DIPHTHERIA CASES
ALL MILD IN FORM

The public schools of Hood River were
closed Monday morning for week be-
cause of several cases OF diphtheria
among the pupils. The families in whose
homes there is diphtheria have all been
placedin quarantine, and every effort
is being made to stamp out the disease.
The physicians state that the cases
are all mild in form, and that the pa
tients have responded nicely to the use
of anti-toxin. A majority Of the child
rem have already recovered Six cases
were reported Monday among the fam
lilies of Dick Nealeigh, 0. B. Evinger
and Perry McCrory.
1t is thought the disease was spread
from the school on the hill. After con-
sulting with the physicians, the health
board thought best to close the schools
for the week, and to have the entertain
ment scheduled for Monday night post.

''Trial by Jury" Pleasing Production.

"Trial by Jury" at the opera house
on last Friday night met with a
crowded house. The public school
library fund was handsomely increased
by the receipts of the evening.
Professor Aylsworth, conductor of the
operetta, sustained we'll his part as
judge, and displayed musical talent
of ability. Those parts rendered by the
local talent were well received, and
many of the amateur performers could
play with credit in a professional role.
Following is the program rendered

less than eight. Then asked the larg-
est boy what his measure was, and he
said six before dinner and as many
after.
81 concluded after such investigation
there must be something in Arkansas
apples worth eating, if they kept the
boys that busy.
81 believe l can say that the Hood
River apple is the best looking and tops
the market in prices, but when it comes
to eating, ] do not believe any Hood
River boy can beat the boys here-or on
the sweetness of the apple.
"You gave a graphic picture of the
busy, prosperous town of Hood River
with its new stores and ornamental
business places"

Visit Their Claims at Underwood.

John Jacobsen, E. G. Goddard and
John Sealy Of Portland returned Mon
day afternoon from Underwood, where
they spent a week ON their claims. The
homestead of Mr. Jacobsen is at an ele-
walton of 2l00 feet on the side of Under
wood mountain. He has portion OF
his place already improved and three
acres set to orchard. He has arranged
to clear more land and to plant apple
trees in the spring. This section of
Skamania county is well adapted to
apple culture, and these gentlemen look
for lively little town at Underwood in
few years.

Henry T. Williams writes the follow
ing letter to Clarence Gilbert from
Ozark, Ark:
All nature here is in a state of
supreme happiness, because we have
just gathered our crop of peanuts and
sweet potatoes. You cannot conceive
of the general happiness on the farm
over a crop of peanuts. When we begin
the crows sit on the fences and tree tops
waiting for a chance to slip in. The
sky is plentifully supplied with aerial
visitors. Then the turkeys are hiding
in the weeds waiting to come out and
pick up all that are loose; and the
chickens, cows, horses and small chill
dren are all waiting for their chance.
Peanuts are richer than corn and cost
no more to raise, and the tops are better
hay than timothy. This last week we
gathered our crop of sweet potatoes
$50 bushels.
Somehow farming here has great
attractions. Just as came here from
the fair at st. Louis, the berry crop
was in great demand; then came the
peaches. We gathered 1000 crates OF
them. We had a small army of warb-
lers all come for feast, and | do not
believe any of them ate less than a
peach every ten minutes, and there
were 50 workers ;but they ate the ripest
ones, too soft to ship. Sometimes we
had % bushels a day of peaches left
over, too ripe to ship. But peach hap.
piness was nothing compared to peanut
ecstasy. You should have seen the
visitors, who neglected calling on us fol
six months previous, but who suddenly
recollected we raised peanuts and were
worth keeping up acquaintance with
They each left after their visit with q
small sack of peanuts. | thought wher
we were done with the peaches the
appetites OF our boys for fruit would bt
satisfied, but the crop of apples begar
to loosen them up-then it was difficult
to guage their appetites. | asked tht
smallest of our boys how many apples
it took to run him day. He said no
