reason that the water shed of .the east
fork is the range of high, almost barren
hills, which bound the valley on the
east. Formerly these hills were com

have denuded the bills of this protee

D. Langille,
C. L. Morse Has His "Say."
IIood River, Or., Nov. 30, 1800.
Editor Glacier: As I am one of your
delinquent subscribers, as I believ
"Felix Fax" to be, I take the liberty
ot making a few remarks upon the ar
ticle, "The Smashed Slate." . Now, if
the columns of . the Glacier are
open to such articles as mentioned,
certainly am entitled to my say.
The first man on the list of "Felix
Fax's"' would-be sarcasm is Senator
Butler of North Carolina. Now, the
. only crime that can b laid at his door
i iiiui, iie is me youngest memoer oi
the United States senate. General
' Coxey uays his own bills. The would'
lu brilliant light jumps at ex-Gov
Wuite. if he would take the trouble
to look back at the record made by
.Gov. Waite's administration, he would
find that while he wus governor he en
lorced the laws at Deliver, closed the
gambling houses and kept them closed
until McEutiie, republican, was elect'
ed, when they were opened as soon as
he took his chair, and have been run
-iiing.iufu.il blast ever since. The no
ble republican delivered the goods he
paid the men that elected him. Next
comes Senator Tillman, the only rep
resentative the farmers hnvn In the
United States senate. All republicans
were giving him praise until their
purty ut St. Louis indorsed Cleveland's
policy, and they could not stay with
Tilimun and Clevelaud both, so they
thook Tillman. No man ever read the
works of Henry George aud'spoke
Jightly of the author. Gov. Altgeld
curried far more than his party vote in
the late election, Penuoyer has beeu
twice elected governor of this state, and
last June was elected mayor of Port
land, and is not dead yet; neither will
the ridicule of the republicans kill him
Ex-Gov. Llewellyn of Kansas comes
next. The state has just held au elec
tion, and after trying two years more
of republican rule, have gone back to
the populists, bag and. baggage. Debs'
crime was such that they were afraid
to give him a jury trial, so they sent
him to prison any way all the sume
Russia. R. P. Bland has always been
a silver man, and the state of Missouri
nus no suver mines, l once saw a
novel about the Clan ua Gael, but did
not read it, so know nothing about
Patrick O'Flaherty. Mrs. Lease comes
next in the list of those the noble
"Felix Fax" would hold up to ridicule;
she being a woman, with tome aspira
tions to vole, and the writer knowing
that if women ever do vote, they can
not all be forced to vote the republican
ticket, and can not be handled as the
republicans handle the negro and the
Indian vote. Hood River is a fair il
lustration of how they vote the latter
and who votes them For my part I
am anxious to see the day when the
women of this country will have equal
rights, mother with son, wife with
husband. J, for one, am ready to ad
mit their superiority, Gorman staid
with his party. Hill's aotion was an
improvement upon Senator Mitchell's
ernor sent them relief, and here is the
message he sent to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad officials: "That the con
duct of the commonweal was as com
mendable as the action of the railroad
officials was damnable; that there was
nothing in the annals of history as
barbarous as their action in seeking to
drive starving men into violatlou of
the law that they might have the
pleasure of punishing them for it; that
he had directed the officers of the law
that if these men committed depreda
tions he would teach the autocratic,
impertinent superintendent and other
officials of that road lessons they never
would forget, one of which would be
the revocation of the churter of the
road." And for this the republicans
can see no good In Gov. Hogg, as their
policy would have been to have left
the men there until they broke open
the cars, and then have sent them to
prison. Senator Stewart comes next
As he left the g. o. p. several years ago,
and that being his only mistake, we
will not try to rectify it. But now I
am stuck In a tender spot ex-Gov. St.
John of Kansas. A man I voted for
in a state 60,000 republican; but they
did not think they could stand any
more of his temperance views, as 'he
had "driven capital from the state and
ruined her industries," so they voted
for a beer-guzzling democrat. But the
reforms he brought about in Kansas
are there to stay, just the same, and
also the reforms brought about by ex
Gov. Llewelleu and the populists, as I
have stated above. The people have
returned, too, and are the same people
that staid with St. John, in placing
prohibition on the statute books of
Kansas.
As this covers the list that "Felix
Fax" has turned his wit upon, I will
close with a few remarks of my own.
Only one republican J. W. Morton
has ever written over his own signa
ture. And 1 would say tbey were
ashamed of their own work, or had not
the moral courage to father their own
productions. And now, Mr. Editor,, if
you will publish this, I promise you I
will never ask your indulgence again
to answer any such rot. Respectfully,
C. L. Morse.

According to the report of Secretary
Francis, the total amount paid by the
government on pensions and cost of
distributing the same, for the last 31
years, is $2,034,817,769. The present
number of pensioners, which is 970,678,
is greater by 4,666 thau in 1893, when
the maximum anuual cost was reached,
and is greater than ever before. This
is due to the death of old soldiers and
the continued payment of allowances
to their heirs, while the amount paid
is decreased through the death of in
valid pensioners leaving no dependents.
It is said that Hon. E. L. Smith, the
staunch and able republican of Hood
River, stands an excellent show to re
ceive the. appointment of internal rev
enue collector for this district under
McKlnley's administration. Mr.Smith,
for the active and effective work he has
always done in bebalf of the republican
party and, its principles, and more es
pecially his admirable services in the
recent campaign, is surely entitled to
favorable recognition, and we trust he
will receive the appointment. Ante

The Scientific American gives the
following simple remedy for diphtheria:
"At the first indication of diphtheria
in the throat of a child, make the room
close; then take a tin cup aud pour into
it au equal quantity of tar and tur
pentine; then hold the cup over the
fire, so as to fill the room with the
fumes. The patient, in inhaling the
fumes, will cough and spit up the mem
braneous matter, and the diphtheria
will pass off. The fumes of the tar and
turpentine , lessen the trouble in the
throat and thus afford the relief that
has baffled the skill of physicians."
The loss to the farmers in the eastern
part of Multnomah county will be con
siderable, this being the second time
this yeur they have had their crops de
stroyed. . The late frost in the spring
practically ruined the fruit crop. That
worked a hardship on a lot of farmers
who were in the habit of making quite
large amount of money from their
berry patches and fruit trees, but this
unusually severe weather now proves a,
greater loss to them. The farmers in
this vicinity grow large quantities of
potatoes. The wet weather of a month
ago delayed fhe digging, but few of the
farmers having dug their, entire crop,
wtiile the majority ot others had not
harvested any of their crop of potatoes.
The entire undug potato crop is de
stroyed, owing to the keavy frost the
past week. The cold was so intense
that potatoes froze' in the cellars, and
chickens were found frozeu to death in
barns. Some of the farmers will lose
as much as 1,500 sacks of potatoes,
while comparatively few will be able to
say that they sustained no loss what

In the early days of Hood River, he
was used as a pack mule, and no hunt

He would patiently accompany his
master to the mountains, and, with a
deer or bear strapped on his faithful

nothing in it for the officers. -
Langille saw the mule, he noted his
patient bearing, his gray hairs, hiscrip

and shivering body, and his big heart
was moved to pity. He made requests
in words that the voiceless mule could

that the mule be impounded. The
marshal examined the mule and re
fused to take him. He wasn't worth

city recorder, the recorder could do
nothing, and then Jim went to the
bam and purchased an armful of hay
for him. Theu Jim tackled the mayor,
he of course had nothing 'to do with
