" Rev. Dr. L. Stoddard, rector of St. Johns, the most aristocratic Episcopal church in Jersey City, has started a dancing school in connection with the church and furnishes lessons at the low price of 6 cents a lesson. His ob ject, he says, is to promote . sociability and keep young folks from indiscrim inate association. Dr. Stoddard is a very progressive, up-to-date clergyman. He has Instituted in connection with the' church singing classes, lecture courses, physical culture for young women, us well as for the boys and men; shorthand classes and a cooking school. There is in addition a room set apart especially for bicycles. The friends of free silver in Oregon are endeavoring to form a union party aud will hold a conference in Portland January 7th. The democratic exec utive com mi t tee will meet in Portland January 8(h and is expected to fall an easy prey to fusion. The fusion party will hardly succeed in capturingenough democrats aud populists to entirely ob literate these parties, and without com plete fusion they will not come as near winning in the state as they did in '96. William D. Carter; a pioneer printer of Oregon, died at Sellwood, December 28, 18&7, aged 08 years. Mr. Carter was a tine printer and a most excellent man. It was our good fortune to have known him intimately. Mr. Geo. H. miun git co a sivciu 1110 1 1 i n Wednesday's Oregonian, which shows him to have beeu a man of sterling worth and character. An Idaho rancher has discovered . that gophers will disappear from land sown with the castor oil bean, and that some - parasitic insects on trees will leave where the bean is grown. These . beans have for some '"le been, sown on his land, among his brchard trees, with excellent results. A correspondent of the New York Suu blames Grover Cleveland for the abuses of the pension laws. He says "gross frauds" were allowed to go on during his two administrations "to make political capital for domocratic use against the republicans" 11 : It is announced that another big daily paper will be started in Portland and that its mission will be to secure the return of John H. Mitchell to the United States senate. If this is indeed its true mission it gives promise of long life. 1 The Salem Sentinel is a new paper, independent republican in politics, pub lished by C. R Irvine, late of the Statesman. The Sentinel is newsy and starts off with a good advertising patronage. - ' . The special illustrated edition of the Times-Mountaineer will be issued about the first of January. It is said it will be one of the finest publications ever put out by any paper in the state. The senate has passed the bill. giving all persons who were not at the time owners of land acquired under the . homestead law the right to make sec ond homestead entries. Congress has adjourned till January 6th. ' The Ylew of Mt. Hood Not Liked as a Steady Diet A Chicago man recently visited Portland and happened to strike a clear day when Mt. Hood could be seen iu all its glory. He' was so enraptured t hat he expressed himself as willing to believe the story that -some Portland people can live on the viev of the grand old mountain, whereupon his host ' (which must have been "Jerry" of the Oregonian) told the following true story: A printer employed on a Portland paper. a good many years ago, before there was a railroad lip the Columbia, had spent his brief summer vacation at Hood River, and became so infatuated with the line view of Mount Hood from a point near there that he moved his rather large family there and lo cated t neurit) a. cottage, which afforded magnificent view of the grand old mountain. . The family greatly enjoy ed the pure air, and the" country lite. The boyi' fished and hunted, the girls' picked berries, and every week supplies reached them by boat, and they were very happy and found the view of the mountain growingon themday by day. Finally, winter came on and a cold spell followed; the river above the cas cades was frozen up; the boats stopped running, and there was no way of get ting supplies to the family, and in a few days they had nothing to subsis't on, except the view of Mount Hood. Then its appearance changed, and it seemed like some ice-clad demon, whose breath was as chilly as that of a step mother, whose object was to slowly congeal the blood in their young veins and freeze them to death. 