GILBERT & DEWITT
CO., inc, ORGANIZED

The Gilbert & Dewitt Co., Inc., is a
newly organized company, which will
as a merged concern continue the busi-
ness formerly transacted by Gilbert &
Dewitt and the Columbia Auto & Ma
chine Co. The organization of the new
concern was worked in this manner.
The Columbia Auto & Machine Co. alb
sorbed the Gilbert & Dewitt Co., and
with the capital stock increased the
name was changed to the new corpora
tion.
The newly organized concern will
continue to operate the two places of
business, one at the garage on Colum-
bia street and the other in the old Gill
bert & Dewitt stand on Cascade ave.
nue.. The garage will be used for re-
pair and storage work and the sale of
accessories, while the Cascade avenue
place of business will be devoted to
exclusively to display and sales rooms.
The Gilbert & Dewitt Co. has begun
the season with a flattering business
prospect. Already numerous sales have
been made, and the demand for cars
cannot be supplied. Dodge touring
cars have been delivered the past week
to Bennett Bros. and to Warren Miller.

New Wing Dam Wanted

Following action on the part of the
State Game and Fish Commission two
years ago in declaring Hood river a
spawning stream and closed to net fish
ing, funds were appropriated for the
construction of a wing diversion dam
at the mouth of Hood river to send the
current of the stream at its juncture
with the Columbia in down stream
course. The state appropriation was
supplemented by work donated by local
sportsmen and an appropriation on the
part of the city, the municipality being
interested in having the stream chang
ed in order that the outlet of the sewer
system might be kept swept clean.
The wing dam was swept away by
flood waters in Hood river last spring,
and local men fear that the structure
will not be replaced, in case the legis-
lature has pruned too severely appro-
priations for the State Game and Fish
Commission. Contractors who have
viewed the proposed work state that a
permanent dam can be built for rea-
sonable cost, and committee, COM
posed of Earl Franz, A. l.. Day and
Cecil Holman are endeavoring to Sc
cure contributions of labor on the pro-
posed work.

Because of recent criticism of the
existing widows pension laws, some of
our citizens, we understand. have
reached the conclusion that the Glacier
is unqualifiedly opposed to any charit-
able expenditure on behalf of needy
orphans and widows. This is far from
true. But we do believe that the ex-
isting law need to be surrounded by
sufficient restrictions to prevent its
abuse, to prevent an intended charita-
BILE aid from becoming curse. And
at this point allow us to make correc-
tion of recent obvious error in the
Glacier. 1t was stated that the annual
widows pension fund reached the sum
of $l57. The monthly appropriation
reaches that figure.

0.-W. Makes New improvements

Having completed their task of thor
oughly vanishing and renovating the
interior of the local passenger station
crews of painters are now busy at
work on the exterior of the building.
For the past several days the men have
been busy applying new cement to the
plaster on the ceiling of outside sheds
at the station. Because of the seeming
regularity of the cracks in the ceiling,
caused by snow storms, passengers
awaiting trains have thought the white
patchwork some kind of new decora-
tion. Agent Fredricy has had his little
joke with numerous friend, telling them
that the different sections would be
painted a different color later to simu-
late Navajo blanket.

A Letter to Fruit Growers Hood River Co.

wish to extend to you, through this
paper, my most sincere thanks for your
endorsement through my petition to
the county court of Hood River county.
for the appointment to Office of county
fruit inspector.
We not only put in double the num-
ber of petitioners, but many times
double the tonnage of fruit produced
this season.
/ cannot help coming to the conclu-
sion that it is the same consideration
given the petitioners in the past ad-
ministration, "The Court" and not the
sentiment of the people that RULE.
However, we have a new inspector in
the field and let us all as loyal fruit
growers put our every effort in cooper
alton with him, and by so doing, giving
him all the backing in the enforcement
of the laws, we can expect the results
we should have.
| congratulate our new inspector
upon his appointment to such respon-
sible position and hope we will not be
deceived in the courts judgment and
that we may receive the services that
the taxpayers in return expect.
! would have liked to serve the peo-
pie of Hood River county in this work,
and have been able to be at home with
friends and relatives, but / have ac-
cepted the same position in our adjoin-
ing county and having the unanimous
support of all the growers in my dis
trict, | expect great success in my
work.
For the benefit of those who made
complaints to me in my circulation of
my petition would take the matter
up with the present inspector and if
you cannot get results, take the matter
up with DR.. C. A. Macrum, district
state horticultnrist and / will vouch
for Your immediate consideration.
Wishing you all very prosperous
season, | beg to remain,
Yours for success,
Paid adv. E. R. Lafferty.
