months the war correspondents have

to reach the firing line. There seems
in this war, to be all the difference in

Old Soldiers eat Christmas Dinner.

Christmas day Judge l.. Henry and
Frank Noble, accompanied by theil
best girls, made flank movement on
their old comrade, II. ]. Byrkett, and
captured his home fort. But their at
tack was not so disastrous to Mr.. Byr-
kett as the late japanese assaults on the
forts at Port Arthur. His commissary
was loaded to the muzzle and II. j.
surrounded his visitors and kept them
prisoners until they were willing to sign
q treaty of peace.
They ate and drank (army coffee, of
course,) recounted thrilling incidents of
'6l to '65, until they were too full for
utterance. Everyone taking part in
the engagement declares it was a glo-
rious victory of man over matter, but
there are those who think the victory
was on the other side, for when the at
tacking party retreated to the pleasant
living room of Mr. Byrkett's castle the
commissary department gave them the
laugh and seemed able to sustain a
number of such attacks.
OF course, Mr. Byrkett would never
tell poor devil of printer anything of
good item like this, but the Glaciers
war correspondent got on just the same,
and with all other patriotic citizens is
glad to wish these "old coffee coolers"
many happy returns of the day, and
that to them every day may be Sunday
except Christmas and July 4, and that
these days may be something better.
1t is little enough for the heroes of '65.

Santa Clans Visits the Pnnils.

Friday afternoon number of patrons
and friends gathered in the different
rooms of the school on Hood River
heights to listen to the program rem
derdered by the pupils and enjoy the
occasion. Afternoon the children has
tened back to the school house almost
wild with delight for behind locked
doors, awaiting the hour, stood Christ
mas trees, heavily loaded with presents
for the little ones, which presents were
duly distributed after the programs were
ended.
The room occupied by the ninth grade
was beautifully and artistically decorat-
ed for the occasion, and looked its very
best, The program, in which all par
ticipated, was listened to by an appre-
ciative assembly of fathers and mothers.

Pleasant and encouraging words we're

with handsome present and wishes for
merry Christmas, then in a rousing
way rendered the "class yell".

Harner May Loose His Arm.

George Harper, an employee of the
Menominee Lumber company, missed
the afternoon train for Portland, Mon.
day, and was forced to spend another
night in agony before he could get to a
hospital for relief from serious case of
blood poisoning in his arm.
Harper is member of Prosser a
Cameron's lumber camp, 16 miles up
the White Salmon, and was telling trees
one day last week, when long silver
from the stump of a tree became inn
bedded in his arm. Fellow workmen
endeavored by the use OF jacknife to
remove the piece of wood. They got
about half Of the splinter out, and had
to leave the rest in the flesh Of the arm.
Harper went on with his work, but
in two days the arm swelled to the size
Of his leg, and his suffering was agony.
He left Tuesday morning for Portland,
for an operation in Portland hospital,

WITHDRAWS OFFER
TO SELL CITY WATER

Joe Wilson has filed notification with
Recorder Nckelsen Withdrawing the
proposed ordinance in which the city
was to contract for water for fire protec-
ton at 81 per hydrant per month,
When seen by Glacier reporter to
ascertain the why of the withdrawal,
Mr.. Wilson said he had waited long
enough for the council to act on the
matter. He says he has already been to
an expense Of 500 with the expectation
that the city council would sign up the
contract, but with no assurance that
the council intended to do so, although
they have had six weeks time to close
up the matter, he feels that he doesn't
care to advance any more money on an
uncertain project and has called off his
offer.
"They can never get another 81 a
month offer from joe" remarked Mr..
Wilson, rs he closed the conversation.

The city Of Hood River will have a
new sewer system to build next year,
and 1t behooves the committee in charge
of the work in the city council to pro.
ceed with care. There will be opposi-
tion to the sewer, and doubtless lawsuits
to contend against. Down at Ashland
they have just gone through similar
proceedings, and the city lost the case
on the following grounds;
"First-The council failed to give
proper notice and was therefore without
Jurisdiction.
"Second--In making the assessment
the ordinance shows no discretion or
discrimination as to the amount OF ben
efits.
"Third-A 10 per cent penalty Is not
authorized by the charter or statute.
"Fourth-'The descriptions are too in
definite for the purpose Of levying an
assessment"
The decision nullifies the assessment
of 100000,

Look for the Flashes.

