Mot by noisy deiiioutitratioug or gundy banners or big parades, music and BpeochmukiuK, but through a dis play of unstinted liberality and hospi tality. Exactly 8000 flue apples were tliveu away, and there is do eloquenoe that reaches exposition crowds quite so readily or quite no fully as do pres ( ntj of Hue fruit. it had been intended to hold exer cises at the Wasco county booth, and h program had been preparod, but at the last moment this was done away with in order to expedite the distri bution of famed Hood River apples. From 11 a. in. until well along in the afternoon three attendants were busy handing out apples. The crowd that claimed this ottering was built on the order of a phalanx. No sooner would the front of the line drop out burden ed with apples than others would im mediately take their place. The dis tribution was supervised by E, L. Smith and E. V. Shepard of Hood River. While the excursion was organized by the Hood River Commercial club, every citizen of the place and every resident uf Hood River valley seemed to consider himself a part of the pro motion committee. For many days past the coming day at the fair has been the prime topio of conversation. And it was not all talk, for people up Hood River way have a commendable pride in their section of the globe, and thus the greatest excursion of the exposition was organized. While a goodly percentage of the visitors came from the town, the at tendance from the country was heavy. At daylight yesterday morning the roads leading to Hood River were lllled with conveyances of every des cription. There wore buggies, lum bering farm wagons, saddle horses and carts, all bearing their burdens of loyal humanity. A few determined ones came on foot. The O. R. & N. company made them a liberal rate about euough to pay for axlegrease and the conductor's salary. The tirst excursion train was lllled quickly, leaving a multitude to follow later. Mauy of the visitors returned borne on the evening trains,although a large number remained over for today and Portland day.

About GO miles east of Portland and eloping from the north tide of Mount Hood to the Columbia river is a valley lyiug on both sides of Hood river. that has gained world wide reputation on account of its fruit, particularly its apples and strawberries. A quarter of a century ago its inhabitants were few; now they number several thou sa ds, and there is no more prosper ous, conteuted community iu the country. The early settlers there dis covered that the soil and climate were particularly adapted to the raising of these fruits, others went in there and joined the pioneers in this occupation, and now scores of carloads of straw berries are shipped from there every summer, while the Hood River apples are celebated not only in all large American cities, but in Europe and aoross the Pacific, bringing, it is said, the highest price paid for apples in the world. Ouoe an orchard is iu bearing it is a very profitable, frequently netting the growers $200 or $300 an acre annu ally and occasionally much more than this. Other products can be and are raised there ; the soil is rich, timber and water are plentiful ; a few acres is all that a man needs to support a family ; aud there is room there for thousands more. It has been estimat ed that not more than one-tenth the area of Hood River valley is yet fully utilized. The stream of that name and others furnish abundant water power, and there is no reason why this remarkable valley should not in time contain 25,000 or 30,000 people, of which a due proportion will be in-1 habitants of the flourishing city of Hood Kiver. while western Oregon produces fine apples and other fruits the climate is not such as to give them the delightful tart flavor that makes Hood River and southern Oregon fruits famous, Apple raising is a growing industry in Oregon, and will become a very profitable one, and Hood River valley will continue to be a leading and favorite region in which to pursue this pleasant aud pioUtablu occupation. This is Hood River day at the Lewis and Clark exposition, and the good people of that town and val ley are here in force. They are not deterred by a little rain ; they are used to that ; and they are properly proud of their products, which, especially the big red apples, are much in evi dence. - Eastern people will all, we hope, have an opportunity to test this delicious fiuit, and having done so, it is safe to say that they will agree that these apple 8 cannot be excelled. The people of Hood River, though most of them own comparatively small tracts of land, are thrifty, prosperous aud progressive. They comprise a wide awake community such as the whole state can point to with pride and pleasure. They have helped to make the fair a success, aud we nope tuey will enjoy it and proilt by it. MR.
