Horatio (ioet Camplot;. .
Saturday evening his satanic magesty
o( the Glacier force, in company with
Harold Hershner, Homer Wood, Mayor
Dano and Harold Wood took the Over
land Route via Belmont and Rordan's
for Dead Point, where they played the
Wild Buccaneers of the Cascades. The
only victims to their prowess they have
so tar confessed were the wild blackber
ries, ot which they brought home 23
quart boxes besides the bushels they
ate of them in their native wilds. Our
devil brought bis sweetheart, our lady
compositor, a box of the choicest ones
which the happy pair generously shared
with the remainder of the force. The
berries were fine and the employes voted
Horatio a brick. It was a fortunate
circumstance for Fred Rordan that the
juveniles had no fire arms with them
for if they had, his Angora buck would
undoubtedly nave been morooned to
iilay the part of polar bear in a grand
hunt. The boys aver that the bears.
elk, cougars, deer and all big game ex
cept mosquitoes hava been enticed away
trom their mountain fastnesses by the
fascinating "wilds" of the late Picnick
ing parties at Maple Dell and other
lasnionaoie ouung resorts. iney say
they didn't even see sea serpent. One
uncharitable listener remarked that the
boys must bave forgotten their snake
bite remedy, as the cause. The boys
say they slept in the sawdust of an old
sawmill site and the time of their lives.
If a rood manv of the old er feneration
could grab up their blankets once or
twice each summer and tear themselves
away from business.daily toil, scrapping
with their neighbors, grumbling at their
own particularly hard jot, or whatever
else tbev may be encased at and iust no
out into the mountains, climb around
until tired, camp and eat with such a
voracious appetite as can be acquired in
no other way, climb tarther and limner
eacn succeeding day, in tact go wild toi
at least a week or two, they would
come back happier, enjoy better health,
live longer and have a brighter view of
life. These rough outings would shine
out of tbe common blackness of their
past lives like gold dollar in a mud
hole.

At a meeting of the schoolboard of
the town district, Monday morning, in
the office of W. J. Baker, Clerk Ilemman

Records In Bad Shape.
Lea Morse, deputy assessor for the
west end of Wasco county, was kept at
home the greater part oi last week,
Mrs. Morse being confined to the house
with a severe attack ot the measles.
Mr. Morse says he doesn't know when
he will get through with his work as
assessor. He was furnished with new
records when he started out this sum
mer. The records were supposed to
show the present ownership of all
property in Hood River valley. The
list was supposed to be revised down to
date, says Mr. Morse, but he declares
he never did see sucn a muddied lot oi
records.
Some of the land lias changed hands
six times since the record was made,
In some instances people are credited
with land they never owned. Others
are located in the wrong section, and in
some cases there is no record whatever
oi ownership.
Finding progress under such condi
tions absolutely impossible, he took the
uooas to vomuuaBiuuer niuuaru, wnu
returned them to the county court for
a corrected and more modern edition.
Mr. Morse says the records furnished
him are supposed to come (rom the
chief abstractor in the office of the
county clerk.

The Mount Hood hotel experimented
with their new system of fire protection
for the first time Tuesday morning.
The two-inch base threw a stream oat
over the arch io front of the hotel, and
proved to be a complete success. The
basement, roof ami each oi the three
floors are suDolied with a coil of 130
feet of the fitt hose, and a reserve pipe
has been placed down Oak street from
which the hotel is able to draw water
whenever necessary. This insure a
splendid and valuable fire protection
for the hotel, and should make the
guests feel perfectly safe as they retire

A stranger stepped into the Glacier
office Friday and In conversation which
followed remarked that he had never

Sears & Potter on the East Side. He
had heard and disbelieved the story that
these orchardist had harvested $1,000
worth of apples from one acre of ground,
but after visiting their orchards last
week he is prepared to vouch for the
correctness of the story, and that the
crop this year will do even better than
that, notwithstanding the canard that
has been circulated to the effect that
Sears & Porter's orchard would produce
a very light crop this year. The visiter
was one who had traveled widely,
one who had been a close observer all
bis life, whose hair had been whitened
by theirosts of many winters, and when
he says that Hears & Porter have the
best apple orchard he has ever geen,
cared (or in the best manner, and (he
oil that "cannot be beat" anywhere
for apples, it if certainly a complijpent
that will be received with much satisfac
tion by these progressive le growers.

