Editor Glacier: My time Is ho much taken up with home affairs that I seldom go out to- observe the astonishing improve ments that are being mde all through the valley. The fact is I should hard ly know, if not from the Information I get from the Glacier, hut what Hood Kiver was yet a ''howling wilderness" us it was when I settled here in 1876. But the Glacier has not told all. Its Argus eyes have overlooked a spot that did me more good to see than any spot I ever gazed at during a two-years' tramp through North America, Central America, South America and the Sand wich Islands. That spot, sacred to a poet, a lover of the grand and beautiful, lies about two miles from Hood Kiver depot, down the Columbia river. When I came here it was claimed and occupied by John Dye, a white man' who with a squaw held the .place in joint occu pancy, and among the rocks the squaw' managed to raise cn mi if h garden veg- etables to partially subsist on after washing their "muckaruuck" down with copious draughts of whisky. As lonu s the whisky lasted, John and his squaw were oblivious to all other eanniy events aim my Buuriug ing embrace in their blankets, not car ing a cent how the world wagged out Hide of t heir little cloth-covered heaven. John's squaw was once the mistress of Fhll Sheridan, who immortalized niro selfinthe civil war. By this squaw Sheridan had a daughter. Tbisdaugh ter married a half-breed named Olney, a relative of Judge Olney, who died at Astoria in 188, if I remember rightly. Sheridan's daughter was an exception ally good looking woman. She was proud of bei yg the "daughter of a big chief," andNher mother was equally proud. After Sheridan left her, he told me she had -lived with four or five white men before she fell In with Iye, who seemed to be just the affinity she had looked for, as he was willing to spend all his earnings for whisky. Dye and Jiis squaw left and to Now is the Time To put HoytV Patent Tree Supj torts on your fruit trees; The cut shows how they work.

The house is all removed hut the chimney, made of nieces of rock, which 1 am told Mrs, Camphell and the children built while Mr. Campbell was sick I told Bob Hand to let it stand. Let no impious band defile a-single stone ia it. Let it stand for posterity to gaze at it as a sacred monument of pioneer times. I still remember when, in 1809, Wendell Phillips showed me the place where Daniel Webster's house once stood. I told Mr. Phillips the man who tote that house down ought to be hung. I think Bob Hand has poetry enough in his soul to let no vandal disturb one of its stones.

Uncle Bob has built a hotel on its very verge. One can sit on his porch, see the waters go roaring over the falls and feel Its cool, refreshing influence. He cau look down and see the railroad cars dragged by the iron horse and carrying its precious freight of human life up and down the river several times a day. He also has a clear view of the Columbia river for 15 or more miles, where steamers, load ed with freight and passengers, are constantly disturbing the waters where rolls me Oregon." one to ap preciate ttie place ought to visit it.

He expects to rim no cheap John house, but such a place as poets and rellned people will enjoy and are able to pay for. -A man who spends money freely to improve, adorn and beautify the lountry is a useful citisen aud ought to have the credit due him. W..L. Adams. Host Paper in Oregon. Mrs. Elsie Bartholomew of Bissells, Ohio, forwarded the Glacier the price of a subscription aud says her family eipects to come to Hood Kiver soon. Continuing, Mrs. Bartholomew says: "We would like to rent a piuce tor one year ou share. Mr. liartholoroew does not want to sell his farm here in Ohio until be has tried it a year in Oregon. I was there last year and worked for Mr. Jenkins in strawberry time and liked Hood River very much.
