A letter received last week by Mrs. W. J. iiaker from Geo. H. Himes, as sistant secretary and curator of the Oregon Agricultural Society, brings out the fact that the Hood River Val ley's first trees were set out a number of years before the Civil War. M Himes, writing from Portland, said: "Accept my thanks for the letter you wrote, which appeared in the Gla cier of yesterday, relating to the early commercial orchards in Hood River Valley. 1 know what you say is sub stantially true, as with Mr. S, F. lilythe 1 went through the orchards you mention in 18S8. I think the Bradford you mention was 1'. F. in stead of W. H. 1 here were three of the Bradford brothers whom ! knew well, Daniel F., Putnam F., and Allen G. ; and 1 know that Putnam F. Btarted a commercial ot chard in Hood River Valley. tie formerly had a prune orchard near this city. There were a number of small oichards in Hood River Valley prior to 25 years ago, among them several devoted to peach raising; but none that could be strictly classed as a commercial orchard in any true sense. W. P. Watson raised a little fruit on the Coe place, and the first trees on that place were set out in 1858 or '59, as 1 was informed many years ago. But all such cases were for the purpose of family use, in my judgement. Perhaps you can ascertain who set out the first orchard for family purposes in Hood River Valley. 1 can not tell, but believe it was Nathaniel Coe, father of Capt. H. C. Coe. 1 shall have occasion to write to Capt. Coe, in Southern California, in a short time, and then 1 will ask him about it." Dalles Pioneer Buried. The funeral of the late Andrew W. Lane, who died at the home of his son, L. L. Lane, Thursday, was held Mon day afternoon. Mr. Lane was 8 years of age, having been born in Fountain county, Indiana, February 11, 1830. He crossed the plains to Oregon in 1853, locating first near Salem, but later moved to Linn county, and en gaged in wagon making in Harrisburg. From Harrisburg he went to Spring field, Lane county, living there until 187K, since when he has made his home with his son in The Dalles. Mr. Lane was father of 13 children, six of whom are living.

Two for the Price of One ONE Box Roxford Mission Letter Paper Free with a box of Initial Stationery at the Regular Price SOc Carl A. Plath, DRUGGIST The 'RoXCxML Store LER0Y ARMSTRONG DE PICTS LOCAL SCENES One of the most interesting stories in the March number of the Sunset Magazine is "Hagar's Son" written by LeRoy Armstrong. Mr. Armstroig has taken for the "motif" of his story ihe benefits that would be .derived from the building of the Columbia River boulevard. The entertaining descriptions of the bit of fiction are true to the wonderful scenery of the Columbia and all Hood Kiver people are familiar with it. The plot ot the story attracts the reaner as ne progresses and creates a sympathy. A son of Hagar, whose father has left to him a long narrow strip along the Columbia river, iso lated and uncultivable, after receiving the news of the will and its provisions to the effect that he must live on it for five years to acquire title, leaves bis Indiana home, and builds himself a home on the mountainous tract. The father has given to each of the half brothers and legitimate sons a section of fertile fruit land to the east of the narrow strip. While entertain ing three hunters, who happen upon his self built home, among the crags, but with one of the most wonderful views in the world, the suggestion of a road, to connect the east and west of the continent, is dropped. lshmael visits the Valley town. He buys pro visions from the half brothers, wno will trade with him but who will nut take his hand. Later he unfolds to them his plan of the road. He is re fused support. A woman, a sister of one of the hunters, who is wealttiy, hears or him and becomes interested and by her aid the road is completed at once. Ismael and the woman marry. In speaking of Mr. Armstrong and the story the Sunday Orcgonian said : "That the construction of 20 miles of road over the Cascades, connecting the present road from Hood Kiver to their base with the roau constructed to Sandy, in Multnomah county, would comprise one of the most important undertakings in that part of the state is the opinion of LeRoy Armstrong, of Hood River, who was in Portland yes terday. "Mr. Armstrong considers that if this stretch of road were in operation Oregon would have not only one of the linost scenic highways in the country, hut one that would attract tourists from all sections. Mr. Armstrong is an enthusiast on the subject of good roads and has embodied his idea in a story which appears in the March number of the Sunset mugazine. In this I'tory lshmael Isherwood conceives the idea of constructing such a high way and succeeds in interesting a rich woman in the enterprise. Thj scenes depicted are true to the Columbia River country."
