Don't raise cull strawberries, but force them into large sized fruit by an application of No. 4 fertilizer to be had at the Davidson Fruit Co. (Strong in potash and nitrogen. It pays well and should be applied as early as possible after February 1. Q. R. Sellinger, the sawmill man of .y t - . i ir ; , irout iaKe, was in uoou iuver rriuay. Mr. Bellinger says Trout Lake has ex perienced a pleasant winter,but with not enough snow for the logger. The Trout Lake country is growing rapidlyf and Mr. Sellinger says they will have a town there before long. Mr. Sellinger is proprietor of a sawmill and box factory. He has a profitable busi ness with more orders than the factory can fill. His fruit boxes are made of first-class yellow pine, and are sold at so low a figure that Dalles factory men declare it is Impossible to compete with them. Dalles fruit growers made a big call for Bellinger's boxes last 6nmmer. Meigs Bartmess, who graduates in June from the Oregon Agricultural col lege at Corvallis, has been elected vale dictorian of his class. His father, S. E. Bartmess, was gratified to receive this news in a letter from Professor A. B. Horner, congratulating the young man's parents, ana inviting them to attend commencement exercises in June. Mr. and Mrs. Bartmess will be pres ent. Meigs is a bright young man, and to such as he, success is sure. A Hood River man, while in Seattle a few days ago, was attracted by a pla card in a grocery window reading''Fresh Hood River Eggs." The Hood River man went into the store and inquired the price and found the enterprising grocer was offering the eggs at five cents above the market price. Hood Kiver is noted for its fruit. Why shouldn't its ben fruit sell above the quotations same as its apples and strawberries? Six and eight-horse teams have been hauling out new mill machinery during the week for Davenport Bros. Lumber Co. A donkey engine constitutes part of the machinery, which will be made to pull itself up the hill to Parkertown, by fastening cables to trees along the roads. It will then be used to pull up the rest of the machinery, a slow process but a great saving on horseflesh. When a Hood River pupil dares to call his instructor a "rubber neck "he is then a fit candidate for initiation into the mysteries of the rubber tube, it hav ing been decided by the board of school directors of the schools at that place that in administering corponal punish ment a rubber tube is to be used instead of the old time switch. Chronicle. The latest fad is to have monograms on peaches, says the Chronicle. The monograms or crest is cut out in paper and pasted on the peaches while grow ing. As soon as the fruit is ripe the pa per patterns are removed, when a fac simile of the monogram or other design used is found picked out in the most delicate green, while the rest of the fruit is rosy and deep hued. Rary A. Collins is attending a business college at Los Angeles, Cal., and will graduate next June. He expects to re turn to Hood River. Fred and bind Frautchy are expected to come back at the same time to make their permanent home in Hood River. W. G. Howell learned while at Yaki ma, last fall. that the farmers there get their irrigating water for $1 an acre. And they have all the water they can make use of at that price. Phil Warren of Viento was in town Friday. One of his cows had been killed the night before by the cars. This is the first animal Mr. Warren has lost by the cars for two years. Aldine Bartmess went to the Dalles Friday and returned home Monday, after a delightful visit with friends at the countv seat. M. P. Isenberg, supervisor of the north half of the Cascade forest reserve, has been suspended, and his case is awaiting investigation on charges of drunkenness preferred against him by Congressman Williamson and Senator Fulton, so stated Washington dispatch es in Saturday's Oregonian. To the Glacier, Mr. isenberg declares the charges are made by his political ene mies. He is willing to stand investiga tion, but says the whole Oregon delega tion is, of course, against him. Mr. Isenberg says his official record will show the duties of his office to have been faithfully performed, and that nothing about his work was ever neglected. The Glacier is glad to add that Mr.Isenberg's good work last season speaks for itself. He conscientiously carried out his in structions from Washington, and there never was a summer with such an ab sence of forest fires. Mr. Isenberg's ad ministration of the reserve has also been eminently satisfactory to the cattle and sheep men. He has received nothing but compliments from Eastern Oregon cattle and wool growers for his square dealings with them, a factor which has assisted materially in making these peo ple strong friends of forest reserves. Carpenters at Portland have finished work on the hull of the Charles R.Spen cer, which has been lengthened 30 feet. Captain Spencer estimates that the al teration of the steamer will be corn completed by March 15, when the boat will resume business on the run bet ween Portland and The Dalles. It is his intention to make a round trip every day, leaving Portland in the morning. What the fare will be re mains to be seen, but it is the belief that the rate war will be renewed as soon as the Spencer and the Bailey Gatzert are on the run together. The Regulator steamer Gatzert is still in winter ouarters at Portland. It is un derstood to be the intention of the com pany to give her a thorough overhauling and install oil-burning apparatus in her. Harry Bailey, mail carrier on Route 1, encountered a blinding enow etorm in Dukes valley, Monday. The snow was eight inches deep and kept falling until he reached Stanton's place on his re turn trip. Trees weighted down with wet snow hung over the road iu . many places, and at times the storm was so fierce, Mr. Bailey says he couldn't see 10 feet ahead of his team. The roads were frightful. J. A. Kinsey, on Route 2, also had a tough time that day. At Calkins' place one of his horses took sick, presumably foundered, and Mr. Kinsey was forced to find a substi tute. Winter is here at last. Tuesday morn ing, February 9, the thermometer reach ed its lowest for the wintei" 24 degrees above zero. Wednesday morning, snow commenced falling at 5 o'clock, and by noon a foot of the beautiful covered the valley. In the afternoon the sun shone out, and the slciuhing was tine.

