3ced Jiver Glacier. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1S95. Tuesday, the president sent his mes sage to congress transmitting the cor respondence between Secretary Olney und Lord Salisbury on the, Venezuelan question. As has been known for Borne time, the British premier holds that England has nothing to arbitrate in the matter. The president vigor ously upholds the Monroe doctrine and recommends that a. commission be authorized by congress to proceed at once to Venezuela and investigate the boundary dispute. There is no doubt about congress upholding the president in his defense of the Monroe doctrine, and if the commission finds in favor of Venezuela, war between the United States aud England will be the result, unless the latter backs down and agrees to arbitrate. It will be a great pity if the two great English speaking peoples of the world must go to war South America claimed by a couple of million half-civilized half-breeds, but, in the patriotic language of Grover Cleveland, "there is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows supine submission to wrong and injustice and the conse quent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which is shielded and defended the people's safety and great ness." ', In the event of war with England, awhile in the capture of our Atlantic - sea coast cities, but in the end, if the war had to continue for ten years, he would win. The seaport cities might fall a prey to the British warships and , be made to pay heavy tribute, but in th meantime our armies would march into and take possession , of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and When the war ended Great Britain would never have any more boundary disputes in either JNortn or boucn A morion Where is our Hood Kiver militia? Did they smell the battle afar off when : they allowed the company to be dis banded? We will be in a bad fix, In case of war,- without our militia, once the pride of the valley. But, for tunately, the Cascade locks are not complete, and it will be impossible for British gunboats to reach us. The Monroe Doctaine. The Monroe doctrine grew out of the successful revolt of Mexico and others of the Spanish American Republics of Central and South America against the sovereignty ot spam, une govern ments instituted by the people of those countries after their independence had been recognized were necessarily weak und in constant danger of resubjuga tion. The holy alliance of Europe, em bracing all the powers which had com bined against and overthrown Napo leon Bonaparte, seriously contem-, plated . extending its operations to the New World and re-establishing, by force of arms, European control of the country. This design was largely in Mpired by the house of Braganza, reign ing in ''Portugal and over that great section of South America then aild now known as Brazil. The Braganzas feared the influence of republicanism surrounding them on the western con tinent, and the holy alliance feared the growth everywhere of that republican -lulu which if, had been at so much cost. of blood, and treasure to suppress in ' France. " . In this emergency the Monroe doc trine was declared. , It was evidently intended to be as much an assertion of our own interest as of the interest of any other people. The monarchial governments of Europe were advised that any effort to "extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere" would be regarded as ."dangerous to our peace and safety" and, being so, would provoke our resistance. It was certainly understood, by the men re sponsible for this declaration, that in the face of it no government would at tempt encroachments upon any Amer ican power without first clouding the question by every means familiar to trained diplomacy. Arbitration must have been contemplated by them as a necessary means of settling many vexed questions, but it is impossible to believe that they contemplated the possibility of European arbitration of any such questions. It was the logic of their position that in all such cases, involving, as they declared, the right and interest of the United States, this country must be the final arbiter, and not any one or more of the European governments banded together for pur poses of mutual conquest and dominion. This conclusion is unavoidable when their attitude is considered in the light of their specific declarations and of the conditions of international comity then existing. As final arbiter of all ques tions arising under construction of the limitations they had declared, the United States would be in position to maintain their own security and that of the weaker republics, without war. Of course. " ninth n. rmsitmn wiiu in ef fect, a declaration of the dictatorship of the United Stdtes on this continent, but that is what the Monroe doctrine within its limits was, and hns always been undentood to be, whether the j dictatorship shall find expression in the council or the field. St. Louis Re public. - ' . The Fruit Convention at Walla TVnlla. From .the Klickitat Agriculturist's report of the meeting we make the fol lowing extracts: - C. A. Tonneson of Tacoma addressed the meeting, who said: "To be a suc cessful fruit grower, spraying and other means of preventing the attack of fruit pests must be employed from the stage of first planting the tree. More than this, the work must begin in the nur sery, vvitn tue great possibilities De- fore the fruit growers of the Pacific northwest, we cannot be too particular about guarding against the introduc tion of infected plants, trees, fruit or any material in connection therewith from outside sections. When first planting the orchard we are slow to realize and thoroughly understand that in this mild climate of even tem perature, which is so favorable, for fruit culture, insects and fungus diseases may cause serious losses unless pre ventive measures are constantly being used to keep them in check, for condi tions specially favorable for fruit are also favorable for insect life.. The work of combating fruit pests should be done intelligently. . It is not necessary that fruit growers should learn the scientific names of the insect species, but certain general classifications should be under stood in order to determine their feed ing habits, so that the proper remedies may be applied." Prof. Balmer of the Pullman agri cultural college talked on the "Success ful Methods of Propagating and Plant ing Fruit Trfees." He held that bud ding, was preferable to grafting, and that grafting to a piece was better than grafting the. whole root. He stated that the grafting of one variety of any species of fruit upon another would not result in the fruit on the grafted limb haviusr more than one flavor. One delegate contended that he had known one apple to have as many as three flavors. This delegate thought that the pollen from a Spitzenberg apple tree, for instance, would impregnate a Yellow Newtown Pippin with its own peculiar flavor, and that the result might be two flavors in one apple. The speaker did not think this view was established by good authority, but that it was still an open question. The Art of Pruning. ' The art of pruning fruit trees in Cal ifornia, as practiced by many of the best orchardists, may be1 described as follows: After planting one-year-old trees from bud or graft, they cut them back to within 18 to 24 inches of the ground. The young tree is allowed to make all the growth possible the first season; next, all shoots that have made a growth of over a foot are cut back to a foot or thereabouts. The next sum mer the growth is again forced, cutting back the shoots the following spring from one-half to two-thirds, leaving the upper shoots the longest and cut ting back the side shoots and lower ones more, thus beginning to shape the head of the tree i n the form of a goblet The third, fourth and fifth winters the pruning and shaping are on the same general plan, except that at and after the third pruningaportion of the twigs on the outside of the head of the tree (in cases where two or more shoots have started from the end of a shoot where cut the year before) should be cut smoothly out. - And then the proper pruning remains about the same during the life of the orchard. . And, as Downing says and proves, the or chard may be kept , in perfect health, vigor and fruitfulness for an indeflte period of time by pruning back from above downwards. ; Beginners should not only study the systems of pruning given by Downing, Wickson and others, but should care fully study the practices of the most successful fruit growers in the neigh borhood. No cast-Iron rule can be given, for much depends upon local conditions which are so exceedingly varied that successful practice in one place may not serve in another com paratively near by. California Fruit Grower. ' '" County Institute Postponed. Hood River, Dec. 15, 1895. Editor Glacier: Our county institute, notice of which was kindly given in your last week's issue, must necessarily be in definitely postponed. The state asso ciation has been changed to fall on the same date. I suppose no one is to blame, but in justice to myself I would like to make the following statement: ' When planning for the time of our meeting, I bad no thought that a state association would be held this winter, as one had been held last July, and it has been customary to hold but one each year. To make sure, however, 1 wrote the state superintendent, who in reply, Nov. 30th, gave me the first news of the state meeting, fixing the date Dec. 26th, 27th and 28th, a week before ours. It was, however, an un fortunate date, as one can see, and was changed to Jan. 1st, 2d and 3d, the same time ours was to be held. It is, of course, unwise to attempt to hold both at the same time, and moreover, President Campbell is compelled to at tend the state meeting. Troy Shei-iet, . School Superintendent.

