EVERGREENS NOT PER-
MANENTLY INJURED

For the benefit of those who have
been disturbed because of the brown
ing of the Douglas fir and cedar trees
in the vicinity of Portland, the officers
of the local forest service state that
the injury is not thought to be serious.
This peculiar browning of the need
les and the tips of the branches is no.
ticeable on the trees within the city
limits, sbut is particularly marked along
the Columbia highway. The trees are
so brown here that many have ex-
pressed fear that the trees were dy-
ing. The foresters state, however,
that the browning of the needles is due
to the drying effect of the cold east
winds at a time when the tree is not
able to withstand this rigorous wealth
er. 1t is observed that this appearance
is most noticeable on the windward side
of individual trees or isolated groves,
and along the Columbia where the
eastern Oregon winds suck down the
canyon. Some of the trees will un-
doubtedly suffer from this frost nip
ping process, but it is not thought that
any of them will die. In fact, it is
predicted that, within a few months,
the brown needles will have fallen off
and the green ones which replace them
will give the woods their usual normal
green hue.

To Correspondents

1t often happens that the correspond
ents of newspapers, in compiling their
news items, insert their personal views
on neighborhood matters. There can
be no criticism for such an expression
of opinion. However, these views
should not be expressed in the news
items of correspondents. If CORES
pondent desires to make some criticism
of a neighborhood activity or policy, he
or she should communicate with the
editor and if it is desired that the
views be given publicity they should
appear in the form of a letter to the
paper and over the writer's signature.
The country correspondence, as it ap-
pears in the Glacier, should deal with
news facts alone, as much as possible.
In last weeks issue ofsthe Glacier,
in the Frankton items appeared criti-
cism of certain recent events Of the
district. Through an oversight the
paragraph, giving theIviews of the cor
respondent, was allowed to run among
the Frankton items.

BASE BALL

Stockton. the local right handler. held
the Hartman club team Of Portland,
to two hits last Sunday and the team
won 10. Besides doing steady mound
work, Stockton hit out a two bagger to
deep center, that allowed Bud Thomas
to saunter in with the winning run.
The local team gsrnered five hits of
Drlseoll, the railroad teams pitcher,
three of which were good for two sacks.
Chet Pape and Bud Thomas cavorting
around short and second, respectively,
got away with two doubles during the
game and tried for a third, but the ball
arrived at first a little late. The bat.
ting order of the local team was the
same as formerly. The lineup was:
Hsrriman-Driscoll, p; Madden. c;
Schade, ID; Hyland, 2b; Voss. Sb; Rit-
ter. Sc Shlnn, If +; Eddas. cf; HALL, rf
Hood River Stockton, p: Button,

Score: Hits 49, Hyland 2. Thomas,
Stockton, Baker. Meyers, and Cess
ling.
Run-Thomas, struck out by Dris-
coll, 5. by Stockton, 8.
Gus Gessling, veteran short stop and
third baseman. got back into harness
Sunday. Gus got one hit and was on
the bases three times IN four times up
and although he had one error chalked
up against him. will be playing the
old game with little more practice.
Shinn, the Hartman left fielder.
robbed the local team 90 four hits.
Shinn chaseG down fiys that locked i'm
possible 10 get; and especially one Of
Stockton S was pure robbery.
The hartman section of the grand
stand was dangerous place at times.
Fifteen rooters came along with the
team. The railroad supplied passes,
and they sure hated to spoil straight
win record. His Umps," Chas. Hart,
came in for his share of the roasting,
as did Stockton.
The crowds attending the games are
small. The boys are putting up high
grade of baseball and everyone who is
at all enthusiastic can get their mon
ey's worth. The present team looks
better as fielding and hitting ma
chine, than any of the past three years.
The fans must turn out better and bol-
ster up the gate receipts or it will be
impossible to keep the game going
here.
Hugh Garrabrant, of Garrabrant 4
Parker cigar store. who is managing
the team. keeps the batting average
posted at his cigar store and they are
occasioning interest. Several of the
boys are batting over 500 per cent for
the five games played this season.

WHITESALMON SERIES
WILL BEGIN SUNDAY

The series of baseball games to be
played between the local team and the
White Salmon club will begin Sunday.
The first game will be called at 2.30
O'Clock at Columbia park. This series
bids fair to bring on some of the best
games ever played here.
Manager Garrabrant says that the
attendance at recent games has not
been up to the old time standard. The
teams business is being well handled
this year. There has been no concert
ed movement to secure subsidies from
merchants, the usual process in small
town baseball history. The boys,
however. do want enough interest
shown to enable them to pay expenses.

LONDON Sept. 1l.-There Is high au-

contemplates a new financial expedient
to meet the circumstances Of the war.
II provides for something in the nature
OF an emergency currency. differing in
important respects from the Treasury
notes now in circulation and Offering
certain advantages not only TO the Gov

II Is probable that the project was
put forward in connection with the dis

has resulted In the Joint British and

the originators OF the scheme took a leaf
from the book of %expedients with which
American finance is familiar. but In any
event II Is understood IN the plan
has passed the point of mature con-
sideration and is likely to he put in
operation soon.
In its general outline the plan pro-
vtdes for an original issue Of bonds, or
perhaps exchequer notes. running for a
short period OF years. The amount is
not stated. but may easily be fl0O. o0o.-

by the Department Of the Interior with
the Aetna Explosives Company Of New
York, under which the company had
agreed to expend 100000 in the de-

Dr. Walter F. Rittman for the manu-

DIR. Rittman Is the new chemical en-
gineer of the United States Bureau OF
Mines whose discoveries have recently
been widely advertised by the Depart

Its products.
The action was taken by Secretary
Lane on receiving information from

obtained from the production under the
Rittman process had been so satisfac-
tory that his company would start their
plant on a commercially operative basis.
