NEWTONIA COMPANY
MAKES RECORD PACK

While it is still too early to make
final estimates of their total pack Of
the product, because of lack of data Of
acreage, the Newtonia Canning Co. is
busilY engaged in canning beans, and
the Gamers believe that hundreds of
cases will be packed before the season
ends. At a price of two cents per
pound, the Gamers are receiving daily
beans from many city vacant lot gar
dens. A fair proportion of the supply
is being furnished by children with
school gardens. Several valley ranch
ers have planted large tracts to beans,
and the main supply for the cannery
is being received from this source. "
The Hood River Valley will turn out
at least 100 per cent more canned
goods this season than on former
years. The Newtonia Co. has canned
fruit this season in the respective
quantities: Berries, 40 tons; Royal
Ann cherries, rs tons; black cherries,
IL tons. For the first time loganber-
ries were packed by local Gamers, the
concern putting up ], 1888 pounds. The
concerns weekly payroll during berry
season was over $500.
While they have not packed as large
a quantity of cherries and have not
entered the vegetable field, second
cannery of the city, The Hood River
Canning Co., has put up large packs Of
Strawberries.
With storage space in demand for
pears, the pack of which will begin
next week, the Newtonia Co. will
begin to remove this week to ware
houses of distributing centers $50 tons
of product already in tins, Heavy
cannings Of apples will also be made
this season by the Newtoma Co.

LISTER TELLS OF
IRRIGATION VALUE

The following letter, from the pen
of Rev. j. B. Lister, of the Valley
Christian church, appeared in the Ore
gonian last week:
The Willamette valley cry for rain is
heard through the press. 1t is an an
nual cry. 1t need not occur. The
growers of the Willamette valley
should visit some of the irrigated dist
ricts and learn how to have bumper
crop every year. ..-
All crops are good in the Hood River
valley, and are every year. We do not
need rain. We have great reservoir
that supplies moisture all the season.
Years ago farmers organized and Sc
cured funds an brought Hood river to
every inch of soil. They grow two
heavy crops of clover, and wheat and
oat hay is as abundant as ever grown
in the Willamette.
But the Willamette growers have a
much better opportunity than Hood
River growers. O They have better
soil. There is no better soil under the
sun than that in Willamette valley.
(2) They have the finest flow Of wa
ter. The Clackamas, Molalla, Butte,
Silver Creek, Pudding river, Calla-
pooya, Santiam, Mckenzie, East, Mid
die and Coast forks of Willamette on
tn east side of Willamette river. On
the west side are the Siuslaw, Long
Tom, Marys river, Lukiemute. YAM
hill and other streams.
If the growers along these large
streams, all as large or larger than
Hood river, would organize irrigation
companies they could grow two or
three times the crops they now do.
We can SOW clover here in the spring
and get hay the first year. and next
year two heavy crops. Just across the
road from me, as l write, man is
cutting clover from last springs SOW

RECORD HOT NIGHT
EXPERIENCED

Even pioneer residents of the valley
complain that last Thursday night was
the hottest they ever felt in Oregon.
The maximum temperature for Thurs
day, according to the government re-
cording thermometer of E. W. Birge,
was 80 degrees, and the minimum for
the night was 68. However, the %
degree fall was gradual and the mini
mum was not reached until we'll to-
ward morning. The night was one of
the few times in history when Hood
River people slept throughout the
night without the need of blanket.
A ray Of hope for the men fighting
the numerous forest fires came shortly
after midnight, when shower began.
The precipitation ended as suddenly as
it had begun, however. after the spat
tering of few large, nosiy drops.
While local fruit is very often dam.
aged by sunburn during hot weather of
August, the heavy pail of smoke that
has covered the valley has acted as a
protection from the sun.

