intended strike OF the motormen and
conductors in the employ OF the Public
Service Corporation are" afioat and Mr..
Mahon's intended visit. 1t Is said, is for
the purpose OF marshalllng the men and
perfecting an organization among
them.
No one In authority among the men
will admit that a strike Is contem-
plated. but 1t is known that the trolley
o~ficiais are apprehepsive.
The organization of the men was un-
dertaken two years ago, and since then
many meetings have been held in a
hall ON Market street.
The Public Service people have been
desvored to learn the identity OF the
leaders In the movement. Many of the
men suspected of being allied with the
union have been questioned, but all re-
fused to reveal the names OF any one
identified with the AFFAIR.
There have been discharges by the
wholesale, and 1t is believed that those
remaining at work propose to secure

Gov. 0deII Refuses to Interfere
with the Execution of the
Three Brothers Who Killed
Their Uncle.
TO BE ELEcTRocUTED OCT. I.
Condemned Youths Had Made Up
Their Minds that Sentence Would
Be COMMITTED and Pardon Would
Follow.

NEwBURG. n. Y. Sept. 21.-The
Governor has refused to commute the
death sentence of the Van Wormer
brothers. OF Columbia County, for the
murder OF their uncle.
The three boys. who are In the death
house at Clinton Prison. will according
ly be executed on Oct. 1, the date set.
The decision OF the Governor will be a
great shock to the condemned youths,
for during the months they
have been confined in Dannemora they
have not acted in the least as II they
had the ~faintest idea they were to suf-
fer death. On the contrary, they SEEM
ed to cherish the idea that their SEN
fences would be committed to life i'm
prisonment and that after a few years
they would be p~ardoned.
Neither relatives nor friends have
called on the boys here since their con-
victaon. and the action of Gov. Odell
will be indorsed by those who know the
condemned best.
While Judge Cady. the lawyer for the
Van Wormers. worked to save the lives
OF his clients, his course in seeking delay
met emphatic protest and the Governor
vas criticised for granting a stay Of
execution. .
The murder of Peter H~allenback at
his home near Hudson on Christmas
Eve. 1901, for which the brothers are to
lie, was so cold-bf,oded that the people
of the community cannot yet see an
~extenuatlng circumstance, and eleven OF
the twelve jurymen who convicted the
Van wormers signed a protest to Gov.
odell against granting any clemency to

Several Eastern immigration agents
and real estate men were in Hood
River last Friday, and were shown over
the valley by George d. Culbertson.
The party consisted of William Wester.
lund, of the VIM. Westerlund & COM
pany, Chicago, land and immigration
agents of the Hartman lines; r. G..
Shultz, travelling immigration agent of
the Union Pacific, 0. r. & N. aud South
ern Pacific railroads, Chicago; F. w.
Hahn, immigration agent of the Harri-
man lines, Huntington, Wis. NJ.
Syverson, a real estate dealer of Tomah,
Wis. Peter Pier, home seeker from
Tomah, Wis. These men act as the East
ern agents of the Hood River real estate
firm OF George D. Culbertson & Co. Mr.
Culbertson drove the visitors over the
valley, showing them the strawberry
fields of the West Side and the annie
belt of the East Side. They were highly
pleased with everything they saw, and
expressed themselves as convinced that
many Eastern people would find homes
here. The young orchards of the East
Side appealed particularly to the visit
ors, and they declared they never saw
such clean, thrifty apple trees. "'No
valley in the West, remarked Mr.. West
erlund, "offers such bright prospects as
Hood River, and l shall take pleasure
IN telling Eastern people of the many
attractions offered here to homeseekers. y
The others also were glad to EXPRESS
themselves in similar manner.

for the masonry work of the basement
w. c. Knighton of Portland has drawn
up the architectural plans, and the
building contract, it is expected, will be
let in couple of weeks. The church
building will cost about 81 800 and will
be located on the corner of State street
and Park avenue, adjoining the resi-
dence property OF f. B. Barnes.
Edward Thornton Head, a former
Hood River boy, was valedictorian of
his class in the graduating exercises Of
the Peoria high school, June Is, 1903.
His subject was the aggressions of Russia
in Asia, and the subject was handled in
scholarly manner.
Hon, J. L. Mitchell of Portland, su-
preme secretary of the Order of Wash.
ington, will visit the union at Hood
River Saturday evening, June 27. Also
Lady Commander Adams, the drill cap
tain of the order, would like to meet all

Raised $500 in 10 Minutes.

