Miss Graham will open a select school for the benefit of those who wish to at tend during the winter. There will be classes in both common and high school studies.

Bateham in regard to the course of lectures on dairying and horticulture, to be given at the Agricultural College this winter, says: "We are., hoping to have a goodly number of practical fruit -. growers here to take the work and are bending every effort to make the course such that it will be of value to any one who may come." Though the Twice-a-Week Republic of St. Louis excelled all ot her Western weekly papers in publishing the news ' of the campaign, it now announces that it has extended its newsservice, and hereafter it will give its readers the best paper in the country. This means much, because the next twelve months will be crowded with news of big events. With ail the improve ments to its service the yearly subscrip tion will be the same one dollar a year by mail, twice a week. v During a deep snow; like the present, it is worth 'considerable to live on a weli traveled county road. There is a tract of land lying between the Mount Hood stage road and Hood river, on ; which reside a dozen families between I Indian creek and. John Parker's, who either have no road out or else have had to buy a private right of way out to the stag road. It seems as if it was about time for these people to unite and get a road through this part of the valley; cross Indian creek north of Dr. Eliot's place and connect with Park hurst avenue. This would greatly en "hance the value of this property, and it is only a question of time before it will have to be done.J Sowrites a correspondent.

To the subscriber raising the biggest pumpkin in weight next year from this seed we will give one year's subscription to the glacier: provided the pumpkin weighs above 60 pounds. The poor old mule that wandered about the streets during the late storm, without shelter and food, finally got down in a ravine near the railroad bridge, where he lay helpless. Some of our generous and humane citizens, when they learned ot his condition, made up a purse and employed an In dian to shoot him and drug him away. This mule was an old timer and known to have been in the valley 30 yearsago; how much longer no one knows. The old mule deserved a better fa'e and a better obituary than he gets this time; but if any one who is familiar with his history wishes to give him a fitting .. ...... r seuu uu, uui columns arc open. a i ne snow storm last vionaay diock aded the trains on the O.

' ' Mount Hood Tinklings. The beautifiul white snow has been with us since Nov. 16th and is with us now to the depth of two feet.

At the appointed hourseveral of the Mount tioud sports were on hand. Paul's ducks bad nut hatched, at least they did not show -up, so Father Knox kindly offered to put up some chickens the boys had come for game and wanted it. Bob Leas u re came off best man, having won three roosters. We suspicioned it was Daddy Knox's chickens, as Bob has done lots of crowing since Thanksgiving.
