Saw Fine Orchards Here.

Samuel B. Green, professor of horti-
culture and forestry at the University
of Minnesota, spent last Friday in Hood
River, the guest of E. Il. Smith. Mr..
Smith and Mr.. Green became acquainted
at the Buffalo meeting of the American
Pomologica society two years ago.
Professor Green spends his summers
travelling about the country, to use his
words, for the purpose of keeping cob
webs off his brain; to see what horticul-
turalists are doing in the different parts
Of the United States, and to gather new
ideas wherever they present themselves.
He was on the Pacific coast five years
ago and wanted TO visit at Hood River
then, but his time would not permit it.
After drive through the valley, Mr..
Green expressed himselfas being highly
pleased with the fruit prospects OF the
country. "Your town and valley"
said he, "present an appearance OF a
rare degree of development" He was
very much pleased with the push and
enterprise displayed by the buildings
and business interests of the town.
He thought the young orchards OF
the valley showed better care and a
higher degree of cultivation than any
orchards he has seen.
Professor Green is enthusiastically
wrapped up in his work. His institu-
ton Is one of the finest of its kind in
the whole United States. In fact it is
the largest and best equipped agricul-
tural college in the country. The en-
rollment last year was over 700. That
of the state university was 1000. The
proper idea of an agricultural college
appears to be carried out in the state OF
Minnesota.
The system of instruction is called an
agricultural high school course. Pupils
are taken from the grammar grades and
given thrle year course in the agri-
cultural school. There is no attempt to
compete with academies and collegiate
institutions. The list Of studies are
practical branches for farm students.
TO exclude the city boys from the
school, six months experience on a
farm is required. After the course is
completed a certificate is granted. Nc
attempt is made at granting degrees
For Il os students who wish to special
ize or TO fit themselves for teachers in
the agricultural branches, an additional
course of one year is taught This is
called the college Of agriculture, and
grants degree in agriculture.
The state OF Minnesota last year voteG
an appropriation of 100000 for the
agricultural department of the state
university. Mr.. Green says the equip
ment of the institution is now valued a.
$500, 900. The annual expenditure il
$l25,000
"We are endeavoring to reverse thu
old idea of education in the state o.
Minnesota" remarked Professor Greer
to Glacier reporter. "We believe ii
educating the masses instead of the
classes "

Captmes an American Eagle.

William Kennedy of the East Side
captured a real American eagle last
Friday afternoon, which with its wings
outstretched measures ~ feet from
tip to tip.
The eagle had been in the habit of
feasting on Mr.. Kennedy's flock of
chickens for the last two or three years.
A hand of the eagles have a nest
somewhere on the high point above his
ranch says Dir. Kennedy, and as it dis
covers its prey will drop like shot
from gun, fasten its tallions in the
chicken or young calf and rise again be-
fore touching the ground. The eagle is
recognized as the king of American
birds of prey and it is seldom that one lie
captured.
Mr.. Kennedy made an effort to take
the bird alive, but was unsuccessful, so
brought the fine specimen to Ed Will
liams, who Immediately sent the bird to
The Dalles where he will have it
mounted for display in his drugstore.

New Business Firm.

A new business firm has opened ont
in Hood River under the firm name OF
Staten & Sanborn. Mr.. Staten is a we'll
known citizen and owner of one of the
best farms INVEST Hood River, situated
one and half miles west of town. His
partner, r. s. Sanborn, is an attorney
recently from Salt Lake. Mr.. Sanborn
came to Hood River o month ago to
visit his friend A. c.. Staten, and Incl
dentally to take look at our valley OF
which he had heard so much. He was
delighted with Hood River, but could
see no opening for another attorney
here, and so visited many other towns
in Oregon and Washington seeking for
location. He attended the sessions of
the Development league of Portland and
was so impressed with the showing
made by Hood River that he determined
to return here and make his home. He
has rented the new cottage being built
ON River street in Idlewilde addition,
and in few days his wife and child will
join him from Salt Lake. The new
firm has bought out the real estate busi-
ness of G. L. Copple and will use the
same office until the completion of the
Smith block, when they will occupy
rooms in the second story of that build
ing. Both these gentlemen have full
confidence in the future of Hood River,
and win do their share towards making
our resources known to residents of less
favored localities. In the meantime
Mr.. Sanborn, as an attorney at law, will
look after all legal matters that may
be intrusted to his care.

inch pipes from the springs in Blowers
addition to the Brosius corner at the
west end of Oak street, where connec-

Ned Henderson, in charge of the

that the improvements to the
wdte system, which are being put in
at a cost of 81, 900, will give the city a
water supply sufficient for towns of
5000 and 5000 population.
"The new pipe line from the spring
will take all the waste water now run
ming from the reservoir" says Mr..
Henderson, "and will give the city
pressure sufficient for all purposes,
domestic, power and sewer"
Ditching for the pipe is already dug
along the streets through Goes addition
and down to the Park street school
house. A second spring has been

Paw For What They Don't Get.


Pine Grove, August 9.-Editor Gla-
cier: There are many in the neighbor-
hood who have been trying FIR more
than year to get the telephone service,
but if their effsrts are ever crowned
with success there is good reason TO be-
lieve that their cup Of Joy will not be
full.
Two days without connections with
the central office is the record for the
week and there is no reason to hope
that the same thing will not occur the
next week, the week after that, and 30
on indefinitely, just as it has been occur
ing every week or two since the system
was installed over two years ago.
The writer has no bee in his bonnet
for running the "public utilities" and
when the project for operating farm
ers' cooperative line was agitated last
year, was among those who used his in
huence against the plan, believing that
most people have enough to do in at
tending strictly to their own business,
so long as they get fair treatment from
Independent concerns. 1t looks now,
to even the most conservative, as If the
day is coming at rapid gait when Hood
River people would have to assume an
other of the burdens of mankind.
''What are we going TO do about these
weekly interruptions and every day
annoyances?" is Question which is be-
ing freely discussed among the victims
Of the present service. That the tele.
phone company is playing with fire is
as plain as day to any man with only
half an eye, and if these manifold NUT.
terings are allowed to take on as con.
crete form as they bore once before
the Pacific States Telephone company
and all its belongings win go out OF

length of time that it takes for lightning
to slide down a pine tree. X.

Mr.. Anderson said he and the other
rangers had been kept busy the past
two weeks fighting fire, but had been
successful thus far in keeping the
flames within bounds. Fires start from
apparently unknown causes and spread
with great rapidity, everything be-
ing perfectly dry. Had it not been for
for the presence Of the rangers in the
mountains, Mr.. Anderson lie Of the
opinion that several large forest fires
would have occurred, but the rangers are
vigilant and whenever a fire is discov-
