"Billy" Sunday, tbe baae ball evaogelitt whose oratorical py rotechnics put tbe erstwhile Sam J one in tbe deep abide, buya tbe 0(i,U00 orchard upon wbiob be fecured a verbal option daring bit flying visit bere Tuesday, Hood Kiver bid fair to become a household woid to botb saint and sinner throughout these broad United States, for great ia tbe boosting oapaolty of Rev. billy, and his eloquenoe travela faster than tbe grip germ. Mr. Sunday arrived in town early Tuesday moruing, ferrying over from tbe North Hank rallorad. He wai no com pan led by bit wife, Kev. E. L. House, of Spokane, K. (J. Hanson, Npeolal engineer of tbe North Pacific irrigation project at Kennewick, and b O. Fischer, tbe latter in obarge ot the tig Sunday ohcroa. Ilia daughter Helen and bia three young Bona, dnorge, Hilly, and Paul, went on through to Portland to await their paieuta and attend the big Xueeduy evening rally ta that city. During tbe few brief boura that tbe evnngeliat apent In Hood Kiver be fully demonstrated that bia wbilrwiod methods do not appertain eutlrely to tbe conduct of revivitl campaigns, for be accomplished aa much aa the or dinary visitor doei in three daya. Accomplished by several of tbe rroui Ineut local oitizena the party went out to Van Horn on tbe Mt. Hoed railroad where they were met by Willis Van Horn and driven through the big or chard belts of both the east find west aidea of the valley, making a tboiougb inspection of growing treea ot every age. I he distinguished visitor in formed bimielf on Hood Kiver meth ods of fruit growing and gathered a great deal ot statistical data, asking questions with such rapid tire that it took a committee of tbree or four to auBwer him. On the return trip a stop waa made at tbe new high school, where be addressed the pupils and their purenta before burryiug baok to the hotel to catch tbe 3:05 local foi Portland. Notwithstanding that tbo ronds are muddy, tbe ground covered witb snow and tbe valley nt its very worst in general appearance, Mr. Suudiiy wits charmed witb bia flist view of this famous section and positively stated that he would buy bere and endeavor to spend bis summers in tbe new Ore gon home be has selected. The fact that most strenuous efforts have been made in tbe Spokane, Ya kima, Kennewick and other fruit dis tricts to induce Mr. Sunday to either purchase or aooept fruit lands gratu itously without avail, and that be so uubostatlngly selected Hood Kiver as tbe most attractive locality for a borne and orchard, does not pass with out appreolallon bere. It practically substantiates tbe claim that we have all tbe advantages of other fruit grow ing aeotiona and none of tbeir disad vantages, and private owuoiBhlo of fru't lands here by a man ot the evangelist's tenown will tuen much to tbe'fulure substantial development ot Hood Kiver. It is to be regretted that Kev. Billy could not have given tbe people of Mood Kiver au opportunity to bear one of bia soul Inspiring addresses. Ha is a man among thousands, hav ing a peouliar personality, a wondrous vocabulary, an effervescent spirit, a Nepoleanio will power and a beart that beats for ull humanity. "He has tbe beart of an ox," was tbe expres sion that Or. E. L. House used in de scribing tbe man's generous and char itable disposition. "It is true that be Is very wealthy and tbat be re ceives large sums for bis services, but be supports several missions and does a vast amouut of good witb bis mon ey- . . . J. here are many who do not entirely approve ot oratorical and physical gymnastics in the pulpit, but tbe fact remains that the man who was once so widely known on the baeetall dia mond is capable of reaching all olassea of people, bigb, low, rich and poor. Wlieu be played tall to tbe cheers or thousands of enthusiastic fans be was tbe swiftest runnet tbat ever sprinted to tbe borne plate, holding tbe world's reoord. Now that he preaches aad leotuies to thousands of sinners and doubtful christians, be still evinces tbat came remarkable speed aud baa tbem scurrying in a mad tcramble to put tbe ball over the fence, safe from Satan in the outfield. Kev. Billy does bis own pitching and be does not rescrt to ourves It the man at the bat menus businens. He ia accom panied oa bis tour by a party of ten aBalstsnis, who preach tu overflow meetings, sing, manage bis itinerary, ud make it possible lor him to ad dress multitudes. While In Hood Kiver Tuesday Mr. Sunday reoeived tbe sad intelligence that bis personal assistant, liev. C. P. Pledger, who remained at Skopane because ot illness was in a serious condition and would probably die within tbe next 48 hours. He was much affected at the news and wired Instructions for overy oare and atten tion to be given Mr. Pledger, having Mr. Butler, bia soloist, and several others ot his party remaiu witb tbe aUlioted minister. After tbe big meeting at Portland Tui-sduy night, where be addressed thousands, tbo evangelist and hie remaining party left for California on the midnight train. When the Borlea of meetings there ia finished, be will return to SpringQeld, ill., to fill a similar en gagement. He has work mapped out for all of next year, bis sermons and leotures to be given mostly in tbe east and middle west, but be has fully determined to make his borne la the west end his biotber and sous will run his Oregon orchard while b is on tbe road. Mrs. Sunday, wbo proved a charm ing conversationalist and wbo is a most able publlo skeaker, expressed herself as delighted with Hood Kiver, tbe mountainf, bill and trees appeal ing to ber lo.e ot nature. "It is tbi unly fruit district we have visit ed" she said, "in which I feel tbat 1 would like to make my Dome. Of course we bare koowj what Hood River Is from a oommerolal stand- poiut, but wa did not realize tbat It was snob a beautiful spot. 1 will be anxious to see it in tbe spring and summer." I nloa Service Ibera will be a union service in tbe Christian cburcb, of all of tbe church es in Hood Klvei Friday evening, February 12, to observe tbe 100th an niversary of tbe birtb ot Abraham Lincoln. 1'be general publlo is most oordially invited.

