JOEL C STRAUB, CIVIL WAR VETERAN DEAD AnotLer Civil war terin, Joel C Straub, answered the last nil Wecliieb day night of last week. Mr. Straub, who wai 78 yeara of age, pasned away at the home of hia daughter, Mia. Cora Oriatm, with whom be baa been resid ing aince 1910. Hia death wai caused from cancer. Joel C. Straub led an eventful career jutt before and during the Civil war. He wai a native of Ohio, having been born at Waldo, July 1, 1837. In 1856 he went to Kansat with a party of p-.en from his home county, Marion county, to lend assistance to the Kansas Free State men. He wa with John Brown at Asaawatamie, where the famed Abo litionist waa repulsed by border rufli ans. The Brown party returned to As aawatamie after two weeks to And but two buildings remaining, the others having been burned by the ruffians. Mr. tttraub waa one of the followers of James Lane and Gen. Harley. At the time of John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry, he waa in Memphis, Tenn. . At the outbreak of the Civil war Mr. Straub enlisted in the Fourth Ohio Volunteers under his brother, CBpt William S. Straub. The Fourth Ohio formed a portion of the Gibraltar brig ade, with which Gen. Shields, the briagda commander, declared ht could lick Stoi.'iWall Jackson. After Mr. Straub waa mustered out he reenlisted in the Fifth Ohio. Dot ing the three years of service in th first enlistment Mr. Straub marched a distance of 6, 0(H) mile with his coin psny. When with the Fifth Ohio he marched with Sherman to the Sea. For 12 years before coming to Hood River Mr. Straub was employed in a clerical capacity at the Old Soldiers' home at Dayton, Ohio. In addition to his daughter, Mrs. Ori ans, the deceased veteran leaves sur viving four other children: Mrs. A. W. Bishop, of this city; Mrs. Nettie Van Oaten, of Lyle,Wash. ; and Charles and Henry Straub, of Marion, Ohio. The funeral services were conducted Friday by Canby Post, G. A.

The atrvice was conducted from the home of Mrs, Ori ans by the Anderson Undertaking Co. Song Cervices were conducted by Kev. Ashley Cash.. ASSOCIATION PEAR POOLS GRATIFYING With the exception of a negligible quantity of Winter Nellis, the Apple Growers Association has clostd its pools on the year's pear crop Shipping a total of 48 cars of all vaiieties, the As sociation handled about 75 per cent of the pears of the valley. The best returns shown by the locxl agency are for d'Aijou, the market for which .was bullish throughout the season. For 11 cuts of combination extra fancy and fancy pack, the Asso ciation received 12.20 per box. Fight cars of C grade d'Anjous were shipped, the pool price being (1 50 per box. Because of the ftriet grading, extra fancy pears were very scarce, and the Association packed its fruit in a com bination of the two highest grades. Other varieties are reported as sell ing at the following prices: 17 cars of Bartletts, combination park, at $ 91 per box, and C grade at $ 75 per box ; two cars of Busc, combination, $1.86, C grade, $1.38; Beurre d'Easter, a neg ligible quantity, average, $1.25 per box. The remainder of the" season's yield was made up of a large number of varieties, including Fall Butter, Flemish Beauty, Winter Nellis, Wake field and Kiefer. The pools on the Winter Nellis shipments, whigh will be closed soon, will Bhow net returns of approximately $1.50 and $1.25 for the different grades. The pear crop of the valley has been a surprise, not only in yield, but in net returns to growers. The average net returns shown for ell varieties by the Association being $1.35 per box. The satisafctory yield of the season's pear crop and the handsome profits derived by growers who have plantings of any size, has stimulated such interest in the fruit that new tracta will probably be set to the commercial varieties during the next year. To Hood River . (ByKose E. Taylor) I have not gold at my command, I cannot travel foreign shores, I cannot climb the Matterhnrn, Or delve in Egypt'B mystic lore. There was a time 'twas long ago, 1 hat 1 had dreams -'twas all in vain ; They 're only memories' that now Come stealing o'er my tired brain. I dreamed that I would fometime stand Upon the streets of ancient Kome, The streets where martyred saints had trod. Where sainted Paul had met his doom. I hoped to see the Hill of Mars, Where great Diana ruled the throng. Where Paul, the brave apostle, stood And told them of their deeds of wrong. I thought perhaps that 1 might see The place where mighty deeds were done. Where mighty hosts hsd met and died Upon the plains of Marathon. 1 hoped to see the Holy Lands, Where Israel forsook its God -To walk a Ion i? those rockv roads Where long ago the Master trod. Alas; 'tis only in my dreams That I have seen those sights so grand. And never, now, do 1 expect To set my foot on foreign land. But do not think that I am sad Or that hope dead within me lies; Or that my life is incomplete Because 1 failed to grasp the prize. I've found a spot of beauty rare, Tho I've no gold at my command. Nor did 1 find it o'er the seas, But in my own, my native land. You ask me where this spot is found; Where this great beauty of renown? 'lis in the Cascade mountains grand, Close by "where rolls the Oregon." Hood River 1 do I hear you eay? h yes, why should yrni show surprise? Why should wc always fail to grasp The beauty what before us lies? And as I watch the sun go down Behind the distant, purple hills And see Mount Adams turn to gold And see a thousand silver rills. That water nrchards far and wide A fairer sight you'll ne'er behold, . I wonder why men do not think Of happiness instead of gold?

