From the way trayel is increasing both
firms will have to increase their stock.
Mr. J. II. McCoy has hia new barn
nearly completed and says he will
"paint her red" and the battens white.
It is a neat building and will add con
siderably to the value of his property.
It need not necessarily follow that
there is going to be a wedding because a
certain young gentleman bought a box
of cigars and had them put away until
Sunday, but some people think it will
happen just the same. '
Captain J. II. Dukes and W. B. Perry
went to The Dalles with a team a few
days since "looking for hogs." if they
didn't find any to suit it, was because
they were too big for this market, for
they certainly went to the right place.
Trout lake is getting to be quite a
famous resort for tourists. There are a
number of camping parties there now
fishing and hunting. The ice caves
with which that whole section abounds
are also attracting considerable atten
tion. The photograph gallery opposite Mid
dleton's store will be opened next Mon
day. Mr, G. Boney the proprietor has
had years of experience and is prepared
to take photographs in all sizes and
styles. He guarantees good work.

Tne game law for birds expired on the
15th, since which time the grouse have
caught it on all sides. The law should
not go into effect for a month later than
it does as while a few of the flocks are
well grown, the greater number are too
small to kill.
The Mt. Hood road is now completed.
The Chinamen came down last Sunday,
and all the other employes except car
penters came in Tuesday. It will take

the financial stnding of Hood River
people, and will be through W'ith his
work in this section in a few days. He
tells us that the narrow strip along the
railroad, Mosier, Wyeth and the Cas
cade locks is all he has to assess outside
of The Dalles.
Mr. F. R. Absten has left in our oflice
a fine seedling apple grown on his ranch..
It is of beautiful color, bright red, large
ami of delicious flavor. It resembles
the Baldwin somewhat and is called by
him "Abstcn's Favorite." It is the
most showy apple we know of and its
remarkably early ripening qualities
ought to make it a valuable variety.
C. R. Bone has some of the best town
property for sale that has yet been
placed on the market. It is going fast,
six lots being sold Wednesday, and two
Thursday, and parties desiring choice
lots will do well to call early.. Farmers
desiring to sell a portion or all of their
property will find an energetic agent in
Mr. Bone.
The state road between here and the
planing mill has several bad places in it
that should be fixed up at once. One is
where the water crosses the road near
Dr. Adams', another where the road
crosses the railroad track, at the mill,
and the road below that is full of rocks
rolled down frm the railroad embank
ment. The bridge over the flume also
needs fixing, and the attention of the
road supervisor is respectfully called
thereto.
The Lee Summit (Missouri) Jonrnul
says : "The lloon River Glacier from
Oregon calls on the Journal for an X,
which request is cheerfully acceded to.
Hood River is the town where George
Prather, an old Jtckson county boy,
lives, and, by the way, we see that
Clarkson has chopped off George's offi
cial head, and given the title of P. M. to
some one else." The Journal is mis
taken, Mr. Prather resigned like a little
man,, and he had to wait three months
to get his resignation accepted.
Mr. Thomas McKay, in falling a tree
while working for the Mt. Hood Stage
company, cut out an old fashioned copper
cent. The coin was buried in the wood
a depth of over six inches, and the grain
of the wood looked as if a chisel or some
other instrument had been driven into
the tree and the coin .then forced into
the opening. The wood had grown solid
around it, and the figures 187: cut. in the
tree indicate the. time the coin was
placed there. Some old mountain
climber can now come to thi- front and
make his newspaper a gnod item by tell
ing who put the coin there.
Judge O. M. Scott, E. L. Fcott, Hon.
E. O. McCoy and Chester Soule, of
Grants, were out at Trout lake last week,
and tit their invitation Dr. E. H. Van
Patten, of Dayton, hiki C. R. Bone went
out to visit them. They hired
a team on the oilier aula of the river
and drove ut last Tuesday night a week
ago leaving White Salmon at 9 o.'clock
in the evening. They had a very pleas
ant time, caught plenty of fish, bringing
in eighty pounds ot them on ice which
they procured from the ice caves, and
arriving home Saturday night. They
are enthusiastic in their praises of the
place and speak in glowing terms of
their treatment by Mr. and Mrs. Stohler
who haye a dairy ranch near the lake.
