Marsh would answer and then drive OIL
and leave the patron of the free delivery
to think that he had gained or lost
a day during the week. At Sherrieb'
corner he found Ingalls,, Gibbons anC
Sherrieb waiting for their mail. "Where'
the Glacierp' was asked almost in cho
rus Marsh tried to play the same gam,
with them he had played on Others
but Sherrieb was posted and knew il
was Friday. Marsh was forced to tell
that the Glacier failed to get out on its
usual time. Subscribers kept calling al
the Glacier Office saying that the car
rier had missed them. They came in
from the West Side on Friday ,and Sat
urday more of them called from the
East Side. This is one time the Glacier
got left-and it wasn't very cold day,
either.
A movement is on foot to place steam
ferry on the Columbia between Hood
River and White Salmon. 1t is hoped
the movement will succeed at an early
date. Hood River is losing money every
day by not having good ferry privileges
on the river. As it is now, the people
OF the rich dairy and stock-growing sec
tions OF Camas Prairie and Trout Lake
and intermediate points find it cheaper
to go to The Dalles on the steamboats,
and do their trading than it is to come
to Hood River. Hood River can sell
merchandise as cheaply as The Dalles or
Portland, and it would be much more
convenient for the people of the sections
mentioned to do their trading here if we
had reliable steam ferry rather than
to go further. We want the steam ferry.
On Monday, Lyman Smiths house
was invaded in broad day light, and he
was forced to sit down to nicely spread
dinner with five lively young women.
Two of the invaders had taken possess
sion of the house about ten O. o'clock, and
prepared dinner for three. When
about ready to partake of the tempting
viands, the door suddenly opened and in
walked the other three damsels with
baskets of delicacies to help out, and
make sure their welcome. All hands
had an enjoyable time, and Mr.. Smith
said II wouldn't mind if this happened
every day"
