BETTER FRUIT" HAS
MADE GREAT GROWTH

"Better Fruit" has just closed a
very prosperous year and opened one
which promises a continuation of
prosperity tor the magazine which
goes forth every mouth from Hood
River as the exponent of better
methods in fruit growing. The cir
eulstion of the magazine has been
gradually growing. The January
issue. which 10 just coming from the
press and ia special number devoted
practically to the National Apple
Show at Spokane, will be of l2,OO0
copies, the largest issued. This Gum'
beI contains S4 pages making total
OF over a million pages for the editioD
which lie as many pages as would have
eeen issued in year at the rate
"Better Fruit" started less than
five years ago with "a page issue of
400 copies.
According to figures furnished by
Editor K. Ii. Shepard, the postage
bills of "Better FrIit" last year iD-
Guiding stamps and mailing the paper
amounted to almost 81, TOO or a little
less than one tenth of she total re-
ceipts OF the Hood River post office.
rne average circulation for 1909 was
1888 copies month. For the
January issue four and one half tons
of papers have been used, worth
nearly $500.
The name of Hood River 10 being
carried all over the world by "Better
Fruit" and the fact of the connection
OF the town and the magazine is q
mutual recommendation. The Christ
mas day mail brought four subscrip-
tious from widely seperated places,
namely: Venice, italy. the Panama
Canal Zone; Canada and lanRn,
China. A few days later the same
mail brought requests tor sample
copies from Russia and Finland.

Thorough Morford, testified before the
grand jury. Mrs. Morford testified
that shortly after the Browne jury had
been sworn, she went to Maloy's
grocery within the neighborhoOd in
which the Morfords live. Maloy, she
said, gave her two cigars. which he
asked her to give to her husband, who
had been accepted on the jury. Maloy
asked her to use her influence to per-
suade her husband to vote for the &C.

FALLS FAR WITH AEROPLANE
Baroness De la Roche Loses Head at
Approach of Other Aeronauts--
Is Fatally Hurt.

Bethany Plain, Rheims.-Baroness
De la Roche. the first French woman
aeroplanist, was injured probably
fatally here Friday by falling from a
height of more than $50 feet.
Baroness De la Roche had flown
around the field once at a height OF
80 meters (250 feet), when suddenly
in front of the applauding tribunes
she appeared to become frightened
and confused at the approach of two
other aeroplanes She began to de.
scend, but while still so meters from
the ground lost control of the ma
chine. The aeropiane turned over and
fell like log.
The baroness legs and arms were
broken. Her mangled body was re-
moved from the wreckage and taken
to the hospital, where she is said to
be dying 1t was found that her skull
was fractured.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness said that the rush of air
from a motor passing over her head
had frightened her, whereupon she cut
the ignition and lost control of her
machine.

TAFT TO TAKE YACHT CRUISE
President Will Extend Vacation Ten
Days and Make Trip Along
Maine Coast.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft de-
cided Thursday that at the end OF his
ten days vacation he will take ten
days cruise in the naval yacht May
flower for the purpose of resting up.
The cruise will start on July Ii, on
which date, DOMINIC the uniform OF
commander-in-chief of the navy, which,
by the way, is the same as that OF
commander-in-chief of the army and
president, Mr.. Taft, accompanied by
his family, will board the Mayfiower
and weigh anchor for Bar Harbor and
other summer ports of call on the
Maine coast.
Bar Harbor will be the base from
which short trips will be made to
nearby points. The party will sleep
on board the yacht at night, but will
probably go ashore at various places
where the golfing looks good.
A convoy will probably follow the
Mayf1ower, as it is regarded as too
great a risk to have the president go
to sea without assistance being IN
easy reach in case of accident.

RAIL LINES ARE PROSPEROUS
Roads Are Placing Enormous Orders
for Observation-Disclosures Show
Big Increase.

