Game 10 Hood River in 1875.

Alfred Ingalls, who died January 8,
1904, was highly respected citizen and
early pioneer Of Hood River valley. Mr..
Ingalls, had been a sufferer for a year or
more from cancer Of the face,
In the death OF Mr.. ingalls, this com
munity has lost one OF its sterling cltl-
zens, who was at all times ready and
willing to assist his friends, and
who always stood in the front rank in
all matters pertaining to the good OF the
community. He was loyal husband, "a
kind and indulgent father a faithful
and conscientious Christian, beloved by
all who knew him, and one whose loss
will be deeply felt by the people OF Bar
rett district. The bereaved family have
the heartfelt sympathy OF the sorrowlng
community, and may He, who is death $
conqueror, sustain and comfort the fami-
ly in this their great time of afiilction.
Alfred Ingalls, was born in Wayne
county, New York, April Is, 1887. At
the age Of five years he was taken by
his parents to Tioga ounty Penn. where
in 1862 he was married to Miss Emma
Townsberry In 1875 he moved TO Hood
River, coming with the Parkhurst colo
ny in that year, and has resided here
ever since. OF ten children born to Mr.
and Mrs. Ingalls,, but four survive to
mourn with the mother in their sad be.
reavement, The sons, James and Fred
live in Barrett district, while the daugh-
ters, Mrs. Perry McCrory and Mrs. Fred
Howe, live at Hood River.
Mr.. Ingalls, united with the Valley
Christian church in April, 1886, and has
been consistent and forceful member
of that organization He was member
OF the Odd Fellows, but has not affiliate

Friends, | may have suggested herein
some radical measures for our relief, but
| believe it is time now to meet these
questions suuarely in the face and |
further believe it requires some radical
thought to arouse conservative thought
to action. In conclusion may | add
these thoughts:
In this old busy world of strife and toll,
We find upon the man who tills the soil,
Rests the whole structure OF clVlllzauon,
With less law to protect his vocation.
o, let MS then be up and wide awake,
United, determind some laws to make;
That will assist those who have desire
To raise our standard of fruit still higher.
our undivided efforts should be used,
TO obtain laws that can not be abused
A few good laws well enforced are better
Than many to become dead letter.

ASKS FOR BETTER LAWS.

A. l. Mason, president of the Hood
River Apple Growers Union, read an
able paper before the Northwest Fruit
Growers association, in Portland, this
week, entitled, "Needsd Legislation Rel
ative to the Fruit Industry" Mr..
Mason said in part:
We have many good horticultural laws
in Oregon, and believe you will agree
with me that the majority Of them are
only on paper. In other words, they are
a dead letter. We need more executive
laws with sufficient appropriations to
enforce them; and then we need eXecu
tive officers who are not afraid to per-
form their duty. Our state horticultural
board is composed of honorable and pro-
gressive fruit growers, but they are han
dicapped The laws are not such as to
Justify them in taking action when they
desire. The executive power and finan-
clal backing which should be given
them by law is wanting.
We know each fruit grower is COM
pelled(2) by law to spray thoroughly for
insects, pests, fungi, etc. Yet the most
of us can look over Unr immediate neigh
borho0d and find one fruit grower spray
ing carefully, another recklessly; one us
ing the best of SPRAYS for certain results,
the other. using any spray easy made
and cheap. One using the best appli-
ances for putting on the spray effectively,
the other using "any old thing" for n
pump, and is always in a hurry. One
growing fine fruit with from 80 to 98 per
cent free from worms, the other growing
inferior fruit with large per cent
wormy.
Is there any law TO assist in equalizing
the methods of cultivation OF these
growers? Ii so, should they not be en-
forced? Should not the progressive and
painstaking orchardist have better pro-
lection? / believe we all agree that he
should; and | further believe you will
assist in giving him that protection on
our statute books in such manner as to
be effective.
We have some laws relative to our
spray material that need modifying and
enforcing. How many of us buy arsenic
and receive a certificate of its purity?
And if we should ,whatassurance have we
that it is not worthless one? ! have a
neighbor who is progressive and up-to-
date apple grower He discovered last
summer that his spray for the Goblin
moth was not doing the desired work.
His arsenic was sold to him as 9S per
cent pure. He sent sample of it latter
it was too late to save his crop to a
friend who is a chemist. His analysis
told only 80 per cent pure.
We need more rigid laws rigidly en-
forced against any unscrupulous dealer
who sells rs adulterated poisons, Any
retail dealer should know from whom he
buys his poisona, and hold that party re-
sp0nsble for their purity and every re-
tail dealer should be held responsible for
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-01-14

all damages done to any fruit grower
who has used his adulterated poisons.
A small fine upon the guilty dealer who
sells adulterated spray material, as is
supposed to be imposed by our state
horticultural law, is almost a farce, and
but little protection to the fruit grower.
Give us an additional law that will pro-
tect the grower by making the guilty
dealer liable for all damages.
A prominent statesman, when asked
by his daughter if she should get mar
ried, replied, Daughter, be sure yon
are right and then go ahead" To the
young orchardist we would repeat, BE
sure you are right and then go ahead. "
But let us follow this young orchardist
and see if he is right, or whether we are
permitting him to be deceived. He
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-01-14

studies the character of the soil, lay OF
ground and varieties adapted to his local
ity; then proceeds to the nursery and
buys 900 trees of the varieties desired.
He Gultivates them for five years, and
after waiting patiently and anxiously
for that most highly appreciated crop OF
all crops-the first crop-lo, and behold !!
he discovers for the first time that he
has scarcely any variety he bought; and
instead OF the choice commercial vari-
cites he intended to plant, he has lot
of riff-rdff stnff, the fruit OF which would
bankrupt any frnit-grower.
How many of you have had similar
experience and can name the deceiver
of this young orchardist? know OF
no words to express my contempt for
such careless, worthless and unscrupu-
lous nurserymen, A crime perpetrated
upon that young orchardist, did you
say? Nothing on our criminal docket
in the line of larceny equals it, Robbed
is a weak word. Had that young or
chardist been knocked down by high

Hood River, Jan. II, l904.-Editor
Glacier: A free reading room has been
a long-felt want in Hood River, where
our young men or strangers could drop
in and have a cheerful, homeIike place
where they could enjoy the reading Of
choice literature, books, magazines,
papers, etc. Thanks to the untiring
efforts of August c. Ahrendren, we
have the nucleus of what we hope may
supply this great need. Mr.. Ahrendren
met with the different societies of the
city churches, explained his plan OF
work and secured the appointment OF
delegates from each society to meet
January 8 at the home of Mrs. Pickett,
corner Oak and Second streets, This
was for the purpose Of organizing a
Christian Union aud establishing a
free reading room. Mrs. Pickett had
kindly consented to allow her front
room to be used for that purpose, and
in the meantime Mr.. Ahrendren had
solicited quite an amount of literature
from the good people of the city. The
ladies met and did some preliminary
work, also elected the following Of
ficers: Mrs. Geo. p, Crowell, president
Mrs. J. w. Rigby, vice president at
large; Mrs. H. ?. Hartley, secretary;
Mrs. Frank Chandler, treasurer. 1t
was decided to elect two vice pres
idents from each church, to form an
advisory committee, and such other
officers as may be deemed wise at next
meeting, Tuesday, January Is, ,2:30p.m.
The ladies desire to extend wei.
come to each and every one and hope
they will take pleasure in perusing the
many good things provided.
Mrs. Pickett will take pleasure in
furnishing meals TO any one who would
so desire at all hours.
We return thanks to those who have
assisted us so far, and there is yet op
portunity to continue the good work.
