The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-08-17

Reports from the upper river say
that the snake Is at lower stage than
1t has been for years, and is falling
at the rate of L of foot every two
days, and it is now only one foot
above the low water mark. Before
very long it Is declared it will be be-
low the zero point. If such proves
to be true 1t is feared that the steam
ers plying in those waters will have to
be taken out of commission. In that
event 1t would be necessary to trans
port the grain crop to Lewiston by
teams over rough and almost impass-
ible roads if growers were anxious to
get it to market this fall But it is
supposed that many would wait until
winter, when the river would again
become naviagble, before undertaking
to move the crops.
All the snow has melted from the
mountains, and there is no possible
chance for the river to increase in
depth unless constant rains should
fall but they never do that this ason
in that section, and so the probabili-
ties are very strong that the upper
Snake will soon be closed to traffic.

WILL BEGIN WORK
ON CELLO CANAL

Work on the Cello canal will beigp
as soon as men can be employed and
the necessary material placed on the
ground. The contract for construc-
tion of the first half mile of the work
has been let to Jones and Smyth of
Portland, who agree to do the work
for S292, 600. They bid on what is
known as the G design, which means
that the walls of the big waterway will
be built of solid cement. The con.
tract calls for the completion of that
stretch by December 81, 1906.
This portion of the canal is regarded
as the most difficult to construct in
the entire length of the proposed
waterway. 1t extends down the river
half mile from Cello and big part
Of the formation consists oflsolid rock,
When completed the canal will be ap-
promiXately eight miles long
No money is available with which
to do any further work on the canal
at this time. The United States on.
gineers hope liberal appropriation
for the completion of the project will
be made by congress at its coming
session. 1t Is supposed that $40, OO0,.
900 more will be sufficient.

1904. For the first time since 1861
Al years., the water in Fraser river
has dropped so that the bars in the
stream are exposed and miners are
working them. The Columbia is fed
under similar conditions and 1t is
reasonable to suppose that results will
be the same. One great benefit of low
water will be the opportunity afforded
to blast troublesome rocks that hinder
navigation opposite Biggs. But be-
fore the red tape can be manipulated
high water will again run its course.

BUY
DAIRY COWS
SHIPPING CREAM TO PORTLAND
Mount Hood Route is Now Well Es.
tablishGd--GOOd Cows are
Being Sought for.

Robert Leasure was down from
Mount Hood last Friday looking for
dairy cows for himself and nelghbors.
Mrs. Reis Is anxious to get a herd of
seven or eight cows. d. II. Cooper
has IA cows now, but expects to in
creas this number to %. Art Rhoads
hopes to be able to do the same.
Nhlle the cream route established
recently at Mount Hood by the
Hazelwood Creamery Co. of Portland
is not securing great deal of cream,
all because there are not sufficient
cows in the valley, the people in gen
eral are well pleased with the expert
ment. Several are awaiting to to see
just how their neighbors make it.
and as soon as they secure the cows
will themselves be patrons of the
route.
Oscar Fredenburg, who operates the
stage line from Mount Hood post
office and also carries the mail, brings
the cream cans to the express office
each Tuesday and Friday. Two sta
tions have been established-o at
Gribble's store and the other at
Shelly's store at Odell The Mount
Hood farmers take their cream to Mr..
Gribble's store the day before it is
shipped, where each farmers cream
Is weighed and portion of the cream
taken out for testing. The same will
be done at Odell.
V. Winchell was at Beaverton last
week and secured heard of COWS for
his farm. Friday morning, William
Davidson of the West Side accompan-
led Mr.. Sherwood to Portland. and
expects to return this week with sew
eral good cows. Mr.. Sherwood was
here several days looking after bust
ness connected with the new route
here. lie is the manager of the routes
by the Hazelwood Cream
cry Co. throughout the state.
Thursday night the wholesale price
of Hazelwood butter in Portland went
up to 3Oc pound As this company
pays for butterfat within cent and a
half of the wholesale price of Hazel
wood butter, it will mean 28l5 cents
a pound for the farmers butter fat.
While the shipments of cream are
yet rather small, the Hazelwood people
are well satisfied with the good be-
ginning made here. They realize that
there is great insutticiency of COWS,
and say they do not expect heavy
business here for year or more. The
Mount Hood Development Co. is tax
Ing an active interest in furthering
the creamery route proposition, and
has promised the Glacier complete re-
ports from time to time as to how the
business is progressing, and what sue
cess and profit there is in the venture
to the farmers who ship the cream.

In Electric Storm on Mount Hood.

When party from Forest Grove
was ON Mount Hood last week they
were caught in an electric storm that
produced an uncanny effect, says the
Times. A dark cloud hung over the
top of the peak and for several min
utes the air was full of electricity.
When the tip of the alpinstock was
touched to a rock an electrick spark
was produced. and the hair and beard
of the men stood out and snapped
when touched. A day or two later
another storm there punched holes
in the copper box in which the book
Of records is kept on the top Of the
peak and the government heliograph
instrument used in signaling to the
Lewis and Clark exposition grounds
was knocked to pieces.

MINING FOR A METEOR.
Stone Buried Twelve Thousand Feet
 Deep.

Stone Buried Twelve Thousand Feet
 Deep.
 A remarkable mining project is be- ing carried out near Diablo canyon, in this territory, by the Standard Iron company of New York. The object of the company is to unearth and smelt a gigantic meteor which lies buried there. This meteor probably struck the earth many ages ago. The Indians who inhabit that region have no legend of the wonderful event. The location of the meteor is marked by a hole in the earth three-fourths of a mile long and 500 feet deep. The surrounding country for radius of several miles is covered. by the fragments of this heavenly visitor. They have furnished much interesting material for investi- gations by mineralogists. Some of the fragments weighed many tons and brought rich returns of silver, gold and lead when shipped to the smelter. And of the fragments that have been analysed run high in lead, silver and gold. This remarkable mineral prop erty was acquired more than year ago by the Standard Iron company, which began the work to locate the meteor by means of a shaft which it is sinking from the bottom of thegreat hole. This shaft has reached a depth of more than 400 feet, or more than 1000 feet from the original earth's S surface. The size of the meteor has been carefully calculated by scientific experts, who take as a basis the size of the hole which it made in the earth. It is estimated that the gold, silver and lead which the meteor contains will amount to $13,OOO,0OO. It is believed that the shaft will strike the meteor at about 12,OOO fet.
 In former days many mining pro- spectors gained a good livelihood by collecting and shipping the fragments of the meteor to the smelter. These fragments had a market value of s1 a pound in Holbrook. The Indians bzrought in large quantities of the min eral in the days before railroad had been built into this region, and the mineral was sent to smelters on bur- ros.-Holbrook (Ariz.) correspondence Boston Transcript.
