some LATE
DISPATCHES

By Grapevine Telegraph.
Mount Defiance, October 6, 1904
About three weeks ago q bachelor
who has homestead southeast Of Par
kertown quietly left for Spokane and
returned with handsome bride, who
has agreed to share his fortune and
help subduc the wilderness. The bride
and groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Caldwell, will
be "at home" after October 10, on
Motherhood Homestead" which is
finely located overl, oking the West
Fork OF Hood river with Mount Hood
at the south. The name OF their home
is suggestive and their host of friends
are unanimous in wishing that their
joys may be many, their troubles few
and "little ones"
There are still several bachelors left
in this locality, who should muster
up the necessary courage to follow this
brave leader, except that they need not
leave leave Hood River while we have
such promising crop Of bachelor girls
to select from.
One in this locality, with literary
turn and classical name has nice
farm, well titled 1t would make
one Of Hood Rivers progressive bach.
eor girls no end of happiness to locate
in this mountain retreat, help to husk
the pumkins, comb the old mans hair
with three-legged stool occasionally,
and ride to town behind old Major.
Then there is a rising young attorney
who has very desirable property in
this locality, who looks as lonesome as
the last rose of summer when he is seen
bucking out the stumps where he will
soon be gathering hundreds of bushels
of big red apples. This disciple OF Kent
and Blackstone, although of shy and
unasuming disposition, is clear and log
ical in his deductions, surely only needs
be retained in his own case to enable
him to plead successfully with frugal,
industrious bachelor girl. and she will
not boo-hoo about 1t much either.
There is still another who has lately
carried a way the highest honors Of his
class at one of the best seats of learning
in Oregon. He is born commander,
having won the gold medal as the best
drilled non-com. in the contest at his
CAhHls Ills ilCdI tllOet
mentioned in above dispatches. Here
is case of latent energy, undeveloped
resources, and it is plain, too that it is
an instance similar to Scott's Roderick
Dhu, whose "blast upon his bugle was
worth thousand men," But there is
evidence that there is hope in this case,
and that fair haired, blue-eyed dam
sci will give soon the bugle-call that
will arouse this young warrior and
cause him to rush to (her) arms with as
much ardor as the little brown men at
Laio Yang. One more favorable cir
cumstance is that they can secure from
his fathers stores provisions to supply
their matrimonial siege against long
hard siege.
Another young man just blossoming
into bachelorhood, is a distinguished
musician, has had an extensive exper-
ience as a hotel man, and with his knOwl-
edge of entertaining and catering tolhe
public, might easily convert his mountain
into famous summer resort.
It's Leap Year, girls, your last chance
for four years. II you ale as anxious to
help these young fellows out of the will
derness of Oh single cussedness as is the
Glacier to promote the interests of its
patrons, call and we will point them out
to you.

The young ladies Of the Pine Grove
neighborhood of the East Side arranged
last week to entertain the young men at
leap year party at the home.of Joe
Jarvis.
Now, It is generally supposed that
when leap year party is given, the
young women ask the men to accom-
pany them. But when it came to asking
their escorts, the young women got
together and deputized certain young
man TO go from house to house and
arrange for the men to accompany the
girls to the party,
The party was success nevertheless,
and the young men were equal to the
occasion, coming to the rescue like sir
knights of old. The young ladies should
remember though that a faint heart
ne'er won fair bachelor.

An Iowa boy wants to know how to
grow peanuts in that state. We do not
think It can be successfully done so
far as attempting to grow them as
field crop, the seasons not being long
enough or hot enough. There are many
years when lima beans, eggplant, mel
ons and other semitropical things
have a hard pull to mature, and we
should class the goober with them.
