HOOD RIVER
DAY AT FAIR

tion period in the matter of size.
Hood River day at the exposition
proved big occasion. Everyone of
the. eXcursionists was at the grounds
by 10 o'clock and everyone else at the
fair knew Hood River, was in evidence.
Not by noisy demonstrations or
gaudy banners or big parades, music
and speechmaking, but through dis
play of unstinted liherality and hospi-
tality. Exactly 5000 fine apples we're
given away, and there is no eloquence
that reaches exposition crowds quite
so readily or quite so fully as do pres
tnts of fine fruit.
1t had been intended to hold exer.
cises at the Wasco county booth, and
program had been prepared, but at
the last moment this was done away
with in order to expedite the distri-
hutton of famed Hood River apples.
From II a. m. until we'll along in the
afternoon three attendants we're busy
handing out apples. The crowd that
claimed this offering was built on the
order of phalanX. No sooner would
the front of the line drop out burden
ed with apples than others would i'm
mediately take their place. The dis
tribution was supervised by E. L.
Smith and E. W. Shepard of Hood
River.
While the excursion was organized
by the Hood River Commercial club,
every citizen of the place and every
resident of Hood River valley seemed
to consider himself part of the pro-
motion committee. For many days
past the coming day at the fair has
been the prime topic of conversation
And it was not all talk, for people up
Hood River way have a commendable
pride in their section of the globe,
and thus the greatest excursion of
the exposition was organized.
While goodly percentage of the
visitors came from the town, the at
tendance from the country was heavy.
At daylight yesterday morning the
roads leading to Hood River we're
filled with conveyances of every des-
criptiOn. There we're buggies, lum-
bering farm wagons, saddle horses and
carts, all bearing their burdens of
loyal humanity. A few determined
ones came on foot. The o. r. & N.
company made them a liberal rate
about enough to pay for aXlegrease
and the conductors salary. The first
excursion train was filled quickly,
leaving a multitude to follow later.
Many of the visitors returned home
on the evening trains, although large
number remained over for today and
Portland day. These are making the
Wasco county booth, in the Agricul-
tural palace, their headquarters.

Hood River Day Mt the Fair,
Portland journal Editorial.


About GO miles east of Portland and
sloping from the north side of Mount
Hood to the Columbia river is a valley
lying ON both sides of Hood river,
that has gained world wide reputation
on account of its fruit, particularly
its apples and straw berries. A quarter
of century ago its inhabitants we're
few; now they number several thou
sa ds, and there is no more prosper
ous, contented community in the
country. The early settlers there dis
covered that the soil and climate we're
particularly adapted to the raising of
these fruits, others went in there and
joined the pioneers In this occupation,
and now scores of carloads Of straw
berries are shipped from there every
summer, while the Hood River apples
are celebated not only in all large
American cities, but in Europe and
across the Pacific, bringing, it is said,
the highest price paid for apples in
the world.
Once an orchard is in bearing it is
very profitable, frequently netting
the growers 500 or $500 an acre annu-
ally and occasionally much more than
this. Other products can be and are
raised there; the soil is rich, timber
and water are plentiful; few acres is
all that a man needs to support a
family; and there is room there for
thousands more. 1t has been estimat-
ed that not more than one-tenth the
area Of Hood River valley is yet fully
utilized. The stream of that name
and others furnish abundant water
power, and there is no reason why
this remarkable valley should not in
time contain 25,0 600 or 80, 600 people,
Of which due proportion will be in
habitants Of the tiourishing city Of
Hood River. While western Oregon
produces fine apples and other fruits
the climate is not such as to give them
the delightful tart flavor that makes
Hood River and southern Oregon
fruits famous. Apple raising is a
growing industry in Oregon, and will
become a very profitable one, and
Hood River valley will continue to be
a leading and favorite region in which
to pursue this pleasant and profitable
occupation. This is Hood River day
at the Lewis and Clark exposition, and
the good people of that town and val
ley are here in force. They are not
deferred by a little rain; they are used
to that; and they are properly proud
of their products, which, especially
the big red apples, are much in evil
dence. Eastern people will all, We
hope, have an opportunity to test this
delicious fluit, and having done so, it
is safe to say that they will agree that
these apples cannot be excelled. The
people of Hood River, though most of
them own comparatively small tracts
of land, are thrifty, prosperous and
progressive. They comprise wide
awake community such as the whole
state can point to with pride and
pleasure. They have helped to make
the fair a success, and we hope they
will enjoy it and profit by it.

