she found secreted in every little nook,
oysters, pies, cakes and everything that
might add to an enjoyable feast, the
sequel of which was only reached on
Tuesday evening, when her neighbors
began to assemble, until at eight O'clock
| there were present Mr.. and Mrs. Ever
hart, Mr.. and Mrs. Donahue, Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ II. Nickesen, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
p. lsenberg, Mrs. NJ. B. Potter, Bertha
Prather, Grace Campbell, Ralph Savage,
JOS Frazier, jr, Rev. Henry X. Benson,
S. G. Sheriff., Web. Jones, added to the
family. Old and young alike entered
into the enjoyment OF plays such as
"shoot the rabbit, " "turn the old man
out, :" ETC., and by midnight lunch, time
had been reversed, and heads appar-
antly gray in the early evening had
become again but faxen locks OF youth
When the good nights" were said all
felt many years younger and more
closely bound to each other and their
worthy host and hostess.
The GLACIER is in receipt OF commu-
nication from New Whatcom, Wash,
signed Subscriber" in which the
writer takes the side of DR. Adams on
the saloon question. He thinks the doc
| tor is about right. He believes Watson
and Wyman to be G. A. r. men; says
about all the 6. A. r. men drink-don't t
know how to refuse; they are most of
| them sick, and whisky is their med
icine. subscriber" says town is not
complete without saloons; that the
money sent out of the valley in straw
| no fnr ~ fll-,
drain on the receipts for our berries.
With saloons in Hood River we could
patronize home industries and keep our
money at home-to buy more whisky
and beer. Subscriber" is all right
from his standpoint.
Lyman Smith is having a ditch dug to
tap the water in his well. He has 400
feet OF 8-inch tiling that he will lay in
the ditch and bring the water out on top
Of the ground, to be used for irrigating.
He will also ditch to bring the water
down to Parkhurst addition to Hood
River. Mr.. Smith is having eight acres
below his barn grubbed, which he will
| put into potatoes and corn in the spring,
and in another year he will seed it to
grass or clover. This piece OF ground
can be readily irrigated from his we l..
1t was rumored that Mr., Smith had sold
his land, but he says he knows nothing
about sale being made, He has ~
acres Of the choicest land in Hood River,
and 1t is for gale.
Hood river was at good logging stage
last Friday, and all the logs in the river,
estimated at 800 900 feet, came down
and were rounded up in the Hood River
Numbering Co.'s boom at the mouth OF
the river A big jam OF logs just above
the falls was opened up last week after
three days work by Capt. A. Winans'
force of loggers. With heavy team
and rope and pulleys the logs were
drawn out. That saw logs can be sue
cessfuly foated down Hood river was
fully demonstrated last Friday, when
the river was within two or three feet of
high water mark. Capt. Winans says
100, ,0G0,000 feet could have tioated down
on that day had the logs been in the
stream. All that's necessary is to get
the logs in the river, never mind the
weather, and the first freshet will do
the rest.
Constable Sappington Of Hillsboro

search Of Il man named Frank NJ Gard
ner, who was wanted in Washington
county and is charged with bigamy.
The services Of Deputy Sheriff Olingor
were enlisted and he started out to find
the muchly married man. 1t was learn
ed that Gardner had been employed in
the railroad camps below town but had
moved on. He was finally located at
Nicolai's mill, where Mr.. Olinger took
him in charge. Gardner had been liy-
ing at Hillsboro with wife No. 2, when
wife No ! put in an appearance and
caused his arrest.
Frank Davenport bought the 81 head
Of cattle and SIS tons Of hay of the Tie
man estate, paying S25.25 per head for
the cattle and So and 81 q ton for the
hay-making total OF $l,l50. Emory
| Davenport will take charge Of the stock
and feed it on the place this winter, and
all the loose cattle belonging to Daven-
port Bros. will be taken up to the ranch
and wintered. The price paid seems
high, but MIR, Davenport thinks he got
q bargain.
Z. L. Smith and N C. Evans have
been prospecting the east bank Of Hood
River for route for q wagon road lead
ing up the valley that will offer better
grade than those now in use. They
found that road could be made, com
mencing at the upper end of the new
grade at Reynolds place, and following
the river just above high-water mark.
A good road with an easy grade is much
desired by the growing community Of
the East SIDE,
Anticipating q good business when
our saloon is licensed and in full blast,
S. E. Bartmess is fitting room in the
undertaking department of his store for
morgue OF the 81 ,ll5 drunkards an
nually sent below, taking DR.. Adams
closest figures, it is estimated that one
third pass through the morgue on the
way. AS an undertaken who keeps
| abreast Of the times, we can recommend
Sam Bartness every time.
Uncle Oliver Bartmess and little lloyd
Cole, while walking along the railroad
track on Wednesday, gathered boquets
Of wild flowers and oats, the latter head
ed out, some ripe and in different stages
OF ripening. This happened in Hood
River, Jan. II, 1900, while on the same
day eompositors on the GLACIER were
setting type without fire in the room.
The blasts that are being set off by
the workmen along the railroad, echoing
and re-echoing from the mountain sides,
sound very much like cannonading and
remind old soldiers Of the days when,
peerly 40 years ago, that kind OF music
caused trouble in the ranks Of the yanks
or the johnny rebs.
The high water in Hood river last
week caused a washout or the east bank
under the railroad bridge. Mm. Aliens :
crew with the pile driver has since been
engaged in making the bridge secure by
| piling rocks between the bank and the
east pier.
