The Glacier of Deomber 17, 1903,con tained an extract from "Ten Years in Oregon," published in 1844 by Daniel Lee and J. H. Frost, the first Oregon missionaries. The article was thought to be the first mention of Hood River, but Dr. C. F. Newcomb, a former resi dent of Hood River but now of Victoria, sends the following communication, which shows Lewis and Clark to have made mention of our country as enrly as 1805, or 99 years ago. Dr. Newcomb's letter is as follows: Victoria, B. C.January 1, 1904. Edi tor Glacier: A short time ago I eaw in the Glacier a reference to an early notice of Hood Kiver, which, 1 think, was claimed was the first on record. Some years ago the late Dr. Elliot I ouee, a well known scientific author. edited an edition of Lewis and Clark's travels, a book which is especially inter esting just now, In view of the approach ,: . I ' v CHRIS DETIIMAN, Reflected Member Board o4)irwtors Hood River Apple Growers' Union. ing exposition at Portland. In a foot note below is the following description, in which Dr. Cones identifies the place spoken of with Hood River, and your readers can judge for themselves if he is right. After passing Menialooee island, called Sepulcher island by the explorers, from the circumstance of its havmi; teveral square vaults on it( Captain Lewis goes on to say: "The river now widens, and in three miles we came to two more houses on the right, one milo beyond which is a rocky island in a bend of the river toward the left. Within the next six miles we. passed 14 huts of Indians scattered on the right bank, and then reached the entrance of a river on the left, which we called Labiches river, after one of our party. Just above this river is a low ground more thickly tun-, bered thau usual, and in front are four huts of Indians on the bank, which are the first we hare seen on that side of the river." Next follows a short notice of White Salmon river, which was called Canoe river on account of the large number of canoes seen in it; the IndianB being hard at work fishing at this time. A mile lower down (below Hood Kiver that is)a river on'therightor north bank was noticed, and, opposite to it was a large sand bar.whiuh continued four miles along the left side of the Columbia riv er, below which was a beautiful caacud on the left, falling over a precipice of rock one hundred feet in height. The date if the entry was October 29, 1805. Wadcomitb. An Old Newspaper. D. A. Turner lias an old copy of the Weekly Oregon ian of July 19, 1873, which he kindly loaned to the Glacier for perusal. This old paper of 31 years ago makes interesting reading today. W. Lair Hill was the editor, one of the brightest writers that ever wielded an editorial pen in Oregon. H. W. Poott was then editor of lien Holladay's IJul letin and friendly, to J. II. Mitchell, who, in 1872, was elected United States senator by the Holladay faction of the republican party. Both the Oregonian and Bulletin weie straight-out repub publican organs, but the war between the two factions of the party was more bitter than it bas ever been since. The Oregonian represented the Corbett wing of the party and the Bulletin the Ben Holladay crowd. The editorials and correspondence in this old paper breathe a spirit of intense hatred towards H.W. Scoltand J. II. Mitchell. The dem ocratic party in the state then, as now, was regarded as a side issue hardly worth considering, .though It elected A. I. MASON, Rt -electa J President Hood River Apple Growers' Union. Colonel Nesmith to congress at the special election in 1873. We condense a few items from the news columns of this old paper: L. F.

Edi tor Glacier: In last week's Glacier ap peared a scurrilous attack upon the cit izens of road district No. 3, who at the Frankton meeting defeated an attempt to saddle upon the district a special road tax; which waB sown broadcast through the columns of the Glacier, and fairness ought to concede the privilege of reply ing through the same medium. Your reporter frothed and foamed at the mouth in his frantic endeavor to in timidate others and myself in particular by a far fetched play upon words intend ed to spell out "verdancy." Equally foolish would have been the statement that my course in the Frankton meeting caused a blush of confution to mount the cheeks of my fair Alma Mater, for more than 30 years ago I received tie degree of Bachelor of Arts from an old and famous college in the South. I learned long ano from my observation F. G. CHURCH, Re-elected Member Board of Directors Hood Kiver Apple Growers' Union. of men that criticisim of this baser sort does not require any brainB. I have no desire to pick your reporter's bones for two reasons. The first is a desire to resemble in one respect, the eagle, Co lumbia's proud bird, which was never known to prey upon carrion. The second is thatthe animus of the attack shows signs of a mind still bound with swadlingclot hs. 'Lose him and let him go."

Hood Lumber Company The spirit of the meeting was for good roads, noteinash tra'ls. but the clumsy provision of the law and tho burden of taxation already too heavy dominated the meeting and not the nioss-backism, which cannot survive in our progressive valley. In my remarks I said that if any person wished to establish a boer garden or the lumber companies are not satisfied with the present condition of the state road, let them go to work and make it better. Let the same be said about the si wash trails, and then let the people say, amen At the first Frankton meeting eleven voters were present and a tax was voted to improve the state road, but for some reason a second meeting was called, per haps to have the action already taken ratified bv the entire district. They opened the meeting with beating drums and flying. banners, but their speakers soon realized that they were very much in the condition of Drvden's Jack who beat his head for an idea, but knock as he would there was nobodv at home and when the vote was taken it was a Ihill Run affair.
