Sargent, Hood Hlvor, handles 2f acres, trees having been ton to twonty years bearing. Last year thoro woro almost nono but wormy 'tipples, turning off nothing hut mill product. This year 3,000 boxes of perfect apples have been produced, at $2.00 to $3.00 por box.

Their laud Is out live miles from the town of Hood Hlvor, Thoy estimate that thoro was not this yenr a box of wormy applos on tholr place. Mrt Sargent had 21 boxes on display. Sovoral growors .promised to send us hiimple boxes of apples iiud If thoy come In ,wo shall put them on tils play. At tho Hood Hlvor fair woro quite a number of Marlon county men. I noticed C. I Lansing of tho Qua ker Xti morion, who was honored with 1 Judging the apples, Wm. Egnn, Alex l.nKolletto, Clydo LuFollotto, and ' MosBrs. Aspluwall and Townsond. I Wo wont up uu the lllggs local, tho lino now train lately put on by tho ' O. H. it 2S Co., which gives excollont tier vice, Thoro are several other trains per day each way, and a dally I train on the Mt. Hood railway. ' From Hood Hlvor to The Dalles Is a lino ride. Wo wont up In tho ovon Ing on the Spoucor, a largo inde pendent boat. At Tho Dalles wo (stopped at tho Umatilla Houso, a hue old hotel that was consldorod Quito 'palatial In Its day. Wo had two rooms, as rooms with two beds woro 'all taken. Tho room my wife and I little girl woro In had for part of Its furniture a murhlo-toppod pulpit desk. 1 told her she might look for tho minister during Uio night, but ho did not como. At Tho Dalles thoro nro signs of ,llte and progress that mark this cltv for tho metropolis of eastern Ore gon. At the end of lower Columbia navigation, nnd at tho beginning of tho transportation routes loading in to the upper rlvor region's of Idaho nnd Washington, Tho Dalles U gain ing In importance. With six to elKht thousand population, and an Immense wool nnd grain trade, this city has n substantial basis of busi ness. A street Is being opened that lq blasted through solid rock nnd a rock crusher Is preparing the ma terial for paving tho streets. Thoro Is a largo element of Gorman popu datlon. Tho O.

'Also met Postmaster Hostetler, formerly of Salem. Went upito the club room with Representative New oil and Prof. Cordley, of tho'statae Agricultural college. riayeu me two nt billiards and bent them, and then iN'ewell beat Cordley. Tho only other visitor to the club, which Is a la. go and elegant place, was young Haines, who cloilnd for Oscar John son. , Ho Is galr'iran- hero In a clothing house, U very gentleman ly In nppenraricf, nnd I was pleased to sco that he trcklcd tho reading loom inntiad of the card tables. Wo :ulled out of Tho Dalles tho next morning at svon, the two op-uf-sltlon boats .casting off together. The Kellogg was loaded light and go the right of way In close to the north bank, passing us with tooting of whistles and cheering of crew. Hut tlitf Spencer soon overtook them and when wo were through broak fast was tho little girl said throo blockB behind. Before wo reached Hood River wo took on a bunch of fat cattle and tho Kellog passed us again. It was a beautiful raco most of tho way down, the Spencer being tho faster boat, but carrying 700 tons of wheat taken on at tho big eddy abovo Tho Dnlles. For the first time I saw, young women drink whisky straight at tho bnr. Tho nlcohollc young women In a public plnco was a now ono to mo. As a rulo In tho west vice and dissipation nro confined to tho most Ignorant, and these girls looked as though thoy had sovoral bunches of education coming to them. They were from somo sound city nnd had not enjoyed mnny advantages. Thoro wore harvesters on board returning to Portland from eastern "Washing ton, whero thoy wont In July and got $2.50 to $5 por day. These men got this wngo and board, the highest prlco being pnld to derrick forkers and sack sowers. These men nro bronzed and brnwny and a satisfaction to bohold. Most or them go homo with a sack of ,monoy. Mnny laborers woro on board with mules nnd othor equipments to work on tho North Hnnk rullrond. Tho Hill road has n forco of mon every mllo, with boarding houses, engines And steam drilling plants at tho rock cuts. I counted four tunnols In a quarter of a mile. At Lyle thoro Is n tunnol n mllo long. Thoro nro no trestlos and all nils havo a solid rock coping to tho wator. Tho steamor Chas. F. Spencer win built by Cnpt. K. W. Sponcor. of Portlnnd, for his son who Is first olllcor. This Is tho fourth year of this ludepoudont boat, that first did a towing business. Jacob Knmm, the Regulator lino and tho O. H. & N. boats, united to drlvo It off tho river. Hut Spencer wns In the steamboat business from tho tlmo ho began us a cabin boy on tho Ohio rlvor at tho ago of elovon nnd was not to bo run off tho rlvor without n tight. Ho cut his towboat In two, lougthonod her out forty foet, put In faster machinery and oil burners, and went nftor tho passenger busi ness. Passengor fnres wont down to 25 cents, and livestock to $5 a car load. Tho first year tho Spencer lost $500, next year $7000, but tho last two yours sho has made monoy rapidly. Faros to Tho Dnlles aro $1.50 and a carload of cattle pays $25 to $30. Meals are GO cents nnd the sorvlco Is excellent. Tho O. It. & N. tracks aro being strnlghtonod litis take plare of trostlcs, and steel bridges in place of wood and Iron. Those wator lovol railroads aro tho greatest freight roads In the world. Wo saw ono O, H. & N. engine snak ing 71 cars, mostly loadod. The limit Is 72 nnd ns tho lone train dragged bosldo tho wator's odgo It was n lltoral boa-constrictor of com merce. Tho scenery on tho Columbia gives tho constant Impression of floating on tho glassy surface of n dark blue lake, with a run of mountains en closing tho water and mirrored In Its shinning glassy bosom. At almost any place thoro are several Islands dotting tho river like little floating castles. Somo of them have summer cottages. Memaloose Island with Its monumont to Vic. Trlvctt, tho friend of tho Indians. Hlalock's Inland, colo brntod fur Its rabbit hunts, Mt. Hood with tho siiowpeaU of that namo tow ering behind tho city, are objects of grunt Interest to tho traveler. On almost every steamer are tourists from ull parts of tho country Tho sceuury of tho Columbia Is becoming world-famed and will In tlmo become ouo of tho greatest assets of tho transportation companies To go ono whj by roll ami tho other way by boat la a popular combination with tourists. In summer tho steamor Spencer makes the round trip ovory day. A part) of 'Frisco society peoplo on boartf we-ro very gay, the lad lea thlnkloj nothing nt taking tkelr drinks and smoking wth tho mon, as It seemed to tie tklr CHttew ud wtkUg tount o( jit.

