WAKE UP AND WATCH
WHITE SALMON GROW
By n Staff Correspondent.
White Salmon, Waah., July 12,-Tlie
pant week ha been a remarkable one
for visitors. Weyeru k Krepa report
that it bag been one of the beat weeks
in the history of their stage line.
The irreat crowds to Trout Lake have
stopped and looked the town over and
many are taken up with the beautiful
surroundings and are inventing, and
more than that,they are telling others
about it. The berry returns have
been larue and as remarked one mer
chant, "there is plenty of money in
iuht." There is a great deal
building going on and a great deal
more is contemplated. The mer
chants are in good cheer, for it has
been a tine year, and collections are
splendid. The railroad talk has not
died out, but on the other band, bas
increased, and all now waited for, is
the active Hying of dirt.
There is a difference of opinion
among the merchant and the citizens
In general, as just where the best
place would be to locate the depot.
O. M. Wolfard, the merchant, aaid
"I am in favor of locating the depot
at itingen. I think it would be bet
ter for us on the hilL I am not in
the least bit fearful of the loss of
trade if the depot would be placed
there. It is true that the merohants
of that city could handle their stuff
about 7fo per ton cheaper, owing to
the long haul we are required to make,
"Hut U the depot was placed at tsin
gen it would be cheaper for me. The
dock where It ia now means an ex
tremnly heavy naul and the same
would apply to the farmers if the de
pot wa to go to lllngen. I lo not
Iwilieve the farmer would pass me or
the other meronants to trade, neoessl
tatlng an extra two miles hauL At
any rate, I will be heie to meet the
trade when it goes by, and will take
my chances on selling as cheap as the
other fellows. I am positive of the
fact now, that White Salmon is aelling
at a lower margin than any of the
other towns in direct competition
with us."
"Watch Taooma Grow" has been
heralded all over the country, and
there la no one who bas been to Port
land but what bas witnessed it flashed
on the hill. Well, one of the members
of the Taooma Booster club has been
the guest of Frank Egan for some
time past, and be ha done a little
boosting by distributing hundred of
cards bearing the inscription," Watoh
Incoinu Urow." Every place Mr,
Ugau would take his friend he would
pass out the cards. Not to be out
done, Mr. Kgan slipped into the Ku
terprise oflloe and soon had the presses
grinding out thousand of slips bear
ingthts: "While Taooma is Urow
iug, Keep Your Eye on White Sal
mon. " When the booster attempted
to pas the cards again he wa met
with a bunch of Mr. Egan cards,
It wa a good hit and the scheme will
lie kept up. It will do well, too, to
keep your eye on White Balmnn, for
she is growing rapidly. K L. 0.
Thrjr (Jet Iilg Cherry Price.
Snake lUver cherries sold for the
record price In New York this season.
when t:t.60 per box of ten pound wa
paid for Iflug cherries shipped from
the orchard of W. L. La toilette, at
Wuwawal, iu Whlttnen county, says a
writer from Colfax. Mr. La Follette
shipped a carload of cherries to New
York and received net returns of
tUUU for the carload. They were
mostly Koyal Anns and kindred vari
eties, hut a few boxes of lilug were
pluood in the oar a an experiment,
These took the New York market by
storm and sold for $.'1.50 per box.
wholesale, at auction. It is said the
fruit retailed at 60 cents per pound.
Mr. La Follette had about 10,000
Doxe or cherries in his orchard this
year and shipped to St. Paul, New
York and other Eastern markets. lie
has not had returns from all of his
shipment yet, but the return so far
received show that the fruit aold for
unusuully good prices and that Wash'
lngton fruit is becoming known and
Is in big demand in the Eastern mar
kets. Mr. La Follette expects net re
turns of from 75 cents to II per box
for his cherries this season. At these
prices this is proving one of the most
profitable kind of fruit that can be
grown on Hnake Hirer.
J. W. Ottleld, who owns an orchard
on the opposite side of the river from
Mr. La Follette' orchard of 200
acres, Is engaging extensively in
grape growing, and ha a youug vine
yard of 15 acres, which is bearing its
llrst crop this year. Mr. Oilield said
"Drapes promise to be one of the best
fruit crops we can grow on the river,
and our location 1 one of the best
grape district in the West. Califor
nia cannot oeat u lor quality nor
yield of grapes. I have planted 15
acres of the best varieties obtainable
and believe that grape growing will
soon lie recognized as one of the best
industries In which we can engage.
Mr. La Follette bad four acre of
grapes, which yielded 2000 boxes last
year, and be sold them for an average
price of 11.25 per box. This is 600
boxes, worth Wi25 per crate. The ex
pense of raising grapes is less than
that of peaches, or several other vari
eties of fruit, and you cau readily see
that there Is a big protlt in the busi
ness. "
The Good Old Way.
A severe cold or attack of la grippe Is
like a fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower It.
Hut few mothers in this age are willing
to do the newaaiiry work required to
give a good old-fusliioned reliable treat