'They were some distance from neighbors, aud it was several days before relief reached them, and they could not have existed more than another day or two on the view of Mount Hood, and after they had been rescued they never wanted to seethe mountain again. As soon as the boats commenced running they were brought buck to- Portland, but even the view of Mount Hood 60 miles distant gave them a pain, and soon after they all removed to San Francisco to tie out of sight, of - the 'grand old mountain. ' '.'' Some Good Suggestions. Hood River, Dec. 29, 1897. Editor Glacier: Regarding the proposition of a cannery at Frank ton, there is no one thinking seriously of the scheme, as such enterprises are always located at a favorable point for transportation, especially when one, is-available. On the other hand, to build and properly equip a small cannery, "but large enough to be of use for . Hood River valley," will require at least from $4,000 to $6,000, and I think $8,000 none too much to make the venture safe. But Hood River enterprise can, and I think ought to, build in Hood River town a large cold storage building to store ap ples, pears and any other fruits or yeg egtables that farmers, may raise for market.. This would permit farmers to haul their fruit to town when the roads were good and place it where, when the market and fruit were right, it would be available. . Under such conditions there would be no difficulty in selling it in lots to suit the markets, f. o. b. here. Buyers would be plentiful if they knew they could see fruit in town, and not be compelled to run all over the valley, which is expensive in win ter, and we know who pays all bills in the end. Hood River can put up a fruit dryer in town large enough to dry the valley crop, and by this means turn out a uniform article and grade, and pack it, and this would be at market where it could be seen and sold f. o. b. It Is in the province of the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union to own these, or rent them if the stockholders do not feel like owning them, as they can be built if they would be used by the union of growers. Furthermore, if we are to have a union in fact as well as in name, capital,' with experience back of it, stands ready'to put up a cannery if the Hood River Fruit Growers' Union will use its efforts to satisfy, them that they will have something to can. You all see that it rests with the growers at last, where it properly should, and I hope always will. . Answer. The Man Who Laughs. Hood River, Dec. 27, 1897. Editor Gjacier: During your . pilgrimage among the children of men haven't you met persons hose presence caused you to feel better and think more of your kind? And others, who never had a Kindly word tor any one; every thing wrong and every one dishonest but themselves? - Watch the latter. . Benjamin Franklin had a friend who had a deformed leg which he used, as he said, as a barometer and thermom eter to size up human nature. If upon first acquaintance remarks were made disparagingly of his crooked leg he cut short the acquaintance; but it any re marks were made at all in favor of Ids irood leir, he always sought further ac quaintance with the friend who did not criticise his deformed leg. - Never scold, never worry the for mer leaves a scar, the latter makes wrinkles on the iace. If the inevitable comes, bear it with as much patience as possible. Whistle, ping anu laugh. We would much rather be poor And merry than inherit the wealth of the Klondike with a discontented spirit. A merry heart, and a cheerful spirit, from which laughter rolls up as nat urally as the, bubbles in the spring of Saratoga, are worth all t lie money oags, stocks and mortgages of the city. The man who laughs Is a doctor with a dip loma indorsed by the school of Nature. His face does more good iu a sick room than a pound of powders or a gallon of biuer draughts, if things ko ngiH he laughs because he is pleased: if things go wrong" he laughs because it is cheap er and better than crying. People are always glad to see him: their Irands iu stinctively go out half way to meet his grasp, while ' they - involuntarily turn from the touch of the dyspeptic who speaks on the groaning key. He laughs you out of your faults, while you never dream of beinjt offended at him. It seems as if sunshine comes into the room with him, aud you never know what a pleasant world you are living in till lie points out the sunny streaks on its pathway. . Who can help loving the whole-souled, genial laugber? JNot the Dunoon and the man who classes noise with mirth, but the cheery, contented man of sense and mind. A good-humored laugh id the key to all hearts. The truth is, people like to be laughed at in a genial sort of way. If you are making yourself ridiculous you want to be told of it in a pleasant man ner, not sneered at, and it is astonish Isbing how frankly the toughing pop ulation can talk without treading on the toes of their neighbors. Why will people put on long faces when it is so much easier and more comfortable to laugh? Teal's come to us unsought and unbidden. The wisest art in lite is to cultivate smiles and to find the flow ers, while others shrink away for fear of thorns. - W. P.. Watson. Christmas at Fuirview Sarin. Fairview Farm, Dec. 29, 1897. Editor Glacier;. A merry Christmas at Father and Mother Bailey's was en joyed hugely by all. Every one, down to Baby Cora, was well remembered by Santa Claus with nice Christmas pres ents. ' Those present . were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bailey and their baby Cora, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bailey, Miss Dora Gunser of Wairensburg, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chandler, Miss Ruby Chandler. The day was spent in sing ing hymns and tongs''! itue was taken. tu.eat dinner, which consumed, a goorT deal of time.