Gessling Returns From California.

G.. j. Gessling returned Friday from
two months trip to Southern Califor.
mia. Mrs. Gessling accompanied him,
but went ON to Tacoma from Portland
where the boys spent the time with
their grandparents. Mrs. Gessling will
return the latter part of next week.
Mr., Gessling declares he has had 1
very profitable as well as enjoyable trip,
and that he doesn't believe he could
have made better investment of the
money his trip cost him. California is
great country he says, but for climate
and opportunities to make money, he
doesn't believe that country offers any
thing superior to Hood River, The pro.
gressive and law-abiding spirit so mani.
fest in the majority OF the California
cities, Mr.. Gessling declares is what
particularly attracted him.
His visit was made mainly to find a
location where he could go into business
and which would at the same time
afford good school advantages for his
boys. His son, Merrill, graduated from
the grammar grades of the Hood River
school this spring. He is but l3 years
old, almost too young to send away to
school, but with such poor facilities for
high school education in Hood River,
Mr.. Gessling says he will have to either
move or send his son away for schooling.
He has had BUSINESS proposition
offered him in Southern California, but
he is not yet decided whether he will
accept it.
"The people of California have a
progressive spirit which visitors from
Oregon cannot help admiring," says
Mr.. Gessling. "Colton, town no larger
than Hood River, spends more money
on improvements to one street than
Hood River does on all the roads of the
valley. The tax rate in that country is
30 mills, but the people say they are
getting the benefit of permanent i'm
proyements for their taxes, and they
pay them without grumbling. The
people there take pride In improve
ments. If a man builds fine house
he wants the street out in front to look
nice, too.
"Colton has a $4,000 high school
building, and full four-year Course is
taught.
"Another thing | found in Southern
California was towns where prohibition
prohibits. And those very towns are
the most progressive, too. Pasadena,
Long Beach and Riverside have no
saloons and no whiskey. The laws are
enforced and no whiskey is drunk there.
The drug stores do not sell it and there
are no blind pigs"
Speaking about the fruit crops in
California, Mr. Gessling says that in
the Pararo valley, in the Watsonville
country, Yellow Newtowns are but 20
per cent of crop. The farmers are at
loss to account for the shortage, but
say that during the blooming season
there were excessive rains and it is
believed that great deal of the pollen
was washed off the blossoms, The trees
put forth full bloom, but very little
of the fruit set.
The cherry crop in the Santa Clara
valley is very good in some parts but
very light in others. Prunes as rule
are II failure, but along the narrow
guage west of San Jose the crop is heavy.

Boy Is Entlced to Run OF.

Forrest Paxton left Hood River last
Tuesday morning in company with two
runaway boys from Milton and has not
been seen nor heard OF since. The boys
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. N. w. Paxton OF
KelsO, Wash, are eamped at Abbott 8
rawberry patch about a mile and a
half out Of town. Mr.. Paxton has made
two visits to Portland, and Tuesday
morning went to White Salmon, but
has heard nothing of his boy.
Mr.. Paxton can ascribe no motive to
his boys running away, except that he
was induced by the two boys who went
with him. These boys reached Mr..
PaXton's camp claiming they had run
away from Milton, Or. They gave their
names as Charles and John Kaufman
and their ages as Is and l5. Forrest
Paxton is II years old. The boys said
they we're running away from ignorant
parents with the determination TO get
an education before returning. The
larger boy, Mr.. Paxton says, looks 10
be l6 or II years old and is well deveI.
Oped for his age. The youth gives evi.
donCe OF being very sly and cunning.
He said his mother assisted him to
leave home and gave him $25, but il
has since been learned that these Kauff-
man boys stole $40 before leaving Mil.
ton.
Boosting about his escape, the older
boy said he bought ticket at one depot
and TO avoid detection walked eight
miles to another depot to board the
train.
Mr. Paxton made second trip IL
Portland Sunday. The police, whom
he had notified Immediately after the
disappearance Of the boys, could give
no information about the runaways.
Inquiry at the East Portland depot
showed they had not got off there. On
the way back to Hood River the conduc-
tor, who said he once had a boy run
away and could understand the anxiety
OF the father for his lost son, stopped
at each station between here and Port
land and inquired for the runaways,
but no one had seen them.
The boys, according to the station
agent here, bought tickets for Portland
on Tuesday morning. As nothing has
been heard of them along the railroad,
it is thought perhaps the boys only did
this for blind, and have not gone tC
Portland. Monday morning, Mr.. Pax.
ton crossed to White Salmon to see il
the bows had been seen there.

Hood River Nine Wins Again.

