THE REWARDS
OF SPECIALIZING
(From the Eugene Register)

One of the greatest needs of the
Willamette valley is the large produc-
tion of some special crop that will not
be subject to the competition of other
sections where production is more ad-
vanced, and where more publicity
work. which is a vital feature, has
been done. The Willamette valley has
erred in not specializing more extern
sively. Specialization carried to the
extent of becoming a one-crop section
is not desirable, because of failure
of the specialized crop means temper
ary stagnation of business, but center
ing attention upon some one staple
that is peculiarly suited to soil and
climatic conditions and that can be
brought to higher state of excellence
than elsewhere. is essential to success.
Other sections in Oregon and the
Northwest have recognize d this fact,
and the benefits and profits that they
are realizing are making them pros
porous and famous. Hood River is
known all over the world as a producer
of the finest apples that are grown.
The name Hood River" is a hall
mark of apple quality. Yet even Hood
River does not point its gun at the
whole flock and shoot indiscriminately
1t has learned that the Spitzenberg
and the Yellow Newtown are the vari-
eties that it can bring to a peculiar
excellence that will command fancy
price from people who are willing to
pay for quality.
Wenatchee, WASH, is rapidly getting
fame as an apple growing section be-
cause it can produce Winesap apples
that stand out from the rest of the
exhibits in the fruit store windows
and compel the apple eater to stop and
buy. The Rogue River valley has
benefited by specializing on pears.
The Rogue River pear is known in the
markets of all the large cities of the
world, and commands an increasing
price. The growers have been quick
to appreciate the returns that special
ization has brought them, and it is
said that within very few years
eighty per cent of the fruit production
of the valley will be pears.
Specialization. has several advantag-
es. 1t increases quality py centering
i attention upon doing one thing well.
1t makes possible a better market,
because under production is serious
handicap to the seller of fruit. Buyers
prefer to turn their attention to those
places where the output is large
enough to make its handling profitable.
Fruit must be shipped in refrigerator
cars, and the section that can ice car
load or trainload at time has con-
siderable advantage over the one that
produces in quantities so small as to
make handling and shipping unprotit-
able. Community advertising is also
an important result of crop specialize
, alton.
The Willamette valley has abundant
opportunity to win fame by producing
crops that cannot be equaled else
where. 1t has advantages of soil and
climate that produce certain fruits in
degree of excellence that makes COM
petition in quality impossible. One of
these is the cherry.

SCENERY AGAIN

Secretary Scott, of the Commercial
club. has letter from Portland man
who wishes to find accommodations for
a couple of people for two weeks.
Some place where the hills are not too
fur away, and perhaps near some OF
the streams. II there are any ranch
ers in the valley who could take care
of these people and make little
money for themselves. he would ap.
preeiate it if they would call him on
the phone and let him know. as he an.
ticipates quite a lot of these Inquiries
next year.
MIR. Scott says there is an excellent
chance for someone with an attractive
place to do quite a lot of this kind of
business in the valley. When the
Portland road gets through Hood River
will be visited by thousands of people
annually, and the more accomnoda
tions we have for visitors, the more
visitors we will have. Visitors leave
money and we should be in a receptive
mood in this direction Money from
tourists is just as good as any money
made. The tourist is generally out for
a good time and spends money freely.
Some local man has figured that Hood
River has $1,000, 00O worth of scenery
a year going to waste. In ether words
visitors leave in Switzerland over
$500, 900, 900 year and according to
area, Hood River county has the
smaller amount coming to it. if we
were ready to receive it. Think of it !;
five times the apple crop.

Ten Hung in Hood River.

One of the most extraordinary cases
of hanging took place in our city last
week. 1t happened in dwelling.
Hardly any one realized the fact until
it was all over. Our city marshal knew
of it and scarcely paid any attention to
it. He only stood and watched and
smiled. seemingly we'll pleased. In
fact every one that was there during
the four days of the hanging seemed to
be we'll pleased and satisfied.
THE Morris Sign Co. did the hanging
and we are still at large and in that
business. We have full line of first
class wall paper and can hang MANY
more rooms in the same artistic man.

