MOTORISTS CAMP
ON MOSIER HILL

While en- route to Hood River from
Prineville, J. II. Gray had tire trouble
and was forced to camp Saturday night
at the home of e. l.. Trout on the di-
vide separating the Hood River valley
from the Mosier hills.

the Hotel Oregon property, who will
remain here for about 10 days, land

we're accompanied by our daughter,
Mrs. +. A. Rowell. and grandchildren,
Ruth, Madge, Blanche and Lucille Row

ter comfortable sleep, we we're able
to get help and come on to Hood River

Mr.. Gray says he has never seen finer
crops than are evidenced in the country
around Madras, and in the Grass Valley
region. 'Th0se farmers, it seems to
me, could not want for anything bet

CANNERY NOT GET
TING ENOUGH FRUIT

On account of not getting enough
fruit, the plant of the Hood River Can
ming Co has not been able so far to
put in full time this year. The can
merry people inaugursted this year the
plan of purchasing berries. cherries
and other fruit direct from the grow
ers. They state, however, that the
management of the Apple Growers AS
sociaton has endesvored to have the
fruit pass through its channels before
delivery to the plant, and on this ac-
count the deliveries have been limited.
The cannery has been operated dur
ing the mornings, recently, and has
been turning out packs of excellent
quality fruit. Many growers have Wis
tied the plant recently and have been
pleased by the cleanliness and sanitary
conditions existing at the plant.
The proprietors of the institution
wish to extend a cordial invitation to
the people of Hood River, as we'll as
growers, to visit the plant. 'Just drop
in at any time we are operating, says
+. B. Cloud. land we will be glad to
show you around. "

BIG RED APPLE is
UNIQUE, SAYS BUTLER

'The Hood River exhibit at the Pan.
ama-Pacifc exposition is of different
type from anything else there" says
Leslie Butler, who has just returned
from visit at the fair. ''ln fact, it
is far superior to what | was expect
ing. basing my expectations on reports.
More people stop, look and talk about
the big red apple than at anything else
at the exposition.
"The fair is good one. believe
there is more to it than most people
will admit. The Canadian exhibit,
costing a million and quarter of dol
lars, is superb. The California dis
plays are the best shown. And the fair
seems to be getting better. They were
just opening the wonderful exhibits of
Italian art when | was there. And the
weather was becoming perfect. "
MIR. Butler was in San Francisco TO
attend the convention of group IL of
the Reserve Bank, as we'll as to see the
fair. The most of the delegates. he
says, were from California and Ore
gOn. The feeling that exists between
the bankers of the two states, especial
ly between Portland and San Francis
co, is very gratifying, says Mr.. Bnt.

mian Girl, and those who witnessed the
performance Of Mr.. Marquis as Gas
pard. the miser, in the Chimes Of Nor

home of Mrs. SchmeltZer other after
moons and evenings. Mr.. Epping is
making a tremendous effort to have the
production Of the Bohemian Girl up to

strangers from other towns.

MANGLED THE PROOFS.
Tolstoy Must Have Made His Printers
Life a Burden.

. s'.s..sssssss&

When "Anna Karenina" began to
come out il the monthly Russki WEST
nix, writes Count Ilya Tolstoy in his
"Reminiscences Of TolstOy," long gal
ley proofs were posted to my father
and he looked them through and cor.
rected them.
At first lie would mark the margins
with the ordinary typographical signs,
letters omitted, marks of punctuation
and so on; then he would change in
dividual words, and then whole SEN
tences. That would be followed by
erasures and additions until the proof
sheets became a mass Of patches that
was perfectly black in places. 1t was
impossible to send them back as they
stood, because no one except my mother
could make head or tail Of the tangle
Of signs, transpositions and erasures.
My mother would sit up all night copy.
ing the whole thing out afresh.
In the morning the pages lay on her
table, neatly piled together, and cover.
ed with her line. clear handwriting.
Everything would be ready so that
when LyOyotchka came down he could
send the proof sheets off by post. My
father would carry them to his study
to have "oue last look" and by even
ing the sheets were all written over
and messed up once more.
"Sonya, my dear am very sorry, but
I've spoilt all your work again;
promise | won't do it any more" he
would say, showius her the passages
he had linked over, with a guilty air.
"We'll send them Off tomorrow with
out fail" But that tomorrow was
often put off for weeks, or even for
months.
There's just one bit want to look
through again." my father would say,
but he would get carried away and re-
write 1t all afresh. There were even
occasions when, after he had posted
the proofs. my father corrected them
by telegraph the next day.
Several times, In consequence OF
these corrections, the printing of the
novel in the RussH Vyestnlk was inter
rupted, and sometimes it did not come
out for months together

MONEY IN GOOD TASTE.
A Woman Who Capitalized Her Sense
Of the Beautiful.

