CRristendom needs a new baptism OF
sincerity. Men should not put their

ROAD TO BOAT LANDING.

A new road to the boat landing and a
new wharf for Hood River are now al
most certain. The necessary rights oil
way have been assured, and Manager ii.
c. Campbell Of the Regulator line has
stated that the steamboat company
will build the wharf and warehouse
provided the city Of Hood River puts in
the road. A committee from the CONNER
cial club went over the route of the pro-
posed road Monday, and the Regulator
company will send an engineer to survey
the line and to make an estimate OF the
cost. The matter is now with the Com
m ercial club and business men OF the
town. and more definite action will be
taken at the next meeting.
The land crossed by the proposed road
is owned by Winans Bros, the Mount
Hood Lumber company and Frank But
ton. Free rights Of way have been
granted by Winans Bros. and the
Mount Hood Lumber company. Frank
Button was out Of town when the COM
mittee looked over the ground and it is
not known what concessions he VIII
make. The committee from the Com
mercial club consisted of Leslie Butler,
William Eccles and Aud Winans. A
Glacier reporter accompanied the men
as they went over the ground for the
road.
Beginning at the eastend Of the wagon
bridge spanning Hood river, the road
would go down the right bank Of the
river, under the 0. r. & N. railroad
bridge, thence on an almost straight line
northeast to the Columbia, at point
lust beyond the mill company's barn,
where the wharf will be built, This
would afford an almost level road for
the whole distance, and it is intended to
make the road 20 feet wide. The prob
| able cost is estimated at from S2,OOO to
5000.
The most difficult piece of work Will
be between the two bridges. The rest OF
the road will likely be made OF planks
on piling. The whole road can be built
on right of way already promised, but II
Mr.. Button will permit it short turn
may be avoided by the road crossing a
corner OF his field.
H.C. Campbell, general manager OF
the Regulator line, was in conference
Sunday with members of the Mount
Hood Lumber company. He declares
he is anxious to give Hood River the
best of steamboat facilities, and will put
in double deck wharf providing the
citizens of the town do their share anc
help build the road to the landing. Mr.
Campbell will be here again in week

Hood River Wins, 12 to 8.

Five hundred people watched the
ball game Sunday afternoon and saw
the home team defeat The Dalles boys
by u to 8 score. Most of the tickets
we're sold and the receipts amounted to
about SIS. The excursion from The
Dalles brought 40 visitors.
The first part of the game was decid-
edly The Dalles,' the visitors scoring
three runs the first inning. 1t was a
goose egg for Hood River and The
Dalles piled up three more to their
score. The visitors we're wild with de-
light and the rooters howled. The
Dalles got two more. Hood River was
furious. The team pulled together in
bunch and landed five runs.
About this time someone got mad anc
everything became tangled up. Goats
were pulled and 80 men rushed onto the
diamond. Cooler council prevailed ano
order was restored. The visitors made
but one more score. Hood River crossed
the home plate seven times, and thu
game belonged to the home team, IL to 3

Peculiar. Isn'tIt?

Here in drouthy Kansas we are
having more rain than they are having
in New York and other states in the
east. They say that even the garcen
pitches are SO dry, that the e uden rs
are loosing their whole crops arounu
New York City, while we are getting
more rain than we need. Really
some are complaining because 1t is
raining so much. Say, can you tell
me where dry Kansas is? Itmay be
dry this year and wet for the next
five years. There is one thing about
1t, if you'get a good crop this year,
prepare for dry times next year. Tor
we have had five pretty good crops.
SO you better b'ace up for three or
tour pretty poor ones. Possibly YOU
will not want to buy anew threshing
machine when you can get a second
hand one like we are selling for
$4,000. We have two binders new.
carried over from last year that we
can sell for $500 less than the
regular price. We have the Minnie
binder with which you can use the
grass Irvine with this binder. In
order to get it introduced we will sell
it for $1,000 less than any other
binder, guaranteed, in every respect.
DON'T FORGET TO ORDER
EARLY, SO you will not be
disappointed, as we cannot afford to
to keep every extra on hand all the
time. Prepare. for harvest in your
home as well as in the harvest field,
by getting your wife a new Quick
Meal gasoline stove, the best on the
market, the safest and the cheapest,

