From Our Special Correspondent.
Most of the La Sauses boys are
leaving every day to work in the
hay camps.
Crops of peas and beans were
considerably damaged during May
and June by worms but at present
look all right.
The sheepmen of La Sauses
have sold their wool and are glad
to get such good prices for it this
year. They also expect to raise
good lambs this season and receive
good prices for them next fall as
the prospects are very bright.

New Box Factory Machinery,

The new band saw at the box factory
of the Davidson Fruit Go. Is certainly
hummer. THIS new piece of machin
cry does away with two other ma
chimes, In addition to reducing the
number of operators, increasing the
rapidity Of production and making
crates cost the grower less.
An inch board is sliced into halves
run through again and comes out in
quarter-inch thicknesses. A boy re-.
ceives the thin slices of wood as they
come from the saw.
Another interesting sight is the
machine which gOuges out the hand
holds In the ends of the berry crates.
The wood used in the construction of
the crates Is larch and white fir. Both
are very fine quality, and give off no
odor of pitch which the fruit is likely
to retain when packed in boxes made
of such lumber as pine.
The box factory is turning out about
70, 600 crates this summer. The grow
ers are hauling out the crates at a
rapid rate these days. A reduction
was made to the farmers who wanted
to purchase crates in knock down con-
dition, but many of the growers have
concluded it il decidedly easier to
have the crates nailed up at the fac
tory, and will buy them that way
hereafter.

IL a Local Institution.

A frst-c class chef has been secured
by the management Of the Country
Club Inn, and it Is the intention to
have this splendidly equipped resort
ready for guests in few days. The
number Of Portland visitors and East
ern tourists who are expected at the
Country Club Inn this summer will
be larger than ever.
Nesting among grove of large oaks
and seemingly set apart from the busy
whirl of the business world, yet but a
few moments walk from the depot, the
Inn offers decided attractions for the
business man and his family from the
city. Hood River has long been known
as beautiful summer resort, but in
the mad rush of commerclalism, this
factor in the country's resources has
been rather slighted Of recent years
Being within but few hours ride
from Portland, Hood River Is one Of
the most convenient and beautiful
outing places in the state.
Mr.. Batchelder regrets that the peo-
Pile of Hood River have not accepted
the Country Club Inn In the spirit of
a local institution. The supplies for
the hotel are all secured here and tho
summer hotel Is the means of bringing
many influential persons to Hood Riv-
or, who will toll of the recources of the
country to their friends, and in this
way the city has returned to 1t many
beneficial results.
Mr.. Batchelder has spent large sums
of money in advertising Hood River
and in Portland he has many people
questioning him daily about this won
derful fruit country. The o. r. & N.
last year pictured the Country Club
Inn in their annual book Of summer
resorts. When the fact becomes more
thoroughly advertised abroad that this
city has every convenience for sum
mer outing, many people from the
cities will make annual visits to Hood
River

Significance of Memorial Day.

