county schools made a good growth
last year over the year before There
was an increase in the enrolment of
90 while the school census increased
but "a showing that a larger portion of
the people of school age were attend
ing the public school. This is good
indication of prosperity when it is not
necessary for the children to give up
school in order TO work and help to
earn living There are 55 teachers
employed in the county being one more
than the year before and the average
wages paid the pedagogues showed a
good increase. The average salary Of
the male teachers was $l0l a month an
increase of about $l2 while the aver
age salary Of the female teachers was
increased from $56 to SCI month.
The-per capita apportonmcnt of the
state school funds has been made to
the various counties, Hood Rivers
share being $3, 9S5 68 or II y for each

GRAVENSTEIN TREES
YIELD $47 APIECE

Apples of the Gravenstein variety
which are now being packed and
shipped by the Apple Growers Union
are giving the growers of the valley
some great returns this year. DR.. W.
r. Colley, on the east side, has re-
ported the biggest yield so far heard
of, having packed out 25l boxes from
eight l4-Year- old trees. This wonder
full showing is more than 81 boxes to
the tree of packed apples which are
selling this year to New York for 81. SO
box. Most of the growers of the
valley only have a few trees of Gray
ensteins, as DR., Colley, but in every
case they are reporting enormous
yields of good quality and with the
good price which the union is getting
this year, the Gravenstein will be very
profitable. DR.. Colley's crop from
eight trees it will be seen is bringing
him a return Of 1916. SO or an average
Of about $4706 per tree. An acre con-
tanning go Gravenstein trees would
bring in gross return Of between
$2, 500 and 1900.

Beginning today, September |, the
Oregon-Wahington Limited running as
complete Pullman train between
Portland and Chicago will carry no To-
cal traffic between Portland, Hood

the train running in either direction.

result in making the train limited

Tribute 70 Painters Skill.

One of the still life paintings by
Jan van Huysen in the museum at
The Hague was recently injured, but
1t is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents a basket of
fruit on which a number Of insects
have gathered. On a pale yellow APP
pie, which is the centerpiece in the
cluster of fruit, is large fly, painted
so true to nature. SO say the officials
of the gallery. that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas. "A
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, "for which
the work had to suffer"

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His Boys" Call Him the General Ad-
wiser Without Pay"-He Is
Partial to None.

When a man loves to live he usual
ly can go among men who care little
whether they live or not and do good.
Such a man is Augustus Il. Vaughan,
immaculate of dress and of heart ven
cradle in years and usefulness, whom
one may see almost any day either on
Boston Common or at the Young
Mems Christian Union.
His specially is helping his fallen
and discouraged brother. whether he
be a cigarette smoking boy or rum
sodden and disheartened derelict OF a
man. His creed is cheerfulness and
his passion Is books.
Often one may see him, tall and
straight, faultlessly attired in a frock
coat, with his flowing white beard and
his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim OF
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and
then one is sure to be struck by the
contrast. Many a man he has met
there has later become as clean OF
body and heart as himself, and all
through his infectious good nature and
brotherly comraderie.
Among the younger men with whom
this old young man of 10 increasingly
labors he is known as "the general
adviser without pay" and he is as in.
terested in their ambitions as they
can be, and so youthful is he in their
presence that he is always one OF
them.
Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in &C
tive business this summer, but he
comes to Boston every day, rain OF
shine, to talk with his boys" as he
calls them Some of these have never
before known real friend. He is
highly educated, and counts among his
friends many college presidents and
professors
He was born in Middleboro, nearly
seventy-five years ago, and traces his
lineage back to Peregrine White oil
Mayflower fame.

want to help the boys to enjoy liv
