est daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs, d. N.
Byerlee, and her little daughter, Georgia,
came in on No. Friday morning from
FROM Omaha to spend the summer. with
her parents. The train was three hours
late, on account OF wreck on the o.
s. l.. near McCammon, Ida. The wreck
was caused by broken hange on an en-
gine truck. The mail car was set as
sqdarely across the track as though done
with derrick, the baggage car was
turned'on its side beside the track and
the front trucks knocked from under
the smoker. The most remarkable
and fortunate thing is that there were
no lives lost, and no one seriously in
jured. The engine men were thrown
III such way as not to get crushed and
escaped with few bruises; the same
thing happened with the baggemen
after crawling out from under the pile
OF sample trunks and other baggage one
OF the baggagemen yelled to the other
"Billy, are ye hurted?" "Divil the
wan Of me, "he replied, and they pried
the door open and climbed out to help
take care Of the dead and wounded, and
seemed disappointed that there were no
casualties. "Il,r old road Is getting to
be cutus altogether Billy, said the one
who did the talking. 'Ifthis had hap
pened few years ago Ne'd have had a
rough house and dozen stsetchers and
lot Of saw-bones and arDica. Now we
come together and pile up as easy as If
we were on feather Deds and don't even
get drop OF the crather from the inner
gency' chest TO steady our nerves. Lets
go back to the den and have q smoke" +"

said few OF the passengers in the smok-
er we're slightly scratched and cut with
broken glass but none seriously.
Mrs. L. M. Benedict, state president
OF the Ladies Of the q. A. r., was in
Hood River for several days last week,
arranging for the meeting Of the state
organization in Hood River, June 10.
Mrs. Benedict thought she might estab-
lish circle Of the Ladies of the G. A.
r. in Hood River as part Of her mission
this time, but che found the W. r. c..
doing good work here and did not wish
TO do anything that might be consiered
antagonistic to the w. r; O., an organ
zation that is auxiliary to the G, A. II.
Mrs. Benedict is a very pleasant lady
and made many friends among the COM
rades of the Grand Army and the wives
and daughters Of the old soldiers. The
l.. OF G.. A. r., admits to membership
only the wives and daughters and sis
ters Of soldiers who served in the Union
army during the civil war, while the W.
r. G. welcomes tt its ranks all loyal
women.
The Glacier man was down at ]. r.
Nickelen's implement house Sat.
arday. He vas surprised to see such an
array Of vehicles and farming imple-
ments. Ma. Nickelsen has 100 feet
square on the corner OF Fourth and Co
lumbia etreets and has it under roof.
The half of this space is occupied by
Snow \ Upson's blacksmithing parlors,
where your horses tootsies are mani
cured while wait The other half is
full up to the neck with q strictly Al
stock OF every kind H farm implement
used in this part OF the country,
and some OF the neatest top-bug-
gies that trundle our streets. Johnnie
says he put four Of them on duty in one
day last week. He'e all right and
everybody knows it,that's why it makes
him hustle to keep full stock on hand
ut oil times.
u. z. Mathews, on River street, has a
two-story modern cottage almost COM
peted. II is 27xS3, and has an Acme
Hard Wall, redwood holdings and fac
ings, cross panel doors, both hinged and
sliding, and the wood work will receive
q hard oil finish throughout. The entire
house, even to kitchen, pantry and bath
room, is finished in the same careful
and artistic manner by the contractors,
Frederick & Arnold. II is sample OF
the neatest wood work we have seen in
a long while, and is abundant evidence
that these gentlemen are artists in their
line. The house when completed will
cost about $1,000.
The first fire OF the season occurred
Monday about noon, in the house occu.
pied by II. Wheeler. The fire caught
from the pipe or flue where it goes
through the roof. II was seen by Mar
shal Fraley just as it was starting and |
the fire department, consisting of Maltie |
Dukes and Ed Fewel, promptly respond
ed to his call for help. Ed boosted |
Maltie up on to the roof and soon had |
the bucket brigade in full operation.
That MIR. Wheeler has home to live in
is due to the fact that our marshal hasa
good voice for mnsh and milk and dhe
prompt efficiency of our fire department.
Ior there was brisk breeze, and little
ielay would have been fatal. As it was,
little damage was done.
