Royersford, Pennsylvania, February 11, 1903. Editor Glacier: In your issue of January 30, 1903, 1 notice the item the first strawberries of the season which, to say the least, is .rushing the season a little. Sow I have always con sidered II. C. B. one of my rival friends and would not wish to think - that he would take undue advantage of his Washington competitors. Yet he must be aware of the fact that I was at the time he gathered those berries and am yet at this writing in Pennsylvania, and so was not at home to take care of the first strawberries which I feel sure must have ripened on my place earlier than on his, as they always do. Before I left home about Christinas I noticed a great many large and well formed berries, and anybody familiar with strawberries knows that it does not take an almost full grown berry 30 days to ripen, and by this method of reason ing I come to the conclusion that I would have had the first berries as usual had 1 been at home to see to their gathering. But losing the cup (his season will only be a spur to greater vigilance and re newed efforts. Respectfully yours, 8. C. Zkiulkk. Rural Telephone System. We, the undersigned citizens of Hood River valley, feeling the need of inter communication, and believing that the people themselves should undertake to ' supply this need, have signed a call for a meeting of all the residents of Hood River and valley, who are interested in establishing a system of rural telephones throughout the valley, to meet at A. 0 U. W hall iu Hood River at 1 o'clock p. m. on Saturday, February 21. We wish to add, that this is your business as well as ours, and want you to come and start the ball rolling in the interest of home telephones. The people of Wil lamette valley have taken hold of this matter and are not only installing tele phones throughout the country districts, hut are connecting the various towns in the valley. .

Hood River ia promised another good entertainment next Thursday evening, February 2. Professor M. G. steel's moving picture concert will be here on 1 that date, under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World. This is not to be classed with the ordinary picture shows, but is one of the best clean, high class entertainments, endorsed by prom inent public men and women and the Jress. We copy from the Oregonian of an nary 2, as follows: , ... "The entertainment given last night at the Taylor-street M.-E. church, un der tho auspices of the Woodmen of the World, was pronouncd by those who witnessed it to be the finest ever seen in Portland. The building wnB packed to the "Btanding-room-only" point, and more than 300 people turned away. Be fore 8 o'clock, the hour set for tho open ing, the doors were cloned against fur ther admittance. Among the moving pictures shown were King Edward's cor ouatioo procession, the "JJIack Diamond Express," Battle of Mafeking, and a pigeon farm ,at 1-os Angeles, showing 20,000 birds in motion. , Tho . pigeon picture was so natural that ono irL was heard to deelare that she heard the birds' wings flutter." t. ..tt There will "be scones 'depicting the humorous phases of life, sacred art, pathos and tragedy, a regular melange of amusing, entertaining and instructive demonstrations,..,.

A reprMntatlve of the Glade, uude a personal luspectlou of the extensive plant of tho Davidn Fruit Co., one of the lUbHtantial hiHtttutlons of Hood; River. Just now the force is husv a: been Iu that portion of their establish ment devoted to the manufacture of Kerry ooxea ami crates, we were shown through the various depart- iiieuts by A. P.

