COMPLIMENTS FOR
HOOD RIVER
I'rom several letter? received recent
ly tioro ntruii(jra and othurs who
know of Hood Kiver, we glean tho
following :
win. Mo.'Iurruy write! :
Mr. K. L. Suiltb, Hood Kiver, Urn.
Dour Kir: Kinoe tbe visit of Mi
Ivy L. Lee, of tbe publicity firm of
I'arker & Le, New York, at whloh
time we saw Hood Rivei and Its at
tractions under your splendid guid
ance, Mr. Lee is now getting out
ignite a lot of duta in regard to lloua
l!iver and Oregon.
When tbe new pbamplet appeared I
tank tbe liberty of sending blm one
and I am in reooipt of a letter from
I) I in dated New York, November 27tb,
from wbiob i quote:
"My Dear Mr. MoMurray:
I was very rauob pleased tbis nioru
Inji to get the pamphlet in regard to
Hood Klvei. I have been talking
Hood Kiver to all my friends ever
muoe I came baok from the west and I
have been buying Hood Kiver apples
lit a great rate and giving them away
j nut to let people see what you pro
duce out ther-. The more I think of
my western trip tbe more Oiegon rla-
n in my mtud as one of tbe greatest
t tales that ever hiippened. I should
twry much like to go out there and
l.uy a farm.''
Dr. J. O. Dai lea writes W. F. Lata
v.hv from iiolae, Idaho:
"Accept my thinks for the very
lietiutiful illustrated clroular of your
town and oountry. It Is a very com
uienduble production and highly com
plimentary to your progressive oltl
zmiMhip. Vou certainly have them alt
"ikinned" in red apples and straw
harries, and while yon raise fruit
Hiete will always be a demand for it, "
Mr. Liiraway also received tbe fol
lowing from C. K. iiutllngton, from
tbe same plaoe:
"I received yoiK Hood River on
ti.ipui. While it la flue as oould be
made, it does not do tbe valley justice
from my velwpoiut, but tbe day and
tbe associations may have helped me
to see its beauty."
0. D. MkUowuo sends Chas. Hay
ward from Ashland, a circular setting
forth tbe faot of his having opened up
point shop and wall paper store, in
which the following appears: "Cbas.

W, L. Dykes, of Ottumwa, Iowa,
wines Dr. i. (Jooper aa follows:
"1 understand your best grade of

i no luxuries ot Hie aud almost beyond
tii pocket books of tbe most of us.
I . epite of tbe high prices tbe fruit
h n lieou ot a very inferior quality,
j. 'iierully speaking."
pie i, some of tbe enterprising apple
raisers of Hood Kiver, with L. 11.
Sbepard and Joseph Wilson aa lead
ers, made a display at tbe same time
ot Hood River apples. Un tbe start
some of the Willamette Valloy grow
ers felt that the Hood River folks
would have promoted good feeling by
refraining from making their exhibit,
but the more they thought tbe matter
over the more they realized that tbe
double show in Portland at tbe same
time tended to enobance tbe reputa
tion of Oregon appiea and that In fact
tbe Hood Kiver growers, la making
their display ot fruit, bad done tbe
very best thing which could occur.
The Hood tiivei folks sheeifully ad
mitted that Hood River bad never
made a handsomer display of appiea
and the Willamette growers bad no
occasion to feel ashamed of their dis
play In oomparlson, nor to fear that
tbe apples of this valley were going to
suffer in reputation because the op
portunity for comparison with tbe
Hood River product waa offered. It
would have beeu unfortunate tor the
Willamette Valley growera if tbe op
portunity had not existed for compar
ison of their owu apples with the fin
est product of Hood River. It pre
vented spectators from saying, "Ibis
looks very nice, but bov would it
look alongside of a li.t of Hood River
apples?" Moreover, it showed some
of tbe Willamette Valley growers bow-
neoeasary It is to lose uo opportunity
tor advertising.
The display made by the Hood Riv
er folks was carefully studied out and
waa arranged to tell its story in the
most effective way. A peculiarly
striking device was a box made of
plate glass, wbl ;h contained four-tier
Spitzenberg apples. The paoking of
this box was a triumph of tbe pack
er's art. There ia no elasticity about
plate glass, aud yet the box waa Oiled
exactly and snugly in every particu
lar with unwrapped apples. Every ap
ple had to be ot the same size, and iu
addition to this all were of the same
snade of color. Oregon Agriculturist.

