'O TOGO ' r a HOOD KIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1005. NETS $500 FROM 53 APPLE TREES Fir hundred dollars from 53 apple treea. Tbla Is the record from the orchard of G. D. Woodworth, two mllea aouthweat of the city of Hood River. The tree were 11 yeara old and of the standard varieties New towns and Spltzeuberga. Several of these trees were shaded by poplara set out as windbrakes, and thus many of bis fine Spitzenbergs were not highly enough colored to be counted first class apples. This urn of iWJO It should be stated was made from first grade apples only. The small apples and culls went to another account. Had Strawberries all Bummer. M. Dumas of Mount Hood will set out a patch of everblooming straw berries this spring. He had a small patch of these berries last summer, whioh produced fruit from July 1 to October 1, and he says be wouldn't think of being without strawberries and cream every summer hereafter. Mr. Dumas finds his Mount Hood farm too big to handle alone and is looking for a tenant. His brother arrived from France, and is occupy ing the old bomsstead. Mr. Duma will clear 10 acres of land this spring. "The f armors of the upper valloy should hold their cord wood until the railroad reaches us," says Mr. Dumas who will keep bis until that time. The prioe be believes will be bettor, and it will be cheaper then to mar ket the wood. BIf Trees en Bnlpei Xarm. White Salmon, Wash., Fob. 18. Cditor Glacier: I notice in the Lewis and Clark fair notes that a section of the biggest cheery tree on the Pacific coast will be a featuer of the Sacra mento, Cal, exhibit. The tree was planted In 1850 and is three feet in diameter. The object of this article is to see If Wasco county, Oregon, can't come in as "left bower" in the game of cherry tree. ' . In the summer of '86 or '87, the Ore gon Pomologcal society was organized at The Dalles, and at one of our meet ings held at the farm of George Snipes, the writer took the diameter of several trees in bis orchard. One cherry tree measured six feet six Inches in circumference one apple tree four feet four inches in circumfer ence; one prune three feet six inches In circumference. Mr. Snipes settled there in 1852, and perhaps soon planted these trees. If that cherry tree has bad nothing bap pen to it until now, pehaps it can compete with Califorrnia. CHARLES WATERS. Hopes the Ballread Will be A do. "I am glad to see you take the prop er stand concerning the railroad' re marked C. F. Waldo of White Sal mon, who was In the city last Friday. "Yes the people can well atrord to be liberal in the matter of rights of way. They will soon get back more than they can ever lose by giving away the land now. "Of course no one would expeot the railroad to Injure a farmer's orchard or resldeno. The company will pay for any injury done a man's farm.' That railroad means a great deal for Hood River. " Mr. Waldo Is an old . railroad sup erintendent and knows whereof he talks. Mr. Waldo looks for a good fruit year. The cold weather has done no damage. The proposed union of the White Salmon growers seems to have fallen through with, says Mr. Waldo. White Salmon, though, will be on band with early berries. Mr. Waldo believes the berry growers will nnd enlarged markets this summer in Portland, with the great number of people who will be here from the East to visit the Lewis and Clark exposi tlon. Mr. Waldo Is a friend of the Glacier and declares he never saw a better looal paper, "The people appreciate It" said be, "and at White Salmon we watch for it just as regularly as Thurs day afternoon comes around." First Serf ham Machine In Tailor. The Hall brothers are new arrivals from the state of Kansas. They orougnt witn tnem a sorghum macb lne, the first ever brought to Hood River valley, and for that matter the first In Wasco county. Sorghum was grown as an expert ment by several of the farmers lust summer, and found to do very well in Hood River, A. O. Nolde and Alvln Herahey grew some of the cane. Now that there Is a machine here, there Is no reason why the ploople of uood Kiver cannot enjoy this Kastern delicacy. To many people it tastes as good as maple syrup. The Hall brothers came with a car load of goods, a oow, some hay and 1200 pounds of corn meal. They are here from Robinson, Kas. The three brothers are W. Hall, C. E. and J. H, Hall. W. Hall was here last summer and secured some laud north of the Columbia. All three are now batching in a ooltage near liojman a store. Their families will arrive about the first of March. - ' Foot Ball a Proper College Sport. Foot ball is a proper college sport, according to the pupils of the Hood River high school debating socclety. The question as debated last Friday was ''Resolved, That foot ball should be eliminated from colluge sports." Harold Hershner supported the affirm ative, with Rule Ulugg, itertha Ijilf erty, Omar Day assisting him. Muir Dano led the negative, and with Hope Shelley, Alva Day and Meririll (I uss ling won the decision. The judges were Violtit Massikor, Homer Wood and Edith Copple. Have Beea Married (2 Ytr. Thursday of last week was the 5&1 anniversary of the weddiug of Mr. and Mrs. William Ellis, or Grandpa and Grandma Ellia as their many friouds delight to call them. The woniuu of tb Eastern Star remembered tliu event by coming In upon them with Itaskttts overflowing with a supply of good things to eat. Merchant Gill and Charles T. Early of the Oregon Lum ber Co. also sent out their delivery wagon with provision. The old couple were touched by these acts of kindness, and felt very grateful to thsir friends. It appears that the wor thy couple are in needy circumstances the small returns from last spring's strawberry crop having been exhaust ed, but the Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Eli Is is a member, will sue that tbey are provided for.

