Ask ing for thai Scott Boorman finished harvesting his potatoes last week, and tells the most remarkable tale yet. From the five acres he gathered 1,125 sacks of 100 pounds each. This is almost two tons of potatoes to the acre. The potatoes were a sight to behold as Mr. Boorman had them heaped in monster piles ready for the bins constructed by cover ing the spuds with leaves and straw then heaping earth on top. Mr. Moor man's largest potato measured 22 inch es in length. For a potato yield this beats the record. It is all the more re markable since no irrigation was used. The potatoes were planted on a clover sod, and well cultivated. R. R. Erwin returned Friday from Lynden, Wash., where he spent a week with his family. Mr. Erwin says Seattle is not the lively city it formerly was. Hotels now advertise 25 cent rooms for which they used to charge $1 or more. "Seattle will continue to hold her Alas ka trade," said Mr. Erwin, "but that city will fall behind in the next two or three years while Portland is disburs ing a couple of million dollars for the Lewis and Clark fair. And Seattle peo ple are forced to admit this." It. B. Bragg of the general merchan dise firm of R. B.

C. Evans' place, burning out the fuse at the power house. The dynamo evidently is a goou one anu in perlect working order or it .would have been ruined causing a loss of several hundred dollars to the Light company. Then to complete the sum of their m tliciout ness, they came into town op on the hill and connected the electric light line with the telephone wire. Had not this connection been , discovered before the dynamo was repaired and started every telephone on the line touched would have been burned out, and verv probably the girls in central using their neao gear wou a nave neen killed. A curious attempt to obtain money on false representation was experienced by Mrs. C. G. Roberts last week. A ttle gram from Simms, Cal., was received which informed her that her daughter, Lucille Jean Roberts of the O. A. C, Corvallis, was there in destitute circum stances and to forward money. Imme diate inquiry established the fact that Miss Roberts was then at school at Cor vallis, which she had not left since college opened the middle of September. President Gatch of the college phoned to Simms that the real Mies Roberts was there and that an imposture was being attempted. No doubt some one who knows the family well attempted this, but who it was cannot even be guessed. Frank Stanton, after teading of the Scappoose apples . mentioned in last week's Glacier, came in to eay that he gathered from his own orchard 23 boxes of Northern Spy apples, 13 of which were three-tior apples. -R. R. Erwin says the Scappoose yield must have been only an accident, lie once owned a 160 acre farm in that country and got rid of the land as soon as he saw the other fel low had got the better of the deal. Hood River still leads the procession. J. I. Miller added to the Glacier's ex hibit of Irish potatoes some fine sam ples grown on his place in the Cranper district. Mr. Miller does not know what variety the potatoes are, but thev are certainly nice ones. He gathered about 100 sacka from one acre. His largest potato weighed 4l4 pounds, while seven of them weighed 20 pounds. Mr. Miller also brought in a 4-pound potato grown by Mrp, B. F. Edleman. II. L.

Kowley, tit occuiiBi. ne is so . plied with lenses ground to fit each pa-1 tient. , Alfred Wood of Odell and Jasper Wickham were conversing in the Glacier office, Thursday, when the former pulled out of his pocket a regular old fashioned steel corn-huBker. "What use do you have for that instrument in this country?" asked Mr. Wickham, surprised to see such an instrument for the first time since he left Kansas. But Mr. Wood assured him that he found plenty of use for it on his place. Mr. Wood grows some corn every year on his place at Odell, and without irri gating. He has had no water, but now that the Bone ditch will pass his place, he can get all the water he wants for ir rigation. This year Mr. Wood had hut half an acre in corn that he planted for fodder, but when he came to cutitfouml so many big ears that he saved them for seed and got a wagon box full of fine corn. John Leland Henderson sold last week his 20 acres.formerly part of his mother's place, mile and a half southwest of town, to George VV. Smith, of Penne wawa, near Colfax, Wash. ; considera tion $4,000 canli. Mr. Smith is a well-to-do fruit grower in the Palouse coun try. He intends, some day to make Hood River his home. Alfred Wood of Odell left at this office a curiosity in the shape of three apples grown into one. It is a Yellow Newtown apple with three blossom ends, and not the least curious feature of the freak is that one of the blossoms is on the stem end of the main apple. I Good Merchandising Does It.

Norman Williams Is Arrested. Norman Williams, a former resident of Hood River.was indicted bv the Unit ed States graud jury last week charged with forging a homestead relinquish ment for Miss Alma Nesbett. Connect ed with his indictment there appeared the story of his alleged murder of Miss Nesbett and her mother whom he locat ed on lands in the Mount Hood settle ment about four years ago. Mr. Wil liams has since been heard from at Whatcom, Wash., and will probably be taken to Portland for trial on the forgery charge. ' The case of Williams is indeed pecu liar. Many Hood River people w ill re call the incident of the disappearance of the Nesbett women in the spring of 1899, and the suspicions which were di rected at that time against this man Williams. Many people in the Mount Hood district believe the man capable of the supposed murder, and can say nothing good ot him. Others think there is no occasion for such serious sus picions. The Nesbett women came here .from Omaha and were located on claims at Mount Hood by Norman Williams. Very little was seen of the women. One March night, 18U9, Williams hired a livery team to take the women to their homestead. He returned alone tho next morning.and the women were nev er seen since. Williams, though, asserts he can produce witnesses w ho saw the mother and danghter board the train at Hood River after the date of this all night ride. Further developments in the case will be watched with interest. Riind'i Sew Hotel at Franltoii.

The natural panorama viewed from here is grand and wonderful in its in ag 11 i lice nee. As a retreat for tourists from the city it would be hard to equal. Mr, Rand is spending money and putting in much hard work to make everything about the place attractive. He expects to be able to accommodate gue9ts by May 1, next year, and there is little doubt his house will be crowded all summer. Public Schools Resumed Monday. The board of directors of the Hood River public schools met Saturday even ing and decided to reopen the public schools. A letter was read from Dr. Hutchison, tho state health officer, in which he ordered the school directors to refuse to admit to the schools any chil dren who cannot show satisfactory evi dence of recent vaccination or of recov ern from smallpox. Pursuant to these instructions the teachers were informed that they must comply with the order from the state health officer. Excep tions will be made only where pupils produce a physician's certificate that vaccination in their case would be ill advised. Rule 24 of the Oregon state board of health dealing with the mat ter says : It shall bo the duty of all school boards in all the districts of whatever class in the Btate of Oregon, to prohibit the entrance into any of the public schools of the state, of all children not previously vaccinated, (the evidence of w hich is show n by the scar), without proper vaccination ; and it shall be the duty of the teacher or teachers in any of the public schools of the state of Ore gon to satisfy themselves that such order has been properly enforced, the evidence being a scar or by a certificate of vaccination signed by a reputable physician.

Neff, who has been fcusy for some weeks past visiting the schools ot the county near ihe Dalles and as far out as Kingsley, says he finds them in good running order with the ex ception of a very few which havo failed to obtain teachers. The short term of some are about to close when other schools may be supplied. Out at No.10, where Miss Lulu Howe is teaching, they have just added a new list of books to their library aud other schools are plan ning to give entertainments for the pur pose of increasing their libraries. On account of school business which de mands his attention every Saturday he has been unable to visit schools further in the interior, but hopes to do so soon. Mr. Neff is taking a deep interest in the work which the county school superin tendent has left in his charge. Chron icle. One 5-acre and one 10-acre clearing land contract to let.