Shelley at San Diego Roswell Sbelley writes tba Stevenson Pioneer as follows; San Diego, Cal., Jan. 23, 1909. Your issue nt tbe 14th Inst, reaohed me this morning and proves a wel ooniu visitor. I get tbe daily Oregon Ian quite Irregularly, for tba leason tbat my address was Sunset Beaoh, Calitornia, up to Deo. lUtb, when we oame bere. 1 am also in receipt of the Hood River (J lacier of the lith. All of tbe papers ara like letters from home. San Diego Is tbe oldest olty in California, and In many reapeota is historic It Is claimed bere tbat it was tbe only city ia SoutLern Cali fornia tbat did uot Bud it necessary to issue scrip during the recent panlo. Real estate is bigb here and is moving. I am Informed tbat dur ing the past two weeks more than fi0,0OU worth of property has ohaug ed bauds. There are 1UO retired army oflloera wbo have hon,es bere. Two sons of Ex-President Urant live bere. Ibey ara wealthy. One ot tbem it building tbe Urant hotel. In the oeuter ot tbe residenoe district of the oity is a park oontaiuing 1100 aores. From tbe northwestern end of tbe oity on Logau Heights (where wa have apartment rooms) wa take tba oar to the southeastern aeotlon ot the pavil ion, aud ride adiatanoe of eight miles for a nickel. It is only 17 miles from the olty to the boundary line , of Old Mexioo, wbiob is the mecoa of most tourists. Then there is Point Louia, La Jolla, southern suburban trips, and tbe Hotel Coronado, nil of which appeals to sight-seers. A guide on the steamship Santa Rosa, ou tbe way bere from Los Angeles furulsbes a lot of free Information concerning these points aa well as a lot of ancient his tory concerning San Diego. But at tbe close of bis lecture be is very so lioitous about your purchasing from him a ticket that will permit vour seeing these wonderful tbio. the small sum ot 11.00. 1 shall visit some of tbem at least, but told tbe gulda J would tike tbem in broken doses. In about tbree weeks we shall return to Los Angeloi, where all roada lead, and tbe remainder- of Jour California stay will probably be at Long Beaoh. In tbe meantime you will oblige me by sending tbe Pioneer to me at 813 Kearny street until furhter notice. We shall return to our Carson borne some time in Marcb. Ro'well Shelley. Special Trains Nalnrday 5'Ibe unusual number of trains going through llood River Saturday caused the regular visitors to tbe depot to get mixed considerably up la tbeir dates. The first irregularity noticed waa a finely equipped train of H coaches, including two diners, whlcb oarried tbe big party of Spokane ex ourslonista on tbeir trip south. But for tbe faot that this train waa ex peeotd to pass through beie at a very early morning hour, a committee from the'Commerolal Club would have been on band to extend Hood River'a greet ings. There were over two hundred business and professional men aud women in the party, coming from Spokane and tbe country contiguous to that city. Tbe exourslon waa given under tbe auspices of tbe Spokane Chamber of Commeroe. Tbeie was much curiosity evinced by all on board when the train pulled up at this station, all seeming to know tblt Is tbe borne of the most famous ap ples in the world, in Portland tbe party was lunched aud dined and banqueted by the Commercial Club with true Portland hospitality, and on leaving for California the entire body of boosters voted Oregon strictly all right. In addition to this train, run in two seotions, tbe trains of tba South ern Paoido which were delayed be low Saoramento by washouts and bad to be brought to Portland by way of Ogden, went whistling through Hood River at most unexpected times, keeping the boys at both ho tels ou tbe jump all day. Mrs. Jas. T. Weart, wbo haa been storm hound at the Mount Hood Hotel since tbe lirst week In January, made the trip to her homestead, "Highland Lodge." tbree miles up tbe mouutaiu east ot Summit Pta tlou, last week, returning to Hood Kiver Friday. Sbe reports tnat there is still a heavy mow ou the ground in tbat district and tlict there was a fall of seveil inohes while she was there. Mrs. Weart has proven a plucky homesteader aud has but one year more to complete tba five year term required by the government for title. Her father, wbo reoently died, owned tbe adjoioiuu qiinrte r section, making ber a magnificent tract of land unequalled In scenic features in this part of he oouutry. When the first heavy fall of snow occurred, witb tbe accompanying bitter cold, sbe bad great difficulty in making ber way down tbe mountain side to tbe borne of neighbors, aud narrowly escaped witb ber life Reason Enthroned Because meat are so tasty they are consumed in gruat excess. This leads to stomach troubles., biliousness and constipation. Revise your diet, let rea ' eon and not a pampered appetite con I trol, then take a few doses of Chamber ' Iain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be well again Try it.
