Loses Valuable Bear Hound.

"Old Drive" a valuable bear hound
belonging to Mordecai Jones, the Husum
bear hunter, met his death last week
from tussle with big black bear. Mr..
Jones regrets very much the loss Of his
faithful hound, who had seen service
for many years, and taken part in the
capture OF 20 bears.
Mr., Jones was In the city Tuesday the
guest Of Dan Mears. He was out hunt
ing last week with some friends from
Wales. The hunt proved too strenuous
for his guests and they gave up the
chase. Jones, who never turns back
when the dogs have scented bear,
followed the lead Of his hound. Dark
ness was coming on, but Jones got a
glimpse Of the bear as he was about to
disappear over the edge of steep and
muddy 'pot-hole "and firing for the neck
the bullet grazed the bears back bone,
and bruin came tumbling to the ground
Rushing into the thicket, Jones found
the bear very much alive, and with the
dog in his mouth the bear rolled on
on down the mountain side. Hurrying
on, Jones dispatched the bear with d
bullet through the head. The dog arose
with an ugly cash in his throat, and
shortly after he was siezed with VIC
lent coughing spell which bursted the
jugular vein and caused the dogs
death.
The bear was a monster. The hide
when dressed and clear of all meat
weighed 81 pounds,

SLOCOM,THE BOOKMAN
HAS A new LOCATION

While Slocom, the bookman, ar
nounced last week in his ad that he did
not intend to sing the new store song,
he has finally made his last move of the
season, and is now located in the Smith
brick on Oak street, where he has large
and roomy store, well stocked with all
that is latest in books and stationery.
Follow the cement sidewalk as he sug-
gests. 1t will lead to the big gold sign
on the window "Slocom You can't
pass it. Mr.. Slocom has received his
fall stock of books and stationery for the
holiday trade. 1t will pay you to make
an inspection of the stock There is
nothing like it in the city--nothing half
so dainty. All proper tints in note paper
and envelopes.
Mr.. Slocom began business in Hood
River about two years ago, when he
bought out the stock of L. r. Bradley.
Since then Mr.. Slocom says there has
been a steady increase in his trade, and
he is well satisfied Hood River is one of
the best towns in Oregon.
Charles Temple, the jeweler, occupies
part of the store room with Mr., Slocom.
Mr.. Temple has here fine display of
jewelry, and is kept busy attending to
the repair work given him. He adver-
tses in another column some very fine
souvenir spoons.

RAISE FUND FOR
RURAL CARRIER

Hood River, Or, Nov. % l904.-Ed-
itor Glacier: The committee which So
licited funds to aid in the continuation
of the mail service on rural route No. /,
finished their labors last Saturday, and
it is no more than right that the patrons
should be informed concerning the
method by which their money has been
expended.
II. C. Crockett, William Davidson,
Hans Lage and myself were the solicit
ors, and the total amount contributed
by the patrons was $lS9. OF this sum
$40 was collected in cash while on our
rounds; 81 Of the old fund which was
collected over year ago was also found
to be in the hands of Butler 4 Co.
A. j. Friedley was engaged to carry
the mail for one year on the following
terms. The salary allowed by the gov
eminent on routes of this length is
$6St. To this will be added SIG of the
patrons money, making the carrier S
salary $500 for the year.
At the end of the fourth month he
will receive l-l2 of the patrons allow
ance and so on thereafter to the end of
the year-three months pay being re-
served which will be forfeited by the
carrier ii he fails to fulfill his contract.
The remaining funds which were raised
will be expended, so far as needed, for
putting the mail wagon, which is in a
very rickety condition, in repair. The
carrier will then take care of the rig at
his own expense until his term expires.
Each of the solicitors failed to inter-
view few OF the patrons on his beat,
and as these will not likely care to get
their mail at their neighbors' expense,
it is probable that a few more dollars
will soon be placed in the treasury.

the funds, which are to remain in But
ler's bank, and in accordance with in
structiOns of the committee will be sub
ject to his check for the carriers salary
and the payment of repair bills ON the
mail wagon only. 1t was with reluct-
auce that each one of the committeeman
engaged in this business, but somebody
had to make move toward getting the
mail started again, hence our appear
ance before the public, As rule we
met with cheerful reception from the
patrons, and it is plain now the service
will never be discontinued for want of a
sufficient nvmber of persons who will be
willing to contribute a dollar towards
the sum needed to maintain it.
No one was found who did not wish
to have the service resumed at once,
but occNs onally man was met who
found II necessary to turn loose lot of
fireworks before he would contribute.
They would always assure us that they
didn't give d--n for the dollar, but
sand one, "there is something rotten
about the whole business;" another
cried "its a cinch" Another man
with a large crop of apples to sell de-
manded to know, where's this going
to stop2n and he pinched the dollar in
his pocket until the screams of the
eagle startled the poultry for a mile
around. One man assured me that If
Moody hau been returned to congress
carriers salaries would have been
raised to such a fine figure that none of
this begging won be necessary.
Just where the rottenness, the cinch
etc, etc, come in is hard to understand.
Carrier after carrier has tried this
route and every mau OF them has quit
in disgust and gone back to Saving
wood. y
1t was known to all that our late car
ries resigned two months ago, and if, be-
fore quitting, he had given a week s
warning there would have been no rea-
son to complain.
1t is not so easy to get this rural car
rier's salary business settled to the sat
isfaction of everybody, as some seem to
think. All money appropriations are
IN the hands of congress instead of one
man, and the sum set apart for rural
mail delivery has already reached an
enormous figure. The new routes which
are being established every day keep
the appropriations drained to the last

Apples Reach st. Louis in Good shape.

Joe Wilson, who was in Portland
Monday, was told by President Myers
and Mr. Giltner of the state commission
that the Hood River apples reached St.
Louis without bruise.
Jefferson Myers was at the fair when
the fruit arrived, and assisted Mr.. Gal
loway in placing the fruit on exhibition.
Three girls were secured 10 polish the
apples, each apple being taken from the
top layer, brushed up and packed in
again just as they left Hood River.
Mr., Myers says a sample of 20 boxes
were placed outside of the building
under wire screen, They attracted
great deal of attention, and started
great crowds into the horticultural
building to see the great display OF
Hood River apples.
Mr.. Wilson was informed that the
money from the commission in payment
for the apples will be in Hood River in
few days. 1t will he sent to the First
National bank and by them distributed
to the farmers who sold apples to the

bottom of Wilson'S reservoir. A l2-

ervoir holding l,000,0 900 gallons Of water
will naturally develop an immense
amount Of motor power.
The machinery Of the Touring mill
will be operated by water motors. For
each separate piece Of machinery there
will be a separate motor, thus conserv-
ing the water supply, and making it
much easier in closing down any par

cent.
Government affairs must Of necessity
move slowly, but nearly every year
since the beginning of rural free deliv-
cry has seen an advance in the carriers
salary.
A few have been known to say that
the present salary is high enough, but
there is no good reasNn under the sun
why rural carriers with team to sup
port should not receive as big salary
as city carrier who is not required to
own anything except the clothes on his
back, If farmers would pull together in
this matter, instead of being fearful lest
one OF their fellows should stumble onto
a soft snap, their influence would soon
place rural free delivery on a settled and
satisfactory basis.
Free mail delivery is a great boon to
the farmer, and it is hard to understand
why Hood River fruit grower should
expect some one to carry his mail year
after year without other recompense
than board and clothes.
