return in l2ls hours, half the distance
being made on bicycles. The view from
Mt. Defiance is grand, and a more salts
factory one of Hood River valley and the
surrounding country than is 10 be gained
from the top Of Mt. Hood, as all the To-
cal points are easily discernable. The
three snow peaks in Washington are in
plain view, and a portion Of the Column

Rev. ]. w. Jenkins lecture at the
Frankton school house last Saturday
night was deserving Of n far better au-
dience than that with which he was
greeted. He should have had full
house. His lecture is description OF
his trip in the tropics, and more partic
ularly in the island OF Jamaica, where
Rev. jenkins spent several years as Il
missionary for his church. The lecture
is illustrated by stereoptican views
made from photographs, many Of which
he took himself His description OF the
country and the manners and customs
OF the people is very interesting.
b. f. Fuller's hen house was raided
last Sunday night and several OF his best
laying hens and a fine rooster We're
taken. We didn't think there was any
one in the valley so hard up that he
need to steal chickens nor so mean as to
take from an old soldier who works hard
for all he gets. Mr. Fuller has good
breed of chickens and his hens averaged
him one dollar apiece since last October.
He says he will be prepared for the next
thief that comes prowling around his
hen house.
Howard Ackerman, in company with
Doug Langlle and two other gentlemen,
made the ascent Of Mt. Hood last Fri
day. The thOusand-fOot life line is bur
led under ten feet of snow, thus making
the ascent more difficult, and many
times it was necessary for the guide to
cut steps in the ice with his hatchet
rhe atmosphere being free from clouds
and smoke enabled the party to obtain
splendid view This was Doug's SD
trip to the top of Mt. Hood.
Game is plentiful and fishing in Hood
river is good, No use going to Sherman

| Flint Bradford, while having good run
of luck fishing below the railroad bridge
Sunday, got a shot at wild goose that
lit upon one OF the islands at the mouth
Of the river and brought down his game
Geo. Fox crossed the river and secured
the goose. Flint says he enjoyed his
dinner very much, and the goose was
| young and tender,
