their house was totally DESTROYED. ,
together with all the household
effects except what trinkets and
small articles of value Mrs. Brown
could hurriedly carry away. The
Doctor was away from home. and
his wife secured the fire insurance
policy Of $500 on their residence.
together with DIR. BIS medical
diplomas, ETC., and fed with the
affrighted populace to a place of
safety. The fire from the forest
came with a suddenness that was
appalling! But the Western peo-
pie are full of nerve, and DR.. b..
and wife have again located there,
where the Doctor has resumed his
profession and says he will soon be
on top again. DIR. b. is the youn-
gest son. of John j. Brown, Esq.

Three million three cent nickle

Letter from Mr.. II. 7. Davidson.
CHICAGO, Sept. !, 1898,


EDITOR GLACIER;
arrived here on "Wednesday, August
30th, feeling little the worse for the
long ride and loss of sleep, and have
not fallv recovered from either yet,
Perhaps this puders me rather inap-
pVciativc, but must say that the Ore.
gon fruit exhibit is not what II should
be. Some Of Bakers yellow Newtown
pippius are here yet, also Austen 5
"Chenango" apples, which are by far
the finest ON the ground.
DIR. Lewis is quite anxious TO have
fruit sent, and | know there is lots of
1t there worth sending, Many of the
exhibits from other states would be
sorry specimens in Hood River
Anything fine in the way of apples,
pears, pums, pruueS and grapes, also
vegetables, will 80 far towards improv-
ing the display: About Twenty-Five
specimens of each kind of fruit shows
up well.
\ great many have spoken to me re-
gardMg the superiority OF our straw.

Hood River will receive medal on its
strawberries.

the benefit, rs it will be displayed un-
der the growers name as marked when
received. Such opportunities for conf
pairing our fruits with the fruits of
other states are rare, and We must not
let this opportunity go by.
Ifsnippers will put the fruit in boxes
about the size of an ordinary trunk,
with partition in the middle and ropes
in the euds for handles, the agent will
be instructed to receive it us baggage
and check il without ticket if adj
dressed to j. Guy Lewis, Columbian
Exposition. Six boxes can be sent in
this way ut one time. Ii nnt packed
in large boxes, conslgn to him, and the
state will pay the expense. Have all
fruit wrapped in papers. Get after
Smith, Coon, Baker, Heald or anybody
that will do anything, Time is too
short now.

IT Is a Girl.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Mrs. Grover
Cleveland was safely delivered of lit.
tie daughter at the White House to-
day. The baby was born at exactly
high noon, just as the ball on the flag
staff of the state, war and navy build
ing, opposite the White House, dropped
from the top of the staff. From time
to time during the morning the pres
ident was quietly advised as to the
condition of affairs in the sick room,
and at exactly II o'clock DR.. Bryant
summoned him from the reception
room and made the important an
nouncement. The smile on the doc
tors face and reassuring pressure of the
hand told him that his wife had safely
passed the ordeal, and without pausing
Tie president asked:
lis it boy or girl?"
Something like shadow of disap-
pointment swept across Cleveland's
face as the physician told him the new
born babe was girl. The fact of the
birth was not made public until 2
o'clock. The news was bulletined at
the telegraph office, the capital, the de-
partments and prominent hotels, and
was almost the sole theme of conversa-
tion during the remainder Of the after
noon. Everywhere disappointment
was manifested that the baby was not
q boy. Before o'clock a stream of
messenger boys began carrying con-
kilograms to the White
House. This is the first time in the
history of the republic that the wall of
a newborn infant of president of the
United States has been heard within
the walls Of the White House.

A London dispatch says among the
subjects scheduled for consideration at
the international medical congress,
called to assemble in Rome next month,
but the postponement Of which to next
April has just been announced, was the
cure for consumption discovered by
DIR. Amick, of the United States, and
which is attracting great attention in
England and Continental countries.
A leading medical journal says, as a
result of the postponement of the con-
gress, party of prominent physicians
of England, France and Germany will
leave for the United States in Septem-
Der, and after brief visit to the worlds
fair, will proceed to Cincinnati to per-
sonally interview the discoverer. At a
meeting of the Paris clinic of physicians
last week one of the speakers coupled
Amick's name with Pasteur's as a ben
-efactor of the human race and paid a
high tribute to the medical profession
in the United States.

The Snake River Fruitgrowers
Association is now irrigating 60 acres
planted to fruit trees at Wawawai.
Most of it is bearing, and next year ex-
pect to irrigate as much more. This
irrigation of Snake river bar is accom-
plished through an enormous current
wheel" u feet in diameter and IA feet
long, which furnishes the motive
power for centrifugal pump, which,
being driven at an enormous capacity,
lifts a four-inch stream of water go feet
in the air to where it is drawn off in
bitches to aid in reclaiming sandbar
and the work of preparing for market
our climate and sunshine in the shape
of fruit juices. The work thus far has
proven eminently satisfactory. 1t is
modelled on the 'current wheel" now
in use on the Columbia river, which
raises an S-inch stream of water s. feet
to where 900 acres of land are being ir-
rigated. 1t is expected that next year
many of these irrigation plants will be
put in by Snake river fruitgrowers.
