Another Brick Building for Hood Hirer, Hood River la to have another brick business bouse. Hon. E. L. Smith has let the contract (or the erection of a . 15.000 brick structure tn hn cnmnlntn1 by November 1, and to be occupied by William M. Stewart as a hanlwurn ami furniture store. The building will be ucaieu on me soutneaet comer of the block bounded by Second and State streets, and will be 50x100 feet in extent. L. D. Koyed secured the contract for the brick work, and began operations jiuiumy morning. - . ( - ' "Mr. ftmitll hair nia.la a tl,rnl, in. vestigation of the business conditions . throughout the West", said William M. Stewart, the honsefumisher, when ap- . pruauneu oy a umcier reporter, "and Will PmnhnnixA Villi ntmrtot AAnAdanna in the future of Hood Eiver by theerec- nuii oi uie most extensive improve ment yet contemplated. Details of con struction are In my hands, and when the building is completed I expect to occupy 1t with an extensive, stock of general hardware, building material, utiiuio, uiih, giasg, sioves, tinware, furniture and general house furnishings.

Mr. Stewart is also preparing for the erection of a handsome dwelling house on hig property adjoining Judd Fergu son's on State street. This with his brick store will add materially to the thriftv annenrnnra nf tha trun f Stewart was for nine years manager of uig wiiumsaie sieei wire establishment in Portland, and during this time his extensive travels over five of the west ern states enabled him to investigate and to take advantage of every possible business opening. His final location in Hood KiveHs proof of his confidence in the tuture of the town. Mr. Stewart says he will try to reverse the basket and egg story by putting every possible dollar into Hood River, and his22 years experience along the lines now handled by him should insure good results. Irrigating Facilities for the East Side. The farmers of the East Side at last have water for irrigation. C. R. Bone, manager of the East Side Irrigation company was in town Saturday, and stated that his ditch has now, reached Tom Lacey's place, about four miles from town. Fifteen nien have been at work on the ditch since early this spring and have completed seven or eight miles of the main. The present force is five men, and operations for the present year will cease September 1. The ditch is running a full head of water, and the farmers along the route are gaining the free use of water for the rest of the summer. This East Side ditch is some 20 miles in length and is one of the- most for midable enterprises accomplished in the valley. The headgate of the ditch is about a mile above the toll bridge on the cost fork. Extending along the base of Bald Butte, the canal passes inrougn tne aiviue at Jake Lens's place and thence through Art Rhode's across the divide into Neal creek. The water is taken out of Neal Creek at Merrill's place and then skirts the foot hills of the East Side, crossing The Palles road at Bob Robertson's place. ' 'The ditch is completed through Bob Robertson's plane to a point directly above Tom Lacey's," remarked Mr. Bone, "and next 'spring water can be supplied to the farmers south of W. V. Johnson's place. Water is now flowing in the ditch and is going to waste on the hill sides and in the rocky canyons. The East Side lateral can carry 200 inches of water, but this can be in creased three fold by a few hundred dollars additional expense. This though will not be done unless more water is contracted for than the present capacity, 200 inches, "The Willow Flat extension carries nboutthe same amount of water and baa been supplying the settlers in that locality all summer. One thing re markable about this new ditch is the fact that water has been flowing con tinuously since . April 1, there being no stoppage on account of weak points in the ditch.'' Feasible Plan for a Wharf. "Hood River could have a good wharf by au expenditure of $2,000," re marked Captain J. 8. Bagley, of thq steam tug Maja, the other day while conversing on the subject with a Gla cier man. "Such a wharf could lie built on the island at the mouth of Hood river. By dredging the channel of Hood river for llhout a quarter of g mile to the Colum bia at low-water mark, an excellent passage could be made for admitting steamboats to ft dock on the Island. A little blasting could 1 done near the railroad bridge, which would turn the water of Hood river Into one main stream and would furnish sufficient current to keep the channel to the Col umbia open and navigable all the year round, excepting perhaps during high water, when a little .dredging would make it clear again. "Driving piling and laying a plank road from the railroud track to a wharf on the island would not be much of an undertaking. The whole thing ought npt to exceed in cost over couple of thousand dollars, And by the way, ilia tow n authoritits ought to be able to secure the use of the government dredge lying Idle most of the year at Cascade Locks. "The little town of Clatskanie, on the Lower Columbia, made just such a channel for getting the boat landing nearer the city, and down there the channel is three miles long and so nar row that the steamers have to back their way out. If Clatskanie can do this, Hood Hiver can. - It's a big draw back to our tow u not "to have a good wharf. When a stranger is landed In he mud haf a mile fro))) town, he gets an adverse impression not 'easily over come." WtMO County Teaehers' Institute. The Wa-o county teachers' annual Institute will convene in the assembly hall of tha high school bufldiug at The Dalles, Wednesday inotnilig, August 27, and continue through to Friday evening of the same week.

