The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-04-28

j. Nj. Confer is newcomer, compar.
lively, to Hood River, who blesses the
day he heard Of Hood River. He came
from Missouri, looking for a climate
that would benefit bis heal@. He hap
pened to be in Sherman county, in
1902, and picking up q copy Of the Gla-
eier containing the announcement of
our biennial fruit fair to be held that
year, he came down TO see it. It didn't
take him long to make up his mind
that Hood River was good enough for
him. He went back to Missouri and
soon returned with bis family and pur-
chased the neat cottage and lot on River
street of s. M. Arnold. His health is
greatly improved, and he is only sorry
he didn't come to Hood River years ago 4
Mr.. Confer locating here was the means
Of bringing six or seven families of his
old neighbors who also are glad they
came. Four on five oth9s families will
follow sooner or later Mr.. Confer is
one of our most respected citizens and
we want more like him.
Miss Alice NJ. BAL Of The Dalles will
be in this city Saturday, April 80,
for the purpose OF teaching instrumental
music. Miss Ball comes to Hood River
highly recommended and will not only
render valuable aid to the community
as teacher, but also as an able musi-
clan, being at present member of Brig
fields orchestra and also being expert
enced in church playing and recital work.
She is at present teacher Of large class
of pupils in The Dalles, but her work

confning, she has decided to come to
Hood River day of each week and
while here to have her time pleasantly
employed with her professional work. .
Prosecuting Attorney Frank Menefee
with sheriff Sexton were down from
The Dalles, Friday, and accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff 0linger and Bert Strana-
han, they went to the MONT Hood set
tlement to gather evidence In the Ner-
man Williams murder case. Several
witnesses we're interviewed, bits of evil
dence gathered OF such nature which
cannot be- made public just now. Snow
still lies in the woods, which made
1t impossible to examine the premises
Of the homestead where the murder is
supposed to have been committed. Mon
day, May 90, is the date set for the trial
of Williams. To Glacier reporter Mr..
said there would be some very
sensational features DEVELOPED in the
of the case.
