GET VALUABLE HOOD
RIVER LAND FOR SONG

c. Fl. Stranahan, James Mears and
Chas. Dano we're granted deeds to
valuable property at Hood River last
week which they acquired something
more than year ago by paying the
amount Of the delinquent sewer as
sessment against it. One of the par.
GELS Of land secured by Stianaban Is
the north half of block 4, just west OF
the old armory building, which he got
for about $50. In it there are num-
ber of building lots valued at from
S400 to $500 apiece. The total value
of this piece of property is estimated
at SO, 500 to $4,000. Mr.. Stianahan
also secured block located on the
hill, which is estimated to be worth in
the neighborhood of $4,000 for about
$50. This property was in the name
of Susan Frisbee and efforts to locate
her or her heirs have proved fruitless
The property secured by Mr.. Mears
is the south half of block 4, fronting
ON Cascade avenue aud is considered
still more valuable than that of MIR.
Stranahan's. Altogether 1t has cost
Mr.. MeaIs about 5000 and contains
seven fine building lots. The proper
ty secured by Mr.. Dano is also located
in this section and is fully ss valuable
as that secured by the others. This
property was formerly owned Ly the
Hood River Development Co., which
failed to redeem it after II Was sold
by the marshall for delinquent assess
ments held by the city against 1t.

Mrs. Lena Lage, aged So years, wife
ot Hans Lage, one OF Hood River g
oldest and most respected residents,
died at her residence in the valley
Monday after an Illness that had con-
fined her to bed for year.
Mis-. Lage was born In Holstein,
Germany. February 20, 1862, and
came to America with her parents In
1854. Her first place of residence was
Davenport Iowa, where she was mar
ried to Mr.. Lage in 1870 In 1875
Mr.. and Mrs. Lage came to Oregon,
journeying by way of San Francisco
and arriving In Portland by steamer,
and later continuing their way up the
Colubmia river to what is now Bin
gen, but was then known as White
Salmon. After spending the fall and
winter at White Salmon Mrs. Lage
accompanied her husband across the
Columbia, where he had taken up a
homestead and where she resided aud
helped develop what 10 now one Of the
most valuable pieces Of property In
Hood river valley. With the excep
tion OF one family Mr.. and Mrs. Lage
we're the first settlers in the valley
four and one half miles south of the
Columbia river.
Mrs. Lage was the mother ot ten
children, seven of whom survive her
and are Mrs W. p. Soobee, Mrs. j..
W. Koberg, Henry H., Edward h. -,
Ben Ii. and Chas. f., OF Hood River,
and Mrs. Laura Henderson, OF

by her many friends.

New York Apple Market

There is good demand for large,
red apples, but there ia hardly suff1
cient quantity of this fruit around to
meet trade requii ements. Receipts
are running heavy and the stock is
coming in all sorts of packages. Much
OF II is poor and has to be worked out
to the bakers and the cheaper trade,
says the Produce News. Three or
four cars from Germantown we're re-
ceived this week. The apples we're
small and did lot do very we'll The
bulk OF the Hudson river fruit ia COM
ing by steamer. Present prices are
very good considering the quality OF
the fruit and the growers are making
good money. Ii is feared, however,
that when 1t comes to buying fall and
water varieties Ebuyers will be tired
OF paying such high prices and will
be anxious to get fruit at a better tg-
ure. The Hudson shippers are not
living mp to the letter of the law and
hut few of he small barrels coming
are marked short barrels. 1t was
thought that the state law WAS rigidiy
enforced, but many Of the shippers
when they found that the authorities
we're not very strict refused to mark
their barrels. Some consulted receiv.
ers here and when it was learned that
nothing was done to prohibit the use
of short barrels, very little was done
to see thpt they were properly mark
ed. The Porter bill now before con
gress would mean much mere than
the state law and II that bill is enact
ed all short barrels will have to be
branded.
The Hudson river crop is not show
ing up as large as 1t was at first ex-
pected. Reports received early In the
season indicated that there would be
tremendous yield, but the harvest
does not bear out this report. Any
good red fruit readily sells at from
81. 30 to $3.50. Fancy Alex andrias
IL they could be obtained would read
lily command 81. Green fruit sells at
81 to 50. .#.
There is practically no demand for
old apples. A few receivers who have
any are doing their best to work
them out. The bakels who use this
stock for pies are about the only out,
let there Is and most OF these prefer
fresh stock. Old apples are showing
scald and for eating purposes cannot
be used at all. There will be quite a
sprinkling for export this week. Last
week the total shipments reached
about 80 barrels, but this week 1t will
be considerably heavier. The demand
is mostly from Scotland. The English
markets are supplied with home fruit
and 1t is not until later In the season
when this is out of the way that there
will be strong call for American ap-
pies. England is not able to produce
good winter fruit.
A few Kings came In this week.
They were small and lacked color, but
they sold S3 so. This is very early
for this variety, as generally the first
arrivals are on the markets by the
first of September.

