sity, is in good hands while he is at its
head. He prefaced his remarks by COM
mending the work of the Brotherhood
OF Andrew and Philip in providing for
the physical and moral culture of the
youth Of Hood River in the gymnasium
and reading rooms recently built. DR..
Strong visited the public schools in
Hood River. He went from here to
Baker City, where he will visit the
schools OF that city and other places in
Eastern Oregon. The Brotherhood OF An
drew and Philip deserve the thanks and
liberal support of the Hood River public

course Of lectures.
A small cottage is being built on the
corner near the nursery by II. G. Bate
ham, to be used by employees of the nur-
sery for housekeeping purposes, and the
land adjoining has been cleared for put
ting i'll garden. These changes in that
locality seem to have been the cause Of
multitude Of rumors and questions.
But Mr.. Bateham informs us that the
land west of the road has not been sold
to party who is building the house,
neither is it true that Mr. Baker has
bought out the nursery business or even
thought of it. The building is not to be
another country store on the line of the
street and the present road will not be
| changed. The fact yet remains that
MIR. Bateham is still most thoroughly in
| the nursery business at the old place
and expects to stay there; in fact, has no
thought of doing anything else.

the close Of the war. He was member

with a good fighting record. His lecture
will be particularly interesting to old
soldiers, and he hopes to see good
number Of them present.
