HOOD0BIVER GLACIEB, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1906. RHODE ISLAND HEARS ABOUT OUR APPLES We are tii receipt of the following communication from the Portland Chamber of Commerce which will probably be of interest to our readers: Provideuee, R. I., Feb. 7, 100C. Ji. u. uoiron,- Manager, - . 310 Chamber of Commerce Portland Oregon. . My dear Coltoa : 1 take, this first opportunity since receiving your let ter to thank yon for t tie kind expres sions contained therein. I have done a good deal of booming for the Hood River apples, and I hope some day to convince my friends here In .Little Knody that Oregon pro duoes the finest fruit in the worl-. 1 would not have believed it myself had I not sampled the same at the Port- lund Fair. This is the first year that I have no ticed the Oregon apples on sale in this market. Tboy are bringing from GO to 75 cents a dozen. Colorado apples. very Leuutiful to look at, but uot as Due a lluvor as the Hood Kiver apples, are selling irotn aa o ou cents per dozen in toe open markets here at present. Sinoerely your friend, George M. Parks, Manager Massachusetts Life Ins.' Co, byIhiTway "Stop Your Paper." Almost all newspapers have had ex perience with the subscriber that takes offense at something published in its columns, and commands you to "stop the paper," but the following from tne Spokane Outburst Is unusu ally good : "One day a susbcriber met Col. Partiok Jlonry Winston, editor of Wisuton's Weekly, ou the street, and, with sorrow in his voics and tears in his eyes iuforined him that be must withdraw his munificent support of ?2 per year, owing to an article wnlcb met with his disapproval. 'Do you see that man across the street?' asked the colonel. 'Yes,' came the reply. 'Well, when you quit he'll subscribe. You may go to h , eab !'."' The Seattle Republican thinks. however, it has more than its share of such commands. A colored subscriber wants bis paper stopped because "it has nothing iu it." A white subscrib er orders bis paper discontinued be cause "it has too much colored news in it." So, between the two, the fi nancier has the devil's own time to keep things going. Exchange. Against the Use of Profanity. "Within a very few years a man who uses profane language in any place or under any circumstances, will be looked upon as a back number and au outcast from good (society, " said W. R. Lett, secretary of the Anti-Profanity Society of the World, who ar rived in the city this afternoon from Walla Walla. For the past tw o years this sooiety whose mission is to discourage the use of evil and piofuneluugiiag , has made wonderful progress in all parts of the Northwest and now has active socie ties in most of the largor cities where profanity in all its forms is frowned down and discouraged. The i Ihu of the society is to organ ize a small club iu each city aud then begin a perpiste t campaign asgainst profanity, especially iu public places and iu the presence-of, women and children. in many of the leading cities hotel keepers, restaurant keepers, theatre managers, street car companies and others have agreed to post noticea in their places that profane language will not be allowed. It has home excellent results and in places whore profanity was the rule it is now the very rare exception. A society will be started in this city and a persistent campaign started against the use of profane language in publio places and ou the streets. "1 have beard more profanity in the presence of women and children on the streets of Pendleton than in any city I have ever visited," said Mr. Lott this afternoon. "I heard loafers in front of saloons use the most unrepeatable stulf this morning while a crowd of young girls was passing directly in front of the place, aud no one seemed to pay liny attention to it, while it horrilled me to think of this teriible condition. ' In St. Lonis a city ordinance was recently parsed prohibiting the use of profanity on the streets and one po liceman was arrested the first day the order went into ett'eot.. Mr. Lett says that nine men out of ten who use profane language admit that it is silly aud nonsensical and utterly useless, aud most of tbera are ashamed of it when their attention is culled to it. East Oregouiau. . The IUk Rabbit Hunt. The big rabbit hunt at Blalock Is; land is thus. described by the Fast Or egon ian: None but thoso versed in the use of a shotgun were allowed in the ranks as the danger from inexperience aud carelessness was too great. It was fi nally narrowed down to about 60 men, and these were divided into three companies, commanded by J. II. Pe digo of Walla Wallu, captain of Co. A ; James B. Blulock of Arlington, cap tain of Co. li; aud Judd Fish of The Dulles, captain of Co. C. These 60 men were turther subdivid ed into squads of about seven each, to insure a better aud more thorough organization aud one which could be more easily handled. The Pendletou boys were command ed by C. J. Ferguson. F. F. Hume son of Weston acted as another lieu tenant of Co. C. Rules aud regulations were adopted governing the actions of those on the tiring line and all were obliged to agree to obey their officers before the hunt comemenced. Two mounted Hold marshals direct ed the course of the hunt and Dr. N. O. Blalock with his amDulance corps of two nurses aud emergency cases fol lowed in a wagon. Three other wag ons followed the line to pick up the dead rabbits, while those not ou the firing line came uloug in the rear. After deploying' the. line of -skirmishers with a distance of about 30 feet betweeu each man, the word was given to advance aud commence, firing. At Hrst the occasional crack of the tingle gun was