It ia hard to keep Benton county out
of the spot light At least one of the
gubernatorial candidates was bora in
Benton county and so - was one of the
candidates lor congressman, I. L. Pat
terson aspiring to be governor and W.
C. llawley, already in congress where
he has gained an enviable priority on
committees, desires to go back eain.
Mr. Patterson is a son of pioneers,
one of ten children, nil of whom are
living. There was no race suicide in
the pioneer days and the pioneers raided
sturdy, healthy children, probably be
cause they had to work ami lived on
plain, healthful food. Mr. Patterson's
lather came here across the plains in
1852. lie didn't know it then, but in
the same year there started from old
Missouri a handsome young lady with
her parents in an old fashioned prairie
seliooner, the kind that made Oregon
poss:ble. These two chanced to meet,
love and marry, snd in there was
born to them in King's Valley, Benton
county, a son, to whom, being devoutly
religious peopl", they gave tbe name
Isaac 1a'6.
There was no room on the little Inde
pendance farm for a family of ten child
ren, so when "Ike" finished his course
at Monmouth, he started out for h im
pel f. He obtained a job as clerk in a
Salem store at the munificent wage of
nothing a week and his board with the
privelege of doing the janitor work and
sleeping in the store. Being a hustler
to whom 14 hours a day had no terrors,
young Patterson was placed on a salary
before the year was up. Being frugal
and attentive to business at the end of
four years he had saved a thousand dol
lars with which he bought an interest
in the establishment, giving his note for
the remaining half interest, fie took
an active interest iu civic matters and
in 1894, when only 35 years of age, he
was elected to represent Marion County
in the senate. He was appointed col
lector of Customs for the port of Port
land by President William McKinley
and was ' afterwards reappointed by
Theodore Roosevelt, serving in all eight
years.
Mr. Patterson is a tall, well pro
portioned, dignified man with snowy
wnite nair ana aecineniy gooa looking.
As a governor or United States senator.
he would look every inch the part, lie
is, of course married, his wife, who was
Miss Marry Wood worth, has always
taken an active interest in woman's
activities and served last year as pres
ident of the daughters of the Revolution.
They have two children, both boys and
both served as volunteers in the World
war. Corvallis Gazette Times.

