out of food. he hitched up and started
for Odell but found navigation impos-

BONDS
ARE CRITICIZED

Hood River. Ore. Jan. Is, 1912.
Editor Glacier Relative to the is
suance Of bonds for a public dock, | am
not at all in favor of this proposition
at this or any other time. In the first
place "our George" in his circular
letters says: it might cost $4,000. 90
ard again It might cost S25, 900. 90, don't
you feel that we tax payers should
have more definite information than
this? And again, if this is to be used
IN conjunction with the Panama Canal
buslnessS why nOt wait until that
busines is developed 1t would take
only a matter of sixty days to con-
struct a dock.
| speak facts when | say to the peo-
pie of Hood River County, that were
we to construct this dock as proposed
by our Honorable County Judge, we
would Immediately either have to hire
or construct dredge with which to
keep the channel open to the dock.
Every one familiar with the matter
knows that boats landing at the present
location have to back up to Kobergs
to get out into the channel or into the
landing.
How much do the boat lines now op-
Grating on the river contribute in taxes
toward the support of Hood River Coun-
tyt If | am not mistaken they pay
their taxes into the Golfers of Multi
nomah County.
There is no question but what the
county is greatly in need of road i'm
provement, but is it just to ask the tax
payers of the county to burden them
selves or the county with this enor-
nous debt? The interest on the
amount would amount to approximately
$50, 600 per annum.
When Hood River County was Great
ed the assessed valuation was about
So, 600, 600, at the present time the as
sessed valuation is over $l2, 600, 00G, an
Increase of approximately 400 per cent.
The last issue of your paper gives
County levy as ten and eight tenths
mills to which will be added the special
school and road levys thereby incresa-
ing the levy to approximately 20 mills.
Look back if you will to the time
when Hood River County was created:
with an assessed valuation of less than
So, 900, 600 (for arguments sake we call
it three million twenty mill levy at
this time, would have been an eighty
then; had you thought OF that? Can
we tax payers stand the strain?
1t will be but a vey short time until
the tax payers will be called upon to
build court house which no doubt will
cost approximately 500, 600.
Now, | am in favor of anything
WITHIN REASON that will be. of
benefit to Hood River and the county,
but like myself nearly every property
owner has personal Indebtedness that
must have attention and to my mind
this bond question is very serious
matter and commands the grave con-
sideration of all tax payers.

Wheeler Gets Lost in Storm.

Charles l.. Wheeler, who had a thrill
ling adventure while climbing a cliff
last Summer and whose coat was eaten
by large hog, while he was cruising
in the timbeFed region of Kickitat
county near the base of Mount Adams,
came very near spending the Friuay
night before the heavy snow storm on
the sand bar north Of the city. Mr..
Wheeler, who was returning from d
business trip to Camas Prairie, crossed
the Columbia on the gasoline launch Of
Capt. Otis Treiber. When he landed
on the Oregon bank the snow was
falling so fast that it was impossible
for him to see the lights Of the city.
Indeed, ! couldn't see my hands be
fore me. says Wheeler, who until a
day or two ago kept the story very
quiet. 1t being impossible to follow
the roadway in the sand, the fellow
became lost and wandered in a south
westerly direction instead of toward
the 0. W. K. q N. station. After
wandering over the bar for about three
hours. falling into slough and bump
ing into drifts. Wheeler hually saw a
light, the storm having abated some
what, and, dead tired, made his way to
the city.

ORCHARD MISTAKES
Is MASON'S SUBJECT

A. !. Mason, having arrived from
Estacada, where he delivered an adj.
dress to the members of the Growers
Union Of that place, spoke to the busi.
ness men of Portland at the Y. M. C.
A., under the auspices of that organic
alton, Saturday night on Mistakes OF
Orcharding and How to Correct
Them" The Estacada address touch
ed the high spots of the business, Mr..
Mason said.
During the Portland address MIR.
Mason spoke in part as follows:
am of different opinion from many
persons as to the possibilities of graft
ing on old stock. 1t is now not consd-
cred as advisable, but have made a
success of it and there is no reason
why anyone cannot do the same by the
same methods and care. 1t stands to
reason where there are strong stock
and roots, virility must exist, and it only
remains to take advantage of this.
1t must be remembered, however, in
planting a few buds on an old stock
that these cannot be expected to be
able to absorb all the sap, so some of
the old branches should be retained
until the young have reached the same
growth and then gradually cut off the
old branches in the way you desire to
train your tree.
"Apple-growing is a business, not a
pastime, if commercial results are to
be expected, so do not hire someone
to look out for your orchard, but do it
yourself. When you come to some pro-
blem that you do not understand, ask
any man in the business who has made
a success of it, and he will always
tell you what is best to do.
1T is fair statement that it will
take nine years for an apple orchard
to be seIf-supporting with everything
up to that time paid for, and thereaf-
ter a good average income should be
secured with proper care. Some years
are good and some bad in both quantity
and price, but | am now making $4,000
annually off my orchard by close atten-
tion to every detail, and ] am quite
sure that | could never have acquired
that much by remaining in Portland.
81 will tell you in Portland one thing
that you may not like, but it is true.
We grade our apples into our class
es, as follows: Fancy Special, Special,
Portland, and Cider. In other words,
what is not salable in the East is ship
ped to Portland, and what Portland
will not take is made into cider. | find
that one great present fault in apple
culture is that too many varieties are
attempted when the one b est adapted
to the district should be specialized
in" "

WALLA WALLA MEN
SUGGEST SPECIALIZING

In an effort to determine the variety
of apple best adapted for production in
the Malla Walla Valley, with view
Of getting the fruitgrowers Of the val
ley to specialize in the growing of such
variety of apple, committee was
last Thursday in conference with l..
NJ. Brown, publicity manager of the
Commercial Club, of Walla Walla.
This action is the result of Mr.
Biown's talk before the recent meet
ing of the stockholders of the Milton
Union, in which he told of the results
being obtained by'otber apple produc-
ing localities Of the Northwest by
specialization of a few varieties of
apples.
While the work of the committee
will cover several weeks, il is possible
that the varieties chosen will be in
cluded in the following: Walla Walla
