NEW MONEY ORDER
Express Company Has New Device for
 Convenience of Travellers.

Wells-Fargo & Go. has adopted and placed on sale at it's principal offices a new travellers money order. It is especially designed for the use and ac- commodation of it's patrons who in tend to travel in this country or abroad, it being arranged so that the orders themselves furnish the identifi- cation of the holder. They will be cashed by all express companies, ac- cepted by banks and merchants every where and paid by it's representatives and agents throughout the world, without discount or exchange.
 The orders are neat and attractive in appearance being printed from steel plates on the same paper as the regu- lar express money orders, containing the same water mark Wells Fargo & Cos Money Order" and also a surface mark of pony rider
 They arc issued in denominations of s1O, $2O, $50. s1O0 and $2OO. Each de- nomination being of a different color.
 The face of the order shows the eX- act amount and kind of money that will be paid in the various countries where a standard of monetary value prevails, and in all sother countries where the value of money fluctuates
 
 payment will be made at the current rate of exchange by it's correspondents and principal agents. The orders will be accepted by the principal railroad and steamship companies for trans portation, and by hotels and merchants iH payment of accounts. Travellers thus avoid the inconvenience and de- lay caused by making special trips to banks, especially before or after busi- ness hours. or on holidays and Sun days.
 The cost of the order is merely nominal, and the face value of all un- used orders together with the fee paid foc same, will be refunded to the pur- chaser at the office where purchased at any time within one year from date of sale.
 The Phoenix office has received q supply of travellers money orders and persons contemplating a trip to any part of the world can now get fixed up with the latest wrinkle.

THE PARACHUTE MAN.
His Queer Sensation Upon His First
 Ascension.

Come on! the bands all ready
 was met with roar of applause as I ran down the hotel steps. The band blared in salute, and the crowd opened for me as I hasteneI. The parachute was stretched out from the stra'ni1g balloon. AS the man with me snapped the hooks on the ring he showed me where the ropes were hung and told me how to pull it when cutting loose. He was the excited one. A bitter in- difference filled me as I looked at the ugly, swaying monster which was to beer me to affluence or death.
 Let her go!"
 With a cleaving of the air and a rush of sound like the coming of a cyclone the balloon shot upward. I ran for the bar. grasped it and scared.
 I tried to swing up on the bGr, but the rush of the ascent straightened me like an iron rod. I thought my arms would be pulled out. A sickness came over me. comparable 10 the start of a high speed elevator. Then the motion became more easy and I swung up on the bar. I was accustomed to gazing down from heights and felt no fear as stared at the fading crowd. I could see them waving hats and hands; could hear the band playing; and was col- scious of a pleasant dreamy sensation, and of a steady. easy rising from the ground. I ventured to bend "crab" and make a few ankle drops" It was as easy as when I was only a few feet from the ground. I glanced down again. The crowd appeared smaller and seemed to be walking away from me. I had commenced to drift. Now was the time to cut loose. I wished that might stay where I was-taking chances with that limp bag of para chute did not look safe. But it had to be done.
 I caught hold of the rope. braced my self on the bar, and gave short, hard pull.
 Whish-my breath left me, For the first time fear-deadly fear entered my heart. A jerk that nearly unseated me, and I was again sailing pleasantly through space. ventured to essay a few more ad- ditional feats as the ground seemed to more closely approach me and then I commenced to calculate as to the man.

PHOENIX vS. GLENDALE
Two Team Will Cross Bats at Eastlake

Glendale will take another try at the local aggregation next Sunday at East Lake park, hoping to get even for the drubbing they received last Sunday. They claim that some of their best men were not on hand to partici- pate in the game. and they intend to have these men for this coming game and cannot see how they can possibly lose with the aggregation they have gotten together. In the meanwhile the Phoenix bunch are laying low, saying that someone is going to lose and they do not intend to be that one.
 Donovan and Loman will be the bat tery for Phoenix. Donovan is in great shape now and should, with anything like support, win his game.
 Wemp and Lyle will be the battery for the Glendale crowd. Captain Bartlett of the Glendale team says he has Wemp safely corralled this time and that he will surely be in the box Sunday. The game will be called at 2:3O.

