RUSHING ROAD TO COMPLETION All right of way matters for the Mount Hood Railroad have beeu straightened up out of court. Con tractors lleibiseb A Joplin have a force of 10 men driving piling around the Winans point, and if the truss bridge spanning the river is complet ed by December 1, rail laying will be gin then, the weather permitting. "It is very proper 1 tbiDk that any information concerning the road should be given yon by President Eccles, " remarked Mr. Early to a (lacier reporter who called at the oltiee of the railroad company Tues day morning," but as Mr. Eccles promised to make a statement today, and was unexpectedly culled East, he has authorized me to act. "lirietly, 1 will say, that right of way matters are practically all closed and all work iu connection with the road progressing nicely. Good weather is what we want now. Material, with the exception of a couple of cars of iron for the Howe truss bridge across Hood River, is on the grouud for the construction of the road to where it intersects the grade ou the East Side of Hood River. Once there, the worst is over. "All that it is possible to do to hasten the day when the road will be in operation, will be done. Mr. Kccles purchased some time ago . one Shay and two ISaldwiu locomotives, which are at hand now. The Shay, a twenty-ton engine, will be used perhaps in construction work, and then pi ceil on logging roads exclu sively. The other engiues, with empty tenders, weigh bi-,(HKI pounds each, and are for use on main line. , "Freight and passenger business we can assure yon will he very carefully looked after. It will be the purpose of our company to build up the town of Hood River as well as to further the interests of the valley. We want to see every acre of available land producing tho big red apple or what ever other product it is best adapted to. "The mill of the Oregon Lumber Company will be moved later on to' a new site ou road. We have under construction at this time a new mill somewhat larger than the one here, capacity of which will be mater ally greater. Mr. Eccles has given this new mill proposition very careful at tention and promises that it will be ore of the best. "Extension of the road iuto Mount Hood country? Please pass tha' until wo have our present road finished. They certainly have a territory that will give a good account or itsell later in fact it is doing it today. 1 would only toy iu this connection that the very friendly spirit they have shown us at all times is certain ly appreciated.

They have about 20 acres cleared and the most of it set to orchard, and are cleariug more land. Mr. (iiay, who bought the Rich mond place this summer, is making many improvements, having his brother in charge of the place, and la doing considerable cleariug, which will be set out to orchard in the spring. He had some very tine melons and crn this year, in addition to ap ples and other fruit. Miss Lesaie Farmer bought 40 acres of the Huckabay place recently and will improve it next spring. F. W. Lutkemeire is improving bis homestead south of China Hill. J. S. Harbison, while not exactly a Portland man, might be a ded to the list of Willamette valley people who are booomlng interested in the Mount Hood country and bringing in capital to improve it. Mr. Harbison bought a part of the Robert McKamey place, and intends to im rove it next year. Hut Few Are Free. Rut few ienple are entirely free from indigestion at this season of the year.

I a i.L r Mr. and Mrs. flu ounui m Pine Flat, who are to leave khoitly for their new home In Hood River, were agreeably surprised last Thurs day mor iug, about 10 o'clock, when the good people of Plue Flat came trooping iuto tboir home until there whs hardly room for more. The visitors had with them the many good things which the fair sex are oapable of preparing for an old fashioned dinner. In few hours din ner was auuounoed, and a most ex cellent dinner it was. One could not wish for better. After relieving the table of a large portion of its coutenta, the party re tired to tne sitting room for a social hour. The men folks discussed the best varieties of fruit for a paying orchard, and the best method of cul tivation, etc., until a late hour, when tho visitors departed, regietti-g to give up Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but wishing them an enjoyable time in their new home in Hood River. Money In Bnerre d'AnJou Pears. That there la money In an orchard of liuerre d'Anjou pears in Hood River is evidenced by E. Locke, who received 502.25 for the product of 30 trees, the fruit of which whs market ed in New York last month. A. C. Staten received a check for 97.50 for the fruit from i Beurre d'Aujou pear trees. Mr. Locke's or chard of Beurre d'Anjous is the only commercial pear orchard of this va riety in the valley but he has demon strated that this variety does well here, and other farmera will doubtless be setting more extensively to pears in the next few years.

The prosperity of any community depends largely upon the men that form a part of that community. One of the first of Portland's busi ness men to take an active interest iu the att'iiirs of Mount Hood whs Mr. (J. C. Rulf, who owns a giocery store ut tith stroet. Mr. Rulf purchased what is known as the Fouts place two vent's ago. and has since then steadily improved it, and now has about 40 . -I ..1 it Ill 111 acres are now in apples, half of which- nre in toll bearing. Last year Mr. Unit's apples netted him a good round -urn and this year be will have about KM boxes. He ha only two acres of tnuvberries and these netted him an average of 2.08 1-2 a crate. Mr. Ruff will plant 1" acres of Newtown and Spitzeuberg apples in the spring and will continue to clear his land until he has HO acres in orchard. London Jk Powers, who purchased the Nasou pliice, are clearing their place at a rapid rate. The old orchard on this place, of which there is only an acre and a half is more heavily loaded with apples thHn any orchard iiloug the road fiom Hood River to Cloud Cup Inn. This orchard also has the highest elevation of any bear ing orchard in the Mount Hood dis tiict, and the one tbiug to lie noticed in particular is thiit it was not hurt with the fro. t this year. They plant ed five aores in orchard last spring and they Iihvj the ground leady now upon which to plant 10 acres more next spring. They are euclosing this with an eight-wire circular fence, the posts flj by 6 finches in diameter have been sawed at the mill and treat ed with carbolineum to prevent decay, after which they were painted, jon- l lo iq.t.le " im- vi ry U".e this c,.r. i lid 1 ! i K'i S! b!'' pi itc-i. i il ' ;: 1: i n in . e i ilii'.gs sett!. : i i t !,,.. t nil iiio.if Ii'. t!
