Dear Editor--! thought I would drop you a iew lines ana leu you now I found things in my old town. I arrived here the 7th inst. It is somewhat colder weather than we generally have in Hood Kiver. The thermometer was 10 degrees below zero this morning and a cold northwest wind blowing. Our local fruit stand here has Hood River fruit for sale, fancy (165) Jona thans grown by E. Shelley Morgan. They are asking $5 per box. They were well colored but badly affected with dry rot. They also had Ben Davis grown at Zillah, Wash., which were well colored and neatly packed. They were Belling at 1.65 per box. At Minneapolis, Minn., at the Don aldson Glass Block, they have a pure food exhibit including western apples and California oranges. Here I found Hood Kiver Winesaps and Rogue River Yellow Newtowns which were very green and off on color. They were branded extra fancy and some of them had fungus and a great many had limb bruises and the skin broken. They were selling at $3.60 and and $4.00 per box. I asked the clerk, a man who has an orchard at Zillah, Wash., how the western fruit opened up, and he replied by saying that a great deal of it was liks the Yellow Newtowns like we had been looking at, that often these apples were not graded right. Choice fruit was stamped Extra Fancy and marked 80 per box when they contained nearly double that amount. He said that the fruit received from the - Hood River Apple Growers Union was more satis factory than that which was obtained from the various fruit associations. He also stated that they were going to be more careful when purchasing their fruit, for often they received fruit oranded a certain variety and when it was opened it proved to be altogether something else. The people here are very anxious to learn about the West and many are making preparations to go West this Spring. The most of them will visit Hood River and some will probably locate there. I took with me a number of Com mercial Club folders and they have all been given out, and many more would like to have copies of them to read. This country was visited by a severe drouth last year and it looks as if they might have another this year as they didn't receive the usual amount of rain this fall. But very little snow has fallen and consequently they are short on moisture.- The wells are almost dry and the rivers and small streams are very low. 1 expect to be in Hood River about March 1 and will be able to tell you more about the East then. Resp't yours, F. A. Massee. Praises "Better Fruit" One of the handsomest trade papers that come to The News is "Better Fruit," published at Hood River, Ore. It is a model of typographical beauty and contains articles of interest to fruitgrowers all over the country. Chicago Produce News. Merited Praise for Valley. Whoever knows the valley of Hood River admires it." In its beauty of situation, overlooked by the great mountain, and by it and by its lesser neighbors protected, watered by the rapid river and the smaller streams, it does not stand alone among the valleys of Oregon. But so far there is no other of its limited extent so highly improved and cultivated, where so many attractive and prosperous hold ings are to be seen, where small areas of orchard, developed to the full, bring more phenomenal returns. Portland Journal, Editorial. THERE'S NO RISK If This Medicine Does Not . Benefit You Pay Nothing. A physician who made a specialty of stomach troubles, particularly dyspep sia, after years of study perfected the formlua from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made. Our experience with Rexall Dyspep sia Tablets leads us to believe them to be the greatest remedy known for the relief of acute indigestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth ing and healing to the inflamed mem branes of the stomach. They are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive aids known to medicine. The relief they afford is almost immediate. Their use with persistency and regularity for a short time brings about a cessation of the pains caused by stomach dis orders. Rexall Dypsepsia Tablets will insure healthy appetite, aid digestion and promote nutrition. As evidence of our sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tab lets, we ask you to try them at our risk. If they do not give entire satis faction, we will return you the money you paid us for them, without question or formality. They come in three sizes, prices 25 cents, 50 cents and $1. Remember you can obtain them only at-The Rexall Store. C. A. Plath. The Dalles-Dufur Booklet. The cities of The Dalles and Dufur have recently issued an attractive 48 page booklet, under the community plan of the O.-W. R. & N. ,Co., des criptive of the natural resources and scenic beauty of the country surround ing them. The booklet is filled with artistic photographs and well worth a careful study even thouigh it were not replete with valuable information. It is another convincing proof that the citizens of Oregon's Columbia River fruit section are on the job. The city of The Dalles bids fair to have a gratifying growth along manufactur ing lines. The citizens of Dufur, which has a population of only 600, deserve much credit for the part they have taken in assisting their big sister, the county s;at, in the work of publicity. If troubled with indigestion, consti pation, no appetite or feeling billions, Kive Cliainlx-rlnin's Stomach and Liver Tablet a trial and vou will be pleased with the result.

