the next year. ' '
W. Ross Winans, who owns a valuable
tract of land at Hood River Falls, 11
miles southwest of town, believes he

made of it will be on exhibition at the

ger in a strange land to be able to get all
of the local news for the first issues of a
paper, but we expect to do better in that
line after becoming better acquainted.
We hope our friends will not be back
ward about telling us the news when
they know of an item worthy of publica
tion. . Dr. W. L. Adams promises to favor
the readers of the Son in the near fu
ture with a series of articles on '.'An

teresting subjects. The Doctor is one of
the brightest old gentlemen in the coun
try, having in former years been a
journalist and political orator of national
reputation. T
Now that a start has been made to
build brick buildings here, several of our
business men have concluded to erect
brick business buildings,1 work to commence-perhaps
yet "this fall. Hood
River has a brilliant 'future ahead of it,
and there will be a building boom here
within the next year or so that will sur
prise some of the . people", ; who thought
until just recently that this town would
never be anything more than a quiet lit
tle country visage. ,

Louis Nicolai, of Portland,' who has a
logging camp at White Salmon, opposite
Hood River, had the misfortune to fall
from a shanty he was building, Satur
day, and broke several bones of one of
his feet. He was brought to. town at
once and had the fractures reduced by
Dr. Shaw, and on Monday he returned
to his home in Portland.
. There are no more enterprising or
progressive business men in the state
than Messrs. Bone & McDonald, who
are doing a very large mercantile busi
ness here. Their very courteous man
ner and fair treatment to the public is
winning for them" new friends and cus
tomers every day, and they well deserve
the rapidly growing trade they are en
joying. ; ' ;
A Western editor was running the
motto "We tell the truth" at the head
of his paper. The other day, however,
he was compelled to encounter several
gentlemen who objected to the truth be
ing told, "and as . a consequence : the
motto disappeared and the following
notice was printed: "Until we recover
from injuries received, this paper will
lie just like the rest of them."
We desire to heartily thank our able
corps of correspondents for their valua
ble assistance in furnishing the local
news of the neighborhood for our first
issue, and hope they will continue in
the good work. It is not only a great
advantage to all of the readers, but also
to the different sections to be so intelli
gently represented and advertised to the
world. Send in your correspondence to
reach us not later than Monday night.
Clvde T. Bonnev was over on the
Washington side doincr business a eouule
of days this week. Mr. Bonney is one
of the most energetic' young business
men on the Coast and the way his large
business is steadily growing, proves that
he possesses all the qualifications of a
shrewd and first-class business - man.
The efficient and obliging manner in
which his clerk, Henry McGuire, who
has been with him for five years, looks
after the business, adds largely to the
popularity of this well-known business
house, "Reciprocity Corner."
A number of wealthy -Portlanders.
realizing that this is the most delightful
residence location to be found on the
Coast, have concluded to build fine resi
dences in Hood River or vicinity, where
tiieir tamiues will remain a greater por
tion of the time. The O. R. & N. Co.,
having straightened the track and im
proved the road generally, will soon be
able to cover the distance of 65 miles be
tween Hood River and Portland in less
than two hours, and this will encourage
a great many of the wealthy people of
the city to have residences here. ...
Wm. Turnbow, an old-time printer,
and one of the Oregon Volunteers who
recently returned from the Philippines,
is holding down a case in this office at
present. Charley Rathbun, who is in
the employ of the Mt. Hood Stage Co.,
here, was also in the Philippines and
served in the same company. They
were in 22 different engagements and
no doubt were" the direct cause of mak
ing a number of "good" Filipinos. Like
other savages, the only good ones are
those converted by means of cold lead. J
One of the many cash subscriptions
sent in from outside for the Son before
the first issue was out, was from our old
friend, . Mr. Clarence r A. : Shurte, the
leading merchant of Arlington and one
of the most honorable business men in
the state. We regret our inability to
accept the invitation to attend the mar
riage of Mr. Shurte and Mrs. N. R.
Barnhart, one of Hood River's most
estimable ladies, which took place in
Spokane on the 7th inst. - They have
already gone to housekeeping at Arling
ton, with the . best wishes of a host' of
friends. . - .''.''
Perhaps no man in this country has
done more for the upbuilding and ad
vancement of Hood River than Capt. A.
S. Blowers. He and his son, Lawrence,
are having the first brick building
erected in Hood River, which will be a
credit to not only themselves and the
town, but to this entire section. It is
25 x 80 feet, one-story, with a basement
the entire length of the building, and
will be ready for occupancy in about one
month, with an immense stock of gene
ral merchandise. . Mr. Blowers owns a
large amount of the richest garden land
in Hood River valley. ' Recently he has
disposed of about 100 acres, lying on the
hill, south of, town, P. H. Martin, who
recently, moved here with his family
from Prineville, buying 40 acres, and
this week he sold a 21-acre strawberry
ranch to Burns Jones for $1575, or $75
an acre. He also sold 10 acres near Bel
mont to Tyler & Saterlee for $600,

A Serious Accident.
A serious accident happened Satur
day at the Nicoli sawmill, five miles
west of town. - While the smokestack
was being raised, the derrick collapsed,
knocking from a high scaffold Frank
Knapp and E. Roberson. It was almost
miraculous that both were not instantly
killed, but they sustained some very se
vere injuries, Mr. Knapp, compression
of the skull and chest, rendering him
unconscious for twelve hours after the
accident. Mr. Roberson was more for
tunate and escaped with but slight in
jury to his legs which will lay him up
for ten days. The attending physician,
Dr. Shaw, reports both getting along as
well as could be expected.

