San Francisco New Years Lively

Mrs. Geo. II. Lynn, who with Mrs
II. M. Hicks is visiting in southern
California, spent New Years eve ir
San Francisco. Writing of the event
she says:
at was one of the llveliest perfor-
mances | ever participated in. BY
nine o'clock you could only go one way
on Market street, and that was the
way the crowd was going. Some
crowd, believe me, and all good ma
tured. Never had more fun in Is min
utes in all my life than | did at Fifth
and Market streets at 9 30 In fact
we had lots of fun watching the crowds
and lodging confetti. | have seen car
nivals and street fairs. but | have
never seen such an immense crowd.
all having clean, jolly sport. | saw
absolutely no rowdyism. Saw one fel-
low who bad gotten next to too much
moonshine. A bluecoat gave him some
good advice and he left Market street,
probably for home. One other younger
fellow had found something, too, and
he tried TO argue with one of the
mounted policeman. Finally they
started to the station with him still
arguing. That was the only evidence
of booze on the streets. The police,
of which there was an amazing num-
ber, were good natured and stood for
all sorts of confetti and other fun but
withal kept good order. II was won
derful for me. At II O'Clock We re-
turned TO the hotel and danced the old
year out and the new year in at a pri-
vate dance given for the guests and
their friends.

SHERIDAN PREDICTS
MARKET REVIVAL

John Sheridan, Portland commission
man. who operates here, while in town
Tuesday voiced the opinion that the
apple market was due an early revival
in the metropolis.
"Spitzenbergs and Ortleys. which
have not kept so very well this season,
are fast cleaning up, - says Mr.. Sheri-
dan. ''The willamette Valley product,
which, because Of excessive rains OF
the fall were softer than usual, are
about gone. The poor quality of apples
that have kept the Portland market
demoralized are about all gone. look
for the market to show keener de-
mand for good stuff. "
Commenting on the frauds that have
been perpetrated on Portland buyers
the past season, Mr.. Sheridan says that
much of the sale of poorer grade stuff
has resulted from the activities of
what he terms a new crop of motor
truck peddlers. He says that this class
of apple seller has visited Hood River,
carrying off their purchases of Gull
apples in their trucks. When they
reach the Portland market, Mr.. Sheri-
dan says, the peddlers pose as actual
apple farmers and offer their Gull ap-
Piles as producers. The bad weather,
rendering Ethe highway precarious, he
says, has shut off these new peddlers.

POSTAL BUSINESS
OF RECORD VOLUME

While he has not completed an in
ventory of the December business,
Postmaster Reavis states that the post
office has done a record holiday busi-
ness this year. The office has had a
record sale of stamps and has received
a record lot of mail for distribution, he
says. The same has been true from
all valley postoffices. Mrs. l.. A. T..
Clark, postmistress at Odell, reports
that her cancellations were 30 per cent
in excess of December, 1919.
Never have so many apples been for
warded from the valley by parcel post
as on this season. On several occa-
sions shipment of gift boxes of apples
from the Dee postoffice has exhausted
the stamp supply there. 1t is esti.
mated that about seven carloads of
apples have been routed from here by
parcel post since harvest.

