Editor Glacier: Wu liaJ a pleapant trip from Hood Riv er, stopping in San Francisco a couple of davs. 1 haven't liad my overcoat on Biiice I left Frisco, still people hew are complaining of the cold. Kain is need ed badly, it Is so dry and dusty. The streets here are sprinkled with crude oil just as it is pumped from the earth. It (jives the roads the effect of anplialtuni, and answers the purpose both of layinn the ilust and makiiiL' a murky slime that clinjis to your shoes, and which is onlv equalled by Oregon snow and mud. Vim have perhaps road the book, "On a Slow Train through Arkansas." Well, we came out of San Francisco on one. We wanted a daylight view of the country and we got it. One thing that forced itself on me was the forsaken look and utter abandonment of all small towns we came through. Mrs. Dellord wondered if people tailed about lliHid Uiver as thov pass through the town on the train, us they do about the towns here. I told her that people who passed through Hood River and got a glimpse of only a lodging house, a few factories, a hand car and a couple of pigs undoubtedly had a big laugh up their sleeves. There is nothing so discourag ing to a traveler on entering a city or town as to have spread upon his imag inative intellect a bunch of patched and tumble down shacks. It is so much different to glide up to a station and see well-kept streets and lawns, painted buildings and a general air of bustle and tidiness. Then the stranger remarks, 'What a pretty place. I wouldn't mind living here niyielf." You can't help comparing these things, and I am sorry Hood River puts up such a poor show ing from the railroad. I went to Long Reach Sunday and saw Mr. and Mrs. Cook. Lawrence It low era was out soaking himself full of sunshine, so did not see him. Neither did I see Judge Henry, but will next trip. The electric, cars from this city to The Closing Out Sale N.M.ABBOTT. Will be continued wth the Cyclone Prices as Given in Last week's Glacier.

DeBord. 134 Ohio St., LosAngeles, Cal. Tax Lety U 27 Mills. Commissioner Ilibbard returned from The Dalles Tuesday afternoon, where he attended an adjourded session of the county court. It was found necessary to make the tax levy this year 27 mills, apportioned as follows: State, 7 mills; tsbhool, 6.4; roads, 3; and county 10.6. A small part of the levy for county pur poses goes toward paying pfl' the coun ty debt. Mr. Hibbard says Wasco county's finances are ifi very good shape. The debt tiow ts about f."0,00(). Four years ago it wan $120,000. Road supervisors for Hood River were named as follows : District No. 3, G. D. Wood worth; No. 5, B. F. Eadelman; No, 6, Hans l,age; No. 7, H. G. G ockett; No. 8, J.M. Letiz; No. 35, A. B. McKamey. At Mosier, Lal'ier and Huskey are to be the su pervisors. Mr. Hibbard says it is impossible to find any one for supervisor of district No. 4. At the meeting next Monday, this district will likely be divided be tween No. 3 and No. 7, giving the Odell people control of the Tucker hill. Tliat part of district No. 6 lying west of Hood river lias been given to No. 3. When asked concerning affairs polit ical, Mr. Hibbard declared things were very quiet.

