New York journalism.

Few professional men are succeeded
by their sons. There Is feeling OF
discomfort with professional life that
causes father to forbid his son enter
ing it. Its financial results are unsatis-
factory, as a general rule, and the labor
is hard and endless.
Young men write me often for advice
about entering journalism. What should
one sayH The truth, and nothing but
the truth. Journalism is a great field,
with big prizes for the right men, and
no natural born genius with strong
bent for the calling should be kept ont
of II.
The pay of Journalists ranges from
$3.50 to $47 900 a year In New York
there are about dozen desirable editor
ships worth from $l0, 600 to $25 900 each
year.
Some reporters are satisfied with $25
week, others easily make $l25. Not
long ago the owner of great paper sent
for an exceptionally clever executive
manager and said 'I will pay you tl0,-
900 year for ten years II you can make
my property pay me 81 ,0O0, ,0M year. F"
The task was undertaken with will,
At the end of the first year the returns
showed only $S75, 900, and the man was
dropped. This story is vouched for
among the Park row rodents.)
Journalists may be Ishmaelites of ne.
cessity, but they are also the eyes Of the
world. Before we had newspapers men,
men meeting one another in the course of
the day, woHld beg for the latest infor-
nation on any and every subject.
The constant query was :"What have
YOU heard2 Is there anything new2''
Today, with newspapers, the salutation
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-09-15

is:'Well, / see the Russians got it
again" II see that Murphy is going to
knife Parker" "I see that a million
men have joined the beef strike" etc.
What helpless, blind, barren set OF
mOrtals we would be but for newspa-
pers!
Journalism is the great school Of
learning for those in it as well as out of
it. A bright, active reporter is brought
in contact with the foremost men of the
time and by attrition alone is broadened
amazingly.
Newspaper men, like those of other
professions, are usually dissatisfied
Nine in ten OF all the journalists of my
acquaintance are on the look out for
something better, something easier,
something with more money in it than
they are making.
: While looking around it is not unlikely
that many are less devoted to the inter-
ests OF their employers than they should
be, which in the end leads to a double
isappointment--failu of advancement
in the Office and inability to raise the
wind on the outside.
On the other hand, many an honest,
earnest, devoted man with a single pur-
pose to do his best for his paper is unap.
preciated. | suppose that is fate.
Most men who leave the ranks OF
journalism, II not too old, become pri-
, vate secretarie4 for big bugs in political
office. Some become members OF presi-
dents cabinets. Some get to be assist
ants OF multimllionaire railroad mag
I mates or industrial lords or themselves
become magnates or lords. Some go
abroad as ambassadors, ministers and
consuls Some become generals of the
army.
We have seen them as receivers Of
big corporations, mayor heads of coun-
ty committees, members OF the senate,
house and board Of alderman. Some
become lawyers of ability, preachers,
lecturers, theater managers, actors,
bankers, brokers.
Nothing is too good for newspaper
man, and he deserves all that is coming
to him. In rare instances he goes to
jail
A New York newspaper office reminds
me very forcibly OF New York itself in
some quarter where building operations
are active.
The changes of year cause the place
to seem strange Familiar faces disap-
pear, familiar buildings are converted
into refuse with the suddenness of mag
ic, and all the surroundings are new.
The editor in chief and few of the
faithful are in the office, rs some of the
landmarks are still resting upon our
topography, but there is fresh regi.
ment OF subordinates as there is an un-
accustomed mass Of steel constructions.
In no other calling are there 80 many
and so frequent changes as in journa.

The Bend Bulletin suggested some
time ago that wagon road over the
Cascades would bring the settlement OF
Crook county nearer to Portland mar
kets. The Prineville papers immedi-
ately got up in the air and declared
Prinevile was nearer TO Shanico, the
terminus OF the Columbia Southern, than
TO Detroit, the Eastern end Of the Cor
Wallis & Eastern railroad, therefore il
would be nonsense for crook county to
appropriate money for the proposed
road 10 Detroit. Now the Bulletin
comes forward with the declaration that
Prineville isn't all OF Crook county
not by long shetland that II the peo-
pie Of Bend believe that road over the
Cascades will help them, they expect TO
90 into their own pockets and build it.
There are other counties in Oregon
whose county seat Is not the whole
county.

