If eod Iiver Slacier. FRIDAY, JULY 31.'' 1896. The populist convention ut St. Louist nominated Wm. J. Bryan for prvsl 'ent and Thomas K. Watson of Geor gia for vice prtsideut. Mr. Bryan said he would refuse the nomination unless Mr. Bewell also was endorsed, but the nomination of Watson was made unan imous. Democrats and populists have fused on Bryan, but each party has a candidate for vice president. We are at a loss to know how they will vote for vice president with two rouididates and one set of electors. . The Pacific Northwest Immigration board, with headquarters at Portland, is making niraiiKeirients to collect a cur load of Oregon products, to form an ex hibit for display at St. Paul during the meeting of the Minnesota state fair unit national encampment of the Grand Army the first week in September,and , nt Minneapolis during the convention and conclave of the Knights of Pythias.

Astoria U making great preparations for the event. Hon. J. Sterling Morton is being boomed by the sound money democrats , of Nebraska for the nomination for president. There is no show for the flection of a sound money democrat, much less for one who parts his name in the middle. The supreme court of Oregon has de cided that the land of a homesteader is exempt from liability for all debts con tracted prior to the actual issuiiiK of the patent by the government, whether contracted before or after the date of final proof. The Eastern Oregon papers that are showing up Bryan's free-trade-in-wool record are making votes for the demo p ipulist candidates. We are not all in the wool business; some of us are con sumers.

A newspaper in La Grande recently said: "The prettiest girl in this city does not carry herself straight enough when promenading." For a week af terwards all the young ladies of the town walked about like so many bean poles, and every girl said: "That hor rid old paper! Ma, don't I walk straight?" Welcome. .' It is stated that Senator Mitchell is coming home in a couple of weeks to take an active part in the campaign, and will stump the state for McKiuley. The fellow who put this report in cir culation evidently has not turned a cathode rayon Mitchell's brain, or be wouldn't have made such a statement. Mitchell will not jeopardize his chances of elect ion by taking part one way or the other in the campaign. Mountaineer. Old fishermen believe that the salmon , which ascend the river never go back. As evidences of their belief they say that none are ever caught in their nets from the upper side; and that ln'clear streams like the Rogue river, where they are always seen to be swimming up stream, never down. That they swim deep is evidenced by the fact that they are sometimes caught on sturgeon hooks, 800V feet beneath the surface.

In a recent scientific publication ap-s peared a paragraph which states that by treating ordinary cow's milk, add- ing to it alum and sulphate of iron (cooperasl, then subjecting the mix ture to pressure and baking, a substance maybe obtuined which, for all prac tical purposes, will pass for ivory. One of our populist friends spelled out this paragraph, the other day, and immedi ately conceived an idea. After pro tracted labor he was delivered of the following: Say, John, I've bin a thtnktn' an' I've got a new idee . , On t his question of monometal and blmetallty; It seems the politicians on gold or stiver can't agree, So what's the matter o' makln' money out o1 Ivory? But Ivory, you are sayln', Is mighty hard to find; Yes, I know, if you're thlnkln' o" the old fashioned kind; Bat last night we was a readin' in the paper, don't ye mind, ) That we f irmers can make Ivory whenever we feel Inclined. You've only get to take a quart o' milk or so, An' heat It till IU 'bout as thick as ordinary dough; An' mix it with some alum and some cop peras, don't ye know, ' - An' when ye've got it baked an' pressed, yer Ivory's dune, by Joe! Now, let Cleveland take a chip and paint his picture on one side, On the other the screamin' eagle, with his feet securely tied, ' : An' print on it "one dollar" with its trust in God relied. An' ye've got the purtlest cheap money that's ever et been tried. ' , Say, John, I'm a thlnkln' this here's a grand idee, An' if they'll send "me down to Washington I'll make the people see That if they can have two moneys, they can Just as well have three, An' the cheapest kind o' money's thiB Dew fangled Ivory. Why, John, yon and I 'ud buy us a new hat; We'd wear a stan' up collar an' a blue an. white kervat; "' We'd strut around like city folks, are ye real- izin' that? For money'd be a plenty 8' long 's we'd keep old '-Brindle" fat."' An' mother, she should hev a bran new silk dress, ' An' we'd buy a parlor organ for little sister Bess; We'd move off from the plantation and into town, I guess, , For our supply o' money 'ud be simply co . pious. Then what's the useo'kcepln'up this infernal row, With the banks around us bustin', half of 'em busted now. Why not make a lot o' money out o' Ivory, anyhow. Since It's to be had in plenty by simply milkln' of the cow? Yes, the more I keep a thlnkln' about the bimetallty, The more beautiful and practical the idea -seems to be. If we can have two moneys, we can Just as well have three, An' the cheapest kind o' money's this new fangled ivory. " The Original Bryan Man. The original Bryan man lives at Lamed, Kansas. Dr. 8. F. Mercer was a. practising physician at Salem, III., and was the attending physician when Win. J. Bryan was born. He says the boy came into the world howling and kicking, and that he has kept it up ever since. Dr. Mercer is a republican, but under the circumstances thinks he will vote for the young man. C. R. Swan, a druggist of Hutchin son, Kan., lived in Jacksonville, III., when William J. Bryan attended school at that place. Miss Carrie E. Curtis whs also attending school there and living with an uncleJ Bryan and Swan were herardent admirers. Brvan was the favorite with her uncle, byit Miss Curtis could not be easily per suaded. She fell in love with the drug slerk and. soon became Mrs. Swan, much to the chagrin of young Bryan. Swan says he knocked Bryan out In that little love affair and will assist in doing it again in November. ' Political Superstitions. It is generally the case that no sooner is a candidate nominated for the pres idency than the hunt is at once begun for omens, good or bad, to suit the feel ingsor prejudices of the one who is in search of them. The fact that some admirer of Mr. McKiuley had called him "the Napoleon of American pol itics" made the fact that he was nom inated at Nt. Louis cn the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo a strikingly significant one.' Indeed, manv smier- stiiious persons who are warmly inl favor of that gentleman's election shiver as, they have tried to convince themselves that there was "nothing in it." But, on the other hand, there is a bad omen hanging over Mr. Bryan. He was nominated on Friday, which, tvithont the least warrant lor it, has become known the world over as the most unlucky day in the calendar. Chicago News. , Marvelous Results. ; .

Better than Gold or Silver. Hood River, July 29, 1890. Editor Glacier: As your readers do not avail themselves of your generous offer to discuss financial questions in the col- Umns of the Glacier, I wish to use a little space to present a few facts and thoughts in regard to the equitable and economical distribution of a sub stance of far more intrinsic value than gold and silver, viz: Water. If all the gold and silver in the world should at once distippear, no appalling calamity would follow; businefS would snon ad just itself to the new conditions, with possibly a diminution of the burdens now borne by the toidmr masses. . When I came to Hood River, in the fall of 1894, 1 had a fair newspaper knowledge of its resources, but when I had a realizing sense of its sublime scenery, its magnificent snow-clad mountains, its noble river, i:s fruitful soil, its UHtural under drainage, its pure and bracing air, its comparative ex emption from itisect pests, its remark able adaptation to the production of fruits of superior excellence, and last, but not least, an abundant and appa rently inexhaustible supply of the purest and best of Water, of which nothing but the selfishness or stupidity of man could deprive its citizens, 1 at once determined that my farmer boy should share and work for success with the citizens amidst the manifold ad vantages of Hood River valley. When I looked upon the commodious and convenient school house, the number and neatness of the churches, I in ferred, as I had a right to infer, that an intelligent and law-abiding people most assuredly provided them. Well, I bought, built, cleared and cultivated. Everything was lovely, everyliody cor dial, "property perfectly safe; even the young people seemed devoid of any de sire to cut up any harmful mischief; hut when we bought water, oh! then a change came over the ppirit of our dreams. Our gauuer did not get around, and supposing, in our ignor ance or innocence, or both, that the purpose of a gauge was to measure water conveniently and economically, we made one; it cost six cents and worked perfectly. Finding it cheaper to make gauges than to dig channels, we made three more. Cost for the four, about 35 cents; could measure from one-half inch" up to twenty inches and on either or both sides of the ditch. They are at my place, sub ject to the inspection of ali interested. By and by the ganger came around; said such gauges would never do af forded facilities for stealing water. Why, Mr. Ganger, this water costs me only 10 cents a day. Who do you sup pose would steal water for a day or fraction thereof at such a price? 