The toothsome shad was always the

OF shad nets were fastened TO poles

AN ATMOSPHERE OF FLOWERS

Last week the Glacier commented on
the musical atmosphere that may be
found in Hood River and for which. the
valley has become so well known to
the outside world.
Hood River may become known "a
the world for its atmosphere Of flowers.
Roses grow as we'll as or better than in
Portland. known the world over as the
Rose City. Nssturtiums grow so lux
uriantly as to form veritsble hedges.
Dshlias produce perfect flowers. Gald.
ioli bulbs brought directly from Hol-
land, and other bulbs from that land OF
bulb growers, are planted here and
grow as we'll as in their home country.
Sweet peas climb high, putting out
strong, tough stems that are soon load
ed with myriads of giant flowers. Peo-
MES thrive more healthily than rose
plants, for sphis and mildew affect
them not at all.
Let US get behind the recently organ
lied Floral society. aid it in its pur-
poses and cause realization of the
plans of promoting flower culture at
every city and valley home. We do not
doubt that Hood River has more we'll
kept country and city homes than most
communities Of its size. But every
home may be made bower of beauty.
The flowers may be planted and cared
for at minimum of expense. Every
road may be wonder, its sides bor-
dered with shrubs, perennials and an.
nual plants.
And let US not forget the wild flora
of the Mount Hood district. Behold
the Mount Hood lily. Have you ever
seen scope of open woodland covered
with these beautiful flowers? They
grow luxuriantly. One will never for
get the rich, sweet perfume that they
exhale, and hundreds of humming birds
may be seen sucking the honey laden
blooms.
The Mount Hood lily is not hard to
grow. Every home should have some
of these planted on a not too sunny
spot around the home.
We believe that our local florists,
Fletcher q Fletcher, of the 0akdale
greenhouses, and Geo. Haslinger, of
the Heights greenhouse, and no small
community ever had better such bust
ness concerns. could soon win note by
introducing these handsome flowers to
other parts of the country.

GLACIER TAKES PART

Where an Enterprise subscriber is
already on the Glacier list and is paid
in advance for the former publication,
his subscription on the Glacier is ad-
vanced proportionately. The Enter
prise price of years subscription
was so cents, while the price of sub
scription to the Glacier is $3.50 per

THE WHANGDOODLE CRITIC

The Spectator. the Portland weekly
publication, weighted often with pom.
derous editorials. is not the typical OBJ
server. 1t looks at the big things and
the little things in no hasty manner-it
scrutinizes. But the light Of its lumin-
Gus eyes for the most part is turned on
the 0regonian and the Journal. II en-
joys punch at these publications. Its
sarcasm grows scorching, and its irony,
left untreated, rusts.
Boring through the 0regonian one
morning The Spectator alghted with
much aplcmb on the following dispatch
from Hood River:
Hood River, Ore. June Is, (SpeciaD
The Mount Hood Lily is now at its
best. Many fields of this beautiful
flower. some of them almost an acre in
extent, -"
The weekly tore into the dispatch az

Fearing that eastern friends may
not give credence to the Oregonian's
statement that some of the beautiful
Mount Hood lilies are almost an acre

that not only do these flowers grow to
great size. but that ii not infrequently
happens that great many of them

But, oh, Mr.. Hume, why don't you
let these Portland papers alone? They'll
get sore some day. and you'll get

