0 HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1004. BIG ICE PLANT AND WAREHOUSE DAVIDSON TO EXPEND $15,000 Will Erect Brlek Structure this Spring Joe Wllxon hag Another Brick in Contemplation. a tvo-iiory uricK cold storage ware nouee ami ice i ant 10 oe erected nutim? the coming spring at a cost of 115,000 is under vonlumpiutiun by the DavidBon fruit company. This company lias purchased the warehouse and lease of railroad property from Joe Wilson, who in turn accepts a lease of ground between the warehouse of the iruit Growers union and Page & Son. Mr. Wilson also announces that when he puts up another warehouse it will be a two-story brick structure. The proposed warehouse of the David son Fruit company will be 40x100 feet in extent.and will be erected on the pres ent site of the Wilson warerooms, which will be moved immediately to grouud where the cannery formerly stood, Here it will be used during the coming berry season as an office and receiving wareroom. The ice plant to be installed will have a capacity of seven tons a day, and will be erected cbieny to make ice for the refrigerator cars loaded here. An one fruit car requires five tons of ice, to meet the need j ol id or two dozen cars a day a large quantity of ice will have to be manufactured early in the season and kept on hand in a large cold storage room. This same room will be used later in the year for storing winter apples. It will have a capacity of 85,- uou boxes of apples. Mr. Davidson says he first learned the real worth of a coldstorage ware room for apples from Burt Van Horn. Mr. van Horn has a large ice plant and warehouse near Buffalo, where he stores his winter apples until late in the spring. Van Horn says that apples packed in October will shrink inside of a month if not placed in cold storage, but fruit like the Baldwin apple if packed when picked and immediately placed in cold storage will be first class when placed on the market next spring. With this means of keeping Hood River apples this new chemical cold storage plant of the Davidson Fruit company will mean much to the apple growers ot the val ley. The coldstorage ware rooms will be useful in the berry season. Berries re' ceived in the heat of the day will be shoved into the cooling room before be ing placed in the refrigerator cars. Mr. Davidson eavs he lias found out from California shippers that it is the sudden changes of temperature and moisture precipitated in the refrigerator cars by the wa'in fruit placed therein and allowed to cool that produces mould on fruit. The warm fruit melts the ice and sends the temperature up in the car. When the car is re-iced the tempera ture suddenly goes down again. It is this change of the temperature that is believed to cause the mould. California' fruit men are enabled to ship cherr'-es all the way to New York by cooling the fruit pefore putting it in the refrigerator cars, while Hood River cherries spoil in going to Denver. 'Whetheror not this plant will be ercctod this spring depends altogether on the weather," said Mr. Davidson. If the weather is such as to permit ue to begin building operations in February there will be plenty of time to complete the work before the berry season. "If we cannot begin in February operations will have to be postponed until later in the summer, as such a delay would throw the work into the shipping sea son." Rev. Kelson Installed at) minister. Rev. O. J. Nelson was formally in stalled as minister of the First Unitarian society in this city Sunday morning. A large congregation filled the auditorium of the church, and there was special music, among the numbers being a selection by Mrs. II. L. Voree. T. J. Cunning, president of the board of trustees, delivered the charge on behalf of the church. Dr. T. L. Eliot, pastor'emeritu8 of the Church of Our Father, Portland, then stepped to the floor of the auditorium and delivered the charge to Mr. Nelson. Ae Dr. Kliot is pleased to call Hood River one of his homes, he considered it more suiting to the occasion that he deliver his charge to the new minister from the floor of the church. His kindly words of advice to one taking a new charge in the ministry were listened to atten tively. After a prayer, Rev. W. G. Eliot, jr., reminded the members of the church of their monetary obligations to the new minister and delivered the morning sermon and the charge to the congre gation. Mr. Eliot took fur his subject, "Greater Hood River." Mr. Eliot spoke not from the standpoint of com mercialism, but pictured the attainment of that state ol perfection when the citizens of the town will "point with apology to anyone not considered thoroughly honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellow men. His eloquent words of appeal to the mem bers of the Unitarian society in Hood River should be productive of much that is good. The church starts Its new minister without a dollar of indebtedness, and with no subsidy from the society in the East. Horses Smash Buggy in Bnnaway. Mrs. Bert Lane and another woman whose name could not be learned yes terday, narrowly escaped serious injury in a runaway on State street, Monday evening. The women were thrown out of the buggy in front of the residence of Frank A. Cram, the horses continuing on, and when near the west end of -tlie street, in front of the house of Mr. Snow, the top of the buggy crashed against a tree and was broken clear off. Mr. Know noticing the