3cod Iftver Slacier. ri'.IDAY, DECEMBER 15, 18W. The Dufur Dispatch mentions an irri utiuy: nchftme to torn the waters of the lCBchute river onto the sage brunh lands of Crook county. Over 300,000 acre of land are eatable of being ro ilaimwl. The wlieine Is well under way, and the undertaking is not formid able. Sage bnifh lands ore considered . nvmtf the lxst for growing wheat, and with a supply of water for irrigation, jjood crops every year will be an assured fact- Here is a pointer for those seek ing government lands. This sage brush lurid of Crook county, heretofore Biip j owd to be worthless for agriculture without water, is mostly government l.rul Dirertiiiff the waters of the Deschutes will mako it bloom and blos som as the rose. Pfivs the Crook County Journal: What may be accomplished by economy and industry is well illustrated in the mm t,t J. A. Mimr. a Chinese lad of flout 18 year8of age, who has worked at the rrtneviile hotel the past four years at 20 per month and saved tlOOO out of hia wages. Last Monday he s'.arted for Hongkong where ho will be ,ur,;,.,1 anfl then return here. If Americans were as industrious and sav trig as the celestials they would all be i.iilliimairei." The Chinaman saved $10 more than his salary in four years Hut this might have been the unearned mT,.mint. If Americans were all as wing as this Chinese lad, country editors would never become million a 'rji'. And so, Bro. Talmer, it may be betfr as it is. B. (?. Tague, who has been in charge of the weather bureau ollicc in Portland for the juist 11 years, has been teinio- rarily transferred to Chicago. Geo. JN falthbury, now In charge of the office at Seattle, will have charge in Portland. ForeeasU are issued only from the offices In Washington City, Chicago,. 8an Fran cisoo and Portland, and Mr. Pague will make the rounds, familiarizing himself with the work in each place. Hood River Town and Valley. The town of Hood River is situated at the confluence of tho Columbia anu Hood Ilivers, at an elevation of 103 feet above the level of the sea. It is U5 miles east of Portland, on the line of the O. R. id N., that affords connection with three eontinenUl lines, besides the ad vantage of steamboat transportation on the Columbia. The town is delightfully situated on a gently sloping hillside, in groves of large oaks, making it one of the prettiest places in tiie staus. Ji con tains three handsome churches Con- itregational, United Brethren and Meth odist; a public library; a gravity water system, furnishing the purest oi spring water. The merchants of the town are enterprising and Tho annual meeting of the Oregon historical society will be held in Port land, Saturday, Dec. 10th. Tho annual address, touching important historical matter in the early days of Oregon, and in Clatsop county particularly, will be given by Silas B. Smith, Esq., the son of Solomon Howard Smith, who was one of Cnpt. Nathaniel J. Wyeth's party of loT.2-34. ' The Sheridan Sun says the saloons won hands down at the Sheridan city election. But one temperance man, the tmumrer, was elected, and the Sun says "the devil himself would select an honest, temperate man when it comes to the care and custody of the funds." lines their make full stocks of it unnecessary A Manila dispatch of Dob. 13th say Gen. Young's column has released 2,000 Spanish prisoners and scattered import ant rebel forces in nil directions, with a total of only four killed. Aguinaldo lied in disguise, while his body guard was killed and captured. Editor John (iinder of the Skamania Pioneer has taken a partner, EdMichell, a practical printer, and the paper pre sents a much improved appearance. Skamania county ought to give good support to its only paper. The British suffered another defeat in a battle with the Boers last Monday, on Modder river. Gen. Metlmen reports great losses but makes no estimate. Rev. F. Dillard Holman, father of Alfred Holman, formerly on the editorial Staff of the Oregouian but now editor of the San Jose Mercury, died in Portland Dec. 2d, aged 68.

Jn choosing a Christmas gift for a fiiend what can afford more present or lasting pleasure than a subscription to The Youth's Companion? The delight with which it is welcomed on Christmas liiuruiup: is renewed every week in the year.

A Card, 1 have never at any time said any. thing to any person that could be made ' to mean that I wanted him or anyone pise to commit any act of dishonor for the purpose of convicting any person for selling liquor to minors or in evasion of any law. The report circulated on elec tion day that I tried to get a young man to get drunk for the purpose of convicting K. E. Fewel for selling liquor to minors I denounce as a lie made of whole cloth.

