The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-11-19

ity to the range of hills west of town
and the grand growth of oaks and pines
that border the north and west sides,
passed serenely through the storm, said
to be the worst ever seen here, without
even the breaking Of tree and but few
branches damaged. Moral: if you would
care to live in section where all the
blessings OF life seem to be conferred
upon its citizens, come to Barrett dis
trict.
School is progressing finely and even
the "bad boys" seem to be perfectly
satisfied. One of the instructors, how
ever, is somewhat worried about cou-
pie of the aforesaid bad boys, whom he
kept in after school last Friday for cor
rection, but who, while the teacher was
engaged in making an appointment (O
disappeared, and the only evidence left
behind was an open window, and a
couple of shadows across the school
house yard. We would suggest few
sash locks and some strong tree branch
es.
J. P. Barnett met with severe acci-
dent last week while hitching up his
team. He slipped and fell under one of
his horses, which, becoming frightened,
attempted to get away. Mr.. Barnett,
not being able to extricate himself, was
stamped by the horse on the head, arms
and legs, his head being cut very severe
ly, SO as to require the taking OF several
stitches by DR.. Brosius, who at
tended him. We understand that
while painful, his injuries are not
dangerous, but that it will compel his
remaining quiet for a few days. Mr..
Barnett's many friends congratulate
him on his narrow escape.
Two strangers were traversing this
section through all the mud and rain
last Saturday looking for location. They
seemed to know just what suited them
and we understand secured what they
wanted.
The Valley Christian church having
secured the services Of Rev. A. A. Beery
as pastor, have arranged for series OF
meetings at the church, beginning on
Thanksgiving day November 26, at 10 80
a. III. and Z p. M, and every evening
thereafter until further notice. 1t was
the intention to have begun this service
some four weeks ago, but the smallpox
rumors caused the postponement. AS
this meeting is intended to encourage
the betterment of all mankind, subjects
will be introduced and discussed at each
service that will be entertaining in the
highest degree. The pastor is one of
the most effective speakers and presents
his subjects in an entirely different man
ner from most ministers, and all who
attend will be greatly entertained and
we trust benefited. All are cordially
invited and we hope to be able to note
tie presence nightly of some Hood Riv-
critics. 1t won't hurt you, brothers, and
may do you world ofgood. Come and be
welcomed.

Wouldn't it be good idea if the road
supervisor on the Belmont and Method
ist lane roads would take account of
stock We think he would find an over
plus of goods that little exertion would
or could soon dispense with. Try it.

Mr.. Emerson is building himself a

the fruit all right until spring, then we
would be perfectly willing to relieve
him of any further responsibility.
