HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, AUGUSTUS, 1904. CITY SURE TO HAVE SEWERS A sewer system for the citv of Hood River is assured. Tlio rMit of wav for the outlet through the land of Mr. Hop kins between the railroad and the Co lumbia river was in the hands of the of the sewer committee at the meeting of the city council Friday night. This deed has lssen the obstructing etone for iwo years or more, and now that it is out of the way the council proposes to begin immediatly the construction of the system. Competent legal advice will be secured to see that every step in the matter is correctly taken, and if possible it is the intention of the sewer committee to get a great deal of the work done before the heavy rains set in this fall. The street committee was instructed to go ahead with the work at once. Shortly after the opening of the ses sion Friday night a petition from Dr F C. Hrosiua was read asking that he be granted the privilege of occupying part of Oak street with his buildings for a period of six months while workmen are putting up Ins proposed brick block. There was considerable discussion on the petition, but motion to grant the petition carried. The prevailing idea was that Dr. Bro iug might permit li is tenants to occupy the buildings in the street, providing there was no serious objection from the other property owners of the city. The street committee reported that a water closet and barn on Lincoln street were not on the property owner's land, and Mr. Sloat, who wants to build near by, asked that the nuisance be removed. The request was granted. Marshal Olinger was ordered to notify property owner that the buildings be removed. Ordinance No. 84, fixing the license rates for trancient merchants, was read a second time and passed. NO HITP0ST; THIS MADE HIM MAD Pine drove, August 22, 1904. Editor (ilacier: I met my friend, Ike Sharp, on the street last (Saturday, and it was plain In'fore he spoke that lie was mad. Said he: "I got into this town about half an hour ago, and 1 have just managed to find a place to hitch my horses. I drove the full length of the town twice and up and down most of the cross streets, and linally had to unhitch my team from tiie wagon and tie them behind." "Why," he went on, "there isn't 25 feet of hitching rack in this town that can Ktund up any steadier than a man with a gallon of whiskey in him, and not half enough of any kind to go 'round when the farmers all come to town." I tried to soothe Ike by telling him that it was thoughtlessness on the part of the merchants, and "what is every body's business is nobody's business," but he wouldn't soothe. "That's no go" he replied, "the mer chants are always getting a piece put in the paper about the man who sends away his cash to Steers, Ram buck & Co., or to the fellow who pays the freight, hut it never seems to occur to them that a farmer can't afford to come ami trade with them if he has to bring along one of the big boys or the hired man to hold the team. You see if he leaves his team standing on the street the marshal is ready to threaten him with the law, and if be hitches to a tree he is threatened some more ; and anoth er thing, whenever a wagon load of trash accumulates about one of their stores they bribe some fellow for a few cents to haul it out about a mile and dump it alongside the county road." It was clear that Ike was losing his bearings and was becoming too unreas onable for any sober-minded man to listen to any longer, so I wished him better luck next time and hurried around the corner to see whether my own horses, which were tied to the back wheels, had managed to eat up the cushions. X. Y. Z. Rushing Work on Rone Ditch. Bone Bros, expect to have their East Side ditch in condition soon to supply w ater to the district; west of the Odell school house. The ditch is constructed in sections from ' ukes valley north. The work of connecting the different sec tions will not be completed in time to bring out water this summer, but every thing will be in shape for the delivery of a fuli supply next summer. Mr Bone says he has a thousand inches of water' running into the Odell district, but he has secured sale for barely 200 inches. The farmers on the other hand say the water came in so late this year that they prefer to wait until next year before paying $5 an inch for its use. Mr. Bone Wis the Glacier he has had a great deal of trouble semirings rights of way for his East Sideditch. In many cases he says he has run up against reg ular holdups. The farmers knowing the ditch had to build through their lands, refused to accept ordinary prices for the land, insisting instead on exor bitant damages. The farmers would talk of the necessity of water for their crops but would lend little encourage ment toward getting it onto the land. Resolutions of Condolence. Whkbkas, The (ireat and Supreme Ruler of the