JOSLYN'S CLAIM
FINALLY GRANTED
After waiting 60 years for the irovern
ment to pay him for the use of his farm
as a fort during the Indian outbreak at
vtniteoaimon in I MO, the announce
ment was made on the dav of hi death
that E. 8. Joslyn's claim ui flfiOO is to
oe allowed at the present session of con
gress.
The announcement comes through
press dispatches, dated Colorado City,
December 29. Mr. Joselvn's claim
against the government for fl500 was
for deprivation of the use of the claim
ant s farm on the Columbia river in
1855, 1850 and 1857 Uuriiiff the years
of the mentioned, thne the claimant's
laud was used as a' military station hv
the United States troops engaged in
suppressing an Indian outbreak.
in the hall-century that has inter
vened Joslyn has beii engaged in push
ing his claim. On toe dav that the let
ter announcing that it would be nnid
Joselyn died and the claim will be
paid to the widow.
An extended account in the Glacier
two weeks ago of the life of Pioneer Jos
lyn told something of the Indian troub
les in the earlv 60's. What was .loaivn'a
farm is now tue projierty of Judge A.
R. Byrkett at Biotten landing. Some
logs of the fort constructed on this
farm by the government in 1855, today
form an outhouse on Judge Byrkett's
farm. This building ia an intenwtinu
old relic. Port holes are plainly visi

Apples Bring $4.50 In err York.
A Chicago dispatch in the New York
Packer has the following lo say concern
ing the arrival of Hood River Spilzen-
bergs in New lork city:
It sounds tunny to talk ol shipping
apples from the Hood ' River section of
Oregon to New York city, but that is
what has been done during the season
by Burt Van Horn of New Fane.N. Y.
ilenry D. Hayes, who has been down
in Yolk state buying apples forC. H.
Weaver & Co. during the fall, and who
returned to the city a day or two ago,
reported that he had shipped a numlier
spittenoergs and JNewtowns to New
York city recently from this section for
which he realized $4.50 a box.
Mr. Van Horn is also a large York
state apple grower, but he seems to lie
equally as well represented in the Hood
Kiver section as he is in ork state
where he has large orchards. He has
250 acres planted there and finds the in
vestment highly satisfactory. It is re
ported on good authority that there are
some single acreB in Hood River valley
that are making for their owners f HXK)
at present.
Fancy boxed western apples seem to
have moved well on this market this
Beason, and it may be that in the future
Oregon and Washington as well as Col
orado and New Mexico, are to be taken
into consideration as an important fac
tor in sizing up lie apple situation.
But the scepter has not departed from
I rsacl yet.
Social Notes From Aberdeen.
Mrs. J. F. Stranahan, who is visit
ing her parents in Aberdeen, Wash.,
sends the Glacier an account of the pow
wow and grand annual potlutch of the
Tillacum Iiiyu Wawa club, as published
in the Bulletin of that city. Judging
from the extended writ-up, the club
must have had a bias skuokum time.
The Bulletin says:
"Besides the members of tho tribe,
there were present Squaw Stranahan,
a former member, but who is now wed
ded to a mighty chief of a tribe of Hood
River Indians, and her papoose, young
Chief Carlisle Squaw Crawford, whose
brake is a great white chief, who deals
in magic arts with little pieces of lead
and Squaw Chassel, whose wigwam ad
joins that of Princess Magill."
Mrs. Stranahan closes her letter by
stating tt at sue is having a good time
but thinks there is no place like Hood
River.
Municipal Street Cars
The remarkable increase of trolley
systems in Great Britain within five
years has beeu attended by interesting
developments in municipal ownership.
Of B12 electric lines no lewer than 82
are owned and managed by municipal
authorities, in many oi ine municipal
systems the tramway departments pur
chase current from the municipal t-lec-
ric lighting station, and generally
the price charged is high enough to pro
vide a handsome pront to the lighting
department.
An interesting analysis of Blackburn
city tramways shows that for the past
year the loss amounted to 0,1.(8 after
paying interest and sinking fund. Old
ham has a loss of 7,820, and at II udders-
field the deficit amounts to 4,900 The

