BARTMESS Funeral Director and Practical Embalmer ESTABLISHED 18 YEARS HOOD RIVER, OREGON OLD OCEAN'S TIDE MAROONS LOCAL MAN Since the return of the Hood Kiver colony from Cannon Keaeh, where a numlier of them own property and spend several weeks during the summer, listening to the murmuring of the sea and watching the autlcs of the bewitching luerniald, they have been going about with know ing winks indicative of gome happen ing that their brother townsmen, who cannot enjoy the luxury of a summer at the seashore, were un acquainted with. As all things come to an end. how ever, ami two persons caunot keep a secret, the occasion for vague atiswers from Cannon I'.eachites has been exploded. The story Is some thing like this: Among the colony at the leneh was ex-Mayor Dick McDonald, taking well-earned recreation. With others, the doughty Scotsman engaged In the pleasant pursuit of fishing. Luck was against h'u) day after day, and he was the recipient of much good natured JoUying. Believing that the rest of the party were .lonahing his efforts in the piscatorial line, Mac de cided to sidestep them on the next tishlug excursion, and slipped off by himself, taking up his position on a rocky promontory made accessible only at low tide. There he settled down comfortably, halting his hook with extra caw, and, with the patience and dexterity of a true disciple of Isaac Walton, played for the fiuny denizens of the OF INTEREST TO THE LADIES We are now prepared to show you the best ideas of the leading COAT and SUIT MAKERS of America Having just completed our new Balcony Suit Department and having se cured the services of Miss Delia Sevvell of Spokane, to take charge of this de partment, we believe we are in a position to satisfy the most exacting tastes.

Time passed, but still the lone fish erman dreamed on (,f landing a big one. The afteri n shadows deep ened and night fell. The chill air finally caused the Apple City man to take notice and look around. With n start he saw that the old proverb was unerring, that time and tide waits for no man," and that he was marooned on his rocky perch. The wind came up, the billows rolled aud the surf struck against the rock, drenching him at every point. In the evening his friends, man like, had returned about the time supper was sizzling In the pan. They waned ror Dick to appear, casting eyes, sharpened by hunger, up and uown the beach. Xo slirn of his nn proach, however, was evident, and supper was served. Hours sped by, and finally, becom ing alarmed, the friends of the miss. Ing fisherman, supplied with lan terns, started a search. Oolng In thi direction they had heard of his tak ing, they shouted as they went along. At last, fur down the beach, thev heard a fulnt answer and presently a tremendous splashing. Holding their lanterns aloft, the searchers saw the figure of their friend coming through water up to his waist, soaked, but unharmed and smiling. The reader will no doubt say: "Very good, but how about the fish; did he get any?1' As to this, we are mum; we didn't stop to Inquire.
