The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-04-16

j. w. Kirkwood tells thrilling story
of his fishing trip last Sunday. 1t all
happened just below the forks Of Hood
river. Mr.. Kirkwood was preparing 10
make his fishing rod stationary while he
got drink, and pulled out a rock TO
weight down the pole. The rock he
pulled out loosened huge boulder
which toppled down upon him and
knocked him into the river, where,
waist deep in the water, he remained for
an hour or more with his foot wedged
between two rocks. Mr.. Kirkwood
finally caught onto some drift wood and
thus managed to extricate himself, with
the loss OF one shoe and badly bruised
shin. Kirkwood was alone at the time.
For while he thought the game was up
and began to think OF his past life. He
declares he won't go fishing again on
Sunday.
Several East Side farmers and fruit
growers are giving their attention TO
drainage in their fields and orchards.
Last November II. Lage, A. l. Mason,
Peter Mohr,L. E. Clark and Chris Deth-
man ordered two earlords OF tiling from
Yamhill county. Monday one carload
arrived, which was all they could get
after waiting all this time. This tiling
is bought at the following prices: Sin,
1886 per 1000; ain, $23.S5 per 1000.
Mr.. Mason has already put in 1900 feet
of tiling and is now laying 500 feet more.
Up to the present time he held the
championship for tile laying on the East
Side, but says he must now surrender
the belt to Hans Lage, who has in 1000
feet of drain tile. The East Siders are
firm believers in tile drainage.