REGARDS HOOD RIVER
AS IDEAL COUNTRY

"0h, its ideall" remarked Professor
d. G. Mooring, head Of the department
OF horticulture at the Washington Ag-
ricutural college, Pullman, after he re-
turned from drive through the valley
with Joe Wilson, last Saturday.
"When ] was attending college, we
used to read in the horticultural papers
and books of the ideal communities,
where everything was perfection, where
the people enjoyed life and had every
thing they wanted, but | didn't believe
such places existed until saw Hood
River valley this morning." continued
Professor Mooring in conversation with
a Glacier reporter.
Mr.. Wilson took the visitor out to
Eggermont, where he was shown the
fine orchards Of Mr.. Avery, and the pro-
iessor thought he had never seen any
thing to equal them.
Professor Mooring is a graduate Of the
state university OF Arkansas and has
been with the Washington Agricultural
college for little over year. He says
he would enjoy coming down othe fruit
fair but is afraid his classroom duties
will keep him at home. He says Hood
River is the first fruit section of the
Northwest he ever heard OF, and such
tlattering reports came to him that he
wasn't satisfied until he had made this
city visit.
Saturday afternoon he crossed the Co.
lumbia 10 visit with the orchardists Of
that thriving community.
DROfacunr MoNrinas rauop1o Hood Rivar
one Of the most progressive commu
mites he ever visited. He says the
fruit growers demonstrate this by the
way in which they have in a compar
atively short time found out which va.
rieties OF apples are beet adapted to thii
locality, and which OF these are the
most profitable from commercial
standpoint.
Two other points the professor picket
out to show that the community wa
filled with up-to-date apple men were
the systematic thinning Of the fruit ant
the distance apart the trees we're set II
the orchards. He knows OF no othe
community where the process Of thin
ming is so thoroughly carried out as a
Hood River.
The specialization followed so care
fully by the orchardists OF Hood River i
bound to bring success, says Professo
Mooring.
Professor Mooring desires to express
his thanks TO f. l.. Smith and to Josepl
A. Wilson for the many courtesies they
showed him in giving him information
about the apple business here and TO
taking him about the valley.

Trees Show Splendid GrOwth.

The cherry orchard of G. +. Waldo at
White Salmon was planted year ago
last March, and today many OF the
trunks of the trees are two and half
and three inches in diameter. great
majority OF the trees are ten feet high
The trees have received no artificial
irrigation, Notwithstanding this re-
markable growth. They have been kept
at high standard Of cultivation, and
the ground, by scraping an inch or two
beneath the surface, will show plenty Of
moisture. There are no weeds in the
orchard
Mr.. Waldo has but eight acres in his
place but in few years will have a pay
ing farm and one that will give him
plenty OF work To- take care Of A Gla-
cier man was at White Salmon one day
last week and was shown about this fine
ranch by the proprietor.
Mr.. Waldo, formerly railroad super
intendent in Wisconsin, has built him
self splendid home at White Salmon.
A glance at the interior OF his house
gives one an idea he is entering city
dwelling. Every comfort OF model
home is supplied. The grounds about
the house are well kept, and Mr.. Waldo
has recently remodeled his barn, max
ing a stable for his horses that would
make comfortable home for most any
one.
That the finest fruit can be grown on
his place is demonstrated by the few re-
naming trees left from an old orchard
that once occupied part Of his farm.
From peach trees here the finest peaches
were gathered that the newspaper man
ever ate. He was furnished with all he
could carry home, They we're of large
size and extremely delicious flavor
There is cherry tree on the place
from which last year Mr.. Waldo sold
over $ll worth Of cherries.

To Enlarge Lost Lake Mills.

P. S. Davidson of Hood River, who is
secretary and general manager of the
Lost Lake Lumber Co., formerly a To-
cal institution, but now of Coeur d.
Al'ne, Idaho, says the mill is cutting
5000 feet per day. The company is
arranging to put in new "nigger. ;"
which will increase the output to 75,-
900 feet per day.
An electric light plant is also to be
installed, says Mr.. Davidson, to enable
the mill to be operated full 10 hours a
day. The Davidson boys in Idaho, he
Gays are doing well.
This mill is cutting good grade of
white pine. This lumber is readily

The city of Newberg is holding its
breath for fear the Southern Pacific Co.

that town with needed improvements
to the depot grounds.
At the recent old folks reunion at
Baker City was Andrew Loahr, who will
be l02 years old October Is, OF this year.
The old gentleman is said to get about
without assistance, and aside from being
slightly deaf is hale and hearty. His
home is at Union.
Another man has come to grief for
violating the game law. Louis Emmit

A good many of the people of that sec

found guilty and was sentenced to pay

The 0regonian estimates the wheat
crop of Oregon, Washington and Idaho
at As, 100, 900 bushels, which is the great
est yield with one exception--that OF
l90l-since 1893. Oregon is credited
with l2,950,000 bushels, Washington
with q $3.50, 900 bushels and Idaho with
$500, 900 bushels. The banner Oregon
county is Umatilla, which will contrib
ute 5000, 900 bushels, or nearly one-half
of the yield of the state. Whitman is
Washington's banner county. 1t will
produce 1900, 900 bushels.
The editor of the Wasco News in an
idle moment pens the following: "If a
business man sees fit to daub his note
heads and envelopes with rubber
stamp and thus lead outsiders to think
there are no printers in town, he ought
to be assaulted. Such a man as that,
when he comes to die, should have his
obituary and the usual resolutions of
his lodge printed on board fence with
a rubber stamp. When he has baby
at his home or party, or daughter or
son is married, full account of the i'm
portant event might be printed on
sheet of wrapping paper and tackled on
his front door. Come TO think of it,
there is no end of uses rubber stamp
might be put to in the hands Of an en-
terprisinR and economical man"

Finds Band Of Wild Cattlet

Flint Bradford was hunting last week
in the high mountains to the west OF
Mount Defiance, and at point about
south OF Cascade Locks he came across
country well filled with lakes and
meadows, and says here he ran onto a
band of wild cattle.
There were about half dozen OF them,
says Flint, but so wild he could get little
more than a fleeting glance of them.
Whenever he approached. the cattle
would take to the thick brush like deer,
Flint says he would have shot one,
but the country there is so rough it
would have been impossible to have
carried out the game.
