A TRIBUTE TO
HOOD RIVER
The Kansas City Packer, one of the
best market papers In the east, with
a veiy large oiioulatlon, published an
article on Hood River, written by its
staff conespondent, whloh Is repro
duced on the first page ot IbeUlaoler,
and also poys the following glowing
trioute to llood River editorially:
In this week's issue ot the Packer
appears an aitlcle teling of the re
markable suoess apple growers lu the
famous flood River valley in Oregon
have attained. More or less has been
published about the Hood River apple
from time to time, but it is safe to
sny that most apple growers In other
parts of the country who are not Inti
mately acquainted with conditions in
the llood River vulley have read these
articles with more or less suspicion as
to whether the statements weie facts
or hlshlv colored newspaper articles
iotenied to please rather than Inform
the peoplo who read them.
Last season when it was announced
that the flood River growers had sold
their apples at bs high as f'XOO per
butiel box, whilo growers in other
parts ot the country were glad to get
81 to 12 tier barrel for their best ap
dIiih. it was not surmising that the
teport from llood River was received
with discredit.
J he facts in the case, hnwcfrer, art
that the Hood River growers have
been so careful In developing their
orchards that Dr y deseive the highly
remunerative prices they get lor theii
fruit. In the matter of oaring tor
their orchards and picking and pack
ing the fruit nud iilso seouring a mar
ket, the growers have adopted meth
ods that are as far in advance of ordi
nary orchard conditions bs the price
they received is above I he average
pi ice for applos. For instance, the
statement iu tlio article iu (his week's
Pscker that In propaiing ground for
an orchard one of the leading growers
there goes over his ground 18 ditler
ent times with various implemeuts
shows bow thoroughly the llood River
growers go about their woik. The
matter of spraying and pruning his
been developed to an exact science by
the growers there and also by instruo
tors oonneoted witti the various ex
I eriment stations in that part of the
count y. From all aooouuts every
new theory advanced by horticultur
ists, no matter from what part of the
.ooiiniry, is thoroughly tested by the
llood River giowers with the result
that they finally get all of the best
and most up-to-date methods in use
instead of clinging to old fashioned
Ideas and lotting their orchards sutler
as a coneequeuoe.
An Instance is reported in which an
industrious Instructor in an expeil
ment station a few years ago advanced
a rather radical opinion regarding
spraying. At that time the theory
was laughed st by most growers, but
at the present time this man's theory
has been adopted by growers iu geuer
al in that Hurt of the country an I it
has helped them greatly in produoing
the very best fruit grown, ibis was
simply a case whore the growers were
willing to investigate a new theory,
although at the moment it was con
sidered ot little value.
While the llood River growers have
accomplished wonders n the matter
ef establishing and oailng for their
orchards, from a commercial stand
point their gieuteet suoess has teen
iu the naoking and marketing of their
fruit. Rules (or grading and packing
apples have been adopted and rigidly
enforced which have resulted In praoti
cully perfeot fruit beiug oll'ered to the
buyers. The giowers. in faot, have
adopted such stringent rules that real
ly uijre oare is taken In preparing ap
pies foi muiket in that section than
is commonly piaotioed by growers in
many otbei parts of the country when
selecting and preparing rruit lorexbl
bitiou at state tuirs or elsewheie.
Of com Be, there are conditions pre
vailing in the llood River valley
whloh are not general in other parts
ot the country and these have been
great aid to the fruit growers, but at
the same time these conditions are
not wholly responsible for the great
success ot the growers, i'he prices
the grower! teceive tor their fruits
and the increase in the value of their
lands, of course, pay them well for
the efforts they have put forth, but
that simply shows that fruit growlug
can be developed along soleutlUo and
practical lines so that it will become
a sure and safe touroe of inoome, in
stead of merely being a haphazard at
tempt to make big profits easily. It
will pay any grower of apples or other
fruits in auy part of the country to
read very carefully the artiole above
refened to In this Issue ot the Packer.

ous a matter as to neglect a bad cold or
cough, when lor a trilling amount you
can secure a bottle of "Hickory Bark
Cough Remedy," that Is guaranteed to
cur or money refunded. Price 25c, 60c

