Sot Mr. Frank A. Cram, Hood River, Ore. Dear Sir: , - On my return from Hood River after investigating the case against Al Foote and Fred White for larceny in your store, I confronted them with the evidence I had found while down there. They at first strenuously denied the whole affair and sa id there must be some mistake about it. However, J filed an information, and after thinking the matter over until this morning, they seem to have con cluded we had the right ones and entered a plea of guilty before Judge Bradshaw and were sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Will you kindly advise Mr. Olinger, as he was making some further inquiries which will not now be necessary. You might also, as a matter of news, if you desire, tell the Glacier people about it. This will save the county considerable ; expense, and we will not have to annoy any of you about appearing as wit nesses. Yours very truly. FRANK MENEFEE. O. R. & N. TIME TABLE.

The paper is tun oi war news ami uouuuhb tion of the copperheads the democrats, who at that time were supporting Gen eral McClellffn for president against Abraham Lincoln, nominated for a sec ond term. Politics in those days was hot as well as war news. Ex-President Buchanan is referred to as that old blear eyed traitor. The dead rebel General Morgan is spoken of as a thief and a coward. Grant was hammering away on the rebel works at Petersberg and Sherman had but recently taken Atlanta. The draft was being enforced, and a long list of Adams county citizens who had drawn the right to serve in the army was published. The new pharmacy of Rowley & Co. opened for business, last week, on Hood River heights, in a brand new and neat ly fitted building, with a brand new stock of drugs.paints and sundries.

James Farley, the merchant at Moon ey's corner, has taken in a partner, J.B. Fletcher, recently from Oswego. Mr. Fletcher's family are living in the Mooney house. Mr. Fletcher was in Portland last week arranging to sell his ranch at Oswego so he might buy prop erty in Hood River. Commissioner Hibbard, while at The Dalles, last week, looked up the law in regard to the paying of road poll taxes.

There is talk of a base ball league with surrounding towns and indications are that there will be some cracker-jack base ball in Hood River this summer.

After the matter of changing the dates had been fully discussed, the adju tant poured oil on the troubled waters by stating tnat tne pnnreu oruero giving the dates of the encampment had been sent out to the three different orders that will hold their conventions here, and it is now too late to change the dates.

Shaw returned last Saturday from Oregon City, where he went on invitation to auena a uanquei. of the Commercial club, of whicn or ganisation he was a leading memrjer ior many years, i ne capmin people everywhere inquiring about Hood River, and that about every man he met was planning to visit this city with one or more of the several conventions, en campments and excursions billed for the coming summer and fall. Speaking of the banquet at uregon v,ny, -pmiu Shaw said: Mhebanouet was the outpouring of the business men of the city in a social gathering, with the object of bringing together men of all shades of business throughout the city into one harino nioua gathering to talk over methods of the upbuilding of their city; its civic and sanitary needs, as well as it ethical standing. The meeting was largely at tended and was harmonious through out, lasting until long after the mid night hour. Judging from what I know personally of the character and standing or those present, there will be no lack of pnh in the Falls City." When asked if he thought it would be a irood nlan for the people of Hood River o come together socially, after the man ner of the Oreiron City business men, the cantain replied that he believed it to be productive of much gocd for busi Pnrt of ml JSM DdhUpfC We still have good sizes in first quality iVllDDcriS rubber footwear time to need 'em yet.

Men who, heretofore have not been in the habit of attending these encampments say that we can look for them this year. Now, in this connection, I believe It would be well if the Glacier would keep reminding the people f the city and valley that they will have to take hold with the Grand Army post and Women's Relief Corps.and help provide entertain ment for these honored guests, who come among them upon their invitation, and who in all probability will never visit Hood River again. There seems to be a fear among some of those I met that Hood River could not take care of all who will come. I assured them that Hood River would take care of that part of the programme, and for them to come and bring all of their friends and relations. Everybody seems to want to come to Hood River at least .once be fore they dioj? An Afternoon With Miss Jackson.

Boyed and Betbe sang. At 12 o'clock a dainty lunch was served, after which a few of the young folks had their fortunes told, but owlug to the lateness oi ini;our the fortune-teller run dow n aud could not give them all a peep into the fu ture. It was 1:30 a. ui. when the guests bade their fair hostess adieu and de parted, one and all expressing them selves as having had a most pleasant evening.

But on Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock, after receiving a small sandwitch for breakfast, the party commenced stringing out on the trail to the number of about 100 passen gers, leaving behind 15 women and children and some Un men who were too old or crippled to nis lie the trip with safety. All who started with the ex ception ot four, went through to the Cascades the first day without accident, except a few frot4 ears and fingers, four only failed by the way from rheu matism or exhaustion, and were left at farm houses to rest up, and finally came in the next dav. At Cascade Locks all were kindly re ceived and furnished with comfortable lodgings in hotels and at the govern ment quarters. Here we spent a pleas ant Christmas and were invited to tur key dinner at our kind host's, George Gardner's, and the younger portion of the party joined in a dance Christmas night" Another account says: "For the first four days there wasa fair supply of cigars and tobacco, those accustomed to the use of the weed hav ing bought some at The Dalles. Then the stock of the newsboy was drawn on, and the samples of three drummers. On Tuesday there was nothing left to smoke or chew,' and no tobacco wri packed in.
