The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-12-03

The offices OF the Electric Light and
Power company in the new building
erected by Evans 4 Jayne, on River
street, are up-to-date in every particu-
lar. The front room is the business
Office, the second room is private, and
the third is a work shop and store room.
Overhead is space for two large rooms
that have not vet been finished off. The
business Office and private room are
decorated with handsome oil paintings,
the work of Miss Lena Evans, who is
Mr.. Evans assistant in the office. The
work OF Miss Evans in oil painting OF
landscapes, animals and flowers is first
class for an amateur. Miss Evans
should by all means continue her studies
in the art line under some able instruc-
tor. She bids fair to make an artist Of
note. At the east end Of the building
Attorney JAYNE occupies two rooms that
are also up-to-date in furnishings, and
would compare favorably with lawyers
quarters in large city.
The Paris Fair has leased the adjoin-
ing building formerly occupied by 0. B.
Hartley's grocery store, and last week
moved portion of their immense stock
into the new store room. This addi-
tional room was much needed. The
passageway lets more light into the
store and there is now a better chance
to display goods. The Paris Fair peo-
pie are very anxious that the Odd Fell
lows lodge carry out its intention OF put
ting up three-story brick on the ground
where their present store is located. 1t
is estimated that this would require an
expenditure of 10000. There is every
reason to believe it would be safe and
paying investment. The Paris Fair en-
joys an extensive trade and reports busi-
ness exceptionally good this fall. The
goods of this firm are purchased direct
from the manufacturers, and this enables
the store to maintain such record oflow
prices.
An accident happened near Viento,
Saturday, by which Japanese was
killed by the cars. He was found by
the section boss lying on the railroad
track with his head crushed and one leg
cut off. 1t is supposed that he fell from
a freight train. Commissioner Hibbard
was notified, who went to Viento, and
there being no one to Identify the dead
man, he brought the remains to Hood
River, where they were buried at the
expense OF the county by Undertaken
Bartmess.
Two horses OF the Mount Hood Lum-
Der Co. met death Tuesday afternoon by
falling over the right bank at the falls
of Hood River. The horses were being
used to break the big log jam in the
narrows by means of block and tackle.
The jam suddenly gave way and the
poor animals were pulled backward over
the bluff, striking on the rocks 100 feet
below. E. 7. Winans brought the news
OF the accident to the Glacier Office.
Edward M. Swain, who came to Hood
River last spring as secretary for
the promoters of the late Hood River
company, is now in Southern
California, where he went for the ben
eft of his health. Mr.. Swain is troubled
with consumption. He is bright young
man and his friends hope to learn that
he is gaining health and strength in the
Southern climes.
Miss Clara Tucker of Roseland, La,
niece of Judge L. Henry, writes in
letter to the judge that she showed
copy of the Glacier to a gentleman
friend who operates a type-setting ma
chine on the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. He remarked that the Glacier
was the best country newspaper he ever
saw. 1t would do credit to a much
larger town.
w. E. Sheriff., last week, moved his
goods to his new home in
Clark county, Wash. Monday he went
with his family to Woodville, Southern
Oregon, where they will visit for month
or two with Mrs. Sherrill's parents,
when, by that time, they will get pos
session of their new home and dairy
farm in Clark county.
Lee Evans was down from Mosier,
Friday Of last week. Mr., Evans is one
of the leading apple growers of Mosier,
and has just made his last shipment in
a total of 700 boxes. The Davidson
Fruit company of Hood Rivir were the
purchasers. Besides his apple crop,
Mr.. Evans marketed last fall two and
quarter car loads of prunes.
Atthe Electric Light company's Office
is a calendar for 1904 that is attracting
a great deal of attention. 1t is one of
Bartmess' calendars with a picture of
two little boys embracing each other
1t is the way the boys are named that
makes the picture unique.
Miss Emma Clanton, superintendent
of schools for Klickitat county. Wash,

guest Of Mr.. and Mrs. Byrkett.
G. Mickleson, of Husum, who is car
pentering in White Salmon, visited
