The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-11-30

the animal was seen tney C0ulO see
something in the brush bat not distinct
ly enough to tell what it was. The
hunters hesitated to tackle a cougar
with a shotgun loaded for birds. VIM.
Kennedy happened along while they
we're holding council of war and ad-
vised Parsons to shoot and take the
chances. He fired at the object and
there was great commotion in the brush.
He fired the other barrel at the first OPP
portnnity and then discovered that he
had killed a big fat porcupine, weighing
about so pounds. Mart Rand's cougar
is still at large.
The pamphlet of information about
Hood River, gotten out by the Glacier
and f. r. Bradley, last summer, was by
far the best advertisement Hood River
ever received. There is still large
number of these pamphlets on hand that
should be distributed. The books are
for sale by E. R. Bradley, the printer,
at 10 cents apiece. Mr.. Bradley often
has calls from distance for the book,
and often the person ordering supposes
that he has them for free distribution.
Mr.. Bradley has been supplying the
book in such cases, but it is not right
that he should do so. A fund should be
raised by some means that would pay
for the books and for their distribution.
The Davenport Bros. are prepared to
build a lateral ditch to supply Belmont
with plenty Of water for irrigating pur-
poses, provided satisfactory right of way
can be obtained. The ditch will run as
high as the Barrett school house, by John
A. Wilson's place and j. F. Armour's
house. 1t would seem that farmers
would be willing to grant right Of way
when their neighbors as well as them
selves would be benefited thereby. If this
lateral is built it will greatly benefit
farmers who cannot now get water from
the Hood River Supply Co. at the pres
ent time, as it will furnish parties below
who are now using their water.

in time to send the purchases to friends
at a distance for Christmas reminders.

and articles will please leave them at
