Methodist church, Sunday evening.
DR.. Ford presided and expressed his
appreciation of the services of all who
have contributed to the success of the

and the interest was great in every
feature of the services. The musical
program was most excellent, and the
singing of the great congregation was
inspiring. Mr.. Skinner's solo, the
duet by Misses Edgington and Bradley
and the anthem by the Asbury
quartette elected special commenda-
tion and Mrs. Jackson presided at the
organ. The violin solo by Mrs. Chas.
Hall, Mrs. p. S. Davidson, accom-
PIANIST, charmed the audience.

of evident sincerity and earnestness
as to create profound impression
upon the people. Next Sunday even.

COMRADES MEET
AFTER 45 YEARS

sd. M. Perrine, of Fulton, N. Y, is
visiting Fred Deitz. Mr.. Perrine is
on his way home after wintering IN
Southern California. While Dietz was
in California he met Perine and see
ing his G. A. X. button happened to
ask him where he served, Perine re-
piled. "In the army Of the Potomac,
Co. A., 1st New York Light Artli-
lery;" w ann
: 81 was lieutenant in Co A. said
Perine.
$50 was ], :" replied Deitz.
. Both old soldiers stood eyelng each
other for awhile, each thinking may be
he had found the greatest liar on earth.
At last each gave his name. Both
recognized the name if they couldn' I
recognize the countenance after 4b
wears separation and then they fell
into each others arms and acted in a
manner that caused the passerby to
stop and remark that the two men
were candidates for the Crazy House.
Now that Deitz has his old comrade
at. his home he will try to keep him 81
days, but Perine says he will be well
on his way home by that time, now
that the walking is good.

$1,000 AN ACRE :
OREGON RECOzD
RAW LAND RECORD IN SAME DEAL
DR.. Stanton Allen Sells to R. 5. DelanO-.
Thirty-six West Side Acres
Bring $36,0OO.

The highest price ever paid not only
for Hood River orchard land, but for
orchard land any where in the state Of
Oregon, was recorded Tuesday when
Rede S. Delano, of New Bedford,
Mass, paid 5000 an acre for 6A
acres of the DR.. Stanton Allen orchard,
The sale was made through B. K.
Duncan & Co., and included seven
acres Of unimproved .land priced at
$685. an acre, the amount of the whole
transaction being $4,000.
The orchard of DR.. Allen, of which
he has Is acres left, is one of the best
in the valley. The tract which brought
the recornd price is set to Spitzenberg
and Newtown apple trees years old.
The Allen orchard was last year select
ed by the Oregon Agricultural College
experts as the scene of experiments
conducted with the lime and sulphur
sprays. DR.. Allen purchased the place
from Wilson Fike.
The high prices paid both for the or
chard and the unimproved land repre-
sent actual values placed on the land
itself as there are no buildings on the
property. The unimproved tract lies
across the road from the apple trees
and contains beautiful building site
on the bank of Neal Creek, upon which
Mr.. Delano plans to erect handsome
country home.
Mr.. Delano came to Hood River last
fall and bought small ranch on the
east side which he still holds and it is
his intention to make the new place his
home. He expects his mother and
brother to join him in Hood River
soon. Mr.. Delano has travelled extern
sively in all parts of the world and says
that the first time he ever heard Of
Hood River was during visit in Ger
many.
Another big transaction in orchard
land recorded this week is the sale
through G. l.. Rogers of the 36 acre
place of Charles Plog, on the west side,
to C. p. Jordan and A. J. Goodman, of
Portland, for $4,000. Twenty four
acres of this place is in bearing or
chard. This is the last of an 30 acre
place originally owned by Mr.. Plog
which he bought for $l1, 900 and from
which he has realized $54, 900 besides
the money received for the apple crops.

LADIES SPELL BETTER
THAN CLUB MEN

In the spelling match which was held
Friday evening at the Odd Fellow hall,
the members of the Woman's Club
clearly outclsssed and spelled down
their opponents from the Commercial
Club and when Prof. L. B. Gibson,
upon whom rested the last hope of the
male contingent, tainted even though
he was given "amonia there were still
three blushing school girls standing
opposite him ready to spell the rest
Of the night.
The rs ladies who upheld the honor
of their club were all attired in the
garb Of little school girls and they
were all good spoilers. Just the same
proportion of the boys and girls missed
on their first word, but when the pro-
nouncer started down the lines the
second time, the boosters fell faster
than the girls and the men faded away
rapidly as the words were pronounced.

