of the ranchers and no doubt will con-
tinue so until after the apple harvest.
Under the pressure of such conditions,
ones first thoughts and impulses sug-
gest that all boys and girls able to dc
any amount of physical work should
remain out of school and help, that the
immediate welfare of Hood River de-
pends upon the successful handling of
the harvest and as much as possible by
our own people
There are some other considerations
worthy of notice. AS early as May |,
soon after the first call for volunteers
for the army, the U. S. Department of
Education, acting with the War De-
partment, issued circular letter to
school principals and superintendent,
urging that students in high schools
and colleges remain in school. Similar
letters have been received from the
government during the summer. About
month ago the governor and state
superintendent of Oregon issued smi-
liar call to the people of our state.
The reasons given are that the pres.
ent warfare is contest of mental
strength and ingenuity; if the war is
of short duration, students now Under
maturity will not be needed if the wal
continues long, as the leaders believe
it will, the educated and trained per.
sons will be, needed at the front to helE
to make the world safe for democracy,
and they will be needed at home on the
farms and in the industries, for many
directors of industries, their assistants
and successors have already volun'
teered. AS soon as the war closes we
must be able in as large measure a:
possible to meet the demands of the
world for trained workers, both in the
countries depleted by the war and al
home, for the years following the wal
will bring to US the greatest CONNER
cial prosperity ever known.
From standpoint of patriotism
clearly every student should remain il
school. Our young men and womer
should not be handicapped, but pre-
pared to perform their largest measure
of duty in whatever way it may be.

RUTHTON GOES
UP in SMOKE
MANY WITNESS SPECTACULAR BLAZE
Damage Of Fire Early Friday Night Will
Reach $4,000, With Insur-
ance of $4,000

For the third time in its history the
S0.year old town of Ruthton, home of
big planning mill of the Stanley.
Smith Lumber Co., burned early Fri
day evening.
The fire is thought by families re-
siding at the lumber station to have
been started by passing train. 1t
was discovered about six o'clock, a
small blaze on loading platform.
Several weeks ago large fiume used
in transporting lumber from mills in
the southwestern part of the county
was partially destroyed by a forest
| fire, thus eliminating water supply
that had it been available could have
been used in exti1guishing the small
blaze. A strong west wind soon car
ried the flames to the main plant and
thence to surrounding fir trees. office
structures and homes. The wind car.
ried large dead brands the three and a
half mile distance to the streets of
Hood River. A culvert on the line OF
the 0.-W. r. & N. Co. was slightly
fired, and trains were held a short
time. The plant and loading station
was located for distance of several
hunderd feet along the railroad anC
ties were ignited. A long stretch OF
the long distance trunk lines of the
Pacific Telephone Co. were melted
down and put out of commission.
Most of the surrounding mill town
residences were vacated, the plant
having been idle since last year wher
the lumber company went into the
hands of receiver. The few families
residing at Ruthton were given time
to remove their furniture which was
hauled in automobiles and trucks to 9
place of safety at the top of Ruthtor
| hill. Members of the local volunteer
fire department responded to the alarm
and hurried to the fire, but with nc
water supply available little could be
done. Shacks were dynamited in ar
effort to stop the progress of the fire,
witnessed by hundreds of people who
journeyed to the top of Ruthton hill il
automobiles. Live brands carried by
the wind set numerous fires in wooC
land patches along the Columbia gorge
An old root house belonging to T. D.
Calkins was burned.
On one occasion when the lumber
station burned. 2, 100000 feet of lum
ber was destroyed. The lumber loss
at Friday nights fire was light, most
all stocks having been shipped.
Geo. E. Johnson, of Portland, re-
ceiver for the lumber company, states
that SIS, 900 of insurance was carried
The cost of constructing the plant
alone several years ago was approxi
mately $50, 900. The mill was driver
by a costly electrical system.

PUBLIC ASKED TO
Aid BETTER SHOWS
Hood River, Ore, Aug.

Hood River, Ore, Aug. 90, 1917.
Editor Glacier: In justice to Mr.,
Kolstad, of the Electric theatre, who
has cooperated with US to the extent Of
his ability, we wish to apprise the
public of the movement we have set in
motion to secure better moving pic
lures for the children of the town. At
various times a committee, composed
of representatives of the Commercial
club, Woman's club and Parent-Teach-
er Association have tried to solve the
problem. At the risk of a loss of
money Mr.. Kolstad offered to aid US,
and a series of IL films, children's pic
lures, were secured to be shown each
Tuesday. The first picture was dis
appointment. but the second was excel
lent, and we are hoping that the others
will prove as good.
We are determined to secure day
for children, when mothers will be free
to send their children to the picture
shows, knowing that they will see only
the best. If the pictures continue sat
isfactory and parents approve of the
idea, Mr.. Kolstad intends to make fur
ther improvements.
We beg that you do not be too criti-
cal if one picture of series does not
happen to be up to the standard.
Mrs. A. G. Lewis,
President Hood River Woman's Club.

Schooner Submarine Victim
Last of Big Four-Masters
to Bring Ice to Washington

The schooner Lyman NJ Law. which
was sunk by a submarine in European
waters, was one Of the last Of the big
four-masted schooners to bring ice to
this city from the Maine ice fields. At
that time she was under the command
of Capt c. W. chatfield Of Voluntown,
Conn. and lay at the wharf foot OF 9th
street for more than a week. waiting
to be unloaded.
After discharging her cargo she was
taken around to Georgetown and load
ed coal for a New England port The
vessel was then owned by the Benedict
Manson Marine Company of New
Haven. but since the outbreak of the
war in Europe has been sold to a Mo-
bile firm and has been running between
gulf ports and Europe. She was a YES
sci of 1900 gross tons register and was
211 feet long. She was built at West
