DIED. In Hood River valley, June 8, 1897, Amy Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. 0. Rogers, aged 12 years. HOOD RIVER ITEMS. Swlpea From the Columns of the Glacier.. A crate of berries picked and packed by J. J. Luckey was shipped by Joe. A. Wilson at midnight May 25 tb, and reached its destination, 133 miles east ot Pittsburg, May 31st; A letter re ceived from tbe recipient states that the crate arrived in excellent condition, not bruised strawberry in the lot. The price of Hood River strawberries in Butte advanced 25 cents per crate Tuesday. On that date Mr. Coon re cefved a carload of berries from the Hood River union, but having the field all to himself, was able to raise the price. The car contained 611J crates. A few days previous 300 crates of Hood River berries blocked the market and reduced prices at that point. The Glacier is very happy to be able to take back part of the story it pub lished laBt week about the strawberry patches of Harry Brown and J. E. Binns. Mr. Binns sent us on Tuesday a box of bis berries, which were as fine as any we have seen this season. We are informed that tbe little yellow lice lasted bat a day or two, and since then both Mr. Brown and Mr. Binns have been shipping as good a quality of berries as were grown in the valley. Work commenced last week in earnest on the East Side Irrigating ditch. Mr, C. R. Bone has purchased stork in this company and is a member of the board of directors, which is good assurance that the work will now be pushed to conmletion. Two shove scrapers have been constructed, faced with plow steel, that are doing effective work. This ditch will irrigate all tillable land on the East Side, and when complete will cover more than three times the area of the Improyement Co.'s ditch. Opinion of Wood Tick. Sticking to the sagebrush, tbe grease wood and the natives in Malbenr county is a species of exodus albipictus, and by people in a, hurry called wood ticks, says an Eastern Oregon editor. Tbey are dipterous, with steel traps on their feet and a diamond-drilling ap paratus attached to each palpus. They sometimes feed on doss, but prefer boys and printers. They are without wings, but can jump 300 feet, and when they get beneath your pajamas, the damage tbey do is not so much in what tbey eat as what they tramp down. A wood tiek is not so large as a ball dog, but he is more to be dreaded than a book agent or a Spanish mule. Some people, when they find an exodus albipictus sticking to f hem, take the bullet molds and ruth lessly tear away what there is in sight, but this is not the correct way to do, as it leaves the mandibles still in your company, and a sore that will not quit itching for mine years. Tbe only proper thing to do when you find a wood tick screwed (they are never nailed) to you is to take a gold-beaded needle, run It into the tick at the point that offers the least resistance, until it penetrates the pons varoli of the medulla oblongata, then hold a lighted lucifer match to the protruding part of the needle; this car ries the heat to the aforesaid pons varoli, which causes the tick to with draw his corkscrew and also to get out i of business. Drive Them Down. Whatever else may be said of and concerning The Dalles sidewalks, they cannot be charged with having ingrow ing nails. The measly spikes stick up promiscuously, knocking the veneering off tbe new shoes and the soles off the old ones. It is not conducive to pleas ure, nor an adjunct to good morals to perambulate these aids to proficiency in the art of profanity.. When a lady stubs one of her Trilbies on a projecting hand spike and ruins a pair of f 5 ehoeB, and before she recovers her equilibrium of body or temper another spike reaches up and catches on to tbe bottom of her skirts and brings her to a dead halt, the air is not redolent of profanity as it would be were she a man, but the ago nized look of utter disgust at not being permitted to give audible expression to her feelings, is pathetically touching. The city council would do well to pass an ordinance compelling property-owners to drive down the measly nails.' A Fatal Accident. Yesterday afternoon a special train, consisting of a coach and caboose, carry ing tbe officials of tbe road, who were on a tour of inspection, ran into a hand car near Rooster Rock. The cars, as is the custom on such occasions, were be ing pushed by tbe engine. On tbe hand car were a man named Rathburn, brother of the O. R. & N. port captain at Portland, a young son of Edward Dunne, section foreman at Rooster Rock, and another man whose name we could not learn. At or near Rooster Rock the train rounding a curve, came suddenly on to the hand car, striking it before its occupants were a bis to jump. The Dunne boy, aged we are told abont 10 years, was killed instantly, and Rath born was so serioualv injured that be died at an early hour this morning. One business man wanted in every city (not already taken) for exclusive sale of manufactured goods. Applicant must furnish few hundred dollars cash capital to carry small stock of saleable merchandise with which to supply his own customers after orders are first se cured. Two hundred dollars monthly profit assured over all expenses. State references, qualifications, etc. F. E. Vail, 136-140, Nassau St., New York. junl5-6t Senator Aldrlch's Condition.

