Sale
Also, HORSES, CATTLE, WAGONS, MILLS AND WATER.
The Valley Improvement company have contracted for about all the water they can furnish without enlarging the Hume. In order to enlarge the flume the Davenport Bros, have divided
to sell land to the amount of $GO,000. This will be a bargain in landsand will hold good for 30 days and then will be taken off the market. So you will "have to hurry " if you want some of it.
This sale will include the Barrett Ranch, the best
farm in Hood River valley. Four thousand fruit trees; .
free water for a part of it; contains 180 acres; worth
$20,000, but will sell in a lump for $16,000 cash. Or
we will sell in 5, 10, 15 and 20 acre lots to suit the
purchaser. This is a fine bargain at only $16,000
Also, the famous ranch known as the old E. L.
Smith place, near the Frankton school house. This
place contains 150 acres, with several fine cold springs
on the place, and nearly enough water to irrigate the
entire land.. Only 2 miles from town, with the Frank
ton school on the place, one of the best schools in the .
valley. This place will be sold in small lots and will
all be gone inside of ten days, for $15,000
Next comes the old Van Johnson place, and this
will be included in this bargain sale. Worth $4,000,
but for the cash it will go for 3,000. This place con
tains 40 acres, 25 in clover and timothy, 500 bearing
apple trees, house and barn, nice wood shed, cold spring
at the door, good cellar, small hay barn, all the water
needed for the place from a private ditch from Ditch
creek. You can not afford to miss this at...... $3,000
Also, ten acres from the southeast corner of the old
Sipma place, all cleared and seeded to clover and tim
othy. Plenty of water for irrigating' the entire place,
free. Well worth the price J.L ..$2,000
Another 1G0 acres on Bald mountain, for ...... 2,000
Twelve hundred acres 4 miles from town, worth ten
dollars per acre. We will sell for.............. 8,000
3,300 acres up around Parker Town. This
land will be sold off in 80 and 1G0 acre lote for about
five dollars per acre, or thewholetractforabout..$15,000
M. M. Davenport has 13 acres for sale cheap. lie will
also sell his house and lot, with 8 acres, cheap.
We are not offering this land cheap because we are
hard up, but to help out the Valley Improvement Co. The
deeds to this land are in the name of the Davenport Bros.,
hence there will be no commission. All the lands selected
by them for choice hay lands, as well as apples and straw
berriec, all having free water more or less. These places
are the oldest places taken in Hood River, and are also the
best, as all of them have good cold springs on them.
We also have eight or ten large teams that we willsell
in the next thirty days, including harness and wagons.
Eighty head of cattle in good condition; two complete
saw mills.
Do not think because we are offering to sell that we are
going out of business, for none of this property is included
in our lumber business. The Davenport Bros. Lumber Co.
is incorporated for $5o,ooo, fully paid up. Their large
mill is now cutting 4o,ooo feet per day, and included in
this, besides their mill, is the water flume, timber, planing
mill, lumber, etc. We are sure that this property will be
sold inside of 3o days to men living right here in the val
ley, as the men know the bargains there are in it, and we
are also sure they will not let the outside take up these snaps.
Call on Frank Davendort, in the old bank building,

Some Sound Views Political.
White Salmon, Wash., Sept.7, 1903.
Editor Glacier: Looking at current
events from the viewpoint of one who
has retired from city life to the "rural
deestricks," may I venture a bit of sug
gestion anent the trend of affairs polit
ical? I have been a republican all
my life. Was born that way. Re
member Lincoln's second election,
and the awful solemnity that came over
every patriotic home when he fell the
victim of democratic hatred and disloy
alty. Have in years past been a very
eager advocate of republican principles
and done my part to secure thoir success
at the ballot box.
Ranch life has its advantages as a
place from which to measure men and
events.llere one is out of the "mix up."
The magic circle, sacred to the individ
ual who is its center, here is clearer of
those invisible wires that touch other
men and control individual action, or at
least give direction to one's judgment.
For a whole year and more in a newly
adopted home i have had no voice as an
elector and so have done a little concen
trated thinking.
During the year of my practical dis
franchisement, I have been compelled
to witness on the part of a republican
congress one of the most infamous sur
renders to corporate greed and railroad
dictation ever perpetrated on a people.
The whole Panama canal, proposition
was a sidetracking scheme in which
congressmen and senators betrayed the
country at the dictation of centralized
capital. It was Abraham Lincoln who
understood best of all our statesmen the
heart and underlying purpose of the
common people, and he it was who said
"You cannot fool all the people all the
time." No statesman and no political
party, however entrenched, ever was
able to withstand the deep purpose of
the common people when kindled into
somethine resembling wrath. Again,
in its cowardly attitude towards reason
able and immediate tariff revision, the
dominant element in the republican
party is playing with combustible ma
terial. Every man knows that when he pays
for the commonest necessities of his
home life he contributes a few cents
along with his countrymen to assist the
multi-millionaire to lubricate his device
for selfishly controlling the output of
industry.
That grave tariff abuses exist today
no honest man will question. There
are hut two remedies: Either thereDub-
lican congress will courageously go about
righting the gross wrongs that the whole
country sees or the people will thresh
the republican party and lash its scoun
drels into permanent obscurity.
We have a president of character and
high purpose a man of nerve and true
fibre. Let him make his appeal to the
party of Lincoln to uphold him, and let
the people mark for political exile everv
one of their representatives whose vote
betrays him as the tool of the railroads
and trusts.
We shall never have a canal at Pana
ma controlled by the American people','
and the masses of America look upon
the Panama scheme as a piece of treach
ery. ... . . . . '
We shall never have an honest tarin
administered in the interest of the peo
ple w ho toil, until party slavery ceases.
No party can perpetuate itself oy plun
dering the individuals who comjioee it.
That is self evident. The republican
party is doing that today and is nearing
a defeat that will at least free it from
the political rats that infest it. Roose
velt and the usual democratic idiocy
may save it from defeat in 1904, but its
departure from the common people
its betrayal of their interests its delib
erate disregard of their purpose, is stor
ing up against it a flood of popular
wrath that will wipe it out when the
flood gates are loosed, and treachery of
senators and congressmen will be
responsible for its defeat and deserved
humiliation.
Let the young men of the republican
party make themselves understood. Let
it be known that no party owns them
to use them as voting units in polluting
our national life.
If the republican party is permanent
ly under the control of corrupting influ
ences, the true American spirit that has
rescued the republic before will do it
again and no party name will serve to
permanently obscure our best ideals.

A Terrible Charge.
"Prisoner at the bar, have von anything to
say why sentence of death should not be miss

A solemn nnsn reii over the crowded court
room, and every person waited In almost
Dreamless expectation lor an answer.
Not a whisper was heard anywhere, and the
situation had become painfully oppressive,
when the prisoner was seen to move; bis head
was raised, his hands were clenched, and the
blood had rushed Into his pale, careworn face,
suddenly he rose to his feel, and In a low,
linn voice, said:
