HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1803. I assume all responsibility for what ap. pears In this column. SEYMOUR W. CONDON. Charles. A. Alvord, Earnest Kiihn hausen and Benjamin F. Miller of KulUa were in town, Tuesday, on business be fore the United States land commission er. John Farr of Goble, Columbia county, Or., a lumber merchant, was in town, Tuitsday, on land business. White Salmon pays out through Wol fard & Co., alone, $1,200 per year for mill feed for stock. We import practically allot our side meat, hams and breakfast ba con. We also import a great quantity of hay. The hay and bacon we ought to produce at home, or at least a large part of it. Rev. Mr. Uarrison preached Sunday of last week about the prodigal son. The sermon was very high.y spoken of by those who heard it and the seats were we I filled. The minister emphasized the foresight of the father, his great and generous love for the wayward boy. lie gave him enough rope to let him gather in his experience and when the poor boy's heart turned to the old home again, the father's welcome was ready. The generous love of the father rather than the experience or quality of the prodigal being the real meat of the story. Fathers sometimes forge, to forgive and are stern and unrelenting, but mothers never fail in generous love going out to wards the wayward boy. The masquerade ball given Thanks giving evening wag a great success. The iloor was crowded with dancers and the room was'filled with spectators. Prizes were awarded as follows: Best dressed lady, Miss tiforgia Johnson. Miss John son represented "June Rose" and under her burden of beautiful roses fairly won mat prize. .Best dressed gentleman, Clarence Rankin "Spanish Prince." Best sustained comic lady character, Miss Lydia Crowe, whose troubles as a wash-woman were fully exploited with tub and washboard and "the old man's socks." Rest sustained comic gentle man character, Merl Fox as "Hayseed," who did the part to a finish. Others did their stunts well. By Hamilton, as usual, played his part to perfection. Many would hiue uccorded him a prize. Ilia "Irish Dude,'' would have pleased the "gallery gods" at a theater, where lie would shine. Every body too old ortoo good to dance went to look on and all enjoyed the occasion. 8. C. Ziegler's residence is nearing completion. It commands a great view of meadow, river and mountain. Zeig ler is an, example of what industry and frugality and sense can do with a very few acres at White Salmon. Moore has been splendidly demonstrating the same thing; so has Egan and McClure and Adams and Shurte. Among the larger farms, where farming is of a more general kind, we have the Byrkett and Henderson places. There places have what the upland lacks magnificent Meadow lands where alfalfa grows luxuriantly and dairy hords revel in luscious grass. Mr. Hen derson leans toward stock raising and alfalfa hay, while Byrkett is center ing more and more on strawberries. He has under-tiled and brought under cultivation some of the richest land on earth and now has about 20 acres ready for berry crops. On the first plateau above, the largest place is that of A. II. Jewett, who is an early settler. Mr. and Mrs. Jewett keep summer guests and all summer long their house is filled to overflowing. Being a summer resort beauty has not been sacrificed to thrift at the Jewett home. A beautiful and an extensive lawn lies about the house, and one of the most picturesque canons containing the cascades of Joslyn creek forms its eastern boundary. For scenic beauty it is a rare and inspiringspot-This short sketch completes a birds-eye view from the river front (is far north as the county road to Binge n. North of the county road live the rest of us. Facing that thorough-fare you first discover the townsito. On the south or bluff side, in new buildings are the Bancroft market, the Roth feed store, the Crowe & Gearheart drugstore and the Groshong blacksmith shop, with dear, old Grandpa Swan sandwiched in between the last two named. Then to the left are the Peck hotel, T. Wyers, sr. and jr., and Dick Krepps. On the right or north side of the road are the Con gregational church, a very neat little building, plastered, carpeted and well painted and the new parsonage built by the energy of the pastor, Kev. Mr. Gar rison, assisted by the generosity of the people of White Salmon and the church extension board. Next comes the new and nicely furnished residence of C. F. Waldo, and following this comes the Wolfard home and then the printing office. Next is the large merchantile establish ment of C. M. Wolfard & company. It has out grown the old name of "store," and does an immense business, having, bo far, a monopoly of the market with a firm grip on both the local and tribu tary trade. Near the store is the house of Mr. Lnuterbach, who owns 100 acres of land "right in town." Then w- come GEO. F. COE & SON, HOOD RIVER, OR. Will be pleased to show you their large stock of Xmas goods they are now putting in. NEW ARRIVALS: Games Inst a starter, more to follow. 100 difier erent games now. Papetries Some of the new styles. They are extra values, too. Sleds Coasters from ."Ot to $1.00. All are good ser viceable sleds. Books A few that will make acceptable Xmas presents. Remember the Place GEO. F. COE & SON. Phone, to the new and cozy home of P. A. Tra na, and next to the school house, and this is a good place to quit, for that school house cannot be described in clean, chaste words. The subject is full of pathos, brimstone and things, and there are people who are so sensitive. They "built up this country," including the school house, and woe be unto him who pokes them while they peacefully snore away the remaining years while it decays. Along the Trout Lake road leading out of town northward are Main & Bowman, on the old Jacobson place, George Thom as, Jim Hancock and the Hunsakers, and then juu are out of town again among the murmuring pines. Speaking of the old school house, the new coiner with his family to be edu cated didn't have to come. And if the new comer don't submit and lie down in the wallow and enjoy the smell and sun sh'ne there are human buzzards to pry into the precincts of his home and bis private business. White Salmon is fast filling up with a fair-minded class of people, the great majority of the older residents are of the same kind and character. Together they can and will have control as against the Silurians in school matters. When the legislature gave two-fifths of the voters at a school election the power to block the advancement of a community and advertise it as a place indifferent to its schools and the inter ests of the children of its homes they were banking on the intelligence of the people to protect their own fire sides. When a man of any public spirit comes into a community and those who "built up the country" ask him to"keep his pawze off our edukashional fassih ties w hile we take keer of your children ferye the same os -we hev our own," he is likely to decline with thanks and clear decks for an engagement. The "forninet" people have succeed ed in doing two things here in White Salmon. Ihey have advertised to the world their own existence in numbers sufficient to prevent the building of a much-needed school house, and they have succeeded, by filing an affidavit, known as the "Turner Affidavit'" and threatening a contest, in preventing the sale of the school bonds as low as 4 per cent rate of interest. The clerk of the board has the evi dence of this lost opportunity in his possession and any patron of the school may see it for himself if he will call and at-k for it. Now, the voters who were misguided and honest in their objections see their mistake and as soon as the opportunity comes will be glad to leave those who misled them to stand alone next time. Another vote will be had, the bonds will be gladly carried by an overwhelm ing vote, the money will be secured at a very low rate and peace with decency will reign. We all will be proud of our new school house and to visitors we will point to it with pride and use it as an argument-a truly patriotic and American argument why they should locate on this Bide of the Columbia in a place where school houses are honored even above churches as they should be. The American home, and next to that, the American common school. He who would raise his arm to strike at either is a publicenemy. When that sentiment rules in White Salmon desirable settlers will no longer look about them and cross into Oregon to build homes on a less favored soil. Our school house ought to be the cen ter of our community life,, held sacred in our keeping and very close to our hearthstones. SEYMOUR W. CONDON. Notes From Underwood. By the School Children.
