HOOD KIVER GLACIER. THURSDAY, MARCH 14-, 1912
MANY HOMESEEKERS
BRING FAMILIES
Hood Kiver has had almont as many
newcomers this season as arrived here
last year. It seems that the (greater
number of them had made plans as to
their settlement before leaving their
old homes in the south and middle
west. Mr.ny have relatives and have
come w;th definite purposes as to em
ployment. J. II. Kri'dricy. local agent
of the O.-W. R. & N., Mates that fam
ilies have arrived here irom Pennsyl
vania, Tennessee, Iowa, Arkansas and
other states of the middle west.
The colonist movement this year all
through the Northwest is noticeable
fur the lack of unmarried men, who
have predominated in numbers on pre
vious years. The Oregonian says:
"Included in the arrivals Friday
were several entire families who have
deserted their former homes in the
east in the hope of finding improved
conditions in Oregon. Several women
at both the Union station and the
North Bank station carried babies in
their arrrs. The number of children
among the arivals indicates the move
ment of many families. Inquiry
among heads of these families proves
they are coming with the intention of
seeking land tributary to Portland.
Home hi ve capital to invest a.id others
are Becking farms that they may rent
with the option of buying.
"The usual number of professional
men and meehiMiics is included. On
one car that arrived over the North
Hank road Friday were three dentists,
graduutes from a school in Michigan,
who ant to locate in the new towns
of central Oregon.
"In former colonist seasons the num
ber of unmarried men almost formed a
majority of the entire movement.
They were typical of the class that
comes to look for work. This year the
great majority is formed by heads of
families. A great ninny are coming
to find the future home for their wives
and children. After they have found
them they will send fur the mother
and babes that all may live together
under Oregon's favorable surroundings.
"The movement this year is not as
heavy as it was last spring, but inas
much hs the season contiues 15 days
lunger, the aggregate influx may be
greater."
Now is the time to buy cheap slab
wood. A. C. Idts, phone .'110. X.

MOSIER A FAVORED REGION FOR
GROWTH OF WONDERFUL APPLES
Story of Prosperous District That Has Attiacted Widespread Attention by Its Unusual Location, Fine Soil,
Heautiful Climate and Happy People. Mr. Bennett's Visit.
From 1'orllnml OreRdninn. Ftb. 25th, l!12.1
II Y ADIilNON HKNNKTT.
Mosier is not a large place, but just
why it does not show on the census of
1112 is past limbing out, for lots of
places with loss inhabitants are enu
merated thereon. There are on the
published reports more than a dozen
places with less than 100 people, one of
them, Hutteville, in Maiion County,
with only 4lJ. And assuredly there are
200 or 300 inhabitants in Mosier, and
fully 2000 in what we may call the
Mosier district.
And it may be well to explain what
territory is comprised in this district.
Mosier is about six miles east of Hood
Kiver and lti miles west of The Dalles,
the town having a most beautiful and
attractive site on the Columbia River,
and the 0. W. R. & N. lines puss
through the town, there being a beau
tiful and cuminodious depot, as well as
large switches and sidetracts.
(Suing from the west on the river or
railway you pass by a range, of almost
impassable hills a mile or so west of
the town, and there is a similar range
about the same distance to the east.
These hills diverge considerably as
they lead to the south and finally con
nect with the mountains at the foot if
Mount Hood, and the territory between
these ranges comprises the Mosier din-
trict. It is cut oil' from east and west
bv these hilb, from the north by the
Columbia and from the south by Mount
Hood.
Town's Location Strategic.
1 ho town of mosier thus occupies a
strategic location, as there is never
likely to be another town on the river
open to the territory to the south, for
the further reason that the outlet to
transportation is down the little Moaier
Creek valley, which is immediately
west of tlio townsite.
1 did not, however, come here to tell
about Musier, but about the Mosier
territory, I will, further on, say
few words about the town. Hut if it
ever gets to a place of importance it
will do so through the settlement and
cultivation of the contiguous und trib
utary lands to the south.
