LosAngelcs, Jan. 8. 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

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.

The coming year Waeco county will
have an addition of $6,832 to its public
school fund because ot a law passed by
the regular session of the legislature in
1903, which requires a levy ol fi per
capita for each person of school age in
stead of a Btraight five-mill tax. 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. ,

"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.

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.
