He could bang all day at the FIRE from

BOYS MUST ANSWER
FOR KILLING STOCK

Thorval and William Nelson, sons of
Nels Nelson who resides four miles south
of this city, were placed under arrest
Monday morning by Constable Olinger,
charged by Emile d. West of wantonly
and maliciously killing cattle. The
boys spent the night in the city Jail, and
Tuesday afternoon, they appeared be-
fore Justice Nickelsen. On motion of
their attorney, A. A. Jayne, the exami-
nation was waived, and the boys were
bound over to appear before the next
term of the circuit court. Justice Nick
elsen fixed the joint bail at $1,000.
The cattle alleged to have been killed
by the Nelson boys belonged to Mr..
West, who resides on the headwaters of
Neal creek, about ten miles southeast of
the city. The boys were seen hunting
in that neighborhood last Sunday when
Mr.. West, fearing something might hap
pen to his cattle started in the direction
of the shooting. He found COW and
calf but recently shot, and when he fin
ally came upon the boys he says they
acted in a very suspicious manner.
Attorney Hartwig appeared for the
prosecution. A large number of wit
ness had been secured by the prosecu-
ton, and from statements made by
those who say they know something
about the case, evidence against the
boys appears unfavorable.
The Nelson boy are mere youths.
They appear to be about II and 10 years
old. The offence of which they are
charged is possibly more seaious than
the youths realize.

fire LEAVES HIM
ONLY HIS CLOTHES

Forest fires in Skamania county have
done no small amount of damage the
last two weeks, and the flames are
creeping dangerously near the settlers
in the Underwood neighborhood.
Last Thursday, Mailcarrier Haynes
had narrow escape on his return from
the Chenowith end of his route. Foi
half mile or so he says the flames
formed a perfect wall on both sides Of
the road. By Saturday the fires had
taken another trail and he was able tc
make the trip without mishap.
The next morning Amos Underwood
came over from the north side of the
Columbia and reported that two settlers
four miles down the river had lost their
houses and barn by the fires Thursday
night.
Charley Walthers, near the site of
the old Bothwick mill, was the heaviest
loser. His barn, wagons and tools,
chickens and one of his horses, with 25
tons of hay and 4 tons of grain went up
i'll flames. By hard work he managed
to save his house. His loss is esti-
mated at $500.
Mr.. Seely, neighbor, escaped from
the fire with nothing but the clothes on
his back, his loss included house, barn
and everything he possessed. Disheart-
ened, he boarded the train Saturday
morning for his fathers home at Pome-
roy.
For week or more the settlers at
Underwood lived in fear that the flames
would cross the Little White Salmon,
and sweeping east would consume every
thing in their path. All danger is not
yet past, but the flames have been con-
confined to the original burned district,
and it is hoped that further spread of
the fires can be prevented.

CITY SURE TO
HAVE SEWERS

A sewer system for the city of Hood
River is assured. The right of way for
the outlet through the land of Mr.. Hop.
kins between the railroad and the Co.
lumbia river was in the hands of the
OF the sewer committee at the meeting
of the city council Friday night. This
deed has been the obstructing stone for
two years or more, and now that it is
out OF the way the council proposes to
begin Immediately the construction of the
system.
Competent legal advice will be secured
to see that every step in the matter is
correctly taken, and if possible ii is the
intention OF the sewer committee to get
a great deal of the work done before the
heavy rains set in this fall. The street
committee was instructed to go ahead
with the work at once.
Shortly after the opening of the ses.
sion Friday night a petition from DR.
q. Brosius was read asking that he be
granted the privilege of occupying part
of Oak street with his buildings for a
period of six months while workmen are
putting up his proposed brick block
There was considerable discussion on
the petition, but motion to grant the
petition carried.
The prevailing idea was that DR.. Bro
ius might permit his tenants to occupy
the buildings in the street, providing
there was no serious objection from the
other property owners OF the city.
The street committee reported that a
water closet and barn on Lincoln street
were not on the property owners land,
and Mr.. Sloat, who wants to build near.
by, asked that the nuisance be removed.
The request was granted Marshal
Olinger was ordered to notify property
owner that the buildings be removed.
Ordinance No. "a, fixing the license
rates for trancient merchants, was read
a second time and passed.

Rushing Work ON Bone Ditch.

