fcod jiver Slacier. FEIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, IS95. . The prospects now for the ditch of the Valley Improvement company be ing built are bright. The substantial Bubscrlptlons winch have rolled up on the list being circulated by thecoinmit teeof the company, during two and one-half days, have aggregated $5000, besides the subscriptions of the origi iual seven incorporators, and all hands feel much encouraged by the way In which the people holding land along the route, have given right of way so freely. The sequel to the whole scheme U thai ttie people will build the ditch duriug me winter months, while they cannot euru inone otherwise, and will be as well oir financially as If it had' not been done, besides having the ditch their own, instead of some foreigner continually drawing money for water rent out of the valley. Space will not permit of a publication of the list of names this week, but it will be done later, as several who will sub scribe have not yet been seen by the committee. The proposition of right of way is practically settled. The lum ber deal is made, and before our next issue the mill will be moved to the head of the ditch and, if the weather permits, will be cutting lumber. If the republicans of the second dis trict want a man in congress who is in full accord with his party on national questions, and in every way competent to fill the office, they should nominate Mr. Jolyi Michell of The Dalles. Mr. Michel I has labored long for bis party as an editorial writer, is a protectionist of the McKinley school, sound on the money question, a gentleman and a scholar, and would fit the office of con gressman better than any man we know of in the republican party of Eastern Oregon. The American Agriculturist figures out a crop of 06,256,000 barrels of apples this year, or about a barrel for every man, woman and child in the country The apple crop of the six states of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois and Michigan is' nearly as large as that of all the rest of the country, territories included. ; As long ago as 1824, Germany had an apple considered superior to any other, called the "Borsdorffer." It was sent to London In the shape California wraps her oranges,' every apple in a single wrapper, and they brought fab ulous prices. ' The prospects are good for the na tional republican convention next year coming to Ban Francisco. Frankton Notes. Written by the pupils of Frankton school. Prof.. J. T. Neffwent to The Dalles on Wednesday's noon train to act with . the board of examiners at the county examination of teachers, consequently our school had a three-days' vacation this week. " M, Willis is building a wood shed. A man and wife and two children fire expected to move Into W. B. Perry's house, now occuoied by Mr. Reiner and family, after Mr. Reiner moves his family to Eastern Washing ton. The family "lately arrived from Nebraska, coming all the way in an old fashoned "prairie schooner," and were on the road since the 27th of May. Mr. E. D. Calkins and Frank Caddy were engaged last week in sowing grain on the farm of Cbas. Rogers, which they have rented. ' Two Frankton citizens climbed to the top of the high mountain east of town and north of where The Dalles wagon road turns east, last Sunday afternoon. Tbey report that a fine bird's-eye view of the surrounding country can be had from there. Even the country as far to the northeast as the Slmcoe mountaius is plainly vis ible. Another high mountain hid the view-to the east. As the sun was shin ing brightly in the west, a good view of our valley could not be obtained. Mr. Wm. Tillett, while in The Dalles recently, purchased an organ. - Prof. F. H. Isenberg and G. O. Rich paid a visit to our school Tuesday. Belmont Notes. Belmont, Nov. 12. Mr. Frazier of Portland was visiting relatives here last week. Misses Mellie and Ethel Rigby will spend the winter months in Belmont, which will make a pleasant addition to Belmont society. Mrs. Bomerville of Lexington, Neb., met with a serious accident', a few weeks ago, while returning from church in company with her son, Wm. Som ervllle, and family. 1 The horses taking fright at a passing train, shied and up set the carriage, resulting in the fract ure of her right arm in two places. The other occupants of the carriage escaped with a few bruises.