ESTIMATE lOs,l7S CRATES.
Hood Rivers Strawberry Crop
a Record Breaker.


The Hood River strawberry crop has
been estimated by the growers at lO9,-
l75 crates. The Davidson Fruit COM
pany has compiled few statistics fur
nished the company by the growers
which are surprising to the best in
formed. The company sent requests to
all the growers asking for a statement
on the acreage in bearing and in new
plants and the growers estimate on
his coming crop. Two hundred and
forty growers reported S7l1a acres in
bearing plants and 3271 acres in new
plants, while the total estimate for
this years crop is placed at l09,l75
crates. II. F. Davidson says there are
about 80 growers yet TO report who
have an additional total acreage of 80
acres, which would add 0, ,250 crates to
the total estimate, making it over 49,
900 crates. These statistics do not in
clude any new acreage owned by peo-
pie who do not haveaDy bearing plants.
This estimate appears all the more
startling when 1t is considered that for
the past two years the Davidson Fruit
company has gathered statistics in the
same manner, and each season the crop
exceeded the estimate. Last season
the estimate was about 10000 crates,
when the total shipments exceeded
$1,000 crates. The estimate this year
of 10000 crates lin round numbers)
from $50 acres is at the rate of 125 crates
to the acre-a very conservative esti-
mate.
If prices are as good as last year, the
Hood River strawberry growers will
receive over 5000, ,000 this summer.

The Easter Hat.

mas, comes but once year, l, in CON-
mon with many others, deemed it my
duty to attend Easter services, and my
choice fell upon the U. B. church. It
took me longer to primp than usual,
and consequently was a little late, and
of course every available seat was full
and the usher did not like to leave his
seat for fear he might lose it. But
brother George, who was sitting in the
last row, saw how lonesome | was feel
ing, and squeezed sister George little
and so made room for me by his side.
The church looked very pretty in its
Easter dress; that Is, so much of it as
could see, and that covered the upper
half of the windows and all of the CELL
ing. But the display of Easter hats
was far ahead of my fondest anticipa-
ton; and | will say, confidentially,
that that was all | went to see, any
way. OF course could hear very well.
But was glad l went Just to see the
Easter hats, for could not have seen
anything else if had wanted to. And
there was such a variety of them, too.
Why, some Of them must have been
two feet across! And such an empo-
rum of things that was on them!
There was feathers, and flowers, and
grass, and birds tails, and birds heads.

knots and punches; and one hat In par.

George was so uneasy and fidgety that
he attracted my attention. He was
peeking and bObbing around like dis
contented cork on . troubled sea. 1

hear what was going on down in front,
as Mrs. HanBa's class was saying some
thing (at least that Is what the pro-
gramme called for. Then brother
George said something dreadful, BLANK

Robert Leasure OF Mount Hood was
in town last Friday. Mr.. Leasure has
had charge Of crew of loggers on the
East fork Of Hood river all winter for
the Lost Lake Lumber company. He
has resigned his position for the pres
ent to look after his farm and put in his
spring crops, after which he will again
take charge Of the logging camp for the
Oregon Lumber company. Mr.. Leasure
says that by putting in two more splash
DAMS one on the Middle fork and the
other on the West fork of Hood river,
the company would be able to drive all
the logs they might need down the
river. The Oregon Lumber company
intend to push the logging business in
the Forks all summer.

G. w. Brown, who taught the Odell
school, has moved his family on the
West Side. where he bought five acres
of land near the Idlewilde cemetery.
John Leland Henderson of Hood

is surveying the Roberts place, one time
part of the William Odell donation land
claim. The land is being cut into three
tracts and will be placed upon the mar
ket by Mr.. Livingstone of Portland.
This is very desirable piece OF land
and will make three valuable homes, and
no doubt will find quick buyers.
The following pupils at Odell passed
examination in the 8th grade: Hope
Shelley, Bertha Lafferty and Edith

Tibet and india.

The relations between the British Indian
Government and Tibet are said to be ap-
preaching a crisis. The Sikkim Treaty OF
1890, which is now the subject Of negotiation
between China and Tibet, provided for the
consideration by special commissioners OF
certain points connected with the establish
ment of trade mart and the settlement Of
pasture lands. Great Britain in the Con-
vention OF 1885, in return for recognition
OF British sovereignty in Burmah, con-
sented among other things not to send its
mission to Tibet. The British right to
send the mission has been acknowledged by
China Since the Treaty Of 1900 was signed
no step has been taken to give II effect until
now. The construction Of road for wheel
transport, however. from India through
Sikkim has already been reported, az also
the fact that the export Of arms and am
munition to Tibet has been prohibited and
strong frontier posts established. The
last mail from India now brings the news
that the Government Of India has addressed
vigorous representations to the Tibetan
authorities, calling on them TO fulfil their
pledge to encourage or, at any rate, not
hinder Indian trade with Tibet. and that the
troops required for an expedition have
haen selected.

ENGINEERS EYES AND EARS.
Southern Pacific Decides to Test Its Men
Every Three Years.

The Southern Pacific Railroad has adopted
a rule that all its engineers and trainmen
shall be tested AZ to their sight and hearing
not only when they enter the service, but
periodically afterward In explaining the
need OF this precaution to reporter Tor
the Galveston D'iIy Ners. Vice-President
c. Fl. Markham said
GWe have found that some Of the serious
wrecks of the Southern Pacific have been
due to physical incapacities Of employees,
and, thoroughly considering the situation,
il was decided to inaugurate system
OF examinations. This system was pre-
pared and has been placed in service under
the directions of the medical department.
THE examinations are principally tests
for the hearing and oversight, and they are
not stringently made, by any means. All
that 10 required is that the person examined
shall be able to distinguish unusual objects
within an ordinary field Of vision and shall
be capable OF hearing an ordinary CONVEX
sation. No exaoting tests are made 1t Is
necessary that employees for good service
sball he possessed Of the usual faculties OF
hearing and vision,
4The principal eye tests are to determine
The ability of the person to see an ordinary
distance and to distinguish between color,
asnecially red and green. Color blindness,
we find. is not at all infrequent. and 1T is
very necessary that our triiinmen should
not be afflicted with it,
Red and green are the most important
colors used in signalling trains. Red de-
notes danger, and wherever a tram ap-
u Exhe hl
positive that 1t shall not pass n, but snail
stop and await orders. green hght signi-
sas a clear track and safety. You WILL
thus readily see the results that might follow
a confusion OF the two colors
an our examinations az far AZ they have
,-ocaeded we have already some two or
tbra.. GASES OF absolute color blindness. In
making the examination the employee Is led
IN a table on which are IA number OF colors'

IN select another to match it. While a

them. the test is really only. FOR ability 10

one from the other, not only IN the coiors
that were shown him, but IN tnose c''''
