! TWENTY YEARS IN
! MOSiER, 1S93-1913
l By Alex Stewart)
la my former eotnmunit-stiun I at
tempted to tvveronly the oceourrences,
as 1 re mem!-red them in about the
'town' of Mo.-itr during the first ten
years of my residence there, so that I
ill tiow have to ntternM to cover the
surroundii'ir country as I remember it
during thstt fame peril!.
lhe fruit irmutry at the i-gnimnr
of this period was not iefl.ed as it
is today. 1 he princ iplal fruits grown
werv prune., chert ies. plums, and a
few were growing apples without the
um i f f pray and the rtsults were far
from satisfactory, the larger r cent
of the product beir. wormy. At ttiat
time those enaed in growing these
fruits were Amos Root, r.eo. Sellin
ger, Lee Euns. J. M. Elliott, Jas. L.
Brown, Samuel H unhands and son,
Wm., Louis Iavenport, Mt Dichten
muller and L. Lanih.
In tU; fall of 1HI the writer Ixmht
of Wb. Husbands 4ui boxes of un
packed apples at 40 or DO cents per bcx
rown on the place now owned by your
Popular manager of the Mosier, Fruit
Growers Association, It. D. (,'hatfield.
Prominent among th farmers who
at that time were not in the fruit in
dustry but engaged in general farming
and stock raising, (the country at that
time being an open range), I might
mention J. 11. M osier, who in addition
to owning the Mosier Donation Land
Claim, also owned the Marshall Ikxia
tion Land Claim, now owned by the
Last Hood Hiver Fruit Co.. also the
property now owned by K. L. McKen
na. Mr, Mosier, being the first settler
in the country, had gone into the stock
business and at one time the cattle
upon a "thousand bills" covered with
bunch grass, were his. Others at the
period so engaged were Wm. McClure,
Sr., and his two Sufis, Thos, J. and
Wm. L. McClure; Robert unsrnore,
Mathew Thiel and his brother, Hub
bard; Knmk I.apier; N. P. Sturgess;
(!eo. Ireland; V. C. Young; W. A.
Stark; Mrs. N. Bowman: Keece Pra
ther; Mrs. Huskey ; W. E. Huskey;
and our old friend, Mr. Meeks with
his two sons, Stephen and Thomas;
John Evans and Mr. Godbersen. J. N.
Watt and R. F. Hardwick were at that
time employes of the O. R. & N. Co.
in the B. & 15. Dept., but their fam
ilies were on the farms. These and
possibly some that 1 have overlooked
or forgotten, besides unite a number
of homesteaders, made up the princi
pal part of the farming population at
the beginning of this period.
About this time or soon after, others
now prominent, in Mosier affairs began
to arrive and buy, or locate on govern"
ment land. Among such 1 note my old
friend and your worthy 'councilman
from the "Steenth" ward, C. J. E.
Cailson; A. L. Lundborg ; J.P.Car
roll and his two sons, Geo. L., and
Jno. M. ; Hill Hunter, father of your
eflicient postmistress, and his brother,
F. M. Hunter; the two brothers of
your "old timer" Lee Evans, Dick and
Wm. Evans ; also the father of these
prominent Mosier citizens. Your old
time citizen, G. It. Wood, was also on
his homestead 'on "Little Mosier.''
Old Mr. Wyss with his boys, Gerald
and Arnold, were holding down claims
on Mosier creek.
It was along toward the close of this
period that the growers began to wake
up to the possibilities of apple cul
ture. Some of the growers and shippers .of
Hood River Valley who had been en
gaged in berrv culture, discovered
that with modern methods 'of cultiva
tion, spraying and thorough organiza
tion, putting out an honest pack, they
could beat the world in the production
of certain varieties of apples such as
the Spitz and Newtown. So thorough
ly did hey carry forward the project
that by advertising; and thorough or
ganization they established a market
that netted the grower, if 1 remember
correctly, about $:i.i!.ri for exrta fancy
stock.
Taking advantage of the opportun
ity to exploit the only place on earth
that could produce such apples at such
prices, the.wide awake people of Hood
River engaged in this business created
such a demand for orchard land that it
advanced to unheard of prices and
everyone from the lady stenographer
to liie staid lawyer and doctor went
crazy on the orchard (luestion, and you
could sell land sight unsen in the fruit
section for anv old price that your con
science would allow you to ask.
And so ended the lirst ten years of
my experience at Mosier.

