We were standing at the counter of
a sumptuous barroom in San Antonio
where Barclay and the two English
men in the party had met by appoint
ment. Barclay had a ranch to sell
which the Englishmen, two heaVy-set,
redfaeed, high booted fellows were
about to purchase. / had acted as
broker in the transaction and was
well pleased with the price settled up
on and anxious that no hitch oc,
cur to delay the immediate closing OF
the bargain.
The bartender put out four glasses
and a bottle of liquor in anticipation
of our order and the two Englishmen
and myself poured a good three fng
ers" into our glasses, but Barclay hesi
tated a moment and then said, 1
think I'll take sarsaparilla."
The Englishmen glanced at each
other significantly. We're not buying
soft drinks today, partner" said one
Barclay hesitatingly poured out
good sized drink and raised it to his
lips and turned toward the English
men who smiled their approval.
A strange thing then occurred. Bar
clay took off his hat and looked into
the crown of it for minute and then
set the untouched liquor on the bar
again. Gentlemen" he said, You'll
have to excuse me, but | cannot drink
liquor Todd, one of the Englishmen,
banged his fist down on the bar and
exclaimed IF you can't drink with
us. you can't trade with us-thats
ALL"
Barclay turned to him, his face
very white, and said slowly: Then
the deal is off gentlemen"
Presently Barclay said, "Tll admit
should like to trade with you, gentle
men, but the trade can go to the devil
if have to drink whiskey in order to
make it. I will tell you why | can't
drink liquor if you will listen NOM
ment. You may think it took courage
to refuse to drink, but l tell you 1t
would have taken more courage to
have accepted it." He drew a news
paper clipping from his pocket book
and laid it down where we could all
see it. That's exhibit No. ]" he re-
marked.
For moment we started in amaze
ment at the great black letters which
spelled the word GUILTY. The arti-
Gle following said that John Barclay
was convicted of murder in the first
degree, but that sentence was post
poned through respect to the prison
er's mother who dropped dead in the
courtroom upon hearing the verdict.
That's nice stuff for man to read
about himself, eh?" said Barclay, with
The sea coast echo., 1906-06-16

q feeble smile. He folded the slip,
put it back in his pocket-book and
produced another which read Bar
clay to be hanged On the twenty-frst
instant"
Gentlemen" he said, 'the immedi-
ate cause of those two notices was
murder. The prime cause was-well,
what is murder spelled backward?'
Without waiting for an answer he
traced the letters of the word with his
pencil in the order suggested: RED
RUM"
An embarrassed silence followed.
Gentlemen, the rum that l drank
murdered my mother. At that time"
continued Barclay, my mother and
were living in a boarding house kept
by an old maid of uncertain means and
temper. I had just returned from a
cattle-trading trip and was regal1ng
the boys with little up-country gos-
sip and some hot rum. | remember 1t
was eleven o'clock at night. The
whole scene comes back to me now: the
hot rum-and-water laden air; the great
stove. red with rage and energy. There
my remembrance of the scene ends.

he doubtless believes he is doing you a
favor, whereas he is really deriving
you of the most wholesome and deli
cious beverage that you can buy, some
thing better than anything else he can
sell you for the price. The sales OF
Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee exceed the
sales of all other package cofees in the
United States combined, and the busi-
ness of Arbuckle Bros. exceeds that of
the four next largest concerns in the
world, simply because the public ac-
tua1ly receives better coffee for their
money in Arbuckles' ARIOSA than
they can buy in any other way.
Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee is good
to drink-it quenches the thirst and
tastes good. Most people need it. 1t
aids digestion, increases the power and
ambition to work and it makes one feel
like doing things-no after depression.

WEST CRAPPER

Snow gone, and work is the order
of the day. Easter lilies up two inch
es arleady; bats have been flying
around evenings for nearly a week.
We forgot to mention the new girl
in town, and she is nearly three
weeks old. She may be seen at Uncle
Tom and Jenni Vanausdale's home.
She weighed 9pounds and measured
II inches.
A Mr.. Hall has laid the foundation
for fortune by buying in West Crap
per. Come on, there is lots of land
here yet.
Now for that game law. One of the
older young ladies going to our
school says Mr.. j. had better read the
gams law She says foreigners have a
special privilege to hunt whenever
they like until they have been here a
good while. They seem to enjoy such
privileges in mary ways, but did
not suppose the law read that way.
1t may be so, however, as the last leg
islature did some very queer things.
Suppose the Glacier publishes part
of the game law. Not all of it, as il
wont be long now until another elec-
tion. 1t would be too awful bad ia
hurt any aspirant's prospects, but
then it takes a good deal to remove
some of the hayseed,

MOSIER..