Camp bell's house caught fire from his fire place, but the blaze was soon extin guished without damage. - Early Thursday morning fire was discovered in the roof of Scott Boorman's house, and with the prompt application of water the fire was put out. The fire caught from a stove pipe projecting through the roof, the top of which-had blown off during the night. Friday morning a blaze was discovered on Tom Wickens' house, but Mr. Wickens and Mr. Campbell happened to be near by and put it out. It also caught from a stove pipe passing through the roof. Mr. aud Mrs. R. J. Ellis and Burns Jones and wife left Thursday for a visit with relatives in Portland. The Belmont Juvenile Temple gave an open meeting Monday evening. The entertainment was greatly en joyed by those. present The Frankton boys received a chal lenge from the Barrett base-ball nine to play a nine-inning game at Belmont Saturday afternoon, but owing to the rain, the game had to be postponed. ' Work at the planer at Hay lies' Spur has been stopped for the winter. -. J. J. Luekey has purchased a grub bing machine from R. Rand & Son, which be thinks is just the thing for oak grubs.

Heald: Your determination to remove to an Eastern state has re cently been announced. You have, during your several years' residence in Hood River, both created and catered to the musical life of the place. Many have received direct benefits in the way of instruction, and all have been inspired by your efforts. . As a token of appreciation of your charming accomplishments and cheer fully given services, your many friends wish to lender you a testimonial con cert.

I Mks. C. P. Heald. East Hood River Items. , The show business was all the go on the East Side a couple of weeks ago. The show, a magic lantern exhibition of the poorest quality, was free. But the poor suffering and tired lookers-on were kindly asked, after part of the show had been given, with a promise of much more to follow, to vote for the ugliest man and the most popular lady in the house at 5 and 10 cents a vote. It is needless to add that suckers are too scarce in Hood River for a concern of this stripe to succeed. The Columbian Educational club is holding regular meetings now, and a most Interesting time is reported. The old time debating society, when prop erly managed, is a great help to those taking part. The Pine Grove people have found the secret to good order by allowing none but members to attend these meetings. It looks a little suspicious to see so many of our young bachelors either building or repairing. Among them we might mention Henry, Fred and John. "A hint to the wise is suffi cient." Boys, get your tin cans ready. There was a small runaway at Hans Lage's place last Friday. A man driv ing E. L. Smith's team was loading a hog on the wagon when the horses took fright and ran away; They were overtaken aud stopped without serious damage. . '" ' ' ''"'' It May Do as Much for You.
