Smoke a Oisinfectant.

We referred some time since 10 the re-
vivsi OF the opinion that tobacco smoke
is disinfsctant. This WIS the old inn
preston, which scientific men, amer some
investigation, decided % be entirely false.
But this is an age Of revivals, and science
is beginning 70 dnd that it has sometimes
spoken in haste. This seems % be the
case with the superstition" about the
possession BY tobacco smoke Of disinfect-
ing powers There IS basis Of scientif-
ic fact which tends TO bear out that claim.
some scientific and medical journals have
lately published an account Of some ex-
periments by SIR. v Tassinari. which
were devised in order to put the qnes-
ton TO a further and decisive test

WANTED. CORRESPONDENTS.

We want a good live correspondent in
each section of the valley as well as
from the Cascade locks and the White
Salmon region. 1t is impossible for us
to give the news from every section un-
less some one will send it to us, and as
our acquaintance in those neighborhoods
is very limited we find it difficult to
make arrangements for getting the local
happenings. Communications should
reach US by Thursday night to insure
publication, and they should be signed
by the parties sending them. The name
of the contributor will not be made
known if thus desired but it is necessary
for us to know from whom we receive
contributions. Send along your items

The proprietors of The Dalles Trunk
Factory who use pine from the head
waters of Hood River in their trunk
bodies, pronounce it the best lumber for
the purpose in the United States. The
Phillips Bros, who are interested in the
factory, have worked at the trade for
years, and their opinion is certainly en-
titled to weight. It's principal point of
excellence is the fact that it will not
split and from this cause much larger
nails can be used in fastening the pieces
together. This fact suggests the advisa-
bility OF starting box factory here, and
no doubt this will be done when the
saw mills are in operation.

operation with U. S. Signal Service,
central office, Portland, Oregon. For
week ending July 2S, 1889.
The temperature for the week has
been very decidedly above the normal.
A continued hot waye seems to have
oyerspread the state east OF the coast
ranges. No rainfall is reported except
an occasional shower or cloudburst; (;
there has been no good rain in the state
since May 10, and the last three days OF
June when light showers were generally
experienced, benefting some crops.
The sunshine continues to be above the
normal, few clouds being at all visible.
Smoke from forest fires prevails over
the larger portion OF the state to a ccr-
tain extent obscuring the sun but not
giving the cooling effects caused by
clouds.
Grains are too far advanced to be in
any way affected by the weather. Gen.
eral reports indicate small yield per
acre but owing to the increased acreage
the amount for shipment will exceed
that Of any former year. In some places

injured slightly by the long continued
warm, dry weather. Many thousands
of acres will however yield 80 to 80
bushels to the acre.
The Willamette valley will yield the
best wheat crop in Western Oregon and
the Grande Ronde valley the best in
Eastern Oregon. In the Umpqua val
ley in Southwestern Oregon and in the
southeastern part OF Umatilla county
the wheat crop will also be good. The
southeastern part of Jackson county and
in Klamath, Lane, Wasco, Sherman,
Gillian and Crook counties the crop will
be poor, though even in these counties
there are favorable localities where 40
bushels to the acre will be gathered.
Though considerable wheat has been al.
ready sacked only small amounts are
being delivered or offered for sale AT
Albany the market opened at go cents
bushel. This may be the price for aver
age wheat in the valley. In Eastern
Oregon the price will be from 4S to "a
cents per bushel according to locality
and quality. Mhese prices are the best
that wheat buyers will offer at the pres.
ent time. B. S. PAGUE,

WATER FROM HOOD RIVER.


The water question should be settled
and settled at once. That the town will
have to bring in supply for next year
ia certain, and that the farmers will be
immensely benefited by having an
abundance of water is equally certain.
The town can get water very easily by
going three or four miles, hut II the
farmers will unite in bringing ditcn
through the valley it will be better per-
haps for all parties to take an interest
in this plan. A ditch and fume from
some point near the forks Of the river
would bring the water out into the val
ley, and once out OF the canyon it can be
conveyed in almost any direction. We
are unacquainted with the ground, and
would therefore like to hear the opinion
OF those who are. Let US agitate the
matter now and once agreeing upon the
matter call mass meeting aud take
steps toward beginning the work. A
good irrigating canal through the valley
will double the value of every piece OF
land adjacent TO it, and will enable us
to raise abundant crops OF clover and
alfalfa. Let us hear from vou, gentle
.nar.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1889-08-03

BY this time next year old residents
will hardly know the place. By that
time it is probable dam will have been
thrown across the river near the county
bridge, and big saw mill will be in
operation near it. The town will have
a population of eight hundred, and it is
probable that second mill will be in
operation below the depot. Then big
ditch will have been completed the en-
tire length OF the valley, and two or
three four horse coaches will be leaving
every day for the glaciers. Hundreds
of acres will be cleared and set out in
orchards, and in the near future the
roads will be lined in the evenings with
teams bringing fruit to the railroad.
Hood River has no boom nor does it
want one, but its merits are becoming
known and nothing short of vigilance

A Dudes Dexterous Feat.

The other night five or six young men
Of the listless, self-suficient variety SO
familiar just now dined together in
private room at fashionable restaurant.
After cigars had been lighted one OF
them drawled:
"I'll bet, fellows, that I can throw this
knife, and it will stick in the crack OF
that door every time.
He rose from the table and pointed out
the narrow crack between the door and
the jamb, and showed how he proposed
TO place the knife. The five others ap.
preached the place and cried out: "We
take that bet. For how much2"
81 am to have ten throws. Each time

himself in his. room, and, far from pryina

the curve, but his perseverance was in