If any repairs have to be made at any
time to the machinery in the power
house of the Electric Light company
the manager has adopted q code Of
flashes to notify those using lights that
they may expect them to 60 out for q
minute or two.
For stops not to exceed ten minutes,
there will be a signal Of one FASH for a
stop from ten minutes to half an hour,
two flashes for an indefinite stop, three
flashes.
Manager Chipping does notexpect any
serious difficulties, but there are always
times when the machinery will need Il
little touching up and the lights will
have to be turned off for that time. Get
your lamps ready when the signals are
flashed.
The cold weather is on now, but the
manager says the water will be kept
running in the tlume at all hours OF the
day, and in this way no ice will be
allowed to accumulate, and stop the
power wheel, as has happened hereto.

the discussion OF the fine points in the
wording OF motion to keep wormy APP
pies out of the markets, but the matter
was finally left to the appointed COM
mittee for final settlement. The sense
OF the motion adopted was that wormy
apples shall not be sold in the markets
of Oregon.
Mason said he would even prohibit
the sale of wormy apples in the stores OF
Hood River. "While there will be
those who will not agree with me on
this" continued Mr.. Mason, "if a man
will stop 70 think about it, he can see
that by buying fve-tier apples for 81 or
less boy he is getting more for his
money tlfs& when he pays go cents for
box of wormy apples. The favor Of
wormy apples is spoiled in month or
so, and by the time you cut out the
worm hole and the decayed portion,
there is very little left. A good, clear,
sound apple, even if it is small, is pref.
cradle to large wormy apple full OF
worm holes"
E. H. Shepard, manager of the Apple
Growers union, would prohibit the
sale of wormy apples entirely. There is
no money in them he says. By the
time they are placed on the market,
there is only l3 cents left the grower to
pay for picking, packing and hauling to
town. This leaves very little if any
net income. Poor apples invariably
lower the price Of good apples.
J. l.. Carter desires such law. He
believes it will stimulate the product
ion of more perfect frnit. With Mr..
Carter it is with compunction OF con-
science that he offers box of wormy
apples for sale.
Peter Mohr remarked that visitors to
Hood River have told him that the
poorest apples in the world are found
at eating houses in this city.
The nurserymen who sell trees un-
true to name came in for grilling, Ma
son, who has met with serious financial
loss from the work of nurserymen, is
anxious to make such offences a crime
punishable by penitentiary term, but
Attorney Jayne considered this view too
radical. He is of opinion that the
present laws will permit the grower
who has been duped to collect damages
Box size was discussed selling of APP
pies from nedistrict under name OF an
other, and the seriousness of battling
with the San Jose scale. Among the
resolutions passed were the following:
That there be county fruit inspectors;
That wormy apples be excluded from
the markets;
That the nurserymen shall give
bonds to sell trees true to name;
That the special and standard boxes
be made the legal apple box of the state
and that the use OF other sizes be Fro
hibited;
That some effort be made to prohibit
fruit of one community being sold under
the name of another.
Mr., Mason, just before the close OF
the meeting, stated that the Davenport
Bros. Lumber Co. had made an offer
to the growers of the valley to furnish
apple boxes at So cents each, provided
the company could secure orders for
5000.
On motion of Mr.. Shoemaker, com.
mittee was appointed, consisting OF Mr..
Shoemaker, Mr.. Staten and Mr. Porter,
to confer with the Davenport Bros. and
see what arrangements can be made to
secure boxes at q cheap price.

The debate last week by the High
School Literary Club has stirred up
considerable feeling on account Of the
subject discussed, and especially the
decision rendered. The subject chosen
was not q proper one for discussion
among school children, and it was an
error to allow question of that kind to
be discussed. School children are not
supposed to be well posted on the ques-
tion Of saloons and as far as they are
concerned, there should be but one side
to the question, i. g., against it. There
are plenty Of good subjects to be chosen
for debate that will call forth much
better effort in argument, and which
can be debated In good faith by both
sides.

which lasted over an hour and was

be the best Christmas entertainment
ever witnessed by them. Santa

drill. Much praise is due both Mrs.
