Visitor Sees Prosperity Here.

F. NJ. Rinehart of Condor spent Sat.
urday and Sunday in Hood River, re.
turning Monday morning. Mr. Rine.
hart had come down to make visit to
his nephew, 0. A. Rinehart, but found
him absent in Idaho. Mr.. Rinehart
while here stopped at the home of Mr.
Ewers, his nephew's neighbor on the
hill. Sunday he took drive to the up,
per part of the valley.
Mr.. Rinehart thinks Hood River a
fine country. The splendid homes OF
the farmers and the many thrifty apple
orchards gave him the impression that
this is prosperous community.
Mr.. Rinehart has a homestead about
six miles west of Condor in the heart Of
the wheat country. Land there is held
at SIS to $50 an acre, and this year pro-
duced an average wheat yield of 20
bushels to the acre. The railroad now
building from Arlington to Condor will
be the making of Southern Gillian
county. 1t cost as much as the wheat
was worth to haul it 40 miles to Airing
ton, and when the road is completed the
farmers will be getting just twice the
price they are now getting, says Mr..
Rinehart.

BELIEVES DAIRY
WOULD PAY HERE

"After reading the references tha
have been made in the Glacier the las
week or two that a creamery is needed
in Hood River, / took the pains to notice
the many fields of clover throughout the
valley, as drove out this morning, and
l can't help thinking these clover fields
after the hay has been cut should be
used for pasturing dairy cows, remarked
Charles f. Warren to a Glacier man
last Saturday.
with the price of clover hay $l4 a
ton, of course it would hardly pay to
feed it to cows, but with a surplus OF
hay in the valley the price will naturally
come down, and then the dairy business
should pay well here.
"Fine creamery butter is manufacture
ed at Corvallis and Hillsboro and all
through the Willamette valley where
the farmers have gone extensively into
the dairy business. The farmers there
have found the dairy business profitable
and there is every reason to believe it
would be paying proposition here.
"lf some enterprising firm were to put
in dairy plant at Hood River and
establish cream routs over the valley,
the farmers could afford to keep half
dozen cows and buy separators. After
the cream is separated the skim milk
could be fed to pigs, and thus encourage
another byproduct of the fruit farms"

f. l.. Smith returned Monday night
from Grants Pass, where as president
of the Oregon Development league, he
attended the Development league meet
ing in that city last week. Mr.. Smith
says it was a splendid gathering of rep
resentative citizens of Southern Oregon.
Everyone seemed imbued with the
development movement.
Judge Cake, Tom Richardson and
W. f. Conan accompanied Mr.. Smith
as representatives of the Portland Com
mercal club. AT Roseburg, the South
ern Pacific took on a special car for the
delegates, and there were delegations
from Jacksonville, Medford and Ash
land, headed by the mayors of the
towns.
Returning Mr.. Smith stopped off at
Salem to visit the Wallace orchard in
Polk county. Mr.. Wallace has just
gathered 163 tons of Bartlett pears from
his orchard. Mr.. Smith secured sam
Piles of eight varieties of pears from this
orchard, which he will put on exhibi-
tion at the fruit fair for those who are
interested in setting out pear orchards
at Hood River.
At Grants Pass, Mr.. Smith visited
the 35-acre orchard of Eisman Bros.
THIS orchard has 10000 boxes of apples
this year. The proprietors recently
sold 1000 boxes of Spitzenbergs to Page
& Son for $3.50 box. Mr.. Smith says
this orchard, few years ago, was badly
affected with anthracnose or dead rot,
and had it not been for Commissioner
Newell and Professor Cordley of the
Oregon Agricultural college, the orchard
would have been a total loss by this
time. These gentlemen made study
of the dead rot, and found that it could
be destroyed with fall spray contain
ing double the usual quantity Of
copperas.

Entitled To All The Credit We Get.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Acres of South
Bend, Pacific county, Wash, visited
last week in Hood River with theil
former neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. S. A
Knapp. Mrs. Acres says she had
always heard so much about Hood
River that she was glad to have seen
the country and town. What she saw
here surprised her, and she enthusias-
tically remarked that Hood River was
well entitled to all the good things said
about the country and more, too.
Mr.. Acres has a farm at Mosier. He
is the county surveyor at South Bend.
Mr., Knapp, who came to Hood River
from Pacific county, says that is a
great country, with valuable resources
in numbering, fisheries, oyster beds,
dairying, etc, but as a place Of resi-
dence it doesn't begin to compare with
Hood River. The country is off the
main line of the railroads, and the
transportation accommodations are
therefore very poor. The rainfall there
is greatly in excess of this country.