To Irrigate Grand ROnAe Valley

That from 35, 600 to 10000 acres of
the Iich lands of Grand Runde valley
will be placed under irrigation by a
system OF reservoirs at the head of
the Grand Ronde river is now almost
assured, says the East Oregonian.
David Eccles, one of the vice presi
dents of the Oregon Short Line, pres
ident OF the Oregon Lumber com
pany, eX-mayor OF Ogden and one uf
the leading officials of the Mormon
church, has proposed to back the
scheme which it is said will require
a capital of $500, 200.
Mr.. &c les plan ia to bond 20, 00O
acres OF laud at 800 per acre for the
initial expense of the project. This
sum Ia to be payable in ten annual
installments of 81 per acre and each
shareholder would receive an equal
portion OF the profits accruing fl ON
the enterprise.
By erecting a massive concrete dam
near the head of Grand Ronde river
and with about 55 miles of main
canals it is asid that the entire Grand
Ronde valley can be irrigated and cit
izens of La Grande are now enthusi.
astically engaged in furthering the
plan.

tween the early and late peaches, yet
from 10 to 20 cars will be shipped out
OF here this week, and the shipments
during the season thus far bear the
shipments of like dates last year
Several outside commission men have
temporary quarters located here and
are keeping several men busy loading
cars. The warehouses of the city are
busy night and day taking care of the
fruit which is brought in by the grow
ers in the valley. The SAFE is true ct

JUDGE A. B. PARKER
VISITS HOOD RIVER

Judge Alton b. Parker, of New
York, at one time Democratic candi-
date for the presidency Of the United
States, who is on the coast In the in
terests of the candidacy of VIM. j.
Bryan, made a short visit to Hood
River Wednesday. Judge Parker was
accompanied by Delaney N'chol, for
several years New York City's prose
cutting attorney and man high up In
the councils of Iammsny Hall and
the Democratic party in the en-
pire state. W. A. McCarty, who is
said to be a power among the negro
Democrats of the country, was also OF
the party, which was escorted by
Judge O'Day and Alex Sweek, OF Port
land. 1t was the intention of the Wis
itors to take ride oyer the valley,
but owing to the tact that the boat
arrived later than they expected, this
part of the program had to he cut
out. Accompanied by A. A, Janye,
president OF the Commercial Club,
and Leslie Butler a short ride was ta-
ken by Judge Parker out to the west
side and through the city In Clarence
Gilbert's big auto.
The rest of the party was entertain
ed In town by Sheriff l.. f. Morse and
other prominent Democrats here.
They we're given literature about
Hood River at the exhibit booth and
also fruit. Judge Parker and Mr..
Nichol expressed themselves as very
much pleased with their treatment
and regretted the fact that Mr.. Park
or, who was TO speak in Portland
Wednesday evening, forced them to
hurry away. Judge Parker and Mr..
Nichol also stated that they bad never
met finer class OF citizens than they
had found on the coast and that they
we're very much impressed with the
great future that is in store for the
northwest.

ARTHUR ID. MOE, Publisher.
MIR. HARTMAN AND OREGON.

It is reasonably sui Imlsed-though
1t can be only surmise-says the
Oregon journal, that the invitation
of Mr. Hartman to the governor,
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Stanley indi.
oates an intentil IN on his part TO be.
gin building a railroad through cen
tial Oregon--or at least that he has
the project in contemplation.
IL is known that MIR. Hartman
tiled to secure certain rights OF way
into Crook county from the north
that had been acquired by Others,
and came near succeeding; and 1t ID
with reference to the situation In
that region, probably, that he desires
to talk with Mr.. Stanley. lt is to he
hoped that the great railroad magDate
will not be able to secure all the
routes from the north, as he has from
the south and east, into central Ore
eon, unless upon positive certainty
that he will Immediately build road,
or roads-though Of course enough
money will buy any such property or
rights.
That MIR. O'Brien should be sent
for Is not significant, for Mr.. O'Brien
is Harriman's executive ann In Ore
gon, and would need 10 be seen In
any event; but that the governor,
with his well-known views, should be
invited, may, as coDjeotui ed, be quite
significant. We may take 1t as at
least hopeful sign.
II Mr.. Hartman will turn loose"
and build needed roads within "his
territory" In Oregon, people will for
get and forgive the past. They will
not complain about rather high rates,
high enough to yield good big in
come upon the investment. IL MIR.
Hartman thinks at last that it would
be we'll to help develop Oregon aud
make friends instead OF enemies OF its
people, he Is nurturing wise notion,
and they will meet him half way.
But the people of Oregon know, and
keenly feel, and their governor will
tell Mr.. Hartman so, that 1t ia high
time for him to act. Oregon cannot,
must not and will not continue much
longer to lie repressed and half
shsckled for lack of railroads which it
has seemed Mr.. Hartman only can
build. But great as he is, Mr.. Harri-
man cannot keep Oregon under his
thumb much longer. Capital other
than his has discovered Oregon, and
he cannot keep IL out. There must
be extensions and even multiplied.
tions of railroads In Oregon, and
strong as he is Mr.. HarI imam cannot
much longer repress them. Hill is al
ready here and others are coming.
Mr.. Hartman is great, but there are
still big men besides him.
But perhaps he is going to move In
this matter. This invitation may
wei, be interpreted as a probability
OF such a movement. And II this
construction of the incident should
prove correct, all Oregon would re.
joice and extend the hand of friend
ship to Mr.. Hartman.
