H. G. Campbell, general manager of
the Columbia River and Northern Rail
way Co., was in Hood River last Thurs
day, This company recently purchased
the boats of the White Collar line on
the Middle Columbia. Mr.. Campbell
was here to get acquainted with our
citizens. The company which he repre-
sents is very much in favor of helping
Hood River to get boat landing nearer
town. The Lost Lake Lumber Co. has
promised to give a landing, place on
their premises by the mill. A road can
be made from the county bridge around
the bluff and across the meadow at But
toms place, that would be much nearer
and an easier grade than the road we
have now. In fact it would be nearly
level grade from the bridge to the river
Every advantage in handling and ship
ping freight by river will be given Hood
River by the steamboat company.
Freight rates will not be advanced by
the consolidation of the two companies,
neither will they be cut. The company
hopes to do fair share of the freight
ing business, and will endeavor to treat
all patrons in the same satisfactory
manner under which the former COM
panies did business. A fast-running
boat is being built for the company,
which will be used for tourist travel.
The company will do its share towards
advertising Hood River and will be glad
at any time to distribute any literature
calculated in any way to advance the
interests of Hood River.
R. Z HARRISON brought to the Glacier
Office samples OF his Flory or Banana
apple, last week. The Flory is pale
yellow apple, with red blush on the
side grown to the sun, and is ribbed
like a banana The apple tastes some
thing like a White Winter Pearmain,
one of the best varieties for flavor, and
is liked by all lovers of good apples. In
appearance it is beauty, and the box
Mr.. HARRISON exhibited at our fair last /
fall sold for $2 The variety was intro
duced into Hood River valley by Mr..
Harbison's mother, who saw descrip-
ton of it in an Eastern catalogue and
sent for two trees. One of the trees
was planted in the door yard of the
place sold to H. Hennagin and has never
been well cared for, and never made
much growth. The other tree is on Mr..
Harbison's place, but it has never been
hardy, and is dead on one side. 1t seems
to be thrifty grower. The keeping
qualities of the fruit is better,even than
the Ben Davis. The Columbia nursery
has budded and grated from this tree
OF Mr.. Harbison's, and he thinks it
would be we'll worth while for those
planting orchards for home use to plant
three or four of the Flory variety.
G. H. Stranahan returned two weeks
ago from his Eastern trip. He was in
Iowa, Minnesota and the Dakotas dur
ing zero weather and below, and came
home with his ears frost-nipped. He
says there will be big immigration to
Oregon in the spring, and that Hood
River will get its share. He did some
good talking for Hood River and the
and no doubt it will be pro-
ductive of good to the intending immi-
grants as well as the country he repre- {
sented.