A RESOLUTION FOR NEWSPAPERS

BENJAMIN Franklin, father of Amer
lean printing and publishing, was great
in that he searched himself for faults
and bad habits at intervals and then
set about a reformation. de
taught byEgood works. The sincerest
preacher, and the one who gains the
greatest respect and following, is he
who practices and then breaches.
With the example Of Franklin before
us, we newspaper men of Oregon may
well set about remedying some of the
bad habits that now possess US. If
every reporter, editor, copy reader,
proof reader and representative of
mechanical department will begin with
himself in determination to eliminate
errors, Oregon newspapers will gain
new respect for the definite knowledge
that they contain. In the big things
newspaper men are careful. The little
mistakes and "ball.ups" that so often
characterize the printed page are
mostly of minor importance to the
general public. Yet every mistake
touches some individual. Every item,
however minor it may appear to the
man who writes it, has an Importance
to some reader. Take yourself for
instance, when you see your name in
print, and the name is misspelled, you
do not like it.
A spirit of haste and carelessness in
all publications is noticeable today. 1t
is shown in the big metropolitan daily
and the rural weekly alike. Even the
national periodicals are not free from
it. The war, naturally and correctly
so, gets the blame. The call for sol
dlers took from their desks hundreds
and thousands of trained men. Those
who were left had too much work to
do. At least, they tried to do too
many things. The result of overs ghts
slipped in. A new bad habit was
formed, and it has grown until the
newspaper with numerous typograph-
ical errors, mistakes in names and
other blunders has become the rule
rather than the exception. We no
longer note the oldtime care in diction
and a careful choice of words.
But the war is over and the nation is
settling back to normal. Let the
of the country become nor
NAL again in an effort to appear as
nearly correct as possible. Let US
call attention to mistakes and welcome
the criticism of others. The public,
which has grown callous, will be able
in the end to do more than any other
factor. Let readers point out mistakes
and urge a return to old ideals of
newspaper men.
The Glacier knows that its columns
are going to carry erorrs at times. 1t
5 impossible to keep them out. When 1
you see mistake tell US about it. 1t
will help to prevent others.

FUND FOR MARKET
ROADS is INCREASED

County Clerk Shoemaker has just re-
ceived a letter from the State Tax
Commission, announcing that Hood
River County's Market Road fund will
be increased from $l3, 900 to $l4, ,279. 36,
as result of an apportionment made on
the states increased valuation as set
on December 6. 1920. The original
apportionment had been made on the
valuation of December 10, 1919. The
states assessed valuation now exceeds
billion dollars. While Multnomah
county raises the mill levy for Market
Roads. its fund is. prorated to other
counties of the state. Hood River
county's portion of the Multnomah fund
will reach So, 995.88.
Hood River county's budget provides
for SIG, 900 for market roads, and the
increased sum and any other that may
be available will be matched in local
road work.

Year BEGINS Wet

The New Year has begun decidedly
wet for Hood River county. After a
few hours interruption. rain began
falling in torrents Saturday night
when the precipitation reached "a of
an inch. For the "a hours ending Mon
day morning the precipitation was .29
of an inch The VALLEYS unsurfaced
roads, as result of the soaking rains
have reached bad state.
The rain of Sunday night was &C
companied by one of the severest wind
storms ever experienced here. The
west range of mountains, however,
seemed TO break the force of the wind
in the valley, and but little trouble
was experienced by the Oregon-Wash-
ington Telephone Co. and the Pacific
Power & Light Co. on their rural lines.

The Oregonian New Years Annual
was out on time Saturday morning.
If one does not believe that Oregon
has set an enviable pace in the matter
of road building, just let him scan the
pages of the 1921 Annual. The big
edition, too, shows that Oregon is in
world contact through Portland's ever
growing port facilities. 1t takes an
Oregonian Annual to show us Just
what our progress the preceding year
has been.

We hear the plea that John l.. Ether
idge, who had formerly served peni-

was endeavoring to make good in his
relations with the Portland bond house,
now presenting sensational manipula-

that has been presented to date it
appears that he was in a poor place to
work a reform.

The aversion of Pacific Coast resi-
dents to the Japanes, as fellow agri-
culturists is more and more being
woven into fiction by versatile writer's.
Readers throughout the nation read
with keen interest Wallace Irwin s
"Seed of the Sum-" Now comes Peter
B. Kyne, whose stories are character
lied by virile men and lovely women,
with new novel, ''The Pride of Palo-
mar" The novel has been started in
serial form in the January Cosmopoli-
tan. 1t is going to be good story, as
are all of Mr.. Kyne's stories, and,
apparently the contest of Calfornians
to eliminate from their bounds the
Japanese question is going to play a
chief part. 1t will convey to many
minds, that would probably never
otherwise take time to give the prob
lem thought, the attitude of most of
the citizens of the Golden State.

Marriages Show Increase

Hood River county, according to the
record of County Clerk Shoemaker.
had one more divorce case in 1920 than
for 1919. Seventeen suits for divorce
came before Judge Wilson last year.
A total of SO marriage licenses were
issued here last year. while those for
1919 were 90. The numerous weddings
of returned soldiers, it is said, caused
the increase of 1920.

sales this week probably don't
exceed two or three million.
Australia promises a 80 million