Speaking of the district in anotlie
way, 1 may say that it lies almost i
the heart of the best fruit lands in the
West, for just across the Columbia lies
the White Salmon district, and it is
not probable- that the people of
Hood River or White Salmon will
deny the fact that their fiuit pro
ducts are as fine as can be produced
any where. And in doing this they
praise the territory of Mosier, win
they surround on three sides.
Hut Mosier does not wish to shine bv
n refracted light; docs not base it:
claims on what the neighbors do, but
on the real merits of its own lands
The people make their claims, and giv
reasons for their faith on what thev
have already demonstrated. They do
not say they can produce as good
apples as tiny other district, but show
you the apples and tell you that they
are the finest grown in the world.
That is in some respects. In appear
ance, coloring and flavor they seem
fully to bear up this claim. Hut they
go a step beyond and say that for
keeping qualities the Mosier apples are
the best in the world.
First Trees Still Bearing.
Let us go back a few years, many
years, and start in witn the Mosier
country. Co back to 18t0, when the
Mosier family settled just back of the
town and took up land. An orchard
was soon planted, and some of those
trees are still bearing at least one of
the apple and one of the cherry trees
are still doing business with a good
crop almost every year.
One of the sons of this first family,
Jefferson (he is always called "Jeff,"
but 1 take it for granted his name
really is Jefferson), Jefferson Mosier
was born there soon after his parents
located, and he has been a resident of
the place ever since. And 1 want to
say that "Jeff" is a line specimen of a
native son.
Another person has had a great deal
to do with the Mosier district, and that
personage is A. P. Hateham, one of
the most widely-known and most intel
ligent of the fruit growers of the state,
now occupying the important position
of president of the State Horticultural
Society. His election to this important
post gives the assurance that he is a
man of worth and ideas.
The Mosier Fruitgrowers' Union is
one of the best in the country. They
have some 100 members, virtually
every grower belonging, and their pack
is recognized as the very best that is
sent from any district in the country.
I said that the Mosier district has a
population of something like 2000 peo
ple, and almost all of those living out
of the town, as we I as many of the
town residents, are in the orchard bus
iness, Many of them, the large major
ity of them, have as yet no trees in
earing : many or them are just pre
paring their land for setting to trees.
So the output has thus far never ex
ceeded 100 cars of marketable fruit a
year. Hut so well has their union con
ducted its atlairs, ho skillfully have
they packed their product, that already
they nave buyers awaiting to contract
their pack for the coming season. Last
I' all the entire Mosier pack of New-
towns, Spit.enhergs and Ortleys was
mrchased before the trim was picked
by Steinhardt & Kelly, of New York,
firm which caters to the best trade
in this country and Eurupe.
High Trices raid.
And the prices received by the Mo
sier growers'were as high as were paid
to any others in the country, lo show
how the Mosier union succeeded in
maintaining their reputation last Fall
it may be well to cite some of the cor
respondence between the buyers and
the union. On November 2 last, they
telegraphed as follows. "Of course
you know Hood River is shipping very
heavily now, and we must say the fruit
is the best we have ever seen. We
hope the same will be the case as far
as Mosier is concerned, as we paid you
as much as wo paid Hood Kiver." On
November 18, after the receipt of the
first Mosier car, Steinhardt & Kelly
telegraphed us follows: "Your first
car of Newtowns und Spit.enhergs was
received and offered by us today. It
was about the finest car of fruit that
has come to us out of the West this
year. We have received no car of fruit
as yet this year of as good quality or
as well packed as this first car of
yours. "
All the other cars were equally good
means to get hold of small tracts at
merely nominal cost and carve out
splendid homes. There is a ready
market for anything one can raise und
the prices are good. The most of the
newcomers are peopie of means who
are going into the orchard business.
Many of these are building fine homes
and will have ideal places. So there
is a constant demand for intelligent
anil industrious men at good wages.
The climatic conditions of the Mosier
district, coupled with the splendid scen
ery, are certainly of the very finest.