Under the old law the fund would have beeu $23,204 whereas this year it will be $30, 036, since there are ;' 6000 persona be. tween the ages of foiir and 20 in the county according to the last reports of school district clerks. Mountaineer. , Side Lights on the Portland Con vent ions "Are there only two 'nieu in Hood River who know anything about fruit growing?" inquired a Willamette val ley member of the state board of horti culture. "It would seem so," he con tinued, "as Mason and Smith did all the talking." "Paper, mister?" shouted an urchin to E. L. Smith and G. J. Gessling as they were walking down Washington street. "Better buy one, mister," per sisted the youngster, directing his re marks to Mr. Smith; "your picture's in the paper." The Hood River delegates to the fruit growers' convention all wore rib bon badges with "Hood Hivcr" printed thereon. E. 11. Shepard had them printed. Joe Wilson presented a basket of handsome apples to Gifford. Piucliot, the government forestry agent. As Mr. Wilson carried the apples into the hotel Portland he was immediately surrounded by a crowd of prominent stockmen, who piled him witu all sorts of questions, and it was with difliculty he got the apples safely into the bands xf Mr. Pinchot. That's where the fruit exhibit should have been, says Mr. Wilson, in the hotel Portland, where the fine apples could have been seen by the Eastern cattle men. G.J. Gessling says he heard the story of the Vermont scboolma'm and Jerry Simpson 70 times or more, and he has one of his own to tell.. It was at the reception. Senator Warren of Wyom ing declared Mr. Simpson hud reformed and now wears socks. "Yes, that's so," butted in Jerry, as lie drew up his trousers and displayed a gaudy pair of silk hoseleis. Punch was served at the Commercial club's banquet to the stockmen. When it came Jerry Simpson's turu to talk he began by saying It required 14,0O pounds of material from which to ex tract enough radium to cover the end of your thumb. ''And' that's the way with this punch it takes a lot of it to make a drink." And he refilled his glass to overflowing. Scappoose was at the fruit growers' convention with those 3-tier Northern Spy of which Jerry Coldwell has told so much in the Oregonian side-heads. Joe Wilson says they were fairly good apples, but he repacked a box and they went 4-tier, even. F. P. Friday says he heard that in a California apple section a new town has been laid nut und advertised 11s "Hood Kiver, t lie land of the big red apple." Hood River must have been the whole thing at the apple growers' meetings, for the newspaper reports were full of frequent references to this famous fruit section. Four boxes of apples from Olwell Bros' orchard at Mediord were displayed with the fruit exhibit, but when Mr. Olwell happened in, it is said, and saw the marked contrast his apples made witli those from Hood River, he then and there replaced the lids on the boxes and sent them out of the hall.

Emory, Rock Mills, Ala. For sale by all druggists. Hagy's Ben II ur. White Salmon.Jan. 8.1904. Perhnns. my dear editor and friends in Hood Uiver, you may have heard of this grand and superb play, and we, as citi zens of White Salmon certainly regret that our neighbors did not avail them selves of the opportunity to come over and see it. Well, sir, we have had it: we have seen it, and feel keenly your loss. As soon as the enternrisiue ad vance agent fully satisfied himself that the capacity of our opera house stage was of sufficient size for the fam ous chariot races, the show was a sure thing for us. At once our streets be came noisy, busy thoroughfares. The transferring of this immense combina tion (including a scene from Rip Van Winkle) from wharf to opera house made dusty roads of Jewett avenue aiid tne urana um boulevard. Our entire city was on the border of hysteria wUJj. expectancy or ttie coming event. Perhaps no audience ever congregat ed ut the opera house before that con sisted so largely of the 400 of this city as greeted this play. Crowded from gallery to parquet with youth, rosy cheeked and beautiful, with the sparkle of health and sunshine from one and all. The private boxes on the right were occupied principally by residents from Nob Hill, Jewett avenuo and Condon lane, while those on the left were rilled to a seat trom the Hillside, RoadsideaudUeiiccbouleva'rds.Fratued in the canopy of the magnificent drap ery of the boxes, glistening and spark ling from the flash of diamonds, shone the elite of our city in magnificent at tire, while the body of the house fully represented the thrift and prosperity of the city politic. It wus indeed a grand gathering, long to be remembered. In the scene of the irrand chariot races the enthusi asm of this great gathering of people was grand to behold. The dashing, foaming, wild Arabian horses secined to become enthused with the object of supremacy to the extent of self-control as they dashed around the arena. The applause and enthusiasm of the audi ence to the victor was indescribable. It was indeed a regret of our citizens that their many friends in Hood River could not have been with us, or that their opera house stage was not of suf ficient size to accomiuodute the play. The after play of Rip Van Winkle, from the play of Joseph Jefferson, fully and beautifully accompanied by the soul stirring music furnished by the orches tra led by Lillian Ford, was a fitting and quieting ending of this wonderful production. We can only console ourselves my dear friends for your loss by a firm resolve that never again will we permit so grand an entertainment to visit us without our using every possi ble means to bring you over.
