Gilbert, who with two other members of the office of marekta of the United State department of agricul ture hat opened a bureau at Spokane for the investigation of fruit marketing conditions in the northwest, was here last week securing data and visiting market men. "Until we have available a large amount of statistics we will be able to make no recommendations," says Mr. Uilbert. However, the government men will furnish reports to marketing agencies that should prevent a conges tion of distributing centers. Mr. Uilbert stated that while his of fice had been importuned bv members of both the Growers' Council and Ship- pers' League to begin the investigation, the work would be caried on independently.

The first of five to be taken into the large country home, if the plans of the couple as annonced are carried out. Mr. and Mrs. U. W. Parker, whose place. Little Hoy ranch, located on the Columbia river highway just west of Mitchell's Point, has created so much attention because of its uniqueness, have adopted from a Portland institu tion a little three year old buy. Mrs. Parker says she wants the house full of youngsters. "I think they will be happier if we have a lots of them, she declares. The first fortunate fyouth. who'was brought to the estate last week, has been given a sruprise each day by Mrs. Parker, who. leads him into a new room 01 me Dig nouse every morning to show him the curios and pictures that line the walls. The peaked, pinched face little waif is glowing now with health. From a backward fond ling he is growing into the ordinary enthusiastic youngster, who surprises happy parents each day .by some new trick. 'I chose the thinnest little fellow I could find," says Mrs. Parker. "1 feel like I can do more for such childern. It will be no trouble for the handsome, healthy children to find homes." Mr. and Mrs. Parker leit last weeK for San Diego, Calif., where they were called because of the tragic death of a nephew of the former. The young man, according to the meager message, had met with an accident in Mexico and his body was being brought to San Diego for interment. COMMODORE DEAN DISCUSSES PUBLIC DOCK Commodor. Dean.who for the past 12 years has operated the Hc.od River White Salmon ferry system and who has offered to construct a public dock here, but who declares that he will rot expend cent in such construction if the city opens for wharfage purposes a street leading to the water's edge, jus tifies his position on the alleged law which, it is stated, provides that the dock once opened by the city would be perpetual. ' I would lie ratner a poor i usir.ess man, says tommuauie Kiitn. were i to invest money in wharf with knowl edge beforehand that 1 would have this competition. When a road or wharf is once officially opened and di dicatid to public use, it cannot oe closed, we have been having just the siinie kind of trouble on the Washington side uf the river." The city council lias assuied Commo dore Dean that his project would be welcomed, but to supplyja temporary landing place for boats that have no convenient wharfage facilities the coun cil proposed to open the city street fur a landing. They promised the river boatman that this would no closed as soon as his dock was available. Com modore Dean, however, asserts that they will have no power to discontinue the dock, once it is established. The estimated cost of the proposed wharf is approximately f.',oon. APPLE HARVEST HAS PROGRESSED RAPIDLY While the harvest progressed unusu ally rapidly last week because of the excellent weather and the fright caused growers when gales blew many apples from the trees, the movement of fruit to points of market has been far slower than ordinary years. Indi cations point to heavy Ptorage of ap ples at local terminals. I'p to Satur day the .Apple Growers Association had shipped tut fU carloads of apples, whereas on former years the fruit has moved out almost as fast as received at warehouses. I'.oth the Northwestern Fruit'Grow- ers Kxchange and the Apple Growers Association report a bullish tendency in the price of extra fancy apples. Itoth Wilmer Sieg, and Kenneth Mc Kay, declare that they look for excel en returns on the high class stutr, which is very scarce tl.is year. The market on ealier varieties, which have to be moved immediately, is in poor condition, on account of the competing early fruit of all eastern and middle western distributing centers. iiecause of the hurry of the harvest packers are in demand. The valley, however, has sutlicient labor for pick ing the fruit. ROAD SETTLEMENT POSSIBLE OCT. 15 ASSOCIATION GETS SPACE FOR EXPORT Contracts made last spring by Wil mer Hieg with trans-Atlantic steam ship companies have been confirmed by H. t. Davidson, who is now in New York in charge of the eastern and ex port business of the shipping agency. While the amount of the space secured will not be made public by the Associa tion, it is intimated that it will be suf ficient to take care of the agency's ex port business. Mr. Sieg declares that trie neavy ex portation of munitions of war has caused the shipping companies to make no solicitation of apple business, and he says he feels gratified over having clinched the space last spring. I he rates on apples from New York to English ports have increased 17 shillings per ton of 40 cubic feet," says Mr. sieg, "over last year, when we could ship lor zu shillings per ton, whereas this year the cost is 37 shil lings, making the increase about 17 cents per box." Dr. Ferguson takes Own Life Hood River has never been so shocked as on Wednesday night of last week. when newB spread of the tragedy of of Dr. E. E. Ferguson, who ended his life by a shot from a revovler. The shot was heard about two o clock by men working in an adjoining orchard. About four o'clock Burns Jones ap proached the log house built by Dr. Ferguson in tall trees on his Belmont place and called him, as he wished to discuss some matters of business. Get ting no response Mr. Jones became alarmed. He climbed the 'winding stairway to the chamber, where Dr. Ferguson has been sleeping, and the dead body was discovered. In a letter left by Dr. ferguson he gives as his reasons domestic troubles and business difficulties with Dr. J. A. Reuter, a former partner, of The Dalles. Funeral services, conducted by Kev. D. V. Poling, of The Dalles, were held at the Odd Fellows hall at 10.30 Friday morning. Judge K. K. Butler delivered an address of eulogy. Songs were ren dered by Mrs. Carlton P. Williams, of The Dalles, and Rev. Poling. The body was taken to Portland for cremation Friday afternoon. In addition to his wite, ur. uene Ferguson, and daughter, Ruth, Dr. Ferguson leaves surviving his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ferguson, and a sister Mrs. G. E. Perringer, of Pendle ton; a brother, Wm. S. Ferguson, of Athena, and a sister, Mrs. T. A. Lieu allen, of Adams. The following people from I he Dalles were here to attend the funeral: K. R. Butler, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Crosby, Max A. Vogt. B. P Baily, J. D. Rid- dell. C. L. Pepper, J. S. Jensen, W. F. Boettcher, T. A. Hudson, Joe Stadel- man, Ben k. Limn, Mrs. uariton r. Williams. Mrs. Shaw Attempts Suicide Taking strychnine while in a state of hysterics last Friday morning, Mrs. M. F. Shaw made an attempt to commit suicide. Dr. J. F. Watt and Dr. J. M. Waugh were called to the scene and Mrs. Shaw was removed to the Cottage hospital, where her stomach was re- leved of the poison by means or a stomach pump. She was sufficiently recovered Saturday to be taken to the home of relatives at Cascade Locks. It was stated last Friday that Mrs, Shaw had formed a suicide pact with the late Dr. E. E. Ferguson, who took his own life Wednesday afternoon of last week. Mrs. Shaw, however, de dared Saturday that there was no truth in this statement. Our Jitney Offer This and !c Don't miss this.

