3eed Jiver Slacier. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1S95. Our (own government haa not been expensive, so far. As will be seen by the treasurer's report in the council proceedings, in another column, the total indebtedness above the balance in the treasury is $66.10. This is a good showing for the first i year, during which the expense of incorporation, compiling and publishing ordinances, purchasing books and stationery, etc., was met. The record for economy made by the town officials during the first year of its government is one to be proud of. The attack on Minister t Bayard in congress, Tuesday, led by Barrett of Massachusetts, who called for his Im peachment for his free trade utterances in an address delivered ift Scotland a short time ago, may make our ambas sador to the court of St. James the democratic candidate for the presi dency next year. And with the cam paign fought on the old line of the tariff, the result may not be such a one-sided affair, after all. At the meeting of the national re publican committes . In Washington City, Tuesday, St. Louis was selected as the place of meeting of the national convention, and the date fixed at June 16th next.- ' Hood Jtivcr Public Library.

Teachers' Annual Institute. ; To the Teachers of Wasco County: A teachers' normal institute for the teachers of this county and those of ad joining counties who may wish to at tend has been planned to meet at The Dalles,. December 30th, and continue 1 in session two weeks. Many teachers of this county have been earnestly ask- ing for a meeting of such length, and would be glad to attend one every year. The institute fund, however, is so small as to render this impossible. It was therefore determined lust year to hold a short session and so save a part of the funds for the present year. Even with this arrangement they will fall short of meeting such expenses as must necessarily be incurred in con ducting a normal institute as it should be tor such a lengtn or time, incon sequence 1 have concluded to asK tne teachers, and all prospective teachers who may wish to attend as students, to contribute each one dollar towards these expenses. As this is customary in other leading educational counties, ' I feel sure the teachers of Wasco, who have always heretofore shown their hearty co-operation in institute work, will gladly respond. President Campbell of the Monmouth Normal School and Prof. Gavin of The Dalles public school will be Instructors. Instruction will be given in all branches on which examination is had for county certificates, and in mostof those for state certificates. Special in struction in methods of teaching will be given for the benefit of young teach ers who have never received any nor mal training. The usual entertain ments of lectures, music and other ex ercises will be held several evenings. Good board can be had in The Dalles cheaper than ever. Make your ar rangements so that, if possible, you will not miss a day for every day wid count. Remember, you cannot possi bly keep your place in the rank of teachers nowadays without attending Institutes. It will cost you something to attend, but it will cost you mucn more to be absent. Do not forget to extend a welcome to all your friends to attend all sessions. Bring all your text books and help make this meeting Klgrand success for you and for others. That it will be a success, the past JnstJ tutes of the county stand as a guar antee. Troy Shelley, . . ' School Superintendent. Hood River Apples in Illinois. . - Portland, Dec. 5, 1895. Editor Glacier: .The following Is an extract from a letter written Nov. 27, 3895, by Mr. Louis R. Noble of Mattoon, 111., to Miss Abbie Sprenger of this city, who sent him the apples referred to. The apples were a Gloria Mundi and a Twenty Ounce Pippin which Mr. Geo. Prather- kindly sent me from Hood River, after the fruit fair in October: "I must first tell you of those apples. After showing them to our near neigh bors, I took them to one of the stores, where a glass case was especially pre pared for them. They were duly la beled and described and became at once the center of attraction for many persons, particularly the farmers. On", old gentleman who intended to set out a large orchard thought he would try to procure some of these varieties. I did not tell him that no such apples could be ruised here, as I did not wish to spoil his vision of harvests that would never come. But, Miss Abbie, the time we enjoyed them was when they were finally cut. We had hardly expected that they would be delicious in proportion to their size, but we were most agreeably disappointed.; They were very sweet and mellow. In fact, we have no apples here' that seem to me to at all approach their excellence in flavor. Our best apple is the Brother Jonathan, which is a red apple, about half or two-thirds the diameter of the smaller (red) one that you sent. We do not get much good from Jonathans after Christmas, as they are not good keepers. The great keeper of this coun try is the Ben Davis, which Is a bright red apple, about three inches in diam eter and a taste like a door knob. At any rate, I never was able to get any taste out ot one. xou can give them any flavor that may suit your fancy, from a pineapple to a turnip, by simply putting in some of the particular arti cle with the cooking. , The prime quality of the Ben Davis is that it may be kept for three or four months after all other apples are gone. If one is bruised, it simply dries up at the in jured spot, whereas, any other apple is, trom that time, lost, unless immediate' ly used." Of course, this is nothing new to Hood River folks; but it is hard to have too much of a good thing. Yours for Hood River, J. H Middleton. . - Tucker Items.

