The Young Mans
Chance on the Farm

In an article entitled The Pennt
less Farmers Chance in the cur
rent issue Of Farm and Fireside. ap
pears the following:
In spite of the cry that the high
price OF land Is driving young farm
ers TO some other occupation, there
never was time when an ambitious
young country man had better
chance than right now. II Is true
that farm lands, implements, the cost
of living and clothing are high. but
there are some other things high on
the other side OF the sheet. Farm
products are selling at very high
rate, and farm labor Is very scarce,
and farm opportunities are multiply
ing every year
With his bare hands. any young
man can lay the foundation of q mod
est fortune in short time, and do 1t
under the most healthful and invigor-
ating conditions. In other words,
there never was such a demand for
good tenants as there Is at present
tenants, not farm hands. or course
there Is steady cry for farm hands,
but young man should seek a place
as a tenant instead OF as a laborer,
for in the former there are chances
that the country Is just waking up TO
all over the land.
Hundreds OF middle-aged men in
every county in the older part of the
farming community are wanting to
retire from active work either by
moving off the farm or taking a young
man into partnership with them.
These men feel that they have earned
a rest. yet there Is no one to whom
they can safely entrust their business.
Their own sons have gone to the
cities or are settled on farms Of their
own, and the hired men they are able
to get are vexation to the spirit In
most Instances. In despair the farm.
er sells out and invests the money In
bonds or something else, to be rid Of
the care Of the farm, and then moves
to town. And right here Is where the
ambitious young man finds his
chance"

OF birds will be thrown back upon the

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1913-09-18
CAPT. SHAW TELLS OF
GETTYSBURG REUNION

With the intensest interest the local
veterans of the Civil war, members of
Candy Post, G. A. r., who had gsah-
cred at the X. of p hall Saturday af-
tarnoon listened to the address of
Capt. James p. Shaw, Oregon's COM
missioner in charge of the states Fed
sral and Confederate veterans who at
tended the Gettysburg reunion. who
told his hearers of the wonderful and
unique gathering. Capt. Shaw, who is
pleasing speaker, enunciating his
words clearly and in voice that is
musical, began his address with re-
sumo of the purposes of The battle,
telling of the desire of Lee to break
through the lines OF the Union forces
and pierce territory rich in supplies.
"1he ground had scarcely changed
since the great and decisive conflict,
said Capt. Shaw. "The wheat had just
been cut as it had been cut so years
ago, when Comrade Deitz charged with
his regiment there on the hills. Some
of the old roads are just the same.
Others are changed only in name.
''rhe trip across the continent was
one of the pleasantest | have ever had.
We were the recipients of many honors
from the time of our departure from
the Union station at Portland until we
arrived on time at 3 o'clock on the af-
ternoon of June 20. 0regon's soldiers
were the only ones who went into Get
tysburg aboard a solid train. None of
US will ever forget the stop here in
Hood River, when you were so kind in
presenting flowers and fruits.
1--WE reached our camp at s 80, delay
having been caused in disembarking
from the train on account of the fact
that but a single track passes through
the town OF Gettysburg.
1.-The field was fitted in every way
for our convenience. Water was piped
through the tent city. The government
had dug deep pits and placed ice around
the pipes, and we always had ice water.
The heat was not nearly so great as
the newspapers represented. ~
Capt. Shaw declared that the papsfs
had grossly misrepresented many facts.
MANY of them stated that President
Wilson had been received with frost
by very small audience" Z" said Capt.
| Shaw, "when in fact he received a
great ovation and the great tent was
crowded.
"There were 10000 people present
at Gettysburg, $1,000 of the veterans
whose average age was 70 years, and
yet only nine deaths occurred at the
reunion. The fatalities were smaller
than they would have been had the old
fellows remained at home.
Capt. Shaw closed his address by
telling of the great feeling of loyalty
! that pervades the country, both in the
north and south. ''lt seems that the
nation has been guided by some provi-
dence," he said, "and the war was
brought about to cleanse it from dis
rupting influences and to eliminate
sectlonalism. Today the people are all
one and the man of the south as well
as the northern veteran is intensely
loyal to the Union.
While here Capt. Shaw was enter
tanned at Twin Oaks Fruit farm, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. F. Blythe.
He remained Sunday to attend the fu-
neral services of the late Comrade
| Bailey.

Miss Jean Lawson, Mrs. Lord and Mrs.
Hal Mccall. Mr.. Mccall and Reginald
Pratt are also with him. They at
tenoed The Pendleton Round Up last
week and the noted Bostonian has the
most enthusiastic praise for the char
acter Of entertainment presented by
PendletOn.
MIR. Lawson has remained on the
Cottage Farm recovering from a severe
cold since he has been here and has
made no tour of the valley. But he
expresses an intense interest in the
problems of the orchardist and recalls
his sojOurn of 10 days here two sum
mers ago. Eat that time" says Mr..
Lawson, II wrote for you in the Gla-
cisr my impressions of your wonderful
district, and if you will recall my story
you will remember the emphasis ! laid
on the problem of marketing and point
ed out crises. Just such as the north
west fruit grower met with last win.
ctr"
In his article of two years ago, in
deed, Mr.. Lawson, with the graphic
diction peculiar to his utterances,
warned the growers of Hood River that
too much attention. should not be paid
to production, to the detriment of sci
entific distribution. During the past
two years he has at various times
made this marketing problem of grow
ers the keynote of discussions, both in
written articles and in public address,
es. And Mr.. Lawson's interest in the
welfare of the Hood River orchardist
as well as those of other districts, is
just las keen now as it was two years
ago. And, though resting in the au-
tumn sunshine here in the heart of the
Cascades, the noted author keeps busy
his powers of observation and asks
pertinent questions of those with whom
he converses, gathering facts and infor-
nation.
MIR. Lawson is not only Hood River
booster. He speaks with a full heart,
when he talks of any part of Oregon.
"ltis wonderful country" he says,
"A wonderful state. filled with oppor-
tunities, inestimable, and where any
man should be content to make his
home"
"And Hood River?" he said yester-
day at the conclusion of talk with a
representative of the Glacier. Hood
River? Why, Hood River. people should
never worry, when they have such sun
shine as that, and he gave his arm a
broad sweep, as his eye took in the
panorama OF the mountain scenery
across the Columbia, the whole topped
by the glimmering peak of Mount
Adams.
Mr.. Lawson and party expect to re-
turn today to the Mccall ranch at
prineville.
