These big profits, Mr.. Smith said,
come from light cost of production and
heavy demand for the fruit. Cost of
cultivation and spraying and picking
I'd packing and hauling to the rail-
oad, etc, he said does not come to
more than SO cents a box, and the
'rrower sold the fruit last year at $2.10
n box for SpitZenburgs and $1.75 box
for Yellow Newtons
"And crop failures don't occur" said
Mr. Smith, "for the country has plenty
of water from the reservoir SHOWS of
Mount Hood and there are no damag-
ing frosts.
I'm five years." he explained, 'you

are the best apples in the world and

River can turn out fine apples, but we
en- beat 'em. We have a valley as
Zig as pocket handkerchief, so to
speak, but we send out more fruit than
the whole of Jackson county"
The right-sized apple farm, in Mr..
Smiths opinion, is 20 acres, and 40

your own boss, hold your head high
and don't be a slave clerk or lawyer
in. the city-such is the advice of E.
L. Smith, of Hood River, president OF
the Oregon board of horticulture. And
Mr. Smith says that the apple Eden
is Hood River. Thus he spoke last
night as the autos whizzed by, leaving
their dizzy stencil and the street-cars
their noisy changing, says a writer in
the Portland Oregonian.
According to Mr. Smith, 7-year-old
orchards easily make from S1OO to
$3.50 an acre every year and 1O-yea1
old 5000. "a man near my place"
said he, with five acres, makes $1,40u
or $1,000 year. Another man with
269 trees, cleaned up $4,000 last year.
l had an orchard whose profits
amounted to $3.50 an acre. From 5000
to $3.50 yearly profits to the acre are
quite common and in several unusual
cases the profits have been $1,000 an
acre."

pillow, Tor any other may be used), l
fasten my light harrow to a good roller

down and brings up enough fresh

not an ideal relation for a govern

peace" is a disappointment to many.
The suddenness with which THE Japa-
less finally accepted the Russian ulti-
matum makes many people that the
oession of the Island of Sakhalin
would have been premature while q
large element of the people seem of
the opinion that another trial with
arms with it's chances of victory would
have been preferable to the presetn
peace. The reception OF the news mere
today shows plainly that the war has
been foreign to the masses who in no
sense have been in sympathy with its
objects. More intelligent classes OF
tho population have never shown any
capacity for appreciating the plans
and ideas of the government and seem
TO have lost sight of the vital interests
OF the state because of the revelations
OF official corruption discovered iii
with the Falu enterprises
and as a result of the unpreparedness
and incapacity of the army and navy
to cope with the problem and also be-
cause they have been fully occupied
at home with the struggle to obtain
a representative government.
