r r" r-V 'T- y r fX Kood Jiver Slacier. FRIDAY, APRIL 3, IS96. Judge L. Henry returned Saturday night from the populist convection at Saleru, which he attended as a dele Kate. The couvention was composed of 800 members. Joseph Gaston was nominated for supreme judge. For congressman in the first district, W. S, Vanderberg of Coos; second district, Martin Quinn of. Portland.' Presiden tial electors Harry Watkins, W. D, Hare, W. H. Spaugh and M. L. Olm- stead. The platform declares for free coinage; favors direct legislation; de mands pro.tet.tion of American labor, the reduction of official salaries to cor respond with the reduction of wageaof labor, the abolition of fish traps and wheels anil the re-enactment of the . mortgage tax law, and favors the es tablishment of the initiative and refer endum. ' ' - ' In about six weeks from this date, unless unusually cool weather in tervenes, strawberries will begin to ripen and the work of picking and shipping to market will commence. There will be plenty of work for large families of halt-grown children during the Bickine season, which lasts for ' about six weeks. Good pickers earn from $1 to $1.60 a day. The Mountaineer learns, that certain people of Dufur have determined to not allow the discussion of questions pertaining to Catholociam or A.P.Aism in their city during the coming cam palgn, hence' Mr. Gourlay will not lec ture in that place as announced, he having been refused the use of a hall Now that the populists in state con vention at Salem have declared for free silver anft protection, if the free-sllver-ites capture the republican convention next week, it will not be hard for the two parties to fuse. The republicans then can endorse the populist platform and nominations and go home. Hon. W. R. Ellis succeeded in getr ting the senate resolution appropriat ing $20,000 for immediate use at the Cascade Locks to pass the house, and when signed by the president this sum will be available for the completion of the locks. Mr. W. H. Butts, who heads the re publican county ticket, should have been satisfied with a nomination lower on the ticket say for sheriff. His many friends would delight to vote for him for the latter office. .The county ticket nominated by the republicans is generally considered a good one. The democrats will nom inate next week, then will come the populists, and we will have three full tickets in the field. Senator Call Wednesday introduced a resolution in the senate proposing the immediate use of a United States naval force t protect Americans in Cuba from atrocities and for humane reasons in general. The wedding of ex-President Harri son and Mrs. Dimmick is announced to take place next Monday, at St. Thomas' church, New York city. During February the arrival of im migrants at New York aggregated 1L, 822. an increase of about 65 per' cent over the arrivals for February, 18QH. , April 1st there was a complete snow blockade on many railroads in Wis consin, with drifts from 10 to 20 feet deep, ' ' ' t Good Advice in Tree Planting. How true is the statement of experi enced men that on .general principles it is not good policy to plant more trees than one can care for properly. A much smaller number managed in the best manner would be a better invest ment than twice or thrice as many which cannot for any reason be well cared for in all respects. To furnish the ground, prepare it for planting, purchase the trees and plant them and by so doing so far exhaust one's resources as not to be able to give them the proper necessary cultivation and fertilizers will only result in failure, or such a moderate degree of success as .to furnish very little profit or satisfac tion. Pacific Farmer. , (iold Production. ' . Mr. L. O. Smith, formerly a mem ber of the Swedish parliament, has sent to the director of the mint a let ter which gives some remarkable fig ures as to the prospective increase in the gold production of the world, deal ing more particularly with its increase from the South African gold fields. Mr. Smith is a student of political economy, and is also regarded as a min ing expert. He says that by the end of the century the production of the mines at Wltwatersraand will amount to $125,000,000 yearly, and that the quantity which can be taken out dur ing the coming fifty years will be $3, 600,000,000, or about as much as the world's stock of gold at the present time. This statement, confirming previous estimates, possesses an unusual degree of importance, as affecting future eco nomic conditions. Some writers on the subject, of more or less note, have de clared that the quantity of gold had been gradually used till the iearth would in a short time yield up no more. ! The argument was based on the theory ! that wherever gold is to be found. there civilization is to be found also, and that the existence of gold was readily discovered, since it. is a treasure for which all men hunt. With this additional Increase in the supply, the question will arise whether or not tlie effect may be to cause silver and gold to come closer to each other in value, and this would most assuredly be the result if silver were to become