Terms of Bubscriptloii-l.M a year when paid in advance. Hood Rier won tha oiual number of pitZM last week at Iba meeting of tbe State U. rUoultorsl Socletj at I'ortland. Ibern were plenty of "Ore goo Api'les" on display and In com petition, bat Hood Rler, uwl, waa In claw ly UeJf. Ont of aaaaon and wben no fair ii in sight tbeie are many oommunitlei wbo claim to grow applet "aa good aa Hood Rlter," bat wben tbe real tost comet of getting tbe prloea for tbem In open market, ot winning prize wben in competi tion with Hood River, tbey do not make good. It baa been deolded by a deoiiion of tbe iapieme Coart that tbe three mill tax cannot be collected by the ooanty from clt.lea having a aeoial road dlalrict of tbeir own. Bach a t baa been collected from tbe city of Hood River by Waaoo county for a Dumber of yeaia and but a portion of it returned in tbe ibape ot work on atreet within tbe city limit. The three mill tax tbla year will amount to about $2,000. It la probable that tbe city council will take over tb eaat aide giade load in the city limiti and demand that tbe whole amount of tbia apeclal tax be returned to tbe city. Ooanty Uommlealoner Uibbard ha made the statement that tbe coun ty court I willing to do thi volun tarily, if the city will take over and maintain tbe road. Tbe meeting of the Oregon Prea AMOoiation, or the State Editorial Aaioolation of Oreogn. a It la now called, at Portland laat week, wa th moat successful in year. Owing to tbe untiring effort of the offlore elected at tbe meeting at Seaside In AnguH, especially by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, a good turnout wa had there wa life .to , tbe meeting and a determination to get result. Ii make tbe awooiatoo ot value to tbe preaa of tbe state and rMpeoted by tbe public, it need tbe inpport of the entire list of editor of tbe state aa members. A strong legislative committee baa been appointed to se cure legislation tbat will compel tbe publishing ot public notloes and mat tors that require publicity for the protection of tbe public. Counties will be organized among tbe newspa pers for tbe purpose of correcting abuses and unbusiness like methods of the profession, to exchange ideas and work to tbe oommon good. Hood River is to make another at tempt for oounty division whereby it can obtain self government Ibis time it will be bv the initiative. Tbe repeated defeats in the legislature ol former years, due to opposition from Tbe Dalles, have not intimidated oar people in the least, nor caused them to give up tbe fight. On the oontrary it has intensified tbe feeling of ani mosity towards The Dalles, whiob can only be removed by a change ot front on the part oWhe oounty seat. It is said that there is now a material change "Ja sentiment at Tbe Dalles and tbat the new move.will not be op posed by them. It is hoped that such is the case, In view of future business and social lelatlon between the two pluces. It will be to tbe ad vantage of botb cities tbat harmony should exist, if possible, However, it will take all '.he energy ot an army of worker to seoure tbe necessary number of names to tbe petition and everyone should help. Bee that your name goes on tbe .petition, if you are a legal voter, and luduce your neigh boi to sign. Hood Klver Wen en Merit. Tbe awards made at tbe exhibit of apples at the Horticultural Society lant week at Portland was made with every safnguard of fairness to tbe exhibitors. A committee wasseleoted to prepare tbe apples for exhibition. by covering up all names and signs on the boxes by whlob they might be recognized, tha apples from the differ ent plaoes being mixed together and then tbe judges were called to tbe ball by telephone. Tbey were tben conducted to tue room and looked In, tbeie being no opportunity to com munloate with any of the exhibitors. or to tell whose apples they were Judging. Wben tbe result was an nouuoed it was found tbat Hood River had taken fifteen out of tbe six teen prizes (or which she ooutestid. losing out only ou tbe Wtuesaps, for wblob variety no particular atteutinn it paid by Hood River, and we lost out In tbla variety only ou pack, whlob was not up to standard. Medford had an exhibit which was furnished, it is understood, by the Commercial Club at tbat olace and who presumably bad tbe pick oi tbe eutire Medrord country. (July tbree growers from uooa Klver were re pre sented. aud eaoh brought his own an pies and did not select tbe b st from bis neighbors. Wbile Medtord Is to be commended for a really tine exhibit and tbe Will- innette valley did herself proud iu tbe way ot exhibits, yet tbey were not able to score agaiust Uood JKlver. The Horticultural Soolety has made the following schedule of awards for next year, with the conditions aa set forth.

