COMPANY STANDS FIRM.


At the conclusion of Mr.. Mahon's ar
gument, it is authoritatively stated, the
company declined to make a reply, but
it is said agreed to again meet the rep
resentatives of the Garments Union on
Monday to hear whatever further they
had to say.
The attitude of the company. is taken
to mean that the reply of Manager
Chapman to the recent lengthy state
ment issued by the Garments Union is
the final declaration of the attitude of
the United Railroads in the contro-
versy and that no concessions will be
made the carmen. That a strike is now
even more probable than hitherto lis
generally the belief of those in close
touch with the real situation. despite
the hopeful feeling Expressed by the
officers of the Carmen's Union.
The conference came to a close at
4:3o O'Clock David Young then pro-
ceeded with Mr.. Mahon to the apart
ments of the latter in the Grand IIo-
tel, where brief conference was held,
the nature of which. was not made pub
lie.
HOPES FOR SETTLEMENT.
"We are very hopeful of adjusting the
difficulty peaceably," said Mr.. Mahon
last evening. AT the conference to-day
we presented the justice of the con-
cessions asked by the carmen, and were
accorded very pleasant reception by
the officials of the United Railroads.
The conference was adjourned until
Monday, when further consideration of
the difficulties will be had. Beyond
that there is nothing of Importance to
divulge."
Are you hopeful of an amicable set
tlement?" was asked.
Yes, we are replied the interna-
tional president. 1T is my belief that
both sides are anxious to get together
in the matter and avoid further COM
plications--at least that is the purpose
of the carmen, and am sure the Off
Gals of the United Railroads are dis
posed toward peace. AS the situation
now stands, there will be nothing done
by either side until Monday"
Manager Chapman declined to dis
cuss the conference, stating that there
was nothing the company cared to
make public.

WHY Not Laugh?

A good old man in the dumps once re-
marded "Man, that is born of woman
is of few days and full of trouble" He
told the unvarnished truth, but it seems
to philosopher that it would in meas.
ure mitigate the evil to look at it with
the eyes of an exchange which puts it
thusly:
"Man is a funny little'cuss, and hasn't
long to stay, he flies around and makes
fuss, and then he hikes away. Some
men imagine they are great, and try to
tear up Jack, but each one meets the
same old fate and trots the same old
track. Great Caesars dead and turned
to clay and so is Cicero and Alexander's s
gone the way the rest of us must go.
The sages heroes, poets all the men Of
wealth and worth, into an open grave
must fall and crumble back to earth.
Then let's not Join the mad affray,
and struggle like the deuce, and agonize
our life away, for, really, what's the use?
Let's live and love and sing the while
and work some now and then, and
give to every one a smile that cheers the
hearts of men. And whether we are
crowned with flowers or chilled with
winter SHOWS. with happiness let's fill
the house, ere we turn up our toes.

Gatzert Did Refuse Spencer Aid.

Portland, Or, Sept. 29, 1904. Editor
Glacier: On September l5, your paper
contained an article headed, "Corrects
Erroneous Report" in which you print
the correspondence that passed between
the two boat companies and the United
States local inspectors, relative to the
Gatzert's refusal of aid to the Spencer
as a correction to the report that the
Gatzert refused to give the Spencer a
pull when requested.
do not see in what manner this cor
rects it or shifts the responsibility. The
feet still remains that aid was refused
without any excuse, further than the
Spencer being rival. AS to the inspec.
tors clearing them, their answer to me
was that since aid was requested "a
hours after the accident it did not come
under their supervision.
Our somewhile friend, Manager
Campbell, evidently forgets few Incl
dents in his anxiety to Correct Erron-
e0us Reports" and impress the public
how willing he was to lend the helping
hand to the Spencer while in trouble.
Perhaps he would care to explain this.
While the Spencer was on the beach it
became necessary to have capstan,
which was sent for and delivered to the
Regulator line dock in Portland, at GAO
a. m. on the morning of the departure
of the Dalles City, and part of it loaded,
when II. G.. arrived, and upon ascertain
ing to what use the capstan was to be
put, ordered it brought ashore and put
in the warehouse. The capstan had to
be brought up to The Dalles by rail and
hauled back to Rowena by wagon, caus-
ing the delay of one day. Yours truly,
CHAS. r. SPENCER.

Packages For Apples.

The relative advantages of barrels
and boxes as packages for fruit were
given thorough discussion at the recent
meeting of the Western Horticultural
Society. The advantages of the boxe:
are chiefly, that they can be made and
obtained more easily and cheaply, and
that fancy fruit generally sells for
higher price IN them as it can be packed
solid in nice even rows like oranges
also the export trade is accustomed tc
this kind OF packages and it sell more
readily and for a higher price abroad.
The principal disadvantage is that il
requires an expert packer to put IN
fruit in this way. 1t is also true that
there is practically no opportunity tc
work in uneven or poor fruit in a box
1t depends on the point of view whether
this i to be classed as an advantage OF
a disadvantage.
As to barrels, they are increasingly
expensive and difficult to get, and II

Northwest News Notes.

A peculiar feature of the attendance
at our public schools this year is the
fact that a decrease in the number OF
pupils in the lower grades is noticeable,
while the higher grades are overcrowd-
ed, says The Dales Chronicle The
opposite to this is usual. Each day
shows an increased enrolment and at
present 7O3 are registered.
A Santa Rosa, Cal. dispatch says
Emil Weselsky of Ukiah has broken all
hop-picking records. In one day be
picked ll48 pounds, earning $l1. .4S. The
best pickers average about 200 pounds
daily.
Grass Valley, Sherman county is pre-
pairing to erect Catholic church.
The assessable property valuation in
Crook county has increased nearly 81

The action of the county court Of
Umatilla county in refusing to lower

MOsier Taking Interest In Fair.

