Her death occurred at bain.a harbara. Sunday, the Gth in stant, and her body arrived last Fri day ut Hood l!ivor, accompanied by her brother Wallaco Young, ltolatives and kind friends looked after the fun eral arrangements. A beautiful and fining lbral tiilmto was furnished by her schoolmates, and young friends of ( Well.

Friday until Sunday the body lay at tho undertaking parlors of a. t. Jiai-tinesM. 1 he funeral services wore held at tho M. v.. church and were conducted by M. P. Udell assisted by tho pastor, Key. Kvans. Sadie was lit yours old on November 30. last, and had spent most of her life at Udell, and wo note one sad feature to-wit: Tho absence of her parents at the funeral. Jt being impractica ble for thein to come with the remains. Tho below zero weather a few days ago brought into requisition the old pino knots around the woodshed. These cold waves do not come often, nor stay long when they do come, but, t-oi'vo as a reminder that prepara tion should bo made for the protec tion of things that will freeze, and at the same time cause the blood to cir culate freely. Last Saturday the writer walked from town and really on joyed t he crisp air. That sort of physical culture is the best medicine we can take. 1'oor old Dalles City! Hecent vis its there convinces tho most skoptical in i ml of the necessity of keeping Hood River at home by killing the Cascade county bill. The Dalles to day is not as good a town from a busi ness stand point as it was IK) years ago. Perhaps they should have our sympahy rather than criticism. RoswoII Shelley was duly appointed executor of the estate of J. W. J Hack, deceased, on the loth instant, a legal not ico of which will lie found in an other column of this issue of the Gla cier. II. M. l'oole, who went to The Dalles tho early part of the week, re turned overland last Saturday. The cold weather seemed to have no Uid ell ret upon him. lie was as spry us a young man on his return. Kara and Walter Sillimau are at Cump No. '2 of the Oregon Lumber company. Sam informs us that there are 2. men engaged there now, and It is the supposition that a large force will be there during the coining sea son. Tho pay roll of the valley is in creasing and there isn't such a thing hero as enforced idleness In working weather. Now that the question of building a railroad up the valley is settled, the next question is, Which aide of the river will it follow? It would seem that if tho directors wore familiar with tho resources of tho valley, that there would not bo a shadow of doubt as to Its covering the Kast Side of the valley, ltut then tho question of the right of way is an important one to the builders. And this might have something to do with the present plans of tho promoters. Tho Kast Side and Willow Flat would surely be largely benelltted by a loop around our valley,and from this point of view the lund-owuera and shippers along the proposed route could well alt'ord to interest themselves in this right of way matter. The owner of a small tract of land In Hood River valley, could of course be damaged by reasou of a railroad cutting it in two, while his neighbor, whose land it did not touch, could receive the same bouollt ol' the man v ho had the road through his place ami none of the damages of a right of way, Following up this thought should the route hinge upon a questlou of right of way? Then would como the question of equaliza tion of damages. A railroad that Is 3C r n Our Prices JSRUSJfl We have had several years' experience in buying Drills .iitd Dnioist.s' sundries.

PINE GROVE Little Zoe Newman Is sick with pneumonia. We are hoping she will improve rapidly. Miss Mary Hunt and Oretrude John son left February 10, for Monmouth where they are going to attend the state normal school. Pine drove pupils are preparing for the Lewis and Clark exposition, and it is a good thing for them that expositions only come once in awhile. Fry Clark has loeu sick all of last week, but is now almost well again. The weather in this district has been like spring and we were thinking about getting ready to wear our Hum mer clothing when down came the snowflakos so thick and fast that in less time than it takes to tell it the ground was just white with snow, and we now think wo are in Iceland. Last Friday, one of tho teachers, Miss Uleason, was ill and her pupils joined those of the higher room, and school wont on as usual. Miss Smith the primary teacher left last Wednesday to take teachers' ex aminations at The Dalles. During her absence Miss Lulu Hunt tilled her position. . The attendance of school has been very poor the past week on account of sickness aud the snow storm. Lost at Pine drove, February 10, 1905 by freezing, five fushlas, one calla- lily, one Chinese lily, one cactus, two wandering Jews, two oak geraniums, one apple-blossom greanlum, and several other kinds of geraniums, also one rubber plant. Anyone having some slips to spare please bring them to the high school room of 1'lne drove.

This is what wo call a cold snap lu this country, but back East we would call it line weather for winter. The thermometer registered from four to 10 degrees below zero last Friday and Saturday night. It makes us old moss backs hump u.bnt we can stand It awhile if it don t last too long. W. (!. Dodge went to Portland last Monday to work. If ho can find work that suits him, he will stay all summer, if not he will be back In a month or mi.

