unanimous iu their resulve not to sign this contract as offered by the Kast fork company. ino runners living lu the lower Kast Side are practically unanimous iu refusing to pay more than go an inch, many of the leading orchardists de claring it ttiestionable whether tho water is a benefit or an injury. At the meeting held Friday night the committee w ho waited upon the manager of the Irriagtion Co. report ed that the manager declined to ac cede to t he tern s of the resolutions that were presented to him. A com mittee of five wtis dually selected to investigate the best plan of eontroling their own water supply. The general sentiment seems to favor tho organi zation of a bonding district. W'e have talked this- plan over w ith several uou residetit laud owners and all have ex pressed their willingness to blaco their lauds under a bondii.g proposi tion. If CuKHl orTUM acres could be oritgn ized into such a district ami bonded for a'iong term of years at a low rate of interest it is believed an issue of bonds amounting to tiH,tHii) or f'o.tHKI could be limited. Such bonds should readily command a premium on the market. Another meeting will be held at Pino drove Friday night, April "H, when the committee will make its report. Mrs. J.

HIGH PRICES FOR MOSIER FRUIT LAND Alexander Stewr.rt, a Mosier mer chant, was in tho city Saturday. Mr. Stewart says many Portland men have placed a large amount of money iu Mosier real estate in the last month or so. Many F.asterners ure also dropping into the country uml buying farms, Among the recent real estate chang es wits the purchase of the Friend ranch by Dr. McOruin of Portland, who paid foiniO for the property. The doctor w ill soon have :I0 acres iu or chard. Mr. Howe of Portland bought the W. II. Kvans farm, paying siiSoil for l'Jl) acres which Mr. Kvans secured three years ago for ir'li'jtl. Mr. Howe will build a new residence, ami in tends to clear the land for apples. A. P. Ilateham has had from three to l.'i men at work all year clearing land. Mr. liatehain lias III ncirs set to bel lies and will soon have (ill acres iu or chard. This place is one of tho ear liest on the river, strnwl eu ies ripen ing hero as early us at White Salmi n.

To illustrate the productiveness of Mosier soil, (ieorge Carroll last year realized ijW) troin tour acres planted to upples, cherries ami pears. Tho apple tiets, by the way were only four years old. Mr. Stewart says the Mosier peo ple are anxious to see a gooil wagon road between this city and the Mo sier valley. As it is now it is euiser for Mosierites to make the wagon trip to Tho I lalles, l.'i miles distant, than to travel the almost impassable six miles to Ilood liiver. Many more people would come to Hood Hiver if a l etter road were constructed. Lois of Fruit at Tlie Dulles. "Outside of apples, I have never seen the fruit in this section look bit ter, and unless the latent, cold sm.i has been too severe (and 1 do not believe it hasi we will have an excep tional crop," said Fruit Commissioner Weber 1 0 t lie Chronicle. Mr. Weber says the apple crop v ill I not be so largo as last, year, but. latj'o i enough. In other words, the fruit will not have to bo thinned, as much as in Mime years previous. Kaeh year l etter j grades of all kinds of fruit are beini mt i nduced and orchardists are oil the road to perfection along that line If tho peach crop this year is ;.i ybt t ter than that of last year, it :. a : t bo a "dandy.
