Memorial Day to BE Observed.

The q. A. X. Is making arrangements
for .the celebration of Memorial day
on Thursday, May 80. The usual
committees have been appointed and
are diligently at work preparing a
program thai will be fitting to the
day.
The W. r. @. and Sons of Veterans
will take prominent part in.the exer-
cises OF the occasion. The committee
has authorized the Glacier to extend
this invitation TO all the civic bodies
OF the city to unite with them IN the
observance of this day. The old sol
diers will march to the cemetery and
strew flowers on the graves OF their
departed comrades.
1t would be very fitting for the bus
iness houses to close their doors for
few hours In the afternoon on that
day, and assist these old veterans in
making this a memorable occasion.
The survivors of the Civil war are
rapidly yielding to the mandates of
the reaper death. 1t will not be long
until the last march to decroate their
comrades graves will have been end
cd. We need to preserve the lesson of
patriotism taught by the observance
of this great American day. Let us
all plan to contribute of our time and
talent to make this day abound with
patriotism.
Rev. W. A. Wood, pastor of the
Christian church of the city, will de-
liver the memorial sermon at the on.
era house on Sunday, May %, at lO:3O

articles OF incorporation with the sec.
retary OF state, and purposes to lend
It's aid to local and foreign capital
which seeks channel for development
in city or valley enterprises. This
company stands ready to help, aid
and assist In planting new industries
In country and town, and animate la
tent resources hitherto dormant,
The company has purchased col

1t has been suggested that splendid

corner, and that 1t may be the future
home of the Hood River Commercial
club.
The articles OF incorporation cover
a wide field of operation, among other
things is the building and operation
OF electric liIes. We hope that this
company may be successful in inter.
esting capital In this venture. 1t is
destined to come sooner or later.
The members of this new company

Billings Residence BurgIarixed.

Burglars entered the residence O
N. o. Billings insthe northeast end O
the town on last Sunday evening ant
stole q savings bank contining e8. Mr.
and Mrs. Billings left their home OF
Sunday evening, as was their custom,
TO attend church services at the Unit.
ed Brethren church. They left the
door OF the house unlocked, as they
were not In the habit OF locking il
when leaving for such a short time.
Upon departing for church they Loft
the lamp burning on the sewing ma.
chine. As soon as church was dis
missed, which was about S:45, they
went immediately to their home, and
as they had just passed the old armu
~ building they discovered that tine
light was still burning but in a sec
ond it was blown tout. As Mr.. ard
Mrs. Billings came to the house they
discovered that there had been some
one In the rooms.
An investigation proved that tie
burglar had only taken the little saw
ings bank that..stood on the dresser
containing the e8.
The dresser drawer had been open-
ed, and IL appeared that the burglar
had been In search after coin. Many
valuables were .lsiyng In plain view
but they were undistubred. A pair of
gold cuff buttons were exposed In
plain view but we're not taken. Mr..
Billings Stated that the burglar could
easily have stolen articles to the val
ne of $3.50, but for some reason be was
satisfied with the coin.
The circumstances of the theft in
dicate that the burglar was of local
babitation. IL 1t bad been a tramp or
professional, be would have taken
all the jewelry and small articles In
view. 1t is evident that the culprit
heard the footsteps of Mr.. and Mrs.
Billings as they were coming home,
and blew out the light and made his
escape. Mr.. Billings stated that some
dogs ran down in the direction of the
railroad and we're barking as il on
the trai; Of the fleeing thief. An
effort was made Immediately to 10.
cate the marshal, but being on duty
In the business district, could not be
found until the burglar had made
good his escape. We hope that the
cuplrit may be apprehended and
dealt with according to law.

Hood River Apples Awaken Interest.

