HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBERS!, 1904. GRANGERS FEAST ON BIG APPLES "We were royally entertained in Portland, the convention city; party of Oregon and Wanhington granger ac companied us to the Buuside yesterday and to the Cascades on the boat tine morning. Here are you people from Hood Kiver with your lino apples, and there iH no telling where this Oregon hospitality will end," remarked Aaron Jones, worthy master National Orange, South Bend, lud., spokesman for the Grangers, who were met Saturday at Stevenson by a delegation from the Hood Kiver Commercial club, and es corted to Hood Kiver. The Grangers continued on to The Dalles, where they took the train and continued on their way East. The Hood River delegation had three boxes of apples with them, and when the lenities were laid before the East erners there were lavish words of praise for Hood Jliver'a famous products. "We have heard all Boris of wonder ful tales about the Hood Kiver apples," continued Mr. Jones, "and now we be lieve every word of them. When in Portland and the Willamette valley, all the orchards in sight were moss-grown and disease infested, and we were some what puzzled 10 knew where the fine Oregon apples really came from. We had seen them at the St. Louis fair, that is the Hood River apples, and have been anxious ever aince to tie able toob tain a glimpse of the wonderful valley where such prize-winning fruit is grown." The Grangers all admitted that they had never seen such apples before. The Hood Kiver apples at St. Louis opened their eyes, for they had no idea such fruit could be produced on the Pacific coast. After Grand Master Jones had con cluded his remarks he introduced other Grangers, who gave short talks. Among them were : George H. Horton of Fruit Ridge, Mich. ; Obediah Gardner, Rock land, Maine; S. 11. Derby, Woodside, Del.; Mrs. Sarah ISaird, Kdina Mills, Minn.; Joseph B. Ager,Hyattsville,Md. ; M. Louise Hell, wife of Governor Bell of Vermont ;0. H.Wood, Kllington, Conn.; J. A. Xewcomb, Golden, Col. After the Grangers had finished with their speechmaking, John Iceland Hen derson was introduced and responded on behalf of the Commercial club of Hood River. His remarks were very appro priate, and were listened to with inter est. A. I. Mason, president of the Hood River Apple Growers' union fol lowed. Mr. Mason lold the story of apple growing here, and before he was seated he answered numerous questions put to him by the Grangers. The program being ended, the visitors gathered in little crowds with a Hood Kiver man for spokesman, they talked and asked questions about Hood Kiver until the whistle blew for Hood Kiver lauding, when it was with regret that the journey had ended so soon. Those who constituted the party of Grangers weie: Mr. and Mrs. K. M. Shipley, Westport, Conn. ; Mrs. Eva. 8. McDowell, Rome, N. Y. ; Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Newcomb, Golden, Colo. ; Mr.and Mrs. A. C. Powers, Beloit, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Patterson, Torrington, Conn. ; Mr.and Mrs. Aaron Jones, South Bend, Ind. ; Mr. and Mrs. George B. Horton, Fruit Ridge, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. Obediah Gardner, Rockland, Me. ; Mr. and Mrs S. H. Derby, Woodside, Del ; Mr. and Mrs. S. Baird, Edina Mills, Minn. ; Mr, and Mrs. Joseph B. Ayer, Hyattsville, Maryland; Mrs M. Louise Bell, Montpelier, Vt. ; 0. H. Wood, Ellington, Conn. ; Mr. and Mrs. Machant, West Kingston, R. I.j Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Morris, Sodus, N. Y. ; Mr. and MrB. G. W. K. Gaunt, Mullica Hill, N. J. ; Mr. and Mrs.F.A. Derthick, Mantua, 0. ; Mr. and Mrs. C. 0. Kaine, Canton, Mo. ; Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Free man, Tippecanoe City, O. The party from the Hood River Com mercial club consisted of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Morse, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moe, John Iceland Henderson and son, W.J.Baker, A. I. Mason, president of the Hood River Apple Growers' union, D. II. Sears and C. D. Moore. All members ot die committee wore blue ribbon badges, trimmed with gold fringe and bearing the words in gilt letters, "Hood River Commercial Club." Three boxes of apple were donated by D. II. Sears, the Davidson Fruit com pany and the Hood River Fruit Grow ers' union, The Commercial club takes this means to publicly thank those who so kindly donated the fine apples for the occasion. It was the apples that made the lasting impression on the visitors. The Hood River party spent three hours at the little town of Stevenson before the steamer Regulator arrived from Portland. Stevenson is the coun ty seat of Skamania county, and it is a jirosperous little city. Seman Cox was found there He has just completed a $10,000 court house for the people of Skamania county, and is now erecting a school building to cost f 1800. The court house is a handsome addition to the city of Htevenson, and would be a credit to counties of treble the population of Skamania county. The new school building is a modern city structure. The people of Steven son are proud of the building and well they may be. While at Stevenson the delegates were shown through the new court hou89 by A. Fleischauer.auditor of Skamania coun ty. Mr. Fleischauer was very courteous to his visitors, showing them about the building and explaining points of inter est. Judge Henderson says of the Ska amania county auditor that he is one of the best ollicials for that office in the Northwest. Any papers sent to' Mr. FleiBchauer receives prompt and careful attention says Judge Henderson, who has had numerous dealings with the auditor. It mnt be remembered here that the Rcgulalor Line kindly gave the mem bers of the Commercial club free passage to Stevenson and return, and the Trans fer company of Hood River carried the passengers free of charge to and from the boat landing.

