The Cottage Farm is the official title
of the resort, however, it is most gen
erally known as Mrs. Howe's. It is no
infrequent occurrence for a stranger in
the city to alight from one of the O.
W K & N. Co. trains and inquire the
way to Mrs. Howe's. And one of
Hood River county's most progressive
citizens is a woman, Mrs. Alma L.
Huwc, a wee bit of a woman, who,
thoii!h the problems of life she has
faced have been ditlicult, has faced
them with a courage that strong men
.;ht .-nw. and who bv her personal-
it., 0.,,! t..r.Hcitv of nurnose has built
a c.m.lrv hotel that is known
throughout the northwest. Especially
is Mrs. Howe s place wen kiiuwh m
Portland, for every year hundreds of
tired and ill people come from that city
to spend a tew weeks at the quiet
farm home in the midst of the splendor
of the apple valley, the towering peak
of Mount Hood looming up on the
south and the snow white cap of Mount
Adams ever in view across the Colum
bia on clear days.
'lhe Commercial club has been urg
ing the building of a tourist hotel here.
The Cottage Farm place may be
pointed out as an example of the suc
cess an institution of that kind mav
enjoy in this region. However, every
(,ne would not have made the success
that Mrs. Howe has made. She did
not begin her hostelry on any preten
tious scale. It was small in the be
ginning and has grown into the present
dimensions. Mrs. Howe now has ac
comodations for a half hundred guests.
In addition to her main house she has
a number of collages grouped around,
and in these smaller places the chil
dren stay when families with children
are guests at the larm.
Mrs. Howe came to lioou Kiver.su
years ago last January. She purchased
40 acres of land, partly timbered, a
mile and a half from the present town
site, which at that time was not laid
out. The region was sparsely settled
by early pioneers and homesteaders
who eked out a Dare living; ior me
profits from orchards was undreamed
of. A few Indiansjhad their wigwams
and dugouts along the Columbia and
on the hanks of the Hood river. Mrs.
Howe had had a training as a nurse
and she was a "Little Doctor," when
ever any one of her neighbors was ail
ing, indeed, nut lew 01 me pioneer
families have not known the touch of
her sympathetic hand in time of sick
ness and trouble. She and Dr. liar
rett. for whom a large portion of the
West Side community has been named,
attended the sick of the early days.
And Mrs. Howe became a little mother
to the Indians. When they ailed she
visited their camps and applied reme
dies to relieve their pains. For many
vears an old Indian woman named Nel
lie was an occupant or tier nome, uniu
her death. The red children of the
forests came to her with all of their
little nettv ills and troubles, and, hu
manitarian that she is, she listened to
their confessions and so advised them
that she has won their unending love
and respect.
Mrs. Howe has been ill in bed for the
past six weeks suffering from a ner
vous attack. Indeed, throughout her
life, because ot her hard :tasks and
delicate and refined nature, she has
been harassed'at intervals by attacks
of nerves, as she savs. During the re
cent'illness old Indian George has been
a daily caller, inquiring after her
health. "Is it a big sick?" he always
asks, and daily he performs some an
cient Indian rite that he may bring her
relief.
Mrs. Howe's first home in the Hood
River valley was also the first Hood
River valley school house, a little
building 17x21 feet. It stood on the
Helniont road near the present Ordway
place, and was moved, when Mrs
Howe purchased it, to the present site
where it now forms a part of her coun
try hotel. Ranching was not prolitabi
in the early days ; for the irrigation
ditches had not been built and without
water the crops that were grown were
often poor. Mrs. J. L. Henderson, the
mother of I.ouis A. Henderson, the
present city treasurer, was the first
teacher in the old school house.
Mrs. Howe soon found, however, that
so unprofitable was here ranch in the
early days that she removed to Port
land, where she became actively en
gaged as a trained nurse. With her
earning she was able to pay for he
place. Iwentv acres of this tract were
sold later, and in lX;i! Mrs. Howe con
ceived the idea of establishing a coun
try hotel, not only for the profit she
would derive from it out because she
would thus be enabled to relieve the
suffering of people who desired just a
place of quiet in the country.
Since she first entered the venture,
the place has been added to and im
proved each year. It is not a preten
tious place, but in the quiet shade of
its fruit trees or in the shadow of the
giant evergreens that rear themselves
in the hack yard, one can rest and
dream, and if iiiling, get well. Scores
of little children are brought from the
city eitolrtiuinmer and spend the heated
days there in the cool retreat, playing
in the sand pits arranged for them.
Thomas l.awson was a visitor at Mrs.
Howe's year before last. He was tie
lighted with the quiet and privacy ot
the hostelry. His son in-law and daugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCnll, were
there last summer.
The houses are surrounded by (lower
ing shrubs that blossom from the first
spring days until late autumn. Mrs.
Howe has protected the birds and they
have come to make their homes in her
grounds. Numerous littlo gaudy hum
ming birds dart among the (lowers and
fight battles with the bumble bees that
come to steal the honey from the (low
ers of which they think thetnelves the
sole owners.
Mrs. Howe has become prominent in
local civic matters. She has always
been known for her charity and no
needy family ever goes in want during
me winter mourns 11 sue nmis out their
condition. She is a member of the
city school board, which during her ill
ness has met at her home.
Mrs. Howe declares that much of her
success has been due to the aid of her
daughter, who now for the most part
has active charge of the Cottage Farm.
Miss Hester Howe is a graduate of the
local high school and spent two years
at the Mate Normal t ollege.
Kvery convenience of life has been
installed at the Cottage Farm resort.
In the early days the water had to be
drawn from the well by a hand pump.
A wind null was added later, and now
an electric motor operates the water
system.

