PEER SAYS OREGON
HAS WOODY ODOR
BOAT LOAD OF BEES
COMES TO VALLEY
Occupying practically all of the avail
able space in which the hives could be
made stationery, the Steamer Tahoma
brought to this city from Washougal
last week a cargo of bees to be placed
in local orchards. The bees were
formerly the property of Dr. F. D.
Wilson, of this city, who has a ranch at
Washougal, where he spent the past
winter. They were shipped to W. W.
Dakin, a bee man of the Heights,
where he has a large apiary, and who
will distribute them.
During the blooming period the de
mand for bees is constantly increasing
each year. The little honey gathering
insects are declare by experts to be the
best of pollenizers, as they fly from the
blossoms of one tree to another.

SCHOOL NEWS '
Oregon has a distinct smell.
Rudyard Kipling, the author, and the
London Daily Graphic have been argu
ing for some time about odors of differ
ent parts of the world, odors that would
be recognized by the person of discrim
inating olfactory nerve without hesita
tion.
So the big London paper took its case
to sir Ernest bhackleton, the noted ex
plorer, and he said:
"Sure Mike, every part of the world,
nations, cities, provinces, states and
other divisions of territory has an indi
viuuai smell.
"What be they, Em?" asked the
London paper, and so Sir Ernest took
globe-trotting tour in which he "fol
lowed his nose" for the benefit of that
publication.
In the list he says that Oregon has
the distinctive smell of pine trees and
in the same category he places Suther
lunusnire, Scotland.
The fragrant aroma of these giant
trees or the Beaver state is so strong
with Sir Ernest that he feels that he
coilld tell when be was approachin
Oregon a long way off just by a whiff
or me air. the catalogued list
word smells" are amusing, as he
classified them for publication. For
example:
The Straits of Malacca and San Fran
cisco have a "real fruity smell."
Ceylon has a "spicy "tang.
China has the "smell of moth eaten
centuries and lack of disinfectants.'
The West Coast of Africa reminds
Shackleton of decaying vegetable mat
ter. The real spicy smell comes from
Japan, or, to use the great explorer
words, "if a person handed you a Jap

Chile and Peru "Any hot, dry smell

The ideal smell comes from Mauritus
He says, "You are up in the mountains

Americans Eat Much Meat
Tit . .. . .
ino oniy countries reported as having
a greater per capita consumption of
nressca meat than the United States
are the Australian commonwealth and
Argentina. These, it is well known,
ate countries of sparse population and
vast herds and flocks ; hence meat ia ex
ceedingly cheap and the native con
sumption large and probably wasteful
lhe per capita consumption of meat
tor Australia and Argentina is esti
mated to be in the neighborhood of
am pounds per annum ; it may possibly
he even greater. The corresDondini?
consumption for the United States was
computed by the Uuited States Bu
reau of Animal Industry to be 172
pounds in 1909, and it is estimated to
be about 10 pounds less at the present
nine, inis is much greater than the

Dear Jim:
Hood River, Oregon, April 16, 1914
I was going down Cascade Avenue the other day about thirty miles an hour (more or less,
because I had one eye on the lookout for Chief Carson) and went by the Gilbert Implement Co's
store like a' shot out of a gun. A poster in their window caught my eye all I could see was "Be
ginning Today" -and the words stuck in my mind I drove back by there just to see that sign,
and now I'm glad I did.
' You've unboubtedly noticed in the Saturday Evening Post, and all the Magazines the ad
vertisement the United States Tire Co. has been running about their "Nobby Tread Tires." Well,
Gilbert and DeWitt were both full of "pep" about the "Nobby Tread." They persuaded me to
try a pair of them on my rear wheels. Said they were guaranteed for 5000 miles, and you know
all the other tires are only guaranteed for 3500 miles.
But I'm getting a little ahead of my story-I was telling you about that poster. Here's
about the way it read: "Beginning Today, Nobby Tread Tires will be sold under our regular war
rantyperfect workmanship and material-BUT an adjustment will be made on a basis of 5000
miles. This applies also to any Nobby Tread Tires now in service on automobiles. " There was a
lot besides this, but I don't just remember it all. Anyway, it was signed by the United States
Tire Co., and I guess their guarantee is good. The boys told me these people are very liberal and
fair minded when it comes to an adjustment.
Well, I bougut a pair of them for my car put them on that night because I had to make
a trip to Parkdale the next morning early. It had rained a little, as I noticed when I got up in
the morning, and I hated like the dickens to put on my chains. Thought I'd take a chance on
those 'nobs. " When I got to the foot of Booth's Hill, the road was just like glass. I said to my
self, "Here's where I get a dirty job putting on my chains." But I kept on going-and you know
that sharp turn there in the road, on Booth's Hill, where that clay is so slippery I was sure I'd
met my Waterloo. But nothing doing! I went up there like a streak of lightning. Of course,
the wheels spun a little but the nobs did the work. After that, it was plain sailing, and I quit
worrying. Then, too, when I came down the hill, the brakes held like a top. Met a team right
at that sharp curve, and slapped the brakes on -but those Nobby Treads did the business. I made
the quickest stop I ever made iri my life.
The beauty of the whole business, Jim, is that after the nobs have worn off, you still have
a regular smooth tire left. So you really get two tires in one. Naturally, they cost a little more
than the regular smooth tire, but they are worth the difference, and then some. Take my hunch,
Jim, and get next to the Nobby Tread.
Wish you'd write and let. me know what success you have when you get those new tires.
As ever,
v - Bill.
