FLESH IS BURNED
FROM his HANDS

John l.. Kelly, in the employ OF s. L.
Bartmess, met with frightfu accident
Monday morning that may cause him
the loss OF his right hand. Kelly had
cut his hand slightly and wrapped
about 1t cloth saturated with turpen-
tine. When putting wood into the
stove the flames ignited the turpentine
and in an effort to remove the burning
cloth, the flesh of both hands was
burned TO q crisp.
The pain at the time and since then
has been excrueiating for Mr.. Kelly.
Local doctors did all that was possible
to ease his sufferings, and Tuesday
afternoon he left for the hospital at
Bortland for special treatment. The
flesh on his right hand was so badly
burned that it: had already begun to
peal off.
Doctors are afraid he will lose his
right hand completely and that he will
be unable to use the other one for weeks
to come, Mr.. Kelly was faithful
employe Of Mr.. Bartmess, and his
friends deeply sympathize with him
because Of the accident.
When his hand took fire, Mr.. Kelly
WAS alone in the store, and feared to
run into a back room for cloth to
smother the flames for fear he would
set the store on fire. After several min
utes he smothered the flames by rub
bing his hands under his arm, and
finally found some upholstery cloth to
wind about the burning hand.
Members of the Odd Fellows lodge
are assisting Mr.. Kelley.

ARGUED STRONGLY
FOR PROHIBITION

Colonel Sobieski, the noted prohibi-
ton lecturerer Of Los Angeles, enter
tanned large audiences at the opera house
Friday and Saturday evening, with able
and eloquent discussions on the benefits
OF prohibition. The lecturer was en-
Enthusiastically wrapped up in his sub
ject, and presented his arguments In a
clear cut and logical manner.
The speaker cited instance after in
stance as proof Of the growth Of tenn
perance in the land, among which was
the statement that while 60 years ago
scarcely person could be found who
was averse to taking his daily drink,
there are now l20,000000 marching in
the army of total abstainers. Coming
on down to the present campaign in Or
egon, he said that he believed that on
the 8th of next month % of the counties
in our state would vote for prohibition.
ITO show you that you are not in the
vanguard, hsaid the Colonel, Il will cite
you statistics from various states: In
Alabama Al of GO counties have no
liquor sold in Them Arkansas, GO out
rs; California, rs cities and towns; Col
orado, 80 towns; Georgia ll5 ont of 1877
counties; Illinois, $50 cities Indiana,
l50 counties; Iowa,all but 25;Kentucky,
70 out of ll9 counties; Louisiana, 20 out
of So; Maryland, Is out of 23 Massa-
chusetts, l25 out of $50 counties; Mich
igan 400; Minnesota 345; Mississippi II
out of 70 counties; Missouri S5 out of
ll5 counties; Nebraska $50 towns and
cities; New York 720 towns and cities;
North Carolina, 55 out of 81 counties;
Ohio, $50 towns and cities New Jersey,
300; Pennsylvania, 544; Rhode Island,
26; South Carolina, all but eight towns;
South Dakota 1852; Tennessee, 55 out Of
l6; Texas, lS0 out Of 2I6 counties; Wis
consin $40 towns and cities; Connecti-
cut, l75 out of $50; Delaware, one-half
the state; Washington, 80 towns; Ore
gon 100.
"The statement that prohibition re-
tarded the growth Of town is absurd
The growth of places where the sale of
liquor is prohibited is phenominal and
the decrease in taxes wonderful The
saloon keeper doesn't run his business
for his health. In The Dalles 2l saloons
pay yearly license of $500 each. 1t is
safe to say their receipts are $4,000 each,
aud upon the people is tax engendered
of $4,000 and this is paid by those
least able to bear the burden.
"No state has right to license any
man to manufacture that which fosters
vice and degradation,
Colonel SObieski comes of noted an.
cestry, and is rightful heir to the
throne of Poland, that country which
was dismembered by Russia, Austria
and Germany, being sixth in direct line

prevented Europe from being overrun

Hood River Fruit.

In my travels round this mundane sphere
I'm willing 10 admit,
That all the fruit Hood River grows
Most certainly are at"
Her strawberries have won Just fame
Wherever they are known,
And envious growers must declare:
They are the best that's grown,
In every cline her apples rare,
All critics do decide,
Are better than all other kinds
Throughout the world beside.
Then praises TO the growers here
Who TIL the fruitful earth,
And cause the fertile soil to bring
Such treasures TO our hearth.
Long may they live 10 give TO us
The products OF their soil
And may God bless the husbandmaD-
Reward him for his toll.

RAND'S fine new
STORE BUILDING

j. Il. Rand now occupies his fine new
brick store building in the Smith block,
corner Third and Oak streets. The task
of moving was a big piece Of work; like.
wise the strengthening up process In the
new quarters. With the usual delay in
securing building material from Port
land, many OF the windows yet lack the
glass, and it is not possible TO have
everything arranged for several days.
This modern new stoIe is the finest
in the city. The pressed brick front,
large plate glass show windows and the
cement walk soon to come combine to
make an imposing appearance. The
building practically includes two store
rooms. Facing Oak street is the dry
goods and shoe department, while open.
ing on Third street, south of the rooms
to be occupied by the First National
bank, is a large grocery department.
Stepping inside, the interior presents
very attractive appearance. The
clear white walls, the finely vanished
shelves and rows OF plate glass counters
give the impression Of metropolitan
department store. Measurements have
been sent East for cash carrier system
TO be installed next month,
Everything about the store is segre
gated in department by itself, thus
affording a much better opportunity
for display OF the goods, and making
it very convenient in waiting on Gus
toners. To the right Of the main room
is the shoe department. A glance a
the well filed shelves shows enough
shoes TO fill an exclusive shoe store
Further on room is made for mems hats
In the rear is the clothing department
and mems furnishings, On the east
side are the fine dry goods and women
wear.

The enrolment Of the Hood River
public school has increased at such a
rapid rate since the opening Of school
early in September, that the present
teaching force of IL instructors is found
TO be insufficient. The enrolment is
now close to 450.
The new building on the hill was oc.
cuped for the first time two weeks ago
Monday, and the enrolment is already
over 100 The directors expect to secure
another teacher by next week for the

they could afford il would have all four

grades are taught there.

appreciated the gift from his pupils,
