ever been in. With such expressions
of sentiment we feel called - npon to

for bim to tear himself away now.

Jesse Imbler and. ia one of the mod
popular young men in this district, and
well worthy a beautiful and lovable

able young lady. She formerly clerked

We extend to this fortunate and bappy

be one long and continuous round of
bliss and may discontent and discord
never be au event of their life and may
old age discover them to be still in the
enjoyment of their honeymoon, is the
fervent wish of all Barrett. They are at

The special oug service of the Valley

iJiHi einmay wire ami i attended a
temperance rally in Dukes valley, Mr.
Bradley of Hood River and M. D. Odell
of this place being the principal shak
ers. Prohibition and local option were
the tonics tinder consideration. As is
generally th.e case, few vorters were
present to hear the arguments pre
sented. An urgent plea was made, and
perhaps justly for a local option law,
but not a word was sa d about that
other, snd to my mind better proposed
law, to-wit: the nominating primary
ballot law. If such a law were adopted
by the voters in June it would .enforce
itself and go farther toward eliminating
frand and conniption at the h1Is than
wonld local option. The Australian
liallot was a long stride in the wat of re
form In the liallot system . It is not so
much laws that we' want enacted but
the enforcement of the good laws al
ready enacted. Along the line of re
form this proposed nominating ballot
law would give every - man an equal
show with the buns politician and his
hirelings to place his name before the
people aa a candidate for snv otfice he
saw fit to aspire. This law enacted and
the primaries would practically prove
an election. And it would be an elec
tion in ewry sense of the word, just as
is our general election and woirUI simply
be endorsed t such general election.
It is my opinion that alonir moral ami
educational lines, and those only, will
tne temperance question ever be solved
to the satisfaction of prohibitionists
themselves, and the only wav to roriwt
any evil is.along shese iines. The poli
tician is on to his jobknowing it is one

Union Oil company, owning the tank

New Industry for Hood River.
Al Zoek ha purchased ten acre of
the Ferguson tract, two and one-half
miles south and will establish a brick
yard. Samples of the clay have been
tested and found to be of a very good
quality. Mr. Zeek will burn two kilns
this season, and promises to have one
kiln ready for the local market in sixty
days. With the large amount of build
ing going on and contracted for in this
vicinity, brick yard will be a very
desirable addition to the business inter
em for borne use alone, aside from the
employment given to labor. It is also
probable that the Council will establish
fire limits in the near future, and there '
will be a much larger demand for brick "
than before.
Ghastly Find on the Ball Grounds. '
While grading the base ball ground,
and just after taking off tbe first layer
of earth, the plow turned up a skull,
which upou examination proved to be
that of an Indian. Further investiga
tion brought to light nine of these relic
of some tragedy ot other day.
Col. O. B. Hartley, who ha charge of
the work at the ball grounds, lined these
skulls no on the fence surrounding the
field and they were viewed by score of
people during the day. The skull were
not accompanied by any other portion of
the skeleton of the owners, but were ap
parently taken from the bodies and
buried, whilelhe skeletons were disposed
of in some other manner. There is a
rumor that atone time the inhabitant
of this part of the country were given to
canibahsm. It is therefore very proba
ble that the skulls were those of some
captive who were butchered to fill tbe
larder, or supply theUiuterial of a great
feast of some hvas tyee before the foot of
the white man bad poluted the land. A
portion of the skulls bore the mark of the
tomahawk, proving conclusively that the
owners had met with a violent death.
Another theory is that these skull be
longed to captives which had been of
fered in sacrifice, the other portion of
the bodies having been burned, and
these skulls kept as trophies of war, as
was the habit of some of the aborigines.
It is impossible to arrive' at a definite
conclusion, because of our inability to
even approximate the date of their bur
ial, l hey were found about two feet be
low the surface, and it cannot be told
what portion of the soil wa placed over '
them, if any, and what was the accumu
lation of the decades since they were
placed there,
0. L. Stranahan savs when he came
here the Indians had so many sweat
houses on this land that it had to be
graded down before it could be culti
vated. These sweat houses, as they are
called, were the Indian hospital, where
medicine men treated all diseaser their
dusky patients were heir to, and all ail
ments were given the same treatment.
Were it not for the marks of the toma
hawk, one might infer that these were
the victims of those early diciples of
iKHCulopiiiB. In any event these relics
of earlier Hood River days will lie in
teresting ' subjects of thought to those
who like to study the history of our
country prior to the advent of the white
man. the Glacier would suggest that
those having the skulls communicate
with George H. Himes, Portland, Or.,
who would doubtless lie very glad to
place one or more of them in the His
torical Society's museum. Col. Hartly
says the skulls disapiieared, but we do
not infer that they still retain their old
proclivity for making themselves invisi
ble, which rendered them so dangerous '
to our early settlers.
Commencement Exercises.
The curtain arose to a packed house
at the opera . Friday night, the
sweet girl graduate looked her prettiest,
and the future governors and presidents
appeared as if to the manor born. The
exercises were ojH-ned with a gong by
the graduating class and invocation by
Rev. J. L. Hershner.
Miss Stella Parsons then gava the
salutatory, which was a fine effort
excellently rendered and - was well
received by the audience. The recita
tion "Old Ace" was given by Miss
Treiber in faultless style and brought
down the hoiise.and the finale.was with
out doubt,highly appreeiatedby manipu
lators of the pastelxiards, and secured a
prolonged encore from the spectators.
But the recitation pantomime from
the 'Courtship of Miles Stulidish" was
the best of ull.
The recitations describing the panto
mimic scenes were exceedingly well
rendered. The speakers enunciated
learly and distinctly and with spirit.
so that the hearers understood every
word and entered into the spirit of the
theme ; while the actors were unap
proachable in their performance.
Miles Standish, the noble cantain of
the Pilgrims, was the correct thing,
even to his whiskers: and Charles
Roberts, who appeared as John Allien,
was an ideal performer and, although
naturally a bashful lad, in the courting
scene he put his arms around the
pretty Priscilla's neck as if -it was the
happiest moment oi his lite. '
Horatio Wood gave the selection of
the lad attending the circus, from
"David Harum" in fine style. Vera
Allen "Saved St. Michael" in a manner
that was appreciated by the audience
anil elicited a hearty tncore to the.
little lady.
The piano solo by Miss Florence
Hanna was well rendered. "The mar
riage of Jim Fenton" by Frances Bragg
was an excellent number. Master
Merrill Gessling delivered a particular
ly good valedictory in a sturdy, busi
nesslike way characteristic of the lad,
and it is hoiied his fellow pupils may
be able to follow his advice and moke

ladder that leads them to honor and to

Acting Suiierintendent J. T. Neff
with a few appropriate remarks then
presented each member of the class
with a diploma and the entertainment
was ended with the class song.
the class this year is the largest ever

the others would also have passed the
examination.
A small admission fee of 15 nentsi
was charged and even the instriirtm-a
of the school marched up to the ticket
seller and paid the admission fee. The
proceeds w -re for the benefit of the