New York.-Continued evidences Of
the great prosperity that Is surging
all over the country are given in the
enormous orders placed within the
last few days by the large railroads
of the country for additional equip.
ment
No such tremendous sums of money
have ever been spent by the railroads,
it is said, except in the initial con-
struction of road, or in a large ex-
tension. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road company alone has appropriated
100000 for new equipment.
Not merely in money spent for i'm
proyements of facilities, but in the
declaring of dividends by the rail-
roads lies the proof that the good
times which returned year or more
ago have in no way diminished.
Since January 1 eighty-six railroads
and industrial corporations in this
country have increased their disburse-
ments or declared initial or resumed
dividends to the extent of $57, 625, 900
a year. Twenty-three of these cor
porations are railroads, their increase
alone representing $15,0O0,000. Up to
June 1 of this year the aggregate
dividend payments from the eighty
six corporations in question have
amounted to about 1928, 100000, which
is an increase of about $46,230,000
over the first five months of last year.
No better proof could be given, it is
declared, that the country will enjoy
throughout 1910 almost unexampled
prosperity.

TRAIN ROBBERS ARE FOOLED
THREE YOUTHS HOLD UP THE
KATY" FLYER.
Crew Slips From Under Muzzles of
RevoIvers, Regains Cab and
Dash Away.

st. Louis. = Cleverness on the
part of the engineer prevented
three youthful and apparently mex
perienced bandits from robbing the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Southwest
ern flyer, No. 8, near Larimore, about
fifteen miles from ST. Louis.
Three young men were arrested as
suspects and are in Jail pending inves-
tigation. The police do not believe
they are the men wanted and are
searching for three others.
The bandits compelled the engineer
and fireman. at the points of revolvers,
to descend from the cab and go with
them to the baggage car to assist
them in uncoupling it.
While tinkering about the coupling
the engineer and fireman in the dark
ness managed to glide away from the
bandits. The two started on a run
for the cab. The bandits soon became
aware that the crew was dashing for
the cab and opened fire.
The engineer and fireman sprang
into the cab, the engineer threw the
throttle wide open and daSned away
with the train.
Several shots were fired during the
attempted hold-up, and the passen'
gers, who filled five coaches, were
thrown into a panic. Conductor Walk
er, who also displayed great GOODNESS
in the crisis, devoted his time to calm
ing the passengers.
The train was in the hands of the
bandits 40 minutes. For half an hour
they tried of their own accord to I'm
couple the baggage car. 1t was not
until they found themselves unable
to do the work that they got the en-.
gineer and fireman.
According to the railroad officials
here there were thousands of dollars
in the baggage car in addition to the
mail.

benefit to the flax crop and to late

Although the heads are formed, rain
will help the filling process consider
ably. Ground everywhere was bone
dry when the mornings rain came
and every drop of it soaked in.
One of the most important results
of the rain will be the benefit to pas

have been worrying over the feeding
of stock and in many sections farmers
have simply turned cattle and horses
out in the grain fields.
Vegetables, too, will profit wonder

The moisture will not revolutionize
crop conditions in North Dakota, but
it will be extremely helpful to late
wheat, to flax, corn, potatoes, hay and
other forage crops.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

At various points throughout the
country there are vivid recollections
of the deaths due to the mysterious
outbreak of infantile paralysis. Not
only children, but elderly persons were
among its victims. At New York those
who died from the malady included
prominent business man anu a priest
who had visited young members of his
flock afflicted with infantile paralysis
and caught the illness from them.
There were numerous cases in st.
Paul and Minneapolis. Specialists in
the Rockefeller laboratories at New
York have been working On infantile
paralysis for a year, using monkeys
In experiments which have demonstra-
ted that it is not due to an abnormal
condition of the blood, but is an in
lfectious disease of the spinal cord.
Despite acreful microscopic search
for a distinctive microbe, SO far none
has been found. Experiments are now
directed to the discovery of an anti
toxin for infantile paralysis such as
that which has been used with marked
success in the treatment of diphtheria.
The knowledge that has been gained OF
the nature of the disease is expected
to facilitate the discovery of its cure.

1t transpires that the recent report
from Germany that certificate Of in
spection on importations of pork from
America would be deemed adequate
was erroneous. The German govern
ment has not removed its interdict in
this regard. Knowing that the special
inspection for tr1china has been aban-
doned in this country, Germany will
no longer request special certificates
as to that disease, because 1t is rea-
lized that no such certificates can be
produced. This, of course, leaves mat
tiers unchanged. But at present there
is no worry as to expectations Of
American pork because a short supply
of hogs and an avid market for pork
have caused prices to mount
to heights at which expectation is un-
profitable.

in the fact that his faction had prom

not be removed, except on notification
