Since Peter Kopke sold his place last
fall, on the East Side, TO Sproat
Bros, he has been taking the world
easier than usual. Since removing to
the little place which he bought from
Abner Cox, he has twice visited a mar
ried daughter living in Oakland, Cal,
and is just now welding paint brush on
h. +. Harbison's house, painting being
trade which he learned before he took
up farming. Mr. kopke went to sea
while boy and followed it for 20 years
During that time he circumnavigated
the world several times and visited all
the leading ports Of the world, At the
time of our civil war he enlistsd in Uncle
Sans navy and served two years in
West India waters, taking a hand in
many a hot contest with the blockade
runners that irequented those parts.
0. X. Downs, the old soldier from
Forest Grove, is again here with his pop
corn roaster. Mr.. Downs landed with
his goods from the boat Saturday. He
did not put up his tent but piled his
goods behind a pile of strawberry crates
at the boat landing and slept by them.
Sunday morning about o'clock, three
young men came along looking to see
what they could pick up. One OF them
found his peanut sack but didn't see
Downs. "Hello, boys" he cried out in
great glee, "I've struck 5a whole
sack OF peanuts and won't do n
thing to them" "That's right
Young man." said Downs, as his
tall form raised up, always tell the
truth" The young fellow jumped back
10 quickly he nearly fell in the river
About 1900 crates of strawberries
we're shipped from Hood River on Tues
day. Wednesday evening the Davidson
Fruit Co. and the Union shipped the
first carload. Portland took about one
third of the shipments for Tuesday,

East. The price, Wednesday, was s2.65
