Workmen were engaged last Saturday
in tearing down the old house on F. IL.
Buttons place. The old house stood
in front OF the new and palatial resi-
dence lately built by Mr.. Button, and
of course it had to be removed. Every
part of it was consigned to the flames.
This old house was one of the first built
in Hood River valley. The old Coe
mansion, still standing on State street,
in the west part of town, is the Oldest
house, and the house recently razed by
F. Fl. Button was built soon after, prob
ably about 1866, In this old house both
Grant and Sheridan found shelter dur
ing their military service in Oregon be-
fore the civil war. Both were then
lieutenants in the regular army. As
late as 1880, this was the only house be-
tween the boatlanding and the Coe
mansion. Up to this time it was the
voting place for Hood River precinct.
j. NJ. Lenz was in town Monday and
gave the Glacier a call Mr.. Lenz has
fine place on the Booth hill on the
Mount Hood road. He hasn't much
land cleared as yet, but he has enough
to make him living. His land, like
the rest OF the Mount Hood country, is
excellent for clover. He had three
acres in clover last season that yielded
five tons to the acre second cutting. The
second crop was better than the first. Mr..
Lenz says he never would have believed
that five tons of clover hay could be
made on an acre OF Land, but he proved
it this year to his complete satisfaction.
The hay was pressed and weighed.

his little SON Lawrence from North
Pacific Sanatarium, Portland, OH last
The operation on his right

continues to battle the knowledge and
skill Of his physicians.