Lealii Butler, president of But ler & Co's bank, returned Tuesday night from a 'six week's visit to Skagwav. Alaska. He reports present conditions in our northern possession as pretty much flattered, and thinks that today there are great deal better chances for young men in Oregon than in the mm ing districts of Alaska. "Oregon is good enough lor me, remarked Mr. Butler, "and I am better pleased with it every time I visit some other counrty." "There is no encouragement for Americans to go to Alaska, continued Mr. Butler. The town of Dyea, which at one time had a population of 3,000 or 4,oou, is today entirely deserted, with not a family left in this once bustling city. In Skagway there are probably not to exceed 1,U0U people, and more than half the houses are unoccupied. Seven teen of the business firms of that town are closing out of business and getting ready to leave the place. Indications are that not more than 200 or 300 peo ple will winter there. , i "As the railway between Skagway and Dawson is owned and operated by English capitalists, all rulings are made in favor of Canadians, and against the American shippers. These discrimina tions are verv flagarant, and the railway is in bad repute in both Canadian and American, territory. With the exorbitant freight rates into the interior there doesn't seem to be any chance for Skagway unless some new mines are developed in the immediate vicinity. At Juneau mining ia going on as it has for a number of years, with the prospects ;wu i"r an muiuniuj continuation, since removing the government offices irom bitka to Juneau that place has received a dacided advantage. "Taking the entire proposition from a mining standpoint the future of the country depends entirely on discoveries to be made. Many who are sanguine think there is a great future from a mining standpoint. There is heine a. great deal of prospecting and develop ing work done in the interior, and should there be enough .business in the tuture to warrant the building of a railroad from Cook's Inlet to the Yukon river through American territory it will no doubt aid the facilities on the lower Yukon to make chances very much better in that country.", 1 Mt. Hood Notes. Jacob Waconblast has begun running liis hay baler. He has a good crop of hay this year. Joseph Diramick is hauling lumber to build a house on his homestead above China hill. Dr. and Mrs. M. F. Shaw spent a few days at Mount Hood last week. While here the doctor bought 100 acres of land of N. J. Devoid. They will make this place their home after next April.' Ev ery one Joins in welcoming Dr. and Mrs. haw to Mount Hood. In passing P. F. Fonts' ranch one can see that the old man has been at work this summer. He has built an addition to his barn 30x36 feet, with 16 foot posts, and stable room underneath. His barn 48 full of clover and timothy bay, which will 'necessitate the baling of his second crop of clover. Mr. Fouts would like to sell or rent his place, as Mrs. Fouts' health is not good here. He wants to go to the Sound country for a year or. two. There have been several sales of land in this valley lately at good figures. I. G. Fischer sold his ranch; James Wishart sold 80 acres; David Wishart 80 acres; W. H. Edick and Bert Sand man 80 acres; N. J. Devoid 100 acres, the latter at $22 per acre, f P. F. Knudson and Douglas Riggs went to The Dalles last week as wit nesses for C. P. Johansen, ' who com muted on his homestead. Mr. Johan sen will continue to improve his claim and intends to sot an orchard and to clear hay land. The Lost Lake Lumber company has started the logging camp on the East Fork, below the dam. The company is also putting in a 24-foot opening in the dam, by which it will be able to flood out anything in the river. L. Runaway and Siiiashup. A horse hitched to a top-buggy and left standing Dear the post office, Wed nesday night of last week , took, French leave for home, and tiefore getting there managed to free himself from the buggy. The horse belonged ' to J. A. Cook, who lives a couple of miles out of town. It started for home about 9 o'clock, went up Oak street to the school house hill, pud then south to tho bill above town. Here it started to run at)d wound up by smashing the buggy among the pine trees near E. It, Bradley 'a residence. G. J. Gessling saw the horse pass his house, and see ing no one in the buggy, started tn pursuit. After fetching up with the wreck, he concluded some one must be hurt, and spent a couple of hours searching the woods with his neigh bors trying to find the owner of the horse. By telephoning to town he found Mr. Cook, and felt relieved that tilings were no worse. The damage done was net serious. , Hood River's Cigar Factory. Among Hood River's various enter- n.iiuia la a Mtrar lartnrv tnrntni? nnt. from 350 to 400 cigars a day.' A. Y hite- head, recently nere irom vanion, Ill inois, is proprietor of the factory and assisted by frana yuin, air. nniieneaa te kept busy twisting the Juicy weed into choice well made - cigars. Mr. Whitehead has been located here since early in March, and he says his business since then has been gratifying, the de mand even keeping ahead of the supply. The "New License" is the special brand turned out by Mr. Whitehead. The tmiokers of Hoot River know a good cigar whep they lee it, and the New License has found a ready sale here. Nothing but the best grades of domestic and im ported tobacco are used in it manufacture, and a better cigar for the price to n not be found in the market. In connection with his factory, Mr. Whitehead keeps a cigsr, confectionery and fruit stand. Look I'le issnt, Please. Photographer C. C. Harlan, of Eaton, O., can do so now, though for years he couldn't, because he suffered untold agony from the worst from of indigest ion. All physicians and medicines failed to hep him till he tried Electric Bitters, which worked auph wonders for him that he declare they are a godsend to sufferers from dysiepcia and stomach troubles. Unrivaled for diseases of the stomach, liver and kidnevs, they build up and give new life to the whole sys tem. Try them. Only 50c. Guaranteed, by 'has. N. Clarke, drnggist. Read th ad ol tha new Spot Cash grocery. Someone passing himself, at a repre sentative for Babbager, photographer, was in Hood River one day last week. Several Hood Riverites are wiser but poorer thereby. The impostor sold 50 cent coupons for photographs, claiming that his employer was at the depot with a sjecial car ready to open up a gallery in town, and that by presenting the coupon and an additional 50 cents the holder of the same could obtain a dozen cabinet photographs and an enlarged picture. The scheme was a "grand in trod uc tory affair," and only a limited number of coupons were to be sold Several people paid 50 cents for a con pon, but failed afterward to find the photographer. . . - . William Rogers, the Hood River pho tographer, is making preparations lor an extensive enlargement of his gallery on Third street. An addition of 25 feet will be built on the rear and a general renovation made in the present quarten. This improvement will give him a com modious and well arranged photograph gallery. Mr. Rogers obtained some excellent photographic views of Mount Hood while at Lost lake last month. Some of the pictures present a unique appearance, with a foreground border of vines auu uusnes, me camera imviug been placed in the bushes at the edge of the lake. i Mrs. E. D. Calkins was given a pleas ant surprise party Tuesday, by a num ber of her friends and neighbors.

