Eugene Fields Portrait of Debs.

The newspaper portraits of E.V. Debs
are not accurate. They represent him
as fat and sleek, and he is not. Debs is
tall, blue eyed, pale, smooth shaven
and inclined to badness He looks very
like Bill Nye. and the fact that he
wears spectacles emphasizes the resem-
blance. He dresses very plainly, but
neatly. He talks fuently, he is an ON
nivorous reader, and he particularly
likes poetry. OF address he is candid
and cordial. He has to a degree that
quality called personal magnetism. Five
minutes with him would suffice, we
think, to convince a reader of human
nature that Debs is man of high ideas,
honest convictions, answering integ-
rity, great intellectual vigor Tor per-
haps, rather, zeaD, exceptional simplici-
ty of character and consummate i'm
practicability. His traits are those, we
believe, which, taken singly, are most
admirable, but which, punched, are very
likely to get him into trouble. Chicago

Information For the Examiuers.

The Hon. Champ Clark, formerly Of
Kentucky, has no respect for the civil
service laws, and he does not hesitate
to say SO. as was indicated by his Wig
orous speech in the house the other day.
In the course of his remarks he made a
general assault on the civil service
system, which, he declared, was the
most monumental fraud of the century.
"Not 10 men in this house," said he,
could stand an examination for 5000
clerkship. Why, they asked one man
how many British soldiers were sent
over here during the revolution. The
applicant replied that he did not know
the exact number, but he knew a id
sight more came over than went back. +"

APPLES BETTER THAN WHEAT.


Some Startling Figuring Done by an En-
thusiastic Oregon Editor.
That it will not do to put all of ones
eggs in one basket has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the berry crop this sea-
son. With thousands of crates ripe the
ability to reach market is without any
fault of ours suddenly taken away. The
strawberry crop has been the principal
one Of this section, and while it will not
only hold its present yield, but will
double and treble it, it will in year or
two become of secondary Importance.
Prunes, peaches, cherries and small
fruits generally are a necessity to the
fruitgrower because they furnish him
with money early in the season as we'll
as early in his business They are a
means to an end, furnishing money to
support the family and to improve the
farms They all bear one fatal objection
as crop to. be relied upon, and that is
the absolute necessity of finding mar
ket for them as soon as they are ripe.
This may not be true of the prune, but
for it the same condition exists-it must
be taken care of at once. when ripe.
The fruit of Hood River, the one that
is to make her famous as we'll as pros
porous, is the winter apple. That can
be kept. 1t can be gathered leisurely,

first year of bearing, produced more net
money than would or could have been
derived from the same area of land
sown to wheat in SO years. This year it
should yield 80 times as much, next
year 10 times as much, and then for 90
years 100 times as much. In other
words, one acre of winter apples is
worth more, year in and year out, than
100 acres of wheat Six acres of good
orchard will yield larger net yield
than section of wheat land. Multiply
the acres in Hood River valley by 100
and some idea of the wealth that it will
eventually produce may be gained.
In other words, every section in fruit
will produce cash value equal to three
townships of wheat. The winter apple
is going to accomplish this result, and
the next few years as the young or
chards come into bearing will prove the
truth of this assertion, though it now
seems wild one We can but reiterate
our former words: "Plant apple trees.
Twenty acres if you can; one tree if that
is your limit, but plant at every oppor-
tunity." When this valley is an orchard
from the mills to the summit east of us
and from the river back for 30 miles,
then only will it have attained it's full
development. Hood River (Or.) Gla-

oEFYiNe THE DOG DAYS.

Mechanical Processes Employed to Make
Winter Temperature This Summer.
The effort to bring the advantages Of
refrigeration obtained by mechanical
processes within the reach of small con-
sumers has taken two directions--the
production of small and inexpensive au-
tomato machines and system of sup
ply Of the refrigerant from central sta
tions. The latter is now in successful
operation at both ST. Louis and Denver.
In one of the st. Louis restaurants,
which the enterprising owner has deco
rated in a manner suggestive of the
polar regions, pipes upon the walls are
connected with the street line, SO that
in sweltering summer he can turn on
the cold and defy the dog days. An at
mosphere of 10 degrees below the tenn
perature out of doors has an enticing
GOODNESS.
Another example of the varied appli-
cations of the system to be seen in a
cafe window daily is a display of eat
ables upon heavily frosted table, This
attraction is secured by making for the
top OF the table shallow closed tank
completely filled with brine, through
which are passed the pipes of refriger-
ating coil. The brine, being cooled be-
low the freezing point, gathers its snowy
covering from the moisture of the at
mosphere. Above it in the window are
pipes curved to form the letters of the
proprietor's name. They, too, constitute
an expansion coil and glisten with a
heavy, snowy coat. In drug store an
elaborate soda fountain exposes not the
customary pictures of frostwork, but
real frost. The refrigerating pipes are
ingeniously carried through this foun-
tain in such way as to cool without
danger of freezing the various liquids
and are exposed to view in places curved
in fanciful shapes and presenting re-
freshing sight of dry white frost. w.

A representative of the Oregon City
Enterprise visited Mr.. A. N. Tompkins,
the well-known carpenter and builder
of Oregon City, and finding him hard
at work, asked if he was the man who
had been i'll of rheumatism. Receiv-
ing an affirmative answer, the reporter
asked if he would have any objections
to making statement of his case, how
he was cured, etc., for the benefit of
the public.
"No objections at all,'' said Mr..

lumbago for years, having had bad
spells off and on. Sometimes it would
lay me up entirely. Whenever I did
any heavy lifting, or got wet or caught
cold, would have bad spell. Some

not straighten up. was always look

count for certain relief, if not absolute

enough to admit. ALI these medicines
and doctors did me no good, some even
as in this case, doing me harm.
while working on the Barclay
building some months ago I had an at
tack. Immediately went to Chairman

man to give me box of Pink Pills.
Having bought them commenced tax
ing them at once, and after the first
day experienced relief, and in two
weeks was entirely well. had in
that time used part of the second box.

law, Mrs. Lena Tompkins, and hearing
her complain of rheumatism, 1 gave
her the balance.

and in spite of the present wet weather
and the fact that l have heavy cold
just now, l have no indication of the
presence of my old disease, and any
one of the three things (heavy work,

have combined, would have given me
bad spell heretofore. I consider DIR.
