The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-08-10

Hood River people will remember
the beautiful electrical display Sun
day night a week ago, when sheets OF
lightning danced on the hill tops east
of the valley. While there was no rain
here, and only occasionally slight
peals Of thunder, at Dufur there was
heavy storm, of which the Dispatch
of that city gives the following ac-
count:
On Sunday evening last, a storm,
accompanied with much thunder and
lightning, passed over Dufur. Mrs.
Woods house was struck by the light.
ming, and quite quantity Of rain
fell. There was quite scare among
our inhabitants as the electric display
was altogether vivid and unusual. No
one was hurt, and the house but
slightly damaged. The electric cur
rent set fire to the house. A FIRE
alarm was sounded and our firemen
turned out to get good wetting, and
learned that there we're several things
for them to think of when called out
in the dark and the rain. The CON-
pany managed to find two lanterns,
but had great deal of trouble to
open and light them. We hear that
Mrs. Woods put the fire out with a
bucket or two of water,

Cuban DiarrhOea,

L. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than so
much water. Cuban diarrhoea is al
most as severe and dangerous as a mild
attack of cholera. There is one remedy,
however, that can always be depended
upon as will be seen by the following
certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of
Houston, Texas: Il hereby certify
that Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband
of severe attack of Cuban diarrhOea,
which he brought home from Cuba.
We had several doctors but they did
him no good. One bottle Of this rene
dy cured him, as our neighhOrs will
testify. THANK God for SO valuable a
medicine" For sale Ivy Williams

"How much more will the farmers
get for their wheat this year because
the portage road is in operation? Will
the freight rates be reduced? Will
there be boats on the river to carry

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place. says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and 1t is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last q week and
would then pass of. In a month che
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites of
her eyes would be yellow.
THE doctors gave US no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course. we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by 80 doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

Radium Solution for Cancer.

Experiments now under way at the
Flower hospital in New York City are
reported by the World to indicate the
discovery Of an almost certain cure for
cancer. It consists of a new method
for the application of radium. Won
derful things were expected of radium.
and its discovery by Professor Curie
and his wife had barely been an
nounced when leading scientists be-
gan striving to find way in which the
new force could be used to destroy dis
ease germs. All these practically
failed. Now. however. a chemist OF
New York claims to have succeeded in
dissolving radium and that the result
ing solution exerted all the activity Of
the pure radium.
Surgeons and physicians OF the
Flower hospital staff decided to give
the solution a trial and selected a wo-
man eighty-two years old, who was
dying from a cancer on the instep OF
her left foot.
Six days after the treatment began.
the doctors say. the cancer dropped off
and showed healthy mesh beneath.
Nothing remained but to heal the tis-
sue, which was finally accomplished.
although the treatment is still being
continued.

colorado's Big Storm.

Denver, April 25.-The storm of Sun
day and Monday was felt throughout
many western and southern states, but
in no state was 1t as severe as it was
In Colorado. In Denver the storm dam
aged trees and shrubbery, delayed traf-
fic on street railroads and made the
roads in parts of the city SO impossible
that the Humane Society was forced to
issue orders that horses be not used
until some of the moisture had seeped
away. Local telephone and telegraph
wires were tangled and broken by the
weight Of heavy, clinging snow, and
electric communication in residences
and business houses was cut off.
The storm, which continued fiercely
all Easter day and night, made it diff
ficult to attend church services and
made the Easter bonnet droop its
proud plumage in Disappointment.
Throughout the state. great damage
was done by the storm. Railroad traf-
fic was delayed. Washouts were threat
ened and serious landslides occurred
on the Rio Grande in the Royal Gorge
and at other points on other lines.
Telephone communication was cut on
with Pueblo, Trinidad. Florence, Canon
City and Cripple Creek.
In Trinidad the storm spent its f1erc-
est force. Much of the repair work on
ruins of the recent flood was again
washed out, and another flood is feared.
Water mains were torn away and
wires broken down, leaving the busi-
ness section of the city without light
or water.

FULTON CENTENNIAL.
One Hundred Yes-s Since First Steam
boat Trip.

It seems hardly possible that It is
less than a hundred years since Rob
ert Fulton sent his pioneer steamboat
up the waters of the Hudson. But the
announcement of proposed Fulton
centennial has sent the newspaper
men to their cyclopedias. and there is
no doubt about the facts.
That was not the first steamboat, to
be sure, for four years before the Cler-
mont was launched Fulton himself
had experimental with small steam
boat in the Seine in France, and other
experiments dated back to 1856. But
the trip of the Clermont is Justly re-
garded as the beginning Of successful
steam navigation. and the name OF
Fulton justly heads the list of invent
ors in this department of human prog
ress.
It was Fulton, too. in 1915, who con-
structed the first steam war vessel.
majestic craft Of thirty-eight tons
displacement, yet hardly capable of
meeting on equal terms such pres
ent-day battleship as the Connecticut
or Louisiana of 10000 tons each.
And 1t was not until 1919 that the
first steamer crossed the Atlantic. sail
ing from Savannah, Georgia, to Liv-
erpool in twenty-six days. during eigh-
teen of which the paddlewheels were
in use.
The proposed centennial Of the Cler-
monts trip is a proper observance OF
an important historical occasion. and
the honor paid to Robert Fulton is
worthily bestowed upon an American
whose ingenuity and energy wrought
most powerfully and benefcially for
the benefit of mankind and the prog
ress OF the American continent that
gave him birth.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Niagara Water Power.

The commissioners of Queen Victo-
ria park, on the Canadian side of Nj
agara falls. show proper sense of the
condition now affecting that majestic
cataract. They have just issued their
nineteenth annual report and laid it
before the Ontario Legislature, set
ting forth that halt must be called
in the granting Of franchises at the
falls and that too many have been
given away already. Three Of them
are now in the possession Of private
companies and fourth, permitting the
creation of 100000 more horsepower
from the Chippewa river, is under con-
sideration. This will make an aggre-
gate on the Canadian side Of 1880
horsepower, which the commissioners
think should not, at the present time,
be exceeded. II more are to be given
hereafter they should cost the grantees
more. and in particular care should be
taken that the shores above and be-
low the falls be not marred by un-
slightly buildings.

A Heavy Fine.

Under the Likins law. any railroad
company which pays rebates in any
form. or any shipper who accepts
them, is liable to fine of from $1,000
to $4,000, upon conviction. It also
prohibits the carrying OF freight at
less than the published tariffs. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
empowered to detect. and prosecute
violators of this statute. President
Knapp of the Commission states that
since this law was passed, rebate pay
ing has been as rare as forgery.