Sold by C. X. Clarke. At a meeting of the Hood River county court October 15, when repre sentatives of the 0.-W. R. & N., the Western Union Telegraph Co. and the Pacific Telephone & lclegraph to., State Highway Engineer t'antine and the contractors will be present, an effort will be made to reach a final settlement between the state highway enigneer. the county officials and the Newport Land & construction t o., which built stretches of the Columbia river highway in the county provided for by the $75,000 bond issue sold last year to S.

Underwood Bouquets and Brickbats James Morby has a contract for clear ing four and a half acres on the Dr. Manners place. Mr. Morby is an ex perienced hand at clearing and does some very 200a wont or tnut kiiiu. The lady teacher at Chenowith, after only a few weeks of teaching, resigned and a gentleman teacher I ruin calilor r.ia has been engaged to take her place. Emile Walthers has recently killed some young heifers and supplied good beet to the neighborhood. Mrs. Val Sandall has been absent for some time at Coeur d'Alune, Ida., where she has been engaged in hospital work. Mrs. Sandall is a skilled trained nurse and her services are much Bought after. Quail have been appearing in consid erable numbers in the orchards on the Underwood Heights. 'I hey increase rapidly with the clearing up of the land and would be of great value to field and orchard if the pot hunters and other vermin would let them alone. But with the open season for shooting now on the extermination of these use ful birds began. Firearms in the hands of boys and irresponsible become not only a nuisance but a danger. The other day one of these gunmen was shooting quail on the Haskell Marsh place, when the shot not only killed the poor bird, but also struck Mrs. H. L Hope, who at the time was gathering some cabbage in the garden. It came near being a serious accident. Better look out or some one will get into seri ous trouble. What a destructive animal man is. He has exterminated the buffalo and the passenger pigeons and is now doing his best to exterimnate the quail. By the destruction of these and other use ful birds the farming industry of the United Staes annually suffers the loss of millions of dollars from insect pests which multiply as the birds are killed. The government has been building on the Alaska railroad all summer, and this great government work, which will rank in history with the building of the Panama canal, has almost escaped no tice. The newspapers have given more attention to the trial, doings and say ings of the Thaw lunatic and degener ate than they have to this great na tional work. The man who raises a few beans or a peck of potatoes is worth a trainload of Harry Thaws. Any good domestic animal is worth something to the world, but, as Carlyle says, there are some human beings who are not only worth nothing to society, but to whom society could afford to give something to get rid of them. With the son a fool and the daughter married to the decayed ignobility of Europe there would seem to be ground for Carlyle's grim Barcasm. Private enterprise failed in building the great ditch at Panama and Uncle Sam had to do the job. Private enter prise had the opportunity to develop Alaska, but the millionaires refused to build railroads and open up the country unless given everything in sight, and so Uncle Sam had again to undertake the work, and now the railroads in Alaska will bu in every sense public utilities and not private perquisites. But if this is a good thing down in Panama and up in Alaska, why not in the whole country? The great work now going on in Alaska will open up a new empire for settlement and be of vast importance to the Pacific coast. It ought to outrank in significance the building of warships and organizing armies to kill others, which will soon occupy the attenton of congress and fill the newspapers. But a nation which has a Roosevelt and a Hobsun is surely not unprepared for war. Thistledown. P. S.-Thanks for J. P. Scott. May his tribe increase.