Two to 4.
Looks good, doesn't it, with the heav.
ier end carrying victory for the Hood
River nine? The Hood River boys can
play ball, that's sure. They play good
ball, too, and it will take something
better than the crack Schiller nine to
do them up.
Sundays game was splendid exhi'
bition of scientific ball. The manner
in which the lads in yellow stockings
handle the horse-hide sphere swells the
hearts of the Hood River fans with
great Jumps OF the essence Of true joy.
The Schiller nine from Portland, it is
said, felt confident OF leaving here with
good score TO their credit. They didn't
get all they came after, but went away
with the good will Of the Hood River
players and the Hood River people.
The Schiller boys are fine lot of young
men. They played good game, and II,
being the losing side they complained
at some Of the decisions, that was excus.
able.
The best player Of the Portland bunch
was without doubt their little short
stop, Hart. No better amateur player
for his position can be found in Port
land. In fact it is marvellous the way
he covers the ground. He isn't much
for size but he's great deal when it
comes to baseball.
"Fatty" Haynes was there. He
didn't waste an opportunity to "beef,"
but his efforts in that line availed him
little. There was good umpire on
hand. Haynes played his position as
we'll as any Of them. The way he
picked up grounders at first base wal
good to see.
Sheets did fine work for the home
team. He got in some well-directeC
hits, which helped TO make winning
score.
Johnnie Castner was noticeably in
the game. Most of the hits were made
in the infield, and Johnnie worked to
to advantage at second base, where he
turned the tide several times at critical
moments.
Dunbar was in fine form and pitched
q splendid game. lie had seven strike
outs to his credit. He, too, fielded his
position in manner most creditable.
Three putouts are credited to him.
The visitors got one OF their tallies in
the first inning. II was an accident
that they got it then. Twice there were
opportunities to corral the runner, but
the boys had hardly unlimbered and
the Schillers were one In the lead for
two innings. Hood River caught up in
the third inning and went two ahead in
the fourth, when Morse and Mahon
crossed the plate and stopped the scor-
ing for the remainder OF the game.
1t was pleasing game to see. Many
of the games at Portland this SIMMER
looked shabby beside it.
The score kept by Dakin and McCar-
ter shows the result in detail as follows

Glacier Advertising PAYS.

That Glacier advertising pays was
again plainly demonstrated this week
w. ]. Baker, who deals in real estate,
placed a three.inch ad in last weeks
Glacier, offering six-acre strawberry
tract for sale at bargain. He received
all sorts Of inquiries Immediately
ately after he paper was printed, two
coming from the Willamette valley, one
OF which came from II. w. Hayden, Nc.
Minnville, the other from g. Fl. Rob
bins, WOodburn. The place in ques
ton is known az the Schwartz tract, 9
part Of the old Coon farm. Since adver
tising it for sale, Mr.. Baker has sold the
land twice, once 10 Mrs. D. @. Marston
and the very saIne day to Mrs. T. J

Berries OF the Snow Line.

A box Of strawberries came TO the
Glacier office Monday that should take
the prize. The berries were grown
within nine miles of the snow line Of
Mount Hood, fact OF itself sufficient tC

they are the largest and finest berries
brought to the office this season. Twen

be careful HOW You bad.

In sitting women are guilty OF a
number Of sins of awkwardness. The
stout woman, for example, Invariably
sits squarely, with feet planted about
twelve inches apart and her toes turned
out
The lean, long legged woman, on the
other hand, winds her feet round the
legs Of her chair or else crosses her
legs and thrusts her feet out in front
of her.
Now, the stout woman should ''poise"
herself and sit very erect. The lean
woman should choose the highest pos
sible seat and plant her feet firmly on
the ground. thus reducing her excess
i've angularity.
The small woman also does some pc
culiar things. She either sits with her
small feet dangling in a helpless way
or perches herself on the edge of a high
seat, with the toe Of one foot touching
the ground and the other foot hooked
round the ankle of the first. Instead OF
aggravating the smallness of her stat
ure she should choose the lowest chair
in the room and sink gracefully into 1t.
But the greatest offender against this
physical art is the mannish girl. Her
very attempt to assume mans ease and
freedom is the cause Of her downffll.

Lighting the uounn.

In the lighting Of houses plenty Of
light judiciously shaded is what best
suits the majority Thcladea In artif-
cial lighting is to suggest the bright
ness and warmth OF sunlight within
the house walls. The only real sun
light color being pale yellow, this
should be used largely. It is far more
comfortable and more economical to
have the light down low, surrounding
and warming the occupants of the
room, than to have it standing out cold
and chill from distance The wax
candle Is untidy, and its light is not
practicable for reading purposes. but
for general purposes there is no purer
or softer light. Many women prefer to
have their drawing rooms underlight-
