fignns were gathered list week when
the Glacier man mnde l is annual ean

It is ettimat -i that the ainmint of
improvements made In the valley, if
gathered up, would amount to a sum in
excess of that for the city. Hood River
has made no pretense of a boom, but
the figures show a very gratifying ad'
vancement.
As published last week, the popula
tion of Hood River is 1781, an increase
of 375 over the same date 12 months
ago. On a percentage basis this is an
increase of over 26.5. Few cities in Ore'
gon can show better figures for increase
of population and postal receipts during
the year 1904.

"The Oreuon horticultural exhibit
Bteadily improved during the last three
months oi we exposition, reaening us
best appearance during the mouth of
November when 260 boxes of apples
from Hood Kiver, tent out by the com
mission, assisted very substantially and
materially by the business men of Port
land and Hood Kiver, gave to Oregon
what fiKg been termed one of the very
best and most attractive exhibits in the
palace of horticulture.
'By this shipment we were enabled
to make an exhibit with which wese
cured two grand prizes, one for quality
and quantity and one for arrangement.
Had we been furnished with quantities
of the different fruits in season, as had
been so often requested, we would have
won more grand prizes, and the 82 sil
ver medals received would have been
gold medals."
Of the 83 silver medals on fruit won
by Oregon, Hood River farmers captured
87 and Mosier three, making a total of
40. This is exclusive of the gold medals,
of which Hood River was awarded two
one to the Apple Growers' union-and
one to O. D. W ooiiworth for cherries.

Dalles (iets Some Prizes.
Oregon made a great showing at the
St. Louis Exposition and carried away
many medals. Dalles producers over
looked a good chance when they neglect
ed to take advantage of the opportunity
to show what this section can do. A
few, however, were there with exhibits
and among the awards we find the fol
lowing: A siWer medal for J. M. flem
ming, who exhibited a collection of pep-
Jiers ; also a bronz medal for peaches.
.A. Fleck gets a silver medal for grape'.
J. Nelson a silver for prunes. VV. H.
Tavlor&Son, a bronze on prunes: J.
II. "Gibson for apples; George Webb for
peaches and prunes, and R. H. Webber
for prunes. Wasco county did herself
proud in securing the grand medal for
fruit. This was made possible by the
exhibit of apples sent from Hood River.
Chronicle
K Grim Tragedy
is daily enacted, in thousands of homes
as death claims in each one, another
victim of consumption or pneumonia.
But wben coughs or colds are properly
treated, the tragedy is averted.' b G.
Huntley, of Oaklamion, Ind., writes
'My wife had the consumption, and
three doctors gave her up. Finally she
took Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, coughs and colds, which
cured her, and today she is well and
fitroiig." It kills the germs of all riis-eaw-s.

FIND FEASIBLE
GRADE FOR ROAD
A Glacier reporter called on W. H.
Eccles, general manager of the Oregon
Lumber company, and made inquiry as
to progress being made w ith the pro
posed railroad up Hood river,
"ttur engineers have made a nrettv
thorough examination up the East Side
of Hood river for a distance of about six
miles," replied Mr. Eccles, "and while
grades are not entirely satisfactory, a
railroad up there is not an impossibility.
It is our intention," combined Mr.
Eccles, "to survey a line on I lie West
Side, which, from hurried examina
tions, looks pretty good.
Ihc line would be shorter by at least
two miles If built on the West Side.
That, however, might not be induce
ment enough to put it there. Much de
pends on the people as to rights of way.
So far, we have been given a great deal
of encouragement, many of the property
owners assuring us that they would
gladlv givejhe right of way if we would
onlv build the road.
"Yes. we think this the most prac
tical solution of the problem of getting
logs to nur mill, and lots of them. At
Baker City we haul logs more than
twice this distance and do a very satis
factory business there. ..
'We have at this time about eleven
million feet of logs in the river and could
have the road ;n operation and be deliv
ering all the logs we need to the mill by
rhe time those now in the river are cut.
We are logging at this time and shall
continue to do so until after the spring
Irive.
COMPLETING WORK
ON RAILROAD YARDS
The O. R. & N. is spending not a little
money in greatly improving the yards
at this point. The long-needed improve
ments, including the rearrangement
and enlargement of the depot, laying
new tracks, building of a new freight
depot, moving the section houses, etc4
will be completed soon.
The depot, when tin. shed, will lie one
of the neatest and best arranged of
any along the line. The platform will
be rebuilt and extended 1UU leet fur
ther west.
Two new spurs have been laid, one to
the new Hood River flouring mill and
one to Stranahan it l'agley's new
warehouse. The berry track has been
extended some two hundred feet, now
connecting w ith a new team track, which
has been put in below the freight depot,
and the old team track added to the
passing track.
xtra gangs are pushing the worn
along as rapidly as possible. The main
ine and adjoining tracks will be raided
and reballasted. When this work is
finished, the depot painted and the
yards dressed down with graval ballast,
the yards here will be considerably
mproved in appearance, which will add
greatly to the already most picturesque
locality of the scenic portion ottheu.

