Every voter must register this year,

The Drngr Store Incident.
Acting under tbe belief that tbj
drug atoiei ot Hood River have beeu
selling liquor as a beverage, and lu
large quantities, Marshal Uanger In
duced parties to gu into tbe stotes
and purchase liquor in bottles, then
promptly bad tbe proprietors ariest
ed. (Jen. S. Miller, of tbe hill, was
the first and be fought tbe case, but
was found guilty and flued 175. Kelr
i, Cass uu 1 husoo & Currin were tbo
two otbet to follow in a few days,
ana mey imia a ana 01 like amount
Opinlou aa in the juatioe In tbe
means of gettlug evidence, la divided
among tbe pruuiiuent citizens. It
appears to be tbe belief tbat tbe law
wus being flagrantly violated by the
drug -tores and tbe city authorities
have been continually taunted with
their iuabllity or unwillingness to
prevent it. To all such have been
giveu the answer tbat proseoution
would result it the evidence could be
obtained.
Krom quiet investigations and in
quiries made from diniuterested pea
1b who bare opportunities to find
out from their nequeut presence in
ana around tut drug stotes, we are of
tbe firm opinion that the law has uot
been flagrantly violated aa many aup
pose. It la true that any sale made
by a drug store without a doctor's
prescription, even if giveu to peisons
to use for the must urgent case of
medUal relief, ia a violation of the
law. It Is true that a great many
families keep whiskey or brandy In
tbe bouse for medlolual purpose and
most of them would prefer to buy it
In a drug store. We do not believe
tbe publio gnnerally are opposed to
drug stores stilling liquor for this
purpose, Ibe selling ot liquor i
beverage, however, belongs to the sa
loon, and should be confined to those
I laces.
A. S. Kelr, of the firm ot Kelr
Cass, stated In an Interview that bis
firm has been endeavoring to live up
10 iua spun ot me jaw ana empnatlc
ally states that 'be store refuses in
variably to sell liquor to persona who
wisn to ouy it lot n e as a beverage
and usually requires a prescription
rrom a pnysiciau in dispensing it
tie may have in a few rare Instances
waived tbe prescription, where he
knew tbe customer well and was as
aured tha' it whs wauted for medicln
ul purposes. This was tbe case with
tbe lady who mads tbe complaint.
bbe was a regular customer of tbe
store and it was taken for giauted
tbat she oould not possibly want tbe
liquor for any other than medical
purposes.
"It is very dlflloult," said Mr
Keir, "to requite a perfectly respect
able mist otner to go to h doctor and
i tty a dollar for a prescription lu
order to gut '25 cents' worth of bran
ly, which will probably last the fam
ily a year for medlcnl purposes and
we really ought to have some legal
protection in sucn cases, such as
reasonable license to sell liquor under
non circumstances. There is a vast
iiirfereuoe between men n case an I
tbut of a drug atore running a 'blind
tiger' o- a 'booze juiut,' aud I wih
oiuphatieally to state tbat 1 think
mat in mis case, aitnough we were
i icbnJoally liublo, we have not had
ry square deal. We would take our
Medicine without a word It the au
t bjrltles oould make a case against
us of selling liquor to any one who
would be likely to use it aa a bever
ge, but in such a case aa (bis we
t hink that tbe efforts of those in au
i hority might well be used in punish

0. K. Castner, fruit - Inspector tor
Wasco county; was prefect at tbo an
nual meeting of the Marion County
Horticultural Ataooiation at Salem
Saturday and addressed the meeting.
