Good apples sell all the way from f 1.25 to f.'.OO er Un, and the latter price does not secure the very best. "Hood Riv er" apples can lie bough of some of the retail stores in Portland for $1.25 per box, but when Col. Dunne, of "Solid Sprays" fame, wanted something in the apple line to send to a friend in the East he found that the Pavid.n Fruit Co., of Hood River, were rather doing him a favor by letting him have two botes of strictly first-class apples at $2.00 per box.

Rural Northwest. An Important Circular. U. it. Gilbert, county school guperin tondent, has sent the following circular to each board of school directors: I deem it not amiss for me to call your attention to the fact, that if a snc cial tax is to be levied in your district this year, the board of directors should be called together at an early date to give the district clerk formal instructions to call a special Bchool meeting. The district clerk should make the minutes of the special board meeting a matter of record. I have this day written to the clerk of your district in relation to this matter. According to the most recent laws, one-half the taxes legally levied against real or personal property, in any year, be paid on or before the first Monday in April, then the time for payment of the remainder of such tax may be extended to and including the first Monday of October next following. Apportionment ot the common school funds is made in October and April of each year only. What will be the result of the above manner of collecting taxes remains to be seen, llie present school vear ends on the Friday preceding the third Monday in June. Any unexpended balance in excess of $50 in the hands of the district at the end of the school year shall be returned to the general school fund of ttie county The above does not apply to any special school taxes. The above statements have been made for the consideration of those schools conducted for a stated mini ber of months in the year.- It is likely that the April apportionment of county funds will be short of expectations and, in that case, ttie deficit should be pro vided for by a special school tax. len days notice oi special school meet' ing must be given, and the call should be made for not later than January 'is, 1902. This would give ample time for the district clerk to report the result of the meeting to the county clerk not lat er than February 1st. Sidewalk on State Street. Since sidewalks are being built ac cording to the ordinance along Oak street there is a general movement for good sidewalks on other streets. Councilman McDonald interviewed property owners on the south side of State street and found them all ready and willing to lay six foot walks in front of their prop erties. Mr. McDonald then interested himself further and got all property owners on the south side of State street, from Second street to Park avenue," to agree to building sidewalks. The public school block,of course, is controlled by the school directors, and it is expected they will order the walk for their partof the way. The lumber has been ordered and the work of laying the sidewalk will commence at once. This is a much needed improvement that should have been ordered long ago. The Glacier, years ago, advocated a sidewalk on Mate street and up to the new school house for the benefit of the school children in the winter seasons, but nothing w as ever done toward the consummation of the good work till Councilman McDonald took the matter in hand. Lumber is cheap, it is one of the chief products of Hood River,and while we are building sidewalks let us not stop half way but build them where needed. Good side walks and crosswalks save a multitude of mQddy feet. In Peace and Harmony. Hood River, Ore., Jan. 8, 1902. Edi tor Glacier: Today, at the mouth of Hood river, inside of the town limits, we were surrounded by more than 100 birds in close proximity to us, seeming ly almost indifferent to our presence, so intent on gleaning the insects hidden in the bark and amongst the dead leaves that happened to adhere to some twigs. The following names comprised the group:Oregon Snowbird, Downy Wood pecker, White-breasted Black Capped Nut Hatch, Hudson's Bay Titmouse, Ruby Crowned Kinglet and Golden Crowned Kinglet.- All these species we saw at a single glance. They flitted about in perfect harmony, the Kinglets frequently poising in front of a bunch of dry leaves to examine it, much after the manner of a hummingbird in front of a flower. Ekgar W. Winass. Bro. Watson Offers Some Suggestions, Hood River, Dec. 27, 901. Editor Glacier: Christmas day we had fresh, crisp turnips, lettuce and radishes from our outdoor garden j thermometer 57, temperate! while a few hundred miles east of us flocks of sheep and cattle and herdsmen as well were frozen to death. Why this difference? They were be vond the mystic influences of the warm, life-giving inflow of the Japan ocean current all along the Pacific coast. Starting at San Diego, thence north to Victoria, B. C, the pride of our British cousins, a distance of 1,800 miles, and where is there another equable climate like it on the continent? But little win ter the entire distance, beginning at San Diego with the tropical and semi-tropical as you go north for the first 600 miles, then on to Vancouver, B. C, are grown all the cereals, vegetables and fruits to the greatest possible perfection. The scenic beauty and matchless forests of valuable timber nowhere equaled on the globe. No pen picture can convey any adequate idea to the mind of man ; it must be 'seen to be appreciated. Just now the attention of tne people of this coast and the world in general is being directed to the importance of the Lewis and Clark centennial exposition, to lie held at Portland in 19 5, and certainly nostioton earth has so many, natural advantages as the peninsula between Portland and Vancouver. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the timely arrival of those two fearless nav igators in the final settlement of San Juan boundary line between this and the mother country. At that date, and long after California was a Spanish prov ince, and Oregon then embraced all of Washington and Idaho; in fact, the Rockv Mountains were her eastern and the Russian possessions her northern boundary. Our history and growth measures but fifty years, but what mar velous development. What of the next fifty or one hundred and fifty? Who can predict its future? Here the A g'atic and the European races meet; here, with the completion of the Nicaragnan canal, the battle for commercial suprem acy will be; here the great cities of the world will be built. Now let us emulate the proverbial hospitality of California, who thereby always makes a success of all her public gatherings. Call a congress of hotel and transportation lines, establish liv ing rates and no more, and so advertise to the world the most powerful of all forces that mold public opinion. With-' out its aid no enterprise can succeed. I.et this congress arrange for cheap ex cursions from Portland down the Colum bia to Astoria and out to sea; to Pnget sound and British Columbia; to Califor nia by way of the Willamette valley, passing under the shadow of Mt. Shasta; and up the Columbia to the Inland Em pire, ami even to the summits of our grand old snow peaks, Adams and Hood. Wm. 1'ksm Watko.n. White Salmon Side. L.