METHODIST CHURCH
FOR PINE GROVE
The Methodists of Pine drove district
are planning to build a church this
spring, says Rev. W. C. Evans. Daves
Divers bequeathed JlUiio to the church
at Pine Grove, and with this as a nu
cleus for a building fund it is thought
that a verv substantial building can be
erected. The Methodists have a strong
congregation in the Pine Grove district,
and deserve a better meeting place than
their present structure.
The revival services in the Methodist
church in this city ended last weeUwith
the result that 20 additional members
have been secured. Pastor Evans is
well pleased with the work. He "was
assisted by two lay evangelists from
California, Colburn and lirymer, who.
are now conducting special meetings at
Pine Grove.
The membership of the Methodist
church in Hood River now numbers
140.
Farewell to Mr. and .Mrs. Brace.
Sunday evening, January 8, Mr. and
Mrs. Wait entertained a few friends at
their home, in honor of F. O. Brace and
wife, who with their family left Hood
River Monday for a new home south of
The Dalles.
The time was very pleasantly spent
in lively talk andquiet play. Miss Ma
Brace gave her friends the pleasure of
listening to quite a number of her favor
ite pieces of limbic, also little Stella. only
six years of ae, executed some very line
music on the piano in company with
her sister Ida. Her time was excellent,
and for one so small, it is a surprise and
a pleasure to listen to her sing or piny
with the grace and dignity of a young
lady. Ail were delighted with the
little star (Stel.a).
At a late hour gnodbys were said and
the good wishes of loving friends will
follow Mr. and Mrs. Brace and family to
their distant home.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs J.
M. Hollowell, Garland Hollowell. Ho

CONTRACTS FOR
BOXES AT 81
c
Apple boxes will be made this year
tor i cents a box to the grower. I he
committee of three appointed at the
applegrowers' mass meeting two weeks
ago got down to work .with the result
that the growers are signing con
tracts with the Davenport Brothers
Lumber company for apple boxes at 8j
cents each. .
To those who paid 11 cents last vear
this will mean a big saving 2J cents on
the box or $25 on the thousand. The
agreement stipulates that the grower
snail purchase all his apple boxes from
the Davenport Bros., and that the luni
ber company shall sell for not less than
ten cots a box to anyone not signing the
contract.
Already over 50,000 boxes have been
contracted for, Including a majority of
me growers in the valley, says Mr Kul
say of the Davenport Bros. Lumber
company, the company will expend
$.HH)0 in a bx factory plant, which will
be located at Belmont or on the railroad
track at Ruthton. In either event the
company agrees to deliver the boxes to
the growers in the city of Hood River.
Frank Davenport says he may locate
the factory in town provided can iret
electric power in time. The company
would prefer to locate the factory in the
city if power can be had. This would
mean another payroll for Hood River.
Those comprising the committee who
arranged the deal with the Davenport
Bros. Lumber company were Messrs.
Shoemaker, S aten and Porter.
STRIKEBOUND
GOES TO BOTTOM
Special to the Glacier.
Stevenson, Wash., Jan. 10. The
steamer Dalles City struck a rock this
noon about a mile and a half above
Stevenson and lies now a badly wrecked
vessel, with her pilot house, entirely
submerged in the water.
The captain was at dinner and the
mate at the wheel, Immediately on
learning something was wrong, the cap
tain rushed to the pilot house and
started the steamer toward the shore.
By this means the passengers were
saved and most of the freight kept out
of the water. The hull is reported
ripped open from stem to stern.
The rock causing the damage lies in a
channel unused by the deep-draft boats,
but was considered safe for lighter
steamers. The Regulator was in the
locks at the time, and immediately came
to the assistance of the crippled steam
er. The passengers had been safely
landed on the Washington shore, and
from there were taken to Cascade
Locks. ,
A large number of horses and a big
load of freight were aboard, but by
moving the same to the bow of the
steamer, but little of it was seriously
damaged.
When the steamer struck the rock,
the passengers were panic stricken, and
but lor the cool work of the officers
there would have been serious results.
