IN iiw RAILROAD YARO . Monday evening about 7 o'clock au extra freight ran into a regular freight in the lower end of the railroad yards, mashing up the engiue and caboose and delaying the east bound passenger trains until 4 o'clock the next morn ing. Itjappears that the extra was run ningboul 30 niinutes behind the reg ular at Menominee, and pullod into Hood River 20 milea ao hour. It is strictly against the rales for a train to ran fnto railroad jrijrdS .of impor tant stations at a high rate of speed. and especially freight trains. It seems all the more inexcusable for the extra to take chatices on a clear track, wbon they bait reason to believe that the regular would be switching here per haps for an hour, and would in all probability fee oocupiug the main; track. ; A,oure Jn the road near the yard limits makes itstirl more hazard out. " . Turner, the engjueei of the extra, came suddenly upon the' rear end of j the regular when lie rounded the curve jusj below the yards, and when be saw that a collision Wa$ inevitable, he blew the wbiiitle. applied ' the brakes and jumped. ' He escaped uninjured.

The Worst l'eat In Hood River. The Hood Kiver distriot presents to the eve of a stranger a beautiul pic ture and more so it lie nappeus 10 oonie from a prairie oountiy.

The one deplorable pest that vou have iu your midst is mi abuu dauce ot knockers, in justice to tne firm that were iiistrum. ntHl m bung ing me here and to the many loyal citizens that I have met, 1 will give an accurate account ot my first four davs' experience in your mius , so that a remedy can bo found to kill off this sicklv nest. Bein.! desirous of seeing as much of the country as possible and hungry for knowledge, 1 sought tne acquaintance of those from whom 1 thought I could learn something. You have au abundance or cnair warmers that hang around the street corners and iu the hotel lobbies who are worse than old women gossipers when it comes to creating trouble. II it wasn't for the many reliable citi zona who gladly prove the lie before it takes root. 1 am frank to admit that these fellows would do your eommun itv an awful injustice. One in par ticular ban a wonderful vocabulary for knockiuu. His advice is not to have anvthini; to do with real estate men, but upon investigation l nmi tnat ne has been trving to sell real estate as a curb-stoner for many years, but it has never been proveu that ho ever put up dollar to advertise tbe resources oi the country or has been instrumental in brini. nn auvoue hero, r.veiy tiling that anvone else has to sell is either too hiirh or is not tit to grow beans. but "he is prenared to snow you i alneo that beats auyttiing iu me vai ley." thut can bo bought for a song and probably less.

Ready to Handle Strawberries We have been shipping strawberries for a few days and are already getting back re turns which are very satisfactory. Our first crate sold for f 1.0.0S net here, and we have already entered on our books standing orders from nearly 100 customers and more coming in every mail. What we want now is first class berries with which to satisfy all these customers. II we do not get the berries to ship the people will order from other sections, but all prefer Hood Kiver berries if they can get them. These orders come as the result of long acquaintance, extensive advertising and correspondence and care in shipping just what our customers want. In quoting prices to growers, we are very conservative, and wane uuote exactly as the returns will come back, we prefer quo. ing under rather than over and then have our returns come fully up to or above EVKR SEEN IN OKEOON It sounds good to the grower to he told that lie will get , .uc. or .fi.ou per vniw moie for his berries than what conditions warrant , but it Hurts him wnen ne gei-s a cneciv wr half of what he was promised when he got his receipt ior the berries.

Our theory is that if 10 crates of berries, with "some culls" mixed in, are worth $1.25 per crate, bring $12.50, and it costs about 75c. per crate for picking, packing and d livering, making $7.50, it leaves a, profit ot $.t.00. '1 he same day five crates of ttrst class berries, worth $2.00 per crate, bring $10.00; costing 75e. for picking, etc., or 13.75, leaving a profit of $0.25, which is $1 .2. more than t he 10 crates with tne cuus in were worth, and you have the five crates ot culls lelt to sell to the cannery as a pront oflc. per pouud above cost of picking, or 'Mi' per crate, which is $1.80, making the total profit on the ten crates, half first class and halt culls, packed separately, $8.05, or $3.05 more than when packed tegether. It t he live crates oi nrst class uerrics oniy brought $1.40 per crate the net results are five cents better for the grower than if the ten crates are j lacked together and bring $1 .25 per cra t e.