S. fsgdjogloo had takeo passage for Vladivostok, and on whicb were a shipment of Hood Rivet apples for Vladivostok, ibe letter Is as follows: From 12 noon Ilea 2.1 to tbe 25th inst. the following events occurred A storm from esst-soutbesst in creased into a hurricane, a liigb sea following steadily higher, sod to ward 2 In the afteinoon we were un able to steer our course any more and we bad to beave to and go half speed. Two skylights of tbe engine room were blown open, and wbile we were trying to shot tbem our quartet mas ter, Woah Ka Wong, was blown clnan overboard. We i mediately threw overboard to turn a .if e-belt, but ow log to tbe high aea and wind, It wat quite impoasible to stop tbe tbip or turn ber around. So we were unable to do anything more to aave him. Towarda 1 o'clock In tbe afternoon an Iron bar abaokle of tbe steering gear broke. We stopped the eogines and ordtied alt hands on deck. Tbe Chinese crew would not come on deck even wben tbieatened with a revolver. and all remained cooped up in the toreoastle There wa a tremendous toroe from aidu to aide on tbe rndder and we tiled at once to make fast with tackles which broke. The cap tain, oHioers and engineer fien got a 614 'ion Manila rope and wove around tbe quadrant like a tackle and man aged to get tbe handgear Into work ing order, and tbe moment after this, said geai and Manila rope broke di rectly behind it and again tbe rudder started to bit from one side to anotb er. We tried again, but with no better result. We then gut a 'A Incb steel hawser and wore tbe same like tackle round the quadrant on botb sides and tben onto the steam wluob and tbla was successful in holding tbe rudder, whirl, we put a' out 25 to starboard and tbeu started tbe en. glues slow, half, full, a was oeoessa. ly to keep tbe ship to the sea. During all the time we were work ing (eft the ship wa lying wltb a ter rible sea breaking over botb ber lides. Ibe forward starboaid lifeboat was bioken clean from her lashing and buried agaiust tbe wheel-house, star ing In galley stove-pipe and damaging tbe boat. Tbe aft starboard lifeboat wa broken looae from it damp and tbe stsuohlon bolts were wrenobed from tbe deck and tbe plank opeued up. Tbe aft port lifeboat wat foroed with it clamps toward the inside; tbe side-light shelves, botb port and starboard, were washed away. Great volumes of water poured Into 'he stokehole through tbe grating and In to tbe engine room through tbe brok en skylight. In tbe oke bole tbe floor plate were washed up by tbe water and we bad to put out tbe Ore iu tbe port lurnaoe. ibe b lges In stokehole and engine room were full to tbe top wltb water, ashes and ooal. so tbat tbe pumps could not work, a tbe suouou pice were blocked up. With great difficulty could we keep steam In tbe starboard boiler. Tbe ship took a gieat list to pott, as tbe cargo shipped oonsiueraniy. Wben tbe iron bar for tbe steering gear was repaired by the machinist and tbe abaokle renewed we wore tour-roped taekel to relieve tbe strain and took off the ateel hawser from tbe quadrant, and we kept the ship In tbe ea at slow speed. The storm oontin ued and tbe wind veered around to tbe southeast and we steamed with one boiler aotith-aoutbwest by tbe compass. In the tunnel was tbree feet of watar. To get tbe ship a little straight again we started to trim the ooal from port to starboard with all bands. Towards 12 noon of tbe 21th tbe storm quieted a little. We opened a batch and trimmed the oargo from port to starboard. Largo on 'Xneen No. 1 was moved to port. Towards 5 o'olook tbe ship wa a little bit straightened, wbile we only used the ooal In tbe port bunker. Wben we opened No. 1 batch a lit tle water was ooming Into the bold. Toward 8 o'clock we opened No. hatch and trimmed tbe oargo troro port to starboard. Tbe ship was now about 40 over to port. The water In stokehole and engine was belug pumped out very slowly. Jo Nos. 3 Aud bilges there was 3-lnob walls. Through tbe great lolling and pltob ing of tbe ship tbe decks opeued out and we saw little water iu No. 3 'tween decks, but tbe hatobes, wheu taken off, weie quite dry. Ibe steer ing gear again broke dowu on tbe 21th: the bar repaiied, agalu breaking Iu tbe same plaoe. We repaired by 3:30, substituting wire hawser for the broken bar. Tbe same day, 0:30 in tbe evening, tbe steering gear again broke, this time a link In the aft chain tartiug. Ibis we repaired by 12:30 a. m. You cannot Imagine the terrible suspense iu wbloh we were during tbe time we weie drifting at tbe meroy of the angry sea an experleuce I hope uevei to repeat. Any mrment might have been our last. Tbe captain, offi cers and engineer showed great cour age and coolneaa In those trying times, in striklog contrast to the dis graceful oowaidloe of the Chinese crew, and it waa simply owing to tbe untiring effort of tbe former that tbe ship escaped with ao comparatively slight damage. Ho terrible wa tb j sea that tbe cap tain ordered oil to be poured on tbe wave in tbe hope o. breaking tbe toice ot tbem, but owing to tbe exces sive rolling and pitching ut the ship but little effect wa notioed.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM OLD MEXICO Mexico City, Mexloo, Jan. 10, 1908, tiuitor Ulaoler : When I started from boine on De cember 12, 1 Intended writing at dif ferent places on my journey, but it seem a If one' time is fully occu pled, If not in light teeing or travel lug, in restiug so here we are at our journey's ond, outward bound.