A LOCAL PIONEER DIES IN PORTLAND The remains of the late Lyman Smith, whose death occurred Wednes day morning of lust week at the home of his daughter-in-law. Mis. Will Smith, of Portland, were buried here last Friday morning at ldlewiide on the 40th anniversary of his arrival in the Hood Hive- valley. Mr. Smith was a member of the colony of settlers who arrived here from Klinyra, N. Y., and Pennsylvania points on November 12, 1875. For mar.y year he was promi nent in Hood Kiver affairs. He owned a large farm just west of the city. The spring from which a portion of Hood Kiver's water supply was former ly secured was located on his place. Mr. Smith is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Eleanor La France, and a son, Lawrence Smith, the latter of Astoria. Mrs. LaKrance lesides in Portland. . The pall hearers were as follows: Truman Butler, L. N. Blowers, Geo. 1. Slocom, J. H. Ferguson and Chas. Wal lace. The funeral was conducted by S. P.. Bartmess. Underwood Bouquets and Brickbats F. W. Dehart has purchased a ranch near Sherwood, Ore., 18 miles south of Portland, and expects soon to re move part of his family to the same. Bert Veach has resigned his position as superintender.t of the Goddard farm ard intends in the near futute to locate in Clurke county, perhaps in the neigh borhood of Vancouver. Mr. and Mis. Veach will be much missed in this vi cinity, bf they are among the original pioneers and enjoy a very large ac quaintance and have a great rnary friends. They have been helpful neighbors, believing in doing all they can and making no fuss about it. the president has proclaimed 'I burs day, November 25, a day of thanksgiv ing and prayer, when he asks us to cease from our wonted occupations and in homes and places of worship render thanks to Almightr God. But I am afraid there will be more turkey din ners than real thanksgiving, more peo ple at the ball games and in the hull toonis than in the churches. We are overflowing with material comforts an blessings, but they do not always make us thankful. Well tilled graneries and barns and good prices for apples do not always connect the soul with God.' His best gifts are not necessity great market values and bsnk purplusses. The greatest good is what we are all hunting for, but we often choose a gold brick and get shnddy for the real goods. Vast material wealth and pros perity are by no means to be despised, but they are only the foil and back ground for more valuable assets. Vir tue is more than market valueB, good chnracter more than gold. Gratitude is not one of our di-iin-gui-hi.'g characteiistics. tur nieiii orits aie often short. We little note ard not long remember some of the K st and noblest things that arc ever done. We lake all we can yet ard otten for get the giver. Yet it is tie glory of man that he is able to return thsnks. Animals do not know how tofeilur say "thank you." But to feci grati tude inhuman, and to give expression to it is always becoming. We will thank the boy who picks up our hand kerchief on the street, tut we will often lake all the good things thai come our way and forget to thank in heart or life tne Almighty Giver of all. When our old battleship Texas went through a storm of iron and shot in the fight with the Spanish fleet and came out unscathed, Captain Phillip hBil all hards called on deck and said: "I want all you officers and men to lift your hats and 1 rom your hearts offer silent thanks to the Aimighty." i-very hat went off and every head was bowed, and you could have heard a pin dropon that deck. When, Captain Philip walked past the crew he saw tears on the face of many an old sailor that he supposed did not know how to cry. America has just passed through a year of the greatest tragedy in human history, and while the lands beyond the sees have been smitten by a tornado of fire ard blood and tilled with all the carnage and all hate, we have been un scathed. We ought to lift our cup and say with the crew of the Texas: "I thank Thee." America is the fairest land on which the sun in all its course around the globe shines; the Pacific coast is the fairest part of America, Oregon and Washington are the fairest part of the Pacific coast; Hood River, White Salm on and Underwood are the fairest part of Oregon and Washington. This is a land of hope. The average of human happiness is greater here than anywhere else on the globe. Our people are the best educated, the best behaved (most of the time), the beet housed, the best fed, the best dressed and the best looking people on the globe today. It took the Almighty four hundred million years to get this country ready for us, hut wben he did it was the best work of His bands. We ought to be thankful. Thistledown. Grange Thanks Railways The following resolution of thanks to the Mount Hood Railway Co. and the O.-W. R. & N. Co. was recently adopt ed by the Pine Grove grange: "Wheuas. ths Mount Ho?d Rtilrcad has made material reductions on sutne of its local freight rales and whereas, the Mount Hood company and the O. W. R. & N. Co. have absorbed some of the local freight on through shipments of apples, "Therefore, be it resolved that we thank the above named companies for said action and urge our members to patronise and ship over said roads as much as possible in apprecigtion of the concessions granted."

