Xeod Iftver Glacier THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1903. Hood River Puts it Over Dufur. If it liadn't been for the fateful 0th inning, what a sorry looking score it would have been for the Dufur nine last Sunday. With a record of 12 to 1, and 7 goose epgs all in a row for the visitors, Ilood Hiver went to pieces. The Dufur boys began to find Haynes' curves and landed safe hits far out in the pines. There were several bad errors and the gray jackets added 8 runs to their solita ry score. Jiut Hood River didn't com plain. It was a great game and a glo rious victory. The boys never did play better ball, and everybody in Hood Riv er was happy. Dufur was first at the bat in the in itial inning, and through an error by Fabric, Covey scored a run. Hood River took a chance and drew three tal lies, DeWitt, C. Castner and Sheets safely crossing the home plate. In the second chapter, Haynes at the slab, handed out some hot ones and Dufur won a goose egg. L. Haynes scored for Hood River, and the sidelines went wild. Neither side could score in the third. In the 4th, First Baseman Fabric,with the aid of the fielders, Pitcher Haynes and Short Stop Sheets, did some neat stunts and the three Dufur men who started for the first station found their passage blocked. Then it was the home sympathisers realized Hood River was playing magnificent ball. J. Castner, by a sacrifice strike got Charles to sec ond, and in a few minutes DeWitt hiked home for the 6th scoro, Bheets made another talley for Davidson and the record was (i to 1. Dufur failed con secutively to hind on Haynes, and Fa bric opened the chapter for Hood River by a pretty drive to left Held, which net ted him clear pasfago to the second sta tion, while Haynes loped in for a tally. In the titii canto oecurred a pretty double play, (iufford's grounder was gathered in by the pitcher, who put the sphere to second, where Charley Castner cooked the goose for his man, and land ed the ball in Fabric's hands at the in itial suck in time for another out. It was a fine piece of work, very neatly manipulated. Mulkins' fly to second sent his team to grass. Hood River in turn picked up everything within reach of the plate, but all three men failed to reach first. Haynes amused himself with Ilngan and let Vunderpool make first. Heisler mixed his feet with the ball in the trail and took the bench. Fabric was there with the goods and Gulford dropped for the third out. When Hood River took a hand Johnny Castner drove a safe fly THE DALLES WILL Celebrate the Fourth This Year in Royal Style. Nothing will be left undone to make this the most successful event of its kind ever carried out here. All patriotic Americans are requested to meet with us and assist in fittingly observing this, the grand est day in American history, July 4th. Bring Your Families. Come and En joy Yourselves.

Sheets repeated but MUiKins naa waaeu up uu nnlv one base was made. Haynes' grounder got him to first and Castner home, f abrics ny to leu pui mm uui. Sheets stole a base and a grounder by L. Havnesoot Rov to third. Davidson batted a three-sacker and L. Haynes was home for the third score that inning. DeWitt's ball reached first before him and Dufur went to bat. Covey found one, but Haynes and Fabric were too much for him. L. Haynes made a pretty running cateh in the center field. He fell down, but the ball was right side up. Mulkins and Evans covered second and third, but Sheets gathered in Hagan's fly and there was no Bcore. C. Castner got first on a grounder to the left. Johnny had one strike coming. He landed a three-bagger among the pines, his broth er scored, and he got home on Sheets. Fabric's grounder put Sheets out on a forced run, and L. Haynes' fly was gathered up at center. The ninth and fateful chapter began with Hasan taking first on balls. He stepped from the sack a moment and Fabric had him out. Vanderpool winged a two-bagger. Sheppard got to first, Vanderpool scored and Dufur stock took a brace. The visitors scored some more and Hood River went to pieces. Dufur did some good work and snook out eight tallies. The visitors gave three hearty cheers for Hood River, and Sen Fouts advanced through the crowd with a crate of fine red strawberries, by which he eased the pangs of defeat for the Dufurites and presented them with the compliments of Joseph Purser, proprietor of Hardscrabble ranch.

