Some person or persons, too, has been
guilty of serious penal offense, and if
possible, should be apprehended and
given the full benefit OF the legal pre-
scription for such cases. Not content
with minor misdemeanors they short
circuited the electric light current near
N. G. Evans place, burning out the
| fuse at the power house. The dynamo
evidently is good one and in perfect
working order or it would have been
ruined causing loss OF several hundred
dollars to the Light company. Then to
complete the sum OF their m llicious-
ness, they came into town up on the
hill and connected the electric light
line with the telephone wire. Had not
this connection been discovered before
the dynamo was repaired and started
every telephone on the line touched
would have been burned nut, and very
probably the girls in central using their
head gear wou d have been killed.
A curious attempt to obtain money on
false representation was experienced by
Mrs. G. G. Roberts last week. A tele-
gram from Simms, Cal, was received
which informed her that her daughter,
Lucille Jean Roberts of the O. A. c.,
Corvallis, was there in destitute circum-
stances and to forward money. Imme-
diate inquiry established the fact that
Miss Roberts was then at school at Cor
wallis, which she had not left since
college opened the middle of September
President Catch of the college phoned
to Simms that the real Miss Roberts was
there and that an imposture was being
attempted No doubt some one who
knows the family well attempted this,
but who it was cannot even be guessed.
Frank Stanton, after reading OF the
Scappoose apples mentioned in last
weeks Glacier, came in TO say that he
gathered from his own orchard 28 boxes
of Northern Spy apples, l3 OF which
were three-tier apples. r. X. Erwin
says the Scappoose yield must have been
only an accident. He once owned l60-
acre farm in that country and got rid of
the land as soon as he saw the other fell
low had got the better of the deal. Hood
River still leads the procession. !.

hibit of Irish potatoes some fine sam
