their part toward developing the place
and eultivating the productive soil.
1t was through the cooperative plan
that Clark City was established, five
hundred persons contributing to the
sum used to purchase the 1000 acres for
the small farms and for the home sites
in the town at first cost or wholesale
rates. No member of the club in ad-
vance knew what tract or lot he would
secure. The allotments were made by
drawing conducted by the club men,
bership. Some secured valuable busi-
ness lots, and all were satisfied. A few
of the lots remain to be disposed of on
the club plan at a cost of $3.50 each
The last drawing will be held at the
chamber of commerce assembly room
on Wednesday.
1t is stated that the association will
soon form another club and establish
another city in California.

LOOK OUT FOR ROUP
The Best Way To Save Fatalities is
Prevention.

IL is said that there is an epidemic
of roup in some parts of the country
affecting flocks that are we'll cared
for as we'll as neglected fioeks. To
avoid roupy colds and roup, it Is
necessary to be constantly on guard
Crowdiug the roosts should not be
tolerated yards and runs should be
freshened and disinfected. pure
water should be given in clean YES
sells and the fowls system kept up
by plenty of good. nnurishing food
The fact that food influences the
flavor should be sufficient to insure
that sweet. clean feed only be fed
to the hens if the danger OF roup
from insufficient and poor food were
not taken into consideration We
know one breeder of fancy poui-
try in England whose only treat
ment for colds and roup Is a series
of good feeds to the fowls. He gives
soft feeds and mashes with a judici-
Gus amount of animal food and SAYS
that every bird worth saving is saw
ed by this system He also claims
that the only way to build up a flock
of great vigor and prolificacy Is by
means of feed II never saw a law
ing hen that was not a we'll fed hen.
and many of my best layers have
been fat hens he added.
feed OF onions is always q good
tonic for the flock and in addition
plenty OF green food should be fed.
A foul requires roughness as. well as
a COW, and this is best fed in the form
OF clover. alfalfa or roots Doctor
ing poultry is expensive. Avoid il
by keeping "A supply Of sharp grit.

scraps before the fowls. In deep boxes

Sent First Apples to Teddy,

W. r. Winans, who lives the noun
tains at the falls of Hood River, has
the honor of sending the first box of
Hood River apples to President Roos-
evelt. The apples were sent to the
White House in October 1902, at the
close of the fruit fair in that year.
The apples were some pumpkins for
size and beauty and were judged pre-
MUM fruit at the fair. There we're
80 apples in the box, accompanied
by the following inscription.
''To Teddy Roosevelt and family:
From the wild and woody West,
Where the apple grows the best,
And the bears and mountain lions
love to roam;
Where manhood reigns serene mid
the rugged mountain scene,
And you meet the true rough rider in
his home" "

Trail Around Mount Hood.

Adolph Aschoff, supervisor of the
north half Of the Cascade Forest re-
serve, hopes to have a trail completed
early this summer between Lost lake
and Government camp at the head
waters of the Sandy. This is the first
work laid out by the supervisor for
his rangers When this trail is COM
pleted it will be possible to ride on
horseback the whole distance around
the base of Mount Hood. Trails from
the Barlow road around the east side
OF the mountain to Cloud Cap Inn
we're completed last summer.
These paths or trails are made for
the convenience of rangers in patrol
ing the forests, but will be open to
the use of tourists. The trip of 80
miles around the base of Mount Hood
near the snow line will furnish an
unique attraction to Eastern visitors
to the Lewis and Clark fair, says Mr..
Aschof, who regrets that an electric
road has not been constructed to the
mountain before this. He saws such
a road would have been paying at
traction this summer.
Supervisor Aschof is anxious, be-
cause of the light snow fall in the
mountains, to place his rangers in the
field by April 10. Supervisor Aschoff,
who was in this city today, says he
has never seen so little snow in the
mountains at this time of the year.
Mountain streams are lower now than
during the summer months, and some
of them have no water in them at all.
On Larch mountain, where Mr..
Aschof during the month of January,
he found the ground bare of snow,
where usually there is seven and ten
feet of snow at this season of the
year. At Marmot, Clackamas county,
grass has made splendid growth and
cattle are feeding on the range.
Guide Yocum was down from Gov
ernment Camp last week, says Mr..
Aschoff, and he reports having made
garden in the month of February, and
that early vegetables are already show
ing thier heads above the ground,
within few miles of the snow line of
Mount Hood. Fruit trees are in full
bloom at Marmot. Supervisor Aschoff
fears a frost will damage the fruit.

Eastern Fruit Notes.

Strawberries will be ripe at Alvin,
Texas, by April l.
At Decatur, Ark, strawberries are
in fine shape for a good crop. but
blackberries were damaged consider,
ably by the last cold snap. Peaches
are all killed. Pears were slightly in.
iured Plums, cherries and apples
are all right now. The outlook for
Strawberries is the best for years.
About 800 acres in Strawberries
were represented at meeting in Ty-
Ter, Texas, last week. 1t was resolved
that only the best fruit should be
packed and that there should be rigid
inspection. 1t is believed that this
policy will result in better prices and
in advertising berries shipped from
that county. Upon consultation it
was found that it will be necessary to
import pickers to handle the crop.
