Van Horn, member of the Hood River
Fruit Co., Is East Side farmers will Sc
cure water from the Bone Bros. irrigat-
ing ditch. The water will be taken
from the main canal and carried to the
Pine Grove district in iron pipes. This

away with an unsightly high fume.
1T was through the personal efforts of
Mr.. NanHorn that this water was Sc
cured, /" said A. w. 0nthank, who en-
gineered the sale of several pieces of
land to the fruit company. "Mr. Van
Horn visited each one of the farmers in
the neighborhood and fairly camped on
their door step until they agreed to join
with him in securing the water from the
Bone Bros"
1t is agreed that the water shall be
supplied 10y August |. Other East Side
farmers have agreed to take water, and
it will e supplied to them by July |.

No Place Like Hood River.

Daniel Barbee and wife are new resi-.
dents of Hood River, Glenwood, Iowa,
was their former home, where Mr.. Bar.
bee is the owner OF 800 acres OF farming
land. w. f. .Laraway has induced
Mr.. Barbee to sell his Iowa holdings
and take up his home in Hood River.
Mr.. Laraway tells the Glacier that
Mr., Barbee, being determined to find a
more congenial climate than the state
of Iowa affords got hold of some litera-
ture giving glowing descriptions of Cali
fornia, and a few weeks ago made visit
to that country, He went to the very
section the circular had told him so
much about and found things altogeth-
er misrepresented. Hundreds of acres
of peach orchards were not making mon
ey enough to pay for the cultivation. He
found fruit.growirg in that country
losing proposition rom beginning to end,
which lost for him any idea of investing
there.
Mr.. Barbee then went to Southern
Oregon, but found nothing to his liking
there. He finally reached Portland,
and was about to return to Iowa, thor
ougbly disgusted with this Western
country, but hearing great deal about
Hood River, he decided to see for him
self just what is here.
One days ride through the valley was
sufficient to convince Mr.. Barbee that
this is the very country he was looking
for. He has decided to dispose of his
800 acres in Iowa, where the land is
worth 800 an acre, and invest in Hood
River fruit lands, s,where a man can grow
rich on 20 acres of land, and the rigors
of Eastern winters are unknown, like
wise the excessive heat of the summers.
He will be back to this country in Au-
gust to make Hood River his permanent
home.

j. P. Egan of White Salmon
presented the editor with box oi
handsome Strawberries Thursday night
of last week, They were fine, lurcious
ones, ~ of which filled the pound box.
The new editor never saw anything like
them before, though he used to buy a
great many Hood River berries in his
former North Dakota home.
Mr. Egan says he had shipped that
day four crates filed with berries
just as nice as the sample he left for the
editor. Such fruit should bring top
notch prices. Mr.. Egan is one of White
Salmon's most successful fruit growers.
he has five acres in bearing plants. Last
fall he says he applied 700 pounds of
commercial land plaster on his berries,
and the result is good to see. His plants
never looked better he says, and while
the plaster cost him SIS, it will net him
800 profit in berries.
Mr.. Egan received S6 crate for his
berries. He ships his frnit through
the Hood River Fruit Growers Union,

"My Dear Brother: I learned with
great pleasure from your last letter
that you are still in good health and
that the two families we have known

tion will continue for all of you. AL
though the papers have had me suffer
ing from neuralgia, nostalgia, loss of
appetite, insomnia and even failing
eyesight, thanks to God, SO far have

"There is nothing can do but smile

James Buchanan, who was afterwards
president of the United States, was re-

one woman. Soon after he left the leg

law he became engaged to beautiful
and extremely sensitive young lady,
Anne Coleman. On account of her
sensitiveness there came rupture, and
Buchanan received note from Miss
Coleman asking him to release her

mustache covers mouth of generous
size and irregular outline. His man.
ners are as easy and unpretentious as
an old shoe.
He would not be rich man in New
York, but he is rich man for Mis-

whose father left him fortune. But
he does not look as if he had dollar,
and all the advice Of his friends can
not make him spruce up.
His autobiography in the Congress
sional Directory says that he received

kentucky Military Institute, the Uni
versity Of the South, the University Of
Virginia, and the University of Heidel-
berg. Whether the words "fair edu-
cation" are written in boast or modesty
may be a question to strangers, but
no one who knows "John Sharp" as
they call him in Mississippi, and is
aware of his total lack of ''front," has
any doubt that he meant what he said.
