there will be a decided movement this
summer in Hood itiver real estate. A
large number of Portland people are
making inquiries for locations here, and
several of them have arranged to erect
cottages in the beautiful wooded groves
adjacent to the Country Club Inn. "As
soon as warm weather comes on, Mrs.
Munra will be up to again take charge
of the Inn, and as soon as school is
closed, Mrs. Batchelder and children
will come prepared to spend the sum

the valley,' Sunday, and he says the
great amount of improvement every

so much work was going on. He thinks
there is a very bright outlook for a pros
perous summer this year in Hood River.
Little Lawrence Hershner may be
seen on the streets almost every day
now, walking with his crutches. Mr.
Hershner returned with him from Port
land on the 1st instant. The physicians
there thought that with plenty of exer
cise in the fresh air, and the massage
treatment on his limb, he would finally
reach complete recovery. His hip is
very stiff and it will be a long time be
fore he can walk without crutches. He
took sick on November 7, and was a
great sufferer , until about one month
ago. it is a great reliel to his parents
to see him as well as he is.

That the railroad to Dufur will be built

O. R. Castner goes on crutches, the
result of a severe cut on his right foot.
Mr. Castner was trimming a post at the

his foot a glancing blow across the toes.
Several cords were severed, and the
wonder is that he did not lose all his
toes. It required five stitches to close
the wound.
The Dalles is soon to lose one of its

Baud Minstrel a Orand Success.
It was a warm bunch of coons that
the Pastime Quartet introduced, by a
good plantation song, to a fairly good
and thoroughly apreeiative audience in
the opera house b riday night.
The band boys labored under adverse
circumstances, as their tuba player and
end man, MarBh Isenberg, was ill with
pneumonia and unable to play. Just
the same, their performance was a suc
cess, and their next appearance should
draw a crowded house. With one ortwo
exceptions their jokes were new, and
the two whiskered items which crept
in were so excellently rendered that
their age was lost sight of. The hit by
the Pastime Quartet was made in re
sponse to an encore when they rendered
a comic song in which Mr. Dunbar de
clared that his vocation in life was
wheeling out grunts to the pigs in a
pig-iron foundry. .
There was not a muff in the entire
aggregation and good hits were the rule.
Orville Lakin was the coon of coons in
his makeup and doesn't si em to know
it. With a little training in facial ex
pression and posing he could paralyze an
audience without uttering a word. The
song and dance man, whose disguise was
too good for the Ulacier man to pene
trate, was a peach. He was called back
and did his stunt with the air and ease
of a "perfesh.". The debating society
was a good number, and "nigger" like,
the chairman ignored the judges, him
self rendered the decision to a heated de
bate and precipitated a lively row. The
curtain came down with the chairman
yielding a razor about a foot long and
chasing the debaters. The bad Indian
was another good one; but if the boys
will pardon a little criticism, to an old
'49er it seemed rather strange to see the
noble red man shed his blanket and do
the scalp act wUh a great big "razzer"
at the same time omit giving the old
time scalp halloo; however, these inno
vations on the old regime may be the
result of the refining influence of mod
ern civilization. Another bit of criti
cism could be made in reference to the
long waits between scenes. If these
could be shortened or eliminated alto
gether it would add much to the enter
tainment. The music by the band was most ex
cellent considering the experience of
the organization and the old, battered,
wornout instruments used, some of
which evidently came across the plains
in the early '50s. We are proud of our
band boys, and want them to get their
new instruments and uniforms and oth
er property pertinent to a first class min
strel company as soon as possible, and
give ns another entertainment soon.
There is some of the very best of ma
terial in their personnel, and with their
able leader, Chris Nickelsen, there is no
reason apparent why they cannot give
as good entertainments as any minstrel
company on the road. They can be
sure of a full bouse next time. The

The compositions were original and

of logic and facts. A peanut race, won

Regius $8000 Improvement to Hotel.
Lumber is being unloaded and work
men are already breaking ground for
extensive improvements to the Mount
Hood hotel. C. L. Gilbert, the pro
prietor, tells the Glacier he has ar
ranged to expend some $8000 In mak
ing his hotel one of the largest and best
equipped hostelries in Wasco county.
The improvements under way include
the erection of a 80x90 three-story an
nex on the south end of the building.
The present structure will be moved
back from River street to permit of a
spacious two-story colonial porch ex
tending full length on the north and
east shies of the hotel. The roof of the
old building will be raised,, making the
whole structure three stories, 90x100 in
extent. A basement will be occupied
with steam heating apparatus.
Mr. Gilbert expects to have these im
provements completed by May 20. A
large fotce of men have been engaged
for the work under the supervision of
Contractor S. H. Cox, mid everything
will be rushed to completion in time
for the big invasion of settlersand tour
ists already heading this way.
When completed, the Mount Hood
hotel will contain 83 sleeping rooms,
affording accommodations, for at least
125 guests. The office has recently
been remodeled and enlarged. A bar
ber shop has been added, with L. C.
Uaynes in charge. The annex to the
south will contain a large sample room
for the commercial men. Ruth rooms
will le added to each floor and the din
ing room enlarged to 24x5li. To the
west, Mr. Gilbert's property affords
room for a 33x100 brick annex, which
he expects to put up next full. This
will give 40 additional rooms, making
a total of 123, and giving Hood River
the most commodious hotel in Eastern
Oregon.
Odd Fellows to Erect Two-Story Jlrick
The wooden structure between the
Paris Fair and Bartmess' furniture
store, occupied last, summer by O. li.
Hartley's grocery, was torn down .Mon
day, and stone masons are laying the
foundation for a two-story brick, w hich
is being built by Idlewilde lodge of the
I.O. O. F. It is intended to complete
the work by May 15, when the Taris
Fair will occupy the ground floor as an
annex to their present over-crowded
store room. When the funds permit it,
the Odd Fellows expect to extend the
brick to the corner, giving them a 50
foot frontage, and a 100-foot depth, lie
cause hard pan is so near the surface on
this block, it is considered impractical
to attempt an excavation for basement.
The building is estimated to cost
$3,500. Work is being done by the day
under the supervision of three lodge
members Andy -Gatchi-11, William
Ganger aiid Lou Morse. The crowding
of so many goods in the Paris Fair store
works a great inconvenience on these
merchants, and they are anxiously
awaiting the day when they can occupy
