The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1902-06-13


heard from, they started out to search
for them. They learned from Copple
Heinrich, about noon, that two strangers
had passed through Frankton going
towards the planer on horses answering
the description of the lost ones. Sill
man went out on The Dales road to look
after the horses, while Crockett went
towards Nicolai. At Nicolai he found
the horses tied in the brush and took
possession. "A roll Of blankets was
strapped on the saddle Of each horse.
When Crockett discovered the horses he
noticed man on the railroad east OF
the spot and another on the road west
Of it. Evidently the men who took the
horses intended to wait for night fall to
continue their journey.
E. D. Calkins Of Hood River post,
Cne-legged veteran, is down today. He
was member of Co. A, 9th Wisconsin,
in the "Iron Brigade" His left leg was
shot off at Antietam, September II, 1862.
He was carried into the historic Paf-
fenberg barn, where soldiers were en-
gagged in slowing away the Union wound
ed Some of the soldiers began to hide
in the barn, when Calkins took up a
loaded rifle and forced them to return
to duty. He saw the sore need Of every
man and, with his shattered leg dang
ling, he forced the towards out until
McCle llan's orderly came to his relief
and drove them to the front.--Astoria

The Glacier is in receipt of letter
from Arthur Cole who is at st. James,
Mimi. He has just obtained patent
for a necktie frame which he made
while at Hood River. 1t is made of one
piece of elastic steel wire over which
| the tie is made, it fastens to the collar
button and does away with the neck
band which is so hard to work up un-
der the turn down collars. A copy Of
the patent with drawings can be seen in
the Glacier window. An uncle of Ar
thurs, who lives at st. James, is the in
ventor Of new washing machine which
washes clothes by compressed air forcing
the water through the clothes.
Emile Frautschy and brother have a
ranch in the upper part of Hood River
valley Last fall they bought 225 sheep
of sheep man who gave them old
scabby ewes. These old sheep couldn't
stand the winter, and 100 Of them died.
They lost 70 lambs this spring, and now
have 125 sheep and 100 lambs. They
paid $3.50 a head for the sheep. After
this sad experience they have con-
cluded that the sheep business does not
pay unless you have enough to employ
a man to stay with the band all the
time.