A Harmful Practice.

cit is big mistake to have your
face packed In hot towels in a bar
Der shop" said an eye specialist the
other day. ct is very bad for the
eyes. The towels, steaming with
heat, are packed about the face in
such way that inevitably they cover
the eyes, and they remain for
several minutes, drawing the blood
to the tender vessels of the eve and
swelling them. The hot pack feels
good to the face, and undoubtedly
helps to steam out the skin, but the
benefit derived In that direction u
more than Offset by the damage done

the Ocean Wave washing machine;
which we sell, or a roller bearing

to pacify the boy, to get him a nice
Imperial Bicycle, and the girl who
will help, through harvest, a nice
watch and chain or a set ring, the
wife nice carpet or piece Of fur

will be pleased for doing SO every

A TIP TO MARRIED MEN.
Women Generally Part with New Money
with Great Reluctance.


''There are few women who do not
spend new money reluctantly" said
aclerkin one of the leading stores to a
Washington Post reporter. CA wom-
an will invariably hunt around in her
purse for old money in paying for a
purchase. Why this is SO I have
never been able to discover, but the
exceptions simply prove the rule.
DAILY have examples of this
trait in women right here in this
store, and when feminine customer
finally does part with the precious
crisp bills it is with some little eiac-
ulation of annoyance and frequently
an attitude of Indignation, as though
l had forced her into spending
her money against her will. On
some occasions I have actually known
women to leave the store sooner
than break new bill.
(''But l have been benefited so by
my different experiences with this
popularity of the sex that I have
learned to take it philosophically, be-
lieving there may be something to
yet learn So, when my patience is
on the verge of exhaustion, l gain
new strength from the knowledge of
how much money I have been saved
from a woman's dislike in parting
with new money. The secret is SIM
pie enough.
81 always manage to carry my sal
airy home in beautiful, clean, crisp
bills, and the reluctance with which
my wife gets rid of them rebounds to
my financial benefit This is a tip to
other married men, and I am certain
they would save money by adopting
the suggestion"

HERMIT OF BOG MOUNTAIN.
Cuts Ten Tons of Hay Yearly and Gest
It In on a Wheelbarrow.

It In on Wheelbarrow.
| At the base of Bog mountain is
farm under cultivation, owned and
carried on by Silas Prescott. There
Is no highway leading into this place.
About rs years ago there was large
family Of boys, sons Of Samuel Pres
colt, settled on or near Prescott hill.
One of these, Josiah, about 60 years
ago cleared up few acres Of tillage
and built house at the base of Bog
mountain. Much of the lumber he
carried on his back from the high
way, distance. of half mile. He
lived there the remaining part of his
life. Five children were born on this
farm.
One of them, Silas B., now 81 years
of age, has always lived on the birth
place. His father died in 1876 and
his time in hunting and fishing, and in
lives alone, the town giving him his
taxes on condition that he ask for
no highway. A reporter called and
ascertained that he lived alone, had
ten acres Of tillage, cut about ten tons
of hay, and gets it in on a wheelbar-
row. His great hobby is keeping
bees and he has the business down
fine, some years receiving large re-
turns The bees are so tame with
him that he can spread honey on his
face, lie down on the grass and the
bees will come and take the honey
away and do not sting him. He han
dies them without any fear
Mr.. Prescott says he never gets
lonely. He spends a great deal of
his time in huting and fishing, and in
the season for them gets very many
skunks. He says he has caught as
many as four of these odoriferous an
finals in night without dog. He
takes lantern on his arm and sets
out for nights hunt A bride path
leads from the fourth New Hamp-
shire turnpike to his place The dark
est or stormiest night has no terror
for him. Mr.. Prescott once won a
bag of meal on wager that he could
carry it home, distance of two miles,
letting down and putting up two
pairs of bars himself, without setting
the meal down. For diet he uses
crackers, canned goods, fish, game
AMI berries in their season. The re-
porter asked him how he would like
a woman to keep house for him. He
had a good many s'ifs'' in his answer.
He seems to enjoy his mode of living
as well as any he could have. In
winter he cuts down some wood and
lumber, but, summer or winter, work
Is not allowed to interfere with his
interest in sport or recreation.