Iho Statesman says: ' ' " '
1 Muoh loterest sod a good rouod ot
applause was manifested when tbe
obalrman Introduced Fruit lospeotor
(J. R. Cartoer, ot Wasco county, tbe
home of tbe world famous Hood River
apples. Inasmuch as tbo progressive
fruitgrowers ot otber vicinities sre es
pecially Inorested In tbo Hood River
oonntry, concerning Its adaptability
for apple raising and tbejpbenomenal
suooess of tbe fruitgrowers ot that
oouoty, Fruit Inspector CaatnerU re
mark were eagerly listened to. After
complimenting tbe Marion county
fruit men on some of their splendid
exhibits st the board of trade rooms
ho took up in detail tbo growing ot
an orchard, starting wltb suggestion
tor the looatlon, proper soil aod tbe
drainage thereof.
"All land la not adaptable to frnlt
raising," ho said, "and In tbe selec
tion of a site for an otobard the pros
pective grower abould consider tbe
drainage by all mean. If the land la
not naturally drained it abould be
tiled and the land should not be of
tbo subsoil variety, lo Idaho," be
continued, "where there la a large
amount of this subsoil, most benellt
is derived from blasting, thus loosen
ing op tbe earth lufflolently to allow
the roots of tbe tree plenty ot room
In wbiob to spread out and koouto a
deeper footing. Wbero trees are
plantad on this subsoil tbe roots, not
being able to penetrate tbe bard pan
soil, spread out a foot or two under
tbe surfaoe ot the ground and as a
oonsequenoe tbe tree are frail aod
not apt to produos well.
"In tbo selection or rees tne grow
er should choose tbe varieties wbiob
he Is certain will thrive la bt viola
ity. " Here the speaker mentioned
tbe "King of Tomikina county" and
the "Oraveusteln'' and "Baldwin'
varieties as being especially adapted
to Ma'lnu county. 'The selection of
tree should be made tram tbe best
stock, the best being none too good,'
be ooutloued. "There aie too many
person who,, lo planting trees simply
stick the roots of the treo lu a p.iorly
dug bolo aod oover them np In a bap
htzard way and then leave the tree to
thrive aa best It can, without tbe nec
essary trlmuilng, cultivation aud
spraying, later blaming tbe oountry
because tbey do not bear fruit In a
few years."
He warned tbo prospective grower
against hairy aod ciowu gull routs ou
young nnrsery atook and empbaa.zed
the neoessity of setting tbe trees at
Isast 30 feet apart aud of cutting the
young trees down to thirty Indies so
as to csuse tbe low fcrmatlon of
limbs, mukiug picking in atte" years
muoh eaeinr as well so causing earlier
beariug Mr. Castner strongly dlhap
proved of wbat he called the oi reless
and promiscuous slieiiring ot trees
which method of io-chIIkcI trimming
often proved fatal to ibe beariug qual
Itlea of tbe tree.
In speaking o' pollloizatlon be
strongly recommended Cbtes and said
tbat eaoh orchard should be supple
mented wltb severs! blvea f these
busy workera He advised early oul
tivatioo ot an ..robard to oontlnue up
to tb) latter part of July. He advised
tblunlng the fruit beariug buds to six
Inches apart each season, never all?w
log mote than one apple to tbe bud,
and when the crop has a prospect of
being large tbe buds bould be thin
ned to eight luohei apart, said be.
"In picking tbe fruit should be
bandied like eggs aud should bs piok
ed at sucb time when a greater major
Ity of the fruit la suitable foi four
tier packing as apples of tbia -lze are
the most eugerly souwht after ia the
markets, and" be continued, "apples
should also be graded befote packing
so aa to present a ueater appearauce
lu tbe box."
"In Wasco oouuty," said Mr. Cast
uer, "we spray once for Ban Jose
ciile, using the lime aud sulphur so
lutlon, onos for tbe scab, with tbe
bordeaux mixture, onoe for codling
moth, this latter spraying being tbe
moat important aud thorough, when
eveiy limb and the boHv ot the tiee
should be sprayed Vith a pump uuder
121) pounds pressure. Altogether we
spray aoout live times Sac heason aud
u a result yu per cent nr tne nood
River apple aie free from worms "
lie nrued eaob grower to be sup
plied with a hydrometer, to know the
exact strength or hi spray solution
at all times.
