The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1917-01-04

With a heavy snowstorm prevailing
New Years morning, 1t was the fear
of local folk that the weather man
might repeat for Hood River the dose
of last year, when the snow piled up
four feet deep. The snow. however.
changed to rain before the day was
over, and on Tuesday the air had be-
come almost as Salmy as that Of a
March day.
1t is said by some of the older Hood
River residents that IL on New Years
day the wind blows continuously from
one direction, the prevailing wind for
the next 40 days will come from that
direction. The change of the wind from
bitter east one to chinook from the
Pacific relieved the fears of these older
residents.

MISS GENEVEIVE BUT.
TERFIElD TO Wed

The item below 10 clipped from SUM-
days 0reRonian. Miss Butteyfield Is
popular IN Hood River. where she is
well known. having spent the past sew.
eral summers here with her mother at
the handsome family country home in
the Belmont district.
Society folk throneed the Butterfield
residence, in kearney street. on Thurs.
day afternoon 10 learn of the engage.
ment of the daughter Of the household.
Miss Genevieve Butte rfield, to Edward
Everett Wilson, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. s. Wilson, of Linnton. The news
came az q surprise to many of the
friends of the young couple, both Of
whom are popular ia Portland society. i.
The bride to be is the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Seely Butterfield
and 10 a very charming and lovable
girl. The romance of the young folk
dates back to their school days, when
both we're students at the Portland
Academy. Miss Butterfeld was grad
uated with the class Of 1910 :and the
following year Mr.. Wilson was gradu.
ated. Later she attended Dana Hall
and MIR. Wilson went to the University
Of Wisconsin.
He is now associated With his father,
Charles W. Wilson, in the we'll known
lumber firm of Clark.Wilson, at Linn.
ton, where Mr.. Wilson and his bride
will make their home. As yet there
are no definite plans for the. wedding,
but il is probable il will be solemnized
before spring. The young folk. how.
ever, owing to their general popularity,
will be extensively entertained with
pre-nuptial affairs.
The reception Thursday. which was
one of the smartest and largest func.
tions of the month, was attended by
hundreds Of Portland's Oldest and most
prominent families. their handsome
gowns and wraps blending haromnious-
ly with the simple floral decorations of
the rooms. The bride elect was show
cred with lovely flowers by the few
friends who we're aware Of the happy
news.
Two little maids, Mayanns Sargent
and Dorothy May Corbett. greeted the
guests upon their arrival, presenting
each with the announcement cards, at.
tached to dainty spring blossoms. Miss
Butterield was charming in q quaint
gown of the lS60:period. built OF gera.
mum pink taffeta and tulle, and she
carried an old fashioned bouquet OF
pastel-tinted spring towers. with a
shower of the tiny blossoms.
The same dainty and artistic floral
scheme was developed in the dining
room, with broad low basket filled
with fragrant blossoms, suspended over
the tea table with fluffy bows and
streamers of pink tulie.~

GRACE EDGINGTON
RECOGNIZED POET

A poem by Miss Grace Edgington. a
graduate IN journalism Of last summer,
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. J. Edgington
Of this city. has been selected for the
Anthology of American College Verse,
volume annually published to pre-
serve the best poems written by college
students during the preceding year.
Miss Edgingten 10 now proofreadet
and copyreader on the Eugene Morning
Register. Her poem Is entitled pic
lures" and has as its motif the beauti-
ful millrace that passes the state hni.
versity campus. II Is as follows:
am the leaves of the trees that lean
Over the still mill race.
Swinging and lifting, devising shifting
Patterns IN shadow lace:
Swish Of water and slim canoe,
Silver of voices threading through
Oh these are the sounds that steal
through the green
When. you are the leaves OF the trees
that lean.
am the lark that mounts with the
dawn,
Over the race and the meadows;
| sing to the sun and the current a-run.
And the dew In the dwindling shad-
0ws;
Calls and laughter and fash of canoe,
Flicker of crimson shutting through,
Joyous, illusive, gaining. gone,-
When you are lark on the race at
dawn.
| am the stars of the velvet gloom,
That burn by the glinmering way:
Cresting the rise of the trees eve.wise,
Till the long night melts in gray;
Vapor of laughter and ghost OF song,
Silence and murmurs and silences
long,
They float. they fly light-winged as
spume,
When you are the stars of the velvet
gloom.

WHITE SALMON.
IRON the Enterprise)

On account of the poor electric power
service the Enterprise is forced to issue
one day late this week. For the past
two weeks the service of the local light
plant has been so weak every afternoon
between 4 and 6 o'clock that our elec.
tric motors have been unable to oper.
ate our modern linotype typesetting
machine. and even our presses to ad.
vantage. Even the electric lights have
bee so dim that it has been useless to
try to set type by hand after daylight
vanished. We hope the company will,
among its New Years resolutions, re.
solve to improve its service and give
its patrons something besides promises
and excuses Of low water at it's plant.
