Ibis year's building; activity promises
to surpass the. big strides Hood River
made last year. E L. Smith, it is un

the corner now occupied by MayeB Bros.,
and probably a one-story brick on the
adjoining lot to the east. J. E. Rand,
tl)9 merchant, will occupy the Smith
brick when completed. The Odd Fel
lows' two-story brick is going up as fast
as material can be secured. The walls
of this building are 16 inches thick, suf
ficient for the addition of a third story
when needed. P. F. Fouts is excavat
ing for his three-story brick hotel, and
expects the contractors to take charge
about May 1. The improvements to
C. L. Gilbert's Mount Hood hotel are
well under way. His 84-room hostelry
will soon be in shape to accommodate
the big rush of visitors already headed
this way.

T. C. Dallas complains that several
boys about town have taken delight iu
fooling )ith the electric lights lie has
kept every night for the past year on hie
Burner for the benefit of the public. In
this time he has had to buy new burn
ers because of the boys breaking the
glass. At other times they have turned
off the lights. Sunday night last the
burner was again demolished, evidently
by some one striking it with" a cane r a
club, as the glass was scattered along
down the sidewalk. Such malicious
mischief as this deserves severe punish
ment, and The Roys will certainly get it
if they persist in the contemptible work.
Mr. Dallas donates this light for the
public good, and should be protected if
there is any law that will reach the
perpetrators of such vandalism.
Burnette E. Duncan is up from Port
land cultivating his 12 acres of orchard
on the East Side and preparing ground,
for more trees, sir. Duncan, last week,
came out of the Burlington ollice in
Portland, where he has been employed
all winter, and feeling hungry for out
door labor, pitched in during the hot
spell of last week, but the enervating
weather proved too much for his ardent
spirits and ha was glad to hunt the
shade wigi a well developed case of
spring fever. The welcome change in
the weather the latter part of the week
fixed him all right again for work.
W. R. Hoole received, last week, the
incorporation papers from Sah m for the
Valley Christian church. This church
has been organized for nine yefers, but
not until Rev. A. . Beery stirred up
his congregation to the importance of
incorporating and securing proper title
to the church nrorerty was any move
made in this matter. Mr. Hoole kindly
consented to do the4egal work for the
congregation, and' lie expects soon
to have everything established on a bus
iness basis. The incorporators for the
church are Thomas Bishop, Fjed Miller
and J. N. Bridges. , -
Mrs. B. 8. Olinger, last week, received
a letter from her wrother, Frank Back
as of, Spokane, conveying the sad in
telligence of the death of his daughter,
Mrs. Lottie Hamilton. She died tif
cancer of the breast. Lottie was well
known in Hood Rivur, where she was
born and grew to womarthood. The let
tar further states that Mrs. dinger's
sister, Mrs. Kiger, and her husband had
both died at Tucson, Arizona. Mrs.Kiger
died of fever and her husband of par
alysis. Frank Chandler and other residents
on the hill are circulating a petition
asking the council to order a ' sidewalk
buiM on the street leading north from
Sherman avenue back of Dr. Watt's res
idence to the top of the hill. The peti
tioners also ask that this street be
graded. This is the one street most ac
cessible to a large number of residents
on the hill and the Glacier hopes the
council will see fit to grant what the
petitioners pray for.

They came with such force and with
such a volume of water that they
bursted through the double boom at
the mouth ot Hood river aftd proceeded
on their way toward the ocean. Soon
as the accident became known Manager
Early organized his forces for the re
covery of the logs. Some were caught
between bere. and Menominee, othera
at that point and still others at points
farther pelow. Mr. Early says it is pos
sible that they may save two-thirds ol .
the logs. Even so the loss is a neat
sum as the logs were worth 5 a thous
and in the river, and to those lost will
have to be added the expense ol salvage
of those caught. And the 1,000,000 feet
of logs means nearly a month's run at
the mill, which will, of course, be that
much of a lose to all concerned.
One day last week "Uncle BillV" Ellis
received a photograph from his young

as to the age of his son, when it was found
to be missing. The house was searched
completely, Mr. Ellis says, but the good
book could not be lound. lie is puzzflBd
to know what has become of it and is
afraid some pilferer has carried it off as
he has been unable to get any trace of it.
The bible contains a full record of the
births and marriages, etc.. of his entire
family, and Uncle Billy, while he doesn't
blame any one for stealing a bible, for it
is'the best of all books, he Is afraid
that some of the boys might forget how
old they are and would like very much
to have the book returned.