Dakln. . WILL PLAY GOLDENDALE JULY 4. Hood River will cross bats with the Goldendale nine, at Ooldendale, July 4. This nine has twice defeated the crack Wasco team, and a good game is ex pected. Although Hood River is not counting on a victory, the boys propose to do their best, and if the game is not theirs, the Goldendale players will at least know they have been in a game. A large crowd will go from Hood River to see the game. An excursion has been arranged so that the round trip can be made in one day at a fare of $2.25. The Maja will carry passengers to and from Lyle, making connections there with Si A- the Columbia River road. A Northern rail- Help the Ball Team with Cash. For the past two or three games the expenses of the Hood River baseball nine have exceeded the receipts from the sale of tickets, and the deficit has had to be supplied by those who have already spent a great deal of time and money in getting the team in shape, in managing the nine and arranging games. This imposes an unjust burden on a few of the chief promoters of the sport. Why can't the expense be more evenly distributed? From 400 to 500 people see the game .every Sunday, while it takes the hardest kind of work to find buyers for 200 tickets. Stop for a mo' ment and consider if that fellow isn't pretty "small" who will watch the game everv Sunday and vet refuse to buv a 25c ticket. Just because you can, don't try to see the game for nothing and force those who have already contribu ted liberally to also pay for your day's spoil, ray your snare ana buy a tick et. Hood River's ball team receives less and asks for less than any of the neigh boring teams. Of the excursionists who come here every Sunday, they all leave more or less money behind them, and if these games are to be continued, the boys must be supported better than they have been. We all like to see a ball game and to see Hood River win. So let's all buy tickets and help the boys put. Manager Reed of the Dufur team took his boys to Hood River yesterday to cross bats with the team at that place. This game resulted in the visitors lieing defeated in a score of 12 to 9 and the sensational part of it all was that Dufur made eight of her 9 tallies in the ninth inning, and by so doing saved them selves from a stunning defeat. The trip down was made on the steamer Dalles City and in spite of the fact that they were not victorious the Dufurites were well pleased, having had a verv en joyable day and speak highly of the Kindness extended to them by the Hood River people. Chronicle. Rural Hail Service. Hood River, June 30, 1903. Editor Glacier: Thin rapid distribution of mail In the rural districts is one of the great est Innovations of our time. In its con ception it was to peculiarly benefit the large masses people outside the cit ies and daily biliiK to them the current events, and keep them in close touch wan all the interests that are mutual to an enlightened people. While this system was largely an ex periment In the beginuing, the results were so beneficial that an Intense de- sire was created to have it extended to all compact neighborhoods, and to this end appeals were made to bring this service to our doors. That, from a financial standpoint, the system has been extended at a loss, is evidenced by the Increasingly large appropriations by congress to annually meet the def icit. It is Impossible to please ail minds In the operation or details of the ser vice. There are defects, as a matter of course, Incident to its development and the peculiar condition of districts. But Unas passed the experimental stage, and we should be hopeful of still great er success. Hood River came in earlv In rweiv- Ing the benefits that our famous Uncle ' Sam was pleased to bestow upon us, and we have been blessed richly in the service. To part with it now would cause a mighty cry of opposition, and while we have been made to realize that seriou9 difficulties have arisen be cause of the' meager salary heretofore affixed by the government for carriers, yet this should be no cause for discour agement, because the eovernment ha Lalready twice advanced the pnv from c nm fe'iin . i . ir ctw I,, fiw yri jt-Hi, anu ine writer has faith to believe that the emergency will soon be met again, making the same a just amount for well rendered service. As it now is, the position or a carrier goes begging, and the vacancy will not be filled till something is done to make the pay a sufficient induce ment for young, energetic men to stay with It. Had it not been for the help of our postmaster at Hood River, to keep the service afloat, we should have had to face the crisis some time ago. The post office work Is for the most part a thankless one. There are those ready to kick at' the least mistake or delay. The handling of thousands of pieces of mail daily, the multitude of boxes In w hich this must be placed, the numerous questions asked that de mand attention, all these tax the mind, body and patience until the wonder Is that there t tv few mistakes. The heat and dust of summer, the rough roads, the rain, mow and mud of win ter, six days in the week and the year through, this is no "soft snap" for any one, nor is any one to be fount! who will do the work for bis healih.t And the pay well, it is Just about half pay, and you and I would figure It so if we had the "drill" ourselves. i All praise to the men who have .thus 'far sacrificed, and while we can1 not substantially sympathise with pus t car riers because of our well-drained pursed. yet we can provide ior the present, tn, the government can come to our aid, We want men to stay with the service and be our servants, but not our slaves. While we annreciate a dailv mail, there are few of us who recognize all there is fn this matter, nor can we do so unless we take the job ourselves. Some would kick their Unc!e S. be- cause he does not make ample provis ion at once to meet all expenses inci dent to locality and extended service. Such should consider that it takes time and much study of conditions and ac tual trial to obtain definite data fbr a proper basis to regulate the whole sys tem. Under the present arrangesient city carriers get l00 per annum and a monthly allowance extra for horse hire, where such is required. This J am told amounts to something over $-00 rjer vear. Home such arranirement