He will aveiage more than $1 per box from his fruit sales. One of the mo t remarkable yields for the year has been reported by N. W. Bone," of the Willow Flat communi ty.

The young trees bore only a small quantity, i and only about half of the older trees boreolner than a negligible quantity. Practically the whole of the heavy yield came from 400 trees. The apples were above the aversge in quality. COOPER & LARAWAY MEN MAKE RECORDS Both packing and picking records have been broken this year in local orchards. The record of pickers is held by Sam Carr. Chet Vincent, D. B. Quick and Thomas Hemsteud, who assisted in the harvest of the crop on tho ranch of W. F. Cooper and W. F. Laraway. One day these men harvest ed 450 boxes and on another picked 525 boxes of fruit. The aveiage picker will harvest no more than 80 boxes of apples per day. lurge portion of the crop of the Cooper & Laraway ranch ran to extra fancies. Monmouth State Normal Notes The O. N. S. summer school enroll ment readied a total of 508, which as far as we are informed, is toe largest enrollment the school has ever had at any one tine.

Miss Ella McDonald was among the O. N. S. students who uttended the game at Corvallia. In n joint literary olthe three Nor mal societies Miss Ada Halt gave an original German reading entitled "Class Room Expressions at O. N. S.," which was thorougnly enjoyed by the mixed audience. Miss Hart ia doing special work along literary lines. Miss Etheljane McDonald has organ ized a class of Camp 1 ire Girls in the Normal school Miss McDonald's aim is to help the girls in becoming better acquainted with the Camp Fire move ment, so they may be able to manage similar organizations in their own schools. Misa McDonald ia a very cap able person for this work, as she has had considerable experience along this line s .u the faculty is glad that the wotk is being explained. Miss Irene WilliamB has been selected to take part in a play to be given by the Vespertine society at Thanksgiving time.