A few counterfeiters have lately b en making and trying to sell imiint'Oiisof Dr. Klogs New Discovery for consump tion, oongba and colds aud other med icines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn you to beware of such people, who seek to profit, through stealing tike reputation of remedies which have been successfully curing disease, for over 3C years.

The dancing party last Wednesday evening in the Knights of Pythias hall was decidedly the most fashion aple and brilliant affair of the social season. The decorations were elabor ate and beautiful. A maze of bright red hearts buug suspended from the ceiling, while little cuplds graced the walls. The creations carried out very successfully the sentiment of at. Vul- eutine. Evergreens added to tlio beautiful effect, while potted palms and other plants converted the stage into a peautiful bower.' and added to the attractiveness of the docorations. The young women in charge of the party were the recipients of profuse congratulations for the decided suc cess of the dance. Thoy had accom plished wonders in transforming the spacious hall into a thing of beauty and a scene of gaiety, and spared, noth ing in adding to the attractiveness of the surroundings and the entertain ment of their guests. Danclug began promptly at 0 o'clock, preceded by an overture by Everests superb orchestra. 'The grand march was beautifully executed Mr. and Mrs. R. Norman Young led the march, and were followed by 75 couples. It was a few minutes after 1 o'clock when the last extra had been danced, and the strains of "Home, Sweet Homo" floated over the ball room. Punch and cakes was served by two little girls. The usual pro gram of waltzes and two-steps was Interspersed with a minuet and the lancers. Daiiity card programs were used. The young womon who were the hostesses of the evening were Mist linker. Miss Cramer, Miss -Groves, Miss 01ingor.Miss Howe, Miss Blythe, Miss Cross, Miss Kelsay, Miss Hoad ley, Miss Songer. The patronesses were Mrs. Kdward N. Jilythe,. Mrs. R. Nermaii Young and Mrs. Arthur I. Davidsou. , Refuses to See, or be Neen. Williams evidently desires it to be understood that these are not his receiving days as ho cooly turns his back on all visitors, says The Dalles Chronicle. A few days since a young attorney from Portland desired very much to see the man who has made himself so (injfamuous, and accord ingly entered the jail with a Dalles attorney. His cell is dark and on entering they found Williams lying on bis bunk. A light was lit; but the prisoner refused to look up, turning Lis back and remaining so while they were in jail. A number of school teachers were inspecting the jail last week and desired to seo Willimas. As soon as he heard some -one coming he hung a blanket over the coll door and seated at his table be turned bis back to bis audience aud continued his writing. Thus, when they pulled the blanket aside aud peeped in they only saw his back, lie is anything but sociable ' Fire Ruins His House. T.F. Dunn's residence in the Bar rett district was almost completely destroyed by tiro a week ago Sunday night The young child of Mr. and Mrs. Duuu was uot well and Mr. Dunn arose early in .the morning and threw several sticks of pitch wood in the stove. Sparks from the chimney started a blaze on the roof. There was only one bucket of water In the house. Half of this he throw on the flames, aud with the rest he soaked some bed clothes with which he at last smothered the flames, but not until the' clothes were ruined and nearly everything else In tin house.. Mr. Dunn is a new comer, aud owns a portion of what was for merly the Stewart ranch near C. E. Markham's. Send Here for Apple Tree Scions. Hood River is not ouly attaining a national reputation for apples, but nursery mou iu Eastern states hare come to believe that the best trees can be grown from Hood River scions. Orders for apple scions have lieon frouucut of late. Saturday A. I. Ma sou, president of the Hood River Apple Growers' uuiou, shipped his second lot of fruit tree twigs to points in Iowa and Missouri. The scions brlug ?2 a thousand, aud Mason says ho can make IM a day, and prune his orchard at the same time.