Davidson of the Davidson 'Fruit Co., who returned last week from a trip to Ouden. Salt Lake, Helena. Butte and Seattle, reports a good outlook for Hood River strawberries. The markets are all anxious to take more Hood River berries, provided they are strictly first class. Fruit dealers speak well of last year's pack, but Bay the quality of the truit was not up to tne standard. Mr. Davidson reports that California will have a large crop this year. Mr. and Mrs. W. G.

Norman Williams Held for Murder. Norman Williams was arrested at Bel- lingham,Waah., Monday morning, on a telegraphic request trom Sheriff Sexton at The Dalles, stating that he was want ed there on a charge of murdering two -i ir i W1 t women at niwu mver iour years ago. Williams was indicted 90 days since by the federal grand jury in Multnomah county for complicity in United States land frauds, and is now nnder $3,000 bonds. While in Portland a month ago, pleading to the indictment, his wife died at Whatcom, of strychnine poison ing, out wnetner taken with suicidal intent is not known. At the time Williams was indicted by the federal grand jury it was hinted that he was also wanted on the charge of murdering Miss AlmaNesbett and her mother, who occupied adjoining claims to the one he is accused of defrauding the government of in the Mount Hood settlement. Details of Williams' sup posed crime are that Williams and Miss Nesbett were friends in Omaha, Nebraska, . and came West together. They took np homesteads at Mount Hood and lived on adjoining . claims for about a year. Miss Nesbett's mother then came out from the East. One ark, Btormy night in March, 1900, Williams engaged a rig at a Hood River stable for the purpose of driving Miss NeBbett and her mother supposedly to their homesteads about 17 miles from town. The trio disappeared in the darkness, and, according to reports, that was the last ever seen of them. Long after that letters from friends and relatives in the East poured into the Mount Hood post office, and this led the officers to believe that foul play had been enacted, as it went to show that the women never returnd home. Wil- am8' neighbors had such strong suspi cions of him that he was forced to leave the country. The people of that neigh borhood have anything but compli mentary remarks for Williams. According to a report in the Oreeo- ian, very damaging evidence has been secured against Williams. A searching investigation was made of the premises, resulting in the discovery that the ground under an old chicken house had been broken. Digging, the searchers found the well-defined walls of a grave two feet wide by six feet lone, the around giving evidence of having been disturbed ithin a tew months. At the depth of seven feet several gunny sacks were discovered clotted and stiff with blood, and two large bunches of human hair, also blood-stained, one bunch gray and the other black, answering the descrip tion of the missing women's hair. A broken dish with hair clincine to the edges was also in the grave. Nothing lurtner was found. With these evidences of the crime he feared, Mr. Nesbett returned to Hood River and swore out the complaint be fore District Attorney Menifee. It is nts theory that Williams, becoming alarmed about the suspicions ex pressed concerning the Nesbetts' where abouts, and fearing that his premises might be searched, moved the bodies ithin a year to another hiding place. FARMERS Tl'RS IT DOWN. Continued from Page 2. man with the joker only smiled." The original motion was then called for, and by a viva voce vote it was lost mid a thunderous volley of "noes." Isenberg then moved that the chair appoint a committee of five to confer ith the alley Improvement Co a rep resentative and report at a second mass meeting one week hence. H. F. David son had something to say at this point. He considered time one of the prime factors of the situation, and moved that the next meeting be set for Tuesday af ternoon. A. C. Staten moved to amend that the committee's report include rec ommendations as to most feasible plan of procedure for the water consumers. The amended motion carried, and Chairman Jayne named on the commit tee, L.N. Benson, . C Evans, A. C. Staten, Fred Bailey, E. A. Franz. Fred ilson of The Dalles suggested that Mr. Jayne put himself on the committee, and immediately from all parts of the hall came shouts ol "Jayne! Jayne! Mr. Wilson put the question and it car ried with rousing cheer. Immediately following the mass raeet- ng the committee convened with Mr. Wagnon, at the office of N. C. Evans. The contract mas read over, and in the opinion of the committeemen there are several points that would require pass ing on by the courts before the risk could be taken of signing op for perpetual water rights. I he probability of the company aban bnimi the ditch after the farmers paid the f 30,000 was a question that bught p much discussion.