In connection with the baskets being auctioned off, quite a literary program was rendered by our local talent. First on the prgram was a recitation rendered by Miss Evylin Zeek in her usual pleasing manner. Second, and old fashioned spelling match by the pupils of Barrett; and Frankton schools. Prof. Murphy selected twleve of his pupils who promptly challenged the house. The maiority of those selected from the audience were pupils from Frankton. F. H. Isenberg was chosen to take charge of the contest. The spirit of rivalry between the two school dis tricts became very enthusiastic from the beginning. Some of the adult per sons who were chosen to spell were soon relegated to the down and out club and the finish fell on the shoulders of the younger persons. Finally the contest was reduced to four persons, three from Frankton and one from Barrett. Miss Irma Boyce, represent ing Barrett, missed the last word given as had already two on the Frank ton side thus leaving Miss Erma Noble to successfully spell the word and save the day for Frankton. Next on the program was the sermon of Deacon Brown, colored, rendered by our local burnt cork artist, Mr. Oxbor row, who is indeed a past master along this line. Deacon Brown took bo well that the house called him back again and in a fine tone rendered an old south ern plantation lullaby. This was fol lowed by a reading. "Buying the Dress Pattern," well rendered by Mrs. Goss, who kept the house in laughter much of the time. Mr. Staten, the "Worthy Master," called on Messrs. Morse, Robbins and Prof. Murphy. All of these gentlemen fi-we short optimistic talks, which were well "chosen for the occasion. Then Prof. Stubbs, of Frankton, was asked to make a few remarks. His response was that the Frankton con tingency had enjoyed themselves so much and had stayed so late that he felt it was his duty to offer prayer for their safety in trying to reach home at that late hour. Last but not least on the program was the auctioning of the bankets. This little stunt was done in a highly successful manner by Marsh Isenberg. The way he handled those baskets, and the English language as well, was very much to his credit. And say, -tome of the boys voted that if it had not been for the berg ending his name they would have been certain he hailed from Jerusalem. Fight Over County Division. The only opposition to the White Salmon County division ended in a fight today when a committee from White Salmon met a body of Lyle citizens at Lyle. County Commissioner Morganson came to blows with one of the promi nent citizens of Lyle, when it appeared that he was left alone in the opposition and the mass meeting adjourned to the street, where Morganson and his op ponent from Lyle proceeded to throw rocks at one another. The White Salmon committee conced ed the county seat, the naming of the county and three countv commissioners it Lyle would stop all opposition, and it was after this that the fight started because of the inability of the opposi tion to agree among themselves. Commissioner Morganson is not named as one of the commissoners for the new county and has proceedad to lead the opposition. Oregonian. Will have German Wives. The bachelors of the Big Bend country near Spokane, Washington, will have their choice of imported wives in a few weeks, when Eugene Beck, a farmer of the big witeat district, one of their members, returns from Luxemburg, Germany, where he has gone for a supply of eligible girls.

Addresses Fruitgrowers. The meeting of the Fruitgrowers As sociation Saturday night, February 11. was held in the Woodmen lodge rooms in the Standard building. Trose who attended were very well entertained by L. A. E. Clark, of Hood River, and by C. C. Paine with some good instruc tion in the matter of pruning. Mr. Clark has pruned the Page orchard for two years and has had a great deal of experience in that work at Hood River and elsewhere. He expressed himself as very much surprised at the growth the trees in the Page orchard made last year. His talk was greatly enjoyed by all who were present. Stanfield Standard.