The long stops mado by the passen ger and frleght trains at Hood Kiver depot has brought the railroad com puny to a realization that as a matter of economy in time a water tank should be located at this point, aud accordingly the ordty has gone forth to place one south of the track aud just west of the passenger depot.

UNDERWOOD MAY HAVE DAILY MAIL Underwood people are hopeful the postal authorities will grunt them a daily mail service in the near future. Postmisstress Diirk received a com munication recently Hrking if there was anything that could m done to better the service for Underwood post office, aud she replied that a daily service would l.e appreciated, and that Urn patron would also like to have a money order office. A change has recently been made in the arrival of Die mail from Hood River. It formerly left this ofllce at 7:10 in tho morning. Hereafter the mail from ..Underwood will arrive iu Hood Kiver ut it :IiO, and leave for Underwood after the noon train from Portland. . This will give the Underwood people an opportunity to receive Portland morning papers the day they are printed. . Jim ilayiies, who was iu tho city Saturday from Underwood, says '.tl men are at work in tho -Moody logging camp of the Menominee Lumber Co. ou the north side of Underwood mountain. As the lo'S are sent over the bluff in a chute, the loggers in this camp are independent of any in junction concerning the driving of White Salmon river. The government authorities have ordered the lumber company to re more the (lam they coiiNtructod at the mouth of tho White Salmon river. This dam chunked the current of the stream and ruined Hie bout landing at Underwood. A unnit amount of sand luis been depohited, aud the eddy where the boats were accustomed to land is so hiiallow that it is impos- siple to get witlim landing distance of the chore. Mr. Ilajnessays there has boon considerable feeling aroused over the matter. There have been no developments regar4iiiL' the wluirf the people of Underwood have arranged to con struct. It is reported that Manager Campbell of the Regulator line has oll'end to pay a huge Mini for rent of the dick if the citizens of Underwood will build it. Mr. Campbell proimwed to have surveyors Inn lines for the lo cution of the dock, and they are ex pected soon to arrive. Since the stoppage of navigation ou the Columbia by floating ice, the stock of4provisious in the Underwood store ran low and Mr. liaynes was compelled to make a trip to Hood River to procure supplies for himself and neighbors. Rabbits are plentiful about tho homo of Mr. Ilayues on the Under wood bluff, but lie Fays without a dog ho is without the rabbit potpie. Mr. Hayues put in bin time lust week building u large and commodious burn. V Country Team Wins Again.

Almost half of the teachers w ho took examinations for first, second and third grade certificates last week have failed and those who have boon teach ing ou perm its are now out of a posi tion, says the Pendleton Tribune. The examination in ueaiilv nil subjects was unusually rigorous but the sub ject w as mental arithmetic Unit proved the most dillicult. .Many of the ap plicants who received high murks in nearly all studies failed almost utter ly ill tho mental arithmetic, test and accordingly the general average was greatly reduced. A number of those teachers who failed on that account are considered most successful instructors in the lower grades, but ns they were unpre pared for the "sticker" they will be compelled to resign. Many of the teachers also w ho have failed received high enough averages for a second or third grade cert i Urate but fell a few pisiiits below the required liver age for a llrst grade certillcale. The general average for a llrst grade cer tificate must be !M per rent. Professor Peebles, a inemlier of the examining board, snid yesterday that tho list of ipiesl inns was the most rig id which has been prepared by the stale board for a number of years, but that the teachers hail been made avvaro of the fact the state educational department hoped to raise tho stand ard of teaching ami t heref'ore unusual ly dillicult examiiiaf ions could have been expected.
