The Encamp in wit Comes to Hood River.
Hood 1th or lius been selected as the
p'liee for holding .the brig-tide ehfump
inent of the Oregon National Guard.
The Bile was definitely determined
upon Wednesday by Brigadier-General
5eebe, eommanding the brigade, after
coiistiltat'on with Gov. Lord, eom-iimnder-in
chief,, at Salem on Tuesday.
This will I j' tin excellent thing for
Hood River. It is estimated that there
will be about 7(10 n IT! cere and men in
camp, and they will be quartered here
a week or move B"tne time during the
month of June. The camping grounds
were selected by Genet'til Beehe while
lie was here hist Sunday .( The soldiers
will pitch their tents among the pines
at Belmont, using the open field east
of the M. E. church for drill, and pa
rade grounds. "
Upon reading In the Oregonian of
the selection of Hood River as the en
ampmeiit site, Dr. F, O. Brosius tele
phoned Col. H. W. Caldwell at Port
land regarding the arrangements to be
niude by the pAple here, and was in
formed that the officers of General
Beetle's staff would be here in a few
days to arrange things. Col. Cardwell
aUo stated that there were good pros
pects of the state purchasing & perma
nent site for the annual encampment
of the national guard, and if so, that
Hood River stood an excellent chance
of being chosen. Hence it behooves
every enterprising citizen of our town
and valley to make a united effort in
: Hood River's behalf, as it is a business
proposition that falls to us but once In
n life time. An annual encampment
here of the O. N. G. would be the
wieans of bringing into our valley a
large amount of money every summer.
It would bo an attraction that would
bring here hundreds of visitors from
all parts of the state.
. Binger Hermann, commissioner of
the general land office, has sent word
to The Dalles to the effect that the
sheepmen will he allowed to enter the
Cascade forest reserve with their flocks
of sheep this summer for pasturage;
that is, they can secure the benefit of
the pasturage ; this summer before the
government could take action to oust
them. YPhat right Binger Hermann,
as commissioner of the general laud
office, has in the matter to issue an or
der over-riding "United States District
Judge Bellinger's decree prohibiting
the use of the reserve for sheep pas
turage we would like to know. Mr.
Hermann has reached a very high of
fice if bis word can set aside the ruling
of the courts, the aets of congress or
tlie proclamations of the president.
' President H. B. Miller of the Oregon

President McKinley is reported to
have said that he will not appoint any
"member of 'the Oregon legislature to
office until a senator is elected. The
Mountaineer thinks this indicates that
the administration is standing in with
the Mitchell "push."
A subscriber of the Murfreesboro

Opposed to Bonding.
Hood River. May 5, 1897. Editor
Glacier: I am told that certain in
terested parties, or parties interested in
crushing some one else,' are circulating
h petition to have the town bonded to
pay for f 4,000 worth of water. What
names are on the1 petition, if any, I
know not, but presume the same hood
lums and Indians who petitioned to
have the town incorporated, and then
vnturi frt Ihti ininl'n.iniHiin Rftrvia
men (if if be lawful to call them men)
will sign any petition to get rid of the
fellow who presents the thing to them.
Numbers who signed, the petition to
incorporate, - like W. P. Watson, after
wards got on a huge disgust and want
ed me 10 help "bust, the whole, thing
up." I am told that some who signed
the petition to Wind i he town are now
sorry they did it. You show me a re
sponsible taxpayer who wants to lay
on the last straw to the enormous bur
then of taxes we now carry, making
officials and corporations fat while our
children ure eying for shoes,, and I
will show you an ass. We have bond
id the district for $8,000 to build a
school house. There was some sense
in that, for we wanted to educate our
children to place them above the plane
of the hoodlum who will sign any peti
tion that comes along. If these et
tioners cannot see any way to save the
town from conflagration without bond
ing the town for $4,000, let them come
to me for advice. I believe the whole
scheme is Intended to injure Blowers
and injure nie and everyone elset in
side of this one-horse Incorporation. I
hereby enter my protest through the
Glacier an organ through which
we can present the claims ot a buffering
people. W. Li. A.

