ing facts about that country. He
thinks 1t one Of the greatest fruit
growing countries in existence. and
no one is better qualified to know
what 1t takes to make good fruit
country than our friend Laraway, as
Ills successful experience in this eoun-
ty demonstrates. He brought back
some very tine samples of apples grown
there and says tina nearly their entire
output is exported at prices ranging
from ~. % to $500 per box. A box
holds about bushel. The best seller
seems to be the Spitzenburg and there
Is Newtown Pippin that is very fine
and the Jonathan is rated about
fourth class. The orchards or fruit
ranches as they are called are all cul-
tivated, as well as Their other crops
and as thoroughly as are any crops
here.
They also carefully look after the
spraying of their orchards. The main
object in cultivating the orchards is
to keep down all foreign objects which
will furnish b eeding places for in
sects Injurious to the trees. For that
reason he says that they do not use
board fences around the orchards.
Mr.. Laraway also shows numerous
pictures that he has taken OF orchards
and SC merry in that country that are
very interesting. He shows four and
hve year cid trees heavily loaded with
apples, aud also shows two year
old tree with nice apples on. Mr..
Laraway has two ranches in that vi.
cinity which he is rapidly setting to
trees.
He told of one man selling the crop
from 73 trees for over $500 which
shows that they are profitable crop.
The small fruit industry is large
there too. Last year 80 car loads Of
strawberries we're shipped out from
that point, l3 cars being the largest
shipment of any one day. There are
800 acres set to Strawberries in the
radi"s of Hood Rivers market and
300 acres of applo trees and more is
being planted each year.
Mr.. Laraway has nice home in
Hood River which is town of some
ZOO inhabitants and also has well
equipped jewellery store which is op-
Grated by his son Ralph. His son
Percy is out on one of the ranches,
and he expects to return there after
the holidays as he hae disposed of his
home in Glenwood. Seth will contin-
ne the jewelry business IN Glenwood.
Mr.. Laraway has been SO long con-
nected actively with the business in
terests of Mills county that it will
seem strange without him here.
He intends however to divide his
time between his western interests
and this county and will be here a
part of the time each year.

BURGLARS AT WORK
IN MOSIER STORE

Abont $3.50 Monday morning burg
lers entered the general store OF
Alex Stewart at Mosier and stole the
cash register. The robbers first
forced their way into the blacksmith
shop and securing tools sawed a square
piece of wood out Of the store door,
which permitted them to reach the
bolt and withdraw it. Entering they
took the $3.50 cash register and car
ried it out bodily. BY circuitous
route they lugged it down to the wa
ter tank several hundred feet from
the railroad station and there blew
1t open, securing $40 in cash.
A woman who happened to be up at
the time dressing for tho early morn
ing train heard the noise of the ex-
plosion and gave the alarm. Investi-
cation discovered the store door open
and the valuable cash register blown
to atoms. AS the keys of the ma
chine were hanging alongside Of it,
it is evident that the robbers did not
make any search of the premises, but
hurried out with their booty as soon
as possible. Nothing else in the store
was taken or disturbed.
A search was made for the perpetra-
tors of the act, but they could not be
found. Sheriff Sexton of The Dalles
was notified and with two deputies
visited the scene of the robbery.

Chinese DRIVERS
COME TO GRIEF

While hauling wood from the Ore
gon Lumber company's mill last
Thursday, Omy and another Chinaman
who was helping him, met with bad
mishap. On the steep hill near the
Button place the harness became dis
arranged and the wagon was loosened
from the horses. The vehicle ran
back and struck the unfortunate Omy
who was behind it and knocked him
down. Two wheels passed over his
body and be was so badly injured that
he had to be taken 10 the hospital.
After an examination by physician
it was discovered that he was in a
critical condition and he was removed
to Portland and placed in hospital
there.
Last Saturday Chinaman who sue
ceeded Omy as driver, met with a
similar accident Oh almost the same
spot, but was more fortunate. Not
having Rad the wagon repaired, he
tried to drive down the hill just this
side of Rocky Point with the horse
hitched to the axle AS there was
no way Of keeping the wagon back
when once started, it plunged into
the horse, soaring it so badly that it
started on a run 1t also knocked
Omy's successor down, and he became
entangled in one of the wheels, but
held on to the lines and was dragged
as far as the center of the bridge,
where the horse was caught by gen.
tleman who lives on the east side, who
was driving over the bridge and saw
the accident in tim to jump from
his veg IN. When he did so the horse
ho was driving sTerv d around on the
structure and started back to town,
but was caught tetore going very far.
The driver of the shaftless vehicle
was not very badly injured and was
able to proceed on his way, 1t would
be safer fer the general community if
these ain ond eyed sons of China
Guild adept the nse of the ijnriksha
and harness themt elves to it, than try
to operate the more modern American
vehicle

Miayes Bros, who have conducted
the Central Market In this city for
some time, have sold it to Woods
Bros. of The Dalles, who viii take
charge of the business shortly. 1t is
the intention of Woods Bros, to put
in an entire new equipment and make
his one of the finest markets in the
county. Ed Mayes has been retained
as salesman of the new concern and
will continue to greet his customers at
the old stand. II is not likely that
there will any changes in the fittings

firm have so much business on hand
at The Dalles at present that they

got busy. About one hundred residents.
armed with fence rails and clubs. made an
unannounced call on the newly opened

the windows and fittings. Then the stock
Of liquor was hauled out on the wharf and
spilled by the islanders, who had concluded
several days ago not to allow another rum
shop to be opened.
Il was . quiet crowd, and, aside from
the closing up Of this place, there was no
disturbance. Hunt and Collins belong In
Eastport. They had gone over the border
several months ago when warrants were
issued a Eastport for selling liquor and
since then they have been at Campobello.
With the sturgis law in force not one
barroom IL open in Passport. and conse-
ouently much trade has been directed over
the border to Campobello.
Collins and Hunt are both Americans,
but Il is not likely that they will make any
claim for damages.