The athletic boys of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip have accepted challenge from the Portland Y. M. C.A for a game of basket hall to be played in that city sometime in February. The Hood River toys will practice for the next two months under the direction of Rev. H. C. Shaffer, and should be able to make a good showing against the eth cient Portlanders. Such meets are pro duetiveof good results and the athletic boys w ill probably have more ot them in the near future. 'The second floor of the gymnasium has been fitted up with good floor giving a room space 3H x 50 feet. The room is not obstructed by posts as is the first floor, and is a inost excellent place to play the game of bas ket ball. Ttie tirotherliood expect soon to fit up the first floor of the gymnasium with appliances for hot and cold baths and to partition off part for a reading room. Additional appuancesanu equip ment will be added as the funds of the society will permit. Roll of Honor.

Is soon to remove to larger quarters, and having bought extensively for next spring and summer, we are anxious to turn every winter garment, in fact all stock on hand, into cash, as we believe in show ing new, stylish goods each season to be the only way to attract trade and retain customers. Now, this has been a mild season, very little warm goods sold, hence we mean to make such price reductions as will force goods out even though the process is a losing one for us. BLANKETS, JACKETS, OVEHCOATS, CLOTHING, SHOES, UNDERWEAR, CAPES, READY-MADE WAISTS, WOOL HOSIERY, DRESS GOODS, etc., All cut deeply, and many other lines which lack of space will not permit of mention. SHOES! SHOES! Special attention given to reducing stock on Shoes, as we are put ting in lines for spring and summer which we must have money to pay for, and we are w illing to suerilice our profit and even lose money on these goods rather than carry over stock until next fall. We have not had facilities for giving our Shoe Department any prominence ; many people even do not know wo carry shoes; we have been so busy selling other lilies. But now we mean to sell SHOES, if there are any shoes selling. We have good wearing, well fitting, swell looking, sterling values, and we absolutely stand behind EVERY PAIR sold, notwithstanding reduced prices. Loggers' Shoes from $2.80 up Dress Shoos from 1.5(1 up Ladies' Shoes from 1.1(5 np Boys' Shoes, cobblers' enemy, EVERY PAIR GUARAN TEED, No. 2'a' toS'i 1.00 Infants', Childs' and Misses' shoes all reduced.
