DEE ORCHARD TRACT

John X. Edgar. formerly business
man of Manila, p. l., who came here
several weeks ago. last week purchased
from Adolph Riniker l0acre tract of
orchard land in the Dee district. This
sale is result of Mr.. Edgar having
read of Hood River in the Glacier, and
of the visit last winter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. M. Hill and Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID.
Moe TO Manila, while members OF the
party of Shriners were touring the ORR
ent on board the S. s. Minnesota.
For a number of years G. b. Comp
ton, newspaper man of Manila, has
been taking the Glacier. 1t has been
read by the American colony in the far
eastern city, and through its columns
Hood River and its apple industry have
become we'll known.
Mr.. Edgar was accompanied to Hood
River by peder Peterson, a retired sol
der, who has been living in Manila,
and Thornton @. Morrow, civil engin-
eer. Mr.. Edgar, himself. was reared
in Missouri. Mr.. Morrow, a native OF
Virginia, had resided in the Islands but
a short time. He plans on buying
property here and locating in the val
ley. MIR. Peterson will make his home
for the time being with Mr.. Edgar. .
Mr.. Edgar's family, wife and two
charming little daughters, remain in

remark in a spirit Of levity; for ne Is

members the things of days gone by,

teTest IN modern day affairs, and con
verses with pleasure on topics OF the
day. His mind is keen, and he plays
cards better than any other person IN
Mosier, watching the game with con-
centration and comprehension.
Mr.. McGregor declares that ne mas
never had a days illness in all OF his
90 wears. "Never have ! been so IN
fortunate as to have to call in physi-
eian. No dentist has ever worked on

When he was so years old Mr.. Nc
Gregor, unaided, dug a 50-foot tunnel
into the side of a hill near his sons
home and installed system to furnish
the home with water.
As his name indicates, Mr.. McGregor
is of Scotch descent. However he was
born in England and spent his young
manhood days in Newcastle where he
learned the mining business. A hall
century ago he came to Nova Scotia,
where for many years he was superln-
tendent of large mine. Later he re-
moved to British Columbia.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. McGregor
went to California, where he made his
home for short time before he came
to Mosier.
"The town Of Mosier scarcely exist
ed then" be says. There was one
little business building down below the
railroad"
Every one in Mosier knows the aged
man, who walks with vigorous tread
daily through the streets of the town,
and all hope to see him celebrate many
more happy birthdays after that OF
next November.

APPLE NOTES

.i-a4-i-s-Fs-s-i-is-il'l-s.t-si-..'!..!.'f'l.l.s
Some of the northwestern apple dis
tricts have made their annual mistake
of over estimating crops. Recently
dispatches from Wenatchee reported
that an enormous crop was indicated.
Later this estimate was cut in two,
and now il appears that the crop of
northwestern apples will be far smaller
than last season.
Banks of Wenatchee and Spokane
have in each city offered to finance
growers to the extent of $500, 600 ad-
Vances.
A report from the Medford country
follows:
Conditions IN Rogue River are very
favorable. While low temperatures
prevailed for several nights, smudging
was successful in saving the bloom.
Pears are heavily set all over the
valley, although there is a heavy she'd
ding of blossoms on the Howells. APP
Piles are rather light. Only a so per
cent crop Of Newtowns is expected.

chicken by the frog.
Mr.. Rhodes says Sunday he was at

Sixteenth street between ThirtyThird

he arrived Mrs. Cawthorn has a small
chicken in her hand, about two weeks

Mr.. Rhodes said that he dragged a
