Judge Henry and wife left on Tuesday
for Southern California, where they will
remain for the balance of the winter in
Los Angeles or in that immediate vicin-
ity. Judge Henry was reelected quar-
termaster of Candy post, q. A. r., at
the meeting last Saturday. The Judge
is past commander of the post and has
held the office of quartermaster for
years; being reelected every time with
out opposition. He takes deep inter-
est in Grand Army affairs, and was
never known to shirk any work for the
good OF the order left to him. Men like
Judge Henry, who have made good rec
ords in the Grand Army, are known to
have been good soldiers when they
answered their country's call for service
in the field Comrades Of Candy post
join with the many friends of the judge
and wife in wishing them a pleasant
journey to the land of sunshine and a
safe return in the spring.
Hood River people are shivering with
the thermometer at 80 degrees above
zero. Ii we had zero weather, or 80 be-
low, like they have recently had in
some of the Eastern states, we might
think it cold. The weather for the past
week has been cloudy, with no wind,
and the thermometer ranging about 80
above. Snow covers the valley several
inches deep. In town the snow is all
gone from the streets, the mud in which
has dried up, and it is now possible to
, cross the streets afoot without going to
street crossing. The strawberry
patches, fortunately, are all under snow
| There is no fuel famine in Hood River
t and there is no suffering on account ol
the weather.
