Gar . deners of this section are already mar keting *a varied assortment of stuff, in cluding asparagus, splnaeh, rhubarb and radtebra. Local grocers declare i that tbe early white icicle radtehea i that are being marketed here by Fred I Tooley, of Rowena, are of a finer qual ity than usual. The acreage of potatoes in this sec tion, it is anticipated, will be increased I this year. The application of the anti Japanese land holding law in Califor nia, according to tbe word brought here by California pototo dealers, will decrease the potato acreage in that state materially this year. As a naulUof the exodus of Jspanese, it is declared, potato prices have already shown a considerable jump here. i. t.

MURPHY, Dentist “After the country was wrested from the Kaffirs, prosperity followed fsrming which was begun in pioneer style, like that in Oregon about 50 years ago:- A few cases of foot and mouth disease broke out occasionally, but the country being well stocked with cattle, no notice was taken of it. Then a great drouth struck the coun try. No rain fell for five or six months. Then of a sudden, so to speak, overnight, the plague, called by the Boers, Rinder-Pest, broke out amongst tbe cattle. The breed of the latter was of good class. The Lukus have a tradition that they came from northern Africa and were descendants <>f ths Arabs, and naturally they took great pride In their animate. "Stringent measnres were at once adopted by the whites, and all infect ed animate were shot and their car- i-assea burned. In spite of this the disease could not be restrained. Some days It mysteriously jumped 20 and 30 miles ever the quarantined areas and broke out with renewed fury. Then the theory was advanced that the testae fly, which breeds In the neck of big game, carried tbe virus. How ever,'any horsefly which might have alighted on a carcass or .infected animal might have carried the germ. Any cattleman will agree that cows, after all, are dean animals and very sensitive to certain surroundings. As Is well known, there existed an old feud between cattle and sheep men. "The Kaffirs were not at first affect ed by the disease. Then all of a sud den tbs sleeping sickness stalked them. It killed them by the thousands. i the wrHer him- White people were rarely was attacked. When atung, as kind tbe of wr( malarial fever self one day, a L.__ . developed, something like influenza. "The whites thought they would stamp the disease out. The savage Matabeles. "however, told by their witch doctors that the whites bad brought the disease'into the country, rose In rebellion snd killed everybody they could find In tbe outlying dis tricts. Little hews of these butcheries was allowed to leak out by the Char tered Compuiry. Tbe disease had by this time swept the country clear of domestic animate The once fertile land, with its many military kraals, surrounded by fields of Kaffir and In dian corn, became a complete desert. The rivers dried up. The remaining water holes became poisoned, and withal the picture was a dismal one. "I had a 9,000 acre cattle ranch, and I had to kill all of my animals. I was well acquainted with the big game hnntera, Including Colenbrander and Cunningham. I agreed with them that the disease was first. In all like lihood, the regular foot and mouth disease, which was aggravated by the drouth, carelessness. By allowing the sick animals to mingle with big game resulted in the dreadful Rinder-Pest, Tlie adjoining state, the Boer Repub lic Transvaal, made stringent laws nnd kept the disease out of their coun try. This waa made comparatively easy, as the railroad had not lx>en completed to Matabeleland and a boundary of hundreds of miles of bush veld gave the patrolling Boers a good chance to stop any rustlers who might lx? foollqh enough to call down on theinselvdl^ the wrnth of cattlemen like the Transvaal Boers. The sleep ing sickness amongst the Boers, ac cording to reports, te not yet entirely wiped out. "The Pacific coast region, especially Oregon and Washington, wijh their rAinfall and their splendid ’ grazing facilities, need have no fear of any cattle plague breaking out. How much sickness spread amongst domes tic and sometimes wild animate will very likely remain a mystery. It be- hooves tlie cattle men to lx* on their guard. If they act ruthlessly in their fight against the. disease, there is no reason why, in this rich country of the states, tbe disease cannot be soon stumped out."

Following the drying east wind that prevailed from the east, the tinderlike forests were fired In varioua places. On Neal creek, where It was necessary to send a crew of 26 men, who were aided by’ the big motor fire truck of the city, a fire threatened green forests and several hundred cords of wood. In the Upper Valley, west of Parkdale, brush fires got be yond control and caused a worry for some time. Fires In tbe vicinity of Trout creek caused ranchera alarm. It i was feared that houses might be destroyed. Several fires were started in 'Klick- itat and Skamania counties, Washing- ton. The worst was on Wind river, where crews were called out by forest ry officiate to quell a blaze threatening a body of green timber. The wind changed to the west Sun day night, ending danger of further blazes for a time. The continuation of the strong east wind left the humid ity of the mid-Columbla unusually low < for this season of the year- Fires in the forest of the Northwest were gen eral and much damage waa caused. Why We Patronize Home Industry My home town paper’s ads I scan For bargains offered by each man, Who keeps a store in this live town. His goods are all of high renown; The price Is cheap; the weights are right; He’s on the job both day and night. That’s why I never send my cash To mat) order houses for their trash, But spend It here where I can see The benefits it brings to me. Our home town merchants pave each street; Their taxes built our schools complete. So when my buildings need a coat of tan,, 1 patronize our Home Paint Man; And all things else—Lumber, Cement and 'Fuel, I buy at the Tum-A-Lum, I am no fool. BALL PLAYERS WIN BUT GOLFERS LOSE Two Ilood River teams returned home Sunday evening after Invading The Italics, one victorious and the other defeated. The Hood River baseball team was able to register a 3 to 1 victory over The Dalles nine, while the golf team from the llood River Country club came back with the small end of a 81 to 4 score..... The defeat of The Dalles nine by Ilood River probably eliminates Tbe Dalles as a pennant contender, as two losses to Hood River and one to Was co have thus far been encountered. Was<*o at present has the beat chance for pennant honors. Sunday's golf match was between two 12-man teams, and la the third time that The Dalles golfers have de feated Hood River. Only otfe out of the 12 Individual matchea was won by the locals. It is expected that a similar match will be played over the Hood River course shortly.

Art and Music Rubber Stamp Ink at Glacier Office i » 1924 INTERESTING DATA - ON CATTLE DISEASE With their fairly heavy rainfall and green pasture laud, Oregon and Wash ington, according to A. Dester, local man, who was formerly a rancher ef Rhodesia, South Africa, need have no fear of serious consequences from the foot and mouth disease among domes- tic animals. Mr. Pester, however, ad vises tbe application of strict quaran tine against California livestock and agricultural products, in order to bring the disease under coutrol. Mr. Pester, tbe author of two books, dealing with bis African explorations, one on big game of South Africa and the other concerning the ancient work ings of tbe Queen, Sheba mines in Rho desia, recalls that the dread disease struck Rhodesia some 23 years ago. He says: • "The interest the population of the Pacific coast is now taking in the foot and mouth disease may not make it Iauilss to recall some of the incidents •f the great African plague in the days of the ('bartered Company of Rhodesia. I am one of the few men still alive, of tbe 400 who went from Mashonaland to Matabeleland to pun ish King Lobengote for murders com mitted on white traders. * Í— ÿk i HOOD RIVER GLACIER.
