What an Outsider Saw.

Gilmer, Wash, Jan. %. Editor
Glacier: On our way home from
Eastern Washington we stopped yester-
day at Mosier to pay visit to friends
at that burg. We we're introduced
to a nice old couple from Hood Riyor
and being somewhat interested in the
welfare of that city and its people, we
we're much surprised to learn from
the old lady that Hood River people,
including the mayor, city council and
marshal, we're up in arms. and prepar-
ed to do some cutting loose.
Leslie Butler, Il. l.. Smith and Lou
Morse, 80 it was stated 1--WE expected
the latter would had gone to Portland
to get some big knives and a grind
stone, to enable them to do the cut
ting. They propose to begin at Mosier
and to cut south, but don't know just
how far south, but hoped they would
not cut Mount Hood. When The
Dalles people heard about the conspir-
acy they forthwith sent the sheriff
to arrest everyone in Hood River.
The not -fellers, though, got wind Of
it, and quickly sent for Captain Cook
and Bill Overbaugh of White Salmon,
and when they came they saw the sher.
iff at the hotel, but did not know what
was up until told Well, these two
and Bin Jordan (Bill Ash being out O
town were to take the sheriff way
out near Mount Hood and there turn
him loose in the Wilderness withou
anything to eat. But Captain Cool
thought this would be too bad, anC
ran down to milliner shop to ge
five cents worth of crackers. Bu
when the hotel was reached they founC
the sheriff had lit out, and all wer'
looking for his tracks in the ligh
snow. But it is thought the sheriff

PREPARE EXHIBIT
MANUAL TRAINING

Hood River public schools will have
the proud distinction Of exhibiting
at the Lewis and Clark exposition the
only manual training work from Was
co county. 1t will possibly be a sur
prise to many to learn that the young
men of Hood River high school have
been doing manual training work since
the first Of the year. The boys have
a work shop in the school building on
the hill. Several of the students have
had some experience in this work in
Eastern schools While Hood River
does not expect to make the showing
that can be made by schools from the
larger cities where they have greater
facilities for work of this kind, yet
the exhibit from this city will be
credit to the school and to the stud
ents.
The cabinets in which the exhibits
of work from the Hood River school
will be built by the students in the
manual training department. These
cabinets if bought elsewhere would
cost S15 or SlS.
A meeting of the special committee
of Wasco county teachers who have in
charge the arrangements Tor the edu-
cational display at the Portland fair,
met last Saturday in The Dalles. In
structions as to the manner Of collect
ing the exhibits from the several
schools of the county win be printed
in pamphlet form and distributed to
the teachers.
1t was arranged that the schools Of
The Dalles and Hood River should
make their exhibits by grades. That
is, the work of one grade will be ex-
hibited as such, while from other
schools, the work of the school will be
placed together with no distinction
as to the grades who executed the
work.
Professor Wiley believes the schools
of Hood River and the valley will be
able to prepare a very creditable ex-
hibit. Hood River is so well known
among Eastern people, that those who
visit the fair next summer will be
desirous of learning something about
the schools of this country and what
the pupils can do. The teachers are
now ut work collecting matter.

expressions of welcome on behalf of
the members and friends of the con
gregation were very cordial.

returned from his claim on the Snake
river. eighty acres is all one man

at the rate Of " an acre until paid

determined until the government work
is completed, but II il not to exceed
SIG an acre Some believe 1t will not
go over S14. Thus land owner will
have 80 acres and perpetual water

ments,
Mr.. Haynes says there are many
people there from Seattle, Chicago
and even New York city. Thousands
of people are crowding into Minado-
ka. Work Is plentiful, though wages
are not so very high. The railroad
construction superintendent is paying
81. % per day for laborers. Workmen
on the big dam get 20 cents an hour,
but it is given out that 400 men will
be put to work In the spring with an
increase In the wage scale. Board

The statements ON slips are not in the
least overdrawn. Our banks probably
have more than 500, 600 on deposit
now. Yes, we occasionally have a
blind pig, but we have never failed to
get rid of them in short time. The
worst thing we have to handle is the
practice of few of the boo2ers who
pool their coin and send some one to
Jaynesville to buy dozen or so pints
of whisky, but no respectable drinker
would club with such parties and the
aforesaid boozers seldom have money
enough for more than one drunk so
that there is not much damage done
There is considerable beer shipped
in to private parties who take it home
and use it in a rational manner.

FEWER POCKET KNIVES SOLD.
City Demand Has Fallen Away In
Late Years, Says the Cutlery
Dealer.


"There Is not SO much call for
pocketlxnives In New York as there
used to be-" said a man who has been
Ia the cutlery business in this city for
forty years. There was a time when
every man carried pocketknife, but
now you might stop fifty men in the
downtown section and ask for knife
and not more than a dozen could ac-
commodate you.
1--WE do not carry anything like the
stock in this line that we did in other
times. Now one person in an ofEce
or business house keeps the pencils
sharpened for the boss and the help.
The manicure shop also has cut in
to the field of the pocket knife. and
men who do not patronize the mani
files.
Some OF the old brand of knives
which used to be good sellers the
rear round have entirely disappear
ed from our cases, and nearly so
from the factories. When did you
ever use a Barlow knife? There was
time when every boy had one. For
the smaller youngsters there was the
dog-knife. 1t was so called because
the handle was an imitation of d g
on a run. The~dogknife used to be a
sort of necessary in boys stocking
on Christmas / haven't seen or
heard of a dogknife since the Civil
War.
"A long time ago the pocketknife
most in demand was the four inch
spring back. One reason why 1t had
such run was that it was mighty
handy weapon in fight. When t>e
blade was open it stayed put until
you pressed spring which closed 1t.
Many who could not be induced to
carry a revolver did not hesitate to
keep the springback knife where it
would come. handy.
THE old horn handles have nearly
disappeared from the city. They are
still used in the country stores, but
the city man who carries a pocket
blade wants something that will not
wear out his pockets, and which will
not be any extra weight.
There used to be a combination
knife that was a good deal in de-
mand. In addition to its blade it con-
tanned a corkscrew, a pick, an awl,
and a small pair of scissors. There
Is no demand in the city for such a
knife now. The corkscrew has its
uses still, and its place, but its place
is one the sideboard. And then, you
know, most decoctfons' as they are
now put up do not require cork
screw When a man wants a drink
in this busy age he wants it quick,
and the bottles are so arranged that
you unscrew the arrangement at the
top and the drink is ready. New

Professor Albert Helm. the well

sensations which he experienced
while falling from precipice On the
Eaentis Alps.
He was not troubled in his breath
ing, and felt none of the paralyzing
terror which so often overwhelms
men when face to face with some
sudden and awful catastrophe. He
felt tranquil, but endowed with an IN
usual mental activity; varied
thoughts and ideas flashed rapidly
through his brain, and a thousand
long-forgotten incidents of his past
life came pleasantly to his memory.
Then came sound of soft and
soothing music, and at the instant
that he knew that he had struck the
ground he lost consciousness abso-
lutely without pain or the slightest
sensation of shock.-Philadelph
