Until Monday, Feb. 10Th, Camden har-
bor was pretty well ice-bound. AS far as
Negro Island and out by the lodges it was
from seven to eight inches thick Hun
dreds of people walked out on the harbor
just for the novelty, as the harbor had not
been so frozen since 1875. Thursday, Feb.
18th, the ice in the bay moved out consid-
erably, leaving the harbor 'ice-bound, but
On Monday the sea caused by the easterly
snow storm broke it up pretty we'll, making
it clear up to the yacht railway and as
far as the lime kiln wharf on the western
shore. 1t seems quite remarkable that ice

err Wares order does not enlarge but
simply construes the act Of June 27,
1890, and its amendments, and closes as
follows:
"The amount the order will increase
pensions annually, and particularly when
the same shall become fully operative,
can be only roughly estimated There
are supposed to be living today about
$4,000 ex-Union soldiers of the civil
war. OF these are pensioned under the
act of July IA, 1862, known as the gen.
eral law, about 265, 900, and under the
act of June o. 1890, about 428, 900, ag.
gregating 693, 900, which, deducted from
the whole number of survivors, leaves
$4,000 who have not applied for pen
sion. To state definitely how many of
this number failed to serve the 80 days
and receive final honorable discharge, is
One-fourth seems fair es-
innate and reduces the number to 1876, 500
To cay that rs, 900 OF these have reached
the age OF 81 and will apply seems q
reasonable estimate. II these rs 1000 are
all placed on the roll at Sc a month or
$72 year, the output for pensions will
be increased So, ,400, 900 annually.
"The pension roll is diminishing rap
idly, owing to deaths OF benefciaries !;
and in all probability this decrease will
offset any gains caused by claims of SOL
diers to have reached the age OF 65 and
upward"
At a special meetingof Stansbury post
Ligonia, Ind, resolution was adopted
TO the effect that the new order of Com
missioner Ware was not acceptable as a
substitute for service pension, espec-
tally il it was intended to prevent fur
ther legislation. The roster OF the post
shows l76 members, of whom only two
would be benefited by the new order.

At the meeting Of the general commit
tee OF the G. A. r. encampment, Satur.
day, Hon. Il. l.. Smith suggested that
Hood River should have a large hall
suitable to accommodate large gather.
ings such as will assemble when the en-.
campment comes here, and which could
also be- used for our biennial fruit faiq
He believes building Of this kind
could yet be erected in time for the en-
campment. The suggestion was heart
lily favored by all present. Leslie But
Ter said the bank Of Hood River would
start q subscription for a convention
hall at 500. The cost Of putting up
the big tent for the horticultural fair
is becoming too great About 1000
feet Of lumber is required, and at the
present price Of lumber the cost, with
labor added, is considerable. The cost
OF building similar to the one at Glad
stone Park, with open sides, would not
be great. The sides could be inclosel
with canvass or kept open TO suit the
weather. 1t is hoped this proposition
will be agitated and given due consider
alton. With suitable building Hood
River would become a favorite conven-
ti0n town.

7tood RIVER Glacier.
THURSDAY. APRIL 28, 1904.

The report that another newspaper
is about to be started in Hood River
was In circulation last week. A rumor
Of this kind has bobbed up semi-occa-
sionally for the past two years. The
Glacier was informed of the rumor
Thursday evening by merchant and
good advertiser, who had been asked
II he would take advertising space In
the proposed new paper. The mer-
chant declined, saying the Glacier was
good enough advertising medium for
him. A Glacier man traced the rumor
to its source and found there was moth
Ing In 1t, as usual. Probably half a
dozen men In Hood River would like
to see another newspaper established,
but neither Of the half dozen men
would be willing to put up the cash
necessary to keep paper going. Mer.
chants and other business meE who
advertise do not want another paper.
They know that 1t would double their
advertising expense without the addI-
tional compensation. They know the
Glacier Is read by every family
In Hood River that reads paper.
And they know that new paper
could not hope to get the same num-
Der Of subscribers for years, and that
those II did get would be readers OF the
Glacier, SO there could be no excuse
to advertise In two home papers, es-
pecially none to advertise in the one
that had Its circulation to get. The
policy of the Glacier has always been
to treat all alike, to make friends, to
publish rs good paper as our income
will allow, and to grow better with
the increase Of patronage. The Glacier
has nothing to fear from competition
no long as II adheres to this policy.

The New Pension Order.

The pension bureau is now sending
out the following letter; explanatory o
its Interpretation Of the new order:
"In response to your attached com
munication, you are advised that unde
the provisions Of section Of the act o
June 27, 1890, as amended by the act o
May 8, 1900, any officer or enlisted MAJ
who served 80 days or more in the army
or navy OF the United States during tht
late war Of the rebellion and received ar
honorable discharge therefrom, may bt
entitled to pension as such, provided
he is now or may hereafter be suffering
from any mental or physical disability
or disabilities OF a permanent character
not the result Of his own vicious habits
which so incapacitates him from the per
formance Of manual labor as to render
him unable TO earn support.
'In the adjudication OF valid claims
under said acts, it is taken and consid
cred as an evdential fact, II the contrary
does not appear and'if all other legal re-
quirements are properly met, that when
claimant has passed the age of 62 years
he shall be regarded as disabled one-hali
in ability to perform manual labor and
may be entitled to the minimum rating
Of S6 per month after 65 years of age, tc
IS per month; after 6S years OF age, tc
$40 month; and after 70 years Of age
TO the rating Of sl2 per month.
A declaration stating that the claimant
is 62 years Of age; 65 years; 6S years, or
70 years, as the case may be, is suffi-
cent allegation in cases of this kind,
even II no other disabling cause is set
forth, but in all cases the exact date OF
birth should be stated.
allowances under said act at a high
er rate, not exceeding $l2 per month,
will continue to be made as heretofore,
where disabilities other than age show a
condition OF inability to perform manual
labor, but in no case can pension exceed
$l2 per month, which is the maximum
rate of invalid pension provided for in
said acts and is not subject to increase
for any cause.
81 his ruling will take effect April 13,
1904, and shall not be deemed retroact.
I've. The former rules of the bureau
fixing the minimum and maximum at
10 and 70 years respectively are accord
ingly modified as above
Pensions granted under the provi-
sions Of section Of the act of June 27,
1890, as amended, whether affected by
the late ruling or not, are not in addi-
ton to pension allowed under any other
law, as the law prohibits the payment
OF more than one pension to person for
the same period"
This settles one point, about which
there has been some anxious question
ing; the amount Of proof that would be
required for age. This says that mere
statement as to age, accompanied by
exact date OF, is all that will be required.
In his letter to the senate secretary
Hitchcock inclosed letter from Acting
Commissioner OF Pensions Davenport, in
which it was affirmed that Commission.