Enjoying Life at Camp Orcrall.
The Glncior' man strolled up" to' 'the
fiphing grounds on the West fork of
Hood' river last' Sijnday morning', and
stole' silently back Monday morning,
having spent the day before fishing with
Dick McDonald. The newspaper man
landed one small trout,, in addition to
several landings in tho cold waters of
the river. It wasn't a good day for fish
ing. McDonald, who by the "way said
he knew all about fishing before he
enticed theeditor to the secluded retreats
of Maple Dell, fared little better. ' His
luck that Sunday was taking a day off.
His string, as he wound his reel when
the shades of evening forced him 'to
retire to camp, showed six little trout.
He laid the failure of the fishing to tho
fact that the waters of the river were
milky (rom the volcanic ashes of old
Mount Hood, disturbed by tho melting
snows these warm days,'
It might have been warm in the lower
valley Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, but at Camp Overall, a rousing log
fire was enjoyed after sun down. The
atmosphere was at such a stage that
one's breath was easily visible in the
cool air of the morning, and at.no. time
during the day was too warm for com-
ion.
The title o( Camp Overall is a new
tiame applied by Mr. McDonald. Form
erly this Camping spot whs known as
Maple Dell. jot so now. lhe women
have made that impossible.' The Gla
cier staff artist got out his camera and
endeavored to get some pictures but the
women and their overalls got rapidly
out. of sight.
The Hulling camps bave moved up the
river a mile or so each year, so Mr.
McDonald informs tho Glacier. Form
erly Sandy Flat was the favorite. spot;
then Maple Dell and now Camp Overall
which is located about a mile above
Maple Dell. The latter place is in but
a short distance of the bridge' over tho
west fork, at the point of the old ford.
This bridge is a substantial structure,

desert, and the trail has been widened
for wagons to within live miles of last
Lake. ,
The desert, or what wns the desert, is
heine made to blossom like a paradise.

were planted this spring, and afterwords
potatoes between tho rows. Both crops
look fine, growing nicely without Irriga
tion. 1). Stone has also made improve
ments on his homestead here.
Improvements are being made all
along the river road from Tucker's mill
to the clearings along the west fork. It
is understood that a lateral from the
Bono Bros', "ditch is to bo extended to
the "ranches of George T. Prather and
A. S. Blowers. Valuable ranches now,
as they have been for 40 years, tho
water will add immensely to their

Flue Strawberries In England. ,
V. Markille has handed tho, Glacier
editor a copy ot the Advertiser, pub-
unlied at WeiBUttch, .. Wtwubr-idgiuuiire,
England, which contains the following
reference to some monster strawberries
growii in that part of England : " 1
"11. Tune, Lynn-mad has brought
to our office some Roval Sovereign
strawberries, grown on tho Suttou-roud,
on two-year-old plants. They are of
great size, six of them turning the scale
at UJ ounces, and one weighing a trillo
over 1J ounces. The strawberries are
of a beautiful bright color, fully ripe,
and typical specimens of ' en fruit."
The copy ot the AdvertiHor is of the
date of June 22, aud is of volume 01.
The paper is nothing like an American
publication of today. It looks like a
copy of the Oregonian as it was pub
lished 40 years ago.
W. Markilhe informs tho Glacier that
the large strawberries mentioned in tho
above clipping were grown on Clark
seedling plantH, which ho secured him
self in Hood River .two years ago, and
sent to his brother-in-law in England.
Thus again is the Hood River straw
berry made famous. Mr. Murkillie
says tho land on which these berries
are grown in England Is worth a thous
and dollars an acre.

subscription to tho Glacier, which he
says he cannot got along without.
"It is like getting a letter from home,"
continues Mr. Haynes. "I take this