G. f. Waldo was over from White
Salmon Saturday. Mr.. Waldo says the
people ON the fiat at White Salmon are
determined to secure irrigatipg water
A meeting of interested citizens was
called the first Saturday in this month,
at which time a committee consisting
of Mr.. Clyde, who is an engineer, r.
Adams and Captain Cook was named
to investigate the various sources from
which water can be secured, the amount
Of water that may be obtained from
each, and the cost of getting the water
onto the farm.
This committee is to report at the call
of the chairman, Captain Cook.
at this same meeting the proposition
of cannery was discussed. A COM
mittee consisting OF A. H. Jewett,
Judge A. R. Byrkett and Seymour W.
Condor were named and have been con-
ferring with cannery man from The
Dalles who is to meet with the White
Salmon people and place before them
proposition whereby the farmers of
the north side of the Columbia will be
enabled TO find place where they can
get rid of fruit at sure price. As the
farmers of White Salmon can grow a
fine quality of vegetables, pears, cher
ries and other fruits it is thought that
this will be an inducement to outside
capital, with a certain amount of help
from the people of Whie Salmon, to
put in a canning plant at that point.
This committee that is looking up the
cannery proposition is also inquiring
into the question of a union or organiza-
ton of the White Salmon fruit growers,
so Mr.. Waldo says. 1t is not the inten-
tion of the White Salmon people to go
it alone in shipping their fruit, as was
stated last week, but the idea of union
is for the purpose of getting into better
touch with the markets. 1t is the inten-
tion of those interested in the move
ment, says Mr.. Waldo, to have an agent
in Hood River who will be able to give
the shippers some information as to
prices each day and the condition of
the markets, not only in the shipment
of Strawberries, but for tomatoes, cher
ries, or anything the growers there have
to export.
The White Salmon people want to be
able to get daily market reports on all
the fruit they have to ship. Now they
are SO far from the railroad shipping
point that they are in ignorance Of the
true market conditions. They expect
to continue as before in marketing their
shipments through the Davidson Fruit
Co. and the Hood River Fruit Growers
union.
Mr.. Waldo says he has one of the
finest cherry orchards in the state of
Washington. If the newspaper man
can find one to equal it he has promised
a new hat for him. The trees were set
out year ago last spring, and have
surpassed all expectations as to growth.
Last year they put forth vigorous roots,
and this year there are any mum ber of
the trees, says Mr. Waldo, that it
would require ten-foot pole to reach
to the top of.

The Enemy Had Hot Feet.

Our editor, who, with his family, are
rusticating out at the Oakdale ranch,
went to the blackberry patch one even
ing last week to gather some berries for
his breakfast the next morning. Incl
dentally or accidentally, (and he is falsely
accused of having instinctively. inter
viewed community of yellow jackets.
He found them all at home, energetic,
aggressive, pushing, little fellows, in fact,
he says the few individuals who sus-
pended their regular work long enough
to receive the Glaciers interviewer,
pushed too hard for his physical comfort.
The would be horticulturist who is try
ing to operate the ranch, and who was
with the editor when the incident or
accident occurred seems to he the only
one present who thoroughly enjoyed the
situation. To him it appeared from the
language and actions of the parties in
terested, that they were attempting to
combine the performances of q high
class circus with the theological instruc-
tiOns of an up-to-date Sunday school ,and
with remarkable success. A generous
application of ammonia and soda BIZ
carb to the punctures made by the little
beligerents soon relieved the wounded
feelings of the unfortunate quilldriver,
but not until his sympathetic better
half received the attention of one of his
assailants which had followed the news
paper man in his foot race to the house
100 yards away. But now comes the
most mysterious episode of this en-
tire bit of history. The aforesaid would
be horticulturist went in person, two or
three evenings later, to deliver his ulti-
matum to the beligerents, either to
make due reparation and disavowal of
beligerent intentions or it would devolve
upon the powers that be the necessity
avenging the wanton breach of neutral
ity, Arriving at the locality the diplo-
mat found that his action had been fore
stalled, that some enemy had razed
the entire Notifications of the yellow
jackets, appropriated their stores, young
and old inhabitants, in fact, leaving
nothing of the entire community but the
empty cells and perhaps half dozen in
dividuals who were probably dong scout
duty at the time of the attack ,and these
members ofa once prosperous and pugna-
cious community of pain propagators,
who seemed to have troubles enough of
their own for once, and were too dazed
to pick up a scrap with new intruder.
The editor declares emphatically that
he had gained all the information he
desired regarding that particular COM
munity, and could not have been in
duCed either by bribes or desire for re-
venge to make such vigorous assault.
What this historian wants to know, and
that which prompted the writing of
these tragic events is "Who stole de
ingions." In other words, will coOns,
skunks, hedgehogs, or other predatory
nightprOwlers do such effective work IN
the destruction of these pests? If any
one can speak with authority and name
the individual it would most likely cave
the fruit growers of the valley hundreds
Of dollars in spoiled fruits to ask of
our Commercial club or the Oregon De-
velopment league to use their influence
to encourage the immigration of this
class of inhabitants.

will Lay Tile Drains on His Ranch.

+. W. Angus was in Portland and
McMinnville last week, where he went
to look after tile draining for his farm.
Mr.. Angus found that it is necessary to
buy four cars of tiling to get the low
rate offered for the terra Gotta, so Mr..
Angus has placed an ad in another
column OF the Glacier, calling attention
to those farmers who expect to put in
tiling this fall to see him before next
Saturday.
Mr.. Angus finds that the tiing can be
purchased for Is cents for the 3-inch,
and 20 cents four the 4-inch. This is
(. o. b. at McMinnville. The freight to
Hood River will amount to about l3 cents
hundred he says.
Mr.. Angus expects to lay about 5000
feet of tlling this fall. He aims to put
it in before the rains intefere with dig.
ging. The pipes are laid in bitches about
three feet deep. One man should dig
about 100 feet of ditching day says Mr.,
Angus.
The tiling is found to be necessity
now that there is so much irrigating
water turned loose in the valley. Mr..
Angus put some drain pipe in his
orchard last year and says the land
there this year is kept in fine shape.
The soil is always mellow and moist, and
produces splendid crops.
