With tUis issue the Glacier begins lis ninth volume. For eight years it has made weekly visits, bringing the local news to its subscribers. We have eason to believe its work is appre ciated, a .the subscription list has steadily grown since the first issue, without any effort at soliciting. The Glacikii is read by every one in the valley u ho i'kii read, and nearly every reader pay the publisher, unless he is a borrower, in which case he is cheat ing the publisher out of only one dollar ami lli'iy'cents a year, less tie cost of material and labor. The files of the Glacikk give a pretty accurate history of Hood Hiver for the past eight years. The person who "has preserved every copy of the paper since it started has tiie uiopt valuable work contained hi any- library in the valley. ; Binger Hermann has written a letter to the seriate committee investigating the workings of the civil service law and rules, advising a curtailment of the rules made by Mr. Cleveland. This mi'ttles it. The civil service law will be et aside when it interferes with the appointment of office seekers. Binger is all-powerful. Number of Plants to the Acre.

The first carload of strawberries for the Hen koi i was shipped May 23d by the iiood Hiver union. Lee Moise is in Montana in the in terest of the Davidson Fruit Company. The Davidson Fruit Company started a carload of strawberries toward the Missouri river Tuesday.. , The union shipped its third oar east l ist night. At 1). II. Sears' place, on the East Hide, there ia a one-year-old strawberry plant that lcats H. L. Crapper'sall out tf sight. .This one on Mr. Sears' place has 130 berries set. Hon. 'IV R. Coon left for Montana Saturday lust,, and Mr. G. R. Ctstner on same day for the East, both in the interest of the Hood River Fruit Grow ers' Union. ... ' Koine big days' work in strawberry packing have been reported. One lady U said to have packed 25 crates in one nitty. The berries will average about 5(1 to'tlie pottud. To pack 25 crates, un wti they twre thrown into the boxes t.y the handful and topped oft, it Would be necessary to handle about S3,M( berries. Strawberry pickers came here during the past week in such numbers that the market or their labor was over stocked, and a good many have been nimble to find employment. They eame by train and boat, afoot and by wagons from Eastern Oregon ana Washington. The Indians are not here in such numbers as heretofore. A letter class of people have come this feasoti than ever before. About 1500 men, women and children are now en gaged in picking and packing straw berries. Those here now can probably all tliui employment before the season is over, but no more are wanted. Our lierry growers can not be too careful in packing their frijit. There is a good deal of complaint by people iu town who have bought boxes of Htrawberries jthat were topped out with a layer of handsome berries, while the balance of t lie box were culls of the Kxrest quality. A person who would j.nu-k berries in this shape could notex jiect to sell twice to the same.customer. And if the berries are shipped in this condition the grower will have no right to t orn plain if bis returns are less than his neighbor, who packs his berries in good shape. .Commission men are jniek to Jearti the brands and soon know who puts up good fruit and who loes not. The crates properly packed are sold first, while inferior brands sell last and always at a less price. The . jrower who tries to cheat in packing fruit cheats only himself. "Put your conscience in every box," as Mr. Coon advises, and your brand will .soon leach the top. Wednesday of last Week Rev. E. M. Wilbur of Portland and W. A. Lan gille elinilied to the summit of Mount Hood, making the ascent from Cloud Cap Inn in a little less than six hours. The.v tald but a few minutes on the summit, bere the air was warm and comlortable and the view in the clear air remarkably fine. The Columbia could be seen from Arlington to Ka lama, and Saddle mountain, south of Astoria, was distinctly seen, also some buildings in the vicinity of Portlaud. This is, by six weeks, the earliest as cent of Mt. Hood ever made, no one having previously made the climb earlier than July. There is much less snow on the mountain than usual at this season, and the climbing was un expectedly easy. The roads are clear of snow up to within two miles of. Cloud Cap Inn. . During the latter part of last week ftrawbep'y growers were short on piclc , i n, The officers of the union sent to F. M. Stout, of Portland,, ordering '43. Ktout advertised for 100, but sent no more than was called for by the union. These 45 were given cards to be pre sented to 'the secretary of the union.

