The White Salmon ferry men are very busy these days. The railroad camp which have been established on this side ol the river at White Sal mon, Iiingen and Underwood are the cause of this. There will be no chickens hatched nt White Salmon next summer and bggs will be scarcer than ever. So much blasting will be going on that the chickens will be scared to death before they come out of the shell. Mrs. W. C.

Tlii.-i little village is in a very active condition and grouipg exceedingly fast. The number of inhabitants are few, but lire tip-to-date, enterpris ing, industrious citizens.

Ant guest visiting this Cottage hotel will leave le-ling that they have received full value tor their money. Miss Elsie Underwood who has charge of the dining room, will do ber best to please and wait upc the guests at the table. A now temple cf wisdom was fin ished the other day in the shape of magnificent tchooi house for the size ol this village or neighborhood. It demonstrates the high n:ubitious and liherlity of the miuds of the people who seem to believe education is more useful than religion for no church ex i Is in this neighborhood. A tbous .:! dollar schoi.l hou.-e speaks volumes li.r this small commuuity. It is a credit to the people and the teacher and scholars are pioud of it. It was built under the mauHgemeut of Mr. Lutl.y and it is will arranged aud ta.-telolly finished aud paiuted aud II .11-bed inside and out, fitted up with thfj lutest improved desk for each tel. iars and teacher, and the com munity is pleased with Mr. Luthy's work, who has given full value for the thousand dollars entrusted into bjs care. School opened Monday, No vember 13. Mr. Cromwell, the teach or, and the students wore a smile up on their faces that demonstrated a happy state of mind. Monday the news was circulated around that two elders, missionaries of the Morruou church of the Brig bamite factiou, wcujd speak lu tbe school house in tbe eveniug, the two gentlemen came along, but few peo pie came to hear them. Will Underwood is busy making ready to build a blacksmith shop which will be another blessing to the community, saving time and labor to the fruit growers when they want work doue.wbloh Will can do for them ana loon we 11 see. Beneath the spreading pinet and flra a vmage imitney stands Who pouuda the iron Into curve Squares, and circular bands, And aoon we'll hear the anvil ring Ana its ecno among tbe rook And see the perspiration roll from Beneath the amitbey'a curly locks, Contractors are busy getting ready to blast rock, making the road bed nearly to tbe river.

Piles are now ready and waiting tor tne pile driver to oome along and drive them into the earth on which a dock will be erected riirht iw This will add another blessing to tbe community wbicn will be appreciated Dy ail. At the beginning of this month a money order department was added to our postotfloe, which all are grateful lor. Our much esteemed and worthy postmasters and general storekeepers are having a floor put in above the ware bouse, which will make fine room in which the natives, both young ana oia can enjoy a social dance or hold meetings, etc. Mr. Smith is stocking up bis store with the com- moi neoessarles of life and the people are beginning to realize that they oan buy goods as good from him and as reasonable as going elsewhere, for nis cosiness principles are based tip- on the principle of "live and let live. " Every where around about we bear the stump pullers working and con tinually hear the bang of exploding powder, telling us that something is moving. Old time stumps must give up and make room lor tbe more pro fltable tilling of the soil. Where once the pines or the scrub oak held away we see the apple or peaob tree grow ing, and I want to tell you that apples do grow lu this neighborhood. Some were measured the other day which are now in the store. One Baldwin measured one way W4 inches and the other way, 13U ; another Hxl3Vi ; Belflowers l;!',,lx'2. The Baldwins weighed between. 17 and 18 ounces each, Belltlowers about 15 ounces each, grown by Messrs Keely A Du Boise.

We received a letter last week from A. A. Graham, tbe erstwhile newsboy of Hood River. He left Hood River for Seattle, Wash., some time ago with the hope of obtaining relief from rheumatism, but bis anticipations were not realized, and the ailment ap parteutly went from bad to worse. His next move was a sea vogyae to Los Angeles, Cal. He reports a very satisfactory improvement. He' ex presses considerable rerget at having to leavn Oregon, and states tbat he nteuds to return when bis ciroum- ttauces are favorable. Mrs. Gould experienced a stroke of paralysis ou Monday. At the time of writing her condition is somewhat better. We are not Informed in re gaid to tbe intensity of her aliiiotion. Tbe school in this district became so badly crowded tbat it was fouud necessary to employ an assistant teacher. Miss Chef on of Tbe Dalles was assigned to tbe position. I have made two visits to the Crapper school during tbe present term, i have in tbe last titty years visited a great many sonools. of various grades' in different parts of tbe United States, but 1 bave never seen a more quiet. orderly school for one in wbiob there appeared to exist a greater degree of harmony and good feeling- between teachers and pupils. Miss Phillips appeared to have her work well in hand, and all seemed to be'-doiog good work. V- ' WEST CRAPPER You saw me talking with E. L. Smith last Friday. I asked him if be could say anything for West Crapper. "Yes," said be, "I was out to Crap per scboolbouse to church, and 1 said there tbat you and all the foot bills conld raise tbe finest apples any wbei , and you bad some of tbe best ol fruit land," eta Why, be gave this section more praise than I my self could do. He said tbe foothill appl s for keeping qualities surpassed all the le t of ti e vi lley. "Tbe east tide, too, is g.ii g to be wonderful, when you get to taking better oarejof your orcbaids. " Then, he jutly scored us for not doing so. He says we can't combine every kind of farm ing with fiuit raising and make it a success. I hope Mr. Smith will give us a little more if the latter, for we certainly need it. 1 will take my share for the take of getting some of my neighbois stiried np a little. 1 got a silver medal for tbree boxes of apples at the Lewi's an I Clark fair, and have a faint idea tMl bave ad interest in a gojd one for Plate epples, W. have bad a One rain aod plow ing has begun again, 3. H. Shoemaker made a abort visit in this neighborhood 8unday last and talked water a little. It looked at tbat time as though winter bad set lu aud we would not bave any more good weather before spring. X do not suppose it was that that brought bin out. He was pot quite so oertaln m was Mr. Sberlb when we were signing petitions and votiug. bonds, but we think tbey will get a going more live ly soon. Tbe assistant school teacher, Miss Cbapin, from Tbe Dalies started in to work yesterday morning, and the children came home smiling, so we predict a success. Mrs. Gould was taken very sick yes terday. Nursery Trees.
