River seems to be filled up with thi
class of people. So far as We coul,
see in one short days stay, the on
thing that they ought to be ashame,
of is the saloon. Many of them, il
fact very nearly a majority of them
are ashamed OF it as vote in the pas
has shown.
But we must not forget the one bo,
of fruit which to many was a great
curiosity, though not so to the writ
or. 1t was half bushel of paw paw,
all the way from Indiana. They haC
the smell o the real thing and had th.
watchman kindly turned his back,
something might have happened.
Then there was Byerlee, newspaper
man of Hood River, and he was
tempted also, and might have fallen
had conditions been favorable. lie
came from "back east" the home OF
the paw-paw, and it was touching tC
see him linering around that box
when taps we've sounded at the clos
in hour on the last night aud he
must go. Our sympathies we're with
him. 10 one who came up by the
paw-paw route, the smell of the iru |
brings sweet memoi les of boyhood
days that make the words of the song,
"Mollie come drive the COWS home, -
seem very real, and we could almost
hear the rustic of the autumn leaves
under our feet.
Hon. Il. l.. Smith was in evidence
everywhere, and what would Hood
River be without him? Then there
were Editors Moe and Bradley who
we're on hand ready to give the glad
hand to visiting newspaper men,
among whom we're Albert Tozier, sec
retary of the State Press association
and Timothy Brownhill of the Beaver
State Herald. Tozier keeps constant
ly on hand we'll selected stock of
newspaper yarns and Timothy, well
he is not exactly an Irish comedian
but he is a past master at telling stor-
les and he was at his best that night.
1t will pay you to visit his den ii you
eyre go to Gresham and If he don't
get your name down on his subscrip-
tion list we shall miss our guess.
The traveller passing Hood River by
rail has no idea OF valley in that
mountainous district, situated as it
is between the snow capped peaks OF
Hood and Adams, but when one gets
out on the hill above town and looks
away toward Hood on the south he
imaines the valley was made to order.
BY the courtesy of Jud Ferguson, a
real estate man we took a nine mile
drive out thr 1ugh the valley, where
much OF the way we found splendid
roads and saw many fine orchards
oaded down with apples.
In the evening we we're invited out
to the Potter farm, two aud a hall
miles to the south west and by the
kindness of Mrs. Potter we're loaded
down with couple of baskets OF
great led apples to carry away as SOU
Venirs of our visit.
1t matters not how good the locality
is in which you live, it pays to get
out from home occasionally and visit
other sections of the country. 1t en-
larges your vision and gives you a
chance to learn many | ssons of val
Ge. Oregon has such variety OF
soil, climate and varied landscape, go
in any direction you may, that 1t will
keep you busy to see all the points of
interest, but you don't want to leave
Hood River out of the list. When
you go there you will do we'll to leave
your money and your credit al home
unless you want to invest. They will
show you the goods and they will not
hesitate to tell you there Is no other
spto on earth like it. They tell 1t just
as though they believed 1t and in an
moment you are liable to be
to invest In some OF theiI
dirt. 1t seems to be In the atmos-
phere. -Newburg Graphic.
