OREGON I i PROMINENT HORTICUL TURISTS ARE VISITORS The following celebrities in the horti cultural world, who have been attend ing the California expositions, spent last Thursday here inspecting the orch ards of the Hood River valley and vis iting J. R. Winston, pathologist of the experiment station : Ur. J. P. Stewart, a pathologist of the Pennsylvania State College ; l'iof. W. N. Hutt, chief of the department of igriculture of the state of North Carolina, and J. Vand Lindldey, of Po mona, N. C. Dr. Stewart was accom panied by his wife. All of the viuitors expressed a de light with the northwestern country, and declared that the methods of har vesting and caring for apple crops were in advance of most sections of the country. Mr. Vand I.indley, who is also a nur seryman, owns the largest apple or chard in the state of North Carolina. HOOD RIVER DECLINES TO ENTER BIG SALE -The Apple Growers Association de clined to participate in the tale of 600 carloads of C grade applet by the North Pacific Fruit Distributors to G. II. Robinson & Co., fruit dealers of Grand Korki, N. p., according to Wil rr.er Sieg. "1 was arked to furnish 50 carloads of our fruit," says Mr. Sie?, "but 1 declined, feeling that we could handle our apples to better advantage through our own channels. The sale was made through the North Dakota firm's buy er, W. A. White, who last spring pur chased 60 carloada of Hood River strawberries for distribution in the middle west." The enormous tonnage of C grades, according to Oscar Vanderbilt, a repre sentative of the Association, who was in Spokane, was sold at 80 cents per box, f. o. b. shipping point. Mr. Sieg states that the pear crop is being cleaned up very satisfactorily. Rartletts have all been shipped, the crop reaching about 2." rarloxds. The growers have received from HO cents to $1 per box for Oartlets. With this variety of fruit scarce, the Hood River valley has never had a finer d'Anjou pear crop than thia season. About 12 carloads have been sold at a price of $2.25 per box, f. o. b. Hood River. Thia community grows but a small quantity of Buerre d'Esters and Winter Nellie. "Every indication points to an apple crop of elegant quality," says Mr. Sieg. "Weather conditions have been very favorable for giving us the de sired size, and all we need now is the usual light frost conditions to add the color." CHAPMAN'S SIGN CREATES LAUGHS The Farmer's Chores Uy Uttilie G. Iioetzkes The farmer's chores are never done. If you count them there'are a hundred and one ; From morning till night the life long day, Of course, while the sun shines, he has to make hay. l'.R not a snap that kind of a life. There's the stock and the crop, chil dren and wife. All need looking after and special care. As every farmer is well aware Now begin to count, if you have fingers enough ; The wood chopping in winter is pretty tough, For with zero and below and an empty bin Lots of wood for the stove will have to be in. Then milking the cows, morning and night And feeding the hogs, I tell you, its a fright. They eat his head otf, if he don't look out. And if he don't fence them in, they are all about. The turkeys and hens, he loves them so And delights to see them all nicely grow. In harvest time, when the apples are ripe, He's sure not to have leisure to smoke his pipe. What did 1 forget, I wonder all? lhe baby is soon beginning to crawl. It needs clothes and shoes, mid food and milk. 1 see, wifey would get no gown of silk. The horses need shoes, just like baby dear. Anil the neart'st blacksmith is by no means near. The wheel of the wagon broke in the mud, J nut when potatoes were beginning to bud. The farmer's life is sure one of care. Butgthere are blessings and joys every where. And lots of them, too, if the job's done well, And the pigs are fat and plenty apples to sell. Excitement and amusement were created Monday afternoon by a sign placed by W. S. Chapman on a par tially demolished stile erected by the city over a wire fence just north of the passenger depot. The stile was erected last spring for the convenience of ped estrians going to and from the Under wood ferry landing on a hoard walk placed .along the city's right of way. The sewer crosses Mr. Chapman's prop erty. Recently the city council re fused a proposition submitted to them by Mr. Chapman, who wanted the road leadng to the ferry landing widened and straightened. The council, accord ing to statements of members, have never taken the offer seriously, and thus peeved the owner of the land north of the railroad company tacked up his sign. He warns the people who have been accustomed to use the stile that they must use the regular wagon road. The city fathers are accused of being dictated to by the railway company. The following is the conclusion of trie sign, which, since it was learned Monday afternoon that Mr. Chapman had displayed it, has been read by more than 100 citizens: "When it comes to being a hog, trust a railway company. With three feet in