On the downward Path.

W. r. Helvia, boy about II years
old, was caught by Marshal Ganger
with gang of toughs and locked up
Saturday night. The boy said that he
had been tramping 1t since leaving
home in Salem, and confessed to be
ing in the company of an ex-eonvict,
a piekpocket end two hobos. He also
said that the pickpoeket had robbed
two people that he knew of at The de
pot, one of 800 and one of $40. The
msrshal bought the 10y ticket to Sa-
lem, keeping his watch as security.
and the boys father notified He
said his father was in the employ of
the Salem Statesman. From the in
formation secured from the boy the

Another Brick Block.

DR.. Bosius has decided to build on
the rest of his lot on Oak street. and
will erect a kuiliing 40x50 feet ad.
joining the present block on the west.
The ground is now occupied by o. p.
Ross as a confectionery store and o..
Ii. Gray as barber shop. Mr.. Gray
has secured location in the room
just vacated by S. IL. Souls, but Ross
has as yet been unable to secure suit
able quarters. The old wooden build.
ings win be moved at once as the new
building must be up in so days to ac-
commodate the new tenants.
Within two hours after DIR. Brosius
had decided to build the whole OF the
space had been rented. Vogt Bros.
will have the entire lower floor for
their increasing business. and the
Home Telephone Co. will take over
half of the upper flooI for their gen.
eral office and exchange. There are
options ON the remaining Office rooms.
On account of accommodating the
tenants of the wooden buildings until
they could secure quarters, DR.. Bros
ius wished to move the wooden build
ing to the rear of the new bank build
ing, hut found that it would conflict
with the ordinance. and the plan has
been abandoned.
1t IL help to the town to have the
new block built, which, added to the
new Nichols block, will give added
room to the increasing business Of the
city, as we'll as locations which will
be much safer in case of fire.

Ing the enemy unawares on his own

took comfort in his method for miti-

have chuckled when he wrote In his
diary the bit which is given In James
Schouler's Historical Briefs
If a man surrendered his arm to be
shaken by one horizontally, by another
perpendlcularly and by another with
a strong grip, he could not fail to suf-
fer severely by it. But If he would
shake and not be shaken, grip and not
be gripped, taking care always to
squeeze the hand Of bis adversary as
hard as the adversary squeezed him,
he would suffer no inconvenience by 1t.

Will Build a Tabernacle.

The Grangers have determined that
their Grange park will be credit to
Hood River and will eXpend consider
abtel money in doing things in good
shape, building for the future as we'll
as the present. The committee have
decided that they will duplicate the
fine auditorium at the Chautauqua
grounds at Gladstone Park, and when
completed the building will hold fully
5000 people.
The first meeting to be held In the
grounds will be the Hawkeye picnic,
which will be sort of dedicatory oc-
casion. Work will be begun at once in
liking up the grounds so as to te
ready for the Iowa crowd. There ia
no doubt it will be an occasion to be
remembered, A fine program will be
arranged aud there will be large at.
tendance.
Subscriptions to the fund for tho
Grange park are being subscribed to
literally, and it is hoped to raise
enough to build permanently. AS
much as possible will be done this
year, and added to from year TO year.
1t will be free park for proper use,
and Is intended to be open to city as
we'll as country and Grange people.
As there is no park in the city, it is
expected that it will be a favorite
place tor city people. The location is
central, being but couple of tiles
from the city, and accessible from ali
directions.
Work viii be commenced Tuesday
morning aud all those who have con-
tributed labor should be there with
teams, wagons dump boards, picks
and shovels and those who have not
yet contributed, should be there also
and will be given an opportunity.

Serious Accident.

A son of W. Il. Vannier, in the
Pine Grove district, met with seIi.
Gus accident Saturday. While going
up the east side grade with a load of
brick, he was thrown off the wagon
in some manner and the hind wheel
passed over his body. He was discov-
cred by pas sing team and brought
to the city, where he was examined
by "a physician. The extent of the in
jury Is still uncertain. Ii Is feared
that some injury may have resulted to
his spine, which may or may not
prove permanent. Other internal in.
juries may develop later, but his re.
covery from permanent injury is still
looked for,

until Monday morning. Fright and
early all we're astir and soon on their
way to the beautiful old Mount Hood.
Everything went on nicely after
they arrived aud so they spent Tues

places of interest about the iun aud
Thursday was the day chosen for the
clint. After they all got their pret-
ty faces BACKED they had picture
taken, then started for the dizzy
heights. The party remained ON top
about an hour, then started on the
des eut, which went we'll until after
they lett he rope line when Miss Bid
dinger's feet we're so cold that she
lost coutIol over them. She fell,
rolled and slid some 1900 feet down
the dangerous slope, but good luck
prevailed and she was only bruised.
Words cannot tell how badly scared
she was. Tney arrived back at the inn
safely before seven o'clock.
Friday morning they broke camp
and came back Co Mr.. Davidson's TO
take dinner as they were all longing
for some of that good bread OF