carried to their extreme limit in Chi
ma" he said. There, when any one
becomes seriously i'll, a consultation of
fifteen or twenty doctors is held. The
doctors fill the house with their ar
guments. They make as much noise
as a political convention. But such
a consultation as that would be con-
sidered small and futile if a great man
"a mandarin, say, Of the third class
were to be i'll. To consult on his case
at least a hundred doctors would gath
er together. A member of the royal
family was taken sick while / was in
China, and my Chinese host told me
with a good deal of pride that the
largest consultation known to history
had been held over the sick man. No
fewer than 316 physicians he said, had

and, therefore. carries expediency with
it. The expansion of Great Britain
and the United States into all quar-
ters of the globe and the natural Sc
quence of the language explain this
state of affairs. If the march of the
language continues it will eventually
be the most useful and most widely
spoken of ,an the standard tongues of
literature and civilization.
The preference Of the japanese rep
.resentatives for English is ascribed by
some to their scant knowledge of
French. but the circumstance is no
less valuable in indicating the favor
with which the Japanese people re-
gard Anglo Saxon institutions, wheth-
er they spring from Great Britain or
the United States.
The tie of language is a strong one.
1t begets a friendship that is but little
removed from kinship. The avidity
with which the youth of Japan are
learning English, together with the in
cident of the peace ENJOYS, augurs
we'll, therefore, for closer relations
among Great Britain, the United
States and Japan in future than have
yet existed.

this spread of the English tongue. 1t

In Justice to the West.

Speaking of the fragrant gambling
in New York the World points out
that it is unfair TO say that Saratoga
is running wide open. like a mining
camp
In the genuine mining camp of the
west, as the New York World sug-
gests, the roulette wheel spins in full
view of passers- by. At Canfelds the
gaming place is screened from the
street, but not from the restaurant
where ladies dine.
In an Arizona or New Mexico camp
a city marshal or policeman may
watch the faro-dealer in a public-spir-
tied way and perhaps try his own luck.
At the New York spa the police are
more likely to find it to their interest
to keep out of sight around the cor
ner.
The rough west treats its vices
frankly. It lacks the virtue of by
pocrisy. It will license gambling. and
it will run a crooked gambler out of
town between two days.

An Interesting Comparison.

Professor Werner Sombart Of Bres-
au, Germany. has been investigating
khe manner in which American work
kgmen live with a view to cOmpar-
g their condition with the condition
Gf Germans of the same class. The
eturns are all in favor of the Ameri-
ans. and the publication of Professor
hombarts conclusions in Das Leben,
Berlin, is calculated to cause a rush
of Germans TO America. Professor
Sombart was amazed at the homes of
American workmen, their bathrooms,
meals. cleanliness.
The German speaks of the neatness
of American working girls, their good
clothes and their general appearance
of good living and sound health. How
far ahead, even of some German So
ciety ladies, in style and elegance"
he says. Then Professor Sombart in
stitutes some comparisons. He says:
According to the reports of the
American labor department, the aver
age workingman's family lives in a
dwelling place of five rooms. This
may be an abnormal housing condi-
ton, but certainly the average num-
Der of rooms enjoyed by American
workers is not under four, while in
Germany the average is two. For this
abundant satisfaction in the way of
housing the American workman pays
absolutely no more than the German
for smaller dwellings. He moreover
pays a comparatively small part Of his
wages for it. Above all, the Ameri-
can eats more meat than does the
German workman; fruit is literally
consumed. and enormous quantities of
sugar are eaten. Bread and fruit are
used normally. There are fewer po-
tatoes. eggs, milk and vegetables eat
en-, but butter and lard in large guam
titles"
That certainly is a good showing for
4 he American workmen. To be two
8 nd three times as well off as his Ger
man brother in the same occupation,
= nd for the fact to be admitted by
German student, is a feather that
Il worthy a place in the Americans
8 zap. But there, we have known it all
s1he time. And we are glad our for
eign friends are coming around to an
understanding of the situation. They
have been d long time coming, but
they have arrived at last.
The American worker is better off
ahan the worker in an other country
under the sun. However, that is not
q sufficient reason why he should be
entirely satisfied with his condition.
one beauty about this country is that
the toiIer of today may be the CAPT
talist of tomorrow. He may be more
than a mere capitalist, he may be
useful public spirited citizen.

Penetrating the Esrth,s Crust.

has suggested the value to science
and human knowledge of exploring the
earth's crust by cutting a hole straight
through the supposed shell, which, it
is conjectured. will require a shaft of
about twelve miles in depth.
Ones off-hand opinion will pro-
nOunce this scheme as visionary; but
John Bell Simpson, an eminent Brit

He would locate the whole where it
would be as clear as possible of water
bearing strata, and below sea level, if
possible. 1t would be of the size of a
coal mine shaft. and sunk in half mile
stages, each stage being separate from
that above and below it Electrical
machinery for operations on the half
mile stage below would be placed at
each landing, and at each two or three
miles locks TO equalize the air pres

carrying the ever-increasing heat Of
the depths to the surface would have
to be devised. Large vertical steel
pipes filed with brine are suggested
for this purpose. Powerful refriger-
ating machinery would have to be in

means not only would an endurable
temperature be secured. but the ma