William W. Blackmar, commander
in chief Of the Grand Army Of the Re
public, has sent out the following
order form his Boston headquarters,
urging the old soldier to remember
Memorial day, which is Tuesday, May
30:
"Killed in yesterdays battle "
dying in the field hospital. " bad
ly wounded. " "Wounded and in the
hands of the enemy"
Forty odd years ago my comrades,
we we're thus accounting for the rosy
checked, bright t-eyed, manly boys,
darlings Of their mothers, who with
the elastic step and merry laugh Of
youth marched by our sides as we babe
good bye to our homes and dear ones
and answered "Here am /, +" to the
call of our country, and cherred the
sad heart of our God given Lincoln
with the refrain, "We are coming
Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand strong.
Recall today the hastily delivered
message and token from these dying
boys as you grimly continued the
charge over their bodies or as you
sullenly retreated, most reluctantly,
leaving them on the field. You have
sacredly kept the promise hastily Civ
en- to your dying messmate: "les,
Jack, I'll tell your mother" " "Sure
Joe, your wife shall get your ring and
message. I" "Never doubt, Charlie,
your people shall know what brave
soldier you we're, how pluckily you
died to save your colors. "
As you moved carefully among the
dead and dying over the battlefield
after the fight was over; as you
walked through the rude field hospital
hopelessly searching for the comrade
you saw fall, but could not stop to
help, the dear boy who had been your
playmate at school, and to the appeal
Of whose weeping old mother as you
marched away you had tossed back
the cheering we'll meant promise, "I'll
take care of Billy" AS you steadied
yourself, and helped to bear across
the deck Of the battleship to the cock
pit, slippery with the life blood Of
your shipmates, the body of the sailor
boy with whom you had left home to
ship in your country's service.
Did you not promise the dying and
God for the dead, that your comrades
and their supreme sacrifice never
should be forgotten, that their de
pendent ones should be tenderly and
fully cared for? Have you kept that
sacred promiseY Our glorious Grand
Army of the Republic has helped you
to keep it. 1t has collected and help.
fully disbursed in relief millions Of
dollars 1t has made possible, kept
alive and cherished the sacred mem.
ories and friendships of the war. II
has established, by the order of one
of my honored predecessors, Com.
mander- in Chief Logan, and given tC
the world Memorial day on which day
you annually redeem your promise
to keep green the memory Of your
comrades by decorating their graves
with the fairest flowers of spring, OF
casting them upon the sea or the
rivers which flow from the mount,
aims to mingle with its waters, whicl
are the sailors winding sheet, and
by securing the services of your most
eloquent and gifted speakers to re,
count their deeds Of self sacrificing
devotion that our country might moi
be disgraced, dismembered and dc.
stroyed, but might live as a nation,
the grandest on the face of the globe.

Strictly GenuiUe,

Most Of the patent medicine testi-
monials are probably genuine. The
following notice recently appeared in
the Atchison (Kan.) Globe; Joe Tack,
a well known engineer, running on
the Missouri Pacific between Wichita
and Kiowa, lately appeared in big one
VITA picture and when he was in
this office today, we asked him about
it. He says he had terrific pains in his
stomach and thought he had cancer.

Regular Schedule on Portage Road.

The portage road around the Cello
rapids Is now completed and equipped,
and it will be put in operation as soon
az the minor details for opening the
road can be arranged. There will
probably be special observances of the
opening day, which will likely be set for
sometime next week.
1t has not yet been determined who
will be in charge of the road Mem
bers OF the commission are now con.
ducting correspondence regarding this
matter, but are not yet ready to make
auy announcement. AS soon as this
step is taken, final arrangements for
opening the road will be made at once.
The road will be operated under a
regular schedule. The opinion has been
generally expressed that trains on the
road would run only as the traffic de-
manded, but it Is the present intention
of the Portage Railway Commission to
establish regular scheCule.
The road is nine miles in length and
is well constructed. The equipment of
the road consists of one engine, eight
hNtcars, four boxcars, six stockcars and
one combination passenger and baggage
coach.

10000 PEOPLE

The city's spring on the Tucker
farm, as gauged by engineer W. j.
Roberts of Pullman, Wash, shows a
flow of |, 600, 600 gallons in "a hours,
or a supply sufficient for city of TO-
600 population.
Engineer Roberts was present at
the council meeting Monday night
and made this informal report. The
distance as surveyed, from the spring
to the street intersection near the
Ideal market is %, 800 feet, and the
fall in that distance is 1916 feet. II
is estimated that a 14-inch pipe will
be required for about %, 600 feet and
a l2-inch pipe for the remaining dis
tance.
The location of tho reservoir is
under construction, and Engineer
Roberts Is at work upon the proposed
distribution system. As soon as the
plans and estimates are submitted to
the council it is proposed to call an
election to see whether the citizens
wish to secure a municipal water sys-
TEN.
But little business was transacted
Monday night, besides the allowing
of some bills and the receiving Of
Engineer Roberts report. Mr.. Rob
erts has been secured by the water
committee of the council to find out
about what the proposed city water
system will cost, in order that the
taxpayers may have an intelligent con
ception of the question when voting
ON the proposition of bonding to So
cure city water.
Mcdonald reported for the street
committee that he had gone over the
city with the street commissioner and
ordered about 100 loads of gravel dis
tributed at the crossings and at points
along the street leading in from the
country.
Recorded Nickelsen made complaint
that number of drunken men in
the old Chinese wash house near his
implement wareroom raised a big dis
turbance every night, and that he
feared they might be the cause Of
serious fire in that end of the city.
Mcdonald thought the marshal should
look after the matter.
