The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-02-25

r.. E. HARRISON finds the Glacier a
good advertising medium. At one time
he advertised a piece of land for a
neighbor The first man to reply tc
the ad bought the land, and replies
kept coming along after the ad was
taken out. Among the latter came q
proposition from newspaper in the
East, with Mr.. Harbison's ad cut from
the Glacier, Offering to run the ad for
number of months at a very low
price. Another neighbor desired to sell
some land and asked Mr.. HARRISON to
advertise in the Eastern paper. He did
so but failed to find buyer.
Lyman Smith is firmly convinced that
it pays to advertise. About six months
ago he lost valuable gold ring, keep.
sake in the family. He put little no.
tice in the Glacier advertising his loss,
which ran its four weeks at cost of 25
cents. The ad was taken out and the
circumstance nearly forgotten by Mr..
Smith, until few days ago he found
the ring himself in his woodshed. He
says he couldn't have been better pleased
if he had found 500 gold piece instead.
A slide on the O. R. & N. track near
Wyeth, Sunday night, delayed the late
passenger train about five hours, and in
stead ofpulling in at 1855 it didn't get
here until 8 O'Clock in the morning. This
is an uncommon occurrence this year.
In fact since the Improvements which
removed the track from the path of
the slides were made, the company has
experienced but little trouble between
here and Portland.
The farmers who held their hay this
season for higher prices have failed to
realize their expectations. For awhile
in the early part of the season it looked
as il prices would be very high, and in
fact prices did go up, but the unusually
mild winter has changed the exp eta
tions of those who were looking for a
high spring price. There will not be
the need for hay on account of the lit
tie feed required to carry stock through
the winter.-Pacific Farmer.