APPLE CONDITIONS
TO BE DISCUSSED

Tuesday the Oregon State Board of
Horticulture will meet in the Office of
Secretary Williamson, Henry building
Portland, and render reports of fruit
conditions for the past six months.
The board is composed of President
Nv. X. Newell, of CASTOR; M. o.
Lownsdale, Lafayette; Judd Geer,
Cove; A. II. Carson, Grants Pass;
C. A. Park, Salem and r. II. Weber,
The Dalles.
One of the principal topics discussed
by the Board will be the attempt of
New York apple growers to foist
National law on the fruit growers of
the West in regard to the size of the
fruit boxes to be used. President
Newell spent considerable time in the
National capital this term of Con-
gress, in attempting to stave off this
legislation, and succeeded but the fruit
growers of New York, who sell their
apples in barrels instead of boxes,
blame the boxes for the lack of popu-
larity of the barrels in the markets
of the Atlantic states.
''The difference is not in the method
of packing, but in the size and flavor
of the fruit" Secretary Williamson
says, "and we will therefore expect
more hostility on the part of the
New York growers in the future"
Reports read at the meeting will
refer to crop conditions, improved
methods in packing and marketing and
the more general use of sprayers by
parties having but few trees. Some
thing will probably be done to bring
about more general care for the
trees in the cities whose owners will be
compelled to spray or to cut them
down. The condition of old orchards
now being transformed into city lots
is such as TO consider the trees
menace to the fruit crop of the entire
state

the three stars left when the boosters
had all been retired to their seats.
Before the spelling began the large
crowd which attended greatly enjoyed
a Brownie drill, which was put on by
a dozen mysterious figures. A violin
solo by Win Chandler, accompanied by
Mrs. Dumble, was highly appreciated
and ,Earl Bartmess, accompanied by
Mrs. S. E. Bartmess, sang very
pleasing solo.
After the spelling was done the auc-
tion of the baskets took place and on
the many Of the supper packages the
bidding was fast and furious. The
basket bringing the highest price was
knocked down at $22.75 and others
ranged on down to 81. 50 for the lowest.
The lunches which were concealed in
the baskets and boxes were all very
excellent and every buyer at the auction
got his moneys worth. The enter
tainment brought in about $3.50 which
will go to the fund for furnishing the
new rooms of the Commercial Club.

n WEATHER MEN
Have Finished Sounding With Very
Gratifying Results

acknowledgements experts from
the weather bureau at Washington
have completed their work of sending
up sounding balloons here, the total
number used being twenty-six. One
of the experts, b. j. Sherry, has gone
to points on the Pacific coast. The
work of these gentlemen here was
highly satisfactory. Out of the TWEEN
ty-six balloons used during the
months of August and September,
baskets and instruments from 10 have
been returned. The records, however,
of these have not all been completed,
but have been sent to Mt. Weather,
Va, a station established by the
United States government, upon the
crest of the mountains, for the trans
lation. One of the balloons reached
an altitude of a litt'- more than eight
miles and registered a temperature OF
62 degrees below zero. The records
made by the balloons used at Huron
will be Of vital Importance to the
weather bureau OF the United States
and other countries. These records
will be published by the government
as soon as translation has been COM
pleted. Mr.. Sherry's errsne to Bis
marck is by direction OF the authori-
ties at Washington and is fer the pur-
pose of making Investigations rela-
tive to the establishment Of a perma-
nent test station, either in that city
or Huron. This station will be under
the direction of the United States
weather bureau and will mean mach
to the city in which it is located.

Commission Files Complaint

Dell Rapids-The South Dakota
railroad commission has filed a COM
plant with the Interstate Commerce
commission alleging that the freight
rates from South Dakota points
to the primary markets of Mime
apolis, Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago
and Omaha for the shipment OF flax,
millet, wheat, corn, rye, oats and bar
ley as compared with the rates on the
same commodities from North Da-
kota points of equal distance to a
markets are unreasonable and eXces-
sive, and that the proposed advance
of rates amounts to an increase or
from One-half cent to two cents per
hundreds. They further ask that aft
er due hearing on the said cOmpla MT
an order be issued commanding the
defendants to refrain from putting in
to effect or maintaining the proposed
increase in rates, and also that after
a full hearing and investigation an
order be issued fixing and establishing
such rates on the commodities specl-
fed from South Dakota points to the
primary markets named as the com
mission NAV deem reasonable and just.
All the railroads in South Dakota are
named as defendants in the petition.

PAGE FROM ANCIENT HISTORY
Incident Of Hannisal's Career That
Writers Appear to Hava
Overlooked.

Hannibal and his staff were pacing
merrily over the Alps on their faithful
war elephants. Suddenly a man with q
tin badge and chin whiskers rushed
Into the roadway and held up his
hand. You stop right where you be-"
he cried. why should l stop?" thun-
dered the great Carthaginian as his
mahout hooked the elephants ear.
You're exceeding the speed limit" re-
piled the man with the star. AN I'm
a duly appointed constable, by heck"
Hannibal was so overcome by this
amusing holdup that he tossed a bag
of g%azoolians to the officer and laugh
ing Historically rode away. Later on,
however, his indignation uppercut his
sense of humor, and he proceeded to
slam the life out Of the Roman con-
suls and their picked veterans, fore
ing the fighting to the very gates of
shuddering Rome.-Boston Traveller.