the trough.itggrunts its protests against increasing public sentiment aKainst the njustice and oppression practiced by such corporations." Mrs. Gillette Buried Monday The funeral of the late Mrs. Mar- gerie Hilna Gillette, who paused away Sunday at her homo in Udell, was con ducted Monday afternoon at the Odd Union church by Rev. Troy Shelly, in terment following at Idlewilile ceme tery Mrs. Gillette was 21 years of age. She leaves surviving her hus band, Roy F. Gillette, to whom she was niHrried January 23, 19111, at Twin r alls, f Ida., and a small daughter, Elo- lse Kuth. In addition, Mrs. Gillette leaves sur viving her mother, Mrs. Hattie Crock ett Dean, and a sister, Miss Hilda Dean, of Rupert, Ida; two sisters, Mrs. Vera Wheeler, of Nampa, Ida., and Mrs. Mabel Kemp, of Udell, and f brother, Fred Crockett, of Odell. The funeral was conducted by S. K Uartmeas. Fall Rains Begin The fall rains began Sunday after noon. The precipitation was accom nanied by a severe electrical storm, The electrical display was general over the state. The Dalles power plant was put out ol commission lor a tune In the Oak Grove district a heavy hail storm prevailed. The hail stones were several inches deep alter the storm. No damage was caused in orchards. Early Monday morning a steady downpour negan. Biliousness and Constipation It is certainly surprising that anv wo man will endure tli miserable feelings caused bv biliousness and constipation when relief is so easily hud and al so little expense. Mrs. I. lias, reck, dates N. Y., writes: "About a year ago 1 used two bottles of Chamberlain's Tablets and they cured me of biliousness mid constipation." Obtainable everywhere.

EXCHANGE BEGINS USE OF NEW BUILDING The Fruit Growers' Exchange will begin to ship fruit from its new three story warehouse and Btorage building this week, lhe structure, luuxuu tcet, is located on the tracks of the Mount Hood Railway Co. it is built'of hol low tile. The building will be equipped with gravity conveyors, leading to all storage rooms' and to the loading plat forms. The structure is still incom plete, the Exchange making use only of the lower stories. The Exchange Saturday received its first order for Jonathans of the season. Middleman's Profit Discussed The joker in the apple-selling prob lem is the middlemman'a profit. Take the Hood River product, for example. Much of it goes east, but there is a great bulk that would be consumed in Portland, where the people never get enough of it. The box at retail costs about twice what the grower gets. The parcel post is a convenience, but to use it requires advertising and hand ling, and other expense and bother to the shipper that must be paid by the consumer. These items bring the cost pretty well up to the middleman's quo tations, and that brings the matter uruund to the beginning. So it may be the middleman is not to blame very much if his price for a good article seems too high. Those who would eat the best must pay the most. Oregon-ian. Tar Stops Gutters A tar preparation, covering the roof of the Schaftner & Adams building at the cornel of Third and Oak streets, became heated this summer and tilled the drain pipes and gutters. It was necessary last week to melt the prep aration. The heavy smudge and smoke from the tar caused people on the streets to think the building was on fire. Worth Their Weight in Gold. "I have usi',1 Chamberlain's Tablets and found them to be just as represent ed, a quick relief for headaches, dizzy spells and other symptoms denoting a torpid liver ami a disordered condition of the digestive organs. They are worth their weight in gold," writes Miss Clara A. Driggs, Film, N. Y. Obtainable everywhere. ELLIOTT IS NOW MAKING SURVEY With a crew of 14 men. J. A. Elliott, engineer for the State Highway Com mission, who has been in charge of the construction of the Mitchells Point tun nel anoviaduct, which were opened to traffic on Labor Day, is now atationed at Rowena making preliminary sur vey of the route of the Columbia river highway between The Dalle and Mo tier. As coon as the survey ia com pleted for the Columbia river highway in Wasco county, Mr. Elliott and his men will complete the survey through Hood River county, running a line from thia city to Mosier. "Although there has been no defi nite or formal action on the part of the Commission" laid Engineer Elliot when in this city last week, "it it generally understood that the Colum river highway from Hood River will take an intermediate route. That is, it will neither go directly up the river, nor will it pass out through the Hood River valley, and over the range be tween here and the Mosier district. The road will leave the county road, as at present laid out, a little over a mile from the city on the East Side of Hood River. At this point the traveller will be given a magnificient view of the Hood River valley orchards. "This road will gradually lead back to the top of the Columbia gorge, which it will follow pretty