DR.. McCrum, OF, Portland, spent
Sunday in Mosier looking after the
interests of his fruit farm.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER, Of the Schindler Co.
of Portland, spent Saturday canvass
ing Mosier for applps which he found,
hut was unsuccessful in making a
purchase, as those who have apples
are still reserving them for better
prices.
CONSTRUCTION work was commenced
IN the Chamberlain road last week
under the supervision of W. Il. Hus-
kew with force of enthusiastic men.
The rapid progress gives promise that
the road will be rushed to an early
completion. A $50 pound plow which
has been purchased for the work,
will greatly expedite the grading
which characterizes great portion of
the construction.
Rev. Spight, pastor of the Baptist
church, delivered an excellent sermon
Sunday to very appreciative oongre-
cation. Rev. Spight is a man of broad
religious views and one who manifests
strong belief in the fact that Chris
tianity deals not alone with the spir-
itual but with the material things of
this world as we'll.
c. D. Morgan who is, manager of the
DR.. McCrum fruit farm is making
rapid strides in the grubbing bust
ness. Mr.. Morgan hopes to have a
large tract cleared in readiness for
spring cultivation.
j. j. Lewis, of The Dalles, spent a
few hours in Mosier one day last week.
Willie Stewart, who has passed
through a spell of pnumonia. is in a
fair way to recover, if he does not
have relapse.
Saturday evening Mr.. aud M s. G.
D. Morgan entertained number. of
their friends at progressive 500. Many
games we're enthusia stically engaged
in until cessation was called by the
service of u most sumptuous lunch.
The hospitality which at all times is
feature of the Morgan home. was
supremely prominent on that evening.
Noting was left undone to make the
evening most enjoyable one. Many
high scores woe reached but Miss
Della Mosier having gained the high
est, was awarded for her success, Il
handsome china tea cup and saucer.
Those preset were Mr.. and Mrs. G.

DUKES VALLEY.

The snow has all left us again and
the weather has been like spring for
the last few days, but look out for
next month. Some of the old settlers
prophesied hard winter, but If this
is what they call hard winter we
don't mind having a hard winter once
in while.
The Hood River Orchard company
is having more land clear and will
set more apple and pear orchards out
in the spring.
}. p. Thornsen's s leg cutters have a
good many logs ready for the saw mill
as socn as it starts up.
j. A. Knox has his new house about
finished and when it is completed it
will Ge about the finest dwelling in
the valley. The Whistler brothers are
doing the work
Some of the boys are catching some
line fish in the creek now. Chas.
Stanton is the champion fisherman.
lie can catch fish whether there are
any in the creek or not. He don't
care i any one is fishing ahead and
behind him; he fills his basket just
the sane.
There was some excitement last week
III this part of the country over the
report that Frank Massee of Willow
Flat I'D struck gold in well that he
was ing dug. Whether it is gold
or net 40 one seems to know for GER
tain, at let any ore mention gold and
there is excitement right off, and yet
the fiuit growers and farmers are TAX
ing gold and silver both off their
farms every year ard no one seems
to get very badly excited about 1t
either.
Mr. and Mrs. William Spencer of
The DalIes visited at w. A. Durham S
last week.
Mrs. Roy WoodwoTth of Belmont
was visiting friends and relatives in
the valleJ few days last week.
A few friends and neighbors gather
ed at the home of j. A. Knox last
Monday evening to celebrate the 23rd
birthday of W. A. Durham. Games
of amusement and music were the
features of the evening. A dainty
lunch and coffee were served at IL
o'clock, and at midnight all dispersed
to their homes, wishing billie
would have a birthday about once
month.

Consolidation, VS.. High School.

Editor Glacier
Dear Sir: Let US use some of your
valuable space in getting our views
on the above question, for under one
form or the other every person in
Hood River vailed should lie interest
ed. We ,tt-ud;d the meeting held
last S.tuIut' ~. the AiLlsal hall and
vas very much iLttIetsrd III SINE OF
the talks made aud amused at others.
Among tue latter was tue statement
of one man who said that the major
ity of school directors we're too mar
row minded to intellIgcntly discuss
the above questions, but let that pass
for what it is worth. We think the
union high school plan much the best
for this valley foi several reasons, the
cost in dollars and cents would amount
to about the same to construct build
ings and procure grounds, and we be-
lieve the returns from an educational
valuation would amount to the same
in the end. With consolidated sys-
tenn of the whole valley the transpor-
tation problem would be a hard mat
ter to overcome. 1t would blot out
all rural district lines and there is
not one school district in the valley
but What has a pride in their own
particular school. This would be
lost. But with high school system
the local lines would be retsined and
all grades from the eighth down would
remain as they are now One of Prof.
Alderman arguments in favor OF
central zation was that it would do
away with all the little petty griev-
ances that came up in all schools. We
think that the Professor is mistaken
in this, for our own experience has
shown us that little tact often has
the effect to queII small breeze that
if left unnoticed would in a short
time. with others added to it, devel-
ope into a cyclone that would be det-
rimental to the school, and II we we're
all in one large district there would be
dozen chicken "scraps" coming in
for the professor in charge of the con-
solidated school to settle, and he
would have to settle them in some
way, and it would use UP time hat
he would need in governing thou
sand or more pupils he would have to
look after.
No, give Ills high school up to
date in every respect; the best that
can be had IS not too good for Hood
River and the valley. 1t will possibly
take an act of the Legislature to give
us authority to do this, but by that
time some of our trolley lines will he
in operation on the west SIDE and
with the railroad Oh the cast side the
Transportation problem will he ct
least partly solved.
The above are few thoughts Of cne
of the narrow minded let us hear
from others. Nix.