Coming down was a Salem German. John Muehl, who owns 480 acres of land near Davenport. Ho was bringing along two horses. In the Big Bnd coun try both hay and grain were very short this year, shortest crops ever known but enough to keep people and stock from starving. Still there must have been good crops up there somewhoro by the number of harvest hands returning.. There Is a striking contrast be tween the landscape on the north and south banks of the Columbia. On the south shore the walls of the ennyon are nlmost a solid mass of dark green. On tho north shore are many bare rocky mountains. The lower hills aro timbered. Evergreens dot the great rock slides, forming parks that almost stand on edge. Tho crag3 and walls are silvery gray, tho slopes are mpttled with yellow and red by clusters of maples and ash. Tho shaded rock-walls have dark green lichens, and the willows on the bottoms are a silvery olive green. On tho south banks are great spaces of brown, while over all canyons and on receding mountains hang delicate veils of azure mist, deepening Into blues most fairylike nnfl translucent. Tho river Is too big, tho canyon too grand, nnd the mountains too high to ever have Its beauty marred by smoke of factories or burning oil. It Is tho opinion of tho fishermen that I talked with that oil escaping on tho wator from stoamcr3, brick nnd tlio factories and creosotlng works was driving the fish out of tho river. I saw many traces of oil on tho water, wherever It comes from. Fishermen on the Columbia mostly say that traps, wheels and seining should be for bidden by law. If glll-nettlng alone woro allowed under a stiff license tho salmon would never bo killed off. Fishermen all say tho runs of fish nro stendlly declining. It Is a fact that any othor system of taking fish for commorclnl purposes Is destruc tive to small fish on a largo scale. In tho traits tho big fish thresh thousands of small salmon to death. Tho seines kill thousands. Tho wheels do tho same. I havo heard no practical fishermen shy tills of tho gill-net. Lyle, Wnshv Is whoro tho railroad runs up to Goldondalo. ..The Hill road has bought this branch and the townslto and will put on tho market soon. Thoro Is n big lot of fruit land here. Hough Innd can be bought for $10 an acre. It can bo cleared for $50 nn acre, and will grow strawborrles, peaches and grapes, besides all tho fruit that Hood River will grow. Tho Holmes Canning company, Thos. Hnlfour, and L. I). Oakos are putting.out fruit orchnrds. T. H. Coon has 1G0 acres. Robot Whltcomb Is n big grower. This side of the river v.lll grow grapos and peaches and highly colored fruit. Just ns Its hills and mountains nro more highly colored, Its foliage more brilliant, so there Is a dlfforont clnss of fruits posslblo to be grown. I am told that tho tlnost kind of Tokay grapos, bunchos that weigh pounds aro grown here. I know that oach valloy of the Co lumbia Is dlfforont. All know that at Tho Hallos tons nnd tons of tho finest muskmelons are grown. No othor place can produce them. So I tlguro that Lyle nnd othor places on tho Columbia will become fam ous for some specialty. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. McGee, of Madras, Crook county, camo down with us nnd Mrs. McGeo, who was Mrs. Gllmnro of Salem, wont to Portland to visit her two daughters. Ono of thorn wns Mrytlo Gllmore, a Journal offlco employe, now Mrs. Lewis ami mother of a four-weeks old boy.