No Tuesday Luncheon Memorial Day
Members of the Tuesday Lunch club
voted unaniiMwJy Tuesday to cancel
the meeting for Tuesday, May 30.
Memorial day. This action was taken
in order that members might join tbeir
families and participate with veterans
of the nation a wars in an observation
of the day. The meeting of Tuesday,
May 23, will be'held at the Columbia
Gorge Hotel.
Except for Congressional Candidate
James H. Gwinn, who was present
with District Attorney Baker, no
guests were at the luncheon Tuesday.
William M. Sylvester was chairman.
He gave the members a respite for
visiting, making his talk short and
sweet. W. H. McClain will be chair
man next Tuesday when the club will
meet again at the Pheasant.
Alpine Clover Blossoms Attract
Expanses made beautiful by the
huge pink blossoms of Alpine clover
are attracting attention of motorists
who tour the Columbia River Highway
in the vicinity of Mosier. Many have
returned home with bouquets of the
clover blooms, which are very similar
in color to the Alsike blossom but
which are four and five times as large
1 he clover fields of protected copses
are very fragrant, and the blooms are
laden with nectar. They are fairly
humming, on sunny days, with bees.
(By Gordon G. Brown)
The time will soon be at hand when
potato planting will be in order, espe
cially in the Lower Valley. In the
Upper Valley, of course, the time will
be relatively later. It appears to the
writer than an unusually good oppor
tunity presents itself for the develop
ment of a potato industry in large pro
portions, especially in the Upper Val
ley. Tbe potato industry in that sec
tion has been growing for a number of
years because it is readily apparent
that the soil and climate are especially
adapted for this crop.
During recent years a new field has
opened up to the grower which may be
taken advantage of. There is a big
demand for tin use of certified seed.
The trade has been willing to pay a
premium for potatoes which have been
government inspected and passed the
teats applying to trueness to type ana
freedom from pest and disease. Last
year a great many Oregon potato
growers made application to the crop
specialist at Corvallis to have their po
tato patches certified in order that
they might be able to sell their seed at
an advanced price. The customary
practice is to inspect the field when it
is in bloom and subsequently during
the growing eason as well as at dig
ging time. The inspector as a rule
sets a very high standard of perfection
and the one who is fortunate enough to
have his field pass inspection is the
exceptional one. Last year only a
very small percentage of those who
made application had patches of suffi
cient quality to pass inspection. This
was especially so with reference to
Early Kose. This was due to the pres
ence of various diseases, insect pests,
functional troubles and lack of true
type. The presence of Black Leg,
Dwarf Mosaic, are troubles which to a
great extent contributed to the grow
ers' failure to pass inspection. Owing
to the fact that most of the growers
have had little or no experience in the
growing of certified seed, is also one
reason why only comparatively small
success has been obtained bv the grow
ers in general.
Ihe writer feels that the growing of
certified seed, especially in the Upper
Valley, is an industry certainly worth
developing upon a large scale. The
rewards for succeaful effort are much
greater than that which applies to or
dinary potato growing. The high alti
tude, soil and comparatively short and
cool growing season are factors favor
ing seed production. It is a well es
tablished fact that seed grown under
uch conditions is more viable, especi
ally, when taken to locations further
south. A long, hot and dry growing
season is more favorable for the grow
ing of seed with high germinability.
Tbe writer hopes to secure some crop
specialist from Corvallis in the near
future who will give advice covering
the production of potatoes for seed
purposes.
During the past two years the writer
has done some experimental work
bearing upon the soil fertility problem
as related to the growing of potatoes
on the red shot soils of tbe Upper Val
ley. The one big point which I shall
emphasize is the desirability, in fact
tbe almost commercial necessity of
building up the soil before planting.
As a rule, the growing of potatoes up
on new land on which clover or alfalfa
has not been grown, has not proved
profitable, principally because yields
have been too small. To a certain ex
tent the grower can substitute com
mercial fertilizer but as a rule results
are not nearly as satisfactory as wbere
lover or alfalfa has been turned un-
er. Ihe writer recalls making obser
vations upon this point last summer.
In one patch the grower had used fer
tilizer at the rate of over 1.000 pounds
per acre. This in addition to the turn-
ng under of a heavy crop or clover.
The use of fertilizer under these con
ditions gave an increase of practically
80 sacks to the acre, in direct contrast
the result in this field, the owner

