Ex-Seriator Peffer, who has taken editorial control of a populist paper in Kansas, bhvb that it will continue to advocate that party's principles, but "along conservative lines," as he has learned that this world is too big for men to recreate it. The more we learn of the attitude of President McKlnley and Secretary Sherman toward Cuba and Hawaii the more certain it seems that the jingoes will be disappointed und "hat the foreign policy of Cleveland and Olney will be adhered to in those , instances. -Chicago Chronicle.

He thinks the reserve will be cut down and that permits to use it for pasturage will be granted.

Before that there stretched a praciially unin terrupted public service by the Stock ton family for 150 years. The Wasco News says the sheep men ought not to kick at the ruling of the commissioners of Klickitat county, Wash., compelling the quarantining of Oregon sheep 60 days before permitting them to be brought Into the county.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting Hood River, and it wasa pleas ure indeed. The day was perfect, and a perfect day in Hood River is as near the first day in Paradise as is ever vouched to man. The big oaks were in bloom, with the leaves like "squir rels ears;" the ground Was carpeted with flowers; the air fragrant with the bloom of orchards; and a dri ve over tw beautiful roads was simply a dlight. After being away from the valley a few months, one can hardly realize that the change is not due to some in fluence outside of humanity. Where a few nionthsyigo were the little black pines, are pretty homes, strawberry rift, plenty, The fruit trees ' patches, th are not damaged, as 'was feared last fall, though some have beeti killed, and everywhere is a mass of bloom and fragrance. Last year about 11,000 crates of strawberries were shipped, bringing to the growers about $2 net per case. This year it is expected that 30,000 crates will be shipped, and that, the prices will not fall off, or in other "words, that nearly $60,000 will be realized from that crop alone. Tbe profit from one acre of strawberries is equal to that from 160 acres of wheat, and when one considers that a good crop of apples is better than that from the berries, and that the Hood River valley Is practi cally eighteen miles by twelve, and that its product in money equals. 160 times that area in wheat, one can begin to get an Idea of the future of our neighboring town. We venture the assertion that inside of five years Hood River fruit will yield more in the shape of money than all the wheat of the county, and in side of ten years that part of the coun ty alone will bring in more money than is now received by Wasco county for its wool and wheat. Just now it is the most beautiful place iti Oregon, and therefore in the woi'ld;., and if you don't believe it, go and see.