Bone Bros expect to have their East
Side ditch in condition soon to supply
water to the district west of the 0del
school house. The ditch is constructed
in sections from dukes valley north.
The work of connecting the different sec.
tions will not be completed in time tc
bring out water this summer, but every
thing will be in shape for the delivery Of
a full supply next summer.
Mr. Bone says he has a thousand
inches OF water running into the Odel
district, but he has secured sale fol
barely 200 inches. The farmers on the
other hand say the water came in SC
late this year that they prefer to wait
until next year before paying S. ar
inch for its use.
Mr.. Bone tells the Glacier he has had
great deal of trouble securings rights
of way for his East Side ditch. Inmany
cases he says he has run up against reg.
ular holdups. The farmers knowing
the ditch had to build through theii
lands, refused to accept ordinary prices
for the land, insisting instead on exor
bitant damages. The farmers would
talk of the necessity of water for their
crops but would lend little encourage
ment toward getting it onto the land,

SAYS APPLES WILL
BRING GOOD PRICE

G. R. Castner, member of the Hood
River Apple Growers union, tells the
Glacier he believes the outlook for good
prices for apples this fall is very encour-
aging. He says the union is receiving a
great many inquiries concerning the
crop to be handled by the union.
The board of directors met Tuesday
morning and decided to let the members
of the union arrange individually for the
purchase OF their apple boxes. A bid
was received earlier in the season to
furnish boxes at 8 cents, but the officers
of the box trust got word of it and the
offer had to be withdrawn. The David
son Fruit Co., it is understood, will have
plenty of apple boxes to sell at 10 cents
box,
The board of directors have ordered a
car OF duplex wrapping paper card board
and lining paper.
The price compensation OF apple pack
ers was fixed at five cents box for fruit
that will go 1913 and below to the box.
For apples over 128 to the box and up
to 200, the price is to be cents box.
The matter of teaching new packers
was left to the packers themselves. The
instructor will be paid for the work he
does, the beginner receiving no pay un I'll
he is competent of doing good work

NO HITCHING POST;
this MADE HIM MAD

Pine Grove, August %, 19O4.-Editor
Glacier; met my friend, Ike Sharp.
on the street last Saturday, and it was
plain before he spoke that he was mad.
Said he;
81 got into this town about half an
hour ago. and have just managed to
find a place to hitch my horses.
drove the full length of the town twice
and up and down most of the cross
streets, and finally had to unhitch my
team from the wagon and tie them
behind"
"Why," he went on, "there isn't 25
feet of hitching rack in this town that
can stand up any steadier than a man
with gallon OF whiskey in him, and
not half enough of any kind to go
round when the farmers all come to
town"
tried to soothe Ike by telling him
that it was thoughtlessness on the part
of the merchants, and "what is every
body's business is nobody's business, :"
but he wouldn't soothe.
That's no go' he replied, "the mer-
chants are always getting piece put in
the paper about the man who sends
away his cash to Steers, Rambuck &
Co., or to the fellow who pays the
freight, but it never seems to occur to
them that farmer can't afford to come
and trade with them if he has to bring
along one Of the big boys or the hired
man to hold the team, You see if he
leaves his team standing on the street
the marshal is ready to threaten him
with the law, and if he bitches to tree
he is threatened some more; and anoth-
er thing, whenever a wagon load of
trash accumulates about one of their
stores they bribe some fellow for a few
cents to haul it out about a mile and
dump it alongside the county road"
1t was clear that Ike was losing his
bearings and was becoming too unreas-
enable for any sober-minded man to
listen to any longer, so l wished him
better luck next time and hurried
around the corner to see whether my
own horses, which were tied to the
back wheels, had managed to eat up
the cushions. X.Y.Z.

Finds This Country to His Liking

J. II. Dunn, who came here last win
ter from Kansas for the benefit of his
wife's health, finds the climate agrees
very well with his wife, and he thinks
himself there is no place like Hood
River.
Mrs. Dunn was afflicted with asthma
before coming here, but is now entirely
cured of this disease. Mrs. Duna is not
yet well woman, but her health is SC
much better than it was in the East
that they do not think Of leaving here.
Mr.. Dunn thinks the water in Hood
River cannot be beat for purity and
fine quality. He thinks so much of the
valley, that last Saturday he called at
the Glacier office and subscribed for the
paper to have it sent to some of his
former neighbors in Kansas. He thinks
after they read about this fine country
through the paper that they too will
want to come West.