Government Engineers Take Elevations
Saturday party of government en
gineers reached Hood River after hav
ing spent tour months taking eleva
tioua in the Cascade forest reserve
and roads leading to the reserve.
Tbey were followed by a large party
who take up the other part of the
work In sketobing the topography ot
the country prepartory to making a
map showing the roads, trails, streams
and other data. The engineers in
formed the Glacier man that tnese
maps would be ready in a lew weeks,
and could be had of the department
at a nominal cost.
The party left Iioutdale in piu,
surveying the Hull Run district, lay
ing out new trans lor toe rangers uuu
making numerous observations. They
left Bull Run May 24, surveying the
reserve in that section and then con
tinued across the divide to Lost lake,
following the Lost Lake road which
was built by the rangers ana iioou
River people last year and this, tak
ing elevations from there to the Hood
River O, K. k N. depot.
The following are elevations taken
and established by benchmarks at vur
lous places: Lost lake, 3141 feet, ut
present stage of water; bridge at
Camp Overall, 1277.5 feet; Winau's
htdige over the East Fork ol Hood
River, 863.5 feet; liloucher station on
the Mt. Hood railroad, 801 feet;
Tuoket'a bridge, 426 feet; Advent
Christian churoh. 671 feet; lndiau
Creek bridge, 410 feet ;higbeht ground
in road near uiii s store, uoo ieei; u.
R. ft N. depot, 103 feet.
The haveled over 17 miles crossing
the divide from the Bull Run reserve
to Lost lake, the h shest point readi
ed being 4340 feet as tbey crossed the
divide. The rangers' tiails, however,
seek high ridges rather than the eas
iest grade, to enable tneni to gun a
good lookout over the country lu
watching for fires, xne roaa iruui
Lost lake to Hood River also goes ovei
llurnt mountain, reaubing a point
bout 3800 feet, whereas a water grade
up Laurel sreek could be made at a
gradual rise from the bridge over the
West Fork to the lane, uui luuie
would be some expensive rock outs to
be made.
The surveying party claim that a
wagon road can oe maae iu cuuuom
Lout lHke'.with the wBaon road iu the
Uull Run reserve at no greui. ukbl,
and nnlv about ten miles to grade,
and at no greater elevation than 4000
feet in crossing the divide. Ibis
would make the finest scenic loute
for nntnmnhllng. from Hood River to
Portland, iu the United States.

Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 17, 1907.
Mr. M. F. Emmett, Hood River, Ore.
A visit to my brother in the Clear
water country was the primary object
ot this trip. It ilso afforded an op
portunity to visit the famous Pieroe
City mining district, located but a
few miles away and which Is so well
known among mining men as espeoipl
iy rich in gold. Several Hood River
men as well as others can testify as to
the marvelous richness of the placer
ruiuos of this district over 40 years
ago.
Mining being one of the chief
sources ot our wealth as a nation, it
is an interesting subject to consider.
As a business, however, so many un
scrupulous men have found H possl
hie to deceivo end defraud an over
oieduloua ublio, anything in the
shape ot mining ia looked upon with
suspicion and distiust by nearly ail
conservative people. All the better if
it will lead to more carotul investlga
tion and the weeding out of fraudu
lent concerns. The recent exposures
ot such scbeme4 in some of I he lead
ing periodicals is light In line with
the reform SDirit ot the day.
On the other band sold as well as
coal and iron is needed in the world's
business and honest mining should be
encouraged. If the Ozark and Wild
Rose mines are good and nuaer prop-
management, we would like to
now it ; 11 not, mat snouia bibo ue
made known.
Mr. Abbott nd myself desired to
nipruve tbe opportunity 10 maae
preliminary Investigation as to , tbe
character and reputation of tbe men
n charge ot tbe business as well as of
the quality of the mines. Altbougb
ot a minimi expert, l nave aiuaiea a
good deal along tbia line and thii is
ot mv first visit tc a mine. rar. ac-
bott, however, has had years of exper
ience in mining and is familiar with
all tbe details of tbe work. Our first
step was to find as many disinterest
ed parties as possible who are ao
quaiuted with tbe mines and the men
n charge of tbe property, especially
the latter, as the safety of the stock
holders will depend mainly on me
management. We are prepared to say
that all tbe evidence we have been
able to gatbet is decidedly in favor,
not only of the mines, but also ot tbe
men in oharge. So far as we can die
cover, they are all oapaoie ana relia
ble an1 blgbiy respected uy an wno
know them in other words, honest,
straight-forward business men and
worthy of our confidence, 'beoon-
ee'jiieuces ot opinion seems to be that
all that is needed is money and time
to develop a very profitable mining
business, and that it will be bonostly
conducted by those in charge.
Since wtltlug the above we nave
visitod the Ozaik and Will Rose
mines and given them careful Inspec
tion. I'ew mining companies nave so
many advantages as those possessed
bv cnis company. On tbe board ot
directors aud a-uong tbe stockholders
aie no less than a dozen experienced
and reliable mining engineers, whose
reputation aa well as money Is staked
on the suooeas ot these mines. Ibeii
services aie also at the command of
the company, thus saving a large part
of tbe usual expense or surveying, en
glneering and assaying; there is every
evidence of the work being done in
the moit practical aud economical
manner, i'heee mines are unusually
accessible, heiua ooly 30 miles trom
railroad aud easily reached by good
roads. The tunneling is easily and
cheaply done, aud a laige part of tbe
ore is free milling, easily worked and
very prolltnble. Moreover on tne
property there is also good water
power and a vast amount ot fine Urn
her whloh is very essential in mining
operations.
(Jood buildings bave been erected, a
large amount of tunneling done, and
the mines are in aotual operation
Kv in with the crude methods former
ly employed the mines were dividend
paying propeitios, and with better
methods now introduced and improv
ed machinery installed, large results
may be looked for. i be ore la good,
some of it very rich In gold, operat
ing expenses small, and tbe manage'
ment safe, conservative and reliable.
In short, 1 believe these mines to be
even better than represented, and so
far as 1 can see possess all the ele
ments to bo desired in first class
mining enterprise.
