Chris Dethman sold forty acres Of
nice land to Mr.. Cox, of Kansas, last
week. We did not learn the price.
There was big fire in the mountains
a few miles east of Mosier Wednesday
afternoon. 1t started from spark from
and engine.
w. r. Winans and others are building
bridge across the canyon mile and a
half this side of Union falls. 1t is badly
needed and will be properly appreciated.
Mr.. ]. H. Middleton and wife went to
Salem, last Sunday, on business and
pleasure bent. Some of the pleasure
consisted in walking up from bridge III
at midnight, Wednesday, that bridge, as
usual, being on fire and delaying the
train.
Mr.. 7. II. Button and A. J. and j. B.
Rand were at Vancouver last week re-
turning Saturday. The two former left
Thursday morning for Lost lake ana the
west branch Of Hood river to make
further and more careful examination OF
timber lands.
A. Disbrow, George Grow and A. B.
Jones Of Montana started yesterday for
Mt, Hood. From the glaciers they will
90 around the mountain to the Sandy,
and down the stream on prospecting
trip for a week or more, and will return
by the way of Lost lake.
Some time ago Ray q Rain, who are
engaged in fishing caught seal, which
soon became great pet, following their
boat wherever they went. Last Satur-
day they came here and the seal started
with them but failed to show up, either
getting lost or finding mate on the
trip.
MIS-. Anna Morton died at Portland
Saturday the 10Th inst. The body was
brought here for interment last Sunday,
and the funeral took place at the A.. 0.
U. w. cemetery. Mrs. Morton was the
wife Of j. w. Morton, and daughter Of
Mrs. C. H. Hanes. The funeral was
largely attended.
Mr.. A. H. Tieman informs us that
there will be picnic on the 4th at the
Stage Co.'s bridge. The drive from
here is beautiful one, just long enough
to make it enjoyable and short enough
to prevent one getting tired. An invita-
ton is extended to everybody, and a
pleasant time is assured.
The reason that the band did not meet
the Cascade club at the train last Sun
day, was that the body of Mrs. Anna
Morton came up ON the same train for
burial at this place. The band, under
tile circumstances, know that their Wis
itors, being made known of this fact, will
have no other fault to find.
We are informed that the O. r. & N.
employees at The Dalles have chartered
the steamer Baker and will hold a bas-
ket picnic here July 4th They will
bring brass an' string bands with them
and dancing will be one OF the features
Of the occasion. We are unable to learn
any of the particulars but will give them
next week.
Joe Wilson was up at the Glacier ho-
tel this week for the purpose of determ-
lining the fall in the line from the springs
TO the hotel. In the morning he dlscov-
cred deer tracks around the building,
the inquisitive animal perhaps taking
notice as to when it was time to leave to
avoid gracing the hotel larder. A brood
OF young grouse camped the same night
in the shelter Of the building.
Work on the Glacier hotel is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. The logs
are all in place and every available team
is engaged in hauling lumber from
fuckers mill, and shingles and brick
from here. If the building is not COM
pleted by July 1st it will be very nearly
SO, and it is thought the hotel will be
furnished and ready to receive guests by
the 10th at the very latest. The masons
are at work on the chimneys and the
roof is being put on as fast as the
shingles arrive.
James Turner, one of the drivers for
the Mt. Hood Stage Co., came down
from the glaciers Friday. About six
miles this side of the hotel, his horse
SHE'D and refused to go further. Turner
urged him with whip and spur but it
was no use In trying to discover the
cause of this seemingly obstreperous
conduct, he found that the horse's action
WAS JuSlludJt6s DIS " lew ydIuo III
front of him hidden by some bushes, a
big cinnamon bear was squatted on his
launches gnawing bone. The bear
refused to move, payingno attention to
Turner's yells, and he finally rode out
through the brush, and came on to town
leaving the big brown rascal in possess
sion of the road.
@. Fritz and f, Scarstedt, of McMinn-
Vile. and f. Crosby, of Forest Grove,
made trip to the gacies, Lost Lake |
and the country around the bead of |
the Sandy last week, under the guidance
OF John Diver. They went out lily pre-
pared for the trip and Jared pretty badly. |
Their provisions gave out and they had
nothing to eat for two days but photo

partment consisted OF the clothes they