running hors es, started down the road, when lie met the women, whom he took into his house and then telephoned for a livery rig to take the women to their hdrne at Menominee. Jim Stranalian drove the parly home, and when very nearly there met Mr. Lane and the husband of the other woman, who had seen the runa way team come home with nothing but the running gearof the buggy, so had started immediately for town, feaing their wives had met derth in going over the high bluff at Haynes hill. The horses were uninjured and the women only slightly bruised, but it is an occasion they do not wish to repeat very soon. Improving Pine Creek Flame. Hood River, Or., Dec. 6, 1904 Editor Ci lacier: As I believe the farmers like to hear what is being done on the Farm ers' Irrigation company ditch, I would like to write a few lines on what I saw I took gome provisions to Mr.Staten's camp December 1, and then went down on 'he flume where Mr. Staten and his turn are at work on the Pine creek lm provement. Thin improvement cut out the high trestle at Pine creek, and puts the flume on a rock grade around the the bank. This is a tine improvement we needn tfear the old trestle any more. Mr. Staten spoke in praise of his men being good workmen, and seeing what they had accomplished in a short time in rain and mud, I think they are all O. K. Mr. Staten showed me other re- fairs they had made on tlie main Hume, could see a number of new legs had been put in. I think we have a right man in the right place. l ours truly, FRUIT MEN CALL Ji MASS MEETING A. I. Mason, president of the Hood River Fruit Growers.' union, announces that a mass meeting of the fruitgrowers of Hood River valley will be held at some date in the near future, when questions of vital interest to fruit men will be taken tip. The matter of asking the legislature to provide means for a fruit inspector will be one of the chief topics to consider. The date will be set next week. Ail fruit men are asked to attend and take part in the discussions for tlie good of the cause. BUSINESS GROWS AT PARADISE LAUNDRY Glen Fabrick, who has been conduct ing the Paradise laundry for the last month, is well pleased with the increase in tlie Dusmess. Mr. jaorick has stood well by his determination to make quality his watchword, and as a result manv people are patronizing the home laundry, who were accustomed in the past to send their laundry work to Portland, fearing that tlie home institu tion could not do such good work. Things are different now. The work being turned out by Mr. rabnek is strictly first class the equal of the best anywhere. Many people have given the Paradise laundry a trial and have found out for themselves that the pre vious statements to this effect held true on trial. A Glacier reporter dropped into Mr. Fabrick's establishment one day last week, and found a busy lot of men and women turning out the finished product in snow-white laundryed goods. Pro prietor Fabrick stole a few minutes of ids time to show the uewsgatherer about the institution and explain the working of the intricate pieces of machinery that make the old-time wash-day ashamed of itself for the drudgery it used to cause. The smiling girls who manipu late the machinery appeared well pleased with their work. 'We don't attempt to rush our em ployes," remarked Mr. Fabrick. "When we hnd the work increasing, extra help is put on as the business demands. In this way we aim to instill the idea of thoroughness. Nothing is permitted to be wrapped up and sent from here un less we know our best efforts have been expended in turning out an article that our patrons will be pleased with." A number of improvements have been made about the building that make for convenience and economy in conducting the work of the laundry. A covering has been built over the furnace used to heat the irons, and by this means an additional drying room is made use of. Much of the machinery in use is of the very latest pattern. With the increase m the business Mr. Fabrick is receiving large orders each week from the hotel at Collins hot springs. Work also comes in from Stevenson, and also from lute ha I mon.

The enterprising plumbing firm of Norton & Smith has purchased the tools and outfit of R. J. Woicka. Mr. Woicka has moved to Portland. D. R. Norton of Norton & Smith, states that he is well pleased w ith Hood River, likes it better every day, and has a business that is bringing in good returns aud growing with the town. The firm is well supplied with all the neces sary appliances for doing first class work in the plumbing line. Ihree men, in addition to the partners in the business, are kept busy all the time. Tuesday, Norton & Smith were given the contract to put in the steam heating plant for the new Brosius build ing. Fabulous Wealth in Viento Mines. Special to the Glacier. Viento, Or., Dec. 12. The American Eagle mines at Shell Rock, located and owned by Mark W. Gregg and Phillip U. Warren of this city, give promise of fabulous wealth to" the owners. An assaver's report on some of the rock shows it to run 13279. 50 to the ton. Messrs Gregg and Warren believe they have struck it rich, and expect soon to be sending ore to tlie smelter by the car load. The claims are near the O. R. A N. track, and already a large stream of miners is pouring into this city to take advantage of the choice claims still un staked. Watch the smoke from Shell Rock. 8. W. Currun. of Viento, Onnron.
