John Croft OF Mount Hood had live
ly time with cougar last Monday even
ing. He was driving home from hi
sons place when he saw large cougar
crouched on log beside the road. H,
yelled to scare the fierce animal away
when it took to the brush only to appear
again few rods farther on. This time
yelling had no effect, and as he whipped
up his horses to hurry by, the cougar
sprang at the driver and struck against
the hind wheel of the wagon. This is the
story as told by Mr.. Leasure, who got
his information from Mr.. Croft. Cou.
gars must be pretty bold in the Mount
Hood settlement.
The Glacier was a little premature in
starting Mr.. and Mrs. P. D. Hinrichs on
their European trip last week. They
left Hood River on the noon train Fri
day and will go direct to Hamburg, Ger
many. Mr.. Hinrichs left Germany Al
years ago. He has been five times across
the Atlantic ocean and made several
trips across the American continent. For
several years he lived in Mexico, and
for the past 30 years has been a resi-
dent Of Hood River, where he has one
of the best improved farms and has
been successful in managing it. Bon
voyage.
Hubert Leist OF Collins, Wash, was in
Hood River last Friday. Mr.. Leist be-
lieves there is money in growing straw
berries at Collins, where there is south
and where he says the fruit
ripens as early as at White Salmon. He
will experiment extensively with berries
next year, and with both low and high
land he is confident of producing the
best paying berries-the very early berry
and the late berry. The soil at Collins
is of similar nature to the Hood River
soil.
Captain Belcher has about completed
a l6- room cottage at Collins hot springs.
In the spring, Captain Belcher thought
he had found hot spring source above
high water level ,and waa about to erect
a $4,000 hotel and sanitarium, but
when the river rose this spring the cold
water seeped through and destroyed the
heat of the springs. This situation con-
tinues for about two months in the year,
and ofcourse obliterates the hot springs.
Another attempt will be made to strike
a spring not affected by high water.
Robert Leasure of Mount Hood was in
town Friday. He reports the clover
crop Of Mount Hood all harvested and
hauled in. AL Rankey's baler has been
at work for William Rodenhiser, where
he baled 35 tons of first class clover hay.
The crop was excellent as usual, and
was all saved without rain. The timo-
thy, which is also. fine crop, is now
being cut. Oats is also good crop.