SHIP CAR APPLES
TO CALIFORNIA

A car of mixed varieties of early fall
apples was shipped Tuesday by the
Hood River Applegrowers' union to
markets in Southern California. The
Portland market is reported very poor
for apples.
The car of wrapping papers for apples
arrived last Saturday. Manager Shep-
ard sent out notices Friday to the apple
men, notifying them OF the arrival Of
the car of paper and requesting them
to come early to avoid the rush in get
ting their paper from the car. Mr..
Shepard says Monday morning there
was big rush of farmers to town and
over half the car was unloaded that
morning.
The carload of paper represented
$4,000 pounds of wrapping, lining and
laying paper. By buying the paper in
bulk the growers saved about one cent
box, sufficient to cover the cost of
hauling their apples to the warehouse
in town.
W. ]. Baker received word Monday
that car of pears shipped by him to
Chicago will net him about 20 cents a
box. The fruit sold in Chicago from
81 25 to $l.70 in market where other
pears, well packed, were bringing 1925.
The pears from Mr.. Bakers place were
packed in hurry by green hands, and
although they arrived in first class con-
dition in Chicago, the slack pack cut
down the returns.
G. R. Castner, member of the board
of directors of the Hood River Apple
growers union, states that the recent
sale Of apples secured by Page & Son
brought $2.lo box for the four-ter
Spitzenbergs, and $l.75 for the four-tier
Newtowns.
The $2.l0 figure permits but 20 per
cent to be 1888; those in excess of this
number going at $1.75. The light col
ored Spitz under 112 went for $l60.
All Newtowns, 411a-tier and less, went
for $l,25. The total sale included 80
cars of Spitzenbergs and Newtowns.
Two cars OF Baldwins went for 81, and
two cars of Kings at the same figure.
Mr.. Castner says many inquiries are
coming in for apples from all parts of
the United States. New Orleans is
willing to pay a good price for Ben
Davis. New York and Philadelphia
also want apples.

Masonic Lodge At Trout Lake

A Masonic lodge was constituted at
Trout Lake last Wednesday night with
81 charter members. Judge Miller
deputy Grand Master for the state o
Washington was present as installing
officer Among the other visiting ma
sons were Messrs. Brooks, VanVactor
Lytle, Cooley, and Timblin from Col
dendale, and Mr.. Carpenter from Cen
terville. Two other gentlemen accom-
panied Judge Miller from Vancouver.
1t was the intention to send dele
CATION from Hood River, but at the
last moment all who intended to make
the trip found it impossible to leave
their business.
The following are the officers intalled
bv the Trout Lake Masons:
William Coate, master; o. J. Smith
senior warden; Edward Duncan, junior
warden; B. c. Hamilton, secretary
George Kreps, treasurer; Frank Coate,
senior deacon ;Al Bertchi,j Junior deacon
Chris Guler has been deputized senior
warden in the absence of o j. Smith.
William Staddleman, Chris euler and
John Dethman were in Hood River
Monday and reported the organization
of the lodge to the Glacier. From what
Mr.. Staddleman says, his friend euler,
the first man made a Mason at Trout
Lake, rode the goat wrong end to, but
Guler's story didn't corroborate the
statement.
Dethman was on his way to Vancou-
yer land office to make final payment
ON a timber claim he owns on the Little
White Salmon. Mr.. Dethman believes
he has a fine piece of timber, and is not
anxious to sell. He is now homestead

Just The Ladder For Orchards,

A big shipment of the Zaun fruit lad
ders arrived at Waits feed store last
week, and every farmer who has seen
the ladder is taking one home with him
They are the proper thing for fruit men
that's no mistake. They can be used as
an ordinary step ladder and in mo-.
ment can be extended to twice their
length. Made of light material they are
easy to handle. Iron bolts and rods
make them firm and stout, and it is q
wonder how the apple men have got
along so long without them.
Wait sells them at 1878 apiece. But
if two are taken he will knock off sc
cents, or if a farmer buys 1000 apple
boxes from him, he makes the fruit
grower present of ladder.