For United States Senator
MEDICAL SERVICE j
CORPS PROPOSED
DICTION INTEREST
IS VERY. SMALL
For ' th"e purpose of completing the !
mobilization of the entire medical and
! surgical resources of the country, the (
1 Council of National Defense has au-:
! thunzed and directed the organization j
I of the "Volunteer Medical Service '
! Corps." which i imed to enlist in. the '
I general war-winnintr program all re-
putable physicians and surgeons who
I re not eligible to membership in the
I Medical UMicers' Reserve Corps.
It has t-een rcognized always that
' the medical profession is made up of
' men w hose patriotism is unquestioned
j and who are eager to serve their
i country in every way. Slight physical
i infirmities or the fact that one is be
yond the age limit, 55 years,-or the
fact that one is needed for essential
public or institutional service, while
precluding active work in camp or field
or hospital in the war zone, should not
prevent these patriotic physicians from
close relation with government needs
at this time.
It is intended that this new corts
shall be an instrument ably directly to
meet such civil and military needs as
are not already provided for. The
General Medical Board holds it as axi
omatie that the health of the people at
home must he maintained as efficiently
as in times of peace. The medical
service in hospitals, medical colleges
and laboratories must be up to stand
ard; the demands incident to examina
tion of drafted soldiers, including; the
.reclamation of men rejected because
of eompaiatively slight physical de
fects; the need of conserving the
health of the families and dependents
of enlisted men and the preservation
of sanitary conditions- all these needs
must be fully met in time of war as in
time of peace. They must be met in
spite of the great and unusual deple
tion of medical talent due to the de
mands of field and hospital service.
ENGINEER VIEWS
NEW BRIDGESITE
A. L. Foster, an engineer for Parker
4 Bantield, Portland contractors, re
cently awarded the contract for con
structing a concrete Columbia High
way bridge across Hood River, arrived
here Saturday for investigation pre
limanary to actual work. The new
bridge, which will replace the steel
span, property of Hood River county,
will cost $41,000, of which the county
court will pay $,U0U. The bridge will
consist of three arch Bpans, t5 feet
long each, and concrete approach,
which will bring the tidal length to
nearly 500 feet.
Construction work, it is stated, will
begin as soon as materials can be as
sembled. Bum Apples Cause Comment
As an object lesson to growers a dis
play of cull Jonathan apples, which
have been selling in Portland for $1
per box recently, was made Saturday
at Laraway's store. The apples were
covered with blemishes and were shriv
eled. "This fruit has had space in cold
storage," stated a card attached to the
display. "It was grown on one of our
prominent orchards. Does it pay to
hndle such product? How long can we
afford to follow such a practice'.'"
The display attracted much comment
on the part of growers, who declare
that .the marketing of such apples
should be prohibited.
Big Owl is Irish
One of the largest owls ever seen
hereof the horned species- was cap
tured by Warren Miller, Frankton
orchardist. The owl had been making
inroads on Mr. Miller's poultry yard.
The big night bird, two feet in
height, when standing, has been
mounted and placed on display at Pat's
place. It was decorated with Irish
green ribbons Sunday, and a cigar of
the Owl brand was held in its talon.

Little interest has as yet been dis
played here in the approaching primary
election. Although the field is crowded
by gubernatorial candidates, but little
expression is heard among local elect
ors. The small sentiment that is ex
presed favors the nomination of Gov
ernor Withycombe, while some mention
is made of Olcott arid Simpson.
With a senator and two joint repre
sentative to be elected from Hood Riv
er and Wasco counties for the legisla
ture of next year, no candidate has as
yet appeared.
F'riends of Judge Blowers are bring
ing pressure to bear to seek his can
didacy for the county judgeship.
Judge blowers, one of the city's prom
inent business men and a former
mayor, was appointed last year by
Governor Witycombe to succeed E. K.
Stanton, resigned.
F.dward Hawkes has announced his
candidacy to succeed himself as county
commissioner. No other prospective
candidate for this office has been men
tioned.
For county offices announcements:
have leen made as follows: Mrs.
Kent Shoemaker, county clerk, and S.
W. Heppner, county assessor. .
Judge Fred VV. Wilson, apKinted to
succeed Judge W. L. Kradshaw, will
be a candidate for the circuit judge
ship. It is conceded that Judge Wil
son's vote will be practically unani
mous in Hood River county. Indeed,
it is not- likely, it? is stated, that he
will be opposed.
