well adapted to fruit. We might well
look for some great development OF
marketing machinery that would dis
tribute the enormous quantities Of
fruit to the peoples Of the world, edu-
Gated to the use of the apple.
However, whatever happens IN the
marketing end-snd the things that do
happen will be along the march for
ward: we look for no backward step
we do not look for developments OF
new orchards. At least there will be
none in uuadapted districts. AS in the
past 10 years the main effort has been
expended by the grower in producing a
perfect fruit, in the next 10 years en-
ergy and gray matter will be devoted
to the study Of the selling end. While
we cannot expect anything to compare
favorably with the bonanza days OF
several years ago, the apple business
Of the Hood River valley is safe, and
is going to be better. 1t is the pioneer
tried district. We think that the man
who develops new orchard land here
will make no mistake. Indeed, an old
grover, man who has developed
much fruit land 10 the Hood River
district, was heard to remark the other
day that he regretted he was not a
young man.
'If were in the hey-day of youth, u"
he said, 81 would want nothing better
than to begin TO develop orchards right
here in the Hood River valley right
now"
But a note of warning must be
sounded to the Northwestern growers
of the banner fruit districts. The cry
is being heard that poor pack, and
fruit that has not had proper spraying,
is initiating against the whole industry
of the fruit region. We do not think
that the large shipping organizations
have coutenanced any deterioration in
pack. In fact, from observations Of To-
cal people, the pack Of this year has
been drawn more tightly than ever.
Still growers shipping independently
by shipping inferior fruit thOughtlessly
destroy the reputation of their COM
munity and kill the goose that lays the
golden egg.

CHRISTMAS LETTERS

Some one has said that letter writing
is lost art. In former times. people
were accustomed to send long commun-
ications containing sentiments of lit
erary merit. Today the short post card,
with its machine made inscription, may
answer the purpose. The writer accepts
the thoughts Of another and sends them
as his own sentiments. Indeed, the
words may have more beautiful ar
rangement and be more expressive than
the average writer is capable of form
ing for himself, and yet home folks
want the words and thoughts of the
writer, himself.
A letter home to mother from the
boy or girl far away will bring sweeter
thoughts than some priceless treasure
without the letter. The memories of
the writer will take him back to the
days of long ago, when little toddler
he never dreamed of wandering away
from the home nest, and the mother
will be touched by the same memories
as she reads.
No better Christmas present can be
suggested than a good long letter

AN APPLE PROPHECY

In passing we would like to comment
on the report made recently by the
State of Washington Department of
Agriculture as to the orchard acreage,
IN that state. The report appears in
another column of The Glacier. Ac.
cording to the statistics gathered, in
few years thousands of acres of
orchards will be in bearing in that
state. The far heralded success of the
earlier northwestern orchards and the
well advertised sums received from
their apple crops, turned the eyes of
the whole country to orcharding. Real
estate men, with visions of fat profits
and the results show that they must
have got the bacon got busy. And
much land, not in the least adapted to
apples, was planted thick with trees.
Such orchards may be found in Oregon
as we'll as in Washinton.
OF course, If this huge acreage comes
into bearing, the selling facilities of
the Northwest, unless they are much
broadened, will be overtaxed. And
yet, even though all this land were

JANUARY, 1862, COLD
EST MONTH ON RECORD

The cold weather of the past two
weeks is nothing compared to the se-
we're winter of 1862, when the Columbia
river remained frozen over from the
first of January until the middle of
March. This record cold weather is
recalled by d. A. Turner, one of the
earliest pioneers to the region. A rec
ord of the weather was kept by VIM.
Laughlin, of The Dalles, who had
spent former winter in Hood River
but who had removed to The Dalles,
settling on what is now a portion of
that city. The records of Mr.. Laugh
lin, who was one of the early county
judges of Wasco county, and whose
daughter, Elizabeth Laughlin Lord,
wrote an interesting volume on men,
eirs of the early days, shows that the
thermometer reached point as low as
"a degrees below zero twice during
January, 1862. On January 81 the snow
at The Dalles was Sd inches deep. E.
l.. Smith has one of the interesting
volumes of memoirs, from which the
above record was taken.
The ice began to break up in the Co.
lumbia about the middle of March, and
a jam was formed near Crates point.
1t was necessary to blow open the jam
with dynamite that river boats might
pass

MANY FOREST FIRES
DURING PAST YEAR

The season of 1914, according to the
officials of the forest service, carried
greater danger from fire to the national
forests than any year since the estau-
lishment of the forests. The long dry
season, sustained periods of high tenn
peratulc, recurring hard and steady
winds, and, in some places, unusually
hot, dry nights. rendered the forests
exceedingly infiammable. In fact, the
weather conditions were said to be
worse than in l9l0,w when the disastrous
Idaho fires occurred.
The total number of fires during the
season of 1914 which threatened the
national forests and had to be handled
by the protective organization of the
forest service were 6,ll2, or 1000
more than in 1910. OF this 6, ll2 fires,
81 per cent were extinguished before
they had covered 10 acres. The per
centage that burned over more than
10 acres was smaller than in any pre-
vious year. The most serious of these
fires occurred in western Montana,
northern Idaho, and the Pacific slope.
In the central and southern Rocky
mountains conditions were more nor
NAL, and only Is percent of the total
number of fires occurred in this region.
A preliminary estimate shows that the
total loss of merchantable timber will
probably not exceed S400, 900. In 1910
the corresponding estimate was nearly
Sl5, 900, 900, although later estimates
materially reduced this amount

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

The organization of fish and game
clubs similar to the Hood River Game
Protective Association will aid greatly
in the enforcement of state fish and
game laws. The following is taken
from the articles of incorporation of
the local association:
The object for which this corpora
tion is formed is the bringing together
in closer fellowship and association
those who delight in the invigorating
pastims afforded by the pursuit and
capture, though not in wantonness, of
game and fish in the forests and
streams, at all times having a proper
and normal conception of the pleasure
and use to man of all animate Great
ures; and who crafty such pleasures
and conserve such use in amenity to the
laws of the land, and at all times tenn
pered with just regard for the conser-
walton of all the inestimable beauties
of nature; to labor diligently in con-
junction with constituted authority to
increase the propagation of game and
fish in the forests and streams of the
county and to devise and suggest ways
and means for the better protection of
the same, by the adoption among other
things of game laws along the most
rational lines. accompanied by strict
enforcement OF the same; to study the
character and habits of fish and game,
that the same may be interpreted in
the furhterance Of the objects of the
association; to aid in the determination
of.beasts and birds of prey. the enemy
of game and fish, and with these OBJ
jects in view, always to aid to the ut
most in the conservation of and perpet-
uation of these resources as being be-
yond price and as heritage to future
generations.

tion are ss follows: D. Mcdonald,

choir which has been practicing for
some time, will render the classic
Mass in g by Loesch. This is one of
the finest masses ever sung by the
choir and everyone is welcomed to at
tend the celebration. The pastor will
deliver the sermon, choosing for his
text the words of the gospel: "Fear
not, flor behold bring you good tidings
of great joy. This day is born to you
Savior, who is Christ, the Lord, ia the
city of David" Luke 2:ll. During
the otferty beautiful "Ave Maria"

Regarding the customs, representing
the birth of the Savior, Father Burcb
ard Dietrich, pastor of the local church,
says:
"One of the special features in the
Christmas celebrations of TODAY is the
crib, group of figures representing
the birth of Christ in the stable of
Bethlehem. 1t may be found in almost
every Catholic church. st. Francis of
Assist, the founder of the Franciscan
Order, was the first one to have re.
course to this method of representing
the birth of the Savior. He erected
