RECENT DISASTERS

The year 1918 has begun with fearful
disasters over the United States. The
Atlantic seaboard has been swept by
storms. However. the Pacific coast,
where storms are less numerous, has
suffered more severely. The wreck of
the tank steamer, "The Rosecrans".
when 33 lives were lost, was a fearful
catastrophe. Its waves beaten to
wrath by the seasons storm winds, the
Pacific has taken a toll Of life at other
points up and down the coast.
But it is not uncommon to hear of
such disasters this time of the year
nor are we surprised to read of the
havoc wrought by the frosts Of Boreas.
Salt Lake City residents suffered a
water famine. their pipes having been
frozen and the supply shut off,.
Yet this winter has given US more
terrible disaster than usual in the
freeze extending over the southern
California orange district. The terrible
loss to the citrus orchardists was unac-
companied by the loss of life. 1t was
different from the great disasters
caused by wind storms or fires and it
fails to impress itself upon us for the
very reason of the calmness with
which it wrought its havoc. Silently
and without uproar the frosts reached
out over the southland and nipped the
twigs of the orchards and froze the
Juices of the fruits and loss of many
millions of dollars resulted.
A dispatch from Stanford University
states that 200 of that institution
students have left for their homes ir
southern California, having been re
called by their parents. many of whom
suffered great financial loss from the
freeze. Even though the dispatch il
greatly exaggerated we may draw
from it some idea of the magnitude O
the disaster.

HOG RAISING PROFIT
ABLE SAYS THOMPSON

Raising pigs is just about as profit
able here in the Hood River valley as
apple culture" say j. F. Thompson, Of
the Upper Valley, who spent the first
of the week in the city, "and | am
going to plant portion of my ranch
to alfalfa and begin to raise more
hogs" Mr.. Thompson has learned the
profits of hog raising by personal ex-
perience. The first of last year he
purchased six young pigs from neigh
bor, paying him SlS for the bunch. AT
the age of five months he killed three
of them. selling the pork for S36. 50.
The feed for these three had cost him
$3.50.
The other three were kept until they
were ten months old, when thy were
slaughtered by Mr.. Thompson, for his
own use. He secured GIG pounds of
bacon. Nov would have been
forced to have paid IL cents a pound
for this had gone to the market and
have purchased it, he says, $50 fig
ure that have cleared SOS on my hog
deal. The feed for the bunch that
kept for my own use cost me Sl8.
And he does not take INTO considera-
tion the 207 pounds of lard that his
wife rendered from the fat of the hogs.

THE L0LP BOULEVARD

While the people of Portland are
urging the hasty construction Of the
Portland Hood IRiyer highway. that
scenic route up the Columbia, another
element has retarded the progress of
the proposed road that will lead from
Government camp over by Lost Lake
into the Hood River valley, Aa it
seems to those who know the route,
number of Portland people, who have
secured the cooperation of Mayor
Rushlight of that city, wrongly in
formed as to the location of the route
of the highway have with hysterieal
haste petitioned congress not to expend
any money on the way. 1t is claimed
by these, who would obstruct the road,
that it will cross the water shed of
Bull Run Lake and pollute portland's
water supply. Men who have tray
ersed over every foot of the Bull Run
water shed and who know the route of
the proposed way declare that'it will
not cross the water shed. The federal
government desires the way opened :;
for il will be invaluable in case of
serious fire in the Mount Hood re-
serves. Indeed, an appropriation of
$4,000 has already been expended in
cutting trail over the proposed route
of the highway.
The opening of this road will be of
inestimable benefit to that portion of
Hood River county lying between the
West Fork of Hood river and the Lake
Branch. If the road does not cross the
water shed. Hood River citizens should
determine the matter definitely and set
the minds of the Portland people at
rest. Even if it does cross the reserve
for short distance, those who would
obstruct one of the most wonderful
highways in the country, scenic route
that would be developed by the federal
government, should be shown that
even then it will not be the cause of
pollution to the Portland source of
water supply.

of time in a heavy snow storm such al
some of last weeks were.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
in APPLE HOUSE

A fire, the source of which is still a
mystery. was discovered at the Sears
& Porter apple house on the East Side
late Sunday afternoon. At the the
end of the building where the fire
started three ricks of apple boxes were
piled to the ceiling. In the late after.
noon A. V. Morrow had come to close
the outer door of the building. He
found it full of smoke and called Mr..
Crane. neighbor. Others living near
by hurried to the scene and the fire
was extinguished.
Between 100 and $50 boxes of apples
we're ruined. The fire must have been
smouldering for some time. for many
of the boxes were badly charred. The
progress of the fire was retarded and
the building thus probably saved by
the cement floor. which was put in last
season. The loss will be covered by in
surance.