Bishop O'Keilley Promoted
tiishop Chas. J. O'Keilley, of the
eastern Oregon diocese of the Catholic
church and well known in Hood River,
has just been promoted after a 15-year
service in Oregon, to the diocese of
Lincoln, Ne.br.
Bishop O'Keilley, who has been ill,
is reported as convalescent at Oakland,
Calif.
Mitchells Point Mill Begins
A. A. I.ausmann, president of the
company, the mill of which is located
just west of the Mitchells Point tun
nel, announces that the Mitchell Point
Lumber ( o. will start its going camps
todav. The mill, with a capacity of
HO, 000 feet daily, the largest in the
county except that of the Oregon Lum
ber Co., at Dee, will begin the season
about April 1.
The lumber company employs about
75 men.
"It Sure Does the Work"
Changeable weather and wet feet
make March a dangerous month for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough. Be prepared to get prompt re
lief. Don't let a cold run into serious
sickness. Mrs. W. H. Thornton, 3523
W. 10th St., Little Rock, Ark., writes:
"My little boy had a severe attack of
croup and I honestly believe he would
have died if it had not been for Foley's
Honey and Tar. Two doses relieved
him. I would not be without it at any
price." Sold everywhere.
German Prisoners Suggested as Workers
"Do not let transports return to
America empty," is the suggestion by
Peter Mohr, native German and pio
neer Hood River valley rancher. "Let
them bring German prisoners here to
work our farms and replace our boys
who have gone to the front."
Mr. Mohr, who has two nephews in
the United States army, continues:
"It is better to put these prisoners
to work than to stop them up and feed
them. 'Bring them over here and make
them raise the stuff to feed themselves.
And, mind you, I'm willing to wger
that you'll find no lazy men among
them. Let us put their energy to some
use."
Marines Have Record Insurance
The Soth Co., regiment, U. S. ma
rines, on active service somewhere in
r ranee, is insured for $2,54a,(KX).
This undoubtedly establishes a rec
ord for individual company insurance
subscription. Of the 1255 men in the
company, 254 took out insurance for
$10,000, each, the remaining member
subscribing to a $5,000 policy.
In addition to this, 188 men of the
same company made allotments total
ing $2,830.50 for the "folks back
home.".
A Billions Attack
When you have a billious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headache. Take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach and
you will soon be as well as ever.
They only cost a quarter.
A Correction
In last week's Glacier a paragraph
of the reKirt of the primary meeting
of the Apple Growers Association, rel-
aiive to a statement oi i . . niciui
lagh about the organization's New ' Hfc
York manager, Mr. Woodruff, was '
worded that readers miht have drawn
the conclusion that Mr. McCullagh re
ferred to himself instead of Mr. Wood
ruff. The paragraph was : "Mr. Mc
Cullagh stated that he was recently :
offered a 100 or cent increase in his '
salary riy the Spokane Fruit Com
pany." This should be: "Mr. McCullagh'
stated that Mr. Woodruff, the Associa
tion's district' manager in New York,;
was offered a 100 per cent increase
over the salary now paid him by the
Apple Growers Association, by the
Spokane Fruit Company." '
SUMMING UP EVIDENCE
Many Hood River People Have Been
Called us Witnesses i
Week after week has been published j
the testimony of Hood River people
kidney sufferers, backache victims -people
who have endured many forms
of kidney, "bladder or urinary disorders, j
These witnesses have used Doan'a Kid- j
ney Pills. All have given their en-;
thusiastic approval. It's the same
everywhere. 50,000 American men and
women are publicly recommending 1
Doan's, always in the home papers. '
Isn't it a wonderful, convincing mass I
of proof? If you are a sufferer your i
verdict must be, "Try Doan's first."
Here's one more Hood River case. '
K. U. Rodger, railroad brakeman, 1301 j
Columbia street, says: "1 haven't'
hat occasion to take Doan's , Kidney j
Pills for a number of years, but, !
speaking from Jpast experience, 1
found them to be just the thing for j
backache. 1 took two boxes of Doan's I
Kidney Pills when my back was hurt-1
ing and since then, I haven't had to
use anything for backache or other
signs of kidney trouble."
Mr. Rodger is only one of many
Hood River people who have grateful
ly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your backaches, if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy, ask distinctly for Hoan's Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr. Rodger
had, the remedy backed by home testi
mony. tlO cents at all stores. Foster
