GlGcier: Work on the armory building is
progressing rapidly. The studding and
joists are in place and in another week the
rustic will be on and the roof well under
way. The stockholders are coming forward
cheerfully with their work and money, and
it is expected that INSIDE of six weeks the
building will be ready for d Company. 1t
will take longer than that of course to COM
plete it, but by that time it will be credit
to the town and will provide suitable and
commodious room for tariff or anti tariff de-
baters IN search of Office.
Hood River Glacier: The building for the
factory is nearly com eted. the boiler is in
place, and the machinery, planer sticker,
lathe, etc., is expected up any day. The
company was Incorporated for the purpose
of manufacturing all kinds of articles from
wood, but at first will put out a stock of
mouldings, window and door castings, etc.
1t is expected in time to manufacture furni-
ture, wagons and coffins. If the business
is pushed with the same energy that has
been displayed in putting mp the building it
will prove financial success from the start.

Monsoon slate quarry, had close call a few
days ago. His business is to swing the
boom of one of the derrIcks. In swinging
out over the pit, with chain attached. the
hook of the chain caught IN the wrist OF his
buckskin mitten, dragging him out over the
pit, where he hung by his mitten over
depth of 175 tset. He did not dare to
grasp anything with his other hand for fear
the bent iron should slip from the cham or
the mitten give way; SO he hung motioDless
till his fellow-workmen came to his rescue
and slowly and steadily swung the boom to
place OF safety.

the way home from Condor, the team driven
by Mrs. II. e. Stricklin ''ran off near the
Gross place, and ran into Parman's rig just
in front, smashing both buggies into spliL-
ters and scattering the occupants all over
that part of the country, more or less. Mrs.
Stricklin's mother and the little girl were in
the buggy at the time, and it seems almost
miraculous that all came out of the fracas
with only few bruises. Hugh was riding
horseback alongside and grabbed the horses
as they started to run, but was uot able to
prevent the smashup.

lery at Fort Candy, who has been here for
two weeks, recruiting men for the service,
has already found twelve. He considers
L ~, f<~r fl,a
fifty have applied, but few Of them are free
from some defects. A great mauy of those
who apply are perfect physically, but are
dlssipated, and this is just the class of men
that is not wanted. He finds that men, as
rule, do not like artillery as well as infan-
try service. They are probably afraid of
the work, which is much harder, except
when In the field. He may remain here
some time yet, as it all depends on the
number who make application.
