ALMOST AS GOOD
AS HOOD RIVER

The Hood River Glacier is known all
over Oregon for the large amount Of
home advertising that it carries, by
long odds more than is carried by any
other weekly paper. Much OF this Is
real estate advertising, owing to the
boom that country is having in the or
chard line. and the paper is hardly
ever less than ten pages, and some
times twelve pages, all Of them being
we'll filled with the announcements OF
people who have something to sell.
The Glacier is only seven columns IN
width, while the ltemizer is eight, but
the columns Of both papers are the
same in length. While looking over
the Glacier the other evening we
thought that just for fun we would
count up and see Just how many inches
of advertising they were carrying, and
compare it with that in the ltemizer,
to see how we could be rated as an up
to-date promotion burg. We found
that the Glacier had 1915 inches OF pay
ing ads, while the ltemizer could only
muster SCI, they beating us out IN that
lively burg by l54 inches. Taking INTO
consideration the way that section has
beea doomed for a number Of years
and the continual advertising the town
and its apples are always receiving all
over the world, we did not look upon
that record as such an awful bad beat.
nor in any way detrimental to the adj
vertising abilities of our merchants,
when pitted against much larger
town. Some day you will see the
newspapers of Dallas carrying as much
advertising as Hood River, when we
have secured the name and have the
many diversified interests. In fact
the Itemizer is proud of the record,
really expecting that the Glacier
would beat us much more than they
did. Dallas Itemizer

FROM OTHER PENS.

Senator Bailey believes that the old
discussion about whether Lord Bacon
wrote the plays of William Shakes
peare can be the cause Of lot humor-
Gus talk, and in substantiation OF this
he tells a story about Joe Blackburn,
formerly Senator from Kentucky, and
more recently a member of the Pan
anna Canal Commission.
Blackburn and Dick Wintersmith, a
wit we'll known in Washington, gave a
dinner to Ignatius Donnelly, who was
a great authority on literature and ar
gued that Bacon turned out the mas
terpieces of Shakespeare.
Blackburn called on Donnelly for his
usual speech on the subject, and the
other diners listened to it in patience.

great interest, said Wintersmith at
the conclusion of the speech; but Joe

speare wrote Shakespeare's plays.

there when he did il"

hundred years ago.
At that, Blackburn turned to Win

Representative Burleson, of Texas,
is proud of telling how big and power
full is the state in which he has the
honor to live.
'It's so big, said BurIeson on one
occasion, that some OF its people
don't bother about the rest of the
country. One day Colonel Edgar,
editor and owner Of The Lincoln
Star Nebraska, was travelling IN the
state. and he came to little railroad
station. At that time all newspaper
editors had telegraph franks. The
Colonel wrote out telegram and
carried it into the telegraph Office.

slender and fierce looking, said

CLIFTON HOWELL
 NEW PRESIDENT
Succeeds His Father, the Late F. (. Howell, as Head of the Hammett Grocer Company-Elected b! Di-
 rectOrs at Special Meeting.

Clifton Howell was yesterday elect ed president of the Hammett Grocer Company, one of the largest and strongest concerns of this section, to succeed his father, the late Ev c. Howell, who died in this city few weeks ago. The election of MT. Howell to the head of the big whole sale house took place at a special meeting of the directors of the con- pany.
 Clifton Howell is young man of exceptionally fine business ability He is experienced in handling the affairs of the big grocery house, having been connected with the firm for some years, until his retirement few years ago to engage in the cotton business with Dan Rutledge. He is a young man, but gives promise of being a valuable man in his new capacity.
 Under the able management of his father and the late H. H. Hum be- fore him, the Hammett Grocer Com pany has developed into one of the largest and most lucrative business houses in Southeast Arkansas. The new president will doubtless increase his already general popularity and re- fleet credit upon himself and the in- : stitution. The late E. c. Howell besides being held in the highest es- teem in commercial and social cir. cles, enjoyed great popularity with ! all his acquaintances.

 $30,000 Damages NOT A TRESPASSER
Say neys-Gontention Made That Railroad Tracks Were Used
 as Public Highway.

Little Rock, Ark, July S.==A suit asking $30,000 damages was today filed in the Pulaski Circuit court by \ D. Mcconnell, administrator of the Cotton Belt railroad. The suit is filed by A. c. Oracle, John F. Cliff ford and Mehaffy & Williams as attor- neys for the plaintiff. Zeisler is the man who several months ago was walking across a bridge near Rob Roy with his wife and Heath Dobson and wife, and all were run down by a freight train and killed with the eX- ception of Mrs Zeisler. The two men Were Workmen on the Cotton Belt bridge and had been to Rob Roy for mail. The plaintiff asks $25,- estate. The complaint states the de- ceased was not a trespasser, but was walking along bridge which had become freely used as a public high way, was using proper discretion when a train came upon the party without warning by the ringing of a bell or footing of a whistle, and ran them down. The railroad attorneys are said to deny liability on the grounds the three people killed were trespasing On company property al the time the accident occurred, an( assumed all risks when they did so

 Sunday Morning.

Tonight ait the Christian church tent, MT. E. E. Eioletts theme will be
 The Worst Thing in Pine Bluff" His scrl 5ture reading will Be Third Chapter of First John Mr Violett's wonderful memory, he being able tG reclte chapter after chapter, without error, continues to hold eyerv0ne's attention nightly.
 Among the unusual treats in store for the audience last evening was a vocal duet sung by MT. Haley and Miss Lillian Vail, of Patoka, III.
 MT. Violett's sermon on Why I Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God was splend:dly delivered His heart searching, eloquent and soul stirring addresses are winning many over to the church.
 Before beginning his subject. sWhy l Believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God Mr. Violett once more stated the meaning of the invitation given at the close of his sermon in about the following language: We invite Eoll to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as the only begotton Son of God as'd your only savior, and to take him and him only as your creed and th Bible and the Bible only as your rule of faith and practice. His discourse in part was as follows There is |; ancient legion that tells us this story That when Joseph and Mary went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea. Joseph worked in a carpenter shop in the city of Cairo, on the Nile, and Mary spent days in hiding and the legion goes on to tell IS that gypsy woman took the tiny left hand of Jesus Christ and traced the life history n the hand then took his other hanl ir her palm and read the life history of his right hand. She looked up into the face of Mary and said Mary, whence came you Do you know this is divine child. And so the story goes on. Mary declared the child was Christ and she went on and told the eypsy woman how the child was born in the manager and that an an- gel of the Lord came upon them. and the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were afraid. And the angel said unto them. Fear not for, behold, bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
 people. For unto you is born thls day a saviour, which is Christ the Lord 2
 q MT. Violet went on to illustrate
 why he believed Jesus Christ to be the son of God and how, after many years of search and criticism, tue neonle are believing the story o' } Jesus Christ and taking up the study } of the Bible, more every day. He gave as his first strong reason in b"- lieving Jesus Christ to be the son ol
