The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-10-31
l. D. Blount returned last Friday

! Captain Gordon and returned Philip
pine veteran whose name had escaped
his memory. Mr.. Blount says he was
kept busy keeping the rabbits away
from the wagon so that the others could
shoot them, and that they we're but a
short time in filling their buggy box.
1t seems the rabbits have had fine feed
this season and are bouncing big fellows,
but the Joke is on Mr.. Blount The
| other boys we're out blazing away knock
ing the rabbits right and left, while
he stayed to watch the wagons and
keep the rabbits from running into them
and smashing things generally. He had
moved out little ways from the wagons
when suddenly from the top of little
hill in the direction OF the firing Mr.
Blount saw what he took to be the
daddy OF all the jack rabbits bearing
down on him with terrific speed, appar-
emily with the intent of running him
down. He gave but one glance at the
monster, threw away his gun and made
the quickest time possible for under the
wagon. His companions hearing his
cries for help, ran to his assistance, and
found hin down on all-fours under the
1
colt, that, frightend by the firing was
galloping around the wagon. Mr..
Blount says that Morrow county had a
splendid crop OF wheat this summer
and an increased acreage is being seed
ed this fall. Since the hair has got so
it will lay down again smoothly on his
head, he also thinks it good country
for jack rabbits.
Captain Shaw, who spent Sunday with
his daughter in Portland, reports foggy
damp, heavy weather at the metropolis.
Quite a contrast to our bright, ,sunshiny,
invigorating atmosphere, yet there is
once in while poor descendant OF
Darwin's monkey who thinks he will
buy him an oilskin slicker,a pair Of rub
ber boots, and sou 'wester, and move from
here down into the web-foot country,
and raise grass and cattle and "rheuma-
tiz." Better stay here jocko, where the
people understand you, and where, il
you can't raise so much hay, you will
not be SO liable to raise something else
having the same initial, while suffering
ON the effects Of the juicy condition Of
the weather.
The Prineville journal says at their
recent fair the Crook county apples
showed up better than the apples Judd
Palmer brought from Hood River.

county produces some very fine apples,
or that Mr.. Palmer was not particular
in selecting his samples of Hood River
fruit.