The Hood River Display.
Aware of tbe fact that tbe Willnm
ette Valley apple show would attract
much attention aud turn the attention
Ol tbe publio for the time being to ap
Money Flowing West.
One of tbe certain lesults of the
preseut (lnauclal stringency will be a
superabundance of mouey on the Pa
ciflo coast, it was, in fact, a auiplus
of money that hrought tbe western
banks Into a condition which made
them victims of f-e Wall street panic.
Everybody on tbe coast bad money
and theie were too few borrowers in
tbla part of the country. Tbe baoki
loaned tbeii mouey and depositors'
money in the east, aud when the de
positors took a uotlou that they want
ed it, not all of it could be had on
short notice. Hut the banks are get
ting it back again and eventually U
will all be on tbe coai-t again, in
creased by the returns from tbis
year's orops. Then confidence will bo
completely restored and there will bo
more money that people will know
what to do with. More than this,
most of what the coast has to sell U
in tbe foini of necessaries while much
ot what it buys in the east Is in tbe
form of luxuries. This financial strin
gency has made the people more cau
tious aud they will be careful about
spending money. The purchase ot
necessaries will go on just the same
sa usual, b it there will be a decrease
in the purohaBe of luxuries. This will
be to tbe advantage ot tbe ooast aud
ken more money at borne.
There are a great many people In
Oregon who have been predicting n
shrinkage In values, particularly real
estate values, as a result ot tbe mon
ey stringency, but they ate doomed
to disappoiutmeut. We shall see n
repetition of the experience of 11)05.
It whs then said, "Wait until after
the Lewis and Clark fair and there
will be a rlump In values and you can
pick up property for a song," Rut
tbe slump did not come, for the lea
eon that everybody wauted to buy
leal estate. People who have been
gradually drawing their money out of
tbe bauks or who wish to do so will
be bunting for an investment in tbe
next fw months. The bauks will
luve more money thau thev can loan
Hud they will hesitate about semilog
it east again. In tbe absence ot a bet
ter subject ot Investment there will
lie a strong demand tor real property.
It the coast were a debtor part of toe
country and labored uuder the neoea
sity ot seudiug mouey east, the situa
tion would be much ;ditterent, but it
is clear to every one tbat we shall
have more money three months from
now, and six months from now, thau
ever before. Wall street panica may
rome aud go aud iu the passing may
cause some temporary inconvenience
in tbe productive and developing
west, but thev will not materially
affect legitimate real estate invest j
ments on the PaoiUo coaBt. Oregon-

A SCRAP OF PAPER.
It Was the Meant of Bringing a Mur
dsrer to Justle.
Scraps of paper have on several oc
casions been tbe means of throwing a
light on some of the greatest criminal
mysteries of modern tlmea. Had It
not been for the minutest scrap of
tissue paper It la quite possible that
the notorious Franz Muller would have
remained a free man to the end of hie
days.
After foully murdering a Mr. Briggs
in a railway carriage on the North
Londou line Muller made off with his
victim's bat WThen caught several
months later a top but declared to be
Mr. Briggs' was found Iu his posses
sion. Its shape, however, had been
tonslderably altered, and Muller In
sisted that the hat had been bought by
himself.
Waa It Mr. briggs" hat?
"If It la Mr. Briggs' hat," said the
hatter who supplied him, "you may
find a piece of tissue paper In the lin
ing. Mr. Briggs' hat was too large for
him, ao I put the paper In to make it
fit"
When the lining was turned down a
scrap of paper -which had adhered to
the leather was discovered. Muller
had a bigger head than Mr. Briggs and
had therefore resolved to take the pa
per out. He left that little bit, how
ever, sufficient to establish the identity
of the hat beyond all question as that
Mr. Briggs was wearing when he was
murdered.
Thla Is only one instance among
many where bits of paper hare solved
great mysteries. London Answers.
Effect of Whlttla on Rattlesnakes.
"Should you ever encounter a rattle
snake and be show fight just begin to
whistle softly and tbe reptile will un
coil and lay with his eyes closed and .'
body quivering," said a Teunesseean. I
"On more than one occasion I have
run across rattlesnakes und have al-.
ways taken the fight out of them by '
whistling. The snake seems to become
absolutely helpless when be hears a
soft whistle find will make no attempt
i to spring iipou you. This whistle np- i
! pears to soothe his anger and robs htm
of fighting power. I saved my life ou
: one occuslon In this manner. Try It
and you'll find that 1 tell the truth."-
Nashville Tenuesseean.
Value of a Constitution.
It happened In the spring of 1860,
when Garibaldi was pursuing his expe
dition In Sicily and when the words
"Constitution and Liberty" .were on ev
ery Neapolitan's lips. "Why are you so
anxious for a constitution?" asked
foreign tourist of his guide and donkey
driver while they were traveling
through the mountains of Sorrento.
"Well, you see, your excellency," was
the answer, "because I think we shall
be all the better for It It Is now close
upon twenty years that I am letting
out my asses to visitors from all coun
triesEnglish, French, Americans. AH
of these have a constitution, and they
are all rich."
What, IndoedT
A duchess requiring a lady's maid
had an Interview with one, to whom,
after having examined her appearance,
she said, "Of course you will be able
to dress my hair for me?"
"Oh, yes," replied the girl; "It never
takes me more than half an hour to
dress a lady's hair."
"Half an hour, my child I" exclaimed
the duchess In accents of terror. "And
what on earth, then, should I be able
to do with myself all the remainder of
the morning?' puudee Advertiser.

Arms and the Tax.
There are sufficient people In Eng
land and Scotland paying the annual
tax Imposed by the inland revenue up
on the use of armorial bearings to pro
duce a sum of $350,000 each year. The
great bulk of this sum Is paid by peo
ple who care not an atom either about
their family of their arms, but.pay the
tax regularly Bimply because they have
carriages or plate hcraldlcally decorat
ed. The really old families of the
realm, however, use armorial emblems
for decorative purposes to an extent
almost Incredible in the eyes of those
familiar with them only on note paper,
