train for Portland.
Hon. Henry Heppner, of Heppner, is IL
town to-day.
Grover Cleveland is president of the
United States.
Mr.. j. Fl. Cradlebaugh, of the HOOD
River Glacier, is in the city.
The river was full of q iating ice this
morning, which was evidently from the
gorge at the rapids.

sold that part of his farm taken up under
the donation land law for $4,000.

Flags were flying to-day over public
buildings in honor of the inauguration of
President Cleveland. and there were few
Cleveland hats on the streets.

shows for itself. His photographs are all
first-class, and the prices charged are very
low.

winter very favorable for stock and grain,
and expect bountiful returns the coming
harvest.
Several explosions of anvils took place
IN the city this afternoon, we presume in
honor of the inauguration of Hon. Grover
Cleveland. Our Democratic proclivities
were never developed, and therefore we did
not rejoice.

foot in depth.

Hood River Glacier: Ed. Miller, met with
an accident "Wednesday night that came
near terminating fatally. He was working
in the planer, ON the night shift, and about
10 O'Clock, there being a temporary stop.
page, Ed. put on his overcoat. When the
machinery started again, he went to work
with his overcoat, a long canvas one, on.
The tail of the coat caught on set screw
ON the shaft of the driving wheel, and IN
about three seconds 1t gathered Ed. in,
tearing his clothes off and throwing him on
the main belt which carried him short
distance toward the engine room, throwing
him head foremost to the floor. He
received an ugly gash In the scalp which
bled freely. Dr. Brosius was called, and
dressed the wound, and few days will see
all damage repaired, but it was close call.
The story of "another good man gone
wrong" comes to US from Hood River
From an article in the Glacier we learn that
Rev Delos Howels, who has been preach
ing in that neighborhood, is doubly mar
ried, and both wives are living. MIR. How
ellis story is that he left wife and family
in Nebraska in 1886 and went to California,
where he heard that his wife had secured
divorce from him. Believing this story he
proposed marriage to his present wife.
Last fall he learned differently, and in jan
uary of this year he told the facts to his
wife, when she separated from tue man she
had lied husband. To her he had repre-
sented that his wife was dead, and knowl-
edge of the facts came to her like thunder
bolt. The innocent victims of this mans
are to be pitied. aud should receive
the sympathy OF all fair-mInded people; but
the perpetrator of the wrong should receive
the seyerest condemnation.