II. c. Bateham, who was in the city
from Moser last Thursday, says the
people in the neighboring community
to the East are manifesting much inter
est in the coming Hood River Fruit fair.
People up there have some very fine
fruit and vegetable specimens, which
they believe to be the equal of anything
produced in the state, and they propose
to prove it by sending a good sized
exhibit to the fair.
Business appears to be so rushing
with Merchant Stewart at MOsier that
he finds it impossible to furnish news
to the Glacier as he formerly did. The
Mosier readers have missed the weekly
news letter from that bustling settle.
ment, so Mr.. Bateham has kindly con-
sented to assist in gathering the news.
This means that the outside world will
know what the Mosier people are doing,
and if his neighbors will kindly assist
in giving him the news, the Glacier will
feel grateful for their kindness, and will
do all it can to make an interesting
department for the Mosier readers.

Was Determined To Have That Fish

The latest improvement at Wau-Guin-
Guin, Robert Rand's popular pleasure
resort, is the trout pond. Mr.. Rand
has damned up the old channel where
Phelps creek formerly went over the
cliff, west of where the hotel stands,
turned in water from the creek, and
thus formed trout pond of about an
acre in extent. He has provided an
outlet, so> that there is continuous
stream of fresh water running through
the pond. Mr.. Rand has caught about
$50 trout from the creek and put them
into this little pond. Throw a grass
hopper into the middle of the pool and
there is great rush and the speckled
beauties come jumping clear out of
the water, two or three at time, in
their eager race to catch the hopper.
They tell good fish story on Mr.
Rand. One day while fishing for trout
to put in his pond, he caugh fine one,
the largest he had yet caught, and at a
place where it was difficult to land him.
Just as Mr.. Rand got the trout fairly
out of the water it became disengaged
from the hook and fell back in the water
and brush roots at the edge of the bank,
Mr.. Rand propped quickly face down
to the edge of the water ana snatched
the fish from the water, holding it
against his breast with one hand while
with the other he endeavored to pull
himself back from the creek; but the
bank at that place was SO sloping that
the more he squirmed and struggled to
get away the further he slipped down to-
ward the stream. Nor could he make
any one hear so as to gain their assist
ance. Finally catching the bushes as
far up the bank as possible he managed
to turn around and make his way up
the slope, saving his fish at the expense
of pair OF very wet feet. Mr. Rand
says it doesn't matter much as it was
about the time of the year when he usu-
ually bathes his feet anyway.
The matron at the Union depot, Port
land, recently presented Mr.. Rand cut
ting from what is known in some parts
of South America as the Rose tree. 1t is
a very peculiar tree, having growth on
limbs resembling roses carved out of
the wood. The specimen Mr.. Rand has
is about 3 inches in diameter and one
inch deep in the center. 1t is quite an
acquisition to Mr.. Rand's already we'll
filled museum.

WILL COME TO
HOOD RIVER

o. J. Fryklund and P. Olesen of Clo-
inspection OF Hood River and the valley,
express themselves delighted and sur
prised beyond measure at the varied re-
sources, beauty and evident healthful-
ness of the valley, the manifest energy
and thrift of both town and country, and
the delightful climate OF this section.
"Why, at home" said Mr.. 0lesen, eve
are all wearing our overcoats now"
Mr.. Fryklund says he has travelled
extensively in Norway, Sweden, Eng
land and in many states of the Union
and states emphatically that ne has
never in his life seen locality which at
once combines such wonderful resources
with so much natural beauty and such
invigorating, health-giving climate, and
the best part oft, he says, is that your
resources have hardly yet commenced
to develop. He said he had heard of
Hood Rivera great deal about the val
ley-but with the pretty heather queen
who made goo-goo eyes at King Solo
mon, must remark that "the half has
never been told"
The gentlemen returned to Minnesota
Friday, but Mr.. Olesen will be back in
Hood River the first of the year with
his family, as he has filed on a claim,
which he will at once improve. Mr..
Fryklund will also return to Hood
River in the spring with a number Of
immigrants who, we understand, are
awaiting the result of Mr.. Fryklund's
investigation.
These gentlemen wish to thank the
many citizens who met them so cor
daily and especially Robert Rand, who
entertained them at hotel Wau-Guiu-
Guin, the beautiful views from which,
they think cannot be surpassed in the
country.
The Glacier gladly welcomes the new
comers. They are sturdy, energetic,
enterprising class of men, such as will
in every way make Hood River valley
richer and better for their being in it.

Will Tell Astorians OF Hood River.

Ii. s. Lyman of Astoria, superintend.
ent of the public schools of Clatsop
county, was in Hood River last Thurs
day. Mr.. Lyman is touring Eastern
Oregon, and expects on his return to
give the readers of the Astoria News an
account of what he saw and learned
here.
Mr.. Lyman says while the city Of
Astoria secures large sums of money
from the fishing and numbering indus
tries, the population supported by these
industries is not equal in comparison to
the most diversified industries of Hood
River. 1t is his intention to get the
people of his city and county interested
in something that will attract and sup
port a larger population.
Mr. Lyman was one time resident oi
White Salmon, some 20 years ago. He
comes through here occasionally, but
saws he sees many changes each visit
