Turned Joke on Inspector.

This curious incident comes from
Suhr. Switzerland: An inspector of
schools, without any previous warn
ing, visited the village school and
found the elderly teacher asleep at
his desk and the children departed,
having apparently taken French leave.
To give the teacher a great surprise
and bad quarter of an hour, the In
spector decided to wait until he
awoke, and seated himself on bench
In front OF the culprlt. The hours
passed and the inspector himself
went to sleep The teacher, on awak.
ening and seeing who was sleeping
before him, quietly left the school for
home. without entering the school
room the concierge locked up the
school and the slumbering inspector.
Several hours later the concierge
heard a great noise and, armlng him,
self, opened the door, and was greatly
surprised to find the angry inspector
before him.

After Mr.. owen had taken his seat

that the Democrats had been blessed
with plenty of funds during the chair
manship of the Mayor, and that he

report be published Hon Joseph f..
Carbon was against the publishing OF
campa gn expenditures, saying that 1t
would cost the greater part OF the
money on hand to pay for the pub

inquired If it was not Democratic to
publish campaign expenses to which
the Baltimore delegate was forced to
reply in the affirmative, and notwith-
stand ng Mr.. Gardens opposition the
report was ordered published.
Then came the real scrap of the
day. The afternoon was warm, the
crowd had grown considerably small

ing freely on account of warmth with

within arose. The orator looked
around the room and imagined he
saw muttudes before him. This was
a conundrum to the spectators, as
well as the delegates, from the fact
that the crowd had dwindled materi-

how any one could see double in such
a dry town. But this gentleman evil

FRUIT PROSPECTS
CONTINUE GOOD

Cherries are ripening very fast in all
sections and many shipments are now
reaching market. Late varieties are
showing loss and heavy dropping is
reported from many sections. Not
withstanding this the outlook at pres
ent is for better than average yield.
Peaches reflected no improvement or
loss since last weeks report. The
outlook is not promising in any section.
Apple crop outlook continues very
favorbie in practically all of the better
known districts. Here and there, in
isolated instances, damage is shown to
a more or less extent, but taking the
situation as whole the outlook could
scarcely be improved.
Loganberry crop prospects are unus-
ually good at all Willamette valley
points and the same is true as regards
blackberries.
With the greatest acreage by far on
record the prospects at present are
for potato output that will far eclipse
all previous paintings at every point in
the Pacific northwest. In the William
ette valley new potatoes are already of
good size and are being consumed in a
limited way The percentage of early
crop will be greater than ever before
this season. Some additional planting
for late potatoes is reported in the
various districts.
Good growth is shown in the several
leading onion districts of the William
ette valley. Acreage is considered
about 25 per cent greater and the
present crop is perfect.

Appeal Made for Library

The work of organizing the new
county library and getting 1t ready for
the use of the people by Sept. is pro-
crossing nicely. Applications are be-
ing received and considered for the
position of librarian, as well as bids
for suitable room. The book lists
will be completed ready for ordering by
July !. The book committee asks
through this notice for donations either
of money or books. The running ex-
penses until March |, 1918 have been
provided r.out of existing funds and
the remaining funds will be used to
purchase books. These are not suffi-
cient to equip the library with books
as it needs to be. Any money now do
mated will purchase additional books.
Two donations have been received al
ready, one of $40 and the other of $50.
Persons having books that they will
donate will kindly make list of them
and mail it to a member of the book
committee. When the order lists are
completed you will be notified what
books of your list can be used. This
will avoid the buying of duplicate cop
iessand increase the number of books.
The members of the committee are
Miss Mary McLaren, j T. Lucas and
j. o. Mclaughlin. This library is or
agnized on the same plan as the Mutt
nomah county library, better known as
the Portland library, and will afford
equal service to the city and all parts
of the country. Like all similar insti-
tutions. that help is the greatest which
is received during its inception. Will
you kindly do your part as soon as you
read this notice. Contributed.