at all scarce. Whatever be the result, the ! increase of gold production in all parts or tne worm is remarKaoie ana im portant. St. Louis Republic. Republican County Convention. . The republican county convention at The Dalles last Saturday drew a large attendance, and the nominations, ex cept for coroner, were all warmly con tested. J. M. Patterson, chairman of the county central committee, was made temporary chairman and L. N. Blowers of Hood River secretary, and after the reports of the committees, these officers were made the permanent officers of the convention. The con vention declared for M. A. Moody for congress by adopting a motion that the cuair appotut a committee ot lour to confer with Mr. Moody and select the delegates to the district convention. The. chair appointed J. G. Day, M. J. Anderson, M. P. Isenberg and John Grant, who selected as delegates to the district and state conventions the names of J. G. Day, M. T. Nolan, J.M. Patterson, E. L. Smith, F. W. Jones, George Johnston and A. E. Lake. The report being adopted, these men were declared duly elected. In ac cordance with the report of the com mittee on order of business, the nom inations commenced with the office of coroner, and the ticket was completed iu the following order: Coroner, W. H. Butts of The Dalles. Surveyor, J. B. Goit of Tygh. Assessor, W. H. Whipple of Dufur. School Superintendent, C. L. Gilbert ot .The Dalles. Treasurer, C. L. Phillips of The Sheriff, T. J. Driver of Wamic. Clerk, A. M. Kelsay ot The Dalles. - County Judge, Robert Mays of The Dalles. ; , , Commissioner, D. S. Kimsey of An telope. Hood River asked only the nomina tion for county judge, but got nothing, except mat Hon. m. Li. smith waN selected as delegate to the state and district conventions. There were sev eral candidates for county judge. Capt. Blowers kept the lead for the first two ballots, when T. A. Hudson' and Wm. Floyd withdrew their names, leaving Robert Mays and Capt. Blowers in the field. The third and last ballot re sulted: Robert Mays 88, Capt. Blowers 34, Floyd 3, and Mays was declared the nominee. No other Hood River name was placed in nomination forany office, unless we can claim Mr. C. L. Gilbert as a Hood River citizen. Mr. Gilbert received a handsome vote in the couvention and was elected over two competitors on the first ballot. Saturday evening the McKtnley club of The Dulles held a ratification meet ing in the court house, at which M. P. Isenberg and M. A. Cook were called upon to speak. Mr. Cook was intro duced by Chairman Fred Wilson as "Col. Sinnott of Hood River" and gave the audience his speech on the silver question. It was the best speech of the evening. M. P. Isenberg was at his best and made a rousing speech. He pictured the horrors of "free trade" under the present administration and dwelt upon the beauties of protection to come in the next under McKinley in such glowing terms that even dem ocrats In the audience almost forgot for the moment that the manufacturer is protected under the present tariff above the rates afforded him under the war tariffs. But, the best speech we list ened to during our trip to the conven tion as spectator was delivered in the cars Sunday morning to the returning Hood River delegates by Mr. Dick Fisher of M osier. Mr. Fisher seemed to have a large-sized knife for the ticket, from coroner down to congress man. It was his proud boast that during , his voting . career of twen ty yeais he had never scratched a republican ticket. This was the first time we ever attended a republican convention in Wasco county. We found that things went off about the same as when the un terrified democ racy meet in convention at The Dalles. The Umatilla house was the head quarters for the wire-pullers, and the saloon did a rushing business, just the same as when democrats hold forth. Willis Brown's Circular. Hood River, Or., March 31, 1896. Editor Glacier: My attention is called to a circular letter of Willis Brown's, entitled "A few facts for Hood River berry shippers A few comparisons made without fear of suc cessful contradiction." Like most people who undertake to know all about other' people's business, he "knows a great many things which are not true." - As to all the facts concerning the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union and its business, the local growers here are invited to examine all records and files, which are complete, and see for them selves whether my report was correct or not. I have not sufficient cheek to ask space to review Mr. Brown's thir teen misstatements. But I would like to have any one who is foolish enough to believe any of the stuff contained in Mr. Brown's circular to come to. me, and I will attend to this eminent liar as he deserves. Our growers here have had some chance to get acquainted with Mr. Brown's wonderful success as a manager and would-be savior of all the poor, ignorant fruit growers of the iNoruiwest. 1 quote from a letter re- vvi T .

There was a rush at the sheriff's office in The Dalles Tuesday to pay taxes, to prevent them from going de linquent. The receipts were about $12,000. The taxes of the O. R. & N.
