GEORGE ". SIMONS 4
SUNK AT THE LOCKS

Friday morning in the rapids below
Cascade Locks the steamer George W.
Simons struck a rocK aud sank almost
instantly. Her crew Of SIX saved
themselves by means of a small boat
with which the steamer was provided.
The Simons left Portland Friday
night bound for The DalIles. She
made the journey safely until she
reached the rapids. While feeling her
way through the narrow channel the
vessel struck. IL was the same rock
that the Bailey Gatzert hit several
days ago, when she barely escaped
serious injury. The Simons sprang q
leak at once and began to sink quick
ly. In short time the vessel was al
most submerged.
The vessel sank close to the Oregon
shore. The steamer Maria, equipped
with wrecking outfit, was dispatched
to the scene for the purpose Of rails
ing the sunken steamer. The vessel
carried no cargo and no passengers
except her crew.
The Simons left Portland Thursday
night for The Dalles to resume her
run between that place and Cascade
Looks, stopping at Lyle. She came to
Portland some two weeks ago for re-
pairs and had been completely over
hauled.
She is the property of George w.
Simons of Portland and is valued at
$40, 900.

Good Outlook for Poultry Bu>ipes,

Good Outlook for Poultry Business.
The poultry industry of the Pacific
Northwest has been making gigantic
strides in the past few years That it
is not yet "up to the procession" is
evidenced by the many car loads of
poultry which are shipped In from the
Eastern states. The reason for these
large shipments is the great demand
that thsre is for poultry and poultry
products. AS an outlet for the pro-
duction of poultry, we have the large
cities of Portland, Seattle, Tacoma,
Spokane and the mining centers of
Eastern Oregon, Central Idaho, South
eastern Washington and British Col
umbia, and the large shipping inter-
ests which must be supplied, going to
the Alaksa country and the Orient.
This is demand that will not be de-
creased, for ss the years roll by, more
people are Icing employed In these
same localities and businesses, who
are non producers of poultry and
poultry supplies. These additional
demands must be supplied by the
farmers and the suburban poultrymen.
AS rule, the suburban poultrymen
are raising tie high grade poultry and
looking after the interests of the fancy
market. Yet thousands every year are
sending East for breeding stock and
eggs, owing largel to the lack of num-
bers of the quality desired. The pure
bred poultry of the West Is equal to
that of the East, as has been evil
denced by the competition Of Western
birds in the East. Statesman.

A Box Of Fine Apules.

j. j. Jordan, who lives at West
Crapper, had box Of assorted apples
on exhibition at the warehouse of the
Apple Growers Union last week that
attracted great deal OF attention.
They consisted of Snow apples,
Kings, Spitzenbergs, Bellflowers, JON
athans and Ben Davis. They we're
pronounced by number Of growers
who examined them as an extraordi-
nary fine collection The Snow, which
is an early apple, we're as hard and
firm almost as GU the day they we're
picked and w,re beautifully colored
and in fine condition. December LIST
is thought to lie al out the limit of time
for keeping King apples, yet the ones
exhibited by Mr. Jordan were as well
kept as the Spit2enbergs, which we're
in the best of condition. The color
ing of this variety is especially good.
The Bellhowers are of the cd fashion
ed yellow kind, large and firm, per-
feet in form and most pleasing to the
eye. The Ben Davis and Jonathans
we're also fine specimens.
The apples we're sent to Portland
and placed on exhibition there during
the meeting of the horticultural So
ciAtv.

HIGH SCHOOL MATTER
WILL BE DISCUSSED

Notice OF a meeting OF the school
directors Of the various schools in
the valley was recently published for
the purpose of discussing the project
of instituting high school for both
the city and the outlying districts in
the valley. The meeting was not held
owing to the fact that j. H. Acker-
man, State Superintendent Of In
struction, was not able to be present.
1t is now proposed to issue call for
another /, Getting which viii take place
on Saturday, January 27. Mr.. Acker-
man will at that time be present and
demontrate the advantages Of having
such a school located here. The
meeting will be held at 10 o'clock
and it is earnestly requested that the
school directors and others interest
ed In the plan attend.
The benefit to be derived from an
educational institution of this charac-
ter are many and far reaching and
will solve the difficulty of giving in
struction in the higher branches on
the most economical plan that can be
devised. One of the features of a
school OF this character would be the
opportunity given pupils living in
the country districts to receive higher
education while still living at home,
or at least while living near enough
to be under the home influence at an
age when little restraint or advice
is most beneficial. 1t is thought that
such a school would also attract many
pupils from the nearby towns, whose
tuition would help pay the expense Of
maintaining 1t.
Most of the present schools are In
an ercIowded condition aud some
provision will have to be made for
the constant increase In the number
of pupils received. This is true not
only Of the city schools, but Of the
district schools as well. With the
population increasing so rapidly it is
necessary to make some provision for
newcomers in the valley, and it is
hoped that by taking the matter In
hand now that proper provision can
be made for them.