efits," is the advice of J- W. McDon
ald, superintendent of the district. Mr.
McDonald states that he dots not make
this criticism in any spirit of unfriend
liness, but that he may call to the at
tention of some of the patrons that
they are thoughtless in interfering
with the operation of the ditch. Re
cently a small quantity of water was
turned into the ditch for the benefit of
orchardistH who wca snraving. Some
one diverted the How aid used it en
tirely. As a result a number of spray
ers and their crews were stopped from
work for more than a half a day wnue
the superintendent was found.
If any one wants water turned on or
1, the superintendent says he should
be notified and the work will receive
immediate attention. The ditch has
been materially improved this spring
and water will be available for all pat
rons for all ranching purposes.

EAT APPLES IN PUBLIC I Thcy Live Thcy Grow Thcy Pay
HOOD RIVER POULTRY YARDS
(From Cashmere Bulletin.) .
The Porland Ad Club recently passed
the following resolution, a copy of
which was sent to each ad club in the
United States, with the request that it
concur in the resolution:
Whereas, it is good on all occa
sions, therefore be it
"Resolved, that the Cortland Ad
Club, other clubs concurring, hereby
amends the social code to permit of the
eating of apples in public at any time
or place."
Why shouldn t a person eat an apple
when he thinks it would taste good?
He smokes when he thinks a cigar
would taste good and gives one to his
friend. Why should he be squeamish
about biting into a blushing, oderifer
ous bunch of goodness called an apple?
The gallery god takes his sack of pea
nuts with him to eat dnring the play.
Did you ever see one take an apple.'
Why not? Is not an apple as good as a
peanut? James and Marjorie sit on the
park bench and din their hands into the
same bag of popcorn. Did anyone ever
see them courting between bites of an
apple? Why not? Does fresh buttered
popcorn feed love s young dream bet
ter than apples?
Fjven in CaBhmere where the best
apples in the world are grown, you sel
dom see an apple eaten. You may bee
apples, dazzling arrays of them, in the
real estate ottices and a lew sometimes
in stores, but whoever saw a Cashmer
ite actually eating an apple on the
street? Of course we eat our apples,
we can't help it : but we eat them be
hind closed doors, surreptitiously, as it
were, as if they were ashamed of the
appetite. To eat some apples is a dis
grace, we grant, but to eat a cashmere
apple at any time or in any place is an
act of merit.
We want the whole United States
to eat apples; to eat them in season
and out of season : to eat them in pub
lic and in private and to cat lots of
them, lhe Portland Aa ciud s resolu
tion is all right. Let the Cashmere
people set the fashion. If it werfi good
form lots of us would keep our side
pockets bulging with apples where they
would be handy to get at whenever the
apple hunger struck us, and that would
be several times a day. All of which
would help to make apples sell better.

Cunning Has Valuable Cow
No one in the valley, perhaps, has a
more valuable milch cow than H. A.
Cunning, of the JOak Urove district.
The animal is pure bred Jersey, and
her owner sells on an average a two
pound roll of butter each day in addi
tion to keeping his family of wife and
six children supplied with all the milk
and butter needed. "1 waa offered
$125 cash for the cow several days
ago," says Mr. Cunning, but I think I
would make a poor deal to sell her, for
she returns me about $24 Der month."
The cow was received as payment for
a day's work with a team by Mr. tun
niiiL' when she was a tiny calf. "The
neighbors laughed at me when I drove
home with the tiny animal," he says,
hut now she has won the aumirauon
of all the neighborhood." ;

If you wanted to buy oak lumber and the man delivered
yellow pine, jou would know the difference.
If you wanted to buy silk and they sent you calico, you
would have no trouble in seeing the substitution.
It Is not ro easy, however, with medicine. A great many
medicines look alike and taste alike, BUT THEY DON'T ACT
ALIKE. Just think this over the next time you want medi
cines. Remember that at our store you can absolutely rely on
every drug we sell. The difference between buying medicines
and merchandise is the difference between knowledge and be
lief. You know the one but you have to believe in the other.
You will be absolutely safe whan you put your belief in us.
