The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-09-21

was M. Mohloe HFSI VlSlt TO his old
home since he left here 16 years ago.
and he finds remarkable changes in our
town and valley. Since leaving here
he has been engaged in the hardware
business, and has travelled over all Of
Washington, Idaho and British Colum-
bia, but says he never saw anywhere n
finer apple country than Hood River
valley. Mr.. Monroe declares YOU can
see more fruit in half hours walk here
than in a days drive in the Walla Walla
valley. In that section the orchards are
ruined with scale, and the fruit is far in
ferior to the Hood River product in size,
color and texture, Mr.. Monroe says he
may conclude to return to Hood River
with his family next spring and locate
here permanently.
Hood River is not advertised as corn
country, but corn is sometimes grown
here that will compare favorably with
the fields of this best of cereals in the
Mississippi valley. VIM. Penn Watson
brought to the Glacier office two stalks
that measured IL feet inches in length
Each stalk contains two large ears. The
seed was obtained of Maule seed house,
Philadelphia, and it is known as the
| Klondike. Mr.. Watson also has some
big squashes. A lady visitor to his
place, a few days ago, expressed de-
sire to take one of the squashes home
with her. "Why, certainly" said Mr..
Watson, "just pick one up and take it
with you" The lady found she couldn't
lift it from the ground.
The following Hood River party spent
a couple Of weeks picking hops near
Butteville: Nettie Kemp, Walter Hen
richs, Pearl Cox, Gladys Sears, Lenora
Henrichs, May Masiker, Ida Masiker,
Gopple Heinrich, Willie Kemp, Annie
Mohr, Louis Baldwin. The hopgrowers
paid pickers 40 cents box, and Louis
Baldwin says if pickers paid attention
to their work they could make SO day a
at this price. The pickers have little
idea of getting rich at their work, and
are only out for general good time.
The fishing records have all gone
broke. VIM Stewart in four hours fish.
ing at fuckers bridge, Monday after
noon, hooked 20 salmon trout, the aggre.
gate weight of which was As pounds
This is at an average of fish every
twelve minutes, and it takes ten minutes
to land salmon trout. Mr.. Stewart
says he quit in disgust when he pulled
out salmon, or he would have beer
fishing yet. The catch was made witt
bare fy-hook, and is what you woul(
call genuine sport.
The women who removed their hats q
the entertainment in the M. E. churcl
last Friday night were conspicuous b.
their small number, but the act was ap
preciated by the persons who sat in th'
seats behind them. 1t is the fashionable
custom now in all cities and towns of an,
pretense for women to remove their hat
at theatricals, lectures and entertain
ments of all kinds, and Hood Rive
doesn't want to be behind the times il
anything.
