A Remarkable Timeniece.

An unique specimen of the watch
makers art is to be seen in the window
of W. F. Laraway's jewelry store. This
is huge watch, the property OF NJ. j.
Boyd. Mr.. Boyd purchased the ticker
of Mr. Laraway about 40 years ago and
although the two gentlemen have been
often separated by half the breadth of
Uncle Sans domain, such is Mr. Boyd's 8
love for his watch and confidence in Mr..
l.araway as horologer that regard
less of the distance and expense the
timepiece has been sent to Mr.. Laraway
every two wears to be cleaned.
The watch is in a plain silver hunting
case weighing one and a quarter pounds,
the mechanism being of the finest make,
full jeweled, diamonds being used in.
stead of rubies, and it cost the owner
$3.50. The time had become ripe to
give his chronometer another vacation
and you can hardly imagine Mr.. Boyd's
surprise and delight to learn after buy
ing the Ewers property on the hill a
cpuple of weeks ago, that Mr.. Laraway
was also located here. He Immediately
brought in his "turnip" to receive its
biennial cleaning. 1t is a curious fact
the silver in this case at the time it was
made was worth more in dollars and
cents than the price pa d for it is worth
in gold today.

LOCALS WIN BY
CASTNER'S RUN

Bishops drive to the field enabled
Castner to cover second and third, and
a sacrifice 10y Morse put Castner home
before Morse dropped ont at first. This
single run in the second inning, gave the
locals the game, heavy thunder storm
making it impossible to continue the
contest over five inning.
There were few errors, but not costly
to either side While no exciting fea-
lures were produced, it was altogether a
good game. The work of Osburn for the
locals shone above anything the visitors
could produce.
Bishop, who played second for Hood
River, had not donned baseball suit
for five years, but he knows the game
and will be valuable addition to the
team. Castner is doing well behind the
bat, and bis accurate basethowing Sun
day was exceptionally good In fact
there was some splendid hasethrowing

WILL BUILD A
3.STORY ANNEX

w. M. Stewart, the housefurnisher,
is preparing to erect three-story brick
warehouse, in the rear OF his present
location on State street. Architect p.
M. Hall-Lewis will superntend the con-
struction work.
Mr.. Steward, who bought out furni-
ture stock here four years ago, just to be
doing something, as he states it, injected
some ginger into his business, foresaw
the possibilities of a greater Hood River,
and IN snort time concluded he had a
good thing and was determined to stay
with it. His business has increased by
leaps and bounds, and with every inch
OF available floor space in his 50xl00
store building overerowded with
stock, and several warehouses about
the city well filled, he has concluded
money invested in a substantial brick
addition for warehouse purposes will be
money we'll spent.
When this annex is completed, Mr..
Stewart will have $4,000 feet of floor
space. This does not include the use
which is made of the walls and ceiling
for storing goods. The dimensions of the
annex are 44x50. The basement will be
full size.
Mr., Stewart has always on hand ten
or more carloads of cement, lime and
patent plaster, and this will be stored
on the second floor, with an opening on
to the street, for loading the material
into wagons and drays. Mr.. Stewart
has planned devise for loading and I'M
loading wagons, which will enable 10
year-old boy to handle all his warehouse
goods. This will not only be time
saver for man buying a load of lime or
cement, but will save the back breaking
process of moving the barrels by hand
and on trucks.
Mr.. Stewart has arranged a plan of his
own for storing oils in the basement of
the warehouse, where the explosive will
be out of all danger from the careless
throwing away oi lighted match. BY
means OF faucets the various oils will be |
drawn from the tanks into cans, and all |
drlppngs will be carried away in tin
troughs.
The third floor of the annex will be
utilized for displaying light furniture.
TIE petitions in the salesroom will be |
taken out and the whole 5OxlOO floor
space will be devoted to a display OF his
hardware, furniture and crockerv. |
material and heavy goods will |
be stored in the warerOoms.
Mr.. Stewart makes it point to keep
always in stock everything that goes in
to the construction Of home from lime
IOr the foundation to finishing lumber
fOr the woodwork on the interior and ex-
terror. He then has everything from a
kitchen range to fine HavIin chinaware.
There is nothing lacking in he stock for
purposes, nor for furnishing the
nome when it is completed.
That he is as he advertises, "The
Complete Homefurnisher," may be veri-
led by glance at the interior of the es-

The extreme probability that Norman
Williams will expiate his crime upon
scaffold in the Wasco county court
yard in The Dalles, started an inquiry
concerning former hangings in this
county. There have been two hanging.
so John Michel tells the Glacier. Mr..
Michel saw both of them.
The first hanging was in 1865, when
Deadman was hung for the murder of
two men near Willow Junction on the
old Canyon City trail The hanging
vas public, and hundreds of people
came from miles around to witness the
execution.
The second hanging occurred in 1878,
when Crossen was sheriff. Jim Cook
and George Craig were being held in
the county Jail on a charge of larceny
Craig turned states evidence on his pal
CvOk, in some unknown manner, se-
cured razor. He Camly arose from
the mess table at the noon hour, and
quick as flash almost severed the head
oi Craig from the body.