pin pricks. But why not go after some

guage and punctuation points that is,

that ii has become custom, and thus

THE MASTER MINDS or THE BROKEN CONT

Through an arrangement with the
Electric Theatre the Glacier will run,
serially, beginning with next week,
''The Broken Coin, one of the power :
fuI stories of Emerson Hough. The
serials will begin next week with the
installment of the story to be illustrat-
ed by episode No. 2 of the film pie
lures, which will be shown at the Elec-
tric Sunday and Monday, July and 5.
The first instalment of "The Broken
Coin" will appear at the Eleetrie next
Sunday and Monday, A synopsis of
the first episode is as follows:
Kitty Gray, crack reporter on the
Evening Star, while en- route from her
newspaper office to a big department
store, where she was in the habit of
lunching, notices an old tarnished coin
in the window of an antique shop. The
coin has been broken, and an inscrip-
tion across its face is thus half gone.
The girl enters the shop and after
dlckering with the proprietor, purchas-
es the coin, the inscription on which
seems to be direction to some king s
treasure collection. Among other words
on the coin is that of Gretzhoifen, a
little kingdom in the south of Europe
on the Mediterranean.
just as she left the store she bumped
into foreign looking man entering.
He inquired of the old keeper of the
antique shop about a coin, the descrip-
tlon of which tailed with that just sold
to the girl. The shopkeepr told of the
sale.
The next day the girl approached
Cutler, the city editor of the Star,
showing the broken coin, along with an
ivory fan she had purchased with the
antique. She tells of the possibilities
of story, and the managing editor of
the publication gives her a check for
So, 600 and she is sent to Gretzhoffen
to dig up the mysteries that the broken
coin may point out When she returned
to her apartment she found that it had
been broken into and that a search had
been made of her closets and trunks.
On board the vessel taken for the
trip abroad she recognized a man who
bumped into her as the dark visaged
foreigner whom she had bumped on the
day she left the antique shop. That
night as she slept she had a sensation
that some one had entered her state
room and was looking at her. Silently
she took the broken coin from cham
ois bag around her neck and slipped
it into her stocking. But moment
later hand tugged at her neck, and
the string holding the bag was broken.
Thereafter one of the boats detectives
guarded Kitty Gray's stateroom. Jeth-
ro Thompson, of Ohio, American consul

MORE SIGN BOARDS NEEDED

While the motoring visitor to tn.
Lower Valley may find his way around
fairly well by the sign boards that have
been erected by the county court. there
is dearth of signs in the more remote
points of the Lower Valley and in the
Upper Valley. Sunday before last,
when Billy Sunday preached at Park
dale, several automobiles we're driven
over from The Dalles for the occasion.
The drivers were not familiar with the
country, and instead of taking the Neal
creek road, took the grade leading up
to Fir. All this worry and trouble of
the visitors might have been eliminated
if few s'gnboards had been in proper
place.

CREAMERY SENDS ICE
CREAM TO PORTLAND

The management Of the Hood River
Creamery had avery gratifying order
Monday, but few days after the ice
cream department had been inaugurated
Portland people sent for shipment of
the delicious refreshment.
The ice cream made by Superintend-
ent Bluhm, of the creamery, has made
a ten strike. Sunday member of the
board of directors had out of town
guests. Some of the ice cream, straw
berry flavor, was served. at is cer-
tainly fine to be able to get home e-made

the visitors, who was astonished when
told that the cream was made by the
local creamery.

I to Gretzhoffen, was an old acquaint
ance OF Kitty Gray's father. He tells
/ the young newspaper woman of the his.
ory of the little kingdom, of the mys.
terious death of King Michael |, anc
/ the disappearance of his treasure.
While Kitty Gray was thus engaged
in conversation with the old consul an.
other scene was taking place in another
part of the capital of Gretzhoffen.
ROleau, who had been sent to America
in search of the broken coin, goes 10
the palace of Fredrick, the power be-
hind the throne of Michael IL, the then
king of the country, and turns. over to
the prince the chamois bag taken from
he neck of Miss Gray, announcing that
he has filled his mission.
The discovery of an American half
dollar instead of the broken coin en-
RACES Fredrlck, who threatens the
death of his henchman.
Kitty Gray sees the man Roleau, in
jured by the blow struck by Fredrick,
as she drives from the consulate to her
hotel. She stops and picks him up in
her vehicle. Kitty feels that she has
seen the man before, but does not
recognize the man of the boat. Roleau
is turned over to the head porter of the
hotel
The next morning the man who had
presumably spent the night at the hotel
appeared as Kitty was starting for
round Of the city and asked to be al
lowed to act as her guide. She took
him in the car.
AS they pass the palace Count Fred
rick himself, in large motor car. is
driven from the grounds, and Kitty
recognizes in him an international spy,
who had been in America at a time
when Gretzhotf had attempted to raise
huge loan.