The Excursion from Tne Dalies. '
. The graduating class of The Dalles
high school, accompanied by, other
young folks, in all about twenty, came
down On the Regulator last Saturday
and picnicked in the groves near town
and loafed about the streets. If this
excursion of young people from The
Dalles is a fair sample of the kind they
raise in that town, our citizens do not
wish to see them come again unless
their parents or guardians come aloi.g.
These precocious young people acted
very silly while here. As they passed
through our streets on the way from
the boat they tried to be witty in read
ing the signs and remarking about the
appearance of our citizens. Their vul
gar wit passed unnoticed, but it was a
great relief when the boat came along
and took them home. After the hood
u in party had gone the real mischief
accomplished by them was discovered.
They had gone out to the big spring of
the Spring Water Co. to eat their
lunches, where they amused them
selves by throwing the refuse from
their lunch baskets into the reservoir
that supplies the town with drinking
water. Not satisfied with this, they
upset the flume which carries the water
from the spring to the reservoir. The
flume was lOinches square, about 150 feet
long, supported two or three feet above
the ground and well braced. It must
have cost them some labor to overturn
it, but they succeeded in shutting off
the supply ot water for tne town.
About 5 o'clock the reservpir and
mains had run dry, and when every
housekeeper wanted water for the even
ing meal. The damage to the water
comnany amounted to about $50. Pic
nic parties are always welcomed to
Hood River, but hereafter our town
marshal will be on guard when "grad
uates" come to visit us.
The Boss Ditch Builder.
In coming along near Ditch creek,
Monday, we found Charley Ross pick
ing away, with the sweat rolling from
him in great shape. Mr. Davenport
asked him what had become of all his
men. A few days before we had 'pass
ed there and found Ross working a
squad of fine looking men. Ross
answered that he had fired them all,
and said, "If you send me any more
drones like them I will boot them out
of the camp." Davenport said he
wished be had a few more men like
Charley Ross, who can do as much
work as two common men, and he
wants his men to do as' much as he,
himself, can do. Mr. Ross has been
the most steady man on the ditch. He
started with the work among the first
and expects to stay till it is finished.
He lias worKea out over $ou wortn ot
stock. We wish there were a few
more good meu like the boss, Charley
KOSS. , C. A. HELL.
Bell and the Snake.
In coming down tne flume, Monday,
we passed the camp of Bishop & Cox,
which is composed of a table made of
rough boards under a tree,' a hunk or
two, a few things scattered around, etc.
A good-sized ratt le snake was hi pos
session of the camp wheii we arrived'.
Not knowing if Bishop"; had men
enough to retake the camp, we armed
ourselves with scantlings and proceed
ed to war with his i snakeship.' Bell
had never met. a. rattler, before and
seemed n little afraid of him at first,
lie Wiiu tea to know if the snake could
jump up on the flume. But he fired
away at him, and with my help knock
ed him out in the fourth round. We
; think Bishop had no trouble in enter
: ing hi camp, but we would advise him
to be a little more careful bow he sleeps
around under the rocks with the
snakes.- F. Davenport.

At the last meeting of the W. R. C.
each member was presented by Mrs.
Bailey with a May-day bouquet of beau
tiful pansies an appropriate emblem,
for our order, as the language of the

TJie business of the meeting was
principally in arranging for properly
observing Memorial day, the nation's
Sahhath, the day we meet around the
sacred mounds of loved ones who died
in defense of right ami in honor of all
who have served their country and
now sleep in peace. The teport on
patriotic teaching was encouraging,
and as long as such work, continues to
be done in our schools the perpetuity
of our country will le assured.

Hay is now selling in the markets of
Oregon City at $20 per ton and the
startling fact, to a person who has been
led to believe that Oregon is one of the
best farming states in the Union and
Clackamas county one ofthe best grass
counties in the state, is that this hay is
nearly all imported from California.
Much of the butter and vegetables sold
here also come from California, while
the greater part of the cured meats
come from the East. During the win
ter months California supplies us with
eggs, and will again bo soon as the
spring rush is over with Oregon hens.
When we add to these importations
sugar, canned goods, dried fruits, soap,
starch, vinegar, syrup, shoes, clothing,
agricultural implements, tools and the
innumerable other articles, which could
be easily manufactured here, it is little
wonder that Oregonians complain of
the scarcity of money and hard times.

F. DAVEiJPORT,
The Cascade Reserve.
There are some' very perplexing
questions connected with the subject of
forest reserves. The most troublesome
question is the effect which thewe
reserves niay have ou the range sheep
industry.- The range sheep owners are
vigorously looking after their rights in
this matter and there is little danger
that they will lie seriously injured. It
is very doubtful, however, whether
Oregon's state board of horticulture
should take action in opposition to the
reserve system.' The fact is that there
has already been a clashing of interests
between the range sheep owners and
the fruit growers in the Hood River
section. The national forestry associa
tion very naturally makes mistakes,
but it is a patriotic organization which
is sincerely working for the permanent
good of the United ritiies The theory
which Secretary Miuto advances that
the mountain forests ought to tie sub
divided among individual owners who
should be limited by law as to' the
amount of timber which they should
cut annually is not. likely to work out
well. The state of New York has been
compelled to buy from private owners
large tracts of lauds lor forest preserves.
In no country in the world have pri
vate owners preserved sufficient forests
on mountainous tracts except under a
system or governmental supervision
which we would not be apt to tolerate
here. Rural Northwest.