will doubtless be brought about in the near future to assist rural carriers by mak ing the provision ample for varying conditions. Horse flesh is high, aud a few months or a year at most of iteady drag knocks out the animal for such work or much else, and there ore no green pastures ready to recuperate the floor beasts, and so the carrier1 must ose from start to finish. From two to four are needed for the varying condi tiods of roads, vehicles and size of an imals for a year's run. Constant and careful shoeing is necessary; and this alone is quite an item. And then the feed well, you horse owners that have to buy everything, I will leave you to figure the bill that yon would have to settle at the end of the year for such animr.ls to be mercifully fed. Then the vehicles. Well, the carrier should be well equipped for his own comfort. He has no time to use a "lazy back," but a 25-mile ride every day Is not rest ful to most anatomies, especially over the hills and rocks of this section. And then be must be protected from the weather to maintain average health, and also to protect the valuable matter that we like to have fresh and clean. This Is an Item equal to half of the horse proposition, and like the horse, will wear out and need repairs. It looks as if a round thousand were scarcely sufficient to Induce a proper person to engage in the service. And if he have a family well. Uncle Sam doesn't consider such things, hutiu the writer's judgment, the above sum would leave very small margins for more than the necessaries of life. We have been grateful for the offered services of a carrier in our extremity at an extra $200. We have done well to raise this sum, but he has to buy ev erything to begin with. Figure this out of the pay, then deduct the ex penses of the year. The balance looks pretty small, doesn't it, to live on? Well, let's do a liltle better and start our man right. We are trying to pur chase the wagon that is as so much dead property on the hands of a former caniur who cannot afford to make us a present of it and turu it over to our coming servant. I know we don't like to "dig up" this way, but the writer h confident that we shall not feel the loss at the end of the year. Ho if you have not subscribed to this end, step into the bank; the accommodating cashier will examine your conscience in the mut ter, if you haven't, and will give you due ciedit for your deposit. We'll ask Uncle Sam to do this next time. C. A. Wyman, Route No. 1. R. F. 1). Mo. 1 Resumes. Operations. Harry Bailey began Tuesday morning as mail carrier on R. F. D. No. I, and the Eastsiders are again receiving a dai ly mail, after the absence of the service for nearly a week. The patrons of the route raised by subscription about $200, which has been deposited in the bank to the credit of the route. That the route is again in operation is due to the work of C. A. Wyman, C. L. Copple, John Crosby, Robert Harbison, Sears & rorter, lroy Shelley and oth ers, who spent several days in calling upon the patrons of the route, and se curing cash subscriptions enough to in sure the carrier living wages. ROUTE NO 2 WILL RAISE $200. "We are going to ask each patron of R. F. D. route No. 2 to contribute $1 toward a fund which w ill insure the con tinuance of the route," said J. II. Shoe maker to a tilacier man last Saturday. iiiere are 210 boxes on ttie route. Of course there are some who can t be counted on to help in the matter, but we ought to raise $200 anyway. This sum will be placed in isntler & Co s bank to the credit of the route, with the stipula tion that the carrier be allowed a certain amount each month." "You may tell your readers," contin ued Mr. Shoemaker, "that if they are being served by free mail delivery on route No. 2, they will be called upon to contribute. We don't propose to over look anybody." Daily Mail to Mount Hood. Beginning Monday, July 6, Mount Hood will be served by a daily mail, Sunday excepted. The daily service will also include all who live along the mail route from Willow Flat to the Mount Hood post office, which means some 80 people. Oscar Fredenburg will continue as mail carrier. Mail will leave the Hood River poet office at 12 : 30 p. m. and reach Mount Hood about . iu the aiternoon. leaving Mount Hood in morning the mail will reach Hood River by 10:30 o'clock. this wilt prove a great convenience to the Mount Ilood people aud shows that this settlement is filling up rapidly. Heretofore, Mount Hood has had a mail three times a week. Some 300 people are benefitted by the improvement. Burglar Enters Dr. Watt' Residence. A burglar entered the residence of Dr. J. F. Watt, on State street, Thurs day night and secured $7 or $S from the pockets of the doctor's trowsers. The knight of the dark lantern entered by a front window, went up stairs and took the doctor's trowser's from a chair be side his bed. They were found the net morning near the parlor window, with nothing missing but the loose cash. Mr. Burglar made himself perfectly at home, by eating a good lunch in the pantry. A hundred dollari worth of silverware was within reach, but he had no use for it, and left on the table the spoon he had used. Dr. Watt says he remem bers being awakened during the night, but being very sleepy gave no attention to the noise. This is his first experience of the kind, and the first time he ever had anything stolen, although he hat been careless about locking windows and doors. Improvement to Electric Light FUnU N. C. Evans, general manager of the Hood River Electric Light, Water and I'ower company has a force of 7 men at work building a wing dam in Hood River just above the electric power house. This dam is to be a quarter mile lone, and will be constructed of rock. By means of a derrick, sand bag? are hoisted into the stream, aud rocks piled around them.

For the past two weeks the power supply for the dynamo has been impaired by the operation of the logging splash dams on the head waters of the stream, and this wing dam is in tended to overcome this difficulty. The Klectric Light company is now supplying between 30,000 and 40,000 candle power in Hood River. This is almost the full capacity of the 00 horse power dynamo, and means that a new and larger generator will have to be put in before long. The dam now in course of construction will cost $200.