Iowa ; Miss J W Jenkins, Ohio; Miss M A Lakin, Indiana; Mies E Coats, Ohio; Mrs J W Forbes, Iowa ; Mrs J W. Rig by, Pennsylvania. The Prather Investment company dis plays an enterprising spirit in advertis ing Hood River, by having printed on the back of the company's business en velopes in red ink: "Hood Kiver, Oregon, the land of strawberries and big red apples a healthful climate, pure water, and beautiful scenery." This is an idea that could be profitably carried out by all our business men. Every business letter leaving the town could, at a trifle of expense, be made in this manner to yield big advertising returns. The Hood River blackberry crop this summer is very short. . Usually 2,000 or 3,000 crates of the fruit are shipped from Hood Kiver, but this vear less than 200 or 300 crates will be sent out. The cold weather of last winter destroyed the voune vine shoots. There is money in blackberries as there is little expense attached to the growing and the gather ing of the fruit. Miss Alma LeRoy of Portland, is spending a counle of weeks with her sister, Mrs. Will Rand. Miss LeRoy, who for several years has been a teacher in the WilliamB avenue public school, will leave shortly for Boise, Idaho, where she has been made principal of a public school in that city.

Bateham, chairman of the transportation committee of the Hood River fruit fair, was in Portland, Mon day, conferring with A. L. Craig, gen eral passenger agent of the O. R. & N. company, as to reduced railroad fares for attendance at the fruit fair in Hood River, October 8 to 11. Mr. Bateham says General Passenger Agent Craig assured him that reduced rates could be arranged for from Portland and The Dalles. This will tend to at tract a great many people to Hood River for the fair, but Mr. Bateham is anxious to secure a special excursion train from Portland, with a round trip rate of f 1.00. This can be done if the railroad company is granted a guarantee of $2.00. Such a rate properly adver tised ought to draw a large crowd, and the undertaking rightly managed would prove a big thing for Hood River. Excursion Rates to Portland. For the Elk's Carnival at Portland, September 1 to 13, inclusive, 1902, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation com pany win make low excursion rates to Portland and return, selling on dates named, September 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11th with return limit 7 days from date of sale. Fare from Hood River, adults, 13.15, children between 6 and 12 years of age $1.65. These rates include one admis sion to the Carnival. On Wednesday. September 3, one day only, the fare for round trip will be for adults $2.50, and for children $1.30,same conditions as above. All tickets sold will be of the des criptive form requiring signature of purchaser: so come early and avoid the rush. A- N. Hoar, agent. Lookout!!! Aug. 21, 1902.

It Was Fomhd After Thlrly Yeara la a Burled Family Bible. After lying in a man's coffin for more than 30 years a will has been exhumed it Leavenworth, Ind., and its terms are likely to increase a troublesome litiga tion among the heirs of the man who dad the document buried with him, says a local exchange. Jacob Kissinger was the man. The will was found by accident, because, when Kissinger died, although the will was believed to have been made, nobody could find it. So the heirs went to law, and have been at it for three decades. A few days ago a dispute arose which could be cleared up by the family Bible. So the old grave was opened and the Book taken out. It was in a good state of preservation, and when opened, to the surprise of everyone, disclosed the old man's will. By the terras of the document found in the grave, the property of Kissingen was divided equally among five children, one of them a resident of Germany and boi of Kissingen's first wife. And this is where the new trouble begins, None of the four American heirs ever heard of the father's first marriage, and not one of them guessed that he had a brother in Europe. The German heir, of course, has been in ignorance, too, of the existence of his American brothers, and tha property and money bequeathed to him. If he presses his claim now it is said that the four brothers who live here will have quite a hole made in their purses when, they pay hiin what is his by his father's will- ; FIFTY-SIX A DANGER POINT.