Rev. G. A. Nutley, the new pastor OF
the Baptist church, will preach bis
first serm next Sunday morning.
Mr.. Nulty comes from Gresham, Ore. +,
where he was pastor of the Baptist
church in that city. We are pleased
to welcome tie reverend gentleman
and his family to Hood River.
The following fine tribute to Rev.
and Mrs. Nutley we clip from the
Beaver State Heard at Gresham:
"Ihe community of Gresham, and
we may say the people OF this entire
field, exceedingly regret ths loss of
Rev. and Mrs G. A. Nutlay and fam
lily, who lett this week for their new
home at Hood River, where MIR. Nut
ley will have charge of the Baptist
church. In Mr.. Nutley the Herald
has had a q aunch fiiend. From the
day of the inception of the little pa
per, he commenced pulling for the
home sheet and has been working for
it heart and soul ever since. Rev.
NutIey's work here as pastor and
citizen has been of the kind that
wears. He has filled a place in the
entile district that has been hard to
I'LL. As pastor of Gresham and Pleas
ant Home Baptist churches and as
president of the Gresham Library as
sooiation he has proven himself to be
loyal and efficient worker for the
Master. A sweet and loving disposi
tion, a noble, manly character. shilk-
ing no duty, humble and consecrat-
ed, godly man, he has made host OF
friends who regret to see him and his
estimable and accomplished wife and
family leave the field where they have
labored so long and we'll. Our loss is

sold to A. +. Adams, OF Sioux City,
and W. A. SchaffneI, of TT. Dodge,
Iowa, who came to Hood River cou-
pie of weeks ago In search of a busi-

Clarence Gilbert Buys a Cadillac.

Clarence Gilbert has purchased the
auto that made the fist trip to Cloud
Cap Inn, and proposes to use 1t tor
the guests of his hotel or others in
making regular tlips around the val
ley. Ii possible, regular schedule
time csrd will be made, and a regular
fare charged for each passenger. 1t is
thought the demand for trips of this
kind will make it profitable, and that
the Cadillac will be kept busy.

The action of Judge Lands in find
ing the Stendard Oil twenty nine and
quarter million dollars, meets with
general satisfaction. While the peo.
Pile may have to pay the fine in in
creased prices, yet 1t will probably
make but little difference. 1t has al
ways been the policy of the Standard
Oil to "charge all the traffic would
bear" The action shows that the
government is after the trusts, and
will finally get them through scme
loop hole or other.

MOUNT HOOD.

The crowd consisting of Mrs. V.
Carlton, OF st. Johns, Misse Via
Marsh and Josie Biddinger, of Sha-
maka a, WASH, Lena Glasscock, of
Heppner, Messrs. N. o. Balm, OF
Portland, G. r. Merkel, of Seattle,
Jas. Davidson and Olville BiduiDger,
of Mt. Hood, who have been camping
for the past two weeks in the Mt.
Hood settlement, broke camp last Fri
day night and on Saturday they left
for their various homes with the ex-
ception OF Miss Biddinger, who spent
Sunday at the home of A. M. Kelly,
and N. o. Balm, who will stay a
month with Davidson and Biddinger.
This patty climbed Mt. Hood on July
25th, and we're well pleased with the
trip. They then moved their camp to
the Devils Punch Bowl and spent
most OF the time fishing as the season
was at its height.
They all enjoyed camp life very
much especially the dough gods and
flap jacks, but surely it was not a
case OF ''let the women do the work, "
for II 1t had been there would have
been no breakfast at all. Mrs. Carl
ton acted as chaperone the first of the
week but as she found it necessary to
return home earlier than the rest, she
resigned her strenuous position and
appointed Miss BiddingeI as her sue
cessor, who tried to fill the position
to the best of her ability, but surely
had her hands full.
The mountain trip was planned last
summer so the crowd talked of trip
tor next season that they would take
to Alaska in July or August.

ium to be built two miles south of
town is In the line of progress, and
reflects great credit on the Changers,
and especially this who originated
the idea. Beautiful as is the city OF
Hood River, she has no public park,
and 10 the lower part of town there is
no ground left that is suitable for
such purposes, which could be oh
tanned at any price which would JUS
tify the city in appropriating money

Four Bad Snakes.

Snakes are much maligned creatures,
although they are, for the most part,
of considerable value to man, as they
live almost entirely on insects and the
small rodents that are injurious to
crops. OF all the snakes that inhabit
North America there are really only
four that are dangerous. These are
the copperhead, the moccasin. the rat
tlesnake and little snake of southern
Georgia and Florida known as the
coral snake. OF course there are a
number of different species of the rat
tier (about thirty, but they inhabit
different parts of the country and are
all to be known from the fact that they
rattle" when approached. All the
rest Of our snakes are absolutely
harmless, and their bite is to be less
feared than that of a mosquito.-scrap

"We never repent of eating too little, "
was one of the ten rules of life OF
Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
everyone without exception during this
hot weather, because it is hard for food.
even in small quantities, to be digested
when the blood is at high temperature.
At this season we should eat sparingly
and properly. We should also help the
stomach as much as possible by the use
of little Kodol For Indigestion and