Hunters, Horses Take French Leave

d. Mcdonald and Robert Leasure left
last week for Cloud Cap Inn to hunt for
deer. The first night out, the horses
were staked near camp, but they were
frightened at something, presumably a
deer, and breaking loose they left for
home, Mr.. McDonald's coming all the
way back to Hood River and walking
into the barn.
The hunters got no game. They were
able to see plenty of it in the woods, but
everything under foot was so dry that
the deer made themselves scarce at the
approach of the gunners.
Returning home, other horses were
secured at the Mount Hood store, and
the Journey continued uninterrupted.

WANT HOOD RIVER
FRUIT AT ST. LOUIS

Charles f.. Warrens, member of the
Lewis and Clark fair commission, writes
to the Glacier that it is time the Hood
River farmers began to make prepara.
tion to set aside their finest fruit for dis
play at the st. Louis exposition, also
for the Lewis and Clark fair.
=" If any grower, or several growers to-
gether, can select at least half dozen
boxes of extra fancy apples of any one
variety, the state board would be very
glad to learn of ii" says Mr.. Warrens.
''They would make all arrangements
for shipping to st, Louis and pay all
expenses, but there must be not less
than 800 apples of any one variety. /
would like to see the Hood River grow
ers send full display of every variety
that does well in their vicinity"

Jasper Wickham Home From Iowa.

Jasper Wickham returned Monday
morning from Iowa, where he went to
settle up affairs connected with the
estate of his deceased father. Mr..
Wickham had not been east for 20 years.
He says the greatest changes noticed
was in the people-many of them had
grown old since he lived among them.
There are better buildings on the
farms, but the same corn, oats and hogs
are raised as of old. Mr.. Wickham
thought Iowa looked very good to him.
He thinks the farmers there have more
leisure time than they do at Hood
River.
While East Mr.. Wickham had the
good fortune to attend several harvest
gatherings and pioneer reunions, where
he had the opportunity to meet many
of his old time friends, all of whom
were glad to see him and to learn of the
Oregon country.
Returning, Mr.. Wickham spent Sun
day in the city of Spokane. He was
there in 1888, when that town was Gut
a village. Now it is a bustling city of
10000 population. The city is well
built with substantial business blocks
and handsome dwellings.
Mr.. Wickham says there have been
great changes in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
in the last few years. Many large man
ufacturing plants have been established
there, and the town has grown from
5000 population to 10000. While there
Mr.. Wickham went through the largest
oatmeal factory in the world.

LINGUISTIC
People Who VIII Not Stop to Think
the Exact Word Needed.

the Exact Word Needed.
II. w. Horwtll in the Critic: The
zlaziness Of all laziness is the practice
OF coming unnecessary new words. It
might have been supposed that, when
there Is already in existence a word
which exactly denotes the idea to be
expressed, 1t would be easier to fan
back upon his word than to invent an.
other. In fact, however, it often re-
quires less effort to construct a lin
guistlc monstrosity than to find the
term that has been consecrated by
good usage. Take, for instance, such
words as "extinguishment." reveal
ment," "Wtthdrawment," "dsvelop-
ment," "denotement' and "s,artle-
mental process. The word "extinguish'
was IN the speakers mind. He wanted
a noun and to stick 'ment" on to the
verb was an expedient nearer to hand
than the search for "extinction." Occa-
sionally the quick change Is from the
noun to the verb. When a man saws
to adininistrate." we may be sure that
and that he was then in too great a
hurry to notice that the analogy with
such pairs as celebrate" and "celebra-
ton" would mislead him. If one were
making a collection of linguistic curios
one might add to it such exhibits as
"'propellat1on," "affirmance," ellen
tage," ..reminiscential," "moveless"
Evolutionary" "leisuristic," "unsympa-
thy" and "bishoply." In the mind OF
the offender there seems almost to be
lurking a kind Of predatory false anal
ogy which grabs at his expressions and
distorts them before he can help him
self.
Is 1t too late to purify our speech
from these mischievous tendencies. or
must we be content to Sc a great Ian
guage turned into shoddy? Certainly
the effectiveness of English as an or
gan OF thought is weakened by the
careless use of its vocabulary. The
