The new side walk along Geo. P.
Crowell's store property on Oak street is
q great convenience on muddy DAYS.
The public would appreciate few more
sidewalks and cross walks on our busi-
ness thoroughfares. 1t might be good
proposition for our business men and
town council to unite in furthering a
project for securing more sidewalks. Ii
electric lights are too expensive luxury
we ought to at least give pedestrians a
chance to evade the mud of the streets.

The Glacier humbly acknowledges
that The Dalles can beat Hood River
this year on big peaches, but we are
ahead on big apples. We ask the Chron-

doesn't make the better showing.
