HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1904. BIG DEAL BY APPLE UNION The Hood River Apple Growers union sold, Tuesday morning, to Page & Son nj Portland 30 cars of Hpitzenburg and Yellow Newtown apples and four cars of other varieties. The sale price has been kept secret for business reasons by the board of directors, but it is under stood to be a fancy figure for the Spite and Newtowns and" a remarkably good price for the four cars of other varieties. This is the largest apple deal ever made in Hood Kiver. While the mem bers of the board of directors and Man ager Shepard have nothing to give out for publication in the matter, they ex-pies-ed theniH'lves to the (jlacier re porter as being exceedingly well pleased w ith the terms of the deal. The union has recently disposed of two ears of (iravensteins at prices rang ing from 85 cents to $1 a box. Such prices are considered good figures for these apples. This about cleans up the summer apples for Hood Kiver. Hood Kiver sent out about four cars of pears this summer. One car was marketed in Chicago by Page & Son; the union shipments amounted to about one car, and something over a carload went to Holmes' cannery in Portland. The prices on pears ranged between 60 and Rr cents, the returns not being all in yet. TO BUILD DOCK AT HOOD RIVER H. C. Campbell, manager of the Keg' ulator Line, when in Hood Kiver Mon day, informed the Glacier that his com pany expects to have the new wharf boat for ihe Hood Kiver dock in place by the hm of next week. This will be good news to the people of the town and country who do business with the boat company. The company figured first on putting in a piling dock, but a wharfboat can be shifted about to meet thedifferent stages of water, and Mr. Campbell says during the time ol high water tlie whartboat will lie shifted to the summer landing at the foot of First street, below the depot. The wharfboat bv inside measure' incut will' lw l.rx.rl! feet with a 12-foot ceiling. This will afford space for stor ing several carloads of freight. An ollice will be fixed up, where Norman Yound, the Hood Kiver agent for the Regulator Line, will be found at all times to transact business with the public. Telephone service will also be supplied to the office, says Mr. Camp bell. This boat iH to be modeled after the wharfboats at The Dalles and Lyle. 1 he expense of putting in this boat, ami the approaches that will have to lie made w hen the road to the landing is completed, will cost the company about Ifl(HH). The Regulator company is also mak ing $400 worth of improvements to the dock at White Salmon. The increased trade at that place is making a larger warehouse necesary at that point, which the company regards as the best town along the river. The wharfbooat was secured in Port land, and workmen are now building the warehouse on the same. VV hen com plcted the latter part of this week it w ill be towed to Hood Kiver the Regulator went near and got some passengers, i was lniormed that nei ther of the above boats were asked to give a pull. The morning (13th) we got the crew from the Spencer we were out about 800 or 900 feet, and there was out teet ol water and the uatzert was drawing 8 feet. Hoping this explanation is satis factory, Very respectfully, r . H. Sherman. Department of Commerce and Labor, Steamboat Inspection Service, Otfico of Lcal Inspectors, Portland, ureg., July 23, 1904.

Editor Glacier: 1 noticed in last week's Glacier that number of valuable cows died re cently in Frank ton and other districts. It has been in my mind for a long tune to start a live stock insurance association. My plan would be for a number of farmers who keep one or more cows to organize an insurance company, have a constitution and bylaws drawn up and printed, incorporation papers legally filed and three inspectors elected to place a value on the cows. There should also be a secretary and treasurer, and then whenever a cow belonging to a member of the association dies, an as sessment will be levied and the owner of the cow will have sufficient money to replace the cow. As it is now, a great many people lose a cow and are unable to stand the ex pense of buying another one. 1 nave talked with a good many larm- era around Belmont, and all of them ex press themselves as favoring the move ment, and I want to announce through the columns of the Glacier that a meet ing to discuss the organization of such a live stock Insurance association will be held at the Frankton school house at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, September 23. Those who are too busy to be able to attend this meeting will kindly mail me a postal card giving me their opinion on the proposition. Jet Kelimmt and frankton form a district, Barrett and Crapper another, and so on over the valley. Forty fann ers would be sutficient to organize. The assessments in such an organization need not be more than II for each mem ber. This would raise a total of $40 and enable any poor man to buy an other cow. M. H. Nk-kklskn.

Local Insnectors Gen tlemen : On Wednesday, July 13, while (he steamer Spencer was lying near the shore al Rowena slightly aground, a line was run out to deep water and the steamer Bailey Gatzert was hailed for assistance, but after finding out what was wanted, replied that they did not have time. The wind was blowing very moderately at the time, it being possi ble for a small boat to be rowed with a coil of 2-inch line and two men in it with no trouble whatever.

