Glacier Ads Pay.

If you don't think it pays to advertise
in the Glacier just ask Robert Rand of
Wau-Guin-Guin. You remember the
little ad he ran week before last in our
For Sale column; the ad about the spot
ted Jersey COW with a shady character
and pedigree that reached away back
through Kansas to NOah's ark, and
whose foot, when che kicks, reaches
clear down to the end of time rather
than to fail to catch fellow in the
cold storage of his anatomy; the cow
with the crumpled horn and pitch fork
handle attachment. Well, we had hard
" gotten the forms washed before Mr..
Rand called up the Office and in an agi-
tated voice said "Kill that COW" and
he stammered and fell down, while We
had, visions of an iniuriated bovine toss
ing Uncle Robert into the air and her
pedal eXtremites striking out in all dl-
rections like tiashe of lightning from
the fingers Of an angry JoVe on his
Olvmpian seat, but Uncle Robert rallied
and repeated, kill that COW ad; every
body wants TO buy that cow" A man
down town who makes his wife do the
milking wanted to know if he would
sell her cheaper without the pitch fork
handle as his wife always used fiat iron
to fondle himself and the other cattle
when any of them became unruly.
A lady on the East Side wanted to bny
the COW badly and she, too, wished the
benefit of the reduction, if any provided
the pitch fork handle attachment was
not included, as she deprecated the idea
of giving a great brute Of a man such an
advantage over a poor little Jersey COW
Mr.. Rand boldly accused her of having
sinister designs against her husband,
and the lady blushed so violently that
radioactive emanations from her smil-
ing countenance gave pink tinge to
Mr.. Rand's ideas of speculating in live
stock, and he says the telephone bel
kept ringing all the time till the neigh
bors began to kick about him monOpoliz
ing the use Of the phone, and the prett,
hello-girls down town threatened to SUE
him for breach-of-promise or damages
or something OF the kind if he didn't
choke that old COW off He got dozens
of calls. Married men wanted her fol

Revival at Valley Christian Church.

The series OF meetings which closed
Sunday night at the Valley Christian
church was a remarkable one in many
ways. 1t was particularly remarkable
for the proportion OF additions to the
church by baptism. II we were rightly
informed, of the A additions to the
church during the meetings, 40 were by
confession and baptism, the greater
number of these being young men and
young women. This speaks very highly
for all concerned. For the good work
OF the church and Sunday school and
the Endeavor society during the past
year, instructing those who attended
their sessions, and it speaks very highly
for T. S. Handsaker and his eetimable
wife in their work Of evangelizing.
Mr.. Handsaker is not sensationalist
in any sense of the word. but presents
the truth Of the gospel Christ and mans
duties and relation thereto in such SIM
pie and unimpeachable terms that he
carries conviction to the hearts OF his
hearers. He is at once an interesting,
entertaining and instructive speaker.
While it is good way in advance, the
church is hoping to have Mr.. and Mrs.
Handsaker conduct a series of meetings
here in April or May. Mr.. and Mrs.
Handsaker go to The Dalles Saturday
to begin a series of meetings in that city
That their labors may be abundantly
successful wherever they may go is the
desire and prayer Of the friends who
have learned to love them while they
were here.
In speaking of the good work Of the
church during the past year, we includ
ed the labors OF the pastor, W. A. Ell.
kins, who has been very thorough and
energetic in his work since coming here
That his efforts we're not small factor II
bringing about the great success OF the
meetings, and that they are so appreciat
ed by the people Of the Valley church is
attested by The little surprise they
sprung on him Sunday evening when
the members, and friends of the pastor
presented him with q nice baptisma
suit.
The new converts were given recep

WILL GRIND FLOUR
in TWO WEEKS MORE

The Hood River milling Co. hopes to
be grinding out -four by the middle OF
the month. The work of installing the
five carloads of machinery has taken
several weeks, and there is a large
amount of work to be completed yet,
before the mill will be ready for oper-
atoms.
Joe Wilson is busy this week dig
ging ditch for the iron pipe mp the hill
to the reservoir. The mill will be oper-
ated by water power. A pelton wheel
has been installed that will furnish l75
horsepower If necessary. AT present,
the mill company expects to turn out
only 100 barrels day, and this will re-
auire about 40 horsepower The mill is
supplied with machinery sufficient to
enlarge the output to 200 barrels with
but little additional expense.
To wander through the labarynth OF
boilers, bins, shafts and other unknown
contrivances is an interesting trip to one
who never went through Touring mill
before. Machinery of all sorts fills the
| four stories of the mill.
The machinery OF the Hood River mill
cost $4,000, and it required another
$1,000 to install the same. The pay
roll of the company last week was $50
A very neat Office room has been hit
ted up in the warehouse OF the mill.