OVERASSESSMENT
BEING REFUNDED

The bonds for sewer districts Nos. 2,
6 and Z having been made. the city is
making refunds to the citizens assessed
for this work to the extent of $573S. 25.
1t is unusual that expense is overesti-
mated. However, in this case the
expenses of construction were smaller
by the above amount than estimated,
and the mayor and recorder are draw
ing warrants for the refund.
The city council held ne meeting
Monday night. but will assemble to-
night for the consideration of business.
The recorder, Henry L. Howe, has
received a communication from the
Oregon Road Oiling Co. in which it
is stated that they will be here tomor-

ing streets: State from Front to

SMITH BOTTLES
CLOUD CAP Inn

Because of the fact that Dorsey B
Smith, who will operate Cloud Cap lnr
this year, will operate an automobile
bus from this city, arrangements hav
ing already been made for this means
of transportation, the Mt. Hood X. K.
Co. and the O.-W. r. F& N. system
have cancelled their agreement for a
special round trip fare of $40 from
Portland to the popular summer resort.
The latter arrangement had been made
for a trip by rail from this city to
Parkdale and thence by motor stage
to the Inn but six miles away. How
ever, MIR. Smith refuses to allow any
other than his own to make use Of the
private road to the Inn without the
payment of SIS toll fee.
1t was hoped that the railroad route
would be maintained and the passeu-
gers thus freed from the extra expense
and the dust of the outlying highways.
The round trip charged from Portland
over the O.-W. X. a. N. line and the
Hood River-Cloud Cap auto bus is
$3.50.

INCREASE MADE
IN GRINDST0NES

The abrasive industry in the United
States showed a gain in 1911 compared
with 1910. according to W. {. Phale,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, in advance chapter from Mineral
Resources Of the United States" for
1911. Though the total value Of the
abrasive materials entering the trade
fell off. the decline was in the impor-
tation and not in the domestic prOdue-
tion. which increased slightly IN value.
The value Of the natural abrasiyes
produced increased Sll9,9 which was
more than enough TO Offset the de
crease in the value Of the artificial
abrasives produced. The fact that the
decline in the total figure is attnbut-
able chiefly to the falling off in i'm
ports is good indication of an iucreas-
ingly healthy condition in the domestic
industry.
The value of the abrasive materials
consumed in the United States IN 1911
was 50. 725, ,223. of which S3,0l9, SOB
worth was Of domestic production. In
the 4 natural-abrasiv industry gains
were shown in the production Of mill
stones anu tue quarry plounNh9 HA"NN
in connection with them, such as
chasers and drag stones, Of grindstones
and pulpstones, of abrasive garnet, and
of infusorial earth and tripoli. There
was a very slight decrease IN the value
Of the oilstones and seythestOnes pro-
duced and a small decrease in the
production Of pumice. The greatest
decrease was shown in the production
Of emery.
The annual report on abrasiyes pub
lished by the Geological Survey con
tains from year to year detailed de
scriptioBs of the various abrasive
industries. The report for 1911 includes
a description OF the milestone industry
in New York and Virginia the oilstore
of Arkansas garnet milling IN New
Hampshire, etc. In previous years
other branches Of the industry have
been treated. In this way the entire
field is covered every few years and
the different chapters thus serve as a
contemporary review Of the conditions
IN the industry The report also in
cludes complete statistics Of production
of the abrasive materials produced IN
the United States, together with tables
Of exports, imports, etc. Natural alb
rasives were produced in "a states of
the Union in 1911.

Not year has passed since the forests

the most Of them caused by careless

proaches criminal negligence.
Much has been done during the past
few years toward educating the city
people, who desire to make use of ma

halls for their outings, and teaching
them to be exceedingly careful with

AN OPPORTUNITY

In the White Salmon notes in another
column of the Glacier is an item stat
ing that a White Salmon woman will
preserve a large number of jars Of
strawberries by the "sun cooked" pro-
cess. Have you ever eaten any "sun
cooked" strawberries2 II not. you
have a decided treat coming. When
cooked by the heat of fire, the berry
not only loses much of its color, but
the distinct strawberry flavor that
tickles the palate. when the fruit is
fresh from the vine, is destroyed.
However, when treated by the heat Of
the summer sun, the berries retain
both color and vor-they taste as
we'll as they look.
An opportunity awaits some enter
prising citizen of Hood River. The
"sun cooked" Hood River strawberry
may one day be as popular as the fa-
nous Clark Seedlings just from the

not be needed to make "a good begin.

.SPRINKLING SYSTEM
PLANNED BY NATIONAL

The new storage building of the Ma
tional Apple CO., which in addition to
handling the fruit of its own members,
who are among the larger orchardists
of the valley, will handle the apples
from all other standard orchards, will
be the latest and most improved CON
struction in the storage builders art.
Bell 4 Wildman, of Portland, have
completed the designs for the large
building, bids for the building of which
have been advertised. The structure
will be equipped with an automatic
sprinkling system, which will limit the
danger of fire to a practical nulity.