SCHOOL CHILDRES'S EXHIBITS

Two weeks from next Saturday Hood
River county will hold its first fair for
the purpose of exhibiting the horticul-
tural products Of its children and the
articles of their handiwork. To get
the best results from these fairs the
parents and teachers, as well as the
children, should take them seriously.
II should, and no doubt will, be felt
great honor to be prize winnersat The
fair. The interest that the boy or girl
takes in the event will act as stimu-
lus toward creating better and more
products in all lines Of the industries Of
country life.
State Superintendent Of Schools Al
derman, by his promotion of the school
fairs, has created comment of com
mendation from the press Of other
states as well as his own. The Spo-
kane Spokesman Review in a recent
issue says:
"The new education finds apprecia-
tiOn in high circles. The leading part
which State SuperiRt ndent Alderman,
of Oregon, has taken insthis movement
has only been possible because Of the !
active cooperation which he has Sc
cured from commercial bodies and large |
business organizations as well as many
individuals throughout the
state. An item which gives evidence
of this widespread interest is seen in
the fact that the Southern Pacific rail
way has agreed to transport school ex
hibits from all points pn its line in
Oregon TO the state fair at Salem, and
return the same, free of charge. These
exhibits include drawings, needle work,
agricultural proudcts, canned goods and s
preserves, poultry, live stock, all s
work. Of industrial schools exhibited j,
y pupils under the direction Of the !
tate board Of education. All such ex- 4
ibits are to be concentrated and kept /
1gether from each school or school =
strict under the direction of superin- =
,ndent, principal, or other proper au- et
lority and, if returned to original II
,int of shipment, handling must be L
ider same conditions. The Oregon q
ectric lines will handle exhibits ac- b
riding TO same rules. re

Fish For Lost Lake

W. s. Gribble, district game warden,
has written to State Warden W. L.
Finlev for a carload of trout fry for
[ est AXE. The fish will be sent by
rail to Dee and transported to the con-
fence of the Lake Branch and West
Fork. where they will be kept over
night in the ditch of the Dee Power q
Irrigation Co. The next day they will
be carried on and placed in the lake.
1t is said that the many water dogs
destroy the eggs and young fish in the
lake. However, the new stock VIII
tend to destroy the salamanders by
faediag-.on them and it is hoped to rid
the waters of this pest.

RESULTS OF THE CHAUTAUQUA.

In addition to the social pleasure
derived by the ranchers at the First
Annual Hood River Chautauqua. the
meeting together of the citizens of
the Valley will have two results. The
visit of the people of the Lower Valley
to the region beyond Booth Hill will
bring about the realization of the vast
amount of clearing that has gone on
there. While but glimpse may be
had of the improvements from Park
dale, many, especially those who jour
neyed to the Chautauqua in their auto
mobiles, travelled over the Upper
Valley highways, and were impressed
BY the spirit of progress. New homes,
large handsome residences and the
unique and comfortable bungalows
arise on every hand.
Furthermore the visit to Woodwork
park and an inspection of the the won
derful springs that bubble out from
beneath the lava beds there has re
suited in an increased agitation for
water system to thread the entir,
Hood River Valley. Undoubtedly sucI
water system will materialize som
day. Experts have tested the capacit
of the springs there aud declare tina
they will furnish the source of sur
ply for the entire community.
course, the agitation is yet tentative
However. because of the importanc
of the valley securing pure waite
supply, the suggestion will grow an
with closer thought given to it, it
prophesied by some of the leading cit
zens of the community that a plan ma
be evolved for a water system to GOV,
the entire district.

DEATHS
Donald Bronson

The friends and relatives of Donald
Bronson, who has been spending the
summer here with his brother, DR..
Malcolm Bronson. were shocked last
week to learn of his sudden death near
Green River Wyo,, where he was
stricken while returning to his home in
Hamilton, Ohio, The young man has
been suffering recently from a broken
RIB, an injury received a number of
years ago while playing football. He
was noted in the vicinity of Hamilton
as an athlete. 1t is thought his death
was caused by the high altitude.
The body was taken to Hamilton for
burial.

WATSONVILLE SHOW
NEAR AT HAND

Preparations for the third California
apple show, which is to be held at
Watsonville October TIP, are we'll un-
der way. President o. d. Stoesser has
appointed his committees and when all
are in working order there will be over
two hundred men and women actively
working for the third state apple show.
the floor plans for the show have been
adopted, the advance information is
already off the press, number of the
counties in the state have already ap-
piled for space this year and the show
is progressing rapidly. The plans for
the apple show this year call for class
of show that is entirely different from
any ever attempted on the coast.
Beauty and quality of exhibits count
more heavily this year than quantity,
the arrangement of the exhibits will
be different from that of past years
and the show from one end to the other
justities the catchy slogan of "the ap-
pie show different that has been
adopted.
The show will cover $4,000 square
feet, all area one-third larger than that
of the Coliseum, which housed the re-
cent famous Republican national con-
vention. While there we're exhibits
last year from fifteen counties, it is
anticipated this year that twice that
number will enter. The prize list this
year is larger than ever before and
every apple producing section in the
state will be welcome to exhibit. All
ready hundreds of inquiries from al
over the state have been received in
regard to the coming exposition.
Mrs. A. R. Middleton, who has been
here spending the summer with her
daughter. Mrs, G. r. Bone, left yester-
day for her home in Portland.
Christian Science services will be
held at the Oak Grove church Sunday