There could be no finer locations for
lovely homes than on the lands to the
south. The view of the snow-covered
mountains and the grand Columbia
River Valley are not surpassed by any
other location. As many people of
large wealth have already located
there and made or begun to make their
improvements, it is assured that within
a few years there will be on the many
beauty spots to the south of the town
one of the finest neighborhoods in the
state.
If I were asked to picture the Mosier
country 10 or 20 years hence I would
say that the beautiful residences and
orchards would have a background of
hundreds of siiihII 20 und 40-acre places
where general farming und the produc
tion of small fruits anil vegetables and
of mi Ik and butter, poultry and eggs
would bo the main industries. And
such a combination would mean a very
wealthy and prosperous section. And
1 wish to repeat tliHt much of this
rough land, is now offered at very low
prices.
The town itself now has good stores.
a strong hank, a lumtier yard which is
doing a tine business, a fairly good
hotel, good churches, a capacious lodge
hall, one ot the best packing houses
owned by any fruit union, u drug store
a good newspaper, physicians, a den
tist, lawyer, real estate agents, res
taurant and barber shop. But in addi
tion to these non-cssentjals, as some
might say, they have one of the best
public schools to be found anywhere.
I he course of study runs up to the
tenth grade, and all the high school
grades will soon liet aught.
Class of Citizens (iood.
Taking it all in all, Mosier is a
mighty nice place to live in. No town
has a better class of citizens. There

and received almost equal praise, and are in the town and immediate vicinity
vne oujers unaiiy wrote in u,e union more man mi university graduates,
as follows: "The trade took to vour I Intelligence is the rule and not the
apples just as good as they did to the ! exception ; and this is more nearly true
very best which came out of the with relation to the women than to the
Northwest ; in fact we have managed
to establish demand lor Mosier second
to none, Hiid we are quite sure that in
years to come, when you will have a
large output, that you will have abso
lutely no dilliculty in disposing of the
same either through us or some other
concern which might handle your fruit.
With our very best regards to all the
members of your board of directors,
and also to all the glowers, whom we
deisre you to particularly thank in our
behalf."
Other Fruits Well Handled.
That is perhaps enough to say along
those lines, enough to prove that the
claims of the Mosier people hs to their
apples are well founded. Put the
Mosier of the future is not going to
depend on the apple alone. The output
of other fruits is large. This year it
is estimated there will be shipped from
tliHt place the following: 100 carloads
of apples. 2." of prunes, 10 of cherries,
five of peaches and 10 of pears, apri
cots and strawberries.
In all there are some 12,000 acres of
prime fruit land contiguous to Mosier,
and perhaps three times as much rough
land. All the uncleared land is cov
ered with scrub oak brush and is easily
denied. Innumerable springs are
scattered all along the hillsides. The
rainfall, rather the entile precipitation
of the country, is about 32 inches per
annum, or about the normal amount
neccsasry for the production of crops.
So no irrigation is practiced or neces
sary. There is no better land anywhere for
general farming, the growing of veg
etables and grains. T he lands are held
at low prices, the rough lands particu
larly, and there are innumerable op
portunities for persons with smul.

GIBSON SISTERS, The Milliners to Those Who Know
OREGON BOOSTERS AT
HONOLULU BANQUET
The week just past coull be known
very appropriately hs Oregon week in
Hawaiian history, says a dispatch from
Honolulu to the Oregonian dated Feb
ruary 29, fur the old state came to the
front in a way to pleasfi its friends ami
surprise its foes if it has any of the
latter. Certainly there are none in
these islands, but on the contrary, it
would seem as if Oregon is second to
Hawaii in the hearts of the people
here.
The most noteworthy of events of
recent months, if not of recent years,
was the big banquet of the Around-the-I'acitic
Society, held three nights ago
in the famous Alexander Young Hotel;
and one of the most notable occurences
during the evening was the formation
of the "Oregon Boosters and Aloha
Club" by the many sons of Oregon
present.
Aloha means welcome in the native
tongue, and the title of the club may,
therefore, be construed to mean that
while all the members have pledged
themselves to boost Oregon regardless
of whatever may happen, they are ever
ready to welcome state people to Hon
olulu, "show them a good time" and
give them such business or other infor
mation as they may seek.
