Hood to Van Horn Visit Hiitie, Orchard! ami Mason's Apple House. i'he visit to Hood Kiver of the ex pert agriculturists nod experiment station workers oft he nation, which have been holding their nnuual meet in at Portland, OOOUred Saturday, atid was oue of pleasure and profit to the visitors, as well as pleasure to Hood Klver. They came up tioui Portland In a special tram o ihreu dBy coaches, which were immediately switched to the Alt. Hood road, ami Van Horn station whs reached about eleveu o'clock. Here the party walk ed to the top ot the butte, to the mag' iilfioent rclsdeuo or Willis Van Horn, uud where lbs valley could be teen ou all sides spreading out like a panorama, aud where the snow-capped peaks ot Hood aud Adams added grandeur to the scene. Che ritle ou the train thiough sev eral of the Hue orchards on the Mast Side, gHve them a glimpse of the manner lu wlncli the orchards were ultualsd and caied fur, while a number of Hood Hirer men who ac compauied the putty answered the unmet oua questions i t the guests ana pointed out the various places ot in terost. Nearly eveiy state in the Union was represented by the visitors aud they will go bark to their homes with a hettoriuderstuuding of Hood Kiver methods aud it is hoped will have gained some valuable informs tiou ot the highest art in apple rals lag, They were loud in their praise of the valley, the grand scenery, the well oared for orchards, ti e ine'diods of handling the crop, Dial Beting through the Uuiou, etc. Keturuiug, the guests were set veil with luncheon in the cars by the ladies of St. Mark's Episcopal chimin, alter which a couple of hours were spent around the city before the departure of the train for Portland. 'The trees look well aud the trees show what the uouutiy is. the qual ity of the fruit, the sales and the fruit itself leave uo quest luu or ttie magnificence ot this fruit country," declined uo less an authority than Dr. K K. Wiokson, one of tint most eminent truit experts in the country and for years the diiector of the Oal ifornla agricultural uud eperimeut statioua. "there is a wondeilul amount of development here, and, judging by the chaiacter of the peo ple, there is uo question ot the lulure of ll.iod Riser, I'he people kuow bow to do things and that is most Im portant "1 should want working capital were 1 eugaged in starting a place here. There is always the possibility ot making a livelihood out or small ttuit growing, but 1 think the coun try has developed too far for that now and would not advise a man to at tempt to start an orchard wthout some surplus working capital. Of oourse, It has been done, but only by those who were here ou the ground floor. But as a fruit country for aisiug magnificent apple.-, Hood Kiver will olass with any country kuow of. "One of the reasons of success here is found in the ideal climatic condi tions, a long growing season, rather oool temperature and a cool winter which keeps the trees dormant then. All these things make flue quality and the Oregon fruit, while not as va led in chaiacter as that ot California, is of a finer quality. But it is the climate rather than the soil which gives such flue fruit. 1 never saw tluer looking orchards. The foliage is large, the trees are thrifty and the soil iB well cultivated. They seem to undertsaud their business, and this is certainly a wide-awake and tin illy section. " PiofossorJohn Hamilton, the Fann ers' Institute specialist of the depart meet ot argiculture of Washington, I). C , is peihaps oue man who comes closer iu touch with the farmers them selves in the dilfereut localities than any other man. He said: "the featuie of that enterprise which most Impresses me is the eifial euoy ot the organization of the fruit gruwers that selects only perbct pro ducts for expoit to the Baitem mar aets. My bleief is that If the same uaietul inspection were made of pro ducts grown in other localities there Aould soon be marked improvement in these products and a correspond icg iii lease in their value. I'he high I, rices that the Hood Kiver products i mg in the Kastem markets is prool thai the pouple desire high grade ar licles ol tood for their tables ami thul Lhoy are willing to pay a handsome piotlt to those wlio will furnish them. "1 bare are 10.000 acres of orchard in Hood Kiver now ard only liKJH acres are hearing. If 1000 acres of near lug orchard can make such u stir 1 cannot help thinking what 10,000 .vill do," said In. I nomas I . Hunt, lean of the school of agriculture ami luector of the exiieruneut station at the I'euusvlvauia State Cullfge. Dr. Hunt is one of the Nation's aoceptei authorities ou the subject ot trtii raising, hits win ten widely on the subject of agriculture and tils opinion la givuu with a wide kuowledge ot ttlt ueld. "the Morlhwettem Oregon is mure like the valleys ot Pennsylvania than any other part ot the I m ted Slates 1 have seen, so 1 like it," stat ed Df, Hunt. "Of course Hood Klver sets the standard in the United Slates for the commercial quality of itnules, aud everything in the hast Is euuipared with what Hood Kiver ap dies do. I thought conditions favor able I loin my survey today and 1 feel sure the growers are on ttie light track. But it Is the proximity .'ol Mount rlood which is responsible tor the wonderlul quality ot .Uu Hood Kiver apples. It semis the watti down under the soil, but keeps the atmosphere dry aud cool, aud with that subsoil t ut a tew inches beneath the surlace, full of moisture, it al lows von to raise the apples free ot scab and with a wonderful color, "that is where you have us sto ped. We talk a guod bit about kour Pennsylvania apples, aud nay some day ,have your ideal condtiona yor marketing I hem, ami tie thrill and education lu caring fur them, but we have not those ideal climatic condi tion:, and moisture uudergroud with out t mi " 1 have been impessed with the fact since coming here that the peo ple generally do not make enough noise about their flsb aud timber m dosteries. I'he Kast has no concep tion of the immeuBlty of the lumber itig aud lishiug interests. Many do not been kuow you have Osb out here. " "1 do not think there is any better illustration of the tact that the value ot lands depeuds upon the people who live upon them than hero in Hood Kiver," declared Dr. W. H. Jordan, diiector ot the New York agricultural statiou, at Oeneva, N. V. " signi ficant fact is that the town of Hood Kiver has a University club ot UU i mem hers, all college men. The sue cscs ol the tlood luver apples is due to two things, primarily the attrao ttvenesS of the pioduct, the then the unexampled organization of the tiuit producers. This organization is possible because the area ot pro duction is compact. 