Knanti is another business man ! who traces direct results from his ad in the Glacier. For a couple of weeks he has been announcing a "real thing" clearance sale shoe ad, and has found the results very satisfactory. At first. some of his customers feared his bar gains might not be just as represented, but it didn't take long to convince the skeptical. One rancher, living away on the north side of the Columbia, came into the store with the ad cut out of the Ulacier and asked for a certain shoe named in the ad. It had been sold out but the customer left as a friend of the store. He saw the other 'shoes were just what they were advertised. T. E. Kellogg has patented a hame and trace connector for harness, his own invention, that seems to be just the thing and is bound to come into general use. He has received a patent from the United States patent office and has applied for a patent in Canada. The device is a very ingenious invention and does away with the holes in' the tug. The buckle is hard to describe and must be seen to be understood. We congrat ulate Mr. Kellogg on his ingenuity and hope that he may realize handsomely upon his invention. A letter from Hev. J. W. Jenkins at Athena, says: "We are in the midst of a good meeting with seventy-four ad ditions and the meeting continues. Evangelist W. A. Moore of St. Louis, Mo., is with us. Since I came here the church has built a fine parsonage at a cost of $2,000 and we moved into it the first of this month. We like our new field of labor and are getting on nicely. Kind regards to all. In the ad of D. G. Jackson, as pub lished last week, it was stated that he had Vermont maple syrup for sale at Jackson's store for 15 cents a pound. It should have read maple sugar, and it is the genuine article,, right from old Varfnount Lovers of this brand of sweetness should call at Jackson-'s store at once, for, like everything else good, it won't last long. II. W. and Cyrus R. Selleck and fam ilies, recently irom wateriown, t-ouin Dakota, are new arrivals and are living in one of M. F. Jacobs' new cottages in Blowers addition.

He was called East the first of the month on account of the se rious illness of his mother, who died be fore he reached her bedside. He re turned by way of the Southern Pacific. Everywhere he went the weather was fine. A. P Bateham has sold his interests in the Davidson Fruit Co. He says he lias several projects in view. Hood River, he declares, still looks good to him, and his friends expect to see him remain here. The Dalles has levied city tax of five mills, Hood River three and Dufur five. The only road district so far levying a special tax is No. 6 at Hood River, the levy being 10 mills. Frank Clark came down from Sher man county Monday, on his way to Portland where he goes for treatment for a hurt he received on the 19th of last November and from which he has not yet recovered.

A third wire was strung from the powei house a couple of weeks ago, which per mits a better flow of "juice," and gives a much better light. Since Mr. Koberg took charge of the Light Co., the first of the year, he has been busy . preparing new records, drawing new maps and catching on to a few wrinkles needed by an electric light manager. And when it comes to drawing maps, Mr. Koberg is not at all slow. It is quite evident he has done engineering work before. Mr. Koberg is pushing a scheme to put water on tne lull tins summer, but is not yet reauy to divulge ins plans, it looks ae if the new management, intends to do something in the matter, notwithstand ing the mutual "knocking" between the old and the new management. Monday night was set for an adjourned meeting of the school board, but with Dr. Dumble absent. Captain Blowers sick, Chairman Baker and Clerk Barnes failed to make a Quorum. There are several matters to attend to, chiefly the securing of money to cash teachers' sal ary warrants. The district is out of funds, with none coming in until the March apportionment. The monev question ie apt to cause some deep think ing lor the patrons ot Hood Kiver school the coming year. The 10-niill tax voted in December will likely leave a deficien cy. The 10-year bonds of $8,000 come due in August with the option of con tinuing another 10 years. Both school houses are overcrowded and the people on the hill want one up there. -They ought to have it, too. Charley Rogers is now a resident on Lyman Smith avenue, having purchased the Jones lease to 15 acres of the Dr. Adams farm. He paid Jones $150 for the three years' lease and gives Dr. Adams a cash rental of $200 a year. He intended to raise strawberries, but says the outlook is not bright. He was in formed by Frank Davenport that only land owners would get water. Charley has a good place, is a hard worker, and with water will make' it pay. Mr. and Mrs. Burns Jones arrived home Sunday from The Dalles, after a four-months' siege in the hospital with appendicitis. Mr. Jones came home once before, but was forced to return for a second operation. He is fust regain ing health and strength, and Hood River people are glad to have Mr. and Mrs. Jones with them again.

It is expected that the Paradise Farm laundry will be ready to start up about the middle of next week. The delay has been caused by the non-arrival of machinery.

A stockholders meeting of the Valley Improvement Co. will be held Saturday morning, when some definite action will be taken oni the matter. G. A. R. and W. R. C. There was quite a full attendance at the meeting of Canby post last Satur day. A new recruit, T. E. Kellogg, was admitted to membership.

