The receipts of the government for the first week of January were $14,025, 818, mid the expenditures $9,277,000. Nine million dollars of the receipts was the last payment on the Union Pacific railroad. The receipts for the year, up to January 8th, were $223,354,541, and the expenditures $219,084,211. This shows a surplus of $4,270,330. That surplus comes from the heavy pay ments by the Union Pacific railroad; the actual difference between ordinary receipts and expenditures shows a def icit of over $45,000,000,-and for the first week of the year, $4,525,818. , The Glacier is in receipt of a copy of the souvenir edition of the Times Mountaineer, giving a write up of Wasco and Sherman counties, with il lustrations. It is a fine specimen of the art preservative and a good ad for the country it aims to make known, the wheat producing sections of Wasco and Sherman counties. We regret that Brother Douthit didn't see fit to send his representative to Hood River and give it a place in his publication. A write up of Wasco county is deficient In the most important part wben Hood "Rivnr ta lpft. nut..

Hon. E. L. Smith wus re-elected president of the"otate horticultural society for the fourth term. Of our display of fruit, the Rural Northwest says: "Hood River never fails to attract the lion's share of attention to its apple display by the beauty of the fruit and the liberal scale on which it is shown." : The jury in the United States court at Portland, last w,eek, returned a ver dict of guilty in the case of the govern ineut. .against I.

A Glance llackward. Written for the Glacier. : I had remained up somewhat later than was my usual want, pouring over a book of ancient lore, and becoming tired, had laid it down and soon lost myself in meditation and reverie, I was wondering about the origin and destiny of this curious eld world of ours and of that strangest of all God's creatures, man. And then, as my rambling thoughts led me on the track of the historian, I was thinking how I should liked to have witnessed some of the great and wonderful events that have made the Greek name forever glorious iu history, when of a sudden I was aroused from my reverie by a burst, of bird songs which seemed to come from the tree tops all about me., Look ing up, I observed with some surprise that I was walking hi a grove of plane and olive trees; that a rippling stream flowed at my feet, winding its way along with a pleasant humming sound that seemed to blend harmoniously with the song of the birds and the mu sical cadences of human voices which I heard in the distance. I also observed coming toward me a pleat ant appear ing personage, dressed in a flowing robe. He was bareheaded except for a circlet of leaves about his brows and wore san dals on his feet. Approaching, he sa luted meJn a very graceful manner as he said,' "Brother, I have divined your tnougnts and can gratify your desires. Follow me." And, without more ado, we sped away through space at a speed which-: defied all human calculation. After a time, of which I had taken no sort of account, we stopped. ".Now," said my companion, pointing, "turn your eyes ou yon luminous orb and tell me what you see." "I see," said 1, "a mass ot vapor roll up into a ball and slowly float away fiom the rim of the great orb ot light, describing, as it does so, an arp of a circle. It seems to be whirling around very, rapidly and its surtace to glow and flash as with elec tricity." "That," said he, "was the birtn ot our planet. JNow we will pass on some roans ahead." After a time he again bade me look at the glowing planet that we had seen so suddenly laise iorm ana roil away trom tne rim ot tne great oro or iiitnt. it now seem ed to be a boiling and seething mass of liquid nre, witn Here and tnere a dark er and more solid mass floating about on its fiery surface. There also an. peared to be a great many shooting stars that were constantly falling into it. The stars that fell into our earth, my companion informed me. were the wreckage of other worlds of like origin with our own, that,, having served their purpose and grown old, had lost their cohesiveness and were disintegrating and breaking up; that muny of them were constantly falling into the sun to replenish its ever wan ing fires; that our planet, now glowing with newborn life and energy, would attract a great deal of such matter to its surface, thereby adding much solid matter to its bulk and aiding it to cool.1 And he added that our earth would in time meet a similar fate. "But look again," said he; "we are much nearer now." I did so aud saw a spontaneous growth of fungus plants springing up on all parts of the lauded surface that appeared above the water. We again sped onward, and on stop ping I saw luxuriant growthsff strange and beautiful tropical plants; great fern like trees) 'strange, uuwieldly, un gainly creatures were crawling about among the tropical foliage or lashing the waters in their fury as they fought and devoured each other. Many strange, flying creatures cleft the smoky air with their bat like wings in search of insects for food, or dived into the sea for fish. I was particularly struck by the appearance ot a strange, seal like animal that somewhat resem bled man and seemed to inhabit the coasts of all the large bodies of land. Too much astonished to ask questions, I gladly obeyed the command of my companion to move onward. Alter another whirl through space, we again looked at the earth. I now saw a beautiful world of waving for ests, 'grassy plains, flowing streams, placid lakes aud heaving oceans. Oc casionally a tremendous convulsion of nature, accompanied oy volcanic fires, would cause a mountain chain to rise or sink a smiling continent beneath the surface of the sea. Many great volcanoes were spouting their liquid fires and rolling up. huge volumes of niacK smoKe mat hung like a sable pall over a'great part of the earth's sur face. And now, as the eartR and. the waters were teeming with their multi plied millions of animal species, I saw man yes, man, but a hideous, brute like creature, Hving in dens and caves in the earth and subsisting on frogs and snakes and any and everytbing that he was able to obtain, not except ing even his own species. But what struck me us being strangest of all was the fact that right at the very dawn of the race the different families of man kind should be more clearly distinct and different from each other than at. any subsequent time, and that each of the .several different divisions of the earth seemed to have produced types peculiar to itself, and which wnneared 1 to have sprung into existence almost simultaneously on all the larger bodies I of land, wherever the conditions were I alike favorable, and just as I had seen i the mushrooms do which first appeared above the earth's steaming surface.