1 believe there are sectious of the country where the same intelligent application of the best methods of production aud the jame united co-opetation aud good business methods would produce omewbat com arable results. " "the Hood Klver people, said lr. K. Davenport, have adopted a striking rule, iu that there are tin bad apples allowed to get out of the Hood Kiver valley. We know the Hood h'iver i roil in the Kast, but we did nut kuow this system ot soiling the fruit and keeping up its good reocrd. The locality should be commended for it and encouraged iu it." Dr. Daven port is dean ot the college of agricul ture at the University ot Illinois and director ot the "ex per intent station. He is also jthe author ot an exteu she work on agiiculture aud has s national leputatiou as a soieutitlc in vestigator. "So 0,000 do we think of the Hood River applet," continued Dr. Daven port, "tiuit the Uuivoisity of lliuols is sending two experts, t'rotCBsors Blair and fraud, ill, who will be here in a tew days to make an exhaustive itndy of your system of apple raisiug aud see whether it would be applic able iu the Kast. We have deplor able conditions in the handling and marketing of fruit in Illinois and while ve novel can produce the quality that j ou do here, we Uiiuk we may apply Oregon methods to lllinios aud get better results. Hut the people there lack the piogressiveness ot the West erners, and it will be a diltlcult mat ter to induce them to break away from the old-fashioned methods of fruit raisiug. "You get a beautifully colored fruit here, and the tluish and flavor are Hue. The orchards I saw today were beautifully kept up aud cultivated, and the trees were well cared for. they are all young now and will re quire special care us they get older. Just now the trees me in their prime. "i'he niou here are people who know the fiult business from the bottom. 1'hey are a progressive lot of people, aud uudeistaud there are 108 eoliege men in the club at Hood Kiver. Hut the striking feature is the co-oneration iu boosting the otiutry aud In marketing the fruit. I'hx people here take a broad-miud- ud view of the situation. We will have great trouble iu Illinois in get ting our liu iiiers to allow someone else to piokovoi their trult no matter how much they me told they will Ue iieuelltted. Hut the whole state Is broad-minded here. Take the Port land Commercial tllub. It shows far- lghtedness by developing the com munity as a whole ;aiid not Portland alone. I do not like to say whether a man could come here without capital and keep going on small fruit until his trees hear, as 1 hare not lookeil into the figures on the berries, but it is very clear to me that a man with money cau oome in here and make more money, aud a lot ot it. Just how much working capital he should have 1 would not want to say." I am more pleased with Hood Kiv er than with any oouutry Hnen since leaving New Lnglnnd, .despite u ti ip thiough California," is the.way Dr. 11. J. Wheeler, director of the ithode Island agricultural experiment sta tion, sums up the trip up the vailoy. ' As far as cl I mate and general eon litions are concerned Hood Klver im pressed me very favorably aud as far as I have seen the orchards were well kept up ami the trees look vigorous I paid H cents for some of your apples from nut hero last spring and the prices sometimes reaoh 10 cents. The were good aud stood up well after coming out ot coid storage. They aie attractive en account of the perfeo tiou of the skin, and this comes thiough much spraying and an ideal I imnte. "Wore I buiyng a tract here 1 think would rather buy raw land and de velop it and depend upnu mi nil fruits until the orchard was bearing, rather than pay the large prices for the bear ing orchards. 1 think 1 would do bet tin in buying a bearing mchard than hero but it is a question concerning I he raw land. I have se4i good New Kugland farms sold at from H to $1 an acre, tiut the market conditions aie the worst possible there aud the people do not understand your West eru progressivenoss. What we need back there is to have our young men come west and stay long enough to imbibe some ot the Western spirit. The trouble is they come anil stay You have new methods in the West, while in the Kast we could hardly in duce the people to organize to defeat the middleman, and the products from our cheap laud, while possibly of good quality, would not bring as maofa money to the grower as In Hood nisei. "You raise better fruit here than we can raise in Ohio, " asld Dr. Homei O. Price, dean of the College of Agri culture at the Ohio State University. "Ohio has gieat trult interests hut we have nut devel iped the care ot the orchards or the marketing of the fruit to the extent that the Hood Kiver people have. 1 am impressed more with the splendid system of mar keting the fruit utilized by the grow ers ot this valley, then the uaturtl conditions are splendid and the result is ttie tiest apple orchards 1 have ever seeu.

