The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-11-28

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Shoemaker arrived
at Hotel Pendleton Saturday evening,
from The Dalles, where they were mar
ried on the 9th instant. Mrs. Shoemaker
was Miss Maude Gilbert, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs.C.L. Gilbert, prominent citizens
OF The Dalles, and was favorite of the
young people Of that city. Mr.. Shoe
maker is very well known here where he
lived during his boyhood daysand he isre-
ceiving the congratulations Of his many
friends. He is general manager of the
Spokane branch of the Washington life
insurance company and is recognized as
the most successful man in the business
today. He won the prize given last year
for writing the most policies OF any Of
the company's agents. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shoemaker will remain here few days
before going to Spokane, where they will
make their home,-East Oregonian.
George Knapp, bridge constructor for
the Columbia Southern railroad, came
down from Sherman county Monday.
He reports that the rains in Sherman
county have not been enough yeG to wet
the ground deep enough for the plow.
But there was plenty for the work OF
seeding, and the crop is up and looking
fine. Farmers are elated over the good
prices they are getting for their big crop
of wheat. 1t is now worth go cents for
No. |. A man who is running a chicken
ranch made good thing by following
the threshers with tanning mill and
cleaning up the chaff and straw where
the machines stood. He cleaned up as
high as % sacks in one day.
Captain Blowers, member of the
council of administration, 6. A. R., met
with the board in Portland last week.
The date of meeting of the next
encampment was fixed for May IA, 1908.
Portland was selected as the place at
the state encampment in Astoria. Tents
will be provided for all those who wish
to camp out The tents will be set up
in the parks. May IL was the best the
captain could do for Hood River. But
this date will hardly interfere with our
strawberry harvest, and Hood River can
turn out full delegation.
Sherman Young, the rural mail car
rier, has a covered vehicle in which are
apartments and pigeon holes in regular
post Office style. The outfit cost him
$3.50. He has good, strong team to
haul the vehicle, and everything is in
shape to give good service. 1t is we'll
known fact that the salary allowed the
rural mail carrier is not sufficient for
the service rendered, and as Mr.. Young
has gone to SO much expense to accom-
date the public he serves, his patrons
should patronize him whenever it is in
their power to do so.
Jas. F. DeBord of this city has been
awarded free tuition contract by the
correspondence institute of America,
Scranton, Pennsylvania. This en-
titles the holder to a free mail
course in either illustrating, ad writing,
journalism, proofreading, book keeping,
stenography, practical electricity or
electrical engineering. As Mr.. DeBord
already had one of these contracts, he
will be glad to transfer the extra one to
any worthy person who is interested. A
golden opportunity for somebody.
Nice apples for a permanent exhibit
are wanted in Portland. Hood River
can send good specimens and should
do so. Send to George H. Lamberson,
secretary of the state board of horticul-
ture. Hon. E. L. Smith will take charge
OF any specimens left with him for this
permanent exhibit if he is here at the
time they are brought in. At Portland
they will be put in glass jars. The larg-
est jars hold IL good-sized apples.
L. Struck, on part of the Heald place,
had fine lot of Newtown apples. He
will realize about 81 900 for his apple
crop ON six acres, besides taking off
good crops of strawberries and clover
planted between the rows. The apple
trees were irrigated. Irrigation on that
land has proven it to be first class for
Newtown apples; without irrigation it
was failure. The Davidson Fruit Co.
bought the apples.
Oscar Stranahan and wife returned
home from Spokane last week They we're
called there two months ago by the seri-
GUS illness Of their son Bert, who was sick
withty phoid fever. They nursed him until
he was able to come home with them. Mr..
Stranahan was very much taken with
the city of Spokane and invested in ten
lots. He thinks it a good place to in
vest in real estate but he doesn't go back
on Hood River.
Mrs. Louise Goddard left Sunday for
visit in Portland, after which she will
Join Mr.. Goddard in Tillamook, where
the latter is engaged in teaching vocal
culture, having large class OF private
pupils, and also teaching it in the school.
Mrs. Goddard has been solicited to
teach elocution and music this winter
in Tillamook and will remain there un-
til spring when she and Mr.. Goddard
sill return to their home in Crapper.
Prof. w. F. Werschkul of Portland
sormed a very interesting class in vocal
music at the Congregational church on
Monday. The class consists OF 80 men,
bers. Professor Werschkul is a very
busy and successful teacher and his
presence in Hood River affords the
musically inclined people rare oppor-
unity to cultivate their talents.
Another double apple has peen pre-
sented to the Glacier Office. This time
by Judge Henry. 1t is a Newtown and
has one stem that divided, or SPLIT, and
serves each part. The Newt0wn is now
even with the Ben Davis.
Professor werschkul Of Portland will
sing a sacred solo at the Congregational
church on Sunday at the II O'Clock ser
vice entitled, Thou art Weary"
