The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-09-21
The executive committee OF the fair

is considering the advisability of erect
ing temporary building in one of the
streets down town in which to hold the
fair. The old armory, besides being in
convenient, it is feared is not large
enough to accommodate all who may
desire to exhibit their fruit and vegc-
tables and other farm products this
year. The cost of putting up tenn
porary building will OF course be much |
greater than the cost OF renting the ar
mory, but it would be much more salts
factory in every way, and il placed con-
veniently the fair will be patronized by |
every one and the gate receipts will be |
larger. Third street, between Oak and
the state road, has been suggested as
suitable place. Although the cost OF a
temporary building will be considerable,
the lumber used in its construction need
not be damaged materially and will sell
again for fair price.
w. M. Stewart and DR.. Watt went
fishing up Hood river, Monday after
noon, but there is decided difference in
the story each tells. Stewart says that
during the four hours he was catching
his 20 fish, Watt would stand alongside,
casting his fly into the same pool, but
never bite did he get. DR.. Watt claims
this is only "fish" story, and that the
other version is this: When the two
reached Tucker bridge the doctor had
professional call to make on top the HILL
Going up he met an Indian with we'll
filled sack of fish, and on his return he
passed the same Indian, but with his
sack empty, Inquiring of the siwash
what had become of the fish, Watt was
informed that gentlemen fishing near
the bridge had bought them all.
w. H. Pugh has decided to move to
Clark county, Washington. He recent
ly visited sections of the Willamette val
ley, looking for location, but thinks he
has found desirable place at Proebstel,
in Clark county, and will remove there
with his family as soon as he can dispose
of his farming implements and house
hold goods, which are advertised in an
other column.