The following dispatch under a Boston date line of January 25, appeared iu the Portland Oregoman, January Jo: Rev. Herbert 8. Johnson, a native of Port land, Or., who has been pastor of the Warren avenue Baptist church, Boston, for three years, bus donsted the entire amount of his salary in that time to the church. The total amount given Is 910,600, and when the secret was re- veaieu (ouuy, a seiiNttuou wascreuieu among bis parishioners. Rev. Mr. Johnson modestly admitted the fact, said he did not need the money, and as many oi nis congregation were hardworking people be did not feel it right to ask them to support himself and family. He marriea a niece ot ex-woveruor i;rane, wno brought him a largo fortune, and although reared a Congregatlonallst, Is assistant to her husband In his eliurch work. Herbert Johnson is Dr. W. L. Adams' grandson being the son of the late professor J. W. Johnson, the nrst presi dent of the state university at Eugene, who married Helen Elizabeth, Dr. Adams' second daughter, while Dr. Adams was collector of customs at As toria. "Young Johnson developed a re markable talent at an early age," says Dr. Adams. "He was graduated at Eugene and chose preaching as his trade; married a wealthy girl and received a large salary for preaching. He used to tell his mother 'I think I got a good deal of my talent from Grandfather William.' His father was a democrat and about a half-baked Methodist. His mother, like her father, was a Camp- bellite and strong republican "Herbert is unlike me in some re spects," continued the doctor. "He married a wealthy woman and got a large salary, while I was poor, not able to keep a cayuse pony to ride worked hard on the farm all the week, walked miles every Sunday to preach and never took a dollar for services. The fact that Johnson gave all his salary to feed the poor affords the only evidence I have that he has a drop of Adams blood in him." Mrs. Reid Entertains. With YihhU Mrs. Margaret Reid entertained a party of friends at progressive whist, on last Friday evening, at her handsome apartments in the Jacobs' house. At 11 o'clock cards were laid aside, and the guests spent an hour in pleasant conver sation while partaking of a dainty lunch the fair hostess had provided. The rooms were beautifully decorated with Oregon grape and miniature flags of all nations, with here and there pot ted plants that filled the rooms with de licious perfume. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Humble; Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Williams; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Gra ham; Mr. and Mrs. Truman Butler; Captain and Mrs. J. P. Shaw; The Misses Groves and Quinu; Messrs. CO. Roberts, George Slocom and Glen Fa bric. Iu bidding good bye to their hostess, the party was declared the suc cess of the season. A Leap Year Party. Friday evening, January 23, Mix Charles R. Bone entertained a small party of young people In a delightfully informal manner. The invitatioi.'a were issued lo the young ladies wit'i the leap year privilege of inviting g-n-tlemen. Under these circumstance the gentlemen were unusually bashful and retreated to the den, from which, however, they were soon driven by t he ladies and partners were chosen fir whist. The company, Including liwt and lioHtess, filled three tallies. Miss Hester Howe and Fred Clarke won the honors.

Fred Clarke secured a corner on oats, but so great was the up roar that it was some time before the pnblio became aware of it, und then only by vigorous action on his part, the recorder being ou the floor speculating. Lou Henderson kept a cool head amid the rush and roar of the pit and cor nered wheat, rye and barley with the skill of a veteran Wall street broker. At 12:30 the party broke up, thanking Mr. and Mis. Bone for a very pleasant evening. Those invited were Misses Mellie Olinger, Hester Howe, Pansy Baker, Clara Blythe, Laura Cramer, Al vena Iloadley, Percy Cross, Lou Hen derson, Fred Clarke, Major J.

Hood River, January 23. Editor Glacier: I have just returned from that ood roads meeting we bad in Ode II istrict. All we found out was that we had a new road supervisor. Now the question is, What will lie do? I expect we will have him buried in a mud hole by next spring. I know we will if be tries to please everybody, for that la hard to do. At least that has been my experience. There is consid erable controversy in regard to the mail catrier, Mr. Bailey, who took the Dukes valley road Saturday to avoid the bad piece of road on Tucker hill. He Is not to be blamed. If the people will not keep the roads in tit condition on the mail route he is not obliged to travel it. O. W. Saxueuh. Hood River People Buy Best Pianos. When buying a piano be careful to pay your money for the best makes. Don t contract for a high-priced cheap piano, and then wish you had bought a Chickering, Kimball or Weber. Filer's Piano house sells the world's recognized leaders. Hood River people are buying the best. The Misses Stranahan showed marked ability by choosing a Chicker ing, while there were two other pianos of inferior grades in the house, placed there by local retailers. Yesterday C. U. Dakin bought a fine Schuman. If interested in a piano, have Mr. Caldwell call on you. Base Ball Men, Attention. A call has been issued to the citizens of Hood River for the organization of a base ball company. A meeting for this purpose will be held at Prather's office, Friday night at 7:30. An option has been secured on a tract of land suitable for bite ball purposes, and it is up to tlie people of Hool ' River whether or not tho town secures base ball grounds. Other cities have base ball teams. Hood Kiver can get up one, and a winner, too, but there must be a place for a good diamond. Pianos and Organ.