'Ob! its not. the value of the water but the crop the water will produce; that is the temptation. Then golden visions of lucrative crops danced before my eyes, and in my gratitude at such nrospe'ets, declared that anybody would be will ing to pay another 10 cents a day for double the amount of water and double the crops again. He downed me, though, declaring that almost every body up and down were accused of stealing water; he had iieen accused himself. To say I was surprised was to put it mildly. I had brought, my boy into a den of thieves and lived here six months without a loss or a suspicion. He took my gauges out, put an official gauge in, and then my surprise became astonishment. It cost a dollar! At least that is what I paid for an extra one. It was gotten up in violation of all laws which govern the handling of water, and strange to say, afforded peculiar facilities for stealing. In addition' to openly obstructing the main channel, one need only to nail a piece of board in the bottom of the main channel; when hidden from the eyes of man it performs within certain limits its nefarious work. Mr. Editor, I have diligently Inves tigated these stealing stories. There may be a black sheep or' two in the valley and quite a flock of careless ones. This carelessness, exaggerated by the malice of personnl disputes, is the sum and substance of these stories, and on these are based the rules of our little lateral ditch company, that waste time and money, kill enterprisedeaden am bition and try patience. For instance, a gentleman living in town has an acre out of town, would buy an inch of water, let a four-inch man have it'all the week except one day, when he would go "out and apply it. Set an ambitious boy to work irrigating a field of dry dust with five inches of water reduced to three and a half by the offi cial gage, and you will have occasion to wonder before night where he has gone; whereas, cut the ditch and give him twenty inches, as we were enabled to do by the kindness of our neighbors, and he will work thirty-six hours with out sleep or rest. Its excrutiating to see a 200-pound man toiling puttering, rather and patiently trying to coax a tiny stieam of two inches, reduced as above, down aj long channel. As it stands now, we can remedy none of inese ining- without violating the rufes of the powers that control our Lateral Ditch Co., I he statutes of Oregon and the moral law. i Messrs. Armor and Isenberg Inform me that in their neighborhood they have divided water on time for two years and that the system works nicely; Mr. Armor stating that he can secure better results with three inches than he could with five inches under then old plan. Our one experiment demon strates we can save three-quarters of me moor aua secure mucn better re suits. 4 Gentlemen of the Lateral company, over which Mr. Luckey presides, ft is a condition, not a theory, that confronts you. I understand your annual elec tion of officers is at hand. It is on you the responsibility rests to sav whether the present waste of water, time, crops, money and patience shall continue for another season. A little thought will assure you that the plan of our neigh bors mentioned is a sensible one. Im prove on it if you can, and demonstrate that all corporations, little and big, can manage civilized communities bet ter through their honor and intelli gence than through fear and Ignorance. John C. Wheeler. No Use for Horses. A farmer who cotildn't pay his taxes wrote to President Cleveland, telling him how sorry he was, but the only property he had was some horses. If the president could assist him in the side of. the horses he would be grateful and only too jlad to tu.n over the D'o- Iceec'son the tax account. . The story goes that the president replied that at this progressive day the business of the country was being done by bicycles; the railroads were operated by electric ity, and the government is being run by jackasses, "so that, my dear sir, we have not much use fpr horses." Electric Bitters. Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed when the languid, ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggisfi and the need of a tonic und alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion.constipat ion, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. Fifty cents and one dollar a bottle at Hood River Pharmacy $1C a Month Will buy a house and two lots in Hood River.
