Dalles Boys Defeat Hood Birer.
The Hood River juniors met a decis
ive defeat in their game at The Dalles,
Sunday. The Dalles team scored 19
runs to 5 for the Bull Dogs from Hood
Kiver. The boys explain their defeat
by saying their regular team did not
play. The battery and ihe short stop
were anout tne oniy om piayors wuo
went to The Dalles.
The Bull Dogs are more determined
than ever to defeat the dudes from the
city, and make the assertion that they
will "wipe the diamond with them
next time. Saturday afternoon the boys
will play a team from Mount Hood.
Following is a lineup of the players
as they faced each other at The Dalles :

To Extend the Rural Fbonea.
J. W. Glesaner and L. A. Newton,
solicitors for the Pacific States Tele
phone company, are in Hood River en
deavoring to secure subscribers for ad
ditional telephone service on the coun
try circuits. It is the intention of the
company, provided the subscribers are
Kcured, to place four additional party
lines on the East Side and half that
many on the West Side., If the re
quired number of patrons are secured,
the company will cut down the number
of subscribers on the rural parly lines,
As it is at present there are too many
phones on one line, and the service is
said to be very unsatisfactory. This
situation will be relieved by more lines
and fewer phones to the line'
The rural phones in most instances
has been found to be a success. Since
the farmers have had the phones placed
in their homes they say they cannot do
without them, and others aware of the
convenience of this means of quick com
munication are anxious to secure the
vice. If the additional wires will
improve the service, there will be bund-
ids oi Hood Kiver people well pleased.
Can't Sell Frnlt at Trains.
The boys who have been accustomed
to selling fruit to the passengers at the
depot are very indignant at the railroad
company because ol an order from
headquarters to cease all such sales
hereafter. Station Agent Kinnaird tells
the Glacier that the Berkley Bros, have
a franchise for exclusive peddling of
fruits on the O. R. A N. trains, and
they object seriously to the boys at
Hood River interfering with their mon
opoly. The railroad company notiiied
tne agent here early in the season that
the practice of the boys should cease.
Mr. Kinnaird made an effort to have
the former marshal stop the boys from
trespassing on the railroad right of way,
but in this he was unsuccessful. The
other day a second order came along
catling attention to the previous order,
and wanting to know why it was not
enforced. Marshal Olingsr was called
upon, but he finds difficulty in trying to
keep the bovs from making sales.
Mr. Day, a new comer, in speaking
to the Glacier editor regarding this
matter considered the action ot the rail
road very overbearing. He said his
boy was earning as much as $1.70 a day
peddling truit at the trams.
Hand Cut Off In Saw Mill.
William, the 20-year-old son of W. H.
Eccles, vice president of the Oregon
Lumber Co., met with a serious acci
dent while operating a cutotl In the
big sawmill, Monday, shortly after
noon, in some manner, the young
man's band became caught in the teeth
of the saw and his fingers were taken
off at the knuckles. The Injured boy
was driven in a carriage to the ollice of
Dr. Dumble, where the wound was
dressed by Drs. Watt and Dumble.
Later in the aiternoon the young man
was taken to Portland, where he will
receive treatment in the hospital. The
physicians think there Is a possibility
of saving some of the fingers.
It appears that Mr. Eccles had placed
an extra heavy piece of timber on the
trimmer. The timber did not slide
easiiy, and giving a vigorous shove hie
hand slipped, and in the hundredth
art ot a second the teeth ol the circu
ar saw had sunk deep into the bones of
his fingers.

ROUGH WINDS -
TVRECK SPENCER
The Steamer Spencer was driven
ashore on the sandp. Tuesday morning,
Deiween squally I'olnt and Kowena on
the Oregon side of tho Columbia. A
heavy gale was blowing at the time, and
theDallesCity, who heard her distress
signals could not reach the disabled
steamer because of the high wind and
rough water. The Spencer lies within .
20 feet of the shore, with a large load
of freight on board.
1 ho pilot of the Dalles City when seen
by a Glacier reporter said he thought
the steamer must have met with somo
nccident to her machinery and was thus
forced to go onto the Bands. 1 Ho did not
think it would be possible to pull the
steamer off with another boat. She will
in all likelyhood have to be slid off.
C. H. Strtmahan and E. T. Wlnans,
who were passengers on the Dalles City,
reported the log chains on the Spencer
to be broken, ami said that steam was
escaping from the sides of the hull.
1 hey thought from appearances that the
spencer must be pretty badly injured.
it was at ijj'ie mat tne people on the
Dalles City first noticed the distress
signals of the Bpencer. Every effort
was mane io. gel to the (Spencer, but
the high wind and shallow water made
this impossible. Captain Johnstone was
at the wheel when the vessel was wreck
ed. Last winter the Spencer was length
ened 30 feet, and it is thought that the
rough weather wrenched the hull of the
steamer, and spread her steam pipes.
If so, the boat is in a serious 'plight and
will possibly be put out of commission
for several weeks or longer. Only next
Monday the Spencer Co. had arranged
for the steamer to make daily round
tripB between Portland and The Dalles.
Later information from the Snencer is
that the steamer broke a hog chain andv
was forced to go on the sands. The pas
sengers were taken ashore in small
boats and transferred to the afternoon
passenger train for Portland. There
was aboard the Spencer a large suimlv
of beef and beer for Hood River.
The little steamer Sadie B. made the
uptrip in the morning but did not re
turn in the afternoon.

that he could not swim. No one wit
nessed the tragedy. '
Willis has been- employed on the
Spencer since she went into commission
about two months ago. Prior to that ho
had worked on different boats plying on
the Willamette and Columbia rivers.
Ho was about 27 years of age and un-
married, u is nuueved that he came
from Switzerland originally, but he has
made Portland bis home for a good
many years. He has no relatives here.

Berries Showed up Fine.
A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch in the
Chicago Parker of July 2, says : '
"The fi rst car Oregon Strawberries ever
received in Cleveland, came June 21 con
signed to the Gordon-Wonnell Co. The
car was delayed somewhere en route and
met with slow sale on account of home
grown crop coming in heavy. The
quality of the fruit was fine, stock high
and evenly colored, and a good shipping
lierry. The Gorden-Wonnoll Co. pre
dict a brilliant future for Oregon straw
berries.
Miss Mabel Riddell, principal of the

Sunday, the mercury in the govern
ment thermometer atD.N.Byerlee's, the
local weather observer, showed the
temperature to be 02. At The Dalles the -same
day, the thermometer is reported
as registering 97.