Its northern boundary is the Colum bia river ; its eastern a high spur or divide putting out from Mount Hood, 2,000 feet or more in height, admirably protecting the valley from cold winds in winter and the hot, destructive winds in summer that come from tho east; its western boundary tho timbered slopes of the Cascade range, while the broad base of Mt. Hood completely blocks the valley to the south. Tlie arable portion of the valley is some twenty miles in lencth bv an average width of five miles, or 04,000 acres. Deduct 14,000 acres for bluffs and tracts too rough for cultiva tion, and we have 50,000 acres suitable for tillage. Hood river receives all the drainage of the north and east side of Mt. liood, and the melting snows of summer maintain a large and constant flow of water. The river has a descent of over (10 feet to the mile, and a canal eight miles in length would direct any portion of its waters to the brow of the plateau just above the village and 350 feet above the railway lino. At the present time all the arable lands on tl.e west side ot Mood river have irrigation facilities, and a good commencement has been made on an irrigation ditch on the east side of the vallcv that will cover 15,000 acres. In a brief' time there will not lie a ten-acre tract in all this district but what may have its running brook, its fragrant meadow. The country adjacent to the upper reaches of Hood river is covered with forest growth, and the timber adjacent to the river has been esumatea as high as a billion of feet. Last year were shipped some 37,000 crates, or over one million pounds of strawberries, which went to Omaha, fet Paul. Duluth. Denver, Salt Lake and other markets. There are also about 120,000 standard fruit trees, largely ap ples, m orchard form. Such, in brief, are some of the char acteristics of Hood River Valley ; but apart from these it has an wsthetic value that should not lie overlooked. Here beauty and sublimity are added wealth of forest and soil. The climate is most salubrious, the air a luxury to breathe. The western breezes come fra- grant with the odors of the pines and firs of a hundred miles of forest, and nowhere does the glorious sunlight leav a warmer blush on fruit and flower than in this mountain vale. Ascend to the level of the plateau just above the vil Im'H and nhipeta nf nhvsical crrandem are everywhere about, To the south, so beautiful and seemingly so near, rises the gnieeful,immaculate shaft, Mt, Hood that all Oregonians love, To the north Adams rears Us bnlky form more than 12,000 feet above the sea, sovereign of all the lesser peaks from Shasta to Rainier, while at their very feet flow in ceasless measures the garnered waters of an empire. Modest and plain 'bur homes, but grand and incomparable our I surroundings. The fruit products are not limited to apples and strawberries, but include pears, peaches, prunes, bhickls-rries and all varieties of small fruits, while clover a;d the various grasses, wheat, potatoes, vegetables and garden products succeed admirably, especially under irrigation. Six or seven saw mills, three oi which cut from 50,0U to 150,000 feet of lumber per day, employing many men, are op erating in the valley. Tho available water power is fully 120,000 horse power and equals that of Sjsikane. Hundreds of visitor spend their summer vaca tions in the valley, camping, hunting, fishing or w heeling, each year. J here are no cyclones to terrify, no blizzards t,i i-hill nnr tlaiinlcr storms to destroy. Water is pure and abundant, fuel to be Imd at a sliirht cost above the cutting.

Editor Glacikb: In your last issue 1 read with interest nn article headed "Plea for Pro hibition." and signed W. P. Watson Judging from what 1 hear, nineteen out of twenty w ho read your paper enter a strong ueniurrer iu jiu. , wun p . humb v beg to -stana up anu uu minuted'' as one of the nineteen. vow, don't let us forget, before we start in, that Bro. Watson, like all prohibition ists, draws no line between a temperance man who uses a moderate amount oi i.nr miirits and the drunkard who wal lows in his vomit in a saloon, dead drunk on "rot mit." oblivious to the wonts of his family, outhful .blood and the gray hairs of infirmity are alike found sticking to the wheels of this pro hibition Juggernaut. It respects neither ace. sex. previous or present condition of a man s health. All alike must be ground to sausage meat to catch a poor devil who deals out poisons in a saloon Prohibitionists want a law to stop the manufacture and sale of all spirituous liouors. Do I correctly state their case? W hat are spirituous liquors? Whisky rum, alcohol, wine, lager beer, or any thing that will make on Indian drunk. Prohibitionists demand a law to pro hibit the manufacture, sale or giving away any such drugs. The law of course must havo a jienalty attached fine and imprisonment. Prohibition sleuth hounds, anxious for a fee, invade man's house, turn his bureau drawers outside, go down cellar, overhaul his po tatoes, jlrighten