REPORT ON Home
COMMANDMENT GEDDIS OF THE
SOLDIERS HOME REPORTS
TO THE GOVERNOR
MONEY BACK TO STATE
Surplus of Appropriation Amounting
to Several Thousand Dollars
Not Needed Has Been
Returned

Huron-Col. ]. B. Geddis, Com
mandant of the State Soldiers Home
was in the city a day or two
since. He has completed his report
to Gov. Vessey and in it are found
some very interesting facts con
corning the State Soldiers Home at
Hot Springs. Col. Geddis assumed
charge of the Home Feb. /, 1909, his
report therefore covering part of the
term of the former commandant. The
legislature of 1907 appropriated for
salaries of officers and employees a.
the Home, $50, 100000 and for main
tenance $50, 900. 90, which became
available on the 1st of July, 1908.
When Col. Geddis assumed charge OF
the Home, the appropriation had been
expended and there was a deficiency
Of SIS, 437.3S, which was made good
with an appropriation by the legis-
lature of 1909, and at the close OF the
year, all outstanding bills had been
paid, amounting to $14,623.27, leaving
a balance reVerting to the state treas
ury of $794.11, which would not have
been, except for the holding back of
a number of bills, until too late to
include in the deficiency contract,
these were therefore paid from the
new appropriation. The appropriation
for the year June 80, 1909, for officers
and employees, was $17, 800, and the
amount expended was ST, 456.5S leav-
ing a balance to the state treasury Of
S43.40. There was an appropriation
for maintenance for the same year of
$55, 5000. 90, of which $50, 229.99 was ex-
pended, leaving a balance of $4,770.01.
For Improvements there was an az
preparation of SIS, 10000, of which
$14,060.SS was used, leaving a balan e
of $939.12. The total amount turned
into the state treasury for the year
ending June 80, 1910, was 6 $40. SO.
This is the first time in the history
of the institution that a surplus OF the
appropriations made, has reverted 40
the state treasury and indicates to
some degree, the careful MANAGEMENT
by Col. Geddis, Of the institution.
There was an appropriation of s. ,000.-
90 for repairs upon sewers all of
which was expended except s, 1872
which reverted to the state treasury.
OF the 261 members of the Home on
June 80, 1909, 1873 were present and IS
absent. Ninety-one were adm ell
during the year, making the total
number cared for 352. There was lost
during the year 90, total enrolment,
June 80, 1910, was 256, being a de ,reas Sc
of five during the year; the average
number present during the two years
was 403. The total number maintain n
ed but for which no appropriation wa
made, was "a. These were women,
wives of members and employees.
The report shows that the member,
are in exceptionally good health, well
cared for and fed and as contented as
could be expected. The buildings M
grounds are in the best possible con-
"home-like."

hiIls' Fires Expensive

Deadwood-With a record of owe
one hundred fires in the Black Hills
national forest this year, ~twenty-six OF
which were large ones, work of the de-
partment in this section since July
has been unusually heavy. This fire
fighting in the Black Hills has cost
the government in all owe $40 600, OF
which $12,5O alone was used in the
Deadwood district. One fire alone,
that at Redfern, cost nearly $4,000 to
extinguish to this district, while the
Custer district spent an additional
S 1000 on the same fire. Fires in Spear
Ash CANYON cost another SO 600 to
combat, while the Custer Peak fire
cost about 1000. The original ap-
preparation for fire fighting has been
exhausted by these drains, but the
president has authorized the expendl-
ture of an additional amount necessary
to defray expenses in order to AaVe
the timber.

Plenty of Pine Cones

Deadwood-No more pine cones
will be purchased this year in eth
err the northern or southern divi-
sions OF the Black Hills national for
est. For several weeks past the for
estry force has been inspecting the
piles of cones brought in by men and
boys who gathered them in the Hills
and sold them to the government at
Is cents a bushel. In all about % 900
bushels of cones were purchased in
the Hills, four-ffths of these being
secured by Supervisor lines at Custer
and the rest by Supervisor Kelleter
here. All the cones from here were
shipped to Custer, where they were
stored in a warehouse. where a high
temperature was maintained. This
causes the one to spread and drop
their seed, after which a tanning mill
is used to separate the seed from the
chaff. The seeds thus secured VII be
distributed by the government in the
national forests through the West,
where the yellow pine thrives and will
be planted next spring in reforesta-
ton Of burned areas. or the total
mount of cones gathered in the hills,
the weight was close to 600, 900 pounds.
