whether there is any gold there TO,
him or not. Mr.. Hem is a vegetarian
and has abstained from the use OF meat
for the past two years. Three wears acc
ne went to Mccoy creek and played out
on the trip. This year he stood the trir
in fine shape, making 25 miles a day
over the mountains. He uses pea nut
butter as substitute for meat and is
confident now that a man can withstand
bard marching and labor better without
the use of meat.
Capt. A. S. Blowers and wife returned
Tuesday from St. Martins Springs. The
captain went there with case Of rheu-
matism and came home greatly i'm
proved. Mrs. Blowers had been troubl-
ed with eczema for years, and in doctor
ing for it had spent hundreds of dollars.
After nine days at the springs she came
home completely cured. The new hotel
is completed and occupied, and the ac-
commodations are much better than
earlier in the season. About 60 persons
from different parts Of the country are
there for health. Infammatory rheu-
matism and all kinds of skin diseases
are cured by bathing in the waters of
the spring. Good effects are obtained
by drinking the mineral water.
w. S. Gregory, formerly resident of
Hood River, who left here three months
ago for Portland, where he got married,
has been placed in rather disparaging
light by his wife. 1t seems that after
his marriage in Portland the couple
went to Tacoma and started restaurant.
The business not proving a success the
restaurant was closed. The wife went
to Portland, and rumor had it that she
ran off with a gambler But she re-
turned to Tacoma, denied the report,
claiming that her husband had mistreat-
ed her, and even said that her mother
had won his affections. Mr.. Greg
ory and wife are well known in Hood
River. No one here credits the story of
Gregory's wife. They only blame him
for marrying the girl.
w. Hutchinson and wife of Tacoma
are visiting f. w. Winans and family.
They brought their goods with them
from Dayton, Wash, and may conclude
to relocate in Hood River. Mr.. Hutch
inson was among the first to run meat
market in Hood River. He bought out
Capt. Coe, who was our first regular
meat merchant, and built the house now
owned and occupied as an office by
Judge Prather. Mrs. Hutchinson's
health has not been good of late, but
since her return to Hood River she is
much better.
The statement in the Glacier two
weeks ago that it was the breaking of
the steering gear which caued the wreck
Of the Billings was misleading. The in
came second hand and
was in itself wrong. Capt Coe says
it was the lack of proper steering gear
that caused the wreck. The heavy
steamer had insufficient hand wheel
steering apparatus, which required two
men to handle, and when the accident
happened one of the men came near be-
ing seriously injured by being thrown
under the wheel.
The dwelling house of Linnacus Wi
mans, in Winans' addition, took fire from
l defective terra Gotta fue, last Sunday,
md burned to the ground. The house
hold goods were about all saved except
The kitchen furniture. A cook stove that
cost $55 and $50 worth of canned fruit
we're lost. Forty or fifty dollars in
some jewelry, lot of tools, Fill
Dino relics and q sewing machine were
llso lost. The fine old oak shade trees
near the house were destroyed. The to-
al loss is about 5000, with no insurance.
Mrs. Shannon, who came here from
Portland three months ago with a sick
1oy, aged IA, and has been living in one
If Mr.. Watson's houses and later in
Winans addition, will have to
70 to Eastern Washington for his health
which has not improved here. Mrs.
Shannon has new tent, that was never
1ut up, which she desires to sell to help
.aise funds to care for her sick boy. The
ent is 14xl6, four-fOot walls, extra
leavy canvass. 1t cost $2l and she will
,ell it for $l4.

ID, was already broken out, and gave
lance and many were present, so that
I'll who attended were exposed.
