a{ood River Glacier
FRIDAY, MARCH IA, 1902.

IED an address before the Newberg
fruit growers, Colonel Hofer of the Sa-
lem Journal told them this:
Last yeG the Salem growers cleared
from $125 to $500 per acre ON Gheir
strawberry crop, while Hood River real
lied net profit OF $400. One quart is
the average yield Of plant for one sea-
son. Planted three feet apart each way,
the plants count 800 to the acre. This
yields an average crop of 200 crates to
the acre for five years. Returns are
easily estimated from this basis, as
growers are certain OF receiving from 81
to 81 per crate for their berries shipped,
and never receive less than cents per
pound for culls at the cahnery, which
means rs cents per crate. Cost Of pro-
duction is little, the farming is light,
and the profits are satisfactory and sure.
This statement may be misleading in
regard to Hood River. Some few early
places in Hood River and White Salmon
may have realized net profit Of $500 an
acre, or even more, but we don't claim
that as the average. One hundred and
fifty crates of strawberries is fair crop
to the acre in Hood River.

wire and nails have been placed in the
basement, and 1t is quite probable that
c. e. Hughson will be able to keep his
promise that the company will be in The
building Jan. 10. Much remains to be
in the Tolerton & Stetson building.
The basement floors are being cement-
ed, the stairways have not been con-
structed, and much of the flooring is to
be laid. 1t is figured that during
1901 the local plants of Cudahy and Ar
mour have paid s13. $50, 900 for the hogs
they killed. and $3.40o.000 for cattle,
making a total of SIT, $50, 900. During 1900
1t is estimated the payment for hogs for
local slaughter a $40, 800, 900 and for
cattle $1,000, 900. a total of s12, 400, 600.
This would indicate an increase of 81
5000 the past year.. or more than 3S per
cent, in the cash outlay of the packers
for these two items. The increase in the
amount paid for sheep has been in keep
ing with cattle and hogs.

Lord Rosebery's Famous Speech Is
sued in Book Form.
London, Jan. 2.-Lord Rosebery's fa-
nous Chesterfield speech has been is
sued in book form, with the following
interesting PREDATORY note by the au-
thor:
Il publish this with much reluctance,
for it is not a speech. but a skeleton.
In the ordinary limits of such occasion,
even tho in this instance I shamelessly
exceeded the allowed time. there is no
time to expend or to clothe, so hat it
is only a bare %colloquial statement.
Such as it is, however, l must issue 1T
myself, or 1T would be printed by others
without even the mild supervision that
/ can afford. Let me say another word
of the policy of the speech, as apart
from 1t form. That policy appears to
have received a large need Of general
approval. but politicat opinion, to be eff
f~ective, must be organized. Political
energy must work inc intrench. / want
some Of this spadework on behalf of
this policy, or else the wave of popular
adhesion will be lost in space"
The only conclusion hat can reason
ably be drawn from this note is that,
in spite of all statements to the con-
trary, Lord Rosebery intends to follow
up the advantage that he secured at
Chesterfield. 1t is noteworthy tibet his
speech is published not as a liberal pol
icy but as q rational policy.

OF the women. Before the recipient had
recovered from her surprise there was
an unseemly scramble upon the part OF
| the other women to secure some OF these
orchids.
Good breeding was cast entirely aside,
and those who desired the flowers dis
pensed with the formality of asking for
them and began tearing the bouquet to
pieces. much to the chagrin of the wom-

the twinkling of an eye almost every

STATE ASYLUM GUARANTEED.
Smallpox Epidemic at Home for Feeble
Minded Children.

Minded Children.
Lincoln. ILL.,, Jan. Am alarming cpl
demic OF smallpox has broken out
among the inmates of the asylum for
predetermined children, located on the
outskirts of Lincoln. Between seventy
five and 100 cases exist at the %institu-
ton. Seven are critical, but the re-
mainder are believed to be of light form.
The asylum has been placed under
quarantine, and the patients have been
isolated in one of the cottages. Since
most Of the inmates have been exposed,
however, there is imminent danger of q
general epidemic, and as there are over
1000 children and about 200 employees,
such a result would be serious.
A boy was admitted to the institution
a few days ago from Chicago. The sec
ond day after his arrival an eruption
appeared on his face, but as there has
been numerous cases of c~hickenpox In
the asylum he was thought to be suffer
ing with that disease, and was placed in
the ward allotted to such patients.
Thursday hie affliction was pronounced
to be smallpox. In the meantime other
children had been exposed.
DR.. j. A. Eagan of the state board Of
health arrived from Springfield Tues
day, and, after a thorough examination,
pronounced the disease Of the boy to be
smallpox in a malignant form. Further
examination developed the fact that
scores Of cases thought to be chickSl-
pox were smallpox. DR.. Eagan vaccii$ t
ed all who had beer exposed, and took
precautions to prevent a further spread
of the disease.
Several of the nurses Of the hospital
have been stricken and a few of the at
tendants have left, altho it is believed
no other cases among the employees have
developed. Besides smallpox. a number
Of cases of diphtheria have appeared. 8
The epidemic has not reached the city,
and it is declared that there is no dam
gersof Its doing 90. Armed guards, how
ever, have been placed so as to prevent
any passing between the town and the
asylum. There have been smallpox
cases in a number of Logan county
towns, but so far the disease has not
manifested itself in Lincoln.

the remark:

Mr.. Sage is said to be as familiar with
the conditions OF his East Indian prop
critics as he is with his interests in New

in The banks and boards Of directors to
assist them. Russell Sage takes hold OF
the machine himself.