Ed Rand, city marshal Of Sumpter,
was in Hood River Saturday and told
how the people Of that city raised $500
in ten minutes for the relief OF the Hepp-
ner sufferers. The first authentic news
of the destruction reached Sumpter at
noon. A mass meeting gathered at 80
and between that hour and 2:l5, when
the train left for Baker City, the Sump.
ter citizens had raised over 500 in cash,
and so men had volunteered as the
Sumpter Relief committee, with Marshal
Rand in command, and were ready to
leave for the stricken city. These SO
men were the first organized relief band
to reach Heppner, and they did heroic
service in recovering the dead and re-
moving the debris from the streets.
Mr.. Rand says that a few days before
this Sumpter had raised $500 for 4th
of July celebration, and that if there had
been more time the Heppner fund would
have reached this amount Just as the
train pulled out one man came rushing
up with $40 in his hand that he was
anxious Heppner should have. Every
body was anxious to give.
1t seems there is intense rivalry be-
tween Baker City with her 5000 popu-
lation and Sumpter with $500. Baker
City was going to raise funds Tuesday
night, but on hearing what Sumpter had
done, men hustled around in carriages
and gathered several hundred dollars to
take down with the Sumpter committee.
Sumpter outdid Baker City in good
shape this time.

Stndents Home from CORVALLIS.

The following Hood River students,
who are attending the Oregon Agricul-
tural college at Corvallis, have returned
for the summer vacation: Miss Carrie
Byerlee, Ernest and Max Hinrichs, Meigs
Bartmess and Percy Adams. The Hood
River young people all made good pro-
gress at Corvallis and rank among the
best students in the college. Miss Carrie
Byerlee secured the highest record in
several of her classes, and in higher
mathematics no one in the school was
her equal. The Hinrichs brothers are
also exceptionally good students, and in
the election for editor-in-chief of the
college paper, the Barometer, Ernest
Hinrichs tied for six ballots for the po-
stion. His opponent was finally elected
and Ernest was made literary editor.
Meigs Bartmess won the gold medal in
the competitive manuel Of arms drill,
and has been commissioned captain of a
cadet company. This promotion is also
based on scholastic standing. Percy

bitches Raised the Price of Land.

Hood River, Or, June 20, 1903. Edit
or Glacier: | am very much surprised
and chagrined at our good nelghbor,
0. /. Stranahan, on account OF the way
he has been talking. He talks now OF
plowing up the strawberries on his 10
acre patch, and / presume rent it for a
race track for $5 per year, as he did
before the Valley Improvement COM
pany built their present ditch, and when
his land was only worth $40 per acre.
Why not sell it now when he can get
$400 per acre and more? Some of it has
been sold for more than 81 900 per acre.
But if it had not been for the Valley I'm
provement company he could get no
more now than the $40. Mr.. Stranahan
took 500 stock in the Valley Improve
ment company, and at that time was
unable to make the payments on it, as
were most OF the other ranchers in the
valley. Now he could build ditch like
it himself. He says that all the people
in the town are against the new ditch.
Why shouldn't they be? Nearly all
have stock in the present ditch, and
those who have no stock are interested
in other ways, for they realize that it
was the Valley Improvement company
that made the town what it is.
The Valley Improvement company
can and will furnish all the water needed
below the level of their ditch, and with
about 5000 it can be made to carry
twice the amount of water needed for
years to come. Every one knows that
the first year the company did business
they had to beg to sell $50 inches. The
second year thev offered to furnish water
for new clover and new plants at half
price, and in this way managed to sell
about 500 inches. The next year it was
raised to 700, next to 800 and then made
jump to 1900 inches. Had the COM
pany known last October that 1900
inches would be needed this year they
would have enlarged their laterals and
prepared to furnish it, the main ditch
being able to carry 800 inches more than
was ordered this season.
Outside of six or eight people on
Stranahan's sand hill every body has
had all the water they needed, and a
great many have had more than they
needed, hence the shortage in straw
berries. The town people are not him
dering the building Of the new ditch. /
know lot of the town people who would
give their old shoes if the new ditch
company would build, but they cannot
guarantee them the sale OF 1900 inches OF
water, as that is more than is needed or
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-06-25

