The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-07-16

Robert Rand returned Monday
from two-day's trip down the Col
umbia. He left the steamer at Cook 's
landing Saturday morning and walked
up to Commissioner Coulter's ranch,
| formerly "French Billy" or VIM. Dra-
nos place. From here he went up the
Little White Salmon TO VIM. Orser's,
where he spent two nights. Mr.. Rand
| saws Chenoweth is bound to be great
apple country. People who have never
visited Chenoweth have no conception
of the great scope of country to be set
tied up. Mr.. Rand found the Columbia
River Northern surveyors IN the woods,
but in conversation with the workmen
he could secure no information as to
what the surveyors are there for.
H. j. Byrkett, the champion fisher
man Of Hood River, spent several days
last week on his old fishing grounds at
Trout Lake. The fishing was not the
best while he was there for the reason
that the weather was calm. The fish
take the fly best when the wind is blow
ing. However, he managed to catch
plenty for himself and the family he
was stopping with, besides literally sup
plying the baskets Of some OF the less
fortunate Hood River sportsmen who
think they can catch fish. His best
DAYS catch was 0S. The Glacier force
was remembered in the distribution of
the big fat trout Mr.. Byrkett brought
home Saturday.
Sanford Smith of Pine Flat, Wash,
was in town Monday. The people OF
Pine Flat celebrated the 4th Of July by
assembling at the home OF Mr.. Smith,
where they had big dinner. There
was speaking by Miss Mae Roe, Miss
Anna Smith, A. F. Smith, Mrs. A. F.
Smith. Mrs Atwood, Mrs. Bull, Mrs.
Lindsay and Mr.. and Mrs. Swanson
sang patriotic songs. The dinner was
bountiful and several baskets of good
things were left. Everybody enjoyed a
good time.
E. N. Benson says that considering
this was poor strawberry year, he is
satisfied with his crop. He has early
ground and harvested most of his crop
before the hot weather. From six acres
he shipped S45 crates, an average of
about lao crates to the acre. Mr.. Ben
son believes in the efficacy OF thorough
cultivation, and uses the horse cultiva-
tor both fall and spring. As success
full fruit grower, Mr.. Benson can't be
beat.
Camping parties are gathering on the
banks of Hood river at Maple Dell.
Yesterday the following party left town
for this point: Mrs. Lou Morse, Mrs.
Charles Castner and daughter, Miss
Bergie Crow and Miss Ida Brace. Char.
lie Castner and Charlie Morse went
along to put up the tents and to arrange
the camp. Mrs. Morse is in poor health
and goes to the mountain with the in.
tention of remaining until September /.
A. J.. Haynes, the Chenoweth mail
carrier, rasped the catgut in the waters
OF the Little White Salmon, last Sun
day, in company with Charley Meyers.
Together they caught 286 fish. Haynes
started home the same night with 1877
trout, but after supplying fish to every
one he met, he landed in Hood River
Monday morning with barely a mess for
his brother Len, the barber. We can
see now why he missed the Glacier.
