The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-12-07

ten O'Clock all the ,driyeways leading
to the warehouse and the Little White
store, and our private stable, were
blocked with teams, the drivers OF
which were patrons of the Odell I'M
provement Co., who, without knowl.
edgo of the situation were innocent
trespassers upon private property ROne
fellow, whose brains are ia his heels,
without our consent hi ched his horse
inside our warehouse, ground and up
on ground we had fixed for lawn.
We hitched him to tree in the pub
lie road, but someway when he got
ready to go home beeaue he didn't
find him where he bad 1eft him,
wended his way home on foot, dis
tance OF four miles. The next morn
ing our stable door was open and the
gate leading to the stable was also
open and young apple orchard at
the mercy of stock that are loose In
the road. The Little White store
people have gone to the expense OF
putting up more than 100 feet OF
hitching rack for the accommodation
OF the public. This is the only
public hitching rack here. We regret
the necessity of mentioning this
matter at all again, but we now say
in positive terms that this midnight
marar dering and destruction OF prop
erty and the trespassiug upon private
grounds and property must stop at
once, and while we regret the neces
ity OF doing so, yet We shall keep the
public advised concerning this very
disagreeable matter until some one
else, takes steps to take cafe OF the
horses belonging to their patrons and
off Of whom they are making money.
This paragraph is written after dne
consideration and after respectful re-
quests have been made that something
be done along this line which said re-
quests we're made months ago,
Last Friday evening was literary
night, and the house was packed to
the doors and the program was smooth
as the poets dream. II was not all
the work of amateurs. Among the
visitors present we're Mr.. Gillespie of
Barrett and Mr.. Keen Of Willow Fiat.
Both these gentlemen are stars. Mr.
Keen as an elocutionist distinguished
himself with recital that called for
another. The last was entitled "a
Picture ON the Bar Room Floor. 1t
was full of pathos and showed the
human heart torn with despair, Mr..
Gillespie favored us with two ballads,
the second one was the result OF en-
core. One of these was an Irish
ballad, the title OF which cannot re-
call, but it touched a responsive chord
in the hearts of his hearers. The 9th
er was along comic lines. The, melo-
dy in both the songs was charming
and carried the large audience along
amid waves Of delight, The entire
program was replete with good things
well rendered, every number being
worthy of special mention. A good
literary always proves an advantage
TO any community. 1t affords free
education to both old and young, and
where the program Is varied SO as to
embrace all classes, 1t proves profit
able.
We are 10 receipt of copies of the
Lewiston Interstate News, published