R0BB1NS BKEALS JAIL FELLS JAILER WITH BIG OAK STICK t:eapes From Dalles Jail In Company With Wilson and Both Cap tured Later. Ceorge Kobbins, the accused mur derer ut 1. online CaBtoe, iu company with C. ft. W ilson, a fellow prisoner, escaped I ruin The Dalles county jail Thursday evening at supper time. I'he uews created some excitement here that evening aud the local police aud oounty officials were arranging to go on a man bunt, when word was reoeived that Kobbins had been cap tured a couple of hours later, although Wilson was not caught until the next day. a Jailer Fitzgerald gives the following account of the alt air in the Chronicle : "I bad taken William Morton, who is serving a sentence in the county jail for sidling intoxicants at Celilo without license, out to let him get some wood. His mother brings him iu delicacies ot ,d liferent Kinds, and, as Morton has shown himself trust worhy 1 usually let him carry in some wood every evening so be cau aook the food. As 1 swung the jail door open to allow Morton to go in, the door was seized by Kobbins and Wilson, tiling back as far as posisble, and the two rushed out, Kobbins bitting me twice, once on the left arm and once on the right temple, with a large oak stick. 1 wns of oourse kucoked down, and as Wllsou passed he gave me a vicious kick iu the side. I his com pletely kuocked me out, and before I could do aujtbiug to preveut them they had got a guu from a drawer in the slier ill's desk aud had gone. "1 rushed to the door of the court house, aud could see the fellows run uiug down Third street toward the car shops. 1 called as loudly as pus .-lid,- tor the people on the street to stop them, but seeing the gun, no one cared to interfere, two young men, Arthur Schiler and Hoy Strom, obaaed them a a little distance, but wheu the lugltivcs saw the young men gaining ou them, Kobbins turned and tired two shots. This stopped the young men aud the prisoners were allowed to escape. "I was wholly unarmed, as the act was of daily occurrence, and 1 never susplcioned that the prisoners woulT attempt to break jail. 1 have been jailer In the Wasco oounty jail for 10 years, aud this Is the first time any thing like this ever occurred. After this, 1 wilt not allow any of the pris oners to go out of the jail, as 1 .bus pect Morton was mixed up in the deal. At auy rate, 1 notloed that he was very slow iu getting through the door." After passing through the oar shops west of The Dalles the fugitives struck for the Columbia where Wilson found a piece of a log raft and put out into the stieam. The point where ho lauded, hbout two miles west ot town was discovered by the officers, tut at last accounts his whereahbouts had uot beeu discovered. Bobbins, run ning along the bank of the liver, came upou several boys swimming. He oalled one to one side, and hand ing him the gun which had been taken i Mini the spur id V office, told him be could tiave the revolver providing he would tell no oue whore be ..got It. I'he boy acuulesed, took the gun, and started toward the oity. On tbe way he met Officer John Crate and Ins party, and on being questioned at first seemed Inclined to say nothing about the affair. Finally, be pro duced tbe gun aud told tbe officer of the whereabouts ot Kobbins. On being dscovered, Kobbins was lu a state of nervous oollapse, so that be could hardly walk to tbe courthouse. X lie officers and citizens In search ot tbe prisoners had gone heavily armed, for it was thought Bobbins, accused ot murder, would become desperate and attempt to sell hia life his life as dearly as possible, the tame mauuer In which be gave him self up was u matter ot wonderment to the offic ers. Kuhbius does not hesitate to lay the blame (or the wnole plot upon Wilson. When questioned by Hberiff hi Ismail after bis capture he de clared Wilson drew him Into it, and was the leader in its exeoutiou. K. R Wilson, the prisoner who broke jail with Oeorge Kobbins. waa oaptured by Sheriff Chiiaman and Kalpb Oiboos Friday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock at Mosier, near the farm ut K. J. Middleswart. When discovered Wilson made uo effort to escape, as tbe officers, not knowing whether he was armed or not, threw their guns on him and crdeicd him to "throw up his bands" which he did without protest. He was immediately manacled and taken to Mosier where he was placed aboard passenger train number six aud brought to Tbe Dalles where he was again placed iu the county jail. The fact that Wilson broke jail and in doing so aasl-ited Ceorge Bobbins, who is under indictment for murder, aggravated Wilson's case so that at the coming sitting of the grand jury bo will doubtless be served with an additional charge, for the conviction of which the minimum punishment is five years in tbe penitentiary. Wilson lays the blame for the jail break upon Kobbins, and Bobbins does not hesitate to say that Wilson was the Instigator and chief aotor in its execution. Wilson talked fieely with the officers. J.