He replied that the right of the water consumers to go onto the ditch and bring down the water if it were not forthcoming was security enough. rred Bailey wanted to know if he did not sign the 30 contract, whether, with the water running by his farm as it had for the past five years, the company had the right to refuse to sell him water if he should tender the customary pay ment of $5 an inch. Mr. Wagnon gave as his opinion the perpetual water-right customers would have to be served first, and if there was any left, the eompany might let Mr. bailey have water if it wanted to. The Question was propound ed to Attorney Jayne, who, believing the laborer worthy of his hire, passed it up for the time being. the subject of prior rights brought to Mr. Benson's mind the agreement the Valley Improvement Co. made with number of the farmers when it took control of laterals, built by the farmers to get water from the Hood River Water Supply Co., and arranged to furnish water through said laterals at $5 an inch thereafter. It was seen that this is another question for the courts. Several other questions were discussed and finally Mr. Wagnon was asked what his company considered the ditch worth. He replied that before Mr. Chambers and himself came up the last time they didn't consider it so very valuable, but since looking over the situation he would say the ditch, as it stands today, is worth $75,000. A Glacier reporter wanted to know then why the company couldn't put up its own money for needed repairs and improvements,in Btead of demanding that the farmers foot the bill. He was 'politely told that that-was not a business proposition, and given to understand his question was impertinent. The subject of the splash dams of the Mount Hood Lumber Co., and their in fluence on the flow of water in theditch, came under discussion. The committee went into executive session, and before adjournment, Mr. Jayne was retained as attorney to look up points of law on securing a receiver for the ditch company ; have the flume repaired to furnish water this summer, and in the meantime let the farmers arrange to build a ditch of their own, or invite outside capital to do it for them. Farmers Inspect the Ditch. The following party' went over the course of the main ditch of the Valley Improvement Co., Sunday: John Moore, Roy (Smith, Andrew Sonnick son, Nets Nelson, Milton Pealer, F". W. Angus, Mr. Hoekins, C. E. Markham, Charles Reed and Fred Bailey. At the Glacier's request, Mr. Bailey prepared the following report ot a careful inspec tion made by himself and Charles Reed: At the head of the irrigating channel we found three log jams the first, consisting of 25 logs ut the mouth of the channel; the second, 30 logs direct ly in the channel; the third, 10 logs near where Hume begins. These logs range from 16 to 32 feet In length, and from 1 to 2 feet In diameter. Repair work necessary from bead of flume to 8. W. Arnold's place may be segregated as follows: 1. From head-gate to bridge, i.aoo feet of new flume must be built, 2. Bridge proper, 110-foot truss and 70 foot approaches, must be entirely re placed with new structure some tim bers of present bridge are actually rotten 3. One hundred and eighty-live feel from bridge east to bluff must be built new. 4. Eight hundred and thirty-five feet ot what is known as high trestle must i reinforced with uew legs (an ex pensive piece of work). 5. From high trestle to green timber, flume must be closely Inspected and re in for od with new legs and crotw ties. 6. Ninety feet of new flume has to be replaced at the green timber. 7. Frunv green limber to land slide must be clolv inspected for repairs. 8. One hundred and five feet of .up rights are out at land slide. From con servative view made by Charles Reed, flume walker for Valley Improvement Co., more of this flume will soon go out. At 3 p. in. Sunday, February 7, 1904, dirt was already sliding under 105 feet of flume. Repairs must Include new legs and cross ties. 9. Where flume is torn out, 221 feet of slashing has been done and ground la ready for ditching. 10. Three hundred and thirty feet from this point the ground is nearly all grubbed and ready for ditching. This brings us to 11. The Ross cut, 90 feet long, already ditched. 