DEATHS DUE TO ALCOHOL.
Eight Per Cent. Traced to it, Say In
surance Companies.

The influence of alcohol upon Ion
gevity has now been studied with
some thoroughness by physicians and
actuaries and some definite results
have been gained, although here
much work needs to be done. The
results show at any. rate that alcohol
does not increase longevity and hence
we have here again no cleW to the
worldwide desire for it. Robert
Mackenzie Moore, actuary of the
United Kingdom Temperance and
General Provident institute, in a re-
cent report based upon 60 years ex-
perience of that company in the in
surance of the lives of abstainers and
nonabstainers (the latter being mod
crate drinkers and good risks and
belonging to the same class and fol-
lowing the same occupations as the
former), found that in respect to
longevity the abstainers showed a
marked superiority over the nonab-
stainers throughout the whole period
of life for every class of policies and
for both sexes, however tested. For
instance, at the age of 80 the expec-
tations of life for the non-abstainers
is 35.1 years: for the abstainers ass
years. a difference Of nearly II per
cent. At the age of 40 the percent
age of difference is the same. An
other very thorough and impartial
investigation has been made by Ed
ward B. Phelps on the mortality due
to alcohol. 1t is based on the testi
mony Of the medical directors of
three prominent life insurance COM
panies Of America. Mr.. Phelps con-
ciusion is that per cent. of all
deaths of adults in the United States
are due to alcohol.

AIR OF PROSPERITY
RULES OVER VALLEY

Orchardists ale rushing their harvest
now. The pickers are hurrying their
work and packers are busy making the
fruit ready for transportation. There
is an atmosphere of hustle about the
entire valley. Wilmer Sieg stated Sat
urday that more than 400 carloads OF
local fruit had already been sold. and
that it was being routed out just as
fast as growers could get it to town.
"All buyers are bowling for their or
ders," be said, "and we are being con-
stantly urged to hurry the fruit that
has been sold. These 400 cars sold,
have been'disposed of for the best av-
erage price In years.
All of the warehouses of the associa-
tions affiliated with the Apple Growers
Association, have been opened and
scores of men have been put to work
labelling and loading the fruit into the
cars as fast as the wagons of the orch
ardIsts bring IL into the receiving sta
tions. From 10 to 20 carloads OF ap-
Piles will be shipped out from Hood
River every day until the crop is fairly
cleaned up.
Streams of wagons are in constant
procession on Railroad avenue, leading
by the big brick storage houses of the
Association. Four thousand boxes of
fruit were delivered in the city by
growers in one day as early as last
Friday.
"And with the season of hustle, ="
says Mr.. Sieg, there has esGtoo.
an atnloshere of prosperity. The grow
ers are feeling good; for the apple
prices this year are going to be the
best they have had for years. -

ORCHARDS THRIVE In
SKAMANIA COUNTY

Among the most thriving orchards in
the Underwood district opposite the
Hood River valley, across the Column
bia in Skamania county, Wash, are
those on the west side OF Underwood
Heights overlooking the Little White
Salmon river. Here the man travers-
ing the community is surprised TO find
large tracts of orchards just coming
into bearing. The soil is deep, red
shot and produces a rapid tree growth.
One of the most promising OF these
Young orchards, which will soon add
their quota to the northwest's produe-
tion of fruit, is owned by w. M. and
ID. G. C. Kollock. The former, with
Mrs. Koilock, makes his home on the
place and gives the orchard the best Of
care. Last Sunday. the writer accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. f. o. Blanchar IN
their automobile to the kollock home
and inspected the orchards of this dist
Tict.
Mr.. Kollock is a strong believer In
pears as filters in an orchard. On bis
Underwood Heights tract he has plant
ed a number of acres Of dwarf pears.
"These pears, grated on ounce
roots" says Mr.. Kolloek, "eome into
bearing very quickly. at from two to
three years of age. And when they
are planted deep, so that the roots
may grow from the main stems, will
after a few years time grow into
standard trees.
Other orchardsits of this district are
j. B. Purcell, A. Haswell. E. NJ. Cum
minis, H. +. Stickney, DR.. S. +. v.
Weber, H. w. Hamlin. George Hewitt
and Ben Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland re-
cenly purchased the Brown orchard on
the west side of the Little White
Salmon. Mr.. Haswell was formerly a
furniture dealer in Madison, Wis.
Great strides have been made 10 the
district in the past few years, and all
the residents of the beautiful reg on,
where one has view of the valley OF
the Little White Salmon and the Co.
lumbia gorge, are making additional
clearings.
1t is especially beautiful in the west
Underwood country at the present
time. The vine maple and dogwoodf
grow profusely there, and the hillsidef
are now afame with color. The dog
woods are as handsome as holly trees
their boughs laden with bright rec
berries.

ket men and inspected the extra fancy
fruits. His company uses great
many extra fancy Hood River apples,
and he was looking after apples when
here.
Last year the big ste&anship Cleve.