Then there are the cities and towns lit the northwest boys who nail up Hie crates. We can t begin to tell how fast they drive in the nails, hut will say that three and four hundred crates is just an average days' work for each of them. Mr. Bateham informed us (bat owing to the rapid growth of the company's business they found it necessary to en large their quarters, and with this in view they have purchased the large red warehouse owned by the Hood River Trading Co. and will move the big building at once to ils new position, joining the east end of the ennnery and office building. This will give them 12,000 additional square feet of floor space, which was much needed. The company contemplates other im provements in their canning depart ments, but they will come along later, when the big building is firmly estab lluhprt The Davidson Fruit Co. will (jave have something of interest to say through the columns of the Glacier to the eople or Hood Kivery vauey. Look out for it. California Apple Land $500 Per Acre. Mr. and Mrs. Ilennugin's recent visit to California was a return to Mr. Hennagin's old limue near Woodland. They also visited relatives at Sacra mento and at other nearby towns. Mr. Heniiagin left Woodland for Oregon 24 years ago and of course found great changes in the country roundabout that place. Wheat growing has given way to fruit growing almost entirely. Their citrus fruits arid choice fruits of other varieties were very fine, but he looked in vain all the time he was away for a good apple. The average Californian is just provincial enough to beiieve that everything grown there beats the world, una whenever lie torn them that the scrubby little apples he saw offtred for sale were nothing but eider apples, he met with derision and was informed that in the matter of apple growing Oiegonians would have to "go way back and sit down." As the land on which California apples are grown is valued at $500 pur acre and upwards, he wonders what value they would put on it if they could turn out such apples as were exhibited Inst fall at our Hood River fair. In Pleasant Valley, near Winters, he saw a specimen of terrace furming which was a revelation to him In hill Hide farming. A s(CHi) mountainside which had proved well adapted to mm had been plowed down iu terraces j tint the right width for a row of trees. Trees planted on these benchex and terraces were thrifty and profitable and were said to be easy to work. Mr. Heriuagh) thinks the day is coming when the mountain slopes around our valley will all be cultivated iu the same muiiner. G. A. It. and W. It. C. The meetings of Canby Post and Re lief Corps, last Saturday, were well at tended. After the post meeting clofed the members were invited into the room of the Relief Corps to partake of a dainty lunch prepared and served by the ladies. A birthday surprise was given Comrade Blythe by the presenta tion to him of a neut. Grand Army badge in miniature by the members of the post. Captain J. r. bhaw did the grand iu an eloquent address and pinned the badge on his comrade's lanel. Mrs. E. L. Smith made a neat little speech ou behalf of the Relief Corps. The Relief Corps is flourishing. Three members, who have not been fraternizing for a year or more, return ed to the fold at the meeting Saturday. This noble band of loyal women the Canby Relief Corps calls upon their sisters throughout the valley to join with them iu this auxiliary work. hverv civil war veteran should wear the Grand Army button, and every loval woman should give aid and com fort to the old soldiers by joining the i tU'liet Uorps.

Tho results following the construc tion of good roads are well illustrated in the case of a certain town iu 1ml lana which some years ago was noted for its poor roads. In this county two towns wei rivals, IhiIIi heing euunlly distant from a line agricultural section Iu order to get the inland trade one of these tow im conceived the idea of huild ing one mile of good road ayeartoward that section. The first year one mile of road was built, and so obvious were the results that three mora miles were at once built by private subscription Travel and trade increased in a large volume, and the next year seven miles or good hard road appeared, lodav almost alt the roads leading into the town are improved, and It is an tin portan t trading center for the farmers The rival town is practically dead. The moral is ptntn good roads pay American Farmer. The Loral Commercial Organization A useful force in all the cities and towns of the northwest is the local commercial orvainzalion which f made up of the wide awake and enter prising omens, wining and eager to do something fur the community, i ney may oe caiieu cnaniiiera otcoui ". I ..I . .. ... vlutm the aim and the object ia the same, and they can accompli-di great good for the locality from which the membership ia taken A good deal that has been done hv the many thriving places in the north' j wet would never have been done had it not been done by some rt of organ- Izatlon among the busine men. In. dividual etiort is of value, but it ran secure the best results only when well directed slid it is this eKsential direction that is obtained through organization or (lie uusint'ss mvn ! iiiloseomnieivial bodv. Enerirles that where the commercial organizations have become the most potential agency for progress and upbuilding. Every locality must "blow its own horn" a little; it must let the world know of its resources and attractions; it must show strangers what it has worth seeing and what inducement it offers to the visitor seeking a new home. It can give a welcome to cap ital and secure new industries; it can unite scattered efforts into one large effort that brings results. All of the ebambere of commerce, boards of trade and commercial clubs may not be doing all that they should be doing for the communities they represent, but they all have possibilities in the natter of advancing local interests. If they are made up of bright.energetic men, and are wisely directed.they can be of inestimable value to the localities they represent. Spokesman-Review. Church Notices. Catholic Services.

Measured in thought transmission this old planet is no bigger than a dot Steam and electrical, pneumatic ana nyaraunc inventions, have so annihilated space that there is but a small earth to clam ber over. According to Doctor Emory R. Johnson, professor of transportation in the University of Pennsylvania, it takes steps only one-fifth, as long to get around the world to day as itdid in 1800. In the sunrise ot the century it took an but sixtv-five days in the year to get once arou'nd the world. That was when men traveled in sailboats, post chaise, on horseback and on foot. Ocean steam ers came in 1838, and they cut the an cient time table in two, for then it took onlv 160 davs to embrace the girdle of mother earth.
