Little snow the last winter meant
more profits for the Androscoggin 6;
Kennebec Street Railway Company,

President VIM. Il. Shelton which was
made public Friday. For the re-
ports shows that the company earned
in 1921, above operating expenses,
1858, 649.5S. This is equivalent TO
$50 per cent. upon the book value of
the property, or 4.79 per cent. on q
sum equal to the known cash invest
ment plus the underlying funded debt
which was created before the record
Of that cash investment begins.
But President Shelton offers no
hope of lower car-fares for he goes
on to say: "Some agitators for re-
duced fares has appeared, and one
complaint was pending at the close

Hair Singed as Saco
Man Escapes from
His Burning Home

Saco, Me-, April 1.-Fire of undeter-
mined origin early Friday morning
destroyed the set Of buildings at Ross
road and the Portland road, owned
by Lewis Foss, a Grand Army vet
eran, and occupied by Mr.. Foss and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Mahoney. The
fire caused a loss of $4,000 on building
and contents. The insurance was
$500.
The fire caught in the barn and
swept through the wooden building
so quickly that it was impossible TO
save much OF the household goods.
Mr. Foss, awakened by the smell of
smoke, opened a door leading to the
shed, when he found no fire in the
maine house. and he was driven by n
sheet of flame. His eyebrows and
hair were singed. The firemen were
notified by telephone, and made a
record run to the scene over the
snow-covered roads.
The house Of Joseph DiPierro, near
by, was threatened. The firemen
think electric wires may have started
the fire in the Foss house.

The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1922-03-30
800 ACRES
in BERRIES
100000 CRATES YIELD FOR SEASON
Snow Still Covers Some Fields and Now
Indications Are For Late
Harvest

Leroy Childs estimates that the Hood
River strawberry acreage, now around
300 acres, will yield an approximate
100 900 crates the coming season.
While snow still covers many of the
berry tracts of Dee Flat and the
! Upper Valley. the blanket, Mr.. Childs
says, has caused no smothering out of
the plants. and on lower areas, where
| the snow has melted. Strawberries are
| showing a normal growth. Indeed,
MIR. Childs says, the snow blanket has
been beneficial, in that it has pre-
vented freezing and thawing process,
which often exposes roots of plants
and causes damage.
The valley berry tonnage last season
reached about IS, 900 crates, but the
yield was cut short as result of
heavy frost during the blossom period.
Indications now point to an unusually
late maturity of the crop here. Ripe
Strawberries appear six weeks after
the blooms. Continued cool weather
and the remaining accumulation of
snow on the higher attitudes is pre-
venting an early development of
plants. Carlot shipments of berries,
normally, are being made from June
to 5. IL the weather turns warm
and continues SO within the next two
weeks, growers say, the crop of this
season will probably be harvested at
the normal time.
Practically all Of the commercially
packed crop of Hood River Clark Seed
ling berries is shipped by the Apple
Growers Association to Rocky Noun
tain districts and points in the Da-
kotas- Last years crop brought
returns of 1929, 839. 1t is anticipated
that the market for this year will be
good.