After re mainlng few days looking up old trlenda we moved on to Han Hands co. Dear oid San Cranolsoo. It would be utterly impossible for me to describe tbe ruin and devasta tion on every aide that mets votn sight, no matter whiob way you look or what car line you go out on. The city bsll still stands as tbe earthquake lett It, partly demolished, we could only stand and gaze In astonishment and wondei, to tee bow a -tiembling of tbe earth oould so completely de stroy so laige and appareu;iy well constructed building; but tbe tremble tbat time 1 guess was a bard one, Many laige and costly bulidiugs aie under course of construction, others are being repaired, almost retou struoted, yet to me San Franoiaoo seems to have before it an almost end less tak befoie it oan, literally snoak inn, be on its feet again, yet In more ways than one I: seems tbe same city ot old, full of bustle and bustle, the people on pleasure bent. Hotel ao commodation were good and reason able.

Of natural scenery they oaunot boast, but to tbem "climate" has been moie tbau indulgeut. On Januaiy 1, 11)08, we attended tbe Aunual Hoae Carnival at Pusadi un.

Ihe trip was not a very Interesting one, belug through a div ert, non-pioduoing region About the only thing of interest was the great inland Saltou sea, covering acres aud sores of what was a few year ag. .Ins ert or grazing lands. Tbe body of water is something or r 300 miles long, don't know bow wide, and f om 90 to 100 feet deep Iu part of It, the whter ooming from tbe in flow of the Colo rado river, whose onrse was changed by some irrigating company, which waa dammed up and broke through.

At Juuitz we had to be Inspected, hag aud baggage at the custom house, which was really a gbt worth seeing. Such crowd ot tbe real poor Mexloaiis, or "Peons" as tbey are called here, were being sent by the government Is tbe interior of tbe republic to work and lira tbls winter. Tbey were orowded in cars like cattle and of course eaoh and every one bad a bundle to be gone through by a cus tom officer to make sure tbey did net muggle aome little American article across the line. . Wben tbe officers at last got to tbe trunk baggage ot tbe passengers it wa really a uosinito see what tbe offloeis brongbt forth from trunk trying to be smuggled over. Prom one trunk even a ivddy bear was hauled out. At last Inspec tion was over and we stalled on our journey through a dry, dusty appar ently deseit country. Still hey claim where white people are getting told ot tbe land and putting it under cult ivation and water bat it is very pro ductive.: For my pat t 1 tbink they earn all tbey get. The second day r e passed through a better section, i.ftt-r testing Ttrreou, a city of 40,000 ou pie. but many of tbem being a low clasb of Mexican and Indian mixture, we saw ootton, grain and corn field, aud occasionally a cotton if 1 11 and cement factory.