Resents Remarks About Foreigners. Hood River, Or., Nov. 20, 1904. Ed itor Glacier: Your statement in the is sue of the Glacier of the 17th concerning The DalleB cannot besuccesBfully refuted. She is slow, but her limited speed is her salvation because whatever move ment there is in her is the movement of the crawfish. Now, what is the cause of this retro gradation? Surely there must be a large majority of honest, educated, re fined and industrious citizens within her boundaries, and a community made up of such people is, according to a state ment of a certain selfconstituted au thority, bound to prosper. The problem is certainly enigmatical as well as vexing and I would therefore suggest that the citizens of The Dalles have an analysis made of this now noto rious phenomena. For this purpose I would advise them to call upon that brilliant and incomparable intellectual luminary, that ocean of wisdom and mountain of sagasitv,("ex" of this, and would be,of that,) the Salem Statesman. This sage of the young 30th century, than whom there is no greater, in past ages or at the present times, has with marvelous accuracy described the cause of Hood River's prosperity. According to this monstrosity of all that is wise and wonderful, webfootted and moss backed, Hood River' achievements are due to the simple fact that there are no foreigners here. Now, if the absence of the "ignorant foreigners" is the cause of Hood River's progress and activity, would it be illog ical to presume that the "slowness" of the citv of The Dalles is due to the pres ence of the "foreign devilB?" I therefore exhort the cliff dwellers of that rock-ribbed city on the Columbia to make a thorough investigation and if, perchance, a single ignorant foreigner (there are no ignorant Americans, see report of the commissioner of educa tion,) should be found, remedy the evil while she is yet time. There is a remedy for this sort of evil which is as simple as it is effective, and I give it without fee or favor: burn the foreign hound, burn him to a crispness, then no more harm will come because of him. Such advice may seem reac tionary north of the Mason and Dixon line, but why not adopt this practice if the general weal demands it? It ap parently works satisfactorily in the Bemi-civilized South where the people are "honest, educated, refined" and "thoroughly American." Incident ally they are mostly governors like the gemmy nonentity of the Salem States man. AXEL N. RAHM. The Key That Unlinks the Door.

They expect to move their family on the ranch as soon as possinie. The China Hill school Is closed for the season.

Miss Smith, we wish you success. A trip to Hood River over the rock grade so much improved by recent work, will help us to understand tbe need of another tax for more improve ments of the same nature on other parts of our roads. We understand there was a dance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paaacu Sat urday evening, November 19, as a sur prise on Fred, who, since that time, can count bis 21 years. Mr. and Mrs. Lynn, who have been visiting friends, will return to the East this week, if Mrs. Lynn, who has been very sick, recovers sufficient to permit the journey. A few friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lage Friday night of last week and spent tbe even ing. Games and other forms of amuse ment were enjoyed. A surprise was given Charles Wells Saturday of last week, it being bis birthday. We think perhaps there may be a charivari in our neighborhood not more than a year off. Mr. Taylor, who has been ill with typhoid fever for the post six weeks, is slowly recovering. Our telephone line has been changed all around again, there being several new phones on the line. Mrs. Magill is spending the week with Mrs. Sears. On Wednesday evening November IB, the schoolmates of Elmer Board man met at tbe home of Charley Lage and proceeded dowu the road to Elmer's home, where they took the young man thoroughly by surprise, he having taken a trip to the "land of Nod." But it did not take him long to make the return trip, being effi ciently aided by a number of the boys. The evening was merrily spent. Among the sports of the evening was a mental uut cracking contest In which the honors had to be divided among Lulu Hunt, Elmer Board man and Edgar VanAllen, while Edith Sproat had to console herself with a sack of empty nut shells. After a luuch of doughnuts, almond nuts and other kinds of nuts, Peter Mohr, Id behalf of those present, presented Elmer with a book as a slight token of remembrance from Ids Pine Grove schoolmates. We assure Elmer that the old adage, "Out of sight is out of mind," will not prove true in his case, and we will all be glad to have him return to Pine Grove in the spring. A Thanksgiving program entitled, "A Visit to Turkeyland," was very ably rendered by the pupils of the Misses Smith and Uleason's rooms. The little tots of the ABC class gave a motion song, which was particularly good, showing the patience and ability of their teacher. The patrons of the school were well represented, there being about 50 visitors present. Frank Boardman and Miss Effie Robinson left for The Dalles, and were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Thanksgiving day. Mr. and Mrs. G. I). Boardman have returned from a short stay in Portland. Married At the home of the groom's parents, John 11. Mohr to Miss Katb erine Wehr, both of Hood River. Found On oow bell, one circle taw, one hammer and several sticks of stump powder.

Miss Klddell spent Thanksgiving vacation in The Dalles. Miss Susan Mohr came down from The Dalles and spent Thanksgiving with the old folks at home. Mr. Wehr of Iowa, came out West to attend the marriage of his daughter, Miss Katberiiie; also to see the grand Oregon country. A Thanksgiving party was given at the home of A. I. Mason on the evening of November 24. On Tuesday evening, November 22, a number of the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Dethraau gave them a surprise, endeavoring to help them celebrate the 20th anniversary of their marriage, but were surprised themselves to find that they had come two days too late. This aid not spoil the fun, however, for one and all, both old and young joined into make a success of the evening, which was surely accomplished, If having a good time counto, Benefit for John Keller. John Kelley, whose hands were so severely burned last month, will be un able to use his hands for some time to come, and being thus kept from work, some of his friends propose to extend him a benefit entertainment at the opera house on the evening of December 19.