A woman's good taste is a part Of her
stock In trade and could be made much
more widely remunerative than 1t
now is.
One would naturally suppose that the
success of an auction depended mainly
upon the wit and skill Of the auction
eer. A prominent auction house in New
York city has discovered that wom-
ans good taste In showing up things
artiStically, or in their true relations,
or with suggested use, is quite as val
liable an asset as voluble suctioneer.
For example, in a sale OF oriental
goods were some handsome old bird
cages, wonderful creations in tortoise
shell. black lacquer, ivory and jade.
There were seven cages in all, and so
spirited was the bidding that they
brought prices ranging from $4fO TO
500.
The thing that did it was not any,
thing said or done by the auctfoneer,
but the fact that In anticipation of the
sale there had been put in each cage a
pair of singing and twittering birds ex-
actly suited In color to the cages in
which they were placed. Cages and
birds made symphony Of color With
out the birds In them the cages would
not have brought half the price. Who
but a woman would have thought Of IL?
The same auction house has found
that a suitable and artistic arrange
ment OF goods, all under the deft hand
Of its woman specialist, adds many
dollars 10 the saleS.-Ieslieis.

ROSE SHOW BRINGS
OUT FINE FLOWERS

The exhibits at the first Hood River
rose show at the Unitarian church Sat
urday were by no means limited to the
city flower fanciers. Handsome bou-
quets of the queen of flowers were
brought in from all parts of the valley,
and it is predicted, judging from the
interest the event aroused, that the
rose show will become a permanent
feature of Hood River life.
The entire floor space of the Unitar-
ian church was set with tables, and
these were banked with the beautiful
| flowers. But one regret has been eX-
pressed concerning the show. The
judges say that they reached the roses
so late that some of the prettiest speci-
mems had withered perceptibly and ac-
cordingly they were unable to make as
careful selections as earlier in the day.
The prize for hte best collection went
to Mrs. Robert G. Dieck, of Topside
ranch. The Dieck exhibit contained
exquisite Irish .roses and other rare
specimens never seen here before.
Blue ribbons for individual bouquets
were awarded as follows: Mrs. j. W.
Armstrong, Grant; Mrs. Louis resse,
Madame Abel Chatenay; Fletcher &
Fletcher, of the Oakdale greenhouses,
Frau Druski; and Mrs. M. Dragseth,
| kaiserine Augusta Victoria.
While the roses we're not arranged
for competition. one of the most beau
tiful displays made was composed of a
mass of Marechal Neis from the gar
dens of W. f. Laraway.
The roses from the Laraway garden
we're as follows: Mad. Abel de Chat
enay, Folkstone, Ely Ruthson, Mad.
Waddell. Lady Hillingdon, MARCEL
Neil, Lady Battersea, Maman Cochet,
Victoria Kaiserine, Frau Karl Drusch-
XII, Mad. Francisco Kruger. Belle Sic
brecht. Killarney. Mad. Testout, Vir-
ginia Coke, Paul Neyron, Helen Gould,
Lyon, Mad. Soupert and Winnie Davis
The latter is an American pedigreed
iose, raised by cross between the ia
nous kaiserine Augusta Victoria and
Belle Siebrecht. Color. rich apricot
pink shaded to flesh at base of petals.
Mrs. w. F. Cooper exhibited some
handsome Marecha Neis.
One of the most beautiful sights at
the show was the supefb bouquet of
peonies sent in by Mrs. E. II. Shepard.
More than 100 peony plants are now
blooming at the Shepard home on
Brookside Drive. Mrs. Shepard invites
all interested to visit the place Sunday
and see the handsome. flowers.

Never has Hood River had so many
unemployed as this year. when scores oi
men have tramped in over the ties ano
have ridden is on the rods and bump
ers Of freight trains. Many of them
have been worthy men seeking WORK.
while many others have been only too
clad that job was not awaiting them'
And by the scores the men have ap'
plied at backdoors for food. Far be II
for US to protest against tho act OF
kind hearted housewife in feeding q
worthy man, and the ,selfsame motive
causes her to feed the wretch tha'
would rob her home, if her back were
turned. If it were only possible TO as
criminate between the good and the
bad on the instant. no meals to tramps
would be wasted. But unfortunately
many of the unemployed men OF th'
country at the present time, while they
are the loudest to cry for work, are the
first to run from il when it is offered
and they are the men who mark the
homes of good women and abuse the
kindness that is shown them

SALES REPRESENT
ATIVES COOPERATE

and reprinted in the Hood River News.
stating that Yakima was selling Hood
River Strawberries, has been corrected
by II. NJ. Gilbert, of the firm Ritchie &

have emanated from erroneous coneep-

Davidson and Mr.. Gilbert, whereby the
representative of the selling associs-
tions in different fields coOpersted in
gathering information. The Ritchie &

HOOD RIVER FLORAL
SOCIETY PROPOSED

To promote the culture of flowers
around the Hood River valley homes,
and especially to create an interest in
more roses, a meeting will be held at
the library Saturday evening for the
purpose of organizing the Hood River
Floral society.
Those who are interested in this new
organization, propose to held at inter-
walls shows for the display of the exqui-
site blossoms that are produced in the
community. Everything possible will
be done to promote a renewed interest
in flower raising.

For the past several years Hood XIV
er, the home'of the unexcelled red ana
yellow apple, has given up its apple
show, formerly the main event OF the
year. This is not criterion of lack OF
interest in apples, for the culture OF
the king of fruits will always be pre-
dominant local industry. However
the announcement of possible stock
show here this fall is interesting news
We believe the apple growers will
profit by such an exhibit. 1t has been
found profitable not to have all baskets
containing apple eggs. More pure
bred swine and cattle will mean more
contented and prosperous farmers
