AN INEXPENSIVE and
USEFUL TREE PROP

Eggermont, Hood River Valley, No.
vember 13. Editor Glacier: Much
has been written from time to time
about the proper care OF fruit trees,
especially of heavy laden apple trees.
We have all seen many clumsy devices
intended to serve as props for the
protection of the over burdened
branches of prolific tree, such as
'rked sticks, patched up pieces of
board and the like, all of which are
but troublesome makeshifts.
After considerable experimenting l
have evolved and have had in actual
use for more than two years what l
believe to be the simplest, most prac-
tical and altogether satisfactory tree
prop ever made in Hood River valley.
For the benefit of the grower In
general | submit the directions for
making the prop, which have chris
tened the "Eggermont Tree Prop"
Any one can very readily and at very
little expense supply himself with
this very easily made, quickly adjust
ed and most convenient form of one
of the most necessary applicants of
we'll kept orchard:
From any lumber mill got stock two
inches wide, by about one inch and
one-half thick, and sawed into six,
eight and ten foot lengths, in order
to have varying heights of props.
From one end of each, at an angle Of
40 degrees, saw a piece three inches
long for the sliding shoe. Place the
shoe on the side of the longer piece
and fasten with baling wire just tight
enough to hold the shoe firmly against
and parallel with the upright and at
the necessary height, but slack enough
to admit of turning the beveled face
of the shoe toward the prop and slid
ing it up or down as may be neces-
sary, returning it to its parallel posi-
tion when. adjusted. The wire may
be fastened to the back of the shoe
with nail or by passing it through
hole in the shoe.
Any bright boy could quickly COM
prehend the principle and easily make
this simple appliance, and any archi-
tect could in a. very short time make
for himself liberal supply for next
seasons yield which we all hope may
be so abundant as to need a most gen
erous support. HENRY AVERY.

DRAGGED 200 FEET
BY MOVING TRAIN

The crew of westhound extra
freight train which was pulling out of
Mosier Tuesday morning noticed a
man lying beside the 0. r. & N. track
just west of the station. The train
was stopped and investigation deYel-
oped the fact that he was very badly
injured, and as there is no doctor at
Mosier he was brought to this city
and laid on the floor of the railroad
station pending the arrival of the
company's physician, DR.. Watt.
On examination ii was found that
the ribs on the right 81 q cf the man e
body were broken and that he had
sustained other internal injuries. In
answer to questions by Chas. Dano
he said that his name was Jesse Her
them and that he lived three miles
from Chenowith, where he owned u
ranch adjoining that ( Joseph Hanna,
but had been working recently for
Harry Gilbert at Three Mile Creek,
Washington. Herthman was in great
pain and it was with difficulty that
he talked.
BY this time DIR. Watt who was at
tending him, returned with bandages
and materials for dressing the man g
injuries and he was made to rest
easier. When train No. | arrived he
was taken to The Dalles by County
Commissioner Hubbard and sent to
the hospital.
One of the train hands who remain
cd here to look after him said that he
must have been dragged 200 feet for the
ground between the tracks where he
was picked up was torn up for that
distance. 1t is thought that he got
on the train at The Dalles to 60 to
some point on the line and that he was
attempting to beat his way by riding
on the rear trucks, as it is impossible
to account for the marks in the cen
ter of the track in any other way.
Herthem was unable to make any
lucid statement as to how he came to
be on the train except that he thought
he go on at The Dalles.
He had no ticket or hat check, and
no money, ami for this reason it is
thought that he was trying to beat
his WaV.

Mnsco COnntr,s Good Showing.

The summaries of the assessment
rolls recently completed by Asses OIL
Stogsdill for 1905 show startling in
crease in the valuation of taxable
property in Wasco county. In 1904
the number of acres of tillable land
was lI6, l05; in 1905 it was 1872, l42,
Its valuation in 1904 was S7S6, $50,
which in 1905 had increased to 81, 365,
eco. This is certainly good show
ing. In addition Wasco is one of the
few counties in the state that Is out
of debt.

Prize Pear Trees.

Next year, even If he is busy, VIM.
Scheble, who owns the old d. b. Sol
iss farm, on Griffin creek, will think
twice before he sells the poduct of
the two big Beurre d'Anjou trees,
which stand in his door yard, for any
thing like $50, if they give pomise
of repeating the crops of the past two
years. Last year Mr.. Scheble picked
thirty-two boxes Of pears from one tree
the largest one-and didn't count
what came from the other tree. This
year both trees we're as heavily laden
as before, but at the time the pears
we're ready to be picked Mr.. Scheble
was busy with other farm work and
didn't have tim3 to pick them. One
day S. W. Boyd came long and offered
$50 for the pears on the trees. Take
them, said the owner. In spite of
the fact that one of the largest limbs
broke Oft running at least twelve hox-
es of pears, Mr.. Boyd gathered 43
boxes from the two trees and when
sold he realized net profit over all
of $82.74. That limb which broke off
was one Of the largest on the princi-
pal tree and the twelve boxes of
bruised pears we're actually picked up
and fed to the hogs. Mr.. Scheble
says these two trees have never failed
to produce big crop aud that they
hven't been sprayed or pruned for
four years. There are pears yet on
those trees, as it was impossible to
reach all of them. = Medford Mail.

the items were reduced to So, 900

When the item of 100000 for the
extension of the wharf system at Ho-
nolulu was reached, Kalama moved
that it be cut to 100000. Achi pro-
tested strongly, saying that the wharf
system was a money producer. If 1T
could not be perfected, the bonds
could not be paid.
Kalama withdrew his motion, and
the wharf item passed. He came again,
however, with a motion to cut the item
of $4,000 for educational buildings on
Oahu to $4,000. This also caused a lot
of discussion, and finally MeCandless
moved that the Oahu appropriation be
cut to $25, 900, that amount to be used
in building a brick and stone school
house at Kalihi. Achi moved that
$2S,0 900 be appropriated for all school
houses on Oahu.
A motion to refer the whole school
matter to the Public Schools Commit
tee, failed, and then the Achi motion
to appropriate $4,000 for all Oahu
schools carried.
Hilo was given $4,000 for a high
school as special item, and then after
a warm fight Hawaii was given $22,-
600 for school houses in addition to
this. This was the amount recommend
ed by the Loan Committee for all the
schools of the big island.
The committee allotted 5000 for
school buildings on Kauai, anl Candall
moved to raise this appropriation to
$2S,350. This raised a small sized
storm, Achi protesting against sny in
crease in the loan appropriations, and
Dowsett saying that he stood with him
and would move to reconsider the ap
preparations for school purposes. Gan
dali spoke strongly for toA increase,
and the item carried as he wanted 1t.
Dickey moved a reconsideration of
the Maui school appropriate III. This
was done. and the Maui appropriation
was put at $4,000.
The Oahu appropriation was recon
sidered, on Achi's motion, and Nc
Candless moved that the Oahu appro-
priation pass at $4,000, as recommend

Oahu was given $50 600.

Sir: Your special committee OF Sen
ate Bill Ioan BilD begs leave to re-
port as follows:
The committee has found that the
amount provided for in this bill, ST.
100000, is not sufficient for all needs
and have therefore based their report
on a total appropriation under Loan
Act of $1,200,000.
Your committee have also decided
that all appropriations for water
works, the revenue therefrom becom-
ing a Territorial realization, should
come under the head of General APP
preparations for all islands.
The committee accordingly beg leave
to make the following recommends
tions with special reference to the bill
in the hands of the committee.

dollars and fgures'' and insert in
place thereof the words Gone Million
