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

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

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

Mr. Smith is survived by a daughter,

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

"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." '

Monmouth State Normal Notes
The O. N. S. summer school enroll

far as we are informed, is toe largest
enrollment the school has ever had at
any one tine. This, together with the
enrollment for this semester, makes a
grand total of nearly 900 students,
which is indicative of the steady growth
of the normal school idea in Oregon,
due to the painstaking methods and the
wise leadership of President Acker
man. Miss Ella McDonald was among the
O. N. S. students who uttended the
game at Corvallia.
In n joint literary olthe three Nor

Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tulles? Do coughs hantf ou, or
are you subject to throat troubles?
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
