HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY.'MAECII 30, 1005. 1 I f s CRAM HAS BIG ESTABLISHMENT Frank A. Cram, the up-to-date mer cliaut, hm heim imrnuiiiK a viKor uus ji nicy or expansion since the first or I-ehruary. ami today has one of the ibikbm TOiuniiK umi drygoods Htorea the county. mo romier location of the Wil iiams pharmacy is now filled by Mr. ram witn a lare stock of clothinK and shoes.

U Jlr- Cr'" left the employ of '""""" , kju. or me J tones to branch out for himself, he was advised by some of Ijis best friends iu that city that it would be the mistake of his life to come to Hood River, whore they said there was no business. "Go out to the interior where people have money, tney pleaded. Hut Mr. Cram camo to Hood River, looked the situation over, and the possibilities of this city appealed to his business eye. Today the business of the Uo-to i.ate storo speaks for itself No other business hi the county has made the rapid advancements this store has since huptember 11)01. Mr. Cram has no intention ot sitting down, content that his business is big enough, but uas several extensive enterprises in contemplation tor the future. Mr. Clam's business affords a splen did gauge of the thriving condition of Hood River valley. Although 1904 was not a successful berry season in regard to prices, and the sawmills were not in operation, his business tor December last year was Hi per cent above that for the same month in l'.HJIS. The increase for the whole year was o per cenc over Unit of tlie pre ceding 12 months. "February and March are what may be called dull if thero are any dull months in business in Hood River," remarked Mr. Cram. "April has always opened out with a good lead, which is maintained all through the year. Yes sir, there is money in Hood River, and it can well lie said that every month is a good business month. "Hood River people are intelligent and careful buyers. While, of course, there is bound to be some business done out of town, from actual obser vation am able to say that twico as much goes out from The Dalles us from Hood River, taking into con sideration tho relative size of the two cities. "Hood River people are learning more ami more that it pays to buy goods at home. While local merchants expect to lie in husinoss for years to come and are here to make friends with each customer, an out-of-town businessman will endeavor to drive the best bargain ho can for ho knows he may nover see tho customer again. "My business is conducted strictly on a cash basis. In this way I am en abled to secure goods on close figures from the wholesalers and by taking advantage of tho discounts can place the clothing and drygoods on the mar ket at astonishingly low prices. In tins way the customer has come to realize that he can make money by paying cash for his goods. It is u. lonishiug what n lot of people in the town and valley have learned to do business on this basis." Mr. Cram has introduced another metropolitan feature in his store flx tues by the addition of a cash carrier system, which au expert from San Francisco installed the first of the week. Mr. Cram proposes in this way to secure tho services of a competent man to take his place at tlie desk, while he himself g(t into tho storo to assist personally in I ho sale of his goods. Prosperous Trout Luke Region. A writer in the lioldcndale Sentinel write i as follows about the Trout Lake country : Much has been said about our pros perous and feiiile valley, but the half bus never been told, or shall we at this time attempt to magnify. R. A. Byr ket claims the honor of being the first person in the country to experiment with red clover, the great cattle feed; irrigation was applied and tlie result is well known by those who have been fortunate enough to he in our valley in the Hummer time and behold the large fields of clover under the system of irri gation ; dairying is engaged in almost exclusively. ' Trout Lake Inn become a famous summer resort. Many who have tour ed Kurnpe and resorts of high reputat ion compliment our own as being almost equal to thai of foreign countries, natural scenery and ideal climate; we ere situated about twelve miles from Mount Adams. Uur valley has made a steady growth in population as well as large fields of grass; we boast of daily mail, one of the best schools in the county, two general merchandise stores, ' black smith shop, butcher pimp, two post olliecs Trout Lake and tinier, religious and secret sonifies, among the latter a Masonic lodge, and an I. O. O.K. will he instituted in the near future; co-operative butter and cheese factory, tele phone svstcm connected with long dis tance phono and a large hotel. We are iinformed Mr. tinier intends mnking some expensive additions to his place in the spring. The ranchers as a rule are prosper ous; a great many of the settlers are from the east, an I ha e prospered in their adopted slate iu a way that would have been impossible in the eastern states. We can also boast that our fellow rancher and neighbor, Wm. Coate, has lieen twice chosen by the people of this county to represent them in the legislature. We expect to see many eastern people in our valley next summer who will attend the fair at Portland and take a fide trip to Trout Lake. Await Decision on Williams' fase. District Attorney Menefee and Dep- utv K. W. ilson argued the Gorman Williams case before the supreme court last week. The c mrt is expected to render a deseision within two weeks, or it mny be a month before the fate of William-' is decided. lleniv Mciiinn for the defence, op'-ned tie argument, speaking for about ioi'tv minutes along the same line he pursued before the jury, the corpus delccti. He, however, abandoned the propo-ition that it is necessary to prove the corpus delccti by direct testimony; it may bt-done by circumstantial evid ence." Tliis the law stipulates. Mr. Menefee than took up argument, followed bv Mr. Wilson, both gentle mcn prt seiiting their side of the case as best us thev could in short speeches, insi-tina that the court must ponder well the esse as contained in their brief. Mr. M.Oinn was to close the argu ment, but did not avail himself of the ope ii'tueitv. It certinl'y looks to a person up a tree decidely dark for Williams savs The ualles Chronicle. However, as Mr. Wilson says, two things are very un certain to bank upon a horse race and a decision by the supreme court. Trail Around Mount Hood. Adolph Aschoff, supervisor of the norm naif of the Cascade Forest re serve, hopes to have a trail completed early this summer between Lost lake and Government camp at the head waters of the Sandy. This Is tho first work laid out by the supervisor for his rangers. When this trail is com pleted it will be possible to ride on horseback the whole distance around the base of Mount Hood. Trails from the Barlow road around the east side of the mountain to Cloud Cap Inn were completed last summer. These paths or trails are made for the convenience of rangers iu patrol ing the forests, but will be open to the use of tourists. The trip of 50 miles around the base of Mount Hood near the buow line will furnish an unique attraction to Eastern visitors to the Lewis and Clark fair, says Mr. Aschoff, who regrets that an electric road has not been constructed to the mountain before this. He says such a road would have lieen a paying at traction this summer. Supervisor Aschoff is anxious, be- oause of the light snow fall iu the mountains, to place his ramrers in the Held by April 15. Supervisor Aschoff, who was iu this citv todav. sava be has never seen so little snow in the mountains at this time of the year. Mountain streams are lower now than during the summer months, and some of them have no water in them at all. On Larch mountain, where Mr. Aschoff during the month of January, he found the erouud bare of snow. where usually there is seven and ten feet of snow at this season of the year. At Marmot. Clackamas countv grass has made a splendid growth and cattle are reeding on tlie range. uuiae i ocum was down from (iov eminent Camp