School in District No. . 41 commenced
last Monday with Miss Ruth Sturgess
behind the desk. Charley says he is
not through hauling wood yet, but will
get a rustle on and try to attend later on
when the teacher will not be so busy.
District No. 52 opened school a week
earlier, with Miss Edith Wright, of
Portland, at the helm.
The 0. R. & N. Co.'s engineers are
camped in our town, and have been lay
ing out change of line between Hood
River and this place, straightening the
line in many places. . If this good work
is carried out, it will not be necessary
to get seasick riding between these
points, and will also throw quite a sum
of money into circulation along the line
of work. ..-. .
Mr. J. W. McGowan and Company
have been trying to seine on the bar at
the lower Mosier Landing for a week
past, but have met with little success.
They also put in a trap opposite Memo
loose Island, and had the bad luck to
get in too late to catch any fish. They
have been to quite a good deal of ex
pense in their venture and we are sorry
they could not meet with more success.
1 Since No. 4 has been stopping here to
give the , engine a drink every day for
some time past, very seldom a day
passes that it does not pick up from 'one
to half a dozen passengers. But they
all have to go .to the tank to get aboard,
as the train has not time to stop at the
platform. A stranger would naturally
ask, "why is it thus?" Well, come
here and live one year and you will not
have to ask such foolish questions.
Quite a number of our people went to
the harvest fields of Sherman and Uma
tilla counties, some of whom returned
during the last week. Among whom we
note F. M. Hunter and son Price, I. D.
Evans and Carl Weidner. Carl secured
an upper berth on train No. 3, at Walla
Walla and came straight through with
out change of cars, and considers it the
best day's work done on his trip, in
point of money saved."
The way the people have been rolling
the wood into the station for two or
three weeks past, shows that 'some peo
ple have not been idle last spring and
winter, but have been fulfilling the old
command to "earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow." Well boys, we
like to see you hauling wood, but don't j
forget to put up the bars twice every
load, and also don't forget to sign the
petition for the change of road.
We understand that J. M. Carroll has
secured the position of foreman for the
Union Warehouse Co., at Rufus. John
is a rustler and fully qualified for the
position in every point of view and we
wish him success. We also learn that
Sam Stark is filling a position in the
office of the same company at Biggs, Or.
Sam went to that country to buck sacks
and we are not surprised to hear of his
promotion, for he possesses the qualities
that forge to the front." ' ' - :.' ' .

Editor Son : This lively lumber
camp is eight miles west of Hood River,
on the O. R. & N. line. Here is located
a branch plant of the great Oregon Lum
ber company, a corporation whose head
Offices are located .in Utah. . The im
mense amount of lumber, ties and tim

by but few. The mills are located four
miles back in the mountains on the
Washington side. A railroad three
miles long bring the logs to the mill ;
from the. mill to the river the lumber
gracefully glides down a flume that is
100 feet high in places and cost, to build
and maintain, $30,000. From there it
is rafted across the river and loaded on
cars and started on its journey to all
parts of the West this side of the Miss
issippi; but principally to Colorado,
Utah and Nevada. ' Twelve hundred
car-loads have been shipped so far this
season and to keep up with the orders
the planer and mills are kept running
night and day. The pay roll carries a
list of over three hundred names,, wages
per day of eleven hours, running from
$1.75 to $3.50. Good common laborers
receive $2; married men preferred. -

1 YOUR OWN ICEMAN.
Caves Across the Columbia Where
the Ice Crop Never Fails.
. ' Oregonian. .
Ice for the cutting, and that in Autrust
and September, is a novelty not often
found in regions as far south as the
Columbia river basin; but the novelty
is enjoyed every year by people who
visit the ice caves under the shadows of
Mount Adams, near Hood River, on the
Washington side. It is a very extensive
region. Frank Mctarland, the well
known' life insurance agent, who has
just returned from a six weeks vacation
there, and at his farm near Hood River,
gives an interesting account of its gen
eral make-up. -v - , - ,
At the ice-caves, which are six miles
from Trout lake7 the stalactites are more
beautiful and wonderful this vear than
ever before, and this was Mr. McFar
land's 15th--trip there- He broke off
and took to camp chunks of ice weigh
ing 100 pounds. Pleasure parties who
come to the lake use considerable of the
ice ior packing their trout to take home..
All you have to do is to take a torch of
Eioh pine or a lantern and go into the
ig caves and pack off all the ice you
want. It is a sure crop, and never fails.
As companion campers there Mr. Mc
Farland had 125 people, who came from
The Dalles, : Arlington, Heppner and
Portland. There were also 300 Indians
camped there, who were attending to
their annual harvest of the huckleberry.
They are Klickitats and Columbias, and
they work in Shifts. While one party is
picking the other party takes the berries
on horseback to market. They sell
them at 50 cents a gallon at settlements
all the way to The Dalles, and bring
back groceries and red calico and such
luxuries, and do a profitable summer's
business. There are hundreds of acres
of huckleberry orchards up there, and
they do their own cultivating and irri
gating, and their crops never fail. They
are. the red men's friends and the white
women's delight at canning time. .-, 1
,' At Trout lake the .fishing was good
and is always good. The country, is
settling up, and new ranches, and new
homes are being made. . It is a region of
4en, picturesque pine and fir, and new
sawmills are starting to 'supply the local