KELLY BROS. PREPARE
FOR BEAN HARVEST

Kelly Bros. wish to announce that
they are preparing to take careSof the
bean harvest with the proper smachin-
cry for harvesting the crop. They
have a harvester which pulls the vines
and lays them in winrows, when the
field is ready for harvesting, and ar
rangements can be made to use this
machine. as far as ripening conditions
will permit. As harvesting is some
what of an experiment with one of
these harvesters here and the operat-
ors have no knowledge of costs, no
fixed charges can be announced. How
ever it seems certain that it will be
cheaper to use a harvester for any
amount of beans than to employ hand
labor.
Following up the harvesting Kelly
Bros. will operate a bean threshing
machine and expect to begin doing
some early work sthis week. Bean
raisers must have their crop in such
shape that the thresher can easily
make set up and do the work. No
set charges for this work can be an
nounced, as this is also an innovation
for the operators. Growers who wish
to take advantage of the harvester
and thresher should call upon Kelly
Bros. at once.

From the faraway annals of the War
Between the States comes the echo OF
gallant young Federal's ideals of a
soldiers duty; and nothing that has
been written these latter days is more
useful than ''The Soldiers Creed" as
found among the papers of Col. Minor
Milliken, who was killed at the head
of the First Ohio Cavalry during the
battle of Stone River, December 81,
1862. The New York Sun has un.
earthed Col. Milliken's notable analy.
sis of soldiers mind. 1t reads:
/ have enlisted in the service of nv
country for the term of three years,
and have sworn faithfully to discharge
my duty, uphold the Constitution and
obey the officers over me.
Let me see what motives | must
have had when | did this thing. II
was mot pleasant to leave my friends
and my home and, relinquishing my
liberty and pleasures, bind myself to
hardships and obedience for three
years by solemn oath. Why did l do
| did it because | love my country.

government to me and my fathers be.
fore me, owed it to her to defend
her from all harm; so when heard of
the insults offered her rose up as if
someone had struck my mother, and
as lover of my country agreed to
fight for her. And 80 drew up a set
of resolutions like this:
First-As my health and strength
had been devoted TO the government,
that wouldStake as good care of them
is possible; that would be cleanly in
all my habits. felt that to enlist for
the governmnt and then by careless
ness or drunkenness make myself unfit
for service would be too mean an act
for me. - @so~ ~ -
Second As the character have as.
sumed is noble one, will not dis
grace it by childish quarreling, by loud
and foolish talk, by profane swearing
and indecent language. nUk
Third-As my usefulness in great
measure depends on my discipline, ]
am determined to keep my arms in
good order, to keep my clothing mend
ed and brushed and to attend all drills
and do my best to master all my duties
as soldier and make myself perfectly
acquainted with all the exercises and
evolutions, and thus feel always ready
to fight. 1t seems to me stupid for q
man to apprentice himself to as serious
trade as war, and then try by lying
and deception to avoid learning any.
thing.
Scarcely a word in this admirable
human document is out of place. The
young soldier of the Nation can do nc
better than study and apply to his own
service of his country the principles
that took Col. Milliken from the ranks
to command of his regiment in two
years of war. Linked with a modicum
of soldiery capacity, practice of such
principles should bring recognition tc
any man in our citizen army.

ROAD TO GRAVEL PIT

Lewis Larson appeared before the
board Monday with the statement
that the county commissioners had
authorized him to gravel the road
from the gravel pits, mile and a
half southeast of town, to the city
limits, if the city commissioners
would stand half the expense.
1t was pointed out that all team
sters hauling gravel from the pit
had previously agreed to put in a
day hauling gravel for the road if
Mr.. Larson would furnish the gravel
This Mr.. Larson had agreed to but
the teamsters had been "too busy
to fulfill their part of the bargain.
Upon the suggestion of A. II
Brown, Mr.. Larson put the matter
entirely in the formers hands, Civ
ing him full authority to shut the
pits to teamsters until they had put
in their day graveling the road. Mr.
Brown stated that no more gravel
would be hauled from the pit until
this work had been done, this includ-
ing his own four teams.

the value the students and teachers
will gather from the use of the
books and reference works, but also
from the fact that the library will
contain rooms where lectures, recit-
ais and other community gatherings
may be held. 1t will doubtles also
furnish a place of meeting for the
Civic club, which organization, it is
understood, will be asked to do much
work in connection with the estab-
lishment Of the library here, the Sc

visory matters.
The library committee when ap-
pointed, will make arrangements
necessary to a site, plans for the

appropriation has been secured, will
sel.ct the books, the librarian and
attend to other matters in connec-
ton with the maintainence, manage
ment and conduct of the institution
The selection of first class board
is essential at this time for these
