POSTMASTER WANTS
MAIL BOXES IMPROVED

Postmaster w. M. Yates his issued a
circular to the patrons of the three
rural delivery routes running out of
Hood River, urging them to improve
the boxes and thus aid in securing a
prompt and convenient delivery of the
mail. 1t is the wish of the Postoffice
Department that all boxes and the
posts to which they are attached
should be painted pure white. This
not only benefits the patron by pro-
tecting the post and box from damage
by the weather, but by making all the
boxes uniform it serves to fix their
indentity throughout the country as u.
S. mail boxes. Another result which is
especially desirable in the Hood River
valley is that the boxes will have a
much neater and sightlier appearance
than they now have. The post to
which the box is attached should be
set in an easily accessible position by
the roadside and the box securely
fastened to a projecting arm of wood
as shown in the accompanying cut.

A deal was closed this week by
Myron Bruner with E. l.. McClain, of
Greenfield, Ohio, whereby the latter
becomes the owner of l9h acres of
orchard on the east side, the consdera-
tion being $780, 900. This orchard
which consists of five and seven year
old trees about evenly divided is one of
the finest in the valley and it will have
a good crop for trees of those ages this
fall. The ranch will be managed by
E. L. McClain, Jr., who has been in
the valley for some time, and house
and other improvements will be built
on the place by him. Mr.. Bruner still
retains a number of interests in Hood
River and will devote himself to
orchards affair, being interested in the
Brockton orchard on the east side and
the Boneboro Orchard Co. above Dee.

0. A. c. Experts Here.

Two of the horticultural experts of
the Oregon Agricultural ColIege at
Corvallis are speI ding considerable time
investigating orchard conditions in the
Hood River valley. Prof. H. s. jack
son came Tuesday and is making the
rounds of the larger orchards of the
valley and is particularly investigating
the effects Of the so-called "winter
kill" disease which has attacked a
few scattered trees in the valley and
which is not fully understood by the
experts. Prof. F. L. Griffiths is a. the
ranch of DIR. Stanton Allen on the east
side where he is conducting spraying
experiments and demonstrations. The
Allen orchard was the scene Of much
work by the .. A. c. men last year.

Display AT Rose Festival.

DR.. Emmett Drake, secretary of the
Portland Rose Festival, which will be
held June Gil, was here Monday
comforting with the directors of the
Commercial Club with regard to Hood
Rivers part in the coming celebration.
1t is not probable that Hood River
will be represented by float in the
parade as the expense of putting out
such display would be very heavy.
The Commercial Club contemplates
augmenting the display in the Cham
ber of Commerce for that week and also
probably making an additional display
of fruit in a centrally located show
window during the Rose Festival.

The arm may be of band iron three
sixteenths of an inch thick. The
measurement from points D TO B, is 36
inches and the boxes should be four
and half feet from the ground. This
allows ample space for the wheel Of
the wagon to pass under the box with
out the singletree striking TIE post.
The name and number of the box
should be painted plainly on the side
which the carrier approaches. The
signal also should be painted black.
In his communication, Postmaster
Yates notified the patrons of their
numbers and urged them to place their
boxes in good position Immediately il
they were insecure or poorly located.

MR., SOLOMON NAPOLEON CONE

Mr.. Solomon Napoleon Cone. or
Greensboro, was one Of the two emil

Washington some years ago to assure
the country that North Carolina was
well pleased with railroad rates and
regulations and wished 10 legislation,
At that very time the merchants and
manufacturers Of piedmont North
Carolina, were agitating to obtain re-
lief from high and discriminating
rates that worked great injury to
North Carolina manufacturing and
commerce.

Gone has recently gone to Washing

ton thai would end gambling in the

wasting words to presume to disagree
with a man with the name of wisdom
and However, with due hu-
mility in Solomon NapOleon's pres
ence, We must say tina we cannot
subscribe to this statement made by
him before the committee: There is
moro honor in Wall street and in
Beaver street thar there is in the
heart Of the country The Monroe
Enquirer says h if Napoleon Solo
mon is right 1.-The heart Of the coun-
try is pretty tolerably %rotten.'
What does Mr.. Cone know of the
heart Of the country that he should
compare it to the gambling fraternity
tina only last week in the Hooking
Valley matter showed the s~coundrel~
ism that goes unpublished there! OF
course, there are good men in Wa1l
street and in Beaver street, but they
are not the gamblers who put I'D or
down prices to fleece the lamb, or the
Morgans and ROckefellers who get
hundreds of millions by violating laws
and have pull enough to secure i'm
munity baths.
II North Carolina is any part OF
the heart of the country Mr.. Cone
has slandered it. Perhaps he calls
the heart of the country the men
in the small towns who make a bust
ness OF gambling. If SO, nothing more
needs to be said.