Just as we were beglning to think about getting out the plow, etc., to commence another seasou's labors we find ourselves in the throes of another spell of winter, Wednesday afternoon as he was re turning from town, Mr. Watorbury saw a digger scurrying across the road. "Look at that." says ho, "a digger out the Ml h of I'ebruaiy. Win ter Las surely bioken." ltut we will calmly waif, remoii .bering that all things como to him who waits. From recent press reports, we would judge that our friend In Udell has about, the proper ilellnition of politics, liot wo wish to add that the neglect of ullicial duties for the fur therance of private emls seems to be the aim of a good many of our public servants. In this connection Mr. Shelley's recent article in the Tele gram Is worthy of careful considera tion by those who would seek olllce at tho next election. The people of Dukes valley and Wil low Flat spent u long to bo remem bered evening at (.he residence of Air. and Mrs. Z. .M. iJidmou, last Wednes day evening. The evening was spent in dancing and curds. A light lunch was served nt ll:!M alter which tho amusements were remmed for awhile. Stock Foods. J FACTS I O At a late hour the guests departed. with unanimous expressions of the good time all had enjoyed and wish ing for many more evenings as pleas ant with their host and hostesses. A few were present from Mount Hood and Udell. Arthur Davidson is excavating the basement under his commodious barn, Mr. Davidson is well aware of the ad vantages accruing from having plenty of room under roof for animals as well as implements. Friday morning we awoke to find ourselves in the throes of a regular blizzard, like the ones you read about back kast. The kind that demoral izes traffic aud breaks up telephone and telegraph commulcatlons. rri day night the mercury started down the thermometers and by Saturday morning It was found lodged all the way from two to 15 degrees below, ac cording to location. J. O.Cameron re ported 10 below; J. P. Hillstrom, 15 below; Z. M. Itadmon, zero. Owing to the cold weather Saturday ulght there was a very poor attend ance at the literary. However a very good program was rendered. Much of the success of the evening was due to the glee club which rendered two very good selections which brought down the bouse. The question box contained many excellent questions. There were sever al in the mental arithmetic which created considerable amusement. J. O. Camoron told why he considered Dukes valley a more beautiful place than the Willow Flat. Next Saturday night is election night and a full attendance is desired. The glee club will furnish several songs, besides one or two dialogues that are also on the program. There has been a great deal of com plaint from patrons of the Mount Hood telephone line on account of the poor service. The last five days at least the line has been broken aud lying on the ground just north of John Lawless' house. When patrons are expected to keep .their phone rent up, they surely have a right to ex pect and to demand a reasonable service. It begins to look as if these patrons desire competent service, it would be necessary for them to pool their old baling wire and put up their own line. Such a line could not give poorer service than they now receive, liosides thoy would have the consola tion if it didn't work that the line was their own. F. A. Mussee and D. L. Davidson and their wives took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Z. M. Rodmon, last Sunday, tho occasion was in honor of Mrs. lied mon's and her son's birthday, both of which occurred on the same day. The dinner was one tit for a king's banquet.und to say that all did ample justice to it is the st evidence we can give to suport Mrs. It s ability in the culinery line. After a most enjoyable day the guests departed wishing Mrs. Redmon and her son many more returns of the day as pleasant as this. We have often heard it said that there were tricks in all trades. A rocout trip by where C. H. Rone's Japs have been cutting and piling wood has convinced us that the Japs are clover imitators of their white educators. II. P. Belieu tolls us that he would like to rent his ranch to some one, a good reliable man for a term of years, with the provision that the tenant do a certain amount of grub bing and clearing each year. Mr. lioliou has 20 acres of the celebrated Willow Plat apple laud, set out. This would surely be a good opportunity for tho right man. Dennis Dodson expects to move from the (1. D. Boarduian place to the planer this week. - Later he will move on a ranch in the lower part of the valley. MOUNTHOOD. J. S. Patterson and family left Mount Hood last Thursday morning and started on their journey to West 1'lattsburg, N. Y. E. C. Miller took them to Hood River, while William Dodson took the trunks. Mrs.T. H.Larwood invited the Unit ed Artisans of Mount Hood assomuly to a surprise party at her home on the evening of Mr. Larwood's birthday, February 7. Mr. Larwood was taken completely by surprise. Mrs. lar wood is a charming hostoss and a most enjoyable evening was spent, play ing cards, Flinch, etc At about 11:110 tho guests were summoned to the dining room whore an elaborate lunch was served, including coffee and cocoa. After a fow more games all departed wishing Mr. Larwood might have at least a birthday a month. Those present wore : Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Larwood, Miss Nan Coop er, Mr. ami Mrs. J.
