RECORD APPLES. :

With the exception. perhaps, Of the
few weeks during Spring. when the
trees are loaded down with blossoms,
Hood River apple orchards are never
more beautiful than in the fall Of the
year, when the fruit is coloring. To
drive along the Valley highways is
exceedingly delightful now TO the
orchard owners. 'whosbehold their crops
almost ready for the harvest. and a
wonderful revelation to the stranger,
who sees the bright red Spitzenbergs
and the yellow of the Newtowns and is
impressed by fruits" OF the grower s

Valley orchardists are bringing in
reports of record growth and product
during the past season. A remarkable
cluster Of Spitzenbergs, grown on the
ranch of E. r. Moller in the Oak Grove
district, is on display at the Office Of
G. Y. Edwards g. Co. Eleven medium
sized and perfect apples have grown
from twig four inches long. Every
apple is we'll eolored and matured.

EASTERN NEWSPAPER
TELLS OF FLOOD

1t used to be thought that Spring
was the season for freshets. How
ever, it seems that the style is chang
ing. AT least, this seems to be true
from the recent reports of storms
throughout portions of the East. The
following story telling of floods is
clipped from the Big Run. Pa, Trb-
une:
Gardens and lawns and wooden side
walks, are still found in a few places,
and crossings are sadly out of shape
from the effects of the flood and in
some instances it will take days to put
things right again. Not one left seem
ingly in the flooded district but who
suffered loss of from ten to twenty
five dollars and from that up to the
hundreds and even the thousands.
''ln some houses, the water was
fifteen inches deep above the floor, in
others even more. AT the crest of the
srteet car track, it was about the same
height. Thes road bed was damaged
some places and the filling at the sides
carried away. The flood is estimated

to have been four feet higher than any
previous one.
There was no loss of life but sever
al had some narrow escapes. The
Belts family in the upper end had to
be gotten out on an Fimprovised raft.
A man and his wife in a house in the
lower end were asleep in their lower
room and were awakened by the water
beginning to come into the bed The
man attempted to get out and found
himself in the water. His clothes
were all wet and he had to wiring them
to use them. Several parties were
away from home and the flood took its
own way with their homes and goods
except so far as some good neighbor
was able to help out.
During the height of the flood,
some lone horseman rode down the
street on the brick trolley line and then
rode slowly up again.
Later on, two men took boat ride
on some lum er down the street in
quite lively manner and then waded
home again.
w. f. Winger lost 62 nice chickens.
Many Others lost some also. Sam
Yohe had two fine pigs. One of them
was drowned but the other somehow
managed to get out of the pen and
went swimming down the creek as far
as Wilkins, where it emerged in
safety. This was perhaps the best
record ever made by pig in this Sec
tion. II swan about mile and a half.

BRANCH EXHIBITS.

No apples show better in an exhib
than those on the branch in natura
state. The Portland Chamber of Com
merce has called for such exhibits, ant
the Hood River Commercial club hal
been the first to respond. However
this single branch will look very lonely
The handsome 0rtleys need companions
Place with. them fine branch of Spitz
enbergs, Newtowns, and other varities,
The Chamber of Commerce has large
number of tall jars to place the ex.
hibits in. and lots of space to display
them.
The great trouble, it is said, in get
ting apples on the branch has been the
trouble in transporting them. How
ever, when the fruit is properly pack
ed it is no difficult matter to handle it..
Secretary Kaufman has worked out a
good system of Grating them. Secure
an old banana crate. cut 1t down to the
required length, and suspend the
branch within it in such a manner that
none of the apples will touch the side.
The crate may be as easily carried as
hat box.

late or absent. ssEMore records like this
would be appreciated.
Country pupils ere seldom late to
school. The tardy marks are usually
made by the studets who live nearest
the school building. Peculiar, isn't it?
During the four weeks ending Oct. 6,
there were 36 cases of tardiness. OF
this number, 20 were High School
students. Which also is peculiar, is il
not?
Responsibility means a great deal.
Meeting responsibility means great
deal more. Too many young people
shirk responsibility, and this leads to
failure. Every person has personal,
moral, ethical, and civic duties which
he alone can perform. If he fails to
meet his obligations an unjust burden
is thrown upon the shoulders of the
real toilers of the world.

GLACIER DITCH co.
WILL HOLD MEETING

The citizens Of the Upper Valley
supplied with water by the Glacier
ditch are iubilant over the completion
of its work. according to John Colds.
bury, who was in the city yesterday
and who gave the following interesting
history of the ditch:
The coming annual meeting Of the
Glacier lrrigating Company on 0etC.
ber Is, 1911 at the Valley Crest School
house is of great interest to the resi-.
dents of a certain portion Of the Upper
Valley.
After eight years Of endeavor to get
water to irrigate that portion Of the
valley. not covered by the Middle Fork
lrrigating Company's system. water
has been supplied 10 all who desired it.
The present company is a successor
Of the Snow Line Co. and the Noun.
tain Valley Ditch Co. These latter two
companies endeavored to serve the
district from the stream known as
Tilly Jane Greek. but after the bitches
and laterals had been dug and water
running through them, it was found
that Tilly Jane Creek dried up during
the month of August when water was
mostly needed.
Water at one time actually ran to
China Hill due to the efforts Of the
Mountain Valley Co. But il quit
soon after as the season advanced.
This was great encouragement to
the people of the section due to the
fact that most of the people at that
time were homesteading and their
means were limited. In 1906 the
Glacier Irrigating Company was formed
and filed on the waters of Sand and
Fall Greeks two or three miles above
Tilly Jane. The latter two creeks are
fed by the Eliot Glacier and have a
large volume OF water with which to
serve the community.
In 1909 and 1910 great change was
made in the ownership of land as new
blood in the form of settlers came
into the country. The company decided
to complete the ditch if the means
could be found to do so. One of the
great banking institutions of the
Northwest was approached in regard
to the matter and after thoroughly
investigating our country and the
people back of the enterprise decided
to advance us.the money.
AS result the bitches and laterals
were completed to China Hill last fall.
The community was jubilant, but
landslide during the winter filled a por-
tion OF the ditch this side of the Tilly
Jane Creeks and depressed the spirits
Of the stockholders. However, some
took off their coats, others opened up
their purses and got busy and built
new fume with proper approaches and
as a result the water began to flow
lown China Hill about June /.

Fire DESTROYS Rigby House.

The house of j. w. Rigby. just in
the rear of the Maternity hospital was
gutted by flames yesterday evening.
The exact origin of the fire, which
was discovered shortly before six
O'Clock, is not known. 1t is reported
that the flames were started by child
playing with matches, while one of the
nurses at the hospital states that a
burning chimney caused the fire.
The interior of the building, which
was occupied by Mrs. Margaret
Graham and others, was completely
ruined. MIR. Rigby had insurance on
the building and the furniture. which
was also his.
A small fire started in the Young
Meat shop. Tuesday evening, because
of the short eircuiting of electric cur
rant, was extingished before any dam
age was done to the building. A s
horse power motor. however, was COM
pletely ruined.