Portland, Or., Jul v 21, 1904 Messrs EdwuniHtfc Fuller, U.S. Local Inspect ors, Portland, Or. DearSirs: I received this morning your letter and also copy of letter of Dalles Transportation Co., by C. R. Spencer. The Bteainer Cha-. RSpencer ground ed on the morning of July 13, 19 4, above Rowena, and the next evening, as 1 was going to The Dalles with the steamer Bailey Gatzert, Charles Spencer came out with a life-boat having a line coiled in one end. He hailed me and asked to have me give the Spencer pull. I told him that the wind was too strong, and with all my passengers and freight on board, 1 did not consider safe to get in that shoal water, but would come back; so proceeded on to Ihe Dalles. Alter arriving at Ihe Dalles I met Caitaiii K. W. .Spencer and told him about being hailed, and also told him, as the water was so shoal so far out from the Spencer, and tint the (talzert w as such a poor backer in stioal wa'er, and with the wind blowing, I did not consider it safe that, evening. Ho he told me that if I could do anj thing for him the next morning he would be very much pleased. I told him if the wind w a not blowing too hard I would doauvlhlngl could. Ihe next morn ing 1 was going to give him a pull, as the e was very little wind, but when we got there he did not want a pull but sent 17 of his crew down with us (thr. e b-,at loads). At ihe time the Spencer grounded there was at The Dalles gauge 27 08 feet and today 23.07 feet. As we came up todav the sand was bare out alwut 200 or 3(H) feet from the bow and about 400 or od0 feet from the stern .of the Spancer. We also had a passenger (or the Spencer and they came out lor him in the nie boat. i'lie wind was blowing about the same as on ihe 14th. and it w as impos sible lo keen the Uatzert s stern to the wind, and she blew almost clear around nnd hacking w ith the wheel hard over. At the time I was hailed to give the Piemvr a pull she had been aground for 3i hours, and she was in no danger of lroinu to nieces, and lives were not i danger. In a lew minutes after the Spencer grounded the Dalles City ent to lr assistance, and the next morning Parker-Crapper Wedding, A pretty wedding was that of Frank L. Parker and Miss Pearl Crapper, both of Hood River, at 11 o'clock Wednes day morning, September 7, 1904, at the home of the bride s mother, Mrs. Ida Crapper; Rev. J. W. Jenkins of Athena officiating. Ihe parlors were beautifully decorated with ferns and roses. The dining room walls were banked with maiden hair ferns and white astors. The bride and groom entered with Miss Lucy Jenkins as bridesmaid and Guy Crapper as groomsman. The bride was attired in a gown of (Jhampagne boyle, with a deep yoke of cream lace over pale blue. She carried a boquet of astors. After the ceremony the guests were ushered into the dining room, where a delicious lunch was served. The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful gifts of silver, cut glass and china. Mr. and Mrs. Parker left on the after noon train for Portland, where they will spend their honeymoon and will be at home to their friends alter September 12. The guests were: J. W.

Mrs. Henderson Arrives from Chicago. Mrs. C. L.Henderson, mother of John Leland Henderson, arrived in Hood River last Friday from Chicago. While Mrs. Henderson is yet weak physically, she having to lie carried from the train on a bed, Bhe ingrowing stronger and is very much improved in health, says her son. Mrs. Henderson is 86 years old, and a few months ago was taken suddenly sick in Chicago, and for a time life was supposed by the attending physicians to be extinct, but she rallied and today is 3000 miles from the Ecene of her re cent illness.

She found herself suddenly going blind, and this knowdedge was such a shock as to pro duce nervous prostration. John Leland Henderson was sent for and Bpcnt three weeks at her bedside. Editor Receives Fine Peaches. The Glacier man lived in good luck last week. Early Thursday morning, Mrs. George P. Crowell came to the office with a basketful of beautiful Early Crawford peaches and a boquet of large and handsome roses. The peaches and roses were grown in her own yard in this citv, and finer fruit or flowers would be hard, to find. Later in the day Jack Binns came in with another sample of monster peaches. The fruit was grown on his place on the hillside of Mount Defiance. Each peach weighed almost a pound, and he says they grew without irrigation. The flavor was very delicious. Southern Oregon may grow more peaches than Hood River, but it's peaches to mistletoe that the flavor does not surpass that of the Hood River peaches. The crop here this year w as fine in quality. Anxious to Bond for Water. J. II. Shoemaker is enthusiastic over the movement begun in the Barrett and Crapper districts to bond the commu nity for an irrigating ditch. "You see, we have to have water," said he to the Glacier man, "and by bonding the district we get the water, double the value and productive capac ity of the land, and pay for it 20 years from now from the increased earnings of our farms made possible by the appli cation of the water. There's the whole thing in a nut shell, and you will find the people of the district looking at the proposition with the same understand ing. "The movement is now well under way ami there is no good reason why our people should lose heart in the un dertaking." Unitarians Enjoy Picnic. The children of the Unitarian Sunday school enjoyed a picnic under the beau tiful orchard grove at Paradise farm last Saturday. The older folks enjoyed it, too, if the newspaper man, who was lucky enough to be there, should judge from the way those gathered about the well-spread tables devoured the good things before them with an appetising relish. A hundred or more were present, all returning with the remark that they had ever so good a time. Banker Receives Box of Diniiitinils, Leslie Butler of Butler & Co. bankers, was in receipt of a box of diamonds last Saturday from Messrs. Main & Bower man, orchardists at White Salmon. To be specific they weren't really dia monds, but they sparkled just as bright ly. They were fancy .F.arly Crawford peaches. To eat them gave yon dimples in your cheek, added a luster to the hafr and regulated the heart beats. "I tell you they were fine," remarked Mr. Butler as he saw the last one dissap pear. A Remedy Without a Peer. I find Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets more benificial thau any other remedy I ever used for stomach trouble," says J. P. KIote,of Edina.Mo. For any disorder of the stomach, bil iousness or constipation, these Tablets are without a peer. For sale at Will iams' Pbaimacy. Thank Von, Bro. Bennett. The Hood River Glacier of last week is one of the best specimens of a weekly newspaper that we have seen for many a day. The Hood River people ought to be, and no doubt are, proud of their enterprising exponent. It has been, and will continue to be, a great factor in the advancement of that enterprising and progressive community. Oregon Irri gator.
