the hall came the gasp Of a sitting

WARM WEATHER
MELTS GLACIERS

The warm weather that has been
prevalentsfor the past'week has melted
great portions of the Glaciers of Mount
Hood and the streams fed by them
have become foaming torrents. The
streams become swollen every summer
but never before have they been seen
to rise so rapidly. The color of the
water is usually milky in the summer
months. 1t is now dingy yellow.
The headwaters of the streams are
filled with ice jams and large blocks
broken from the glaciers may be seem
floating into the Columbia.
DIR. W. S. Nichol, who made the
wonderful slide down one of the
glaciers last summer and who came
very near losing his life when he
plunged into crevasse, asserts that
the heat alone is not the cause of the
great quantity of broken ice plunging
down the mountain. DR.. Nichol,
whose weight is something like $50
pounds, asserts that he disintegrated
the ice in his fall. last year.

THE WEATHER.

Eve spoke to Adam once about the
weather, Their progeny, the human
race, has been discussing II ever since.
Old Noah told the folks that he
thought 1t was going to rain. He was
perhaps the first official forecaster.
The real happening of his predictions
made a great and interesting story.
The man who has never mentioned the
conditions of the elements will be an
eternal freak. ST. Peter would refuse
him the entrance to the golden portals
and the three headed pup that jealous,
ly watches the entrance to Hades
would bark at him.
The weather is subject that we all
like to discuss. II is the newsiest and
most frequently used piece of material
that modern newspapers make use Of
Spring, Fall, Winter or Summer-it is
ever before the public eye. 1t has be-
come one Of the department stores
best advertisement assets.
Somebody recently remarked that it
was hot in Hood River. Yes, it has
been lite warm. Indeed, it has
been hot for Hood River, and when the
cool breezes began to blow yesterday
and cooled the Valley everybody was
thankful. 1--WE knew it wouldn't last
long, F" they remarked to each other.
The warm spell Of last week was a
little joke that the weather god played
on US. Or was IL joke after all.
Perhaps he wanted us to realize just
what glorious spot we really have
and gave us the small dose of high
temperature to show us how our
cousins in other places really perspire.
We thought it was exceedingly hot be-
cause We are not used to over warm
weather: Our imaginations ran riot
when we saw the pieces of aged
glaciers floating down the Hood River.
hut we are relieved now that DIR.
Nichol has explained why the glaciers
are breaking up.

SICCFSFIJL ORCHARDING.


The organization by Hood River
apple growers was mark Of progress.
just as the organization Of the Union
and the close cooperation Of its men,
bers working toward a successful mar
keting Of apples was noted by the
world of business men in general and
especially the apple growers as has
the Fellowship association, and its
methods, been marked as an example
worth following. 1t should be peculiar
ly gratifying to local orchardists to
read in the Portland Journal the fol-
lowing editorial comment:
Eternal vigilance is the price OF
successful orcharding. Hood River
knows.
"That community is preparing to
finance an experiment station OF its
own. The plan is to have commun-
tiy orchard under direction Of an ex-
pert and managed by the commercial
club.
''In this orchard experiments in
every phase Of scientific orcharding
will be made. The treatment of fruit
diseases, how to wage the incessant
battle with pests and the ether phases
of making an orchard pay will be the
quest of this home-finaneed station,
maintaining AS il will close relation
with the Agricultural college at Cor
wallis. Hood River and Rogue River
stand at the head of the list in success
full orcharding. They are leadership
of the world in apple and pear grow
ing. with Hood River the pioneer in
successful marketing.
"With such a record, il would have
been supposed that Hood River has
nothing else to learn about fruit grow
ing.
"But Hood River, by object lesson,
tells us another tale. BY its commun-
ity orchard for Investigation, Hood
River gives US to understand that its
orchardists know that there are truths
that they have not yet seized. 1t is
confession that eternal vigilance is the
price of successful orcharding.
"The spirit of the orchardists is
lesson to the less experienced of how
to win in the business. Hood River
orchards were threatened once with
pear blight. All the literature, all
the knowledge and all the expert ad-
vice on the subject we're brought into
action, and the disease conquered in
single season. The community is now
free from pear blight.
''0nce. orchards there were threat
ened with scab. The same vigorous
measures were applied, and the same
decisive result secured.
"Orcharding is in constant evolution.
1t is an issue Of fit site, adaptation of
varieties, marketing and the personal
equation. Experts figure that when
all else is fit, personal equation is 80
per cent asset toward success. The
truth of this claim seems proven by
the alertness, the activity, the vigor
and the constant watchfulness of the
old hands at the business in Hood
River and on the Rogue.

ceed in the industry. and the unfit
fail. !"