Palmer Invents Grading Machine

w. G. Palmer, who several years ago
invented the Palmer fruit picking
bucket. has been busy the past summer
on a grading machine. which he has
just completed. One of the machines
has been tried out on the Keating
ranch, and those who have seen it in
operation declare it works to perfec-
tion. An endless belQ carries the ap-
pies down horizontal bars, which grad
ualIy spread apart. and the fruit is
alIowed to drop into bins at the sides.
Mr.. palmer's machine is one of the
simplest power graders yet put on the
market and can be constructed for the
sum of 500.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

While his brother down in the Will
lamette valley is planning on deserting
his family and fleeing to the hills, the
China pheasant cock of the Hood River
valley is strutting through the orchards

come very domestic here, and may we
seen on the places of the orchardists
almost as tame as ordinary barnyard
fowls. The growers of apples consider
the birds destroyers of pests on fruit
trees and efforts will be made to have
them protected indefinitely. Last fall
many of the valley citizens had Their
land declared state game preserves and
freed scores of the pheasants here.
However, local hunters are having ex-

are young, and the past season has ap-
parently heen good for Matching and

Double CAPACITY

AS a result Of the increased acreage
IN the northwest and consequent ex-
tension Of its railway lines to tap

Great Northern road will soon begin
the work Of practically doubling its

This has been the subject for some
time but nothing of a concrete nature
was given out until yesterday. One
OF the leading members Of the Duluth
board of trade, who is closely con.
nected with the Great Northern in
t%erests. admitted that plans are being
formulated for a great extension OF
the roads elevator capacity at Duluth.
me road now has elevator capacity
amounting to between 6,500,000 and
100000 bushels. but the past season
a shown that with the great amount
of new land being farmer in the north

come the habit, there is not nearly
enough elevator capacity at the head

ELK PRESERVE
$500 81
BEING b: [ PLANNED
Members of the B. P. o. E,
in the United States Seek
Protection of Animal.

Efforts will be made by Elks ali
over the country toward securing ar
elk preserve near the borders of the
Yellowstone National park, where
these valuable animals will have a
refuge from the guns of hunters.
Grand Forks Elks will be asked tc
cooperate with the originators of the
movement at the big national gather.
ing Of Elks in Rochester. N. Y, next
o. e.
Options have been secured on be
tween 5000 and 5000 acres Of land
north Of Yellowstone park. The esti-
mated cost. including water rights,
fencing, building a home and Incl.
dentals. is $4,000.
There can be no two opinions in
regard to the necessity of such a pre-
serve IL these mighty animals are to
be prevented from becoming extinct.
Their two great enemies are starva-
ton and the guns Of unsportsmanlike
hunters. While the elk are Of course
protected within the limits OF the Vel
lowstone park during the winter
months hunger drives them beyond its
borders in bands Of fifties and hun
dreds. On the day before the opening
Of the season when it is lawful to xiii
elk in Montana scores Of hunters lie
in wait nea the borders of the park.
The animals fall by the dozens like
so many cows before a butcher. Elk
meat is shipped into Montana towns
literally by the ton, 1t is said.
Scarcity Of fodder Is another dew
astating agent. 1t is claimed that the
young bulls succumb to starvation
more quickly than the cows and the
herds are rapidly decimated.
The proposed preserve Is ideally To-
Gated for the purpose intended. Ii
touches the park boundary on one
side. 1t contains a river. mountains,
many sheltered dells and hooks and
food is abundant. The Livingston Elks
are enthusiastic. They plan to drive
a large number of elk into the pre-
serve during the winter months. There
they would be protected from starva-
ton and find sanctuary from the hun
ters and %poachers.
Another advantage Of the proposed
preserve would be that tourists in the
Yellowstone would be certain of See
ing hundreds Of elk at any time, al
the preserve parallels the railroad for
several miles.