Mr. Castner then nawered several
questions from tbe groweis and waa
again applauded as be tuok bis soat,

NEARLY 12,000
NAMES SECURED
Hon. A. A. Jayue will be tbe sneo-
ial messenger this morning to carrv
to Balem, for tbe filing with tbe Sec
retary ot St ite, tbe petitions for tbe
creation of Hood River county.
wnen it was decided ten days ago
to take up tbe matter of tbe oreatiuu
ot Hood River oouuty before tbe vot
ers of tbe state, by tbe initiative, it
was found tbat it would be necessary
to seoora 7,500 names. It was thought
to be a big task, but last SaturdBv
night It waa fotiud that we had lu the
neighboibood of 12,000 and the woik
ers were called In. Since tbat tlu:e
the work of gathering them in and
seeiug that tbey were properly enti
tled to baa been iu progress and this
morning tbey will be taken to Salem
by epeolal measenger, to insure being
on time and to guard against deUys
in tna man.
Tbe workera met with good results
sod practioally no opposition to ti e
measure, and It would ssem that the
vote on It at the June election should
be favorable.
In Portland over 5,000 names were
seoured. John Leland Henderson
went to The Dalle and seoured over
400, and U. R. Castner returned from
Oregon City and Salem with 1,200,
' Every' property bolder ind' evert'
oitizsu ot tbe state ot Oregon is in
debted to tbs newspaper, the com
mercial bodies, the schools aod tbe
business men foi conducting an a
vertlslng campaign through 1907
which brought 27,215 people to this
state as a result of tbe oolonlat rate
In Marob aod April, September and
October.
! No greater retnrn has ever been ac
hieved as a result of community or
ganization and oo-operatlve advertis
ing. Ibis leoord of 227 people tor
every day for 120 days Is slmost with
out a parallel in tbe blatory ot imml
gration eftott aoywbero in this ooun
try. During tb same months ot 1906
tbs oolonlat rates brought 18,214,
showing the unprecedented Increase
of 9,001 or in round figures 50 per
oent.
Tbs oolonlat rates go Into effect
again on Marob 1st and coutlnue un
til April 30th, and If tbs same ener
getic campaign can be can led coin
1908 even Ibis large influx of new peo
ple oan be inoreased and it is certain
ly worth while.
The oolonlst rates were tho central
feature aruund which tbe 76 bodies
composing Jtbe Oregon Development
League carried on their oamnalgu,
and tha chief credit for tbia result I
given to tbe oewipapers, to whom It
belongs.
The direct benefit of the oolonlat
rate is that It brings people to every
section and builds up the
oountry all around tho towns rather
than increasing tbe population of the'
larger cities. And it baa beeo conclu
sively proteu that immigration oome
to commnoltlss In direct propoition
to tba affort-Mfpeoded by them,
i During tti Rioter months.Jauuary,
February particularly, tbs farmer in
the great middle west (from whence
comes our greatest Immigration) does
bis greatest reading and wo waot to
be sure that be reads tbe story of Or
egon. During the past yesr mote than
five million copies of printed matter
were circulated from tbia state and
In all of these tbe special late ha
been prominent. .
It ba been the constant effort of
tbe Portland Commercial Club in It
correspondence throughout the stats
to Impress npon all tbe people ot Ore
gon tbat tbia low .fare applies to all
points tbe same as to Portland, and
in an advertising tills tsot baa beeo
emphasized.
Immediate organization rbnnld be
commenced everywhere by the com
meroiai bodies and through the
schools. Oregon need no one thing
more tnan additional population.
Present nitt over tbe Harrlman
line are 830 trora Kansas City, St
Paul and all the middle west; 835
from St Louis and Important poiuts
in tee MiDslnelppi Valley ; 838 from
Cbioago; 8o5 from New Vork and ap-
portiouate rate from every portion of
tne uuited States. Ibe rate is 82 50
less to Umatilla and all points east.
