SMITH TO BUILD
ANOTHER BRICK

f. L. Smith has Architect Stranahan
preparing plans for another brick build
ing he will put up this fall.
Somebody has to build up this town, "
remarked Mr.. Smith, "for insurance
costs too much on the miserable shacks
some of us have around here"
The new building will be one story in
height, and will occupy the lot imme-
diately east of the building now being
erected for ]. L. Rand and the First
National bank. The building will have
50-foot frontage. When completed it
will be occupied by George l. Slocom
and 4. r. Bradley, who now rent the
wooden buildings standing on this lot
The buildings now occupied by Brad
ley, this printer, George |. Slocom and
w. j. Baker are being moved to the lots
recently vacated by Williams the baker,
Mr.. Slocom will have temporary quar-
ters with j. f. Rand, while Mr.. Bradley
will continue to do high grade job
work as his bnilding is shifted to the
corner of Third and State streets.
Work on the corner brick Mr.. Smith
is putting up is progressing rapidly,
Lathers are expected to begin the latter
part of this week on the lower floor OF
the store and bank rooms. Bricklaying
was delayed few days by the non arriv-
al of iron braces for the front of the
building. One of these, weighing 5000
pounds, was set in position Tuesday,
The building being vacated by Mr..
Baker, the real estate dealer, is an old
land mark in the city. This little build
ing was erected in 1882, the year the 0,
r. 4 N. was completed through Hood
River, says Mr.. Smith. 1t was used
then by Mr.. Smith as warehouse, and
for several years after by George P.
Crowell, the firm for while in the lat
ter part of the sos reading Blowers &
CroWell.

Pledges Support Of League.

The Portland Evening Telegram is
working hard to interest capital in
building railroad to the interior OF
Oregon that the trade of this section
may be diverted to Portland and not to
California where it all gravitates now.
The Telegram secured an expression OF
opinion from E. l.. Smith of Hood
River, president of the Oregon Develop
ment league, in which he pledges the
support of the league toward the move
ment of railroad. Mr.. Smith says:
"You will recall that in taking the
chair as presiding officer of the Oregon
Development league in your city few
days since particularly emphasized the
point that the two great factors in the
rapid development of our state must
necessarily be transportation and irriga-
ton. | called attention to the fact that
more than half of Oregon is semi.arid,
that the soils of this semi-arid section
contain great stores of plant food that
have never been leached by Winter rains
and floods, needing only to become sol
vent by water and to cover the land with
verdure and burden it with harvests.
"The General Government is now
well advanced with plans for the recla-
nation Of immense areas in Malhuer
and Klamath counties, and this recla-
nation will render the construction of
one or more railroads into this vast Sec
ton of our state more imperative nee
essity than ever before.
"Said judge in one Of our southern
counties to me some years since, Il wish
we were cut off from Oregon and an
nexed to California. All our business
interests are with that state, and all
that Northern Oregon cares about us is to
collect our taxes Was the indictment
well drawn?
ain no other manner can we Oregon
ize the southern portion of the state
and reclaim it from the commercial su-
premacy of California than by giving it
lines of transportation to the Columbia
and to tide water. 1t is needless to
state that the Oregon Development
league will enthusiastically lend it's sup
port to railway construction in Central
and Southern Oregon, for with such
lines we viii become a homogeneous
people,"

Right.Of.Way Promised Once More.

A quorum failed to materialize at the
council chambers Monday night, SC
adjournment was taken until Friday
night, when Mr.. Holmes, as agent for
Mr.. Hopkins, the gentleman who owns
the land between town and the river, has
agreed to furnish the city of Hood River
the right-of-way for the sewer outlet fol
the sum of $50.
Councilman Farley says he was in
telephone communication with Mr..
Holmes Monday afternoon, and the lat
ter gentleman promised to have the mat
ter all arranged for the city council by
the latter part of the week. Mr. Early
says he had also received assurance from
the railroad people that the company i:
willing to grant sewer privileges on the
railroad Tight-of-way.

Will Grow Dry Alfalfa.

B. F. Shoemaker, whose land lies
above the line of the Farmers Irrigating
ditch, intends to make the best OF the
situation and grow dry alfalfa until
his neighbors of the upper West Side of
the valley find the means to put in an
irrigating ditch that will supply all the
water needed in that section of the val
ley.
Mr.. Shoemaker planted acres last
year as an experiment, and this year he
gathered four tons of hay to the acre of
dry alfalfa, which was produced with
out water. He believes there is money
in growing this crop, even without
water. In South Dakota he remembers
man who contracted to cut and put up
this same kind of dry alfalfa at the
low price of go cents ton. He says
the man made money at it.
With four tons to the acre in Hood
River, Mr.. Shoemaker figures that the
crop would pay good interest on 5000
land. He would allow 81 ton for cost
OF production. The crop is very easily
raised he says.
BY the use of water the alfalfa will
produce at least two tons more to the
acre Mr.. Shoemaker estimates the
cost OF irrigating so or 100 acres at $780,
One hundred dollars would easily cover
-the other items OF expense, which
leaves handsome profit on a l00-acre

Here to Buy Primes.

E. L. French, member of the French
Packing Co of Ellsworth, Wash, was
in Hood River during the week looking
for prunes. Mr.. French wants about
20 tons for his dr!er at Ellsworth, the
crop being almost complete failure in
Clark county he is compelled to secure
outside fruit to keep the dryer going.
Mr. French arranged with Joe Will
son to secure the prunes for him. Mr..
Wilson, after making inquiry, finds
there are between 80 and 40 tons of
prunes in the valley. Mr.. French
wanted only about half this amount,
says Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. French will pay
between $40 and SIS a ton for the green
fruit. Last year the growers secured $S
and $40.
The prune crop in the William
ette valley and Clark county is very
light this year. The largest prune or
chards in Hood River were grubbed out
last year, but what orchards were left
have good crop this year. The crop
is also heavy at Mosier.

First 1riton in India.

The first Englishman who is known
for certain to have gone out to India
was, according to recent correspon.
dent in an Indian paper, a certain
Thomas Stephens, a member of a we'll
so-do Wiltshire family and an Oxonian
fho landed somewhere near Goa about
che year 1879, and spent forty years in
esuit missionary work in Goo and thu
neighborhood. Stephens not only sue
"eeded in mastering Marathi and Kon
kari, which were the languages spoken
by the majority of the people on the
west coast, but left behind him among
-'ther works in Marathi of literary
merit the "Purana," an epic; and it is
in his capacity as the author of this
that Stephens name is best know
among the West Coast inhabitants.
The poem contains over 1000
strophes of four lines each. 1t mar
rates in a lofty style the events that
led up to the establishment of th~
Christian religion, and from the crea
ton to the ascension Of our Lord, who
figures as the hero of the epic. A
new edition of the "Purana" is to be
published in Mangalore, no printed
copy OF the work being now available.
