CELERY CULTURE
PROVES PROFITABLE

That climatic conditions and wonder
fully productive soil of the Hood River
Valley is adapted to raising first quail
ity specimens of other products than
world champion apples has been sue
cessfully demonstrated by local celery
culture. +. Bruno Franz, who had an
acre of his ranch planted to this pro-
duct has just disposed of his last sea-
sons product.
The acre Of Mr.. Franzs ranch,
which is located in the Frankton district
about three miles west of here, netted
him $500 for the crop just sold He
expects to make improvements in his
method of cultivation for the ensuing
year which he feels sure will greatly
increase his profits. The STALKS of the
celery of Mr.. Franz's culture are well
bleached and crisp to the very tips.
1t possesses flavor sWeeter than most
of the plant on the market. 1t has
been served at the local hotels this
winter and visitors often comment
upon its excellent quality. AS soon as
the product became known on the
Portland market the crop was easily
disposed of and more demanded. Local
merchants were also supplied from this
ranch
j. M. Hollowell, who is now resi-
dent of McMinnville, succeeded in
making a reputation for the celery
grown here by him 5 years ago. Mr..
Holowell had small tract of the
j. F. Batcheder property, located west
of the Armory and which is now
divided in city lots and covered to a
great extent with residences.

JOBBERS CONVENTION
PROVES INTERESTING

C. H. Sproat and c. II. Greisen, who
have returned from the Western Fruit
jobber's convention and Citrus Fair,
which was in session Tuesday, Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday Of last
week at Sacramento, California, sreport
that the meeting was very interesting
as we'll as profitable 4. H. Shepard,
who was also present at the meeting,
will remain for some time in CalifOr-
MIA, visiting relatives at Palo Alto.
In speaking of the convention Mr..
Sproat says that it was profitable in
many ways to him in his capacity as
manager of the Apple Growers Union.
He met many old cOnsignees and a
number of new prospective customers,
who desire to get in touch with the
union for future business. The one
point against Hood River doing a great
business, remarked Mr.. Sproat, is the
high price Of the special market apples
such as Spitzenburgs and Newtowns.
However, it is universally admitted
that the apples of the valley are the
finest in the world. Everybody has
heard of Hood River and its apples
have reputation as having the highest
class standard of any on the market.
Everyone, concluded Mr.. Sproat,
thinks that the Hood River Valleys
fancy Spitzenburg and Newtown are
too high priced for the middle western
trade. Yet this section is eager to
handle some of our goods. Mr.. Sproat
disposed of two carloads of fruit for
the union while on his trip. One will
90 to San Francisco and the other to
Los Angeles.
C. r. Greisen makes the following
interesting report of the convention:
Both meeting and Fair were a
great success. The attendance at the
Fruit Jobbers Meeting was from 400 to
500, and with the wives Of the fruit
jobbers, probably between 600 and 70C
people. Special trains were run from
Denver conveying about rs fruit job.

streamers hung down from the ceiling.
The tapestries were draped with Amer
lean flags. A border of glstening
Oregon Grape, from which twinkled
tiny red, white and blue globes was
entwined along the walls and added to
the artistic beauty of the decorations.
A large American eagle surrounded by
dim colored lights held sway on the
center of the stage.
The witty thrusts of Chas. Hall,
POSTMASTER of the occasion, added to
enIivenment of the evening and the re-
sponses were filled with many laudable
bits of repartee. Though at times one

tanning to business. for the most part

rived the keenest enjoyment from the
responses.

THE New Higher Education" In
addition to teaching the youth of today
the classics and giving him a certain
amount of culture, he said it would be
the mission of the Reid Institute to
also disseminate more practical
knowledge and enlighten him along
lines that would be of actual benefit in
the after walks of life.

Orpheum circuit star. The program
was closed by Chas. |. Moody, who
took the part of "Clarice, man of
the squeaking voice type, who twirled
his silk hat, pulled his beloved side
whiskers and told the audience some Of

AGED Visitor Dies.

Mrs. Hannah SolIitt, who arrived in
this city last week from Illinois on a
visit to her daughter, Mrs. r. NJ. I'm
hoItz, was called by death carly Mon
day morning. Mrs. Solitt was great
traveller and had visited most Of the
states of the Union. However, until
she came to her daughters here. she
had never been in the Northwest. She
had reached the age of 80, and, though
she satisfied her desire Of seeing the
Pacific Northwest, the strain Of the trip
across the continent proved too much
for her. The body, accompanied by
Mrs. Imholtz, was taken to Illinois for
interment.

TO an effort he made TO defraud me
out OF the nomination two years ago.
The feature in this crime which he
doubtless regarded as making him

advantage OF certain youTTg man

hcial capacity under oath at this
election. and tempted him with
money to do certain part I'm carry

inducing this Young man TO perform
such fraudulent part and thus soiled
his soul with perjury.

small. but the principle involved is.
OF course. just the same as If the
transactions were. however. large:
SIS worth OF brass couplings was
sold az one time under the Cline
