HIGH PRICES FOR
MOSIER FRUIT LAND

Alexander Stewart, a Mosier mer-
chant, was in the city Saturday. Mr..
Stewart says many Portland men
have placed large amount of money
in Mosier real estate in the last
month or so. Many Fasteners are
also dropping into the country and
buying farms.
Among the recent real estate chang.
IS was the purchase of the Friend
ranch by DIR, McCrum of Portland,
who paid 5000 for the property. The
doctor will soon have 30 acres in or
chard. Mr. Howe of Portland bought
the W. II. Evans farm, paying $3.50
for 10 acres which Mr.. Evans secured
three years ago for $3.50. Mr.. Howe
will build new residence, and in
tends to clear the land for apples.
A.P Bateham has had from three to
10 men at work all year clearing land.
Mr.. BatelIam has 40 acres set to beI-
ries and will soon have 60 acres in or
chard. This place il one of the ear
lest on the river, strawberries ripen-
ing here as early as at White Salmon.
The chief varieties in the new apple
orchards consist of the standard New
towns and Spitzenbergs. To illustrate
the productiveness of Mosier soil,
George Carroll last year realized $500
from four acres planted to apples,
cherries and pears The apple trees,
by the way we're only four years old.
Mr., Stewart says the Mosier peo-
pie arc anxious to see a good wagon
road between this city and the Mo
sior valley, As it is now it Is eaiser
for Mosiorites to make the wagon
trip to The Dalles, 10 miles distant,
than to travel the almost impossible
six miles to Hood River. Many more
people would come to Hood River
if better road were constructed

Lots Of Fruit at The Dalles.

"Outside Of apples, I have never
seen the fruit in this section look bet
ter, and unless the latest cold snap
has been too severe land / do not
believe it has we will have an excer-
tional crop, " said Fruit Commissioner
Weber to the Chronicle.
Mr.. Weber says the apple crop will
not be so large as last year, but largo
enough. In other words, the fruit Will
not have to be thinned, as much as in
some years previous. Each year bettcr
grades of all kinds of fruit are being
introduced and orchardists are on
the road to perfection along that line
If the peach crop this year is al ybct-
ter than that Of last year, it n.,at he

BERRIES WILL BE
RIPE BY MAY |

c. d. More Of White Salmon be
lieves he will have ripe strawberries
the first week in May. If the weather
had continued warm during the pres
ent month, his berries would have
been ripe the latter part of April.
The berry crop ut White Salmon
promises to be large one No dam
age has been done by late frosts, and
the plants and berries are looking
fine.
May 3, is the earliest date when
berries have ripenod at Mr. Moore's
place, one Of the earliest on the Col
umbia river Had the warm weather
continued, this record would have
leen broken this spring, but as it is
he hopes to have ripe strawberries
the first week in May.
lie will begin setting tomato plants
this week. The fruit ripens later in
the summer and is as valuable a crop
as strawberries.

WASCO COUNTY
AFTER PRIZES

"WaSco county is going after the
| prizes at the Lewis and Clark fair,
and we intend to get them, too, re-
marked Judge Lake, who was in the
city Friday 90. l.. Schmidt, super
intendent of the Wasco county exhi-
bit, and myself we're in Portland last
week, and the managers of the exposi-
tlon told us we have made the best
showing so far of any county in the
state.
"Wasco county has nearly 800 boxes
of apples that have been kept in
cold storage during the winter, and
the floor space allotted to us, 30x32
feet, is the largest given to any coun-
ty in the state. We have one Of the
best loations in the building, near the
entrance, and close to the state eX-
hibit. There are no posts to obscure
the Wasco county booth.
''les, sir, we are going in to wn
the county prize and there is no
reason why we can't, We haven't
set aside any large sum yet, but
whatever it costs, the county is able
to pay for it. If it takes $4,000 or
5000 we are not going to hesitate on
that score. The money will be appro-
priated as needed, and we do not in
tend to go into the matter in half
hearted way. We intend to win, and
win we will.
Hood River will Of course have
fine exhibit of fruit, and Sentaor
johnson of Dufur told me the other
day the people of his city are en-
thusastic, and will do all they can
to help make the Wasco county ex-
hibit the best in the state. The Was
co Warehouse and Milling Co. will
send down an exhibit of flour, and
suppose the Hood River mill will do
likewise.
Zone of the striking features of
the exhibit will be pyramid of ma
tural and scowered wool, and we have
been assured of fine buck sheep to
top this off The pyramid will be
octagon in shape and inclosed with
glass, Wasco county is one of the
largest wool producing counties in
the state.
"When in Portland the other day,
Superintendent Schmidt and | se-
cured 30 dozen monogram plates on
which to display the apples and other
perishable fruits. Fifty glass globes
have been secured for exhibiting the
grain. and large number of large
glass jars will be used to hold straw
berries and other perishablo fruits,
| want Wasco county to win that
prize, and | don't care what part of
the county puts up the best part of
the exhibit. 1t will all be Wasco
county, and will be benefit to all
sections of the county, Every ex-
hibtor will get the credit for what he
shows there, and so will the locality
in which it is grown or manufactured
There will not be such another oppor-
tunity for exploiting the resources of
our country for years to come, and
We intend to take advantage of the
exposition for this purpose, and to
make name for Wasco county and
the people who live here.

BOTH SIDES STILL REMAIN FIRM
Farmers Determined Not to Sign Con.