The eonseijueuce was ttiut pickers we id Kdeeted from among Die whole crowd by the Ihmt.v growers until they jtot all. they needed, and many of those holding cards were left. The union officials have done the best ! they could to find work for all sent to Ithein. Mr. 8. E. Bai'tmess wrote the Oreuonian Tuesday that Hood River hud more pickers than could find work.

The annual convention of the Wasco County Christian Endeavor Union met in regular session at the Valley Christ ian church on Thursday and Friday of last week. ' Something over fifty del egates were in attendance, and all were possessed of that enthusiasm which seemingly characterizes every member of Christian Endeavor societies. Sev eral addresses were given, all of which were interesting, including the address of welcome by Rev. J. L. Hershnerof Hood River and the response by.G. E. Stewart of The Dalles; also, an able lecture on the life of Christ, by Rev. J. A. Wickham of Portland, and the talk on junior work by Mrs. W. D. Palmer, also of The Dalles. Mrs. Wil son of The Dalles gave a graphic de scription of the island of Hawaii and the progress of missionary work among the natives that was quite instructive and entertaining. The music furnished by the young people of Hood River was splendid, and the several devotional services were ed ifying and impressive. At the busi ness hour several mutters of profit and importance were taken up and consid ered, at the close of which officers were elected as follows: President, Miss Alice Cleaver, Hood River; first vice presi dent, W. T. Hibbard, Hood River; sec ond vice president, James Powell, Du fur; secretary, F. A. Ernst, The Dalles; treasurer, Saliua Phirmin, The Dalles; junior superintendent, Mrs. Rachel1 Hershner, Hood River. lrl It. Hicks' Paper 5 Months for 25c.

Developments in regard to the pass age of the senate's belligerency resolu tion show that President McKinley has adopted the exact policy of Pres ident Cleveland on the subject of Cuba. He used all his influence to prevent the adoption of the pernicious Morgan res olution and to stave offinterference by either house of congress with the exec utive department in diplomatic affairs. He has placed himself on the same ground that President Cleveland occu pied. He has asserted that the dipfo maey of the government is exclusively within the jurisdiction of the executive department up to the point where it becomes a matter of declaring -war. That power belongs exclusively to con gress. So the constitution says. The position of President McKinley on this question is correct'. It is that of President Cleveland, taken at the suggestion of Secretary of State OIney,. a man of clear brains and high cour age, with but few equals and no supe riors in the history of American dip lomacy. Secretary of State Sherman holds views on this subject now quite different from those which he held when he postured as a jingo senator. He also asserts, as his immediate pre decessor asserted, that the diplomatic affairs of the government are undjr ex clusive control of the department of state, where he is at the head, under the direction of the president. Putting a man in a high position, where he has' a great responsibility that of preserving peace or of precip itating war with foreign nations tends to make him more conservative and patriotic than he woud be where he could play the part of a mere demagogue and take no risk either to himself or to the country for which he would be held to accountability. In the senate Sherman would have sup ported the belligerency resolution. In the state department he regards its passage as a serious public mistake and a misfortune. Chicago Chronicle. -Bailey's Plain Talk. Congressman Bailey is a man of whom his constituents may truly be proud, iu whom it is safe to put their trust, and one who is sure to serve them well. His remarks on a recent occasion may well serve as valuable counsel to every young man iu public life. "The social life," he say s 'is the curse of Washington. You go out to dinner, talk to women, and come back unfitted for study. It is wrong to ap peal to a man through his stomach. I sometimes ask friends to dine with me at the tavern, and when the meal is over I leave them. I don't like to be told whatJE must 'wear. My constit uents don't care about my clothes so long as' they are not fantastic or dirty. I am a young man and have to study. I don't have time to do all the work I ought to do, and no one can who goes to parties and dinners. A represent ative should work for bis constituents. I can't spare the time for social affairs." This ia a brief condensation of the bril liant Texan's plain talk. It is such men at Washington that, after all, will wear longest, shine brightest, and gain the highest degree of the confidence of their countrymen. Welcome. Circuit Court.