universe, in His infinite wisdom, removed from among us, Henry VanBlaricom, father of our worthy neighbor, Otis Van Blaricom, we deem it eminently fitting that we, the officers ami members of camp No. 7702, Modern Woodmen of America, record our appre ciation of him as a member; therefore be it Resolved, that the sudden removal of such a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will .be deeply realized by relatives and friends of the deceased, and will prove a serious lossto the community and the public. Be it further Kesolvkd, that with deep sympathy with the relatives of deceased we ex pre'sour hope that even go great a loss to us all may lie for our own good, for He doeth all things well. And be it REsot,vF.i,that a copy of these resolu tions lie spread upon the records of camp 7702, Modern Woodmen of Aineri ca, a copy furnished the Hood River Glacier, for publication, and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. C. U. DA KIN, ) J. O. ZOI.LS, Committee. C. SPARGER, ) Oregon Crop Conditions. The past week has been dry, with cool nights and warm afternoons. Pas turage, potatoes and gardens need rain badlv, but corn and hops are standing the dry weather better than expected. The grain harvest is drawing to a close, and most of the wheat in the Willam ette valley and in southern Oregon has been cut and threshed. Fall wheat and barley yields are generally above the average. Spring wheat and oats are Mow' the average in quantity, but above the average in quality. Hups are doing well and the vines are free of vermin. Picking will begin in the early yards within two weeks. It is hard to judge the site of the crop on account of the increased acreage, but individual yards generally will not produce as abundantly as they did last year. Corn is doing remarkably well and the ears promise to be large and well filled. Without rain soon potatoes will be a poor crop. Apples in some local ities have dropped badly, but the crop is still good. Peaches, plums and uiacKuemea are plentiful in tne market.

Last Thursday, Mailcarrier Havnes had a narrow escape on his return from the Chenowith end of his route. F'or half a mile or so he says the flames formed a perfect wall on both sides of the road. By Saturday the fires had taken another trail and lie was able to make the trip without mishap. The next morning Amos Underwood came over from the north side of the Columbia and reported that two settlers four miles down the river had lost their houses and barn by the fires Thursday night. Charley Walthers, near the site of the old Bothwick mil), was the heaviest loser. His barn, wagons and tools, chickens and one of his horses, with 25 tons of hay and 4 tons of grain went up iu flames. By hard work he managed to save his house. His loss is esti mated at (1500. Mr. Seely, a neighbor, escaped from the fire with nothing but the clothes on his back, his loss included house, barn and everything he possessed. Disheart ened, he boarded the train Saturday morning for his father's home at l'ome roy. For a week or more the settlers at Underwood lived in fear that the flames would cross the Little White Salmon, and sweeping east would consume every thing in their path. All danger is not yet past, but the flames have been con contined to the original burned district, and it is hoped that a further spread of the fires can be prevented. BOYS MUST ANSWER FOR KILLING STOCK Thorval and William Nelson, song of Nels Nelson who resides four miles south of this city, were placed under arrest Monday morning by Constable Olinger, charged by Emile D. West of wantonly and maliciously killing cattle. The boys spent the night in the city jail, and Tuesday afternoon, they appeared be fore Justice XickeUen. On motion of their attorney, A. A. Jayne, the exami nation was waived, and the boys were bound over to appear before the next term of the circuit court. Justice Nick elsen fixed the joint bail at $1000. The cattle alleged to have lieen killed by the Nelson boys belonged to Mr. West, who resides on the headwaters of Neal creek, about ten miles southeast of the city. The boys were seen hunting in that neighborhood last Sunday, when Mr. West, fearing something might hap pen to his cattle started in the direction of the shooting. He found a cow and calf but recently shot, and when he fin ally came upon the boys he says they acted in a very suspicious manner. Attorney Hartwig appeared for the prosecution. A large number of wit ness had been secured by the prosecu tion, and from statements made by those who say they know something about the case, evidence against the hovs appears unfavorable. The Nelson boy are mere youths. They appear to lie about 17 and 19 years old. The offence of which they are charged is possibly more geaious than the youths realize. Finds This Country to His Liking. J. H. Dnnn, who came here last win ter from Kansas for the lienefit of