closely all the way to Mosier." YEAR'S POTATO YIELD IS HEAVY The total yield of potatoes in the Hood River valley will probably reach 50 carloads this year. The larger part of the crop, however, will be used in local consumption. The Hood River Produce Exchange alone will ship th tuber in carlots. "We estimate that we will handle about 20 cars of potatoes this season," says Crawford C. Lemmon, manager of the Produce Exchange. "We bandied 15 cars last year." ; Current jobbing prices for potatoes are from 65 to 75 cents per bag. The quality is good, many of the tubers having been produced on freshly cleared ground. While Hood River will have enough onions to supply the local trade until late in the winterno carlot shipments will be made. The cabbage acreage of the valley is probably the largest in the history of the district. One grower in the Upper Valley has 75 tons of cabbage. On ac count of depressed market conditions now, he is uable to move.the product at a profit. "We believe that we could handle cabbage profitably," says Mr. Lem mon, "if it were grown in larger quantities and we could move it to the trade in fair sized lots." BUTCHER BUYS SITE FOR POWER PLANT J. C. Butcher, a spray manufacturer, who has been operating a factory at Clackamas, last week purhased from J. F. Batchelder a site west of the E. J. Young packing plant on the O.-W. R. & N. Company's tracks. He will begin at once the construction of a building and will remove his spray ma- ehinTV to thia citv. Mr. Hutrhpr tin the only manufacturer of arsenate of lead in the northwest. He will operate hin nlnrit not nnlv tn minnlv Inrnl nrph- ardists, but shipments will be made to all northwestern truit districts. The investment in machinery and equipment at tne new tactory will reacn iu,uuu. Monroe Company Burglarized Effecting an entrance through a rear window, burglars looted the billiard and cigar store of the N. A. Monroe Co., Saturday night. The burglary took place after 2.30 o'clock. Merchan dise and money to the value of $100 was taken. (iearhard Disappears. ' J. D. Wall is now sole owner of the Blue Ribbon Bakery, of the Heights. His partner, A. F. Gearhard, left the city Saturday. Mr. Wall slates that he will continue the business as usual. "We will continue the delivery of our pies, breads and pastries," says Mr. Wall. None l'qual to Chamberlain's. "I have trie,! most all of the cough cures and li nd that there is none that equal Chaiulierlaiii'a Cough Remedy.

Sep. 10. 1915, Editor Glacier: 1 want to write a little to express my appreciation of the Glacier in our home. 1 have been per mitted by the Glacier tujoin in the Co lumbia highway opening and reception at Hood River, and shouted an enthusi astic "Amen" to the orator's "By God its great!" I also enjoyed the recep tion to Ex-president Taft, and while I was not at the convention that nomin ated him, 1 cast my first vote for the Great President in 1800, and answered the first call for men to save the Union in 1801. 1 hope Hood River will long have E. L. Smith as first citizen. I have just been sick for over three weeks and am just able to be up and around the house. Fortunately Mrs. C . is quite well. We had a delight ful rain last night. It was like a gen tle Oregon mist. Sincerely yours, Thos. J. Cunning. To the Public "I feel that 1 owe the manufacturers of Chaniberlain's Colic, Cholera and P.i arrhoea Remedy a word of gratitude," writes Mrs. T. X. Witherall, Gowanda, X, Y. "When I began taking this med icine I was in great pain and feeling terribly sick, due to an attack of sum mer complaint. After taking a dose of it I had not long to wait for relief as it benefitted uie almost immediately." Obtainable everywhere. Mr. Merchant, a price marker will save you hours of time when marking your goods. Accuracy and neatness are its commendable features. A few cents buvs one at this ollice. Signsof Danger Should be Heeded by Hood River People There's serious danger in neglecting any weakness of the kidneys. The warning that Nature gives should not le overlooked. If troubled by too fre quent passage of the kidnev secretions; burning or scalding; if tfie secretions are highly colored and contain sediment when left standing if you have back ache, too, with frequent headaches and dizziness, make up your mind that your kidneys are affected and begin using some reliable kidney remedy.

Hood River people reeemmend Doan's Kidney Pills, Can you ask for better proof of merit than "the statement of this Hood River resident? Mrs. X. A. Monroe, SH Cascade Ave., Hood River, says: "My back and kid neys bothered uie a great deal and I felt run down and miserable. Doan's Kid ney Pills helped me greatly, soon restor ing me to my usual good health. Every one should know of such tine medicine" Price ftOe, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kid ney Pills the kind that Mrs. Monroe had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buf falo, X. Y. Painless Dentistry Why Do I Advertise?
