sons place. He failed to find the
hores, but at different points along
the zig gag climb, as he paused to
rest, looking westward, there was
spread out before the vision most
enchanting picture. Almost beneath
our feet and spreading westward was
bit of Landscape 90 bewitcbing that
it would be a travesty upon nature for
an ordinary writer like the Odell cor
respondent to attempt detailed de-
scription of it. The indescribably
beautiful, peaceful and apparently
sleeping valley, dotted here and there
with green fields ard gray orchards
shaded with hundreds of green leafy
apple trees, then stretches OF ever
green, through which the silver
threaded streams wound their way
from the stately white robed sentinel,
Mount Hood, emptying their life
giving waters into the grand Colum-
bia, then outward and westward toward
the sea. The hundreds of modern,
prosperous homes rounding up the
picture caused feeling of wonder and
admiration through and through us,
akin to reverence. Winding our way
homeward without the horse, we felt
amply paid for the trip. Moral: Let
us get up on the hills occasionally,
away from the fogs and mists of the
valley to point where we can see both
sides of life.
The valley in the Pine Grove neigh
borhood is in prime condition, being
cultivated almost to state of perfec-
tiop. The full leafed, vigorous young
apple orchards, Of which there are
many, are refreshing pictures, and
while the revenue feature is the
prompting feature along this line, yet
they are ornamental as well as possess
ing a promising revenue producing
feature.

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
NEAR GOLDENDALE

Special to the Glacier
Goldendale, Wash. June g. Eugene
Winterstein of North Yakima, met
with painful and what may prove a
serious accident. while on visit to
his father near Blockhouse last Sun
day morning. While mounting a
bicycle, the revolver which he was
carrying in his pocket fell to the
ground, discharging the weapon, the
bullet striking him in the lower pait
of the right lung, and ranging up
ward, lodged in his right shoulder.
Drs. Bonebrake and Collins removed
the bullet and he is now doing we'll.
1t seems very foolish for any one to
carry firearms in as peaceful a COM
munity as this, and while we regret
to hear Of anything Of the kind, it
may prove good lesson to other
young men who are in the habit of
carrying revolvers.
The young son of John Niemela of
Centerville suffered the loss Of his
foot, it being cut off at the ankle in

place on the Burn, near Arlingto.
While going down the Rock Creek
grade his wagon slipped off the grade
and overturnd, catching Mr. Fuhr-
man 8 foot in the front wheel. The
wagon rolled over several times and it
is a wonder he got out alive. At last
reports he was getting along very well.

ODELL
GATHER LUSCIOUS
BERRIES AT ODELL

BY Roswell Shelley.
Odell, East Hood River Valley,
June 6.-Strawberry pickers are in
evidence here AS never before. All
day last Saturday there was a string
of people passing Odell, many Of them
on their way to the Willow Flat straw
berry fields. There are approximately
$50 pickers on Willow Flat, more than
100 of whom are in the 40-acre tract
of II. f. Davidson. And why this
large pay roll there? Because foI
three years past money has been liber-
ally spent in that section and it Ii
just now beginning to tell. A good
payroll is what makes country and
the employees are not the only ones
that are making money.
The following parties about Odell
are getting a fine quality of berries,

Where the Apples Come From.
Portland Telegram.

There Is probably no single com
munity in Oregon that has contribut-
cd in greater measure to the enviable
reputation of the state than Hood
River. Wherever the Oregon apple
has found its way and made its name,
Hood River has become asynonym
for Oregon. Ii has carried the fame
Of the commonwealth across the seas
to theHolder capitals of Europe, 1t has
invaded the snow fields of Alaska and
the awakening land Of the Orient,
while In the Eastern cities of this
country, and especially those of the
Mississippi valley, when you speak of
Hood River, in commercial circles,
you are understood in the superlative
sense, to be talking of the place where
the apples come from.
BY the excellence of the location
and shrewd appreciation of all the ad-
vantages at hand, Hood River people
have established for their community
unique position in the industrial life
of the Pacific Northwest. They have
created the impression-and justly
too-that in Hood River there is more
to show for the expenditure of energy
in horticulture than can be realized
elsewhere in this section of the coun,
try. They have followed no false
gods in building the reputation of the
country. They have simply accepted
the munitcence of nature as gift to
be improved upon by intelligent la
Dor, and as a reward have attained to
the highest results In the character
OF their produce as 1t Is recognized
both at home aud abroad.
Residents of the Hood River valley
are thoroughly convinced that no
more fertile section can be found in
the country; that the sun shines in
his daily course on no strip of coun-
try that in past accomplishment bears
he promise of greater possibilities
for a community of home builders in
the fullest mearning of the term.
They realize that so far as the aggre-
agte results are concerned, but a fair
beginning has been made, even though
a reputation thatmay well be the envy
of any section has been established.
The facts that but seventeeth part
OF the cultivatable land of the valley
Is in actual use and that but ten per
cent Of this cultivated area is in
fruit, indicates when one contem-
plates the value of the valleys com
mercial exports the splendid fortune
that is in prospect for those who re
side there. From every viewpoint
in which one may indulge, Hood Riv.
or is destined to grow in reputation
and commensurately to add to the
fame of Oregon.

ImpOsitlOns on the Press
Forest Grove News


The press is the most abused institu.
tion in existence today by actual count,
Why? Just because it is the most lib.
eral Anything that comes along, pub
lie entertainment or even Worlds Fair;
or perhaps some railroad company is
going to do some wonderful thing about
their trains, or some monthly magazine
il going TO print Il new story, that II
wants the people TO know about and the
press is the medium looked to give not
ice, and some Of them are not bit
backward about asking for space, which
as a rule they always get. But wait a
minute When the press wants any
thing this is how it gets it, Excluding
the churches, which goodness knows,
are entitled to all the assistance the
press can give, and we believe The News
has been as liberal as any. We find
that urgent business call us to some
other city, but before we are able to get
transportation, which we have already
paid for in contract advertising, we
must make application to the local agent

APRIL FROSTS DO
NO DAMAGE HERE

The month of April, like the city Of
Hood River, was on the dry order,
there being only Al of an inch precip-
itation during the month. The past
two days has given us more moistur'
than was afforded during the entire
month. The heaviest rainfall occurred
on the first day of April when Y. OF
an inch fell. There we're II clear days,
l3 partly cloudy and 5 cloudy days in
the month.
The temperature was slightly above
normal the mean being a fraction
above so, with maximum Of 8S on
the oath and minimum Of 30 on the
10th. There we're two heavy frosts
one on the 10th another on the llth
and also light frost on the 9th. One
of the most peculiar things IN con-
nection with the frosts of Hood River,
is that heavy frost, such as would
kill everything green that it touched
in the Eastern and Middle states, has
little or no Injurious effect upon the
vegetation here. SO that, while to
newcomers the frosts Of the 10th and
1lth might have been such as to fright
ne them into spasms they didn't dis
turb the old timer who was aware OF
the conditions existing. This immu'
nifty from damage by frosts it il
claimed is due to the close prioXim
ity Of the Columbia and to the excess
i've amount of moisture in the atmos
phere. A few early cherries anC
peaches we're killed by these frosts
but further than this no damage wa
done.
Altogether April was very fayora
bic month to the husbandman. Th
dry cool days enabled him to hustl
in his crops and at the same tim,
the climate was such as to make tn
crops do well. The month left a.
crops in fine, thrifty condition
The finest prospect for fruits Of a
kinds that Hood River has had fo
years. Hay aud grain is farther ad
vanced than usual, larger acreag
and good prospects for heavy yield
Stock Of all kinds looking sleek, thril
ty and in good condition. In fact
