The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1899-09-29


Hon. Emile schanno, fruit commits
sioner of this district, and wife, made a
visit TO Hood River Wednesday, and
gave the GLACIER sanctum a pleasant
call. During the day they drove out
through the valley and inspected several
orchards. Mr.. Shanno saws this long
spell Of warm weather will cause the
Goblin moth to be at work and that fruit
growers should be on the alert and keep
the spray pump going. He found some
orchards in good shape, where there will
be little or no loss from the work of the
Goblin moth, while other orchards he
finds have been neglected. He cites
Judge Bennett at The Dalles to show
how it pays to care for trees. Former
proprietors OF Judge Bennett's fruit
farm always lost money, while the Judge
has made it pay and hires all his work
done The present season he shipped
three carloads of peach plums and
prunes and received so cents crate on
board the cars. Judge BENEFITS place
has cleared for him SO far the present
season about $4,000, and he has part of
his prune crop and his winter apples
yet TO market

while driving to his home, about two
miles south of town, Mr.. Stranahan says
the wounded man did not seem to real

dustrious OF Hood River citizens and

The first number of the Hood River
Sun shone out Wednesday evening. 1t

graphically Mr.. Shut, in his salut-
atory, defines his position politically as
follows In national politics we are,
and will be, republican. We both
worked for and voted for Mckinley at
our last election. We believe in sound
money-the gold standard. We are in
favor OF national expansion and holding
the Philippines" Here's our E&r.
neighbor. Though we do not alto
gether agree in politics, may we success
iully labor for the upbuilding Of Hood
River till the question of whether there
is room enough for two of us will not be
in doubt.
