you the 30x354

To him USCO has al

value that he felt more
than justified in offering
his customers.
At the $10.90 price he
can hardly be blamed for
putting it to the front as
the value he would most
like to be remembered by
This much to keep in
mind
USCO has always sold
as a quality tire of known
standards and perform

Today at $10.90 it
fixes the worth of
your tire dollar at
a new maximum

PLANS FOR GRANGE
FOURTH PROGRESSING
Plana for a monster Fourth of July
celebration for residents of the mid
Columbia under auspicess of Park
Grange, the largest Grange organiza
tion of Oregon, are progressing satis
factorily, according to. County School
Superintendent Gibson, chairman of
the committee on preparations. The
celebration, to be staged in truly old
fashioned rural style, with an orator
of the day and all of the athletic
events of time honored custom, will
be held in a wooded grove in the Bar
rett district, where the Grange is
planning the construction of a large
communityjhall.
Mr. Gibson has sent invitations to
all surrounding points. As no celebra
tion will be held in the city, urban
residents have been invited to attend,
and most families of city residents
will spend the day in'the country with
the Grangers.
N. II. MacMillan, manager of the
Grange Co-operative Store, who has
charge of arrangements for the com
missary department of the Fourth of
July celebration to be staged under
auspices of the Park Grange, says that
preparations are being made for the
entertainment of a minimum of 2,000
people at the oak-covered grove in the
Barrett district.
Mr. Perigo Tries Cotton
J. W Perigo has an ambition to pro
duce some cotton fiber here. Although
the plants have been tried on former
occasions, none or the bolls have ever
reached maturity. Mr. Perigo, who
received some seed from Oklahoma,
has planted them in pots. They are
growing luxuriantly, and by late Sep
tember Mr. Perigo expects to have a
cotton picking.

Fruit prospects this year in Oregon
are, on the whole, favorable, taough
the estimated yield of apples is less
than last year, according to a commer
cial fruit estimate just issued by F. L.
Kent, agricultural statistician of the
department of agriculture, which fol
lows :
.Railroad reports of carload ship
ments of apples and pears to June 1.
1922, show that the 1921 Oregon apple
crop was considerably larger than was
fenerally estimated at harvest time,
he general fruit situation at the
present time seems to indicate, for the
192zIerop, a considerable reduction in
apples and some increase in pears over
1921. The prune crop promises a big
increase over 1921. Feaehes promise
about an average crop. Cherries will
probably be about the same as last
year, which was a year oi light pro
duction. Strawberries appear to be
fully up to the average except in a
few localities where there was rather
severe frost damage. Loganberries
indicate a considerable less yield per
acre, but new bearing acreage will
probably bring the total production
close to that of last year. Raspberries
and blackberries promise about an av
erage crop.
Carload shipments as reported for
the 1921 apple and pear crop and esti
mates of the probable 1922 carload
production of these two fruits, by dis
tricts, are as follows:
Apples Willamette valley, shipped
1921, 235, estimated 1922. S80; Rogue
and umpqua valleys, 1,291, 775; Hood
River, Wasco countieB, 3570, 3500;
Umatilla county, 790. 325; union, tia
ker, Malheur counties. 766, 665 : totals.
6,652, 6,645.
Pears Williamette valley, 16. 20;
Rogue and Umpqua valleys, 817, 900 ;
Hood Kiver, Wasco counties, 132: 140;
Umatilla county, 10, 4; Union, Baker,
Malheur counties, 11, 10; totals, 986,
1,074.
Early indications were that the pear
crop would be very heavy in 1922, the
first estimates in the Medford district
placing the crop at double that of 1921,
but there was a very heavy drop dur
ing the latter part of May in all of the
heavy producing sections. Both the
appie ana pear crops must yet go
through the "June drop, hence may
be considerably reduced from the
above estimates. It is not believed
that the actual state production will be
much in excess or the above estimates,
even with favorable growing condi
tiona.
Apples In the Willamette valley the
appie crop prospect is variously esti
mated at 60 to 75 per cent of a normal
crop.
Some young orchards are expected to
produce considerably in excess of last
year, the bloom was unusually light
on some varieties and the blooming
period was unusually short. In the
Rogue River and Umpqua district the
crop prospect appears to be about 60
per cent of normal. The Hood River
and Wasco district has a prospect of
practically as many apples as last
year, according to well-informed orch
ardists. Umatilla county had the
'worst spring frost in 15 years." and
the Milton-Freewater apple crop is
now estimated at about 40 per cent of
last year. Union county will probably
have a somewhat smaller crop than the
heavy one of last year. Baker and
Malheur promise about the same apple
crop as last year.
Pears Pear bloom was generally
heavy and the early prospect was for a
bumper crop for the state as a whole.
The fruit seemed to be set very well,
but did not "stick" in the principal
pear sections. While the Btate crop as
a whole promises to be somewhat be
low a normal one, there is prospect of
a slight; increase over last year in all
districts except Umatilla county, where
the crop was hard hit by the early May
trost.
David and George Upton, twin
brothers aged 73iand pioneers of Can
yon City, are the most disappointed
men in Hood Kiver because or meir
failure to realize on an ambition and
walk to the Grant county capital and
narticnate in the 60th anniversary of
the discovery of eold there last week.
The aged twins started to walk the
215 miles, each of them trundling in
front of him a two-wheeled push cart
loaded with camping paraphernalia.
"We had more enthusiasm than en
durance." said David Upton, "and the
enthusiasm seemed to wane atfer we
had pushed our cars to The Dalles over
the Columbia Kiver Highway, we
spent a night in The Dalles and started
back home. At Rowena, I determined
to take the train. George and I argued
the matter over considerably there sit
ting by the roadside, but he declined
to ride home. I left him sitting on a
rock watching me push my cart off
down to the railroad flag station. It
cost me $1.27 to ship that cart and my
sleeping outfit home on the express
car. while my fare was only 47 cents,
I almost wished I had listened to
George and walked back to Hood
River."
Asked why they did not make the
trip to the eastern Oregon town by
tram and stage, the twins declared
that romance of the walk and the night
camps appealed to them, and that they
were too chagrined to continue on their
way when their plans failed them.
David Upton is a rug maker here. His
twin brother as a record as a woodcut
ter. He has no hesitancy in attacking
a 20-cord pile of wood with a buck
saw.