- ' ' Last Friday evening a party of young folks iiitt jt the home of Mrs. Rich for a surprise to Miss Margaret Frazier and Mr. George Rich. Every one enjoyed themselves very much, and the time to say "Good night" came too quickly. Those present were: Misses Margaret Frazier, "Bess Isenberg, Mellie and Ethel Rigby, Edith Eastman, Ella Isenberg, Edilh Potter, Theresa Morse, Pearl 'and Lollie Templeton, and Messrs. George Rich, Will Isenberg; Joe Frazier, Dae Gibbons, Howard Isenberg, Charles Castner, Charles Wallace, Marshall Isenberg, Walter Isenberg, Ralph Savage. Reme. The Late Frederick Kemp. Editor Glacier: As I have seen nothing in any of the county papers about the late Mr. Kemp, except a mere mention of his death, permit me to say a few words of tribute in mem ory of a friend, a neighbor and a Christian. ' Frederick Kemp was an Englishman by birth, bei,ng born in Hornsea, York shire, England, March 10, 1839, and was over 56 years of age. He came to America in 1855, when only 16 years of age, and after traveling as far west as Illinois, was married in that state, at Erie, in 1863, to. Miss Alice Ra worth. He came to Oregon in 1876, first settling in the Willamette valley, where he re sided a few years. After this he moved to The Dalles, where for many years he worked as a blacksmith in the shops of the O. R. & N. Co., accumulating a small competence, with which, in 1883, he bought land and made the begin ning of a home for his family in Hood River valley. Here he labored and toiled till almost the last day of his life, when on Satur day evening, the Sflith of October, he closed his eyes to rest forever from his work here on earth. Mr. Kemp was a man of many excellent qualities, sober, industrious and honest one " whose word was as good as his bond," and withal a true Christian. - Added to thin, true to his English blood, he had the grit to be a brave man to the end. Tnough he worked most of the time, he had been suffering considerably the last few months, but none of us knew exactly what the trouble was. Then he had a fall, a week or so before his death, which no doubt hastened the close of his life. Those who saw him after his hurt were impressed with the patient dignity of his pale face, but none guessed that, with the courage of a hero, he was fighting his last fight arid was hiding his mortal suffering lest he should di vert attention from his 1 wife lying at the point of death. Troy Shelley. November Proverbs. AsNovember,sothe following March. If November 1st the beech acorn is dry, we will stick behind the stove in winter; but if it is wet, and not light, this winter will not be dry but wet. If November 11th the geese stand on ice, they will walk iu mud at Christ mas. . If the leaves of the trees and grape vines do not fall before November 11th, a cold winter may be expected. Clear autumn, windy weather. If there be ice in November that will bear a duck, There will be nothing thereafter but sleet and muck. Flowers in bloom late in autumn in dicate a bad winter. , ' Thunder in November indicates, a fertile year to come. When beech acorns thrive well, and oak trees hang full, a hard winter will follow with much snow. As November 21st, so the winter. Much fog iu autumn, much snow in winter. After a warm autumn, a long winter. An early winter is surely winter. Wheu winter does not come early it will continue late. If November 11th is fair, dry and cold, the cold in winter will not last long. As on November 25th, foiil or fair, so will be the next February. D. W. Hayes, a well known horse trainer of Western New York, gives the following recipe for getting rid of lice on horses: Half a pint of kerosene to two gallons of water. Wash the horse twice with this, with an interval of two, or three days between applica tions, "and any lice you may find after that I will give a premium for," says Mr. Hayes. A Writer in the American Agricul turist tells the result of spraying in his apple orchard. On five rows sprayed but once he got 75 per cent of perfect fruit, while on the remaining part of the orchard, which he sprayed twice, he got 90 per cent. He used Paris green, one pound to 160 gallons of water. The first spraying was made when the apples were not larger than peas; the next, about a week later. ' County Assessor F. H. Wakefield has just finished the assessment roll for 1895. Assisted by Deputy County Clerk C.L. Gilbert, Miss Lang and Miss Ida Wake field, the assessor has been exceedingly busy during the past few weeks, the force working oftentimes late into the night. The work has every appearance of being thoroughly done; the book is neat and great care has been taken to have accuracy in everything. As Mr. Wakefield says, his assistants have taken great pride in their work and he is sure the taxpayers of the county wiil feel that everything has been' thor oughly done. The amount of taxable property this year is $3,230,999. Last year it was $2,960,151, a gain to the county of over $250,000. Chronicle.