This allowing indebtedness of the city
at this tiuit
to
be $881.07 and an in-
crease of $
x, over mat o ast year.
over that of last
nue and Hie purrlmsea made in connec
tion with tho lire department, showing
is good.
In add'tion to above expenditures.
the street c niinissioner has collected
and disbursed about $700 In stteet work.
In this connection 1 wish to recommend
that in the future the commissioner
collecting such moneys turn them over
to tho city lieitsurer and that they be
disbursed in the usual manner.
Liiiuor licenses in the past year
brought into our treasury $2400, that
will not he collected this year, hence
that amount less to expend on im
provements. I would therefore recom
mend that we observe the most strict
economy and that no indebtedness be
reated unless it be by a bond voted by
the tax payer.
Hie sewer matter is an iinportantone.
I heartily favor the buildingof necessary
sewers and the municipal ownership of
Water syBlem. As this Is the Lewis
and Clark year, hundreds and thousands
of visitors will pour into our state.many
of them coming to Hood River and if
favorably impressed, may locate with
us. 1 would therefore recommend and
request that every citizen of our little
city take hold and make his surround
ings as attractive as possible; not only
cleaning up the front, but the back
yards as well. This will assist very
materially in bringing about the tlesired
impression on oui Kastern visitors, that
We are progressive.
I would recommend further, that
this council assist the citizens in every
Way possible in the promotion of their
common liiterest.mainluining if possible
the present high standard of morality
by the enforcement of the law. In
carrying out the foregoing recommend
ations I pledge yon my earnest support.
Respectfully submitted,
A. S. Blowkks, Mayor.
Low Fnmilgrant Hates to the West
What is probably the most extraordi
nary inducement that has yet been made
to encourage immigration to Oregon,
Washington and Northern Idaho, of set
tlers from the middle West, is announced
by the traffic department of tho Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and
Southern Pacific Oregon lines. Fffect
ive February 15 to May 15, the rate on
movables of colonists will Im reduced
one half, from the Missouri river to
points in the Willamette valley on the
Southern Pacific Oregon lines, and one
third to all points in Kastern Oregon
and Washington and In Northern Idaho.
The rate will be made effective during
the periotls in which low one-way pas
senger rates are named, under what is
termed colonist or hotneseekerb' rates,
combining to enable intending settlers
to migrate at a minimum cost.

The presence of sugar in beets was
discovered in 1747 by Maggraft, a Ger
man chemist, who advised that they be
cultivated for the sugar, but it was 50
years before satisfactory results were
obtained and Napoleon is the man who
should be credited with the success of
the lieet. Now, the output of beet Btigar
is more than 5,000,000 tons a year, while
that of cane sugar is about 4,000,000
tons.
The number of wood ties in the rail

world.
Evidence is offered that a progressive
drying out of the climate is taking place
on the Pacific coast. At no very remote
period some of the arid plains of Eastern
Oregon were evidently covered with for

The defendants in Ihe criminal action
hired a team of Ward & Kuliertson to

in the hands of strangers and failed
to rtturu it or pay for ils use. They
were arrested 011 information filed by
District Attorney Muneleo and after

W here They all Pull Together
According to the Glacier there is very
likely to lie a railroad built from Hood
Rier up the valley to the mountains.
A large corps ol surveyors in the field
and if a suitable grade can be found in
the city of Hood Klver it is thought
the road will lie built. Such a road
would unquestionably be of great benefit
to Hood River, and as her people usually
act in concert in such matters and
stand not in the order of their doing
but do, we suppose they will get w hat
they are alter. Such conmuiiilies usu
ally do, particularly when backed up
by a o d newspaper like the Glacier
for instance. ltrigon Irrigator.

MENEFEE WILL
in m. ivias
Frank Menefeo, district attorney for
Wasco county, informs the Glacier that
he will do all in his power to enforce
the luw in respect to the closing of the
saloons in Hood Hiver. The people
voted to have them closed, he says, and
as that is the law, he intends to see that
it is enforced. But to do this he asks
for the co-operation of the peopleof Hood
River.
"I have heard it reported," said Mr.
Menefeo, "that the'Haloous were being
kept open in Hood River since the first
of the year as heretofore and have also
heard that the question was being asked
as to what I intended to do about it.
Wiil yon kindly inform the people of
Hood River as to the situation so 1 may
lie able to work in harmony with those
who desire to see the laws enforced.
"Believing as I do that the people of
Hood Hiver, or any other locality, have
a right to control their own local affairs
and they having decided by their votes
in favor of prohibition, and it being a
law on our statute books, 1 shall certain
ly not hesitate to prosecute any case that
limy come to my knowledge wherein a
violation of tho law has occured.
"However, I can not lie personally
present to watch for violations of l lie
law and information will have to come
to me from some of the Hood River citi
zens or ollicciB, in the way of testimony
which can be used in court; and if any
one will furnish me with the names of
two substantial people who are knowing -to
the fact and can swear that liquor has
been sold in violation to the law, nothing
further will be asked of the people, but
1 will do the rest. .
This shall be my position so long as
the good peoplo of Hood River shall
leave their action taken at the last elec
tion undisturbed. I am ready to do my
part but must have the co-operation 01,
at least, a part of the peoplo of Hood
River in tho way of furnishing me in
formation where I can obtain the neces
sary evidence to make a case."
