HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12, 1903. WHITE SALMON NOTES. Mrs. P. A. Tranna has been taken to I The Dalles lor social medical care. James Hancock is the latest one to begin building a reslJuuca. Mrs. A. H. Jewett and MnUu have re turned from Portland, where the latter lias been under the best medical care. We are glad to eay that .Eolus ts im proved. Ira Rowland, our ferryman, is build ing a boat lit feet long, i feet beam and of the round-bottom variety. George A. Thomas, wife and child went to Cottage drove in Southern Or egon on a visit to friends last Sunday. They will remain for about two weeks. It is reported that Mr. Jacobson, for mer owner of the Main & Bowman place, will return from Norway to White Sal mon to invest again in property here. Rumors of another opposition line on the Columbia river are floating about and the Oregonian reports that the steamer lone may be the new candidate for public favor. Guess she won't cut present rates unless she offers free choc olate caramels to lady passengers and free cigars for the ifien. The editor of the Enterprise advertis es that he will practice in all courts, state and federal, including the supreme court of the United States. Good for you,I5ro. Harlan. Some unprincipled or else careless per son, "without the fear of the Lord be fore his eyes and at the instigation of the devil." as the old Pilgrim Fathers used to put it in their indictments, smashed a large window pane in the front of the Enterprise office Halloween night. Whether an accident or not the man' who did it ought to have the man hood to come np and pay the bill. This community doesn't endorse that kind of fun. . Monthly report cards are to be used in our school at once. This system will make it possible for every parent to know the standing of his or her child in each branch taught. The system ought to help the pupil, the parent and the teacher. To the quiet music of the Bret snow fall of the season, a procession of friends and neighbors marched to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Main, Monday evening, taking possession for the time. The hours sped away under the spell of games, music and dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Main and their daughter Gertrude have fitted very gracefully into the so cial life of White Salmon. A brother of George A. Thomas, for merly of Missouri, with his family, have adopted this as their home and are liv ing on what is known as the Lane place. Mr. Thomas likes the climate so far as he has seen it. HI AGAINST THE REAL TJ1INO. Your correspondent dined at one of Hood River's leading hotels the other day. We did the two-step into the dining room and after gracefully gliding into a chair and tucking our napkin lovingly inside of our neck, or rather, inHide of collar in front, we rolled our gazelle-like eyes about from embarrass ment and hunger, and spied some little applets on the s. e. of the n. e. 4 of the table. Now, Hood Kiver apples are world renowned, but these little wrin kled, wiz.ened, measly applets we chewed on were the kind Hood River people have left after shipping the other kind that make them famous. They were about the size of a backward Hys lop crab and no amount of biting would fetch the juice. We gnawed on ours faithfully and sincerely searching for nutriment, while we wondered if there were better ones for sauer and more im posing looking guests, and incidentally, to give the fawn-like waitress time to return from Cloud Cup Inn. where she had evidently gone for our order. Hut no, so far as the eye could reach were diehes of these same little apples. They were ot the variety known as "Hale 8 rinkled lieauty,' sometimes improper ly called "Hale's Mealy Cork." Well, by and by, or possibly a few minutes later than that, when we had forgotten our order and were wonder ing how large the children would be at home by the time supper was over, while the front and back of our "stum mick" were grating like two w ashboards or pieces of corrugated iron rooting, our order arrived, the waitress having been compelled to walk all the way that is to say, the order arrived all but a glass of milk, Hood Kiver being short of milk now that the cows are being compelled to "keep off the grass." Well, we removed from the aperture in our countenance, the measly little apple by a side swipe of our dimpled hand and stored it away in our pants' pocket when nobody was looking. We shall use it to put with other bric-a-brac on our hen-house floor to prevent rats lrom gnawing up through. Now, this is no laughing matter. It's a solemn, serious, nefarious, indigenous, and pusillanimous fact that people from all over this great country, from Goble and Skamokaway to Cape Cod and re- turn, get up against the measly spavined apples that Hood River don't ship. They are not firm enough for nesteggs and they won t chew up or mash up. They wont bake nor stew. They would make passably good jerked beef if the skin could be removed, but that is mi practicable, so there we are. Why, a White Salmon man won't look at an apple less than ten inches in diameter unless lie can t get the ferry and is hung up in Hood Kiver. He Took It Hard. White Sulinon, Wash., Nov. 9, 1003. Editor Glacier: We see from your last week's paper the White Salmon critic. or California tramp, took the pill of iruin we gave mm uown hard, as It caused him to vomit up a lot of corrup tion coyotes, stpuirrels, a forked-tailed animal of some kind, and even an old shack of a kcIiooI house, and in his straiuing to get them up he pulled the wart oil the back of his neck that he used to button his shirt collar on. When he tackles an old moss-back, a peaceable citizen, who has been help nig to build up this country for twenty years, he must expect to have a hard pill to take once in awhile. But we wincerely hope he will live through it and be a better man, if not a w iser one, in the future. W. O. t'ox. Notes From Underwood.

