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.

would be too busy at that time to give
much attention to the visitors to the en

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

the cantain replied that he believed it

acquainted with each other, "lou
know all men are better than they,
seem, and none of us are as black as we
are painted, and by frequent coming
together we will find this out.
"Hood Uiver can look forward to
having the largest meeting of old sold
iers that has ever come together in
Oregon. I find among all the boys ade-
Bire to come to Hood Kiver tnis year ana
eat our luscious strawberries. 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

went with Harry Bailey on his mail
route Tuesday. Mr. Hershey says the
roads on the route in some places are

and snow storm. 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

"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. It is needless to remark
that it was a total abstinence crowd
Irom necessity."
