TOBACCO CROP IN WILSON.

TOBACCO CROP IN WILSON.
Wilson Times: The tobacco crop
this year will be somewhat Increased
over last year, but not SO much as last
wear was an increase over 1900, simply
because there is not sufficient labor In
the country to handle it. While near
Nv every farmer feels that tobacco will
b. high in price next fail and would
like to increase, yet experience has
taught him that it is simply throwing
away money to plant more than he
has lalor to handle.
MONUMENT COMPLETED.
Wilson Times: The Confederate
monument is now standing in Maple
wood cemetery, memorial to the braye
leeds OF the boys in gray, and OF the

A laughabIe incident occurred on the
train to Portland recently. Claude
Markham, ]. II. Cradlebaugh and w.
L. Huckabay were among the passen'
gers. Markham was taking with him
some specimens of big red apples OF the
Wolf River variety for the permanent ex-
hibit in Portland. A passenger in an
other car, from the Palouse country, was
taking home some fine apples, but went
to sleep and while he slept some tiend
stole his apples. Markham was show
ing his big apples to Cradlebaugh and
others, when some one, probably actua,
ted by desire to see some fun, slipped
into the car and told the man from the
Palouse that fellow in the other car
had his apples. The man rushed up to
Markham and grabbed at big apple In
his hand. Markham supposed that he
wanted to see it, and was about to lei
90 when he noticed that the man was
making vicious grab. The man claim
ed the apple, but Markham told him
he couldn't play no racket Of that KIND
on him, and held fast to the apple. II
took all the persuasive powers OF John
! Cradlebaugh to convince the man Una
he had never seen as big an apple in his
life as that Hood River apple.
The heavy rain OF Sunday and Sunda!
night and the chinook in the noun
tains. raised Hood river to booming
stage. The Lost Lake Lumber Co. hav'
been waiting for this freshet to brini
their logs down the river. The BIZ
Jams at Tucker and at the Hengst plac'
were foated, and the river was pretty
well cleared of logs all the way down
The company now has three or tou
million feet of logs in their big boom
and the mill will soon be running t
make them into lumber.