his wife's health, finds the climate agrees very well with his wife, and he thinks himself there is no place like Hood River. Mrs. Lunn wan-afflicted with asthma before coming here, but is now entirely cured of this disease. Mrs. Dun .i is not yet a well woman, but her health is so much lietter than it was in the East that they do not think of leaving here. Mr. Dunn thinks the water in Hood River cannot b beat for purity and fine quality. He thinks so much of the valley, that last Saturday he called at the Glacier office and subscribed for the paper to have it sent to some of his former neighbors in Kansas. He thinks after they read about this fine country through the paper that they too will want to come West. Good Times in Hood River. C. L. Gilbert called the attention of the newsgatherer Monday morning to a notice Contractor Arnold had penciled on a board he had tacked up on the scaffolding of the building he is erecting for Mr. Smith, which read: "Wanted Two men to carry the hod at 2.50 a day." "That doesn't look like hard times in Hood River, does it?" remarked the proprietor of the Mount Hood hotel. "Mr. Arnold told me he hunted all over town for men this morning, and could not find them. It all goes to show thai the building spurt in Hood River has done more than anything else to make for good times here during a presiden tial election." Dr. E. T. Caruea and little son boarded the afternoon train Monday for a trip to Portland. Mrs. L. Henry who has been quite ill for some days past is recovering and is able to be about again. Chester Jury and his mother left Monday afternoon for Portland. Mr. Jury says he expect to visit various towns iu the Willamette valley, and if he finds a suitable location will move his shoot in gallery there. SAYS APPLES WILL BRING GOOD PRICE G. R. Castner, member of the Hood River Apple Growers' union, tells the Glacier lie believes the outlook for good prices for apples this fall is very encour aging. He says the union is receiving a great many inquiries concerning the crop to be handled by the union. The board of directors met Tuesday morning and decided to let the members of the union arrange individually for the purchase of their apple boxes. A bid was received earlier in the season to furnish boxes at 9 cents, but the officers of the box trust got word of it and the offer had to be withdrawn. The David son Fruit Co., it is understood, will have plenty of apple boxes to sell at 10 cents a box. The board of directors have ordered a car of duplex wrapping paper ,card hoard and lining paper. The price compensation of apple pack ers was fixed at five cents a box for fruit that will go 128 and below to the box. For apples over 128 to the box and up to 200, the price is to lie 6 cents a box. The matter of teaching new packers was left to the packers themselves. The instructor will be paid for the work he does, the beginner receiving no pay until he is competent of doing good work. MARKET. OVERSTOCKED WITH CHEAP APPLES Special to the Glacier. Seattle, Aug. 22. A.D.Blowers & Co., wholesale commission merchants, report as follows : "Fruit market at the beginning of this week seems to be overstocked, peaches coming in from all directions, very plentifully. Fancy Crawfor'ds are selling today from 0 to 05 cents a box. Other varieties from 40 to 50. Bartlett pears, on account of large receipts have declined to $1 and $1.10 with a prospect of still further declining. Strictly fan cy Gravenstein apples are in good de mand and sell, four-tier at $1.25, five tier $1. Blackberries $1.25 crate, rasp berries $2.25 to $2.50 with but few com ing in at the present time. Market is overstocked wiih cheap apples and ship ments of this kind had better not be sent." Good Prune Crop at MoNier. G. B. Hunter of F. M. Hunter & Hon, fruit growers at Mosier, was in the city Monday looking for prune packers. Mr. Hunter has placed an ail for packers in another column of the Glacier. Mr. Hunter says the prune crop at Mosier this summer will amount to 12 or 14 cars of green fruit. This he esti mates is about a lull crop. Hunter x Son have bought up the prune crop of G. Hellinger, amounting to atiout 4000 cases. Next week Mr. Hunter will be gin picking and packing the prunes for shipment to Kansas markets. This shipment will amount to four cars. L. C. Haynes of the Hon Ton barber shop has sold a half interest in his busi ness to Mr. Gray recently from Vancou ver. Mrs. A. L. Kelsev, daughters Lela and Lota and son, Howard, and Col. O. B. Hartley and family returned the latter part ol last week from a delight ful month's outing in the "venerable woods" where tumbles the Hood river and where the speckled trout were on tap every day in the week. They re port a "lovely" time and all feel several years younger for having had such an enjoyable vacation. FARMERS' FRIEND FEED STORE H. W. WAIT, Prop. Hood River, Ok., July 20, 1004.
