new ENGLANDER BUYS
BARRETT RANCH

A deal has Just been closed through
the Office Of G. Y. Edwards for the
sale of the Frank Gillian l0-acre ranch
near the Barrett school to II. G. Zll-
liacus, Of Boston, Mass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Zilliacus were in Hood
River during the month Of April and
we're so impressed with the beauties Of
the valley that they determined to
make it their future home. Mr.. Zilli
acus is the proprietor of a large de-
partment store in his home city and is
also vice president of the Gorham-
Wood Stove Mfg. Co., of Bangor,
Maine, one Of the largest manufactur-
ers of ranges on the Atlantic coast.
He will remove his family to Hood
River about October ], until which
time Mr.. Gillian will continue to care
for the place, harvesting the crop for
this year.
Hood River will loose a substantial
family in the Gillams, who will remove
to Portland, where Mr.. Gillian expects
to again enter the government service
with which he was connected for 70
years.
A letter received from Mr.. Zilliacus
by Edwards a. Go. stated that during
the summer at least four other parties
from Boston will purchase property IN
this valley, owing to the glowing re-
ports which he carried back with him.

Went as He Ate.

General Winfield Scott was a nota-
BILE figure in the Washington society
of sixty years ago described by Mrs.
Marion Gouverneur In her volume of
"reminiscences. "As Remember" The
general was something of an epicure.
Mrs Gouverneur recalls seeing him
sit down with great satisfaction to n
meal consisting principally of jowl.
He did the family marketing person
ally and was discriminating In the
selection of food. Terrapin, which he
insisted upon pronouncing tarrapin,
was his favorite DISH and he would
order oysters by the barrel from Nor
folk. On one occasion he attended a
banquet where all the states Of the
Union were represented by dish in
some way characteristic of each COM
monwealth. Pennsylvania was repre-
sented by a bowl of sauerkraut, and
in speaking of the fact the next morn
ing the general remarked, II partook
of it with tears In my eyes"

TINY ACTRESS
WINS APPLAUSE

Little Miss Margaret Bttener, the
tiny actress that appeared this week
at the Electric Theatre, won the hearts
of those who saw her appear as the
adopted waf in the sketch that was
given here Sunday, Monday and Tues
day by her and her parents. The little
girl is clever. With her big eyes that
have a kind Of bewitching sadness she
rips out the slang she has learned at
the orphan asylum, her home before
the adoption by the old country couple,
the parts played by her parents, with
such spontaneity as to claim absolute
attention. The little actress plays
next week at the Pantages in Portland
and will then begin an engagement
with moving picture concern.
Little Margaret is ''the whole
show" She is the star that one wants
to throw flowers at. She's Just a child
full of life, and her little outbursts of
energy causes the audience to lose
sight of the poor playlet with which
she and her parents are trying to
amuse folks and wonder how they
could make little girl like her happy.
Here s success to you. little Margaret

SesquipedaIian Words.

Mark Twain Is not the only person
to find amusement in the German Ian
guage. writer in the Paris Steele
accounts for the deliberation with
which the negotiations over the Moroc-
can difficulty were carried ON.
"Our lnterlocutors cannot end their
explanations" he says with the
best will in the world they cannot pro-
nounce rapidly such words as this:
'Antialkoholcongre tgliederverzeich-
Observation-Disclosures anschlagprufungs-
commissionsversamm la dungs-
karten. This little word means 'Invi-
tation cards for the meeting Of the
commission for verifying the accounts
of the expenses of printing the list Of
members of the and-alcoholic con-
gress.'"
The effect Of the German tongue is
thus seen to be the exact opposite Of
what 1t might be supposed to be. 1t is
deterrent to war instead of a provo
cation.

SNOW STILL COVERS
PART OF TRAIL

Barney Cooper, forest ranger of
Mount Hood, has just returned from a
trip with Ralph Shelley, deputy forest
supervisor of the state, over a trail cut
by crew OF men last year flom a
point near Lost Lake in the southern
part of this county to the Sandy road.
MIR. Cooper went with the deputy su-
pervisor as far as the summit OF the
grade. The trail has withstood the
winter well, according to his report
and with the exception Of two or three
miles, where the snow was between
FIVE and six feet deep they found the
travelling excellent. MIR. Shelley writes
back that the other side of the grade is
good.
The government cut the passage
around the base of Mount Hood last
year to facilitate the fighting of forest
fires on the range. Before it was built
it had been impossible to transport
men and apparatus from this side of
the mountain to the south side. Mr..
Shelley states that forest fire was
discovered the other day as he passed
over the trail near Welsh s, where the
trail intersects the Sandy road, for
est fire that might have proved very
disastrous had It been allowed to gain
greater headway.
The proposed road, connecting with
Sandy and giving highway from
Portland at the base of the mountain
and through the midst of the gorgeous
scenery of Mount Hood, will traverse
the route of the trail, which in no case
attains a grade greater than tive per
cent. 'In some places, says MIR.
Cooper, "the grade will be no greater
than three per cent. The government
has been asked for an appropriation in
order that a finished wagon road may
he built around the base Of the noun
tain. II is thought that the money will
be appropriated for the highway. III
such is the case y says Mr.. Cooper,
"the highway will be made passable
for wagons before the year is over
with.
All who have been over the route de-
clare that il is unsurpassed in gran
deur of scenery. AT one point where it
passes over the head waters of the
Sandy river, the traveller has an OPP
portunity of looking but mile up the
gorge into the very crevasses of the
Sandy glacier. Hood River county has
realized the Importance of building
connections with the trail and already
as much as possible, with limited funds,
mas been done on the Lost Lake road,
which will connect the trail with the
highway leading into Dee. County
Murray Kay has just finished
plotting designs for new wagon
bridge over West Fork of Hood river.