their grandmothers, backed by Hob

ways liberally used In connection with
the home treatment of colds and Is still

Spokane is the latest to abolish the
vertical system of writing, the reason be
ing given that it I too slow. The sys
tem adopted is what is known as the
normal or intermediate slant. It is a
compromise between the old slant style
and the vertical. The angle of the fet
ters is about 15 degrees. In appearance
me new system resembles the vertical.
It combines the legibility of the vertical
with the speed of the slant, and should
give satisfaction The vertical system
was good for legibility, but it is lost in
speed. The old slant systhm was speedy
but it lacked legibility. The new sys
tem is expected to combine the good
point of both.

To Dufur on Augnst 15.
At the invitation of Attorney Jos
eph, of the Ureal Southern. Judg
lMk and Commissioner Stoughton
and lllbbard took a trip over the sev
en mile of road now oomploted
far as the Wlckman plaoo. says The
Dalle Chronicle. Their special car
wa a little flat, but they toll us it was
as good an observation oar as they
ever traveled in and that they got
nne view .or the road. Ninety men
were busily engaged in laying true
and uu lid lug Dridgea beyond.
This short ride gave them a lonulng
to go on, and when they inquired
to when that pleasure could be real
ized, were told that on August 1
they could ride from The Dalles to
Dufur.
me main object or their trip was
to ascertain the purpose of the Ureiit
Southern concerning the oounty road
and their request as to a right of
way over a small piece of the road
leading iuto the city. A plan which
the company i now figuring on la to
branoh off from the U. It. & N. track
at a point were the roads now inter
sect aud to run their track over the
present wagon road into the Jnity,
minding their depot east ot the brew
err, or directly opposite the U. It. i
N. stock yards.
To do this tbey would build about
a half mile of oounty road from the
powder bouse to a point about
third of the distauoe down the brew
ery grade, the road following along
the hillside. The court considered
this a feasible plan, which will no
doubt meet the approval of all as the
present road bas never been satisfac
tory. The depot idea should also be
seconded by Dulles peopjo.

Toot Your Little Tooter.
By Ed. C. Barroll.
if you toot your little tooter and then
lay aside your horn,
In ten short days there's not a soul
will know that you were born;
The man who gathers pumpkins ia the
man who plows ail day,
And the limn who keeps humping is
the man who makes it pay.
The man who advertises with a short
and sudden jerk
I the man who blames the editor be
cause it didn't work;
The man who gets the business bas a
long and steady pull.
And keeps his local paper from day to
day quite full.
He plans bis advertising in a thought
ful sort of way,
And keeps forever at it until be makes
it pay ;
He bas faith in all the future, can
withstand a sudden shock,
And, like the man of scripture, plants
bis business on a rock.
If be can't write good copy, be em
ploys a man who can.
And the other fellow in his line is
classed an "also ran."
You can't fool people always they've
liAAn a l,in,r t ( i,i ik Imrn
And most folks know the man is slow
who tooteth not his horn.