heard, but this soon swelled ii.to a roar as the rabbits commenced to appear. "Don't get up iu front of the line; keep back!" was at first theory of the busy officers as they endeavored to restrain their now excited huntsmen. Commands not found in any manual of arms, such as "Here, you fellow with the blue pants; don't shoot In any direction but straight ahead I" and "Say you, with the pump gun; keep that muzzle elevated and not pointing along the fine!" , These and i milar orders were shouted intermit e ntly and as a result of this work on be part of the chosen officers not an accident was reported. The island was covered thoroughly and hundrelsof rabbits were gathered into the Rugous. One lone coyote was routed and soon finished by a volley from a dozen or more guns that were instantly trained on him. After covering the went half of the island all returned to the house where the barbecue was spread and enjoyed by the hungry soldiers who had low ered about eight miles since break fast. After dinner the east half of the is land was covered in the same careful manner and by evening, tired aud hungry hunters were scattered around the Island bouse dUcussiug the events of the day while waiting for their trains. As the hour of departure arrived the "Island Queen" gathered aboard the satisfied and weary huntsmen and deposited them at the siding at Coyote to await the train. Three cheers were given for Dr. N. O. Blalock and bis assistants before the crowd broke up, in an effort to express tbo gratitude felt by those present. WILL GO INTO TRUCK GARDENING BUSINESS J. II. Koberg, who has been engaged in the dairying business for a time, has decided to go out of that busi ness and take up truck farming. Mr. Koberg has a number of aores of very fine bottom land in a oove on bis Elace adjacent to the river, and it is is Intention to irrigate it and set out six acres in asparagus, besides several acres of celery, melons, etc. A reservoir will be constructed near the river, from which a trench will be dug, all.iwing the water to run into it. . The laud to be used for this purpose is low enough so as to allow the water to run into the reservoir by gravity. From the reservoir wate' will be pumped ou to his truck garden with the use of a gasoline engine and ceutrifugal pump as it is needed. The pump will have a capacity equal to 10 inches and the outfit will very mate rially lesseu the oost of irrigating the land iu any other way. - The lau I is well adapted for this purpose, being protected and the soil rich. As there is a bout landing on Mr. Koberg 's place, he will have no difficulty in marketiug bis croduce andean ship it out as desindeach day. The new etatiou at Biugen will be locatod almost opposite Mr. Ko berg's place, and will furnish him with another shipping point. Admires Hood River Spirit. If La Grande could only be tt.oi ougbly consecrated to the Hood I. her spirit! We do need a revivul nlong this lino. If every citizen in La Grande aud Grande Ronde valley was as enthusiastic aud us loyal to this country as the Hood River citizens (his valley would increase in popula tion by at least 5,000 during this veiy year. Hood River is everlastingly at it, in season aud out of season. They are regular perennials. We admire their spirit. It is the spirit that builds homes aud industries. If Hood River with their spirit bad such a country to back it as Grande Ronde valley there is no telling what they might do.

McEWEN A KOSKEY, Commission Merchants, 129 Front street. Portland, Ore, Over-Burdened Women. Many a man sees his wife band and tng at burdens that strain the back and the heart alike, without any Idea of th outrage. Children follow In too quick succession to allow the mother time to recuperate. The womanly organs become displaced, there a re debilUMInfr, disagree able drains, with the added pain ot In flamed or ulceratd parts. In this condi tion the woman bravely tries to carry her household load, afraid to take the rest she needs lest a meal will be late. No wonder she is pale, weak, wretched, surly of temper and snappish of tongue. She would be false to nature If she were any thing else. No persons need help so much as the class of whom this woman is the type. And for such women no help Is so sure, so wonderful, as that given by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It re stores all the womanly organs to perfoct health. It establishes regularity In their functions. It restores the strained and shattered nervous system. It clears up the complexion, rounds out the form and makes life a dally happiness. "Favorite Prescription contains no alcohol or whisky. It Is the best medicine for women. Nothing can be "just as good" as the best Tell the dealer so If he offers a substitute. "I wrote to you In 1W2, about my cms," writes Mrs. Ella W. Robbtnson, of Nuttree. Va. " Ws then in a bad condition, snd jrour rwly vis that I probably Inherited tb trouble from my mother, and you prescribed Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Prescription. About that time I had an attack ot fever and was sick for quite a while, so failed to ret your Prescription.' In December following was married and then my husband bniurht nietwo bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prmrrlptkm. Before I began to take it I bad bearing-down pains at monthly periods, aim diziy spells. After 1 had taken one bottle 1 felt better aud bad no more pains. After taking the second bottle felt belter than ever in my life, and In September save birth to a twelve-pound baby girl, i am very thankful for your good medicine, and shall tell my friends what It did for me. and Bhall recommend It to all who are affllrted.
