Mahkl Riddki.l, Principal, Maka Smith, Assistant. From Uncle Luke. Parsons, Kans., Oct. 12, 1903. Editor Glacier: All's well and having a good time as usual. I went to Peabody, Kan sas, about the middle of the state, to see a niece, who used to be Mable Hodg son. Crops never better, just enough rain for the farmers to push the market, price and all right along. I am going to California with a party to eat orangeB and have a good time ; will start the last of this month. I think I will be be more satisfled there, for there will be more excitement and something new to see every day. I would be more homesick here if it was not for the Glacier, but I read it and know what the home folks are doing, and by that way my mind is taken off from the lonesomeness that will exist in spite of everything. ' I have visited quite a good many postB while I have been here. There stilt sur vive some of the old soldiers. Today it is raining and very dreary, but when the sun conies out t he atmo sphere will be altogether changed. The nights are very cold, but during the day it warms up and you would never know that Kansas was subject to such very cold nights. Uncle Lukb. Apportionment of School Funds. J. T.

Mrs. E. H. Meeker of Portland was a guest of Mrs. S. F. Blythe overSunday. Mrs. Meeker is aniokl-tiiiie neighbor of the Blythe's in Portland and has frequently visited Hood River, but this time had not been to Hood River for eight years. Although a constant reader of the Gla cier, she was surprised to find the changes that had taken place in Hood River. Sunday she was taken out for a drive through the valley. At Sears & Porter's place she was taken through the orchards and the big apple house and saw what could be accomplished here under intelligent management. Bears & Porter have storage room in their apple house for 7,300 boxes of apples, but their apple house will not' hold the crop this year. Of Yellow Newtowns alone they . will havo 2,400 boxes, or four carloads. fcSorae of their eight-vear-old Newtown trpes produced over ten boxes of perfect apple. One fmr-year-old Wagoner tree which last year yielded 13 apples over a bn full, this year has four lioxesof ptrfeei apples. Mr. Sears says the Wagoner. . is a good apple, is a piolific and early benrur,and for this reason is a good tree to ine as a filler where trees are niiHsing in an or chard Sears & Porter are not members of the local apple growers' union They ship indeendeiitly and also buy anil ship for others. Mrs. Meeker returned to Portland by boat Monday ueiming, well pleased with her trip and delighted with Hood River. Council Proceedings.

Clarke, druggist. Big Yield r Big Potatoes. W. 8. Boorman of Frankton has one of the finest, if not the finest, potato patches in the valley. " The tubers are of three or four different varieties, and each kind seems to have tried to out-do its neighbor. The White Star potato is one, and a most excellent variety. If you scratch the dirt away from some of the big hills without disturbing the tu bers you will tind great big white pota toes almost as long as a stick of stove wood and lyine so close together, all of them pointing towards the hill, remind ing one of a nice bunch of little Chester W hite pigs taking their feed. It's the same with the other varieties. The ground seems full of them. His satanic majes ty from the Glacier oliice accompanied by his better half went up to help dig the spuds last Friday. They dug six rows and picked up 41 eacks of nice marketable potatoes and about a half a sack, all there was in the six rows that were too small to market. Scott has been modestly estimating the crop at 1,000 sacks.He has 200 ros, which if they average only the same as those harvest ed Friday, will make the crop 1,400 sacks, and our devil says he will bet a first mortgage on a bee line that the five acres will'yield over 1,500' sacks. ; These potatoes were not irrigated, A Happy Man. There is no happier man in Hood Riv er than the man who has a strong body and steady nerves, or who, if he has not, has gone to Williams' pharmacy and bought Palmo tablets, the great tonic that costs only 50c per box, and are guaranteed with cash coupons in eacli box, fur all forms of weakness.
