Farmer, Ditch in Fine Shape.

n. G. Evans, secretary OF the Far
mers' Irrgating Co. reports everything
lovely with the farmers ditch. All
but few of the farmers were able to
meet payments for water this summer,
and as the board Of directors advertised
last month, from all those who did not
meet the payments the water was shut
off. This had to be done in only one or
two instances. Some of them COM
planned because Of this ruling, says Mr..
Evans, but they found very little sym
pathy with the farmers who did not pay,
for they had to and there is no reason
why any one should be favored. The
ditch is $50, 600 financial proposition,
and the enterprise cannot be run on a
charitable basis.
To Illustrate the way in which
some people look at the matter, Mr..
Evans related how one patron of the
ditch came to the secretary and begged
him be allowed the use OF the water,
saying he was in no shape to meet the
payments. Mr.. Evans said he would
take the farmers note and place it be-
fore the board OF directors. This he re-

White Salmon Growers to Form Union.

The White Salmon strawberry grow
ers are talking of forming shipping
union of their own. Heretofore the
White Salmon growers have been ship
ping with the Hood River Fruit Grow
ers' union or the Davidson Fruit Co.,
but the people on the north side of the
Columbia propose now TO go it alone.
The White Salmon berries are the
earliest in the Northwest, A, r. Byrk-
EFT says the growers at White Salmon
begin shipping ten days earlier than
the growers in Hood River, and he adds
that by the time the heavy shipments
begin here he has two-thirds of his crop
on the market and could then afford to
stop shipping, when the large quantity
OF berries begins to seriously affect the
markets.
The White Salmon farmers are busy
now with their tomato crop. 1t is esti-
mated that the low lands under the
White Salmon bluffs will turn off 5000
cases of tomatoes this summer, The
season will continue for another month.
Prices last week had dropped to about
so cents. In the forepart OF the season
the early tomatoes brought as high as
$2.65.
The fruit growers of White Salmon
expect to hold meeting in the near
future to discuss the proposition of a
cooperative cannery and the practica-
bility of constructing an irrigating ditch
for the farmers on the bench.

Asks CHARITY from None.

Soveren Holmes of Mitchell was in
town last Saturday evening. He was
one of the heaviest sufferers from the
Mitchell cloud-burst, his losses amount
ing to about $500 and including about
5000 in cash that he had saved up and
stored away in his trunk. The flood
took practically all that he had, the
product of years of industry and thrift,
but as Holmes expresses il, he "had
enough left to buy horse and saddle
with, and with this asset he is starting
out anew. Holmes scorns the idea of
accepting money from the relief commit
tee, and he says frankly that he does not
believe any man with youth, health and
strength left has right to sit around
bemoaning his misfortunes and expect
ing his losses to be made good out of
funds sent in by sympathetic people for
the relief of the needy and suffering.
This spirit is a commendiable one, aud

of great Importance that information of
this tharacter should be scattered as
widely as possible. AS an illustration,
found in some sections too much tend
ency to plant varieties Of apples like the
Ben Davis, the Black Ben Davis and the
Gano. While these varieties may still
find a ready market, they are discrimi-
mated against in the Eastern market.
Even in Oregon these varieties, am
told. are becoming unpopular. In some
parts OF the state growers are beginning
to appreciate this,and are putting in bet
ter varieties. At the same time found
localities where the growers suppose
these the best varieties and are putting
them in. A peter general knowledge
of the results of experience i'll this and
other lines would be Of the utmost value
to the farmers and horticulturists of the
state.
"The irrigation of orchards interested
me. 1t seemed to me that as rule
where water Is abundant the growers
use too much OF it, especially in the
case of young trees not yet bearing, In
many instances the wood would be firm
er and the trees would winter better if
they were not irrigated. Another thing
that should receive more attention is
the enforcement OF inspection laws for
the purpose of excluding noxious in
sects and diseases. In some localities
there is great laxity in enforcing these
laws. Such pests as the woody aphis, or
root louise and the San Jose scale should
be kept out, for it is heavy expense
to spray the trees every winter after
these pests have gained foothold.
"One of the things which has i'm.
pressed me is the fact that the o. r. Il
N. Co. is payiHgs SO much attention to
the education OF the people along its
line. 1t is one OF the few roads, ii not
the only one, that is doing any intelli-
gent work toward developing the indus
tries in its territory"

All Not Lovely With the Ferryman.

The ferryman has troubles of his own.
Possibly the average passenger on the
White Salmon ferry thinks Messrs.
Dean and Pearson have snap. With
sail and gasoline power it looks easy
enough to operate the business. Oper-
ating expenses seem small as the two
men do all their own work, and the
collection of 25 cent fares should prove
snap.
Not so though Mr.. Dean gives it out
that he has expended over hundred
dollars in repairing the boats in the last
three weeks. The ferry owns two row
boats, two launches, six scows and six
sails. Boats are perishable and require
frequent repairs.
The rs cent fare is not always col
leCted. One night last week Andy
Pearson was aroused from his sleep by
three drunken loggers who wanted to
cross the river. Pearson rowed the
drunks to the Washington side. The
fare after night is so cents, but when
the men reached the other side of the
river, they gave Andy the merry ha, ha,
and left him to row back mad as a
hornet.
A few weeks ago, relates Mr.. Dean,
an Indian with his cayuse was rowed
across the river. He said he would pay
when he returned. When he did so,
the river was rough and difficult for
crossing with the scOw But the ferry
men landed the eiwash on the Oregon
side of the river, and all they received
for their trouble was the tender OF an
empty purse.
Mr., Dean says he has worked day
and night since taking hold of the ferry,
not having single Sunday he could
call his own. His work during the
summer has kept him busy both day
and night. But the night work he says
they aim to cut out after this. The
county commissioners aim to discourage
the operation of the ferry after nightfall,
except in very urgent cases.
Ira Rowland, from wEom Mr.. Dean
secured the ferry, held mail contract
with Uncle Sam to carry the mail from
Hood River TO White Salmon for $500
year The mail now amounts to three
and four sacks at a trip, more than one
man can handle, and teams have to be
hired to carry the mail to and from the
landings to the postoffices, a distance of
a mile at each end, This bill of expense
exceeds the pay which the contract calls
for, and the holder is doing the work
each year at dead loss. The contract,
so Mr.. Dean says, runs for five years
more. What the expense of carrying
the mail will be by that time can't he
guessed at.

The many complimentary remarks
from the press Of the state ON the cleo
ton Of the Hon. +. L. Smith to the
presidency Of the Oregon development
league, speaks well for the popularity
Of the selection. Possibly no man is
more widely known throughout the
state than Mr.. Smith. As an authority
on horticulture, he is recognized ss one
of the most competent In the United
States. Possibly no man has broader
knowledge Of apple growing than Mr..
Smith. His selection as president of
the Oregon Development league is a
credit to Hood River.

The action taken by the farmers Mon
day night at the Barrett school house
in taking the preliminary steps to Sc
cure water, shows commendable en-
terprise, and demonstrates that Hood
Rivet intends to keep up to date and
progressive. While the new ditch will
cost probably 100000 II carried out on
the scale proposed, yet II will add fully
100000 TO the value of the land that
will come under the ditch. Hood River
land Is too valuable to be farmed for
crops without irrigation. It is the extra
ton OF hay, crate Of berries or box Of
apples that makes the profit, and when
the crop can be doubled and in some
cases increased three.fold when prop
erIy irrigated and cultivated, the argu-
ment in favor Of the new ditch, regard
less Of the big undertaking, is conclus.
