The family of F. 0. Brace returned
from Seattle Saturday evening. They
have been visiting relatives and friends
on the Sound for some time. Mrs.
Brace, who used 10 think she liked the
Sound country better than Hood Ri er,
after this visit declares she would not
live in Seattle. They have had several
severe frosts there, killing all tender
vegetation, and Mrs. Brace was sur.
prised to find tomatoes, cucumbers and
other garden stuff still green and unin-
jured by the frosts in Hood River. Mr..
Braces daughter said if they had to
live there all winter they would all be
dead before spring. Fog prevails there
every day until nearly noon and some
times all day, while here we are enjoy
ing the glorious sunshine almost unin-
terruptedly. 1t is hard to find More
desirable country in which to live than
Hood River, and this fact is not so keen
ly appreciated until one has revisited
his old stamping ground, when the ad-
vantages of Hood River stand out in
bold relief, like protuberances on a log.
The Glacier desires to assist in every
possible way in the educational work OF
the community and to this end will be
glad to have the teachers of the several
districts send in monthly reports for
publication, ii it will be of any value to
them in their work and help to stim-
nlate interest in study and regularity in
attendance in their respective schools
The life of a public school teacher is one
of the hardest and yet most poorly paid,
taking everything into consideration
that can be found and so every patron
OF any school should not fail to most
heartily cooperate with the teacher and
thus add to the efficiency of the work.
1t costs nothing to let your teacher
know that you appreciate the self-sacri-
ficing efforts being made, but it is of in
estimable value to the teacher.
Jack McVay says he is the proud pos
SCISSOR OF nine of the prettiest ten-days-
old pigs in Oregon. Our devil says
Mr.. McVay would not be SO proud of his
pigs If he should see the pigs our devil is
possessed of. When a Sunday school
boy, Of tender years, we remember once
to have read of certain swine being pos
sessed of devils, some 1900 years ago, but
this is the only case in modern times that
las come to our notice. We are curious
to note the effect on the pigs.
A. C. Staten received telegram Fri
day from Utah notifying him of the
death OF Frank Valentine. Mr.. Valen-
tine owned, until recently, acres of
land near Frankton, which he sold to
Mr. Staten after strawberry time and re-
turned to Utah where he was employed
in the smelters before coming to Hood
River. The cause of Mr.. Valentines
death is not known. 1t was ais wish,
however, that Mr.. Staten should take
charge OF his remains, and Mr.. Staten
started Friday evening for Utah,
Here is the way people spend money
at Salem during a visit at the state far.
These items are on card lost at Salem

room, $4.00;shov 1900; admission, 81 80;
shaving and shine, SOC; ice cream, 60c;
taffy, l5c; car fare, 40c; meals, $2.95;
sundries, $3.50; total, SIS. 40; the latter
item probably included some things not
so dry.-Capitol Journal.
b. Warren and wife returned from
Kent, Washington, Thursday evening of
last week. They have been visiting rel
atives and friends in the Sound country,
and Mr.. Warren says that though he
had fine time and a good visit the
country does not agree with his health
so well as does Hood River He thinks
Hood River a much better place to live,
in every respect, than on the Sound.
F. o. Brace met with a painful and
serious accident while splitting wood
las, Friday. He split considerable
portion of his foot nearly off and Is laid
up indefinitely. His wood saw will be
idle consequently until he is able to ac-
company it again. His patrons will
kindly be as patient as possible while
he, crawtish fashion, is growing a new
foot.
The pavilion and the streets in the
immediate neighborhood have been pro-
fusely and tastefully decorated for the
fair. Flags, bunting, evergreens and
big red apples were the materials used,
and the result is tempting as well as
pleasing. Ernest Jensen was the artist
in charge of the decorating.
The Portland Journal OF Saturday
contains write-up of Hood River val
ley by Fred LOckley, jr.. that is one of
the best we have seen. 1t is too long 10
repriat this week, but it will appear
next week, and a copy OF that issue
Of thu Glacier would be a good mis-
sionary to send East.
AK. Fuller had the misfortune to
lose valuable horse Wednesday night.
He was sick nearly all night, and all ei-

He was the finest one Of the big bav
team for which Mr.. Fuller was recently
offered 500.
