jHoodiver Slacier. FRIDAY, FE1KI'ARY 16, 1900. To Hood River Sun Readers. In the last issue of the IIod River Sun the publisher stated that the plant was to be removed to Granite by the owner, S. P. Shutt, and tlmt another eutflt would be secured with which to continue the paper. Certain events which transpired later, and of which the writer had no knowledge until after the paper hud been sent out, made it inexpedient to continue ihi Sun, and the paper has therefore been discon tinued. To our subscribers we wish to say that the . subscription list has been turned over to the Glaciek, and that paper will be sent until all unexpired subscriptions are completed. Full credit will be given every subscriber. Should there be any to whom this ac tion is unsatisfactory, a cash return will be made for balance still due them. We deeply regret the necessity of dis continuing the Sun, and desire to take this flnol opportunity of thanking those who have given the paper their patron age. We have striven to treat all men fairly, and in 'saying good-bye, acconi. pany it with tho earnest wish that suc cess and prosperity may attend all who have been interested in tho Sun and have given us their liberal support and recognition of approval. Respectfully yours, E- R- BttADLEV. As will bo seen by the above state ment, the Hood River Sun has ceased to exist. There has nover been a time since the Sun's first issue that the pro prietor of the Glacikb suspicioned it had come to stay. Tho timo has not yet come when the business of Mood River will support two newspapers. The two papers made a double expense on every local advertiser as well as upon those who subscribed for both papers, with very little extra remuneration. The Glacier's loyalty to evary interest of Hood River was not forgotten by the good peoplo of the town and valley. During the life of the Sun we lost but one local subscriber, while our gain was as much as the entiro subscription list of that paper. The increased patron age, both in advertising and subscrip tion, was without solicitation on our part. For all this the proprietor feols truly grateful. Tho pleasure of know ing that his labors have been appro dated will encourage him to moke greater effort to give Hood River a local paper commensurate with its import ance. The Glacier has no enemies to punish; its late rivals are now consid ered as friends; but, in this connection, it may not bo out of plaoe to remark , "It's a cold day when we got left." The Oregon Weekly, published by tho different literary societies of the state university, is a new paper on our desk. It is neat typographically and newsy in regard to hapenings around the univer sity. Its aim is the advancement of the Interests of the university, to bring the alumni and former -student! into close touch with all college affairs, and to in form the friends and patrons of the unl versity oonoernlng its workings and tho influences that are surrounding their eons and daughters in attendance. A former "devil" of tho Glacier is asso ciate editor. We wish the Oregon Weekly all the success it rickly deserves. SIM! ! . L Lincoln Day Observance. Lincoln's birthday was appropriately observed in Hood River. Flags wcro hoisted and the Hood River Comet Band played the national airs on the streets. At 2:30 iu tho afternoon the band marched to the Congregational church, where a full house assembled to hear the addresses nnd music announced on the programme, Commander Ison berg presided at the meeting. In the choir were Dr. F. C, Brosius, Mrs. A. B CanBeld. Mrs. F. C. Brosius, Mrs. II. C liittohani, II. C. Butt-hum and Ralph Savage. Kev. J, JU. llerslinor ottered fervent and patriotic prayer. Rev. Frank Spaulding delivered the oration, which was listened to with admiration by all present. The speaker dwelt elo quently upon the principal points in the life of Abniham Lincoln. The story of Lincoln is one that Americans never t re of hearing repeated. Mr. Spauld log's tribute to the grand character of Lincoln visibly affected the old "Lincoln soldiers" present, and at the close of the exerciscB they gathered round to con gratulate hint upon his eloquent effort Rev. J, L. Hardliner read an article from a magazine giving a supposititious state ment of the gathering of neighbor at the Kontuckv cabin of Thomas Lincoln on the duv Abraham Lincoln was born and the droams related bv those pres ent, all having a bearing oh the future life of the lowly-born infant. Com nmuder Iseubera responded for the post After relating an anecdote about Lincoln being more ansorbed in one of Petroleum V. Nasby'8 letters, nt the time of his nomination for the presidency, than he - was in the wire pulling for his election, he repeated the speech of Linoolii at Gettysburg. The choir then sang 'America, the audience joining in the song; the baud played a parting piece and the audience was eliemissod. Fol lowing we print the speech of Lincoln at the dedication of tho soldiers' oemoterv at Gettysburg, It is something we all have read time and again and admire mora and more every time we read it: "Fourscore and seven vears ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, Now we are engaged in a great civil war. testing whether that nation, or any uatiou so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. W have come to dedicate a portion of that field M final resting place, for t irnt who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is ultoprether fit ting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot ded icate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave mer, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated H far al)ove our- poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we cay here, but Jt can never forgtf what they did here. It is for us, the living rather, to be dedicated here to the un finished work- which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to 1 here dedicated to the great tat-k remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which thev gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God. shall l.uve a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." . Race Between Journalist?. While perhaps half a dozen newspaper men have visited Granite the past three months for the avowed purpose of estab lishing a newspaper it remains for S. P. Shutt, former owner and editor of the Blue Mountain American to get down to business. Mr. Shutt purchased n lot last Saturday and mado arrangements for the immediate erection of a building. Mr. Shutt has been nlcdzed the support of every business man of Granite, and ns he is a newspaper man oi experience and thoroughly acquainted with the field lie should make a success. Mr. butt's paper is to be known as the Granite Gem. The first number will be issued as soon as Mr. Shutt can get his dantsetup. But it appears that Mr. Shutt is destined to have Opposition. J. Nat Hudson of the Cove Ledger is also reported to have a plant en route to Granite. His paper is to bo known as the Granite Boulder. Still another news paper enterprise projected for Granite is said to bo backed by F. G. Hull, F. E. Wilcox and H. A. Davis oi imatnia county, who have filed articles of incor poration under the name of the Granite 'ublishing Company. Athey Bros, of Boise, Idaho, are reported to have a plant at Baker City ready for shipment to Granite. Next! Blue Mountain American.

