Would Mark the Spot.

President James w. Welch Of the
Chamber OF Commerce, believes the
spot at which Captain Gray's ship
Columbia was anchored when she en-
tered the river in 1892 ought to be
properly marked, along with other his
toric spots in this vicinity. Mr.. Welch
says he believes the spot at which the
vessel lay at anchor could be ascer-
tanned without much tropble, and 1t is
his idea that a government buoy should
be permanently moored there. Mem
bers of the chamber have made up
ther minds that all places Of historic
interest in the county shall be prop
erly designated, and II Is not i'm
probable that some action will be taken
looking to the placing Of a buoy at
the spot at which the good ship Column
bia anchored when her master discov-
cred the great river of the west 112
years ago.

chinook's Hard Luck.

The bar dredge Chinook seems to be
having her share of hard luck. Captain
Dunbar and all Of his officers are very
anxious to demonstrate to the people
of oregon that their boat will provide
the desired depth at the mouth Of the
river. They feel satisfied the dredge
will be able to dig hole in the bar
within 30 days time II the weather
will only remain good for that lenth Of
time. Since the Chinook returned from
Portland the weather has been unfav-
orable, and she has been able to work
only a few hours. A stretch Of good
weather will be necessary to demon
strate the utility of the dredge, and as
vet this stretch has not put in an APP
pearance. However, the bar will be-
come quiet some time, and the dredge
will then show what she can accom-
plish in the line Of harbor improve
ment.

1t is though that plenty of freight can

the cargo will be discharged. BY the

begin taking on outward cargo. Among
the shipments she will carry to the far

wheat. It is very seldom that wheat
has been sent to China and Japan on
an oriental liner. It usually goes in
the form OF -four. Some say that It
is to be used as feed for the army
mules, while others are rather inclined
to believe that the Japanese have de-
clded to buy the raw product and do
their own milling.

HOOD RIVER STRAWBERRIES.
First Shipment Calculated to Be Made
by May 10.

W WFJ W.
Judge 4. II. Byrket, strawberry
grower OF Hood River, now In Port
land, expects to be shipping ripe
berries by May 10. The plants are
iust beginning to blossom, but with
continuous warm weather II will take
but a few weeks to produce the fruit.
Judge Byrket has 10 acres OF berries,
the largest acreage planted by an indi-
yuluai strawberry grower In the Hood
over country. There are larger ber-
ry plantations In Hood river, but they
are owned by partners. Mr.. Byrkets
10 acres lie directly under the basaltic
bluffs on the north side OF the colum-
bia, where the SUMS rays warm the
sandy loan soil in early spring. This
makes the land particularly early and
berries ripen here from week to 10
days before the crop colors on the
south side of the Columbia.
The early berries get the top prices
and Mr.. Byrket says he Is always as
sured of much higher average returns
for his fruit than his neighbors whose
berries do not rlpen so early. Mr.. Byr-
ket says his strawberries should Yield
200 crates to the acre, or u total OF
1000 crates. His average net returns
last year were between So so and 50 a
crate. AT such prices he should In
crease his bank account next month
by $4,000.
Hood River shipped last year 10000
crates OF strawberries. This season a
so per cent Increase In production
should run the total UP to 10000
crates. Most OF these berries find
their way to markets east Of the Rock
les. but until the lower priced home
grown berries enter the market. Port
land and Seattle people will have a
chance to feast on the Hood river ber-
rles. But small proportion OF the
crop finds It's way to Portland, as ship
ments OF 1000 and even 1000 miles to
Iowa and the Dakotas are found to be
more profitable.
H.. F. Davidson. president OF the Da-
wilson Fruit company. the largest
shipper of Hood River fruits, says
eastern fruit dealers are sending In
early orders for more berries than they
handled last year. While Mr.. David
son does not expect the excessively
high prices that prevailed at the open
ing of last season, he believes higher
average price can be maintained
throughout the season than was main
talned last year.
Special trains will carry Hood River
strawberries to the eastern markets.
Arrangements for these trains have
been made with the traffic department
Of the oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company. At the height of the season
Hood River is expected to turn out
10000 and $4,000 crates Of berries a
