The old and well-known firm of Bone
& Mcdonald, doing business in Hood
River for years, has decided to quit bus
mess. All of the general merchandise
stock of the firm is advertised for sale
at record breaking prices. The firm
finds it costs money to pay rent and pay
clerks while they are selling out, and
have decided to make quick sales by
offering goods at prices known by the
general customer to be way down. They
want to 90 out of business, and the
sooner they can get out the better they
will be suited. The firm has rented
the store building formerly occupied by
Clarke's drug store, in which they will
have part of their goods for sale, and
where they can make better display than
at their over-crowded store room at
their old stand.

0. Fredenburg, the mail carrier to
Mount Hood, corrects the report in last
weeks Glacier that there was eight
inches of snow at Mount Hood. He
says at no time has there been more
than three inches on the ground. Mon
day morning last, there was about three
inches on the ground. According to this
statement, Mount Hood has had no
more snow so far this season than the
lower part of the valley.
The streets of Hood River are a fright.
Mud is about six inches deep through
out the principal streets. These muddy
streets are due to prosperity. When
l;J,1t so tbaf, o,,o TOO N, nm N >,
average pass up and down our streets in
a day, we had good streets and didn't
even need sidewalks. When the rains
ceased the streets were solid and good.
The only way to get relief is for the city
fathers to order the streets graded and
graveled and let the property pay for it.
