As tbe apple of dissension and sin brought to the Garden of Eden its chief fame, ao tbe red and golden apple of com merce, gathered from tbe vast orchard of the Hood River valley, an article of profit that brought pleasure, too, to the grower in its production, has be come tbe symbol to tbe world of one of the northwest's premier fruit districts. Yet the dsy may come when Hood River is a synonym for the exalting handiwork of a prodigal Mother Na ture. and apples may lose their first lustre within their own kingdom. The barrier of heaped-up collonades along tbe south gorge of the mighty Wauua, ' as the Indians termed the Columbia, has been unlocked by the Columbia river highway and a treasure house of scenery has been made acceisible to the world traveler who journeys these modern times in luxurious motor cars. In the short year aince the highway has been opened, even before it has been officially dedicated, thousands have come to see the glorious sights to which it led. And though many of them were calloused by long search for thrills in every remote corner and her alded spot of the great round globe, never has the magnificence of the mid- Columbia of tbe Cascades failed to draw from thelmost indifferent ex presaions of sincerest appreciation. It has been tbe task of Oregon man merely to build a road, and the wonder loving of the world come to see and travel it. Yet the roadbuilder'a work has been an inspired one, and be has reared to himself enduring monuments, many of them, graceful structures of concrete, solid masonry, yet handsome in their strength. At Mitchells Point, bored through jutting cliffs of solid basalt a hundred feet from the waters' .level of the sweeping Wauna is the "Tunnel with its eyes," as it has been appropriately termed by S. . Bartmess, Hood River poet The Mitchells Point tunnel has taken a foremost place io the history of the world's roadbuilding. The tun nel of the Axenstrasse and others that in former vears have been the goal of wealtby travelers, appear artificial and lose their appeal in comparison with the new wonder of Hood River county, approscbed on the west by a giant causeway, a hundred feet long and on concrete pedestals 90 feet in height. And tourists are beginning to come to the Hood River valley to view the tunnel of Mitchells Point and othei spots of scenic grandeur. Tbey wjll see the orchards spread like vast gar dens on the floor of the wonderful val ley, and tbey may not forget them, but the view of the surrounding mag nificence will make an indellible im pression, and in after years when the tourist from afar buys a Spitzenburg or Newtown from Hood River, retrospec tively munching the luscious sphere, he will travel again through tbe envi rons of the apple's home valley. PROGRESSIVE GARDENING For a score of years John H. Koberg has been planting, ploughing and ex perimenting on his Columbia river bot tom farm just east of Hood River. From the very first he has grown good products. But the best were considered none too goodjfor Hood River and adja cent cities. Mr. Koberg conducted bis experiments that he might find the best garden truck. Has he aucceeded? You will find the answer by an inter view with the man or woman who has eaten of'Non Pareil" Hood River as paragus, who haa tasted of tboae lus cious moskmelons that grow on the Twentieth Century Truck farm. In all of Oregon you will find no farmer or truck gardener whobas succeeded in the production of more perfect vege tables than John H. Koberg. Now comes another side of Mr. Ko berg's business genius. He has dem onstrated that he can not only grow the best, but he is a modern salesman, a modern business man. Tbe Glacier makes bold to say that perhapa no ad vertising appearing on its pages has been read more keenly or with better results during tbe past few weeks than the display space filled with the stories of the Twentieth Century Truck farm. Mr. Koberg didn't observe much care in writing those advertisemenats, that is, in just dotting them down. He ex plained that his handwriting waa not as good as that of a new graduate from a business college, but probably better than the scrawl of most newpsper men. "The arrangement." said Mr. Koberg, "that's the business of your compositors." Yet the statements of Mr. Koberg carry a direct message. The reader is made to aee between the lines the neat rows of spinach and the well cared for truck garden. Those advertisements showed the thought of 20 years of bard work ; tbey strike a new note in tbe business of farming. . The Twentieth Century Truck farm is truly modern institution. Berry and cherry growers will soon be jingling good money. k OCR E2T2DAY Om Saturday, Jar ft, 1889, Geo. T. Pratbei arid . John Cradkbaugb, the former bow engaged tn ranching in tbe Summit dUtriet and the Utter still fol lowing his chosen profession In another pert of the northwest, iaaoed tbe first Glacier. The Glacier ia today 27 jeers of age. Tbe Glacier management grows re trospective and looks back over tbe events of tbe peat quarter of a century with pride. As a publication it ia proud of its own advancement and progress and tbe part it haa played in tbe rusk ing of Hood River. It ia proud of tbe thousands of acres of fruit trees, gar denlike tracts spread in one of tbe heaven-like garden spots of the world, the part that is played in its midst by big lumber interests, of the good roads that penetrate orchard diatrict and wild forest land, of the great scenic trunk route, the Columbia river highway, which will be officially dedicated next Wednesday. But its greatest pride ia the energy and indomitable will of tbe citiexnsbip of tbe Hood River valley, the personalities and attributea of whom are reflected by tbe success of tbe town and valley. Tbe Glacier was purebased from Mr, Cradlebaugh by S. P. Blytbe, dean of northwestern pioneer printers, who is now living on his Twin Oaks fsrm west of the city. In 1904 A. D. Moe, its present publisher, purchased tbe pa per. Never bas tbe Glacier Indulged in any apectacular act. Even on its birth days it has pursued tbe even tenor of is ways and has made no great ado. And in the future, as in the past, we promise to move, though it rosy be slowly, surely along, chronicling in plain facta eaeh week's events. AN EMPIRE BUILDER PASSES James J. Hill, Empire Builder, ia dead. Such was the message flsshed by telegraph wire and cable over tbe world last Monday. Just before the end of tbe great man, newapapera of the land had been.filled with atoriea of appealing human Interest, telling of tbe struggle of medical science, aided by all that money eould buy. But tbe struggle wss a vain one. That engine, tbe human body.of the Empire Builder, had made its last run, and wss ready for the last roundhouse, the family mausoleum on tbe family's private es tate near St. Paul. And we are brought face to face with that axiom that the surest thing in life is death. Tbe rich, the poor, tbe high and the low, must answer that last call. Full was the life that Jamea J. Hill lived. Tbe name "Empire Builder bas been applied to him not becsuae of the wealth that he amassed end the accompanying tribute tbat money de mands. James J. Hill was truly a hero of an era of peace. Hia life'a work waa one to upbuild and develop. He waa a constructive genius. His aims were not merely for the successful ends of James J. Hill. He built to en banco tbe value of undeveloped fertile land throughout the Northwest and for the ultimate benefit of a nation. Many men have won wealth and prestige, have placed themselves on pedestals above fellow men by shrewd trickery. Jim Hill has won. tbe nsme of playing fair. And that name will live long in the annals of American history. A long willow branch or a no less lengthy strap needs to be applied to a tender portion of the body surface of the boy or boys who have been gird' ling trees around the atage of the open air theatre at Chautauqua park. With in the past week three of the big ma plea, the boughs of which form a rustic canopy over tbe stage, have been gir died. In 10 minutes the thoughtless boys have destroyed a couple of decades of Nature'a work. The Glacier extenda heartiest con gatulations to Commodore Dean on his thirteenth anniversary as the Hood River-White Salmon ferryman. Com modore Dean,accommodating, progress ive and above all optimistic, haa be come a mid-Columbia institution. Oregon can't beat the far east for freakish weather.