New Dodge Truck is Delivered.
The illustration above shows the firBt
of the New Dodge Brothers Trucks to
be sold in Hood Rivor County. The
Truck is of 1J ton capacity and was re
cently delivered by Bennett Brothers to
J. C. Diamond, superintendent of the
Humphrey Barton Ranch at Oak Grove.
This tiuck is a recent addition to the
Dodge Brothers line, which has in the
past included only passenger and light
delivery cars. Judging from the inter
est being shown, nnett Brothers are
of the opinion that the truck will prove
popular. The standard Dodge Brothers
power plant is used. During the past
week Krussow Brothers of Pine Grove
bought one of these trucks.

Last Sunday was the beginning of I
the second three months' cash prize!
competition, and a number of the boys
did not come because they thought the
high water would prevent the shoot
ing, but they did not know that we
can do most anything if we want to,
and we did shoot even if we did have
to stop between each squad and bail
the water out of the trap house. Four
out-of-town shooters were here to try
their luck over our trap, and in spite
of wind and other difficulties the scores
were very good. The scores for the
prize shoot are as follows :

Insect Destroys Vine Maples
The Experiment Station has been
asked to investigate the destruction of
vine maple groves on the headwaters
of the West Fork of Hood river. W.
J. Baker, who has a summer camp at
the confluence of the Lake Branch and
West Fork, says some kind of an in
sect is riddling the trees, which grow
in profusion in the neighborhood.
"The leaves are entirely consumed,"
says Mr. Baker, "and the trees will
apparently die, if thus denuded. We
fear also that the avaricious pests may
attack the wild blackberries and huck
leberry tracts of this area. The berry
crops, unless ruined by pests, will pro
duce thousands of gallons of fruit this
year."
Radio Pots Boys to Sleep
"If you want to get the children to
bed early," says E. E. Brett, "just
get a radio. "It certainly works at
our house. The other night our four
and a half-year old son, Raymond, and
a neighbor boy, Joe Naumes, were
playing around the house. I had to
leave on business and Mrs. Brett was
busy about the house. The boys were
given the head phones, rretty soon
my wife telephoned me that she had
found the boys sound asleep on the
lounge. They had nodded off into
dreamland while listening to a con
cert."
Mysterious Cruisers in Forest
Two men. A, Kelly and Thomas Del-
fel, of Seattle, have won the name.
"The Mysterious Cruisers." by their
activities on the Upper West Fork of
Hood river. The men have just broken
camp after spending two weeks cruis
ing a body of privately owned timber
at the edge of the Oregon National
Forest. The men declare that they
haven't the slightest conception t
what their work means. They declare
they were employed by a cruising out
fit to canvass the timber of certain
sections of land but that they did not
know for whom they were working.
