A. Schenck of Baraboo, Wisconsin; and another from Wasco county's effi cient and popular sheriff, Robt. Kelly, of The Dalles. Mr. Kelly concludes his letter thus: "Let. the light of the Sun continue to shine in this office; life w6uld be a burden without it." The following services will be held in the United Brethren Church next Sun day: Sunday School, 10 a. m. ; Preach ing, 11 a. m. theme, "Two Parallel Gardens;" Y. P. S. C. E; meeting, led by Miss Grace Howell, 7 p. m. ; preach ing, 8 p. m. theme, "The Real-Test of Sincerity." ,;A , children's sermon will precede the morning service. A cordial invitation is extended to all. J. P. Watson, before leaving this week for Omaha, sold his lot in South Wau coma to Geo. P. Crowell, the merchant. South Waucoma is the name given to that portion of the town of Hood River, lying around the beautiful home of Capt. Coe, about midway between the business portion of town and Paradise Farm. ' Waucoma iff the Indian name for Hood River and means Cottonwood. We had a pleasant call Friday evening from Messrs. M. P. Isenberg and John Donohue, two substantial farmers and fruit growers from the Belmont neigh borhood. Mr. Isenberg has been promi nently identified with' republican poli tics, and bears the distinction of being the only man in the United States who voluntarily resigned ' a fat government position. During Harrison's adminis tration Mr- Isenberg, a native of Penn sylvania, was appointed special agent of the land department, the " duties of which kept him on the move almost constantly in all of the states west of the Mississippi. Becoming tired of being absent from his family; and so much travel, "he concluded to resign his posi tion and locate in Hood River . valley which he considers the finest garden spot and most delightful climate in the United States. , . - Last week our type made it read that owing to the rapid growth of the postr office here, the office soon would doubt less be raised from a fourth to a third- class office, with $1000 a year salary Our popular postmaster, Win. Yates, informs us that it has already been raised to a third-class office', with $1100 a year salary, the raise having been made a couple of months ago. Doubt less it will be soon raised to a presiden tial office. ." Wm. M. Stewart, of the wide-awake mercantile firm of Rand & Stewart, is not only a competent business man but also a, pronounced disciple of Ike Walton, the famous fisherman. In fact Mr. Stew.art would rather miss a meal any time than a chance to bag a few fine salmon trout, and he spends a good deal of time at this, his favorite amusement. The other day he caught such a whol loper at the bridge over Hood river, five miles south of town, that the strain in pulling him out of the water made Billy bow-legged. ' But he doesn't mind a lit tle thing like that since he landed the fish, which. weighed 18 pounds. , . Deserves Heavy Damages. . Hon. E. S. Joslyn of "Colorado Springs, Colo., has been visiting this section of the world for the past - week.; Mr. Jos lyn is the pioneer settler " of White Salmon, having moved there in the spring of 1853. In the fall of 1855 the idiotic meddling of a set of military dough heads with the resident Indians of the Klickitat tribe, wrought them up to such a pitch of hostility that Mr. Joslyn was obliged to move his family to safer quarters. Early in the spring of 1856 the savages burned his home and buildings, and after the Cascade massa cre the government took possession of his farm, using it for three years as a reservation, and almost completely de stroying what the Indians had left. In addition to the loss of his improvements the Indians killed or drove off his live stock, so that on his return at the end of the government occupancy of his farm, Mr. Joslyn found absolutely noth ing left except a couple of log houses built for the use of the agency. Not only has the government refused to make good the damage done by its dusky wards, but has also refused to reimburse him for the time they used his farm for a reservation. .. For over forty years Mr. Joslyn has urged the justice of claims upon congress without avail and now when all other plans have failed he proposes to invoke the strong arm of the law. During the past few years he has watched with in dignation the thousands of robber pen sion claims that, having been refused recognition by the pension bureau, were rushed through congress, while the righteous claim of a man who dared to trust himself far beyond the pale of civilization is thrust aside. After en during all the dangers and privations of. pioneer life he cannot obtain a paltry rental of his home that the government took from him by force. i Mr. Joslyn is a well preserved man of 74 years of age and has hosts of friends who wish him every success in his en deavor to obtain justice. ' . ; A Great Industry. " One of the greatest industries in Hood River valley is the Davidson Fruit Co. , H. F. Davidson, "president, and A. P. Bateham, secretary. During the busy season, last spring for several months over 100 aoys and girls were employed in this ' great- canning establishment, which is one of the largest in the state, outside of Portland. They make their own crates and boxes and furnish them to fruit growers at cost. Next . season they will enlarge their building and plant to double its size and capacity and put in a great deal more machinery. The company owns a great deal of the finest strawberry land in the country, besides rents 20 acres from Dr. Adams, at the" Paradise farm. They also do an enor mous commission business. The members of this company are all progressive lousiness men, who under stand ; their business thoroughly, the president, H. F. Davidson, having been one of the original incorporators of the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union, for which, he was secretary five years. With such an institution right here at home, which furnishes a market for all kinds of products, at the highest cash prices, it certainly is a great inducement for the fruit and berry growers to go in to the business on a larger scale. . 'v Ilassalo Club. - The "Hassalo Club" is the latest or ganization in Hood River. It was got ten un bv the representative voune men of the town for the purpose of providing a nice respectable place 01 amusement, where the long winter evenings can be whiled away reading, singing, playing all kinds of games, social intercourse, athletic performances and a general good time.