The board of trustees of the soldiers' home at Roseburg lately adopted rules which confiscate all the pension above $4 a month of the inmates who have no dependent relatives. Those having dependent relatives are required to sur render all of their pension above $4 a month far the benefit of their depend ent relatives. It maybe all right for those having dependent relatives to be forced to surrender a portion of their pension money for their benefit if they are not willing to. do so voluntarily. When a pension is granted it is in tended as much for the benefit of de pendents as of the old soldiers them selves. But it seems to us tbe board of trustees of a soldiers' home have no right to make a ruling that would be questioned if made by tbe legislature of the state. Reno post, G. A. R., 'of Roseburg, at a meeting April 15th, adopted the following resolutions with out a dissenting voice: Whereas, At the lat meeting f the board of trustees of the Oregon soldiers' home the following rules were adopted, to wit: . . Rule IS. Any pecsori admitted to the home shall surrender all tils pension to the com mandant, and If the person so mil-rendering his pension has dependent relations, the money so surrendered shall be paid to such dependent relations by the commandant, ex ceptlng'the sum of four dollars per month; and in case such person has no dependent re lations, the excess of Ills pension over and above th' sum of four dollars per month shall be credited by the commandant to a fund for the support of the home, and shall be used for that purpose only. 4 Hale 14 of regulations on page 11 of the by laws shall read as follows: In all cases where improper use is made of such allowance of pension money as provided for In rule 13 of by-laws, leading to misconduct, or infractions of the rules of the home, the allowance so granted shall be withheld by the command ant. ' Whereas, in our opinion, they con flict wiih Sec. 4745, Revised Statues of the U? 8., which is printed on the back of every pension certificate; and Whereas these two rules force the old veterans to assume three attitudes, all of which we denounce as unjust , and unpatriotic; First, By requiring them' to surren der their pensions, they ate1 made to re nounce their property rights (ruaraii teed to them by Sec. 4745, Revised Statues), thus forcing them to assume the attitude of county paupers. , Second, Rule 14 forci s them to sub mit to civil penalty without legal pro Cess. See Amendment to the Cons 1 tutiou, Article 5. ' Third, The allowance clause reduces the old soldier to the defective cl isses, and we object; therefore, be it resolved, '1 hat Rtno post No. 29, lept of Oregon, G. A. R, enters its ind guant protest against these iniquitous rules adopted by tbe board of trustees of the old sol diers' home. Resolved, That we resent this degra dation of the veteran soldier to the rank of the defective classes, and we hurl back the insult with supreme con tempt and bitterly denounce both rules referred to, or any rule-that may hereafter be made, that will deprive an old soldier of bis pension or a part thereof, claiming that no man or set of men have any rijrhl either moral or le. gal to ihus humiliate any portion of the brave men who made it possible for this nation to exist; and we, a por tion of the men who carried Old Glory to victory, do utterly abhor any such contemptible and audacious rules or any person who will in any manner seek to deprive any one of such men of any comfort which is being furnish ed to him by our government accord ing to t he federal law, and which is only the fulfillment of one of tbe many promises made to us by these United States when we were enlisted. Resolved, That we call on all Grand Army posts in this department to join us in our endeavors to have these ob noxious, illegal, despotic, ' tyrannical rules abrogated by adopting similar resolutions and forwarding a copy of them to the governor of the state and to each member of the said board of trustees of the Oregon soldiers' home with an earnest request for thei realm! ingofsald rules, No. 13 and 14. The Oilier Side. Hood River, April 25, 1897. Editor Glacier: The article in tbe last issue of the Glacier criticising my acts as supervisor of road district No. 22, can . do no good aud may do harm by en couraging men to hold out against the law who are not posted, and theiehy suffer the penal y. Said article says: "It seems it is the law that a super visor can order a man out to work the roads In the district in which he is found." The road law of Oregon, sec- ion 4088, sas the supervisor, must no- tify every' person witniu nis road dis- to pi!rfoi.m the work assessed on the puodc roads within his district. .. f- aitl.iuitl ti mail lulml uti u t..v.... 1 ,1 . The law plainly states that each man tiet ween the ages of 21 and 50 years of age is liable for a poll tax in whatever district he is found, provided he has no legal exemption, such as imbecility, etc." And as to the several supervisors referred to being "considerably worked up over the matter," I will kindly re fer them to the road 'laws of Oregon for a full explanation of my actions, aud hope they will find time to compose themselves while repairing the roads in their respective districts. All the men do not belong in the lower part of the valley, as some are fiom the state of Wuslii'iigtoii and f titer districts; but this cuts no figure, as the law is the same, whether. a man is from the next "distijct or some other state. , I did what tbe law commands a su pervisor to do under the circumstances, and it is unfair to hold out the idea that I wus trying to take undue advan tage of any one. I found these men staying and working for wages in ithis district, some of them since last fall, and they are directly benefited by the roads in this district, because the very Vork on which they depend for a live lihood could not exist without the use of the roadsin this district. Theheavy hauling of supplies for mill and flume purposes during bad weather has so damaged these roads that much extra work must be done to put them In working order.; I can't see why any business man in the valleysbould be against the improvement of this Im portant new mild and at the same time be so free to use the same which has been made by other's hard labor,-Most of Hood River's population use .the roads during some part of the year and know, the- need of improvement. If you would , build up your town, Mit: Editor, work for good roads through out the country. Now, then, I did hot make the road laws of Oregon, but as supervisor of road district No. 22 I am commanded , t enforce said law in said district, and j if any one is foolhardy euouuh to stand i out against the law he will naturally have to pay the penalty. - ' W. R. WlNANS. The Glacier does not dispute" Mr. Winans' right as supervisor to order men to 'work tho roads who come from outside the valley 'and are em ployed on the ditch in his district; but when he orders out men tempo rarily employed on the ditch who have lived in other road 'districts in Hood River valley for years, and who are regularly assessed In their own districts aud can qlways lie relied upon to work out their road taxes, be is taking an advantage that we do -not believe the law would uphold him in. Our laws are generally founded upon common sense. Each road supervisor is fur nished a list of those subject to road work; in his district, and generally there is no t pontile in getting men to work their road taxes in Hood River. A man assessed in district 2 could not be comjtlled to work the roads in dis trict 22, unless he has abandoned his residence in the former. Good roads are' needed just as much in the lower districts. as' they a''e at the Forks, ana labor as often falls short of the require ments of the supervisor. . Reports from the. British Columbia mines are to the effect that there are more laborers in that section than there is demand for, and it will be well for those who contemplate going there in search"' of employment to heed this warning. The country is rich in niin ural reource and doubtless will give employment to an immense army of laborers, but there are at present only a few mines that have been developed, and it is evident that many of the workmen who are rushing into that region will lie unable to find ready situations. Cheney Sentinel. Old Glory Honored. The Crapper school raised the flag over the school house Friday afternoon, the 16th, with appropriate exercises, and the Barrett school on the following Friday honored the flag with a public salute and an equally line programme A few ladies of the W. R. C. and one or two memhets of the G. A. K. were present at both schools aud assisted in the work. The character of the selections show ed that the teachers were interested in patriotic teaching, and the work done in the short, time they had for preparation proclained . them to.be earnest and capable instructors. . Owing to the extremely busy seasou, the attendance of 'the patronsof the school was not large, and still, under' the circumstances, it. was creditable, aud the feeling shown by those present was encouraging to all who desire a higher standard of patriotism. , 0, R. & N.