Editor Glacier: I would just like to say to the fruit growers of this sec tion that I have made a great com pound discovery, which, if taken ad vantage of, will be of incalculable ben efit to all growers of apples for all time hereafter. The first part of my discov ery relates to that wicked little pest, the codlin moth; and the second part to the place designed by Nature for that much abused though very worthy animal, the razor-back hog. , Now, there are some ill-advised peo ple who would sneer at the old razor back, but I am not one of them. In deed, there Is much about him that is worthy of admiration. And then, too, he is so much like man (at least like some men), being never so happy as when he has his own nose in the pie to the exclusion of all others. He can also lay claim to belonging to the first families of his species. True, he goes to war one side at a time, but then he goes for all he's worth, and he delivers his broadsides with all the energy and address of a man-of-war: and if forced to beat a retreat, does so like a prudent general, witli an eye well to his rear, and .whenever bis enemy is within striking distance, wheels about with the stiffness and precision of a drill sergeant, his bristles to the fore, his forces well in order, and as ready for the fray as when the ball first opened. He has also several other sobriquets besides razor-back he is known as the land pike, poke digger and with split ter, each of which were no doubt given to him in honor of some one or ot her of his many accomplishments or personal peculiarities. Now, the razor-back is just as - Nature made him, and Nature seldom makes mistakes. The old dame no doubt foresaw that man, as he ad vanced in civilization, would (like the bird in. its evolution from the serpent i require a change of food; that he would take to growing fruits; that insect pests would follow; that man would not yet have attained to sufficient develop ment, mental or moral, to protect the little feathered songsters that feed on insects injurious to fruits. So she made the razor-back and set him to digging poke auct otherwise foraging a preca rious existence until such time as man should require his services in the or chard; intending, no doubt, to put him on the retired list as s-oon as man be came sufficiently civilized to quit kill ing the birds. Who that has ever seen his hogship back in God's country, chasing and scrambling after every chance acorn or hickory nut that happened to fall, will doubt for a moment his ability to keep tab on every wormy apple that, falls; or who that has ever seen him, head downward in a- three-foot hole, trying to dig out a poke root as big as a man's body, could deny; his ability to cope successfully with the root-gnawing moles and worms of our orchards, as well as to keep the ground thorounhly cultivated, and thus again keep upset ting the calculations of thecodlin moth with regard to his hybernating quar ters for the winter, until the moth gives up the fight in disgust and seeks a more healthy. and congenial climate for his future field of operations? But man, in his ambition to improve on the works of his Creator, has well nigli improved the noble old razor-back out of existence, and his degenerate de scendant, the modern hog, is but an indifferent substitute for the purposes above mentioned. The shortening of his snout has tended to blunt his keen sensibilities, and the putting of his sides and rounding of his back has not only dulled his alert intellect, but has made of him a lazy, indolent creature, lacking much of the courage, energy and ability of his illustrious ancestor. But then the hog is not to blame for his degeneracy, for an over amount of luxury and indulgence has a precisely similar effect on a certain biped called man. McGinniss. 0. D. Taylor Heard From. .Word has been received here that Rev. O. D. Taylor, projector of the Grand Dalles and other numerous schemes in this vicinity, has been held on bonds of $8000 at Saginaw, Mich., to answer to a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The charge on which he is held rose out of certain transactions he had with par ties in Michigan in connection with lands located in this vicinity. Our informant did not know at what date Mr. Taylor'a case would be investigated by the Saginaw grand jury. Moun taineer. . Wood was selling for $3 per cord at Rufus last, week. . - Tuesday morning the sheriff of Klickitat county arrested Messrs Egan, Bradford and Zeigler, at White Sal mon, for cutting and moving the fence from the property of C. D. Moore. It seems the fence was put across the pri vate road used by the parties, through Mr. Moore's, and as the latter refused to give them a way out they cut down the fence, and went through Moore's land on the old road. The sheriff read the warrant to them and they came up under arrest iu charge of them selves, last night, and went on to Goldendale this morning. Mountain eer. , . ' Hon; E. O. McCoy and C. R. Bone of the C. C. Co. at Grant, have been" doing a little detective ' work. They missed 54 sacks of Klickitat ' wheat from the le"vee on the Oregon side, and traced it to a ranch near- Hay Stack rock Occupied by Bunnell Bros. Not wishing a disturbance in the neighbor hood over such a trifle as stealing a boat load or two of wheat, theBunnells concluded to pay for the wheat, and the expenses of hunting it up, and use it for seed. Moro Observer. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia suc ceeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours witn little interruption, and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend rec ommended Dr. King's New Discovery; It was quick in its work and highly sat isfactory in results." Trial bottles free at the Hood River Pharmacy; regular size 50c and $1.