-, it teemed like' no one was In a hurry to leave the table, but when tiiey did every one agreed that Mother Bailey was hard to beat in get ting up a good Christmas dinner. In the. evening, Mr. and Mrs. Cunning, Elton Cunning, Emma Cunning ami Mr. Angus came over to have a good Christmas sing.. A jolly good time was had, and when the time came for all to go home, every one wished they might have as merry a Christmas next year. One Who Was There. Roads at Mt Hood. Klondike, Dec. 28, 1897. Editor Glacier: The Mount Hood road has beeu getting' better every year, but if people will keep on opening new roads every half mile apart they will soon find that we will have no roads at all. One new road now on foot will, if suc cessful, ' cost the taxpayers many a round dollar. It is not more than six miles long, with rough hillsides, and only three-fourths ot a mile at the most west of the old Mount Hood road. The Dalles Chronicle has this to say: "By this road several bad bills will be avoid ed, and it will make a difference of several miles iu distance, making it easier to reach the Inn." That's true. Put all the hills in one that's right. Yes, make it longer and harder to reach the Inn. We might ask ourself, who is going to do all the work ou this easy road? Oh, pshaw! we can't keep the old 'roads iu good order, and we don't want six miles more. Ask your self why. The petition has two names, and men to work the roads are not in the country. What are we going to do about it let it go? We guess not. The writer has been over the ground time aud time again; no road there. H. I Good Enough Reasons. . Crook County Journal. ' The gold-bug wants the largest poss ible use of silver that can be maintain ed on a parity with gold. If the gold bug could be assured that free coinage at 16 to 1 would maintain the two met als in concurrent circulation he would vote for free coinage at a moment's warning. Butall history and all human experience contradict the assumption. As the gold-bug reads history, when ever any metal, . in any. nation the world has ever ftnowu, was admitted to free coinage, the resulting coins have always -passed at their bullion value and iio more. The gold in an Amer ican eagle Is worth as much before it is coined as it is after. The silver in a Mex ican dollar is worth no mori after it is coined than itwas before. It is the same everywhere and always. Under free coinage the coinage value ana bunion value of the metals coined are always equal. Now, as cheap money always drives out ot circulation dearer money, it follows, therefore, that free coinage of silver, at any ratio lets than the market ratio, means silver moiromet- alism. These are some of the consider ations that compel the Journal to be a gold-bug. . Deficits Under the Tariff Laws. Chicago Ch'ronlcla.

For An Income Tax. In the house of representatives on December 16, Congressman Shufortof North Carolina, a populist, introduced a joint resolution to amend the con stitution ot the United States relating to direct taxes. 1 he proposed amend ment to be submitted to the states is this: article xvi. The provisions of the constitution of the United States relating to direct taxes and the apportionment thereor among the several states in proportion to the- census enumeration shall not apply to income taxes; but the con gress shall have power to lay and col lect taxes on all hicomes, regardless of the source from which the income is derived or acquired; provided, how ever, that all income taxes which the congress may lay and collect shall be uniform throughout the United States. . How They "Took Him In." ". ftev. Mr. Chalmers of, the Christian church at Cleveland, Ohio, recently disguised himself as a workingmau and attended a fashionable church in this city. He told his experience in his next Sunday's sermon, as follows. "For a long time the ushers refused to take any notice of me. 1 was elbowed about until, even though I was play ing a part, l tea Humiliated. .Mean time richly attired men and women were coming in and being shown to seats. .As plainly as they could, with out ordering me out, the ushers gave me to understand that I was not want ed. Finally they designated for my use the very rear pew in the church."