Tbe heat prevailing is the highest on recod, 126 degrees in the shade, hav ing been registered at Jacobad, on the frontier of Beloochistan. Deafness Cannot be Cored by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is tbe result, and unless tbe inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine casds out of ten are cansed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The Passing; Stranger Always Invited In and Taken Care Of. lae latch string bangs out" ex pressed the hospitality of the southern frontier in the days "before the war." If a traveler rode up before the fence that separated the log cabin from the road he was greeted by " 'Light, stranger, 'light!" Without this salu tation no one dismounted, but it was rarely withheld. Mr. Williams, in his recent book, "Sam Houston," thus de scribes the impulse of hospitality, which made every traveler a guest during the early settlement o.f Texas: The traveler who rode up to the front fence was instantly invited to alight. His horse was staked out or hobbled to feed on the prairie grass and the visitor sat down to exchange the news with his host. The coffee mill was set going, if there were any of the precious grains in the house, and the hopper m the hollow log to' grind ing the corn. The venison or bear meat was put on the coals and the ashcake baked. After the meal and the evening pipe the visitor stretched himself on a buf falo robe on the floor with the mem bers of the family and slept the sleep of health and fatigue. In the morning tne response to any inquiry as to the charge was: "You can pay me by com ing again." The story that a certain hospitable settler used to waylay travelers on the road and compel them to visit him at the muzzle of a double-barreled shot gun was only a humorous exaggeration of the instinct for hospitality which characterized the community. The visitor was a living newspaper, who brought the only news obtain able, and was a welcome relief to the monotony and loneliness of the wilder ness. - - Subscribe for Thb Chhoni'cle. ' THE FUNNEL TRICK. Am Interesting; Problem Devised by Sport ive Californlans. , Jerry Lynch has finally learned the funnel, trick. He took it in two doees one on one evening- and the other the next. The senator sauntered up to the Bohemian club the other day and 'saw two or three of the younger members at tempting- a now feat-, and he watched them with interest. One of them, says the San Francisco News Letter, stuck a funnel inthetopof his trousers, threw his head back, placed a 50-cent piece on his forehead and tried to-drop it in the funnel toy s-lowly lowering- his head After all had failed Jerry insisted on trying it, though all had tried to dissuade him from attempting a feat too difficult . for them. The funnel was placed in the waistband of his trousers and he threw back his head to receive the coin on his expansive brow. At that juncture a pitcher of ice water was emptied into the funnel, and by the time Jerry got through dancing the jokers had vanished. The senator's temper improved with dry raiment and the next night at the club he started in to show a couple of friends the funnel trick. . "It's this way," Tie explained, "you put the funnel in the top of your panta loons, so, then throw your head back, so, and wow!" Again Jerry was forced to change his raiment, and he is not showing people what he knows about the funnel trick. HARD ON CATS. A French Government Commissioner Cen sures the Conduct of Official Cats. The French government has just had occasion to appoint a commission to inquire into the grievances of the c-?.ts in its employ. Their report is an amus ing exhibition of official stupidity, and will rouse a righteous indignation in the bosom of all friends of the useful mo user. . It appears that cats are kept in. some of the French military magazines to keep down the surplus population of rats and mice. Thedr food is regulated by ministerial decree according to cir cumstances, and at present there is a regulation in force authorizing an ex penditure of 2y2 centimes per cat per diem. But this noes not eeem enough, as the unfortunate governmental cats have grown extremely thin, so at last the ministry appointed specialists to inquire into the matter. These have gravely reported that "the cats of the army are very slow to accustom them selves to the diet prescribed bv tbe fro v ernrcent circular. Thus they seldom eat bread, and never lap up greasy wa ter unless actually driven thereto by pangs of hunger, so that tihey nre dying off or else abandoning the mil ':Ui ry mag azines. A Chinese Filedriver. Piles were being driven in one of the new buildings for a foundation for punch, iney were eight inches in diameter and fourteeen feet long. The staging was bamboo, and so was the frame for the hammer, which was round piece of cast iron, with a hole in the center for a guide rod. Attached to the hammer block were 27 ropes, car ried up to the top of the frame and down on the outside, looking very much like the old-fashioned Maypole. Twenty- seven women had holu of the ends, and with a sing-song, all together, pulled down; up the rod, four feet, trav eled the hammer; then, at a scream, all let go, and down it came on top of the pile, which was protected by a band or ring. 1 he women were paid 20 cents in gold per day. This Maypole driver is in general use throughout Japan and China. INSECTS. M. de iIsr.E discovered an animal cule that could run six inches in a sect ond, and calculated that it must move its legs no less than i;200 times in that brief period. The millers are greatly annoyed by worms which appear in the flour from time to time and then mysteriously dis appear, without impairing the value of the flour. Latreille once cut off the antennas of an ant, and its companions, evident ly compassionating its sufferings, an- nointed the wounded parts with drops of fluid from their mouths. Tbe aphides are the milch kine of the ants, and are regularly approached and milked by the latter. Ants have been known to keep the apli ides in cap tivity, as cows are kept m cities.