will be needed next year, and the Valley
Improvement company has orders for
some of it.
If our town people gave Mr.. Strana-
han bonus, took stock in grist mill,
and he was grinding all the wheat raised
in the valley, he would not expect them
to give bonus and take stock in another
and better mill and have it built OH his
ground, or ON top of his building by
simply putting on side boards. But If
other parties come in, build their mill,
using their own money and ground to
build on, do not try to contract for all
the wheat raised in the next ten years
and would let the mill already in keep
on grinding. / do not think the town
people would stop the enterprise.

Fred Alban We'll is the new minister
of the Unitarian society in Hood River
Last week the Glacier had prepared a
personal for Mr.. We'll, but as the make
up man was closing the forms the item
concerning the new minister went to pi
perhaps because of the wording,
wherein it was said Mr.. We'll had had
five years Of newspaper work, which un-
doubtedly fitted him the better for the
ministry. Mr.. Wells chief newspaper
experience was with the Worcester
(Mass.) Telegraph, where he did stunts
from weddings and social functions to
races and other sports. Mr.. We'll is
graduate of Annover college, class OF '92,
and is now prusuing studies in the Uni
tartan seminary at Meadville, Pa. He
will conduct weekly services in Hood
River during the summer months, and
many people OF the community will be
glad of the opportunity to listen to his
discourses.
Netherbey, the Odell ranch, is in
charge of Mrs. G.. G. Roberts in the alb
sence of her husband, and notice is given
that the parties who have been entering
and molesting the premises lately, will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law unless they desist from their prac.
tice. Mrs. Roberts says the molestors
have been very bold, even coming into
the barn yard, during her absence, and
milking the cows, from which she is
making II pounds of butter a week.
Another time 80 chickens were taken
from the hen house, and during the
night things have been thrown against
the windows OF the residence. Mrs.
Roberts proposes to put stop to the
nuisance and intends to deal severely
with the disturbers, who ever they are.
The Real Estate Emporium, John
Leland Henderson, proprietor, is located
in new quarters on the corner of State
and Third streets, where Mr.. Henderson
has fitted up the neatest real estate Office
in town. Besides transacting its share
of Hood Rivers real estate business,
the sales of late of the Townsite syndicate
are made through the Emporium. The
execution of title, abstract and transfer
papers keeps Mr.. Henderson and his
assistant, Burnett Duncan, very busy
these days. The Emporium secures
daily from the Office of the Wasco county
clerk, copy of all land transfers, and
through the courtesy of Mr.. Henderson
these real estate transactions will appear
each week in the Glacier.
Miss Lucy Roberts, after completing
her sophomore year at Corvallis college,
will visit for two weeks with friends in
Portland before coming to Hood River,
where she will spend the summer with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. g. G.
Roberts. Miss Lucy made an excellent
record at college, and will return in Sep
tember to enter her junior year.

1t was good game of baseball, Sun
day afternoon, in which Hood River de-
feated the Sunnyside Woodmen OF the
World team by the score Of 8 to 4. The
home team played good ball, and had
the same kind Of playing characterized
the game couple of weeks ago with
Wasco, the bunch grassers wouldn't have
had much to brag on after the score was
told. Roy Haynes Of Portland, who used
to play with the Sunnyside nine, pitched
for Hood River, and the Castner boys
were in the lineup for the locals They
we're all strong features OF the game.
Frank Davidson, although still cripple,
did splendid work as catcher. Barber
Haynes made nice running catch, and
Sheets at shortstop was effective Fay
brio, Morse and Dewitt were also in the
game from start to finish.
Keller did some good fielding for the
visitors, but the intermitting playing of
the visitors made team work very in
effective. Five hundred people saw the
game, most of the crowd being made up
of excursionsts from Portland.
The players lined up as follows:
