HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1004. RUSHING WORK ON FAIR BUILDINGS Special to Glaoier. 1'ortlund, Nov. 24. Although nearly seven months still remain before the opening day, June 1, the construction work on the grounds and buildings of the Lewis aim Clark exposition is rap idly nearing completion. Several of the main pulares are already finished and the completed state of the landscape gardenm); is exemplltieu in tlio Deauti ful lawns and beds of beautiful flowers which now grace the site. Three of the main palaces Agricul tural building, the 1'oreign Exhibits building, and the Liberal Arts building are under roof and ready to receive ex hibits, shipment of which will be commenced in the East December 1 The Agricultural palace, the next to the largest on the grounds, which, it was Btated six months ago, would be ready for exhibits on November 1, was ready on the specified date. The Forestry building, probably the most interesting on the grounds, is well advanced, the massive timbers which compose the walls and pillars being already in place The Mines and Metiilursv. the Mach inery, Electricity and transportation palace, and the Uregon building are riS' hitr from their foundations. The shel ter pavilion, located just outside the colonnade entrance, is receiving tne nn ishiug touches and some beautiful mod eling work in decorative designs is to be noted on both this building and the col onnade entrance. The colonnade entrance, located at Twenty-sixth and Upshur Btreets, about 18 minutes ride from the business BeC' tion of Portland, admits one to the grounds. From the entrance a glimpse is had of the grand court, named t'o lumbia Court, with Guild's lake, the Government peninsula and the river in the vii-ta. Flanking the entrance are the Administrative building, and the l olice, l ire and Emergency stations. Passing straight through Columbia Court, which consists of two broad avenues, with spacious, sunken gardens between, the central ligure of which will be the slutue of the heroine, Sacajawea, one reaches the parapet at the head of Eakeview terraces. From this com manding position a series of broad steps, with massive ballustrades, lead down to the shore of Guild s Lake. At the foot of this grand stairway is the band stand and on the shore ot the lake the es planade starts. The esplanade, already well under wav, will lead outward in to the lake, then westward, crossing the Trail and Bridge of Nations, and ending in St. Helens road. The Trail, which is the name given to the concessions street, will be located on the near part of the liridge of Nations Here for a distance of 800 feet, the bridge has been built 150 feet wide, and the shows will he located on both sides of a 70-foot awnue. The bridge, the found ation work of which is nearly complet ed, will lead to the peninsula on which will be situated the Government build ing. When completed, the Bridge of Nations, classic in outline and built in imitation of solid masonry, will span 1000 feet af waterway, the largest ever included and utilized in an exposition site. The Exposition site, the most beauti ever utilized lor such a purpose, covers approximately 180 acres of land and 2'20 acres of water. In the park of the site 'M species of native trees and shrubs dot the well kept lawns. The sunken gardens, where the most beautiful flow ers will be planted, with a cascade ef lut of water running from a fountain in the center, will be one of the most bcautful features. In the western part ot the grounds will be located the ex perii.iental gardens, where many varie ties ot plants, both useful as market products and lieautiful in hortscultnral effect, will he grown. Every effort is being made by the management to add to the natural beauty of Centennial park bv artificial culture, and already the grounds are taking on an appearance which assures the highest excellence on opening day. Hood Kiver as an Example Hood Kiver held her annual fruit fair last week and the press association of the state also held its annual two day session there. It may be that our rea ders will fail to observe any relevancy between the fair and the press meeting; but the motive power, the force, the brains, which got up the fruit display also secured the presence of the news paper men at the same time, and as a result Hood Kiver will receive hundreds of columns of notice, commendatory of the city and the fruit display. In the onward and upward march of the town few things to the advantage of municipality "happen." Chance has little to do with the progress of a town. In these days communities are built up by advertising which, in thesecases, is just another name for brainy, well directed and united but continuous effort on the part of the citizens, or at least a major portion of them. Hood Kiver has made a name for her self second to no community in the state. Indeed, wherever Oregon is known, Hood Kiver is known. And she is not simply known but is pointed to as the home of the finest fruit in the land and as one of the most beautiful and charming places in the whole country. Let us for the sake of argument leave out of remarks the question of that town's right to the high position she holds and confine ourselves to an at tempt at showing how she gained such a -uirld-wide renown. "Chance" had nothing to do with it. A dozen years ago there were a dozen or moie other places in Oregon with as great possibilities, as great opportunities, and possibly as great natural resourses as Hood Kiver had. But today Hood Kiver stands ahead of them all, and her name has gained such a momentum, the accretion by iteration and reiteration of press and people is of such magnitude that she practically stands alone among the towns of Oregon. At least Bhe stands unique as the best advertised town, and the most of her advertising, like this for instance, does not cost her a cent. A few brainy men made Hood Kiver w hat she is by pulling together. That is the whole story. You can pohit to fruit fairs, G. A. B. meetings, press gatherings, her strawberries and apples point to anything that has helped Hood Itiver and you will find it was given prominence by the well-advertised efforts of a few brainy men. lo our readers ask why we are thus looming Hood Itiver and forgetting lone? We are endeavoring to set our people to thinking. We are trying to point out w bat Hood Kiver has done to show w hat lone can do. But up jumps the pessimist and standing on his hind legs he brays that lone has not the advantages of Hood Rier. Shoot that cuss on the spot. He does not know w hat he is talking about and is an enemy to his town. He and his ilk should be killed or muzzled. How do you get actualities in such ca?es? Be you not reach your conclu sions by a town's resources per capita? Is there any other way? No, mo.t assuredly not. Then, suppose you look at onr posi tion. Take the statistics of Hood River, her income per capita from all re sources, aud then take fone'i. How do they compare? lone nearly doubles Hood River. In other words, while each man, woman and child in Hood River is credited with an income from all her natural resources, of about $400 each, Iono'e peopie can claim over $700 each. And lone has just as brainy men as Hood River has. The only trouble is that they have not in the past pulled together as one. They have not as Hood River's people, stood shoulder to Bhoul der all the time with but one end in view the upbuilding of their town. But we see the dawn of a new era for lone. We see her people organizing, harmonizing, and awakening to her responsibilities ; and we believe that in a year from now our town will be one of the Inland Empire. lone Proclaimer. What Variety Is Itt A. L. Phelps was in town Thursday with a new variety of apple that was a puzzle for the fruit experts to determine what variety it is. Ivo one seems to be positive. The apple is about four-tier in size; colored V'jry Bimilar to a Red Cheek pip pin, only the red is very bright and susceptible of a high polish. The apples keep until June, at least one would think so, to judge from the solidity of the samples Air. Phelps left at the Glacier office. They are of fine flavor. Mr. Phelps has two trees of this un known variety. They are planted where they receive running water the vear through, and the trees bear very heavily. The apple is of peculiar shape having a deep cup at the blossom end. Otherwise it is shaped similar to a Spit zenburg. It is a very pretty apple, and were one of them placed along side a wax model, it would be difficult to tell the real from the imitation. Vote At Dalles High School. The Dalles high school pupils voted for president last Tuesday, as did the Hood River pupils last week. The re sult at The Dalles, according to the Chronicle, was as follows: Official returns are in from the presi dential election held at the high school Friday afternoon and fortunately are such that the result of a week ago will not be materially changed. Judging from the returns republicans need have no fear for their future in The Dalles," as the vote stood thusly: Roosevelt, 09 Parker, 10; Swallow,4; Debs, 4. For prohibition, 44; against, 43. Judges were Guy bexton, George ause and Nellie Hostetler. Clerks, Selina Haight Delia Creighton and Roy Campbell. Subscriptions Are Refunded. The subscriptions of $284.50 recently made hv Portland business men tor Hood River fruit exhibit to be sent to St. Louis will be returned to the donors, nays the Oregonian. The state com mission has announced that it is unwilling to accept the money, although duly appreciating the generosity and public-spiritedness of those who sub scribed to the fund. It has been found that there will be enough money left of the commission's St. Louis funds to pay all such incidentals as the Hood River fruit subscription. The checks given by various business men will be returned at once by Com mis sion President Myers. Herb W. Edwards Injured. Herb W.

