Apple trees in Oiegou begin baarinu

ten years old often beais teu bimlieli
of marketable fruit, this same fruit Is
freqently sold In carload lots at iU.fiO
and I'lOU a bushel. ' Among the vario
tios raised are Yellow Newton. Spltz-

or Winter Banana, The industry is
cairied on most Intelligently ' iu all
parts of the state. The orchards are
guarded zealously." The growers
stand alitostas a unit ou the question
of spraying, declaring It is the only
means of protection, if tlrst-cusa ap
ples are to be grown.
The highest prioes ever piiil for ap
ples from any orchard lu the United
States was received in 1JK)2 for Hood
Kiver Spitzenbergs aud Newtons. the
former ranging from 12.(30 to fl.OO.
and the latter from 42.25 to C2.5U per
bushel box. The profit ou a box of
Spitzenbergs at this price la about
2.ou. and on Newton fl.W flat. Ap
ple orchards netted their owners in
some instances as high as $500 an acre.
Thequailtyjof the fruit was the finest,
never jbaving been equaled in the his
tory of apple raising. Out of the en
tire shipun-ut of tiJ.OUO boxes there
was not over 5 per cent of these ap
ples that wore not fully up to the hiuh
standard demanded by shippers ot
Hood Kiver fruit. The Spitzenbergs
and Newtons were of especially tine
qusilty, anl none of them were below
four tier, and many of tbom three and
bait and three tier. Four oars of
Hood Kiver Hu Id wins and red Kings
were shipped to Alaska markets in the
fall of l'M, for which the growers re
ceived 11.2.") per box. The apple out

The Hood River strawberry output.
1005, brought the producers about
1175,000. There is scarcely a town lie-
tween the Pact no ocean and the Mis
souri river, Dorth of Arkansas and
Colorado, that is not a consumer of
Hood Kiver strawberries, while ship
ments go to Chicago, New York and
other eastern points, as well as to the
far north. The great care taken in
pioklng, packing and shipping these
berries, together with their wonderful
carrying qualities, has made the friut
famous. From five to twenty acres
is the size of the ranches or farms.
n average acre of itrawberries yield
10 orates each year, and I he land can
be kept in berries tour consecutive
years, which, at an average income of
11.80 per orate, gives the grower an
income of 1277.50 an acre. The cost
of picking aud packing is C5 cents a
orate, or 'J7.50 an acre, leaving 180
tor the laud aud cost of cultivation,
Mulching is not necessary, as the
ground does not freeze bard enough
to do the plants injury.

IT IS NOW
CASCADE AVENUE
NAME OF RIVER STREET CHANGED.
Kuiillne itiislncss Transacted at the
ItffriilarMt etln; of the Couimou
Council Monday Evening.
At the Council meeting Monday
evening the ordinance changing the
u nines of several streets passed its tec
um! reading aud was agaiu referred
back to the committee ou streets and
the city engineer, lite chainnHU of
that committee reported that there
were several requests mado to chauge
the name of Kiver street, as the name
it now bears seems to cast reflection
on the locality iu tho minds of strang
ers, naturally associating the name
within position along the iriver liont
or in a low wet locality. It appearing
to the committee that the reasons tor
the change of uame were sutltoieut,
the change was ordered.
The street committee also reported
that the east eud of Kiver street, or
Cascade Avenue as it uow is, had
been ordered grade I between the Mt.
Hood Hotel and tho depot, aud the
sidewalk continued on the north side
of the street to First stieet. This
wiilbriugtitaoppostte to the new depot
being erected by the Mt. Hood rail
road compauy, the Improvements be
ing made by that.oompany warranting
the stteet being llxod up iu good
shape. It is also important that the
uppearuuee of that locality be improv
ed, as it is the first impression that
strangers get of Hood Kiver.
Complaints coining to the Council
as to the condition of the corral at
Hartley's barn, aud no attempt being
made to i lean, it up and keep it clean,
it was declared a nulsauue and the
marshal ordered to.have it abated.
The tilth from the corral is running;
over the sidewalk, and the odor from
the place can be detected lor a block:
ou either side. The locality Is too
central for a place of thut kind, and
the further use of it as astotl.jnrd will
be prohibited. There have Keen a
bundled head of stock quartered there
of late, aud it is a iniuaoe to health
and a damage lo the adjoiuing prop-
eity.
the marshal reported that the build
ing on the corner of Second aud Oak
street uow occupied by several res
taurauls was iu a ilithy condition, on
account of rains emptying ou the
ground under the floor it was order
ed that the iiuiuiu.ee be i. baled. This
is the property recoutly bought by
Dr. Flint, who intends to tear dowu
the old shacks aud build a new mod
ern brick building ou the site. He la
anxious to get the pieseut tenants to
vacate, but theie being some question
about a lease, nothing has been done.
As connection with tne sewer at tbla ,
time would necessitate duiug it all .
overliigaiulwheu the uewiblook is com
pleted, it probably will uot be done.
lhe marshal was Instructed to noti
fy the Water Company to stop all
leaks , in water mains that are making
mud holes lu the streets, and especial
ly lit the corner ot the llroslus build
ing, where a email stream of water
runs out Into the gutter, making, a
bad place In the street.
The special committee not being
ready to report on the liquor ordi
nance, au adournmeat was taken to
next Monday evening.
Ilalance l'p the Plant Food.
Occasionally oroliurds are found
wbeie nitrogenous elements con
tained iu the soil are so abundant
that they tend to produce vegetative
growth to the disadvantage of fruit
production. Ibis condition can be
remedied to a certain extent by bal
anciug up the plant food. Some of
tl e nitrogen can be taken out through
the agouoy of some cereal crop which
oau be grown on tho soil or proper
proportions can be secured by apply
ing phosphates and potash in the form
of wood ashes or commercial fertiliz
ers. ilicNO two elements encourage
fruit production aud are necessary
when producing the highest qualities
fruit Tho orchard 1st may, therefore,
llnd it to his advantage to use such
fertflizers iu his orchard if his treea
havo been growing too much wood aud
too little tin it.
