For several years Pearl has de.

just over the Claiborne line. Re.
pested efforts were made by the
officers of Claiborne to have the
place, which was the cause of many
disgraceful scenes between Port
Gibson and Big Black. broken mp,
but the Warren officials were ab-
solutely indifferent about the mat
ter. When the episode In which a
young soldier who bad visited the
place was engaged occurred, a
meeting of the business men of Port
Gibson was proposed. at which
meeting District Attorney Thames
and several of Vicksburg's whole

here were to be invited, and the
local merchants were going to be
asked to refused to do business

the welfare of this community.
This proposed meeting was defer

KNOCKED
FROM BRIDGE
Guard at Bayo1 Pierre Struck By
Train and Thrown More
Than 40 Feet.

Last Sunday afternoon while ol
duty guarding Bayou Pierre rail
road bridge, Private Mike D. Nc
Kiunon was struck by the nortl
bound passenger train and thrown
TO the water below, distance o
more than forty feet. He fell il
water waist deep, and being tor
weak to stand unaided, was jus
able to keep himself from drown
ing by holding to a snsg until res
cued.
Leonard Bobo, who was keeping
the ferry, saw the accident and
jumped into bis skiff and rescued
the unfortunate young man, whose
strength was rapidly failing.
The train was stopped and the
injured man was taken to Vicks-
burg where be is being treated at
a sanitarium. AT first it was
thought that McKinnon was fatally
iujuGed, but we are exceedingly
glad to state that be is rapidly re-
covering. How be escaped instant
death is almost a miracle. The
great distance of the fall alone was
enough to produce death.
Neither the injured man nor the
train crew know how the accident
occurred. Some think that he must
have been sitting near the track
reading a letter, as a letter was
seen floating on the water where
be fell, and was probably so alb
sorbed that be did not notice the
approaching train. The train was
running rapidly, and it seems that
the engiueer did not see the man
until the train was upon him.
Lieut.. Cowart has repeatedly
appealed to the railroad authorities
10 have the trains slow down at
the bridge and sound the whistle,
and while he was assured that his
request would be granted, the
promise was never carried into ef-
feet. Only few nights before,
TWO of the other soldiers came neai
beng killed on the bridge because
of the great rate OF speed of a
tram.
Lieut.. Cowart declares that be
will no longer risk the lives of bis
men on the bridge, and they are
now doing guard duty on the
ground under each approach.
McKinnen is the youngest SOL
der 10 the squad, being only eigh-
teen years of age. His home is in
McComb City where be was en-
ploYed by the l. c. railroad at
McComb before being called with
his company to the Mexican bor-
der. He bears an excellent repu-
tation among his associates. The
accident was a great shock to the
people OF this community, many
whom knew aud bad learned to
the young man.

SPENCE'S WORDS
ARE RESENTED
GRANGE SHOWS FORCE. FOR BONDS
Local Members Of Organization Of Hus.
bandry Say State Master Gives
Wrong Impression

Members of the five oranges of Hood
River county express resentment at
the declarations of State Master c. +.
Spence, whose recent utterances indi.
cate that the Oregon State grange as
whole is opposed to the Sc, 900, 600
road bonding act. The Hood River
County Good Roads Association recent
ly organized now has membership of
approximately $50 business men Of the
city and orchardists of all districts. 1t
is declared that 80 per cent of the
members of the Good Roads Associa-
tion, which was organized primarily
for the aid of the bonding act, are also
members of the different county
oranges.
AL j. Graft. member of the execu-
tive committee of the Good Roads As
sociation and prominent in the Pine
Grove grange, with the largest men,
bership of any grange in the county
and one of the oldest in the state, ex-
pesses repudiationlof the inferences
of State Master Spence.
| ''In my canvass of the members of
the grange for our district" says Mr..
Graft, II can safely say that large
majority of the members of the body
are in favor of the ZOO, 600 road
bonding act. So far | have met but
two members who are uuqualifiedly op-
posed to the measure. They can give
no specific arguments against the bonds
but advanced general reasons. In so
| far as Hood River county is concerned.
State Master Spencer is not justified in
making the broad statement that the
Oregon State Grange is opposed to the
bonds.
E. w. Birge, member of the board
of directors of the Apple Growers As
sociation and member of Park Grange,
says:
''The grange as whole is strongly
in favor of the bonds What opposition
] have encountered thus far does not
represent two per cent. The fact that
members of the various Hood River
oranges constitute such large proper.
ton of the Good Roads Association
shows which way the sentiment is.
j. E. Ferguson, prominent member
of the Odell grange, is a member of
the executive committee of the Good
Roads Association. He says:
"In my canvass of the Odell district
have found but few members of the
grange opposing the bonds. | believe
the Hood River people will be more
united on this measure than on any
thing they have ever voted upon.
c. P. Johannsen, of the Upper Val
ley grange and past master of the
County Pomona Grange, who is first
vice president of the Good Roads Asso-
citation, says:
"The only opposition have found is
from those who have not studied the
bonding act. When it was explained to
them they became supporters of the

personal canvass Of the Upper Valley.
August Guignard, prominent granger
and manager of the Farmers Irrigating
Co., declares: 81 am out among the
farmers all the time and have made it
point to boost the bond issue at all
times. | have scarcely found anyone
opposed to it. y

PATRIOTIC WINDOWS
EXCEL IN BEAUTY

With an impelling unanimity, the
people of Hood River participated in
Oregon Patriotic Week. No local,
state or national movement has ever so
aroused the feelings of business men
and orchardists. Window displays,
prepared by merchants who partici-
pated unanimously in the contest in
augurated by 18th Co., have never
been so artistic, unique or gorgeous,
and the exhibits of the shopkeepers
have even eclipsed those made at an
nual celebrations of Blossom week.
Not window display breathed Of
pacificism. The judges, S. A. Mitch
ell, Truman Butler and E. o. Blanch-
ar, at the patriotic rally at Hebron
ner hall Friday evening, announced
the winners of prizes in the window
contest as follows: Consolidated Mer-
camille Co. and E. A. Franz Co., divid-
ed on first Perigo & Son and Bragg
Mercantile Co., divided on second, and
w. d. Rogers, Heights merchant, a
special prize.
All events of the week have centered
around a campaign to encourage re-
cruiting of the artillery company to
full war strength before the week was
over. Arthur Kolstad assisted in the
recruiting campaign by displaying
''The Fall of the Nation" at the Elec-
trio theatre. Twelfth Company men
in uniform were stationed beside the
old Civil War cannon in front of the
moving picture. With a squad of
the artillery men and bugler seated
on the old flag draped relic, the cannon
was hauled through the principal resi-
dence streets Thursday afternoon. On
the sides of the old ordnance piece
were great placards bearing the in
scription, "i2th Co. Needs Men, do
Your Duty"
The task of making the awards must
have been difficult. The Glacier wishes
that it had more space for making spe-
cial mention of all the unique and
clever ideas, but the difficult task il
newspapers today is not to get news
but to make mention Of happenings as
concise as possible, in order that all
important news may receive mention.
Therefore each decoration of the local
merchants will be described in short