Hood river steelheaJ flsbigg, accord
ing to oldtime residents, was never
better than at present. During the
past week more than 150 of the big.
gamey fish, an average length of 30
inches, have been landed by anglers.
One fisherman, alone, C. L. Mooney,
has caught 30 steelheads, several sil-
versides and a number of salmon trout.
Banks of the stream last Sunday were
lined with anglers, armed with every
variety or rod and reel imaginable.
The ran of fish, it is declared, has
resulted largely from work of the
State Fish and Game Commission, in
conjunction with the local association
and the citv of Hood River in con
structing a diversion dam at the mouth
of the local stream. Formerly Hood
river a water emptied into the Colum
bia in a number of small streams, all
of which were shallow. This delta.
it is declared, proved a barrier to the
run of game fish. The diversion dam
sent the entire flow of the river into
an old channel, which empties into the
larger river in a downstream course.
Heavy freshets last fall and winter I
scoured out the old channel, and the
waters of Hood river now flow into the
Columbia in a swift, deep current,
which has attracted the unprecedented
ran of steelheads, salmon trout and
silversides. The local stream a num
ber of years ago was declared a salm
on spawning stream, and the improve
ment of the channel at its confluence
with the Columbia is expected to bring
an unusually heavy run of chinooks
into the stream this fall.
A feature of the Sunday fishing was
the discomfiture of a party of The
Dalles anglers, who had read of the
fine catches of steelheads and who had
motored here. The men apparently
expected to go home with enough of
the big fish to astonish the natives of I
Wasco county. Instead they went
empty-handed. They characterized as
pure fable the stories that have re
cently been printed in Portland papers
about the run or steelheads.
"Such stories ought to be prohibit
ed," declared one of the anglers, nurs
ing the grouch developed by fisher
men's luck. "They apparently are in
spired in order to bring people here to
spend a few dollars buying dinners.
The disgruntled one got no sympathy
out of tbe man to whom he had been
talking. It was cited to him that
press reports had been conservative.
and that newspaper correspondents had
been criticised for their failure to give
entire accounts of recent catches by
fishermen. One man, the visitor was
told, landed nearly 100 pounds of steel
heads in less than 12 hours last week.
"The fish are here," replied the
Hood River man, "but it takes a fish
erman to catch them. Any man who
can complain and 'bellyache like you
ran will never have any success catch
ing hah.
to
used a similar amount of fertilizer in
nother field on which no green crop
was turned under. In this cute the in
crease in yields over the unfertilized
block was scarcely sufficient to pay for
the fertilizer. The lesson that we
raw from this is that green crops as
preliminary step, is highly important
nd that the better the ground is Dre
ar ed in this manner, the greater will
e the net returns on the commercial
fertilizer.
In 1U20 the writer u?ed nitrate of
soda at the rate of 313 pounds to the
ere; superphosphate at the rate oi
1,114 pound and sulphate of potash at
the rate of 261 pounds. Where all of
these fertilizers were used at this rate,
largest yields were secured. The in-
rease, however, was very little over
that hich we secured from the block
hich had nitrate of soda and super
phosphate, but no potash. In the lat
ter case the yield was 362 bushels of
good potatoes per acre, culls elim-
nated, as against 370 bushels tor the
complete fertilizer.
Last year in a practical test, nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potasn were
combined in the following proportions
upon a percentage basis: 4-8-3; 4-8-4;
8-6;6--3and 6-6-3. Highest yield
were secured Irom the block in wnicn
itrogen was used in combination with
phosphoric acid at the ratio of approx-
mutely 1-2. Une of tbe blocks rrom
hich highest yields were secured caa
total application of 500 pounds of
nitrate of soda to the acre and 1.000
pounds of superphesphate. The latter.
together with 303 pounds of nitrate,
were drilled in at seeding time and the
balance of the nitrate of soda broad
catted and harrowed in before the
plants were up. This fertilizer gave
257 sacks to the acre as against 175
sacks for the unfertilized check. Even
ith the low price of potatoes obtain
ing this year, it is evident tnat neavy
fertilization of pots toes where the
ground is properly built up with
organic matter pays.
This is one of Irv Cobb'a funniest
stories:
A temperance lecturer was giving a
talk at a church in a Scotch village.
He was demonstrating the effect of
whiskey on living organisms. A worm
was placed in a glass of water. It
wriggled gaily. It was lifted out and
dropped into a glass of whiskey. It
shriveled up and died.
An 'old Scotchman arose in the rear
of the church and asked: "Parson,
may I inquire where ye got the bever
age?"
"I was just awaiting that question,'
said the lecturer. "I secured it from
the tavern uo the street not a block
from the kirk."
"Thank ye, parson," said the canny
old man. "I will gi' the tavern keeper
a call on the morrow. I ve been
troubled with worms for two years."
Residents of Cascade Locks and
Stevenson, Wash., made the most of
the recent smelt run up the Columbia

Cascades, and many pantries have been
stocked with dried and salted fish.

Cascades, swarmed in millions at the
eddies and men, women and children.

scooped them up at will by hands or

Judge Kent was lured to the stream by
reports of sleelheiids artri salmon trout.
He caught four beautiful salmon trout.