Work of the State Union. From a report of fruit shipments made by the Oregon Fruit Union for the past season we take the following Interesting summary: The total number of pounds of green fruit shipped through the Oregon Fruit Union the past season amounted to 2,127,558 pounds; total paid the grow ers, $32,182.25, or an average of lc per pound. ,. Fruit shipments began May 10th, with a crate of strawberries shipped from Milton to Denver. Portland shipped 2,569 crates straw berries, and the total remitted to grow ers amounted to $2,812.10-ran .average of 90c per crate. . Hood River, 1,927 crates; average per crate realized by growers, $1.73 per crate. ' . . Milton shipped 8,925 crates; total re mitted to Eastern Oregon Fruit Grow ers' Union, $3,477.83, or 881c. per crate. The Dalles shipped 875crates,netting the growers an average of $1.69 per crate. -' Total strawberries shipped, 8,769 crates, or 11 carloads. Hood River and The Dalles berries, which are the Clarke Seedling variety, are the most excellent quality and fine shippers, and the good piees realized by the Hood River growers is owing, also, to the great care taken in prepar ing the berries for shipment. The Portland berries are Triumphs and Sharpless varieties, the Triumphs being the better shippers. The Milton berries are mostly Sharpless variety. Tbe difference in price realized by the Hood River and Milton berries proves the superiority of the Clarke Retelling as a shipper, and also the need of more care in packing and shipping. Had Milton growers taken the same care as the Hood River growers, far better results would have been ob tained. Strawberries were shipped to Mon tana, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, and a considerable quantity to Omaha. . ot cnernes, z.ouo boxes were shipped, averaging the grower 40c. per 10-pound box. -Black Republican . proved to be the better shipper for long distance. .Eight cars, containing 7,057 crates,or 141,140 pounds of peach plums, were shipped, netting to the growers $951.61, or six-tenths per pound. Two of the cars were from Douglas county, the balance from The Dalles. Tbe sale of only three cars were satisfactory to the union or growers, but the sales of these is evidence tbat, though the peach plum is a tender fruit, it can be shipped to advantage, but it must be handled with great care. The Douglas county Cars did not arrive in as good condition as The Dalles shipments. Tbe total number of prunes shipped were 55,443 crates and 10,822 boxes, or a total of 1,345,500 pounds. The bulk of prunes shipped were Italians, 47,680 crates and 8,970 boxes, or a total of 1, 152,800 pounds. Total amount remitted to growers, $14,787, or a trifle over ljc. net per pound. . Silver prunes; netted $ of a cent.Hun garians 13c, Bradshaw, Yellow Egg, Washington and other varieties of plums and peaches, five-seventh of a cent per pound. A few crates of French or Petite prunes were shipped by growers as an experiment, but they will never pay to ship. Of bears, 7,960 boxes were shipped, mostly Bartletts. Pear shipments were not satisfactory, the net average being 25c. per box of 40 pounds. Where the crates of prunes were full and well packed, the grower was able to realize good prices. While the In experienced pack and handling on the part of a great many caused them to realize considerably less than an aver age of lc. per pound, the union's ship 'tientsof theltalian prune green proved beyond a doubt its excellent qualities as a shipping fruit. The Hungarian prune is vhe most profitable shipper. VVhile not the flavor of eithvr the It Silver prune, yet it pos sesses all the keeping qualities of the Italian, besides being much larger and of more attractive color, which alone sells it, and shipments of Hungarian prunes always pay well. The necessary pains and care is not understood by the generality of the fruit growers. The Eastern receiving houses who find it necessary to use large spriug trucks with rubber tires in handling the Hint ironi tne car to tne sale rooms, would be horrified to know the fruit was hauled at this end five miles in a dead axle wagon. Two Lives Saved. Mrs.Phoebe Thomas of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had con sumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her.and she says it saved ber life. Mr.Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco, sultered from a dreadful cold, approaching con sumption, tried without result every- thingeise, then bought one bottle ot Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are sam ples.that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at Hood River Pharmacy.