This is the family that was vis ited by friends from Sherman county who were small-pox convalescents. The Mullikin family has beon in quarantine sinco the visit of their indiscreet friends, and it is hoped there will be no further spread of tho disease. Tho greatest danger from colds and la grippe istheir resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. It will euro a cold or an attack of la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Williams & Brosius. It is said the portage road now being constructed from Grand Dulles to Co lumbus will give The Dalles a good op portunity to build a bridge across tho narrows, and thus secure to that city considerable trade that otherwise would go by, The claim of other cough medicines to be as good as Chamberlain's are effectual ly sot at rest in the following testimonial fif Mr.C.D.GIass.an employe of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.

One of the most marvelous engineering accomplishments of ancient or modern times is shown in discoveries which were made last vear in the lava beds of New Mexico, thousands of years ago, the geologists tell us, a system of irrigating reservoirs and ditches were operatea in the Southwest which is not paralleled bv anything of this nati re in the United States today. The bi ilders of these works, a neoole older than the pueblo race, cultivated thoustnds of acres of now arid territory. Itoervoirs were con structed at the base of mountains to catch the flood waters before they were absorbed into the loose and bottomless sand, and the ditchep, where they ran through sand, were cemented to prevent the water's escape. Lava has flowed into some of these ditches once filled by snarkling water in centuries gone by W hot can have been the history oi mis prehistoric race,or whi.t can have caused their disappearance, tan oniy oe con lectured. Unlike the ancients oi omer lanus, these people have not left a complete record of their glory and their downfall, and whether it was the result of climate conditions or greatupluavals.or whether they were supplanted by more warlike or stronger races, is a mystery, iney that were highly develof ed, however, in agriculture, which is the mother ot civil ization, is shown bv the evidences wtnen thev have left. Their canals wind m and around for miles, showing a superior engineering knowledge in securing an exact and uniform fill; remarkable viaducts were used )in crossing canons while a net work of distributing ditches brought every available acre into use for tillage. Vast fields of v aving gram ana laden orchards must have stretched awav. down the fertile valleys, under the magic touch of w ate: lor and Amer ica, where it has been reclaimed through irrigation of today, yields extravagantly and with such a development oi peaceful art must have been likewise an advanced state of civilization. Here was not irrigation bv individual owners or diverters of water, but a great system covering a large area, can fully thought out and operated by a cer-tral head for the greatest good of the many and the utilization of the greatest possible acre- :e. And it seems strange in tho present era of great progress and ast undertak ings mat hub eecuon oi country, uiitc the most highly cultivated of the conti nent, should now be an arid and cheer less waste, with a torrid sky and parched earth, even while the same rainfall of ages past still continues 5 ear by year, and the water supply is still there, only awaiting its utilization by man. Los Angeles ivvpress. Climate Effect on Orchard Pests. We are beginning to learn some inter esting things concerning the effect of climate on orchard pests. The habit of many of t hese peats diner greatly west of the Rockies from those of the same species in the East. At Tacoma Prof Cordlev stated that in the East the cod- lin moth does its damage as soon as the blooms are out, and the autt.onties there recommend spraying from bloom to Jung 23th. Here, the professor says, this moth does its work frc in June 20tli to September 20th, and tho spraying should be done at that' season. Mr, Smith of Hood River, reperted 98 per cent, of the apples free frtm worms bv diligent use of the Kedzie spray. We shall probably find that the season in which the codlin moth is active differs considerably in the different climate sections of our own state. Ranch and Range.
