A g RIOWER,


There was on display at last nights
reception an intere ting relic OF pioneer
days in Hood River--an American nag
made by the women of Hood River In
the summer of 1861. The flag was nat
urally the center Of attraction. II be-
longs to Captain II. G. Coe, who took
pride in telling OF the Fourth of July
when that banner Of freedom first wait
ed in the gentle breezes of Hood River.
In HE article on the early, .Lt@k--y &
uand Al nIs p;aar 'o,s n,.ii;sSad III ia the Glacier,
AAprpi q, 1908, Captain Coe says:
"July 4,l86l, Hood River held its first
celebration. The spot chosen was in
the large oak grove in front OF Professor
Thompson's residence, east OF the school
building. Hood River was then, rs 1t
always has been, intensely patriotic and
loyal to the union, and in those days po'
'i'cAl feeling ran high. 1t was deemed
necessary that we should have an en-
hlem of the Union to fly TO the breeze
My father was commissioned to see
about getting flag. So trip TO The
Dalles was made and material purchased,
costing 500, and sewed on a very Won
deriul piece OF mechanism--a sewing
machine, one of the first on coast. The
work of sewing the stripes together and
binding the same, cost $40 more without
putting on the stars, which WIS done by
the ladies' Of our neighborhood. The
flag was a beauty then, and is still so.
The colors are as bright as the day they
floated out on the breeze nearly ~ years
ago. Thirty-two persons all told par
ticipated in the celebration.
"'rbe day came near ending in trag.
edy. A certain young man, whom l
will not name, was unwise enough to
drink cold water toast to the Southern
Confederacy. A stone thrown into
hornets nest would aptly illustrate the
situation in that little gathering. In an
instant, 1t is needless to say, that young
man realized what he had done and
was glad to take Of his hat to Old Glory
and swear allegiance to the Union. The
trees still bear the marks Of where a
bower was built, and where our flag
pole was raised. The flag is now in the
hands of the Oregon Historical society
of Portland

Ton Many Missouri Berries.

1t has been case of too many Mis-
souri, berries during the strawberry
week just closing. The southern ber-
ries held OH longer than was expected,
and were Of better quality than usual
this year. As Mr.. Shepard, of the
Fruit Growers union explained, the
berries from the south were selling in
Omaha, second grades, at 40 and SO
cents crate, and better berries at rs
cents to 81. Ii costs from rs cents to 81
to ship Hood River berries to Omaha,
and coming in contact with an already
overloaded market it is plain to see
what the result is.
Missouri kept the Montana and Da-
kota markets supplied with berries this
year, and Mr.. Shepard says il it had not
been for the special train service this
summer, whereby Hood River was en-
abled to send so cars to Omaha and
other middle west cities, there would
have been so cars that would not have
paid the heavy freight charges TO the
northern markets, to say nothing Of
meeting the southern berries in the
north
Mr.. Shepard said reports from the
Eastern dealers Wednesday morning
gave more cheerful report, and indi.
cations are that the market situation il
clearing somewhat.

Takes Revenge on Her Rival.

Two squaws settled an affair of the
heart in true prize-ring style, Tuesday
afternoon, on Sherman avenue. 1t APP
pears that one of the dusky maidens
from the Yakima reservation accused
the other of stealing the affections OF her
brave and fearless "hiyu tillicum." The
one who thought herself thus aggrieved
sought to do her hated rival deadly in
jury. The aggressor was the larger Of
the two and would have no doubt sue
ceeded had there been no interference.
A war OF words in royal chinook pre-.
ceded the encounter. No time was lost
in sparring for an opening, and in a
minute blows were raining thick and
fast. The smaller one was holding her
own fairly well, until well-directed
blow over the eye stretched her limp
upon the ground. In a fury of rage,
the larger squaw, SO say those who saw
the encounter, grabbed her PROSTATE
rival by the hair Of the head and flung
her with awful force against a telephone
pole. The next minute she leaped In
the air and landed with both feet on the
body OF her vanquished rival.

Now that a start has been made tow
ard the organization Of Commercial
club, the Glacier earnestly hopes that
the move will be carried on TO success
ful end. This matter has been threshed
over time and again. Everybody rea-
Lies the need Of such An organization,
and the vast amount of good that can
result from the same, but heretofore,
there has been no one willing to take
the initiative in the matter, for fear he
would not meet with the proper sup
port. Business is pressing at this time
OF year to be sure, but let every man in
town arrange to attend the call meeting
at the Hassalo club rooms, Tuesday
night Don't say you are too busy. 1t
is only the busy man who can do things.
There are many important matters a
Commercial club should take bod uf in
Hood River this summer. 1t means
hundreds OF dollars to the city. The
club can't be organized too soon. Or
ganize it Tuesday night. BE there by
all means. Your presence means inf.
nitely more than promise to do any
thing "the others want" Doa't make
that kind OF an excuse. A few minutes
at the meeting Tuesday night mean
dollars in return. BE there. insis
that others come.

Berry, Growers Notice,

The railroad company requires all cars to
be loaded by 10 p. m, two hours earlier than
last year. Cars FOR both trains have to be
loaded at the same time, and the two concerns
cannot load the entire days shipment be-
tween and 10 O'Clock m. We therefore ask
you as personal favor to assist in preventing
the congested condition that may occur, with
your aid. BY this we mean that we desire to
have you start your last load from the pack
ing house SO as to reach us by p. m, or as
soon after as possible.
1t will be better TO do this and leave the last
few crates of your pack stand over In the
packing house where 1t Is cool until the fol-
lowing morning, than 10 have everybody
come with load arriving here after p. IN,
II all growers bring In their berries after 7
p. m, as they usually have done In the past 1t
will mean this season that perhaps large
number OF the days pack win lay over until
the following day.
owing to the trains moving so much earlier
this year, 1t may be impossible for either
concern to avoid holding over some berries
received after7 p. m. Your compliance with
this request will be benefit TO you and all
others, and be esteemed special favor by
the Union.

Marshal Fraley arrested a crazy man
in the country, Tuesday morning, who
had adopted the novel idea of running
up and down the road without stitch Of
clothing on him. The man gave his
name as Schmetzer, and said he was a
barber of Portland. He appeared sane
enough at times, but is what is known

influence is as crazy as loon. Schmelt-

was released Wednesday morning.
Two Indians were up before the Recor-

having been drunk the night before. As
they had no money, Recorder Nickelsen

and proved valuable addition to the

refused to do anythin at all. "Me cul-

been seen since, he evidently has obeyed
the order. Scott had been in the habit
OF associating with girls of tender age,
and the officers concluded the town
would be better off without this charac-
ter, 80 told him plainly that he wasn't
wanted here any more.
Scott figures prominently in a story
published about the Doherty case in a
sensational Portland paper last week.
Especial Officer" r. l.. Henniger ap-
pears as the hero, and an attempt is
made to cast reflections on the good
work of the Hood River police. The
facts are Henniger had nothing to do
with the case. He pretended to be O
very important parsonage, but the way
he left several men about town his
debtor, leads Marshal Fraley and Dep
! uty Sheriff Olinger to regard him as
email potatoes and very few in the hill
at that.