The Menominee Lumber company has closed the mill for two weeks on account of shortage of logs.but expect to have the dam at Trout Lake finished by that time, and get 3,000,000 feet out of the White Salmon. When this dam is fin ished logs will be attainable at anv time of the yeur. Though the mill is not running, the planers are working and a crew is tilling orders promptly for Eastern Oregon tun MB. The company has just finished build ing seven new houses for the crew's fam ilies. We are a little crowded yet for room, but in a few days the carpenters will be laying foundations for more houses. There are 25 families here now. ami when the mill rung again the popu lation w in oe over no. Last month was fairly good, our ship ments averagini: two cars of lumber a day besides 20 cars of ties. Thedemand for lumber has not been as good as it might on account of the harvesting, but better times are looked for next month, as the wheat is beginning to move. Improvements to the plant are eoinn on daily. Next month our steam feed will tie here and the output increased 10 per cent or more. The loading platform is to be enlarged, the ulaner housed in and the east side of the mill widened 20 feet. The mill people have just completed laying 300 feet of six-inch wooden pipe throughout the mill and 1300 feet in the yard w ith hydrants every 200 feet for better fire protection at a cost of tW0, also a new Marsh pump of the latest pattern ha9 been installed, and a hand hose cart with 300 feet of hose valued at Barrett District.

CROSIER & CO PHONE MAIN 931 Quite a number of children have been transferred by a change of district boun daries, from the Crapper school to the school in this district. Of course, we don't object, only why not include all the valley at one swipe and not increase us by piece meal? It is so trying on the teachers' nerves, to say nothing of com pelling the boys of this district to keep in training all the time so as to be in condition to meet new comers. Recognizing the superiority of this suction, strangers are constantly pur chasing property on every road leading out from the Barrett school house, all aiming to secure homes, where, while enjoying the country air, they yet have all the conveniences of the city, viz: a graded school, two churches, telephones, daily mail delivery, a first class general store, and a class of citizens that are the peer of any people in the valley. And yet there is room for more. A good blacksmith who is industrious and obliging can And an opening here that cannot be surpassed anywhere. Comrade Tweedy is finishing up his house, so as to deliver the property to the purchaser of his 10-acre tract. We are sorry to lose brother Tweedy, but as he expects to remain in Hood River we can still josh him up once in a while. Mrs. . B. Miller, of Moro, Sherman county, and her two children, are visit ing at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Bishop, and are kept busy re newing old acquaintanceships, as Mrs. Miller was formerly a resident of this section. We trust that her visit may prove so pleasant that it will be pro longed indefinitely, S. A. Skinner hag begun the erection of an addition to his house, and when finished, if it ever is, he will have one of the coziest homes in the valley. Quer ry: What does lie want of any more house than he has? He says it is not for hkr, and when we look at him, we tin derstand that it would take more than a new house, but we propose to investi gate and report later. Found By S. A. Skinner, a large bundle of paper, supposed to be apple paper. The owner can have the same by applying to Mr. Skinner, quarter of mile north of the Barrett school house. R. B. Bragg, the Hood River mer chant, was a visitor in Barrett Sunday, and attended service at the Valley Christian church. Come again, brother. We understand that Miss Hotline, who clerked at the Parij Fair in Hood River, is a victim of the smallpox. Miss lio dine has the sympathy of a large circle of friends who one and all sincerely trust she may soon recover. The new store has invested in a new delivery rig aud we understand will de liver goods free anvwhere this side of Mount Hood and White Salmon. The new houses go up so fast in this section that it is impossible for your correspondent to keep track of them. We notice a uew one leing erected near L. Morse's, but could not learn to whom it belongs. Mrs. S. Cochran was called to Wash ington by the severe illness of her bro ther. We trust that she may soon re turn with the information that he is out of danger, and his speedy recovery as sured. We ran np against a bunch of fruit trees the other day in Hood River and found I. K. K.on the puh end of them. We found out where he got them, but we were too late as they had put a guard over them. We always were unlucky. CARD or THAXKS. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Hoole desire to express their sincere thanks to friends and neighbors who were so kindly atten tive to Mr. Hoole during his late illness, and especially to the ladies' aid society of the Valley Christian church, not alone for their sympathy, but for the gift of many beautiful flowers, w hose delicious fragrance filled the sick room, and aided to a considerable degree in bis recovery.
