DUKES VALLEY.

This is surely beautiful weather.
We are now getting repaid for the cold
and disagreeable weather we endured
few weeks ago 1t doesn't seem
possible that little over two weeks
ago the therometer stood at zero and
below, but then Oregon doesn't do

In Klickiat county, Washington, just
across the Columbia from the Hood
River valley, but in an altitude 1000
feet higher than that famous apple dis
trict, Washington farmers have dis
covered that ed checked Pippins, Ben
Davis and other varieties can be grown
equal to the Oregon product, and with
the additional advantage that spraying
is unnecessary, says the Portland Jour
nal.
}. NJ. Botsiord of Klickitat county is
in Portland with SO boxes of apples for
exhibition at the Lewis and Clark fair.
He has refused 81 box for them from
local dealers The apples are large and
highly colored and without sign of worm
or pest of any kind. Mr.. Botsiord as
serts that the trees were not sprayed.
He says that the hills are preferable for
fruit-raising wherever the requisite soil
is found. Land is offered homeseekers
at Sl2 to $50 an acre with Improvements,
including small orchards in some cases.
The only means of transportation Kick
itat county farmers now have is the
railroad to Lyle connecting with boats
running to Portland, This line he says,
is giving good service and doing much
for the county.

w. N. Bone was out to his ranch
looking after the work and getting

The Davidson Fruit Go. finished
packing apples on the Booth ranch
Thursday.
IL is a self evident truth that cor
ners at Odell are the most important
in the valley During every hour In
the day teams may be seen driving up
TO one or the other of the two stores
at this place. The chief reason for
this rush of trade is the immense
amount of territory tributary to
Odell. Their customers come from
Tucker on the north to Cloud Cap
Inn on Mount Hood on the south and
from Mosier on the East to the Hood
river on the west. Only a few days
ago we saw men from upper Mount
Hood loading feed from the ware
house of the Little White Store.
Along this same line Odell would
necessarily be the distributing point
for practically the entire East Side,
If the railroad should pass through
there. Then, when the next biennial
legislature shall meet and Cascade
county becomes q reality, Odell would
be the logical location for the county
seat.
0. B. Hartley was seen driving in
this community few days ago in
company with some land buyers
G. r. Bone and G. L. Rogers have
been making canvass in this com
munity in the interest of the new
railroad.
The RSalamagundi literary society
closed a very creditable season Satur-
day night. There have been occurr-
ences that are to be regretted, yet
withall, we believe the society has been
of much benefit to the community,
intellectually and socially. In work
of this kind, to get the best results
and the most good from 1t, every one
should take an active part, among
whom no contention should ever ex-
ist, but that noble contention OF
rather emulation Of who best can
work and best agree.
If the present activity in the horse
market continues, our friends of Odell
will surely be obliged to put up a
suitable stock exchange building, in
which to conduct their rapidly growing
business.
With continyetinu .oe tl~ gfvTont
good weather the roads will soon
be good all over the valley. But
we must not forget that upon each road
some rain must fall, and some places
necessarily be muddy. Why not apply
some of the road taxes on the purchase
of a rock crusher? The valley surely
has plenty of raw material, which il
crushed and spread on the roads
would in few years give Hood Rive
the best roads of any community il
the state. Such work would last
But at present the work done in tn,
spring is practically worn out befor
the rains set in, hence we are doomed
to have these impossible roads, sucl
as we have experienced the pas
month.

turned at once. Prospeetors are
rushing to the new find and the farm

keep man on the farms, for they all
want to try .heir hand at mining.
The district is near the Eureka Lam

Beowawe Is greatly excited. The find
j. one OF the most sensational ever un.
covered in Nevada. II people keep on
rushing to the district As they are
now doing there will be 1000 in there
in less than month.
Mr.. Montgomery and A.Kat-

BOGUS
PAY CHECKS
There are Many Dead Ones
on S. p. Time Checks to
be Looked up.

Manypeople thought it stiange when
the pay wagon returned from Sparks
to San Francisco without paying all
hands says the Sparks Dispatch.
The report is confirmed that many
dummy names have been put on the
Southern Pacific payrolls since the pay
Car system was abolished.
Many grades of officers have charge
of men and turn in time checks and
some must be awaiting Developments
with fear and trembling.
The losses are reported as being in
the thousands of dollars. The system
is far more costly than the pay car
and there likely will be change back
to the pay car.

Sweeps Truckee
Mountain Town Again Scene
of Disastrous Fire
Small Insurance.

Tiuckea has again been visited by p
disastrous confagration and $4,000
worth of property went up in smoke
at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.
Truckee is singularly unfortunate in
fires, for the town has been burned to
the ground many times. 1t seems
that when the fire gets good start in
Truckee there is no stopping it until
everything in its wake is barned to
the ground. In the Saturday night
fire Davies lum Der mill, the Truckee
Electric Light Company's plant and
Schafler's lumber yard were entirely
DESTROYED. The Insurance will amount
to about $4,000.
Two of the employees OF the lumber
mill were seriously burned, but will
recover. They were surrounded by
flames, their clothing caught fire and
TO save themselves they jumbed into
the Truckee river.

TREE WORM IN BROOKLYN.
District Near Prospect Park Infested
zcith Caternllm-s.

The caterpillar plague has attacked the trees
of Brooklyn. They have not as yet reached
the parks in disastrous numbers, but along
many of the pleasantest streets of the borough
the effects of the worm all too plainly Wis
ible. In some of the smaller parks scattered
about the borough many Of the trees are
utterly stripped Of foliage. and others are bare
up to the third and fourth tier of limbs. The
streets are a tangle of webs in many districts,
the uncanny little swinging back and
forth like trapeze performers.
The district most affected. apparently is that
Just northeast of Prospect Park near Kensing-
ton Park. Residents in this section, many Of
them. have taken measures to resist the attacks
of the worms, and have grdled their trees with
ny paper, tarred cotton and other things.
Wherever these measures have been taken the
tree trunks just beneath the barrier are COW
cred with yellow cocoons
curious feature of the situation in Brook
lyn is that the worms TO have acquired a
particular taste for horse chestnut leaves. In
many sections there three trees of other
varieties TO one Of he horse chestnut. But the
latter will nearly always be stripped OF every
shred Of green and covered with the raw
enous yellow caterpillars, while the other trees
Will remain untouched: and, too, whers there
are no horse chestnut trees nearly every other
variety is the object of attack.