the women and children into fainting to hunt a bottle ot beer and then eo their way. to collect thei fee, reporting "Nothing found." In Maine, cider was "prohibited." They cut down their orchards to prevent the U8e of cider. The prohibition sleuth hounds found a pint of cider with on old soldier which a neighbor had given him The soldier was arrested and cast into prison because ho refused to tell who gave him the cider. After long impris onment among cockroaches and vermin in the damp cobweb covered walls the old soldier committed suicide as the only way of escape from a soulless prohibition fanaticism. I am opposed to a prohibition law for many goou reasons, l. ro sucn law ever was or ever will be enforced. Pub ic sentiment is against it and always will be. 2. It would imprison Jesus Christ for making wine and drinking it . . . .. . .i. in:.: o such an extent mat ine promoiuon harisees called him a "wine bibber. . It would send Bro. Watson to the lock-up for having made some very good wine and- inviting me uown ceuar to sample it. Did Christ, Paul or W atson n so doing commit a crime tnai wouiu defile on angel? All say no. Then why have a prohibition policeman Knoca them down with his club and thrust them in prison alongside of the drunk ard who lias cut his wife's throat? 4. I oppose prohibition because alcohol and Ipintuous liquors are jugiuy nuix-unuij n the arts and in pharnnicopia. Go ask Ed Williams and Charley Clarke if they think they couldn't make better tinc tures witli stump water than alcohol, Go ask that old grey-headed man who has been temperately using bitters lor 50 years if he don't think it will lie bet ter for his health to stuff his roots and herbs into a jug and then fill it up with rain water or buttermilk. Go ask any intelligent physician who uses alcohol as an aiifcsthetic or to arrest waste of tissue in a consumptive if he don't think soap suds will answer the same purpose. When you get nn affirmative answer to these questions then hang out ine yei low flag over every drug store (not for getting Bro. Watson's cellar). But Bro. vt atson siarts on uy quoting a wise man" (Solomon) to pwe that they who tarry long at the red wine have all sorts of pains and aches but he for got to tell us that this "wise man" never saw a woru against ine temperate use oi wine never recommended prohibition as a cure for "tarrying long enough to get beastly drunk." He also forgot to tell us that this "wise man was not even temperate in all things. Couldn't even a temperate Turk get along very well with less than a tnousana women (300 wives and 700 concubines), as this Wiseman kept in his haremf lent there a school boy in Hood River "wise enough to tell us it is bad for a man to drink enough wine to carry a heaaiignt on the end of Ins nosef Ana wasn t Brighani Young "wise" enough to tell me in a talk I had with him in 1809, that 21 wives and no concubines answer ed his purpose very well? Which was the "wisest," &oiomon or urignam oung? But let us hear Bro. Watson: "iNo li cense or folding of hands while one hun dred thousand of our countrymen are filling drunkards graves annually Who is responsible for the present ruinous liquor traffic, not the saloon keeper but the people." (Here he has left a little hole which he licenses the saloon keeper to crawl out at. I think he ought to have plugged that hole up). He can carry all he wants to of the sack of saloon keepers' sins on his shoulders, but excuse me tor not lending a hand. Again: "It is the gov ernment that makes the laws, but the people make the government." ery well ; what is the government? McKin- ley as the head, his cabinet and con. gress. This is the government, isn't it? the government that is holding up the rum tralhc and sending seventy thou' sand drunken bloated bodies to the grave and seventy thousand souls to hell. An infamous government truly one the devil has got by the ear and all hell is reioicine over, io voted the admin istration into power? Did any flaming prohibitionist vote for McKinley vote as lie prays and believes, or did he vote for the prohibition candidate? In order to know just what; their opinion is worth the public wants He has Tjutted'against the common sense of the people till lie has butted himself all away but the tail, and that I see is still butting. It is easy to find fault not so easy to suggest n remcdv. H requires a states man to construct a government, secur ing the greatest good to tho greatest number. Any long-eared animal can back unnnd kVk at it. We all admit the incalculable evils of the liquor traffic. The question is, what is the remedy? We know that prohibition is no rrmeuy. What then is? In my next I will try to propose a remedy, by which, if we can not kill the saloon beast, we can extract some of his funks and cut off some of his claws. Prohibitionists propose to let him live as long as the devil d'S-'S some ten thousand years, perhaps. I promise to bring him to the bull ring and operate on him now. W. L. Adams. Mrs. R.
