little city very highly. The sher-

mist struck us the potato digger
was singing his tuneful lay while |
he turned ont the tubers at the rate |
OF $50 to 800 sacks per acre In St. |

per sack ii begins to look a little
like the old strawberry crop OF
Hood River, TO the bank account.
Mrs. Stansberry of Hood River
and Mrs. Kinney Of Grand avenue.
Portland. were callers at this Office
last week looking for our castle on
the Willamette. where they wished
to honor our little chaperone with
a call; but our auto-gasoline-buggy
was in the stable and as the car
line does not pass our domicile and
the distance was too great to walk.
the good ladies were obliged to
send their regrets.
The Oregon mist Is getting to be
an almost daily visitor here now
and we do not hear any one ''hol-
lering" for the council to oil the
streets. We have been told they
are going to spoil Mansheld's duck
pond on Tacoma street, though,
and incidentally deprive the small
boys of their temporary 'regatta"
grounds. Sorry for Mansfield and
the boys, but the mills Of the gods
must grind even il they are little
slow.

dence. The letter stated they were
enjoying themselves and that they
hoped the Wall street gambling
was doing no injury to their home
city and wished to be remembered |
to their many friends here. /