Tax Levy For 1905.

Late Friday afternoon the county
court decided on a tax levy Of 20
mills for the county during the com
ing year, divided as follows: For
state, ~ mills; county school fund.
8 3 mills; library, lilo mill; roads, 3
mills; county 81.
Last year the levy was q mills,
made higher because of the extra, ,ex-
pense on account Of the fair. As the
county is now out Of debt and in good
financial condition it was hardly
thought the levy would be so large
this year.
The taxable property this ye is
valued at s6,06l, ,945, while last year
it was 81, 737, 40. f.5s
Among the amounts necessary to be
raised are

Paper Strawberry Boxes a Failure.


Now that the strawberry season is
again opening up, many shippers have
taken the trouble to make inquiries
of the Chicago Packer as to the advis-
ability of the use of the pasteboaId d
strawberry crate thia year. There is
some talk among manufacturers of at
tempting to again revive the sale of
this package.
The paper box first made it's appear
ance upon the market about twelve
years ago. At that time it was used
quite extensively by small growers
only. 1t seems that the box soon lost
favor and that none of the larger
growers took to the proposition. The
following are the principal reasons
why the pasteboard strawberry carrier
will never again come into popularity ::
First, the moisture from the fruit
softens the box, thereby allowing it
to crush easily. If the season should
he an exceptionally rainy one and the
berries contained great portion of
water, as they always do, under these
conditions the box would prove al
most worthless. Second, the paper
box has no stability. Third, the
weight of the fruit invariably mashes
the lower tiers of boxes 80 that the
bottom and sometimes the second
tiers are left in mess Of slop. When
fruit arrives in this condition, how
ever perfect it may have been when
it left the point of shipment, it is
difficult matter for the receiver to
convince the shipper that his fruit is
no other than No. l. Hence so many
disagreements arise between shipper
and receiver as to the condition of
fruit. The use of the wooden box
would practically eliminate these dis.
advantages. At the time the paper
box was used most exten ,ively there
was not much difference between the
cost of paper box and wooden one.
Paper then cost about 81. 25 and %. so
per thousand. Wooden boxes at that
time cost about s.

BY THE WAY
A Review of the Old Year.

Tonight farewell glance ! cast
Upon the year that now is past,
Before try the realm so vast
That lies beyond my view.
| fain would stop Times weary flight
For just moments pause tonight,
To get my bearings all Alright
The voyage to renew.
But dare | face the dying year,
Lest troops of misused hours appear
And stalk like specters pale and drear
Across the barren sand?
But on the sand some flowers we hnd,
Fen though the weeds are intertwined
And memory's streamlet, verdure lined
Flows through the fading year.
'Tis with a ling'ring pang Of pain
We view the heights we strove to gain,
When human strength was all in vain
To reach the cheri shed prize.
But aspirations born on high
Amidst the carnage do not die
And beckon still toward the sky,
Where their fruition lies.
And oft the blows of circumstance
Our dearest interest may advance
The unseen hand of Love, perchance,
Be underneath it all
And while the year has viewed afar
The writhing nations torn in war,
Thank God, we have not lost a star
Nor let "Old Glory" fall.
And through my window now | see
The clouds disperse, while full and free
The moon bursts out silver sea,
Where all was dark and gloom.
So let us trust that Gods own light
May scatter all our clouds of night,
Until the future sky grows bright
With Hopes eternal bloom.
William Steward Gordon.

When we assumed control of the Independent your name was on the books and how are we to know whether or not you are subscri Der nnsess you act as a fair minded person should, come and tell us? You surely don t think a newspaper can be print ed for nothing Then surely there is no one that will suffer an innocent party to lose these accounts when we bought them in good faith If you are getting the paper regular and never ordered it We think it is your duty to aome in and tell us, so the matter can be adjusted.
