 Dickens in one of his novels gives an account of the proceedings of some philanthropic society whose ob- ject was to provide the native of the Sahara with hot mullins and vol len undershirts. What pity Charlie Rogers has never learned this va1u- able lesson of tempering generosity with Judgement! Out of the. depths of his kindly heart and the cellar he dug 1p two cOlicky ex-cornets, which he p@esented to couple of school-boys, his one idea being to please the boys. He pleased them, all right. | They were delighted. Pop-eyed and purple-faced they blatted away, stop ping to take breath only to yield the instruments of torture moment only to some pal in the envious and germ dispising crowd around them, begging to try it ''just once" Several fran tic citizens, harassed by visions of yawning cells at Morningside, are lay ing for Charlie-poor, kindly, we'll meaning, misguided Charlie.
 Rev. A. G. Shriver is in receipt of a letter from our former townsman, Matt ROckendorf who is undergoing treat nent at Mayo Bros institute, Roches- ter. N. Y, containing much news of in- terest to Cordovans. Among other things he says that he expects to be able to dispense with one of his crutches shortly, and before long he hopes to be able to navigate without the assistance of either. Charlie Kits man is still at the institute. His recent attack of influenza left his hearing in 8 most deplorable state, and it will be weeks, and possibly months, before he will be able to return North. He suf- fered a great deal from ulcers, and while he is improving now, and will eventually gain his hearings, it will be a slow process. Dr. Daggett was talk ing a course at the clinic. George Stevens is back there. He did not re- turn to Alaska, but spent the winter in Seattle. He talks of going to St. Louis after leaving Rochester, which will be in about ten days.
 Cap" Lathrop's faithful right in yoi4 Q h a state of agitation during the second show last Sunday, causing solicitous glances up at one of the boxes, and fidgeting like a flapper debutante. TTAese who noticed him, remembering Louie's weakness and recalling Rolaeo and Capulet's garden, craned their necks to make out the cause of his disturbances, expecting to see some fair dame enthroned on high, the exposure of Louie's eagle orbs. But no! his looks expressed not de- votiOn, but apprehension; not adOra- tion. but fear-fear that the balcony was about to collapse. There were four weighty reasons for this fear c. H. Scheffler, W. H, Lindig, A. J. Mcconnell and Babe" Hayes, a re- gently reformed Valdezan, all tight ly packed into the center-left loge, and making an imposing row such as Mount Doll, Mount Russell, Mount Foraker and Mount Mckinley make among the lesser peaks of our great territory. The gentlemen seemed un- comfortably crowded, until MT Nc Copnell hit upon the simple expedient of dangling one foot over the parti- tion into the next box. Whereupon the others gave sighs of relief, hitch ed oyer their chairs a few inches and proceeded to enjoy the play in com fort.
 And the balcony is still intact.

An Open Letter to Members of the Apple
Growers Association

deem il a fair thing to lay before
the membership Of the Apple Growers
Association the facts in their oppor-
tumty to take over the rights of the
Staney-Smith Lumber Company In
Hood River county.
/. Year by year the lumber supply is
becoming less. Michigan, Wisconsin
and the South have cut their pile
There remains the timber Of the Gas
cades and Coast mountains 50. 75 per
N is now added to the price of lumber
shipped from the Coast mountains to
Hood River. Timber tracts north,
south, east and west Of US have been
taken over. 1t will be freight added