Sufficient Price.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Willow Flat, East Hood River,
April Is. The water question seems
to be the general topic of discussion
with everybody. The subject of the
contract has been pretty well threshed
out on both sides, but we believe the
farmers are practically unanimous in
their resolve not to sign this contract
as offered by the East Fork company.
The farmers living in the lower East
Side are practically unanimous in
refusing to pay more than s. an inch,
many of the leading orchardists de-
claring it questionable whether the
water Is benefit or an injury.
At the meeting held Friday night
the committee who waited upon the
manager of the lrriagtion Co. report
ed that the manager declined to &C
cede to the terms Of the resolutions
that were presented to him. A com
mittoe Of five was finally selected to
investigate the lest plan of controlling
their own water supply. The general
sentiment seems to favor the organi-
Zatlon Of bonding district. We have
talked this plan over with several non
resident land owners and all have ex-
pressed their willingness to blace
their lands under bonding PROPOSE
ton.
If 6OOO or 7UOO acres could he oragn-
lied into such a district and bonded
for 4ong term OF years at low rate
of interest it Is believed an issue of
bonds amounting to SCI, 600 or S75, 600
could be tloated. Such bonds should
readily command premium on the
market.
Another meeting will be held at
Pine Grove Friday night, April 2S,
when the committee will make its
report.

THE MARINER BOLD.

A LONE, gray sky, and dim gray sky,
n With a life-sail fitting under,
And a mariner bold, with a heart
grown cold
In the ceaseless, aching wonder;
The wonder of life, and the wonder Of
strife,
And the wonder about the haven;
And the Tapping sails in the boisterous
gales,
And a soul erect or craven.
Yet on, straight on. through the boding
night,
The rack of the black skies under.
With only a glimpse of a distant light,
And the ceaseless. tireless wonder.
A harbor bright in a land of light,
And a life-bark anchored ever,
And mariner bold, with a dream untold
OF rest from the long endeavor;
And a sweet, sweet vision of endless
peace
The blue of the fair skies under,
And the knowledge that now shall surely
cease
The pain of the tlreless wonder.
So it's on, straight on. through gloom
and mist,
The rack of the black skies under,
Till the time-worn sails are by breezes
kissed
In the wondrous haven yonder.

EDUCATIONAL
INFLUENCE
BY WALLHGE RICE

<trv oW do we obtain the greatest
n educational infiuenceT am
asked. Through books, people
.and life. or through natureF
1t is a question that could be asked In an
euuca ..onal age only. when books lave
confounded the subject almost peyono
hope of repair and at no other time.
When white men were first brought into
contact with the American Indians tney
complained that the aborigines had no
words to express any OF their ideas. Tney
argued that they had no vocaoulafs "
amount to anything.
In Europe there are peasants VINO con-
trive to get through life without using
more than 500 words altogether from the
cradle to the grave, apd half or tnese
are used on Sunday only
AS the peasant Is, proverbially the STU
pidest of civilized mankind in the est-
nation of those who know more, IL was
concluded that the Indians were stiil
more limited In their range OF thought and
expression. This conception was AIDED
by the perfectly evident fact that the poor
Indian had no educational advantages.
So much for theory wrenched and twist
ed TO fit preconceived ideas. Later inves-
LEGATIONS prove that the aborigines have
a vocabulary richer than that OF the or
binary mechanic, and Of somewhat the
same sort. In abstract terms the Indian
is weak; in technical terms for his wea-
pons, the art Of the chase, the pursuit
of war, the aspects of nature, the habits
of birds and other living creatures, he
has the white man far surpassed In accu-
racy OF expression and precision OF de-
scription and definition. From his Vocao-
ulary alone important facts regarding
natural history have been gathered And
the best informed anthropologists give
him an intelligence higher than that OF
the average European.
This seems to answer the question as
between nature and books. But civilized
man is far from nature In the broader
sense, even closer to human nature in the
more restricted sense. 1t Is from his Tel
lows, his associates. that he learns the
important thing.
In the young play has greater eduea-
tional influence than study-a fact that
has led some educators (book-learning
folk) to conclude that all study should be
made form Of play, rather regardless
of the other fact that man Is doomed to
hard work at some time or other, II he
is to get along.
The venera ION for books and for print
ed matter generally is partly supersti-
tious. Yet book learning and education
are continually confounded. for books
are admitted to be life at second or third
hand.

Although military glory has diminished

has by no means become obsolete: yet it

THE JILT.

Mrs. wilkins Freeman, the novelist.
nodded toward an angular woman OF for

''You would hardly believe" she said,
chat she was once a very beautiful girl.
And she was as vain and selfish as she
was beautiful. She Tilted three desirable
young men IN two years.
"She had, l suppose, a good time while
her beauty lasted. Now her beauty is
gone, and she is alone in the world-a
hard, cruel old woman with a bitter
tongue.
And If she once triumphed over men,
men now, IL they are vindictive and cruel
enough, may triumph over her.
Zone of the men she Tilted was suf-
ficiently cruel and vindictive for such a
triumph She met him a few years ago

'Yes?" said Saint Peter. musingly, as
he casually glanced at the self-made
mans life record. 1.-THE prospect does
seem bad, very bad but there still is
one chance for you-one slight chance"
What do you mean?' the self-made
man haughtily inquired.
why, your chance-er-that is-well.
are you ashamed of the job?'
The selfmade man still is unable TO
comprehend why he was requested to go
down and shovel coal in the cellar.
But let nobody worry on this account.
He will have all the time that is needed
for the requirement of the idea