Sir Bach Cunsrd, who is at the head
of the famous transatlantic Cunard
line OF steamships, had an opportun.
ity recently to sample the peerless
Hood River apples aboard one of bis
liners. The superiority of the fruit
induced him to make dilligent inquiry
concerning its origin and home. He
was informed by his agent In New
York that the fruit was grown In the
state of Oregon, at place known ss
Hood River, and was referred to ii.
f. Davidson, who had consigned the
fruit to New York city. Sir Bach
CunRrd was not content with eating
few Of the apples, he at once desired
to possess the kind OF tree that bore
them.
Mr.. Davidson referred the matter to
Frank Stanton, who Immediately
filled the captains order for four
trees of the royal SPitzen berg, which
arrived in New York April In good
condition. Sin Bach CunaId will set
these in his home lot aud enjoy the
pleasure OF witnessing the trees ma
tuIe. The several great transatlantic
steamship lines are now supplying
their steamers with the famous Hood
River apples. 1t has been discovered
that our apples take precedence over
all Others on the bill OF fare 10 the
most popular hotels aud restaurants
ia the East. Ii has been noticed that
Hood River apples have been listed
on some of the more aristocIatic men
ues at % cents each.
Hood River has never been arrogant
IN her proclamation to the world OF
.he super iority of her fruit. We have
always rested our case on the actual
merit OF our product and have ever
cen ready to take our place In the
world, In which we have

A petition, asking the Pacific States

pttlbiOu, dshinR the ACIDC OJdJHk
Telephone Co. to install more mod
ern system, has been circulated by
the business men of the city, and has
been universally signed. The petition
was referred to the Commercial club
and it was oroered forwarded by that
body to the head officials of the com
psny. 1t Ihas been apparent for some
time that the central system in oper-
alton here is eItogether inadequate to
meet the comm ercial needs of the city
and valley. Tbs time was when it met
our demands, but nov it has becom,
obsolete and antiquated. Harry Bal.
ley, who is now manager of the local
Office in Hood River, is powerless to
render a more efficient sci vice under
present conditions. Harry is a most
obliging official, and should not be
blamed on account of the negligence
of the company. The young ladies
who operate the switch board are over
worked and under paid. This oondi.
tion places them in position where
they do not especially care for theiI
job, hence, they become careless in
measure, and prompt service is not
always afforded. 1t is hoped that the
company will make the needed
change, by supplying the office with |
q modern switch board. In case this |
improvement is not made, we believe
that a local company will take the
matter In hand and give us service
commensurate with our commercial
intaraata.

Hood River Bridge Burned.

A fire alarm was sounded last Tues,
day about 10 80 a. m., causing quite
an excitement. The Mt. Hood Rail.
Rad Co. had about rs cords of sIai
wood piled near the wagon bl lidge thai
crosses Hood river, and 1t is possible
that spark from the engine that was
switching In the yard lodged in the
wood and caused the fire. The vino
was blowing quite strongly from the
west and 1t soon famed the little
flame into mighty blaze.
The lire company responded prompt
ly with the chemical engine and OK
hausted its supply without apparent
effect. The water plugs we're at toe
great distance from the fire to be OF
service as the hose was entirely toe
short to reach the flames. A small
hose was attached to the railroad com.
pany's water pipe and this was used
to I'LL the buckets which we're passed
from man to man for the distance oi
about 100 feet, and then carried III
the ladder and applied to the blaze.
This was most ineonvenient way to
fight fire, hut all hands worked like
mombois Va q phiu HIo ublhLbinbHt,.
A small hose was finally secured aud
extended to the fire which disposed OF
the bucket brigade. 1t appeared fol
a time that the fire was under con.
troll, and that the bridge could be
saved, but the extreme heat caused BY
the fire underneath and augmented by
the heavy wind, would rekindle the
blaze as soon as the water was turned
In another direction. The flames orept
slowly along the stringers underneath
the bridge until it had eaten its way
through between the bents, thus sep
arating the heavy timbers one from
the other until they finally broke loose
and fell to the ground below.
Three spans, each 20 feet In length,
and two bents represents the loss,
which Is estimated at $500. The bridge
was immediately repaired and will
probably be ready for tratiio today.