12. From this point to Jasper Wick ham's land, ditch tins been repaired and is practically in good condition. 13. One hundred feet of new flume, to connect with flume on Jasper Wick ham's land, must be built, for which foundation and legs are already up. 14. Fom here, 000 feet of ground is ready for ditching. Here the Van Johnson place is reached, and then 15. To John Kelley's place, 000 feet of dirt ditch is nearly completed. 16. The 600 feet to John Hakel's placets ready for ditching, with top plowed do n. 17. Flume to E. E. Lyons' place, 3,140 feet, has upper side torn out in sections to admit of widening. 18. Two rocky points will require blasting, and this whole flume, to make it practically safe, will need new legs and cross ties, and new lumber for flume. 19. Canal from Lyons' to Arnold's is practically all dirt ditch and is In good condition, with the exception oi a poor grade here and there, and u weak em bankment at several points. Death of Florence Cox. Miss Florence Cox, daughter of S. H. Cox, died at her father's residence, Fri day, F'ebruary 5, 1904, after three weeks' Buffering from typhoid fever. F'uneral services were conducted Saturday after noon at the M. li. church by Rev W. C. Evans. The classmates of Miss Cox, the pupils of Miss Schungcl's room, at tended the funeral in a body. Fluch pu pils presented a beautiful floral offering. The young women of Hood River also sent wreaths and profusions of flowers. Burial was at Idlewilde cemetery. Florence Edith Cox was born in Hood River valley September 10, 1889. Her mother died in 1899. She leaves four Bisters, a brother and father to mourn her departure. She was a bright young girl, and at rational periods during bur suffering, she assured those around her she was prepared for the future. Friends and neighbors of the family were kind and thoughtful in their assistance and the bereaved family is truly grateful for all kindness shown. W. R. C. Social. The dinner given by the W. R C. at Carmichael hall, last Saturday, was well attended, and all hands were bountifully supplied with eatables. The hall was decorated with flags and Oregon grape. In the evening there was a splendid pro gramme consisting of songs, recitations and tableaux. A little girl who was present said to her grandmother:" Why, grandma, every piece gets better.doesn't it?" And this fully expresses all that could be said, for all did their best and the W. R. C. considered it a success. A large audience was present, and after the programme most of the young folks stayed, and spent the remainder of the evening playing games. . The only fault to be found was the small price the women charged for admission and their delicious refreshments. This is the first entertainment ever given on the hill, but will not be the last, as all expressed themselves as having en joyed such a pleasant evening. Pleasant Gathering at Catner Home. The ladies of the "Just Among Our selves Club" entertained their husbands and a few friends.last Thursday evening at the home of Mr. aud Mrs. G. R. Cast ner. After a social visit the following programme was rendered: Roading Mrs G R Castner Song Mrs E J Nicholson Recitation M rs Joh n Castner Paper Mrs Charles Metcalf Character song Mrs J VV Ingalls Reading Mrs F G Church Recitation Mrs G R Castner Reading Mrs E J Nicholson The programme was most enjoyable, and those who took part were the re cipients of numerous compliments, es pecially (. R. Castner, who favored the assembled company with a classical se lection for which he is voted the thanks of the club. The featureof the evening was the game of Flinch, which created much merriment, as the ladies had the leap year privilege of selecting their partners for the game. They were a little slow in availing themselves, but finally over came their timidity much to the relief of the gentlemen. Later in the evening dainty refresh ments were served, after which the com pany soon dispersed, thanking the host and hostess for their genial hospitality. Those present were : Mr and Mrs G R Castner, Mr and Mrs John Castner, Mr and Mrs William F'arrell, Mr and Mrs J W Andritson,Mr and Mrs F G Church, Mr and Mrs B FHhoemaker,Mrand Mrs J W Ingalls, Mr and Mrs Charles Met calf, Mrs K J Nicholson, Mrs Andrew Limit: 8, Miss Olga Lindus, Will Met calf.
