DOG BY MISTAKE
SENT TO LAUNDRY

That the Hood River Steam Laundry
is very efficient as far as cleaning.
soiled linens is concerned is generally
conceded but Manager Adams was
nearly stumped this week when a
certain Hood River lady who has i'm
plicit faith in the laundry's ability to
clean anything that is dirty sent her
pet dog out in the weeks bundle of
soiled clothes.
Manager Adams who AYERS that he
has had very little experience in the
laundering o.. .soiled pups Immediately
called the lady up on the phone to
ascertain whether of not the said
canine was to be 'blued and starched"
or done up trough dry" but was un-
able to obtain any great amount of
satisfaction as to the method which
should be persued in modern steam
laundry in eases of this kind.
The dog, which is the property of
Mrs. Simms, is young puppy. The
laundry bag was left open on the rear
porch Monday morning. 1t offered
cool mapping place and when the
laundry wagon came the sleeping rpup
was carried away. The girl, who re-
ceives the clothing, almost tainted
when she drew out the yelping and
astonshed doggie.

Valley Christian Church.

Those who are staying away Sunday
evenings from the forum are missing
something which they may well regret
the remainder of their lives. The
equal of the discourses can. not be
found in the valley.and the singing is
of a nature to gladden. the heart.
Last Sunday evening Mayor Hartwig
spoke on 1.-The Relationship Between
Church, or Religious and Political
Institutions. He is as well fitted as
any in Hood River to talk on a subject
of that kind and filled the bill to a
kings taste. An announcement was
made the week before that DR..
Dumble would speak also but he was
detained at the last minute.
Next Sunday evening Prof. Rodwell
of East Barrett will speak about the
PHILIPPINES. Prof. Rodwell has spent
seven years as teacher among the
Filipinos and is well fitted to talk on
conditions there. Mrs. Irene Arm
strong will sing for us. Mrs. Arm
strong. as many know, is one of the
best soloists in the valley and she
alone will be we'll worth coming to
hear Roy Cornell, a pre-eminent
cornetist of Hood River, will favor us
with cornet solo.
The Ladies Aid meets at the home of
Mrs. B. l.. Murphy Thursday after
noon of this week.
Next Saturday afternoon the Live
Wires ard Loyal Sons will cross bats
on the Methodist Lane diamond near
the Barrett schoolhouse. If you want
to see one of thoes old fashioned ball
games, come for the score will be
something 2 or 3. The Loyal Sons
are going to get walkaway.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS
VISIT CLOUD CAP

An outing at Cloud Cap Inn onlthe
side of Mount Hood, where the guest
may look at any moment upon the
wonderful scenery a d behold the gla-
cial formations, is one of the best that
can be taken in the United states,
assert the guests that are daily coming
and going from this city by the dliier-
ent auto stages that take passengers
TO the famous resort. IL IS SAID that
the seracs and clevasses Of the won
derful ice formations were never more
beautiful than this summer The
"SBow Snakes" aud Ice GOphers are
coming from their winter quarters ana
are panty discernible By those visiting
the region.
An unusual phenomenon was recent
~ enjoyed by the Cloud Cap guests.
A noise, like the rapid fire Of battery
Of artillery was heard coming from
Eliot Glacier. A few moments later
two geyser-like streams OF water shOt
high in the heavens from holes forced
through the ice. The only explanation
for the occurrence rs that the con-
tinued warm weather melted the snow
so rapidly that it carried down large
amount of debris and stopped the
outlet for the water underneath the
glacier. When the pressure became
too great the holes were forced in the
wall of ice.
The Inn has had several distinguished
guests the past week. Judge Harrlng-

Concrete Has Proven Satisfactory.

Recent articles in number Of
engineering journals of the country
highly endorse concrete paving. The
cities Of Roisc, Idaho, Olympia,
WASH. and independence. Ore, are
using the materia extensively in the
construction of paving this summer.
In commenting upon the paving Of
Iowa City the specifications for which
were identical with the paving to be
done by this city, the Engineering
Record says:
"ln-the summer of 1909 about 6,0OO
square yards of concrete pavement was
