Goodwin's Weekly, a virile journal OF
Salt Lake City, in speaking of the
scenery that one may behold by COM
ing to the Rockies or travelling to the
Cascades of California and the Pacific
Northwest, and in criticising the peo.
pie Of the eastern portion Of the United
States for travelling abroad to see far
less magnificent natural wonders, says
If the travellers way is to the north
west, then a day spent in taking in the
Snake river will give him new ideas of
the majesty of omnipotence, and con-
tinuing his way to where rolls the
Oregon, he will realize that it is the
very finest river Of all this world.
There are larger rivers, but not one
that holds its perfect way amid such
scenery as forms its banks from where
it breaks through the mountains and
finds its way TO the sea.
Scenic lovers will soon cease going
east and turn TO our west.

ers of the Transfer & Livery Co., was

OUR 18Th BIRTHDAY

With this weeks issue the Glacier
has rounded out the quarter Of a cen,
tury mark. The Glacier is almost a:
old as the oldest commercial orchard
Of the now world famous apple dis,
trict. 1t is as old as the predominant
fruit industry Of the valley, which has
been copied by every other successful
fruit region Of the northwest.
In all the 2j years Of its existence
the Glacier has eudeavored to marx
time for the progress Of the mid-Co-
lumbia community. Hood River news
and Hood River interest first, has al
ways been and will continue TO be its
policy. As has been expressed in the
past, it has expressed its sympathy for
those in grief, and uttered words Of
commendatiOn and praise whenever it
has felt that they were deserved. At
moments it has been critical, but its
attacks have been sincere and uttered
in a sense of fairness.
No community Of the Pacific north
west. where growth has been phenom-
enal in many cities and districts, has
grown any faster and developed any
more rapidly in the past quarter of
century than has Hood River.
The Glacier is proud of the hand it
has had in this development, and it
looks forward with optimism to the fu.
ture progress Of a community that
draws visitors from all corners of the
world, not only because Of the excel
lence of It's apples, but for he unri-
vailed scenic environment that is
part of it.

MERCHANTS PLAN
BIG BARGAIN DAYS

Beginning June "a, when sales of the
first day will be made, Hood River
merchants will have monthly market
days. Practically all of the stores have
fallen in with the idea and will offer
special bargains at spot cash.
"The plan, says d. G. Cruikshank,
of the 5, 10 and Is cent store, lis to
show the people Of the surrounding
country that Hood River is the place
for all of them that can get here to
trade"
The visiting shoppers will be enter
tianed on each bargain day. On June
"a, the Hood River Cornet band will
give a series of concerts on the corners
of the principal streets. The mer-
chants assure visitors that the day will
be live one and that many bargains
will be in store for them.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION

The annual school elections will be
held in various districts of the county
next Monday, June Is. No meetings
of the year will be of more Importance,
and the Glacier urges that all patrons
and legal voters attend in their re-
spective districts, and that action
taken be truly representative.
The local city school election will be
held in the Park street school house,
beginning at 2 o'clock next Monday
afternoon. In addition to election of one
director, clerk, the voters will decide
as to whether or not the action taken
by a school meeting last fall to use the
sum of Sl0,0 now in the treasury, for
gymnasium and manual training bust
ness purposes, be rescinded. On this
account full vote should be secured
that day. If the people vote for such
a use of the money the school board
will carry out their instructions.
While the vote of last fall instructed
that the surplus be used for a gymna-
stun, the board would in all probabil-
ity have faced an injunction suit had
any such action been taken on their
part; for the legality of the election
was questioned by taxpayers. The
sum in the treasury, derived from the
sale of the courthouse site, was set
aside by the school board at the time
of the proceedings as nucleus for
sinking fund to pay off the sum Of
SI2. 600. the bonded indebtedness of the
district. Many of the voters and tax
payers Of the district think the money
should be used for this purpose and
shall vote for resembling the action of
last fall. While no one will hesitate to
commend the work of the manual
training department of the high school,
they argue and with Justification, that
the students of the local school have
been falling off in numbers in the past
few years, The city is fighting against
any increase in taxation, and if the
money in the treasury is used for a
gymnasium, the funds must eventually
be replaced by taxation.
But the vote Monday will settle the
matter, and the Glacier urges full
vote in order that no one can raise the
hue and cry after the election of lack
Of representation.
Judging from the editorial interview,
the Hood River News was much worked
up over an error of the Glacier last
week. Our esteemed contemporary,
in said interview, threw one of the
lengthiest word fits in its history.
AS though it We're of particular sig
niticance as to whether or not the for
mer election, when the gymnasium and
science building vote was taken, was
held in June or November We fear
the News is being led INTO error, when
1t c0ntradicts our statement to the
effect that the meeting was not repre-
sentative. We, at least. do know that
the sentiment of most of the business
men of the streets is opposed to the
expenditure, and we think the represen-
tation at Mondays meeting will show
such sentiment.

Voters Urged to Attend at FranktOn

Editor Glacier: Hhe people of Frank
ton school district Just now are much
agitated over the school election to be
held next Monday evening, June Is. at
Z o'clock. The election Of director to
succeed A. W. lsbell, the senior mem
ber of the board of directors, seems to
be the storm center. John Nickelsen
has been placed in nomination by his
neighbors in the lower part of the dis.
trlct MIR Nickelsen stands for an
economical administration of the affairs
of the district. He favors the employ
ing of a principal competent to teach
in the higher branches and who will
sustain the good name and fame of
Frankton school that it attained under
the care of Professors Stubhs and On.

cutting out of all grades above the

also the principal. The plan then is to
pay tuition at the rate of $50 pIpil

attend high school in the town of Io,}

The Importance of guarding against
forest fires is sown in Wallace, Idaho,
where residents now claim that results
of the disastrous forest fires in north
crn Idaho in 1910 are made evident in
the changed flow from a watershed
then burned over, which furnishes the
water supply of the city. This basin
included an area Of approximately two
thousand acres and was formerly we'll
timbered with trees from SO to 200
years old, These were almost wholly
destroyed by the fires Of 1910. From
this watershed the city gets its supply
of not only for domestic purposes, hut
also for the development of electricity
for power and light; so that the main
tenance of a considerable flow is essen
tial to the city.