Governor Frear, who was the presid
ing officer at the banquet, graciously
consented to become honorary presi
dent of the new organization, although
his excellency is a native of California.
Toward the close of the banquet,
when the club had been fully organ
ized, Leslie Butler, of Hood River,
was called upon for an address and
delivered one of the prettiest little
speeches of the entire evening. Mr.
Butler said that while he agreed with
all that had been said regarding the
beauties of Hawaii, and that while as
he looked about him he could see many
Oregonians who had "made good" in
this wonderful mid-seas territory, he
as sure that the old state was where
he wanted to live and die. Mr. Butler
then became the proverbial booster.
He told of the great forest of the great
Northwest and declared that the day
was not far distant when every stick
of good building material used in these
islands wtuld be brought from Port
land. Then he told of Oregon hops,
Oregon potatoes, Oregon apples, and
fruits and Oregon ranches. He wound
up his address with a toast to the
ladies of the state. The banquet,
which started as an Around-the-Pacifie
affair, became almost an Oregon dinner
before midnight was reached.

NEW EGG RECORD
Hood River, Ore., March 10.
To Editor of Glacier: Some time
ago 1 noticed several of our Hood
River chicken raisers giving their ex
perience and success with their chick
ens during January. Now, I think I
can beat any of them. I will leave it
to the editor and the readers of the
Glacier if 1 have not all of them
beaten. I will first give my cost of
feed and so on for January, and then
the returns. First, I have a good
warm chicken house and a good
scratching room. Before the snow
commenced 1 hauled sand and gravel,
put in a box of slacked lime, once or
twice a week put wheat and alfalfa
hay in the scratching room and kept
the house good and clean. I bought
two sacks of wheat at $2.20 per sack,
and $1 worth of meat. I also bought
100 pounds of this Walla Walla alfalfa
meal, consisting of alfalfa, sugar, and
tobacco. I also had considerable sun
flower seed that I raided and some
corn. 1 was very careful to keep
plenty of good fresh water and occa
sionally gave them some mlik, so you
see 1 kept the chickens well fed. 1
was careful to keep count of the egg
result so 1 did not let a day pass with
out looking after them. 1 had ti5
chickens, 57 laying hens, mostly Rhode
Island Reds. Here is the total amount
of eggs 1 got during January: One
egg. Can any one in the valley beat
this rceord? Now as I had 57 hens, I
got only one egg. I would like some
of the students in the Hood River High
School tell me what would be the av
erage per hen for the month.
Yours with many chickens,
Geo. T. I'rather.
UPPER VALLEY
"At a representative, nonpartisan
mass meeting of Upper Valley citizens
at I'arkdale Saturday," says W. 1.
Cornell, who was secretary of the
meeting, "John R. l'utnam received
the endorsement of the great majority
of the voters of the entire district."
After the meeting had been called to
order, C. E. Mcintosh elected chairman
and Mr. Cornell secretary, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved -That it is the se:se of this
meeting that out of the three candi
dates now running for county commis
sioner from the Upper Valley one can
didate be selected by the meeting as
the choice of the Upper Valley and
that the other candidates be requested
to withdraw.
George M. Wishart and W. H. Rho

of the Upper district. The ballot
taken gave, out of the 57 voters pres
ent, forty-five fur l'utnam, eight for

SKULL TOO THICK TO
ENTER OTHER WORLD
After three unsuccessful attempts tu
commit suicide by shooting himself in
the head one day last week, Richard
Jones, a 20-year-old negro boy, gave
up in disgust, tied up his head, and
returned to work, says a dispatch from
Harris Cove, Kentucky.
Jones said he wanted to know "what
it would feel like, in another world."
In this speculative mood he placed
the muzzle of a small-caliber revolver
to his forehead and pjlled the trigger.
The ball tore a furrow through his
scalp and glanced off his skull. He
shot himself on the side of the head
with a like result, and then placed the
muzzle against his cheek und fired.
The ball passed through both cheeks.
