GOVERNMENT MAR
KET MAN, VISITOR
J. C. 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.

Howe & Ingalls
Maxwell Agency Fourth and Columbia Sts.
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.

At a meeting of the Hood River

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.
