We coniniend .Mr. Davidson in desir ing a Kiiinincr home on Willow Klat, for there is no heller (portion of equivalent ar. a to he found in the entire valley. However, we wich to say in justice to me community, that when our sylvan solitudes are broken by a few more sum mer camp, it will more properly be the Jt.ni ion 1-lata There seems to be a certain amount of cussednent in the average man, and the manner ol its manifestations vary with each individual. Aiiuhik other things that we have ohservd men do. is to shoot up things in general, with par ticular luieiiuoii pnin to private man boxes along the public highways. While such aclH of vand. li-m are pernaps due more ti I he though! lessne exuberance of healthy physical spirits, than malice, yet there is no excuse whatever for such conduct. Further, if tliiiii.'" are brought to the notice of the Kstul air hoi-ties, the bo8 may probably conclude there are other things that make as good targets an mail boxes. At all events a word to the wise is sullicietit. The hot dry weather of the past veek was broken Sunday by a sudden falling off of teinpeiiUtire accompanied by good rain. Hen ies that had not been irri gated were beginning to need it, also hay of all kinds wa-beginning to show the effects of the absence of the normal precipitation. Now, however, the hay crop is practi-ally assured without irri g.ition, an I o her crop are benefitted in like inea-iii'e. Hood liiver will d iiibtleps be a mecca to hundreds of tourists visiting the Lewis and C nrk fair this summer, and the People of ih .' valley should lose no opportunity to let these people view the valley from every vanlnt'e point. Among all tlics-, there i.s none Unit can compare with the view oleaim d from the top of the ISootli hi'l. ! iviii here one has an uiiintiirnii ted viewj in every'direction. To the n 'rib one fees tin well laid out orchards, looking like hug checker boards, with here and there a patch of clover or alfalfa. Farther west can be Keen the mammoth berry fields. Around the base of the hill like a silver ribbon flows the canal of the Kast Fork Irriga tion Co. carrying its life-giving waters to every ranch on the east side. Looking toward the southwest one gets the fin est view of .Mount. Mood to be found in all the valley. In a Id'tion to the views obtained the peculiar formation of the summit of the hill affords much food for thought, as well as speculation concern ing the origin of the soil in its vicinity. C. I). Thompson of Barrett was up Saturday looking after his nursery. PrnjmsrateH an Karly Berry. New berg Graphic. Strawberries and cream on the first of Stay!

MOUNT HOOD MAN WANTS DAIRY HERE Soecial Coi respondents. Mount Hood, Or., May I notiee by the report on the meeting held at Pine (irove a statement of one man that there will be 400 tons of clover hay to be kept over this year. That is a surprise to some of us, hut there Is a Remedy for thai. I will suggest that some enterprising man fake hold of it and start a-reaniery in Hood Kiver When the railroad is complete it would bring everyone in reach of it. Make it a stuck company and 'he people of Mount Hood will buy stock, at least some of them will. Then there will bp a market for every bit of hay raised in both valleys. There is not a man farming 20 acres of land who could not keep !rom three to 20 head of cowa and have a good market for hav. Further more there is no beller place to raise roots such as carrots, turnips, mangold and rutabanas. We hope to gee some one take hold of this soon because what is taken hold of by Hoixl River eop'e is done and done right. J. L.
