,;. I'd chaw left Monday morn

CAPTAIN J.P Shaw left Monday morn
ing for Portland, where he goes to en-
ter the real estate business with form
er partner in this line OF work, II. +.
Gross of Oregon City. After Aprll ],
the captain will be "at home" at 233
Washington street in the Liable build
ing near Second, where he says Hood
River people will always be welcome
visitors. Shaw & Cross will make
specially of Oregon City real estate, Mr..
Cross having some extensive holdings
in that thriving Portland suburb,
including the Chautuaqua grounds at
Gladstone Park. They will also deal in
Hood River town and country property.
Being located in Portland, where most
of the buyers of Hood River realty come
from, Captain Shaw will be ina position
to do a great deal of good for Hood
River. Ever anxious to promote the
best interests of this town and valley,
the captain intends to retain his resi-
dence here and will make weekly visits
to the city on the Columbia.
David Irwin, who has been cutting
wood on G. e. Bowerman's place up on
Hood River, near James English ranch,
brought to town some evidences of pre-
historic times in Hood River. He cut
a pine tree that measured three teet IL
inches at the stump. The tree was
about l50 feet high. At from 40 to 80
feet from the ground the ends of the
limbs had been cut off evenly with an
ak. The cuts show great age, one limb
that had grown out over a cut was
about 15 inches in diameter, showing
that the ak had been used on the tree
more than 100 years ago. The tree
stood on level ground, away from other
trees, There is no way TO account for
the limbs being cut from the tree unless
it was done during deep snow. No one,
not even an Indian, would be likely to
climb 80 feet to cut off live limbs for
fuel unless the dead timber in the
neigh borhood was all covered with
snow.
We have heard OF thespians watching
their opportunity and "taking it afoot, "
but when it comes to school marms
"counting the ties" between Hood River
and Portland, a distance OF 65 miles, it's
a new one on us. Particularly so with
the Hotel Portland as terminus, as tie
walkers usually put up on the outskirts
of the city. But that is the outing
planned by the Hood River teachers for
the coming vacation, and among them
is Miss Julia Hill of this city. Presum-
ably their intent is to be in Portland
by the last of June to be present at the
meeting of the western division OF the
state teachers association. No doubt
these energetic pedagogues will proge
that they are as capable OF walking the
ti1s as they are of making their pupils
"walk the chalk. "-Chronicle.
The Woodmen of the World shadow
social was decided success, socially as
we'll as financially. About 140 we're
present and everybody went away well
pleased and well filed, for the commit
tees had we'll done their part Miss Ida
Brace won the cake for being the most
popular young lady in the hall, but A.
g. Staten made a failure of cutting it,
even if he did have TO pull off his coat
The bidding on the shadows was lively
and as there were no blanks, everybody
got his moneys worth and the pro-
ceeds will 90 a long way toward paying
expenses. The members wish to thank
their friends for their very liberal pat
ronage. The total receipts were S23.36.
In the article last week describing the
manufacture OF strawberry crates by the
Davidson Fruit Co. the reporters CHR
ography was too much for the devil at
the case and the word "cants" was tax
en- for crates, and one OF the sentences
made to say :"the crates are now boiled. "
1t is the blocks of wood from which the
hallocks are cut which are boiled or
steamed. At any rate, this little error
didn't ruffle the proprietor OF the tacto-
nv and he is satisfied his new method
produces a splendid berry box.
Chester Shute, who was sick with APP
pendicitis a month or so ago and re-
covered sufficiently enough to go to
work, was taken with a relapse, last
week, and Dir Brosius and Henry Shute
took him to Portland. He was operated
upon, Wednesday. successfully and Is
now in fair way to recover. The doc
tors say he will be able to come home
about the latter part of this week.
Harry Bailey finds his injuries more
serious than at first thought, and has
been compelled to resign as carrier or
r. F. D. No. /. Mr.. Bailey is confined
to his house, and unless he remain!
quiet suffers pain. He made splendit
carrier, performing his duties punctual
ly and carefully. Patrons of the mai
route will have difficulty in getting a
carrier as good as Mr.. Bailey.
Percy Shelley, who is conductor OF
the CITY & Suburban railway in Port
land, went to Sherman county last weel
to bring down his horses. He found
them too poor to bring down and was
compelled to let them remain until they
get in better condition. Mr.. Shelley re
turned to Portland Tuesday.
NJ. Muir Picken, representing the
Columbia River and Oregon Timber

Northwest, and appears to be enjoyinG
the prosperity its publisher, George Nj
Cornwall, deserves.
w. R. Hoole and C. L. Copple have
opened real estate office in the room
formerly occupied by Charles Temples
iewelry store. These gentlemen are
both we'll qualified for a business of thi
kind, and the Glacier bespeaks for thu
new firm fair share of the patronagu
of those who wish to buy or sell real es
tate.