WEATHER DATA OF VERY GREAT VALUE Through the kindness of Edward A. Beals, sectional director for Oregon, weather bureau, Portland, we have a limited number of copies of the monthly climate and crop bulletin of that de partment for free distribution to our patrons. It is a very interesting and valuable document to anyone interested in the climatology of Oregon. It contains a brief history of the weather station at Hood River which was established by Lr. E. J. Thomas in September 1889 and has been kept continuously since. Dr. Thomas resigned in 1811 and Dr. P. G. Barrett succeeded him and kept the record until a few days before his death, January 7, 1900. Joseph Hengst was then appointed and kept the record un til May 1004, when he resigned and was succeeded by D. N. Byerlee, the present observer. The state is divided into five districts : Coast district with 12 stations; Wilam- ette valley ,18; Southern Oregon, 8; Co lumbia river valley, 13, and Plateau dis trict, with 26 stations; 77 stations in all. From these 77 stations are gathered and complied the weather statistics by bee- tlonal Director Beals which largely make up the matter contained in these bulle tins, th- present one being for the month of October 1904. It is a special Hood River number and gives the rec ords of temperature for Hood River from 1889 to 1904 inclusive; showing mean maximum, mean minimum, mean temperature, maximum and minimum for each month and year during this period. It also gives the rainfall for 21 years from 1884 to 1904 inclusive, which was made possible by the use of Dr. Barrett s records ot precipitation kept prior to the establishment of a lo cal station at Hood River. It also gives the daily readings of the temperature and precipitation from all the 77 stations in the state during the month of October, with other climato logical data of interest to our readers. This publication will be valuable to Easterners who wish to learn something of the climatic conditions at Hood Kiver, the more so liecause of its accuracy, the observations having been taken with government instruments, the best that can be proenred. The Commer cial club could no doubt place a number of copies where they would do a great deal ot good in this manner. The bulletin has the following to say of the climatology of Hood Kiver: Hood River, asco county, is situated on the south bank of the Columbia river at a point where it receives the waters of the river after which the town is named. The Hood River valley extends from the Columbia south to .Mount Hood, a distance of about 30 miles, and is from 3 to 8 miles wide. It is sur rounded by high hills and mountains having an altitude of from 1000 to 5000 feet. The station was established by Dr. E. J. Thomas in September, 1889, al though a previous record of the rainfall had been kept bv Dr. P. G. Barrett.who became the observer when Dr. Thomas resigned in 1891. Dr. Barrett continued the observations to within a few days of his death, which occurred on January 7, 1900. Joseph Hengst was tnen appoint ed observer, and he kept the record un til May 1904. He was succeeded by D, N. Byerlee, the present observer. Up to May 7, 1904, the station was situated about five miles from the town, but on that, diite Mr. TWerlee moved the instru ments to Oakdale, his country home, where tbev are now located. The present station is in latitude 42 42' n., longitude 121 30' w. ; elevation 243 feet. The maximum and minimum thermometers are exposed in a standard shelter located 120 feet south of the ob server's house.a 1 story framedwelliug the bulbs of the thermometers are 7 feet from the ground. The rain gage is 4ti feet west of the shelter and 108 south of the house ; the top of the gage is three feet above the ground. The highest recorded temperature at Hood River was 103,on August 15,1901; the lowest was 10 below zero, on Jan uary 31, and February 1,1893. The av erage number of days each year with the temperature above 90 is 9, and the av erage number of days with the temper ature below the freezing point is 74. Average date of first killing frost in autumn, October 17; average date of last killing frost in the spring, April 17. The mean annual precipitation is 38.38 inches, and it is heaviest during the winter and spring months and least in midsummer. The number of rainv dayB average 129, and the yearly snow fall is 77.8 inches. The prevailing winds are from the west. The temperature and precipitation tables show in detail the main characteristics of these two elements as recorded by the Hood River observers.