Belmont, Jan. 14, 1898. Editor Gi-acier: As I don't bother you very often, I would like to explain to your readers in behalf of the pig stories that have been going the rounds. Now, Mr. Ellis is a truthful man. I can tell of pigs that would equal his back East. And ior Mr. .purser, wouio say ne was pretty tiear right about his old dwarf hoir. This niav look slrantre to neonle living at a distance, buthere is a time for all things. Borne countries raise mammoth stock and some dwarf stock, but Hood Riyer can raise either. We have some good soil and some poor soil, but a hog depends, on the breed and care it has. Something like rais ing corn. Mr. Purser once lold of rais ing a field of com that a man could ride through on a large horse aud not reach the top of the corn, and he told the (truth. This was on Hardscrabble farm, too. If anybody disputes it, I can show him a specimen on a farm nearer town that would bother a man to reach the top of the corn from a horse. But we can't come up to Ne braska for corn. Mr. J. M. Hofer writes me that he raised 4,000 bushels of corn, and on one ear he counted 1,690 kernels. That beats this country for corn, but we can beat them on fruit and a healthy climate. I have traveled through a number of states, and I find that no two countries are alike, no more than two persons are alike. Some countries raise big grass and stock, oth ers good wheat and corn, but Hood River can beat the world on apples and strawberries, lumber, wood and most all kinds of vegetubles, besides we have good schools, churches, and in fact have all the means to enlighten people and make them happy. E. C. Rogeks. "AH Men Are Liars." In the Skamania Pioneer of Decem ber 30th a bad break was made by the proof reader in letting slip through the edition a sentence in "Scribe's" Nelson Creek correspondence like this: "Jack Blank's tales of Cariboo are based upon actual observation." Immediately fol lowing was this: "Private: The infernal old liar never saw Cariboo in his life, never!" In the following week's pa per the editor makes apology for the "accident" and vouches for Mr. Blank being one of the most truthful men in the community. "Scribe's" "amende honorable," enough to assuage the wounded feelings of any community liar, was as follows: " Some one in a wanton mood inserted the ugly remark in my manuscript. After all, few in middle Skamania tie them selves down to plain, unvarnished truth. We are prone to garnish, bur nish and dress up a plain, ugly, naked fact. .For what what is a Jie? ' 'Tis but the truih in masquerade.' What is a rock? An ugly, uncouth object, but the sculptor's skill changes it into a statue, a thing of beauty; so a multi tude of plain, hurd-featured facts, when subjected to the embellishments of genius, become poetry and romance. Shakespeare was a great embellisher, so are many of the standard writers, but should we assail them as 'infernal liars?' Not much!" In Memoriam. , The following resolutions were adopt ed by the ladies' aid society of the Riv erside Congregational church in mem ory of Mrs. Helen B.Bradford: Whereas. Our Father In Heaven, In His mysterious providence, always loving aud wise, on tne evening of December 21, lKU7,took to the heavenly home Mrs. Helen B.. Bradford. the beloved wife of Mr. 1. K.

We wish to assure you that our policy of CLOSE PRICES FOR CASH is a permanent de parture from the time-honored methods of the trade. We are not giving any catch prices in these columns, but every article In our line, except patent medicines, will be discounted to the cash pur chaser.1 About patents we have pur own peculiar views and will explain them to any customer who is desirous of knowing them. The idea of two prices may be distasteful to some, who might otherwise be customers, to whom we only can say, that in a drug store experience of 13 years we have failed to arrive at a policy which , would be just to all save by the exclusively cash system. This being manifestly impossible, we are trying the next best thing. We cannot promise to continue this list Jieyond the sundries de partment for the reason that several items have to be taken into 1 account when we come to drugs, especially liquids. If you wish the most foryour money, though, bring clean bottles for the cheap er fluids, as the bottles often cost as much as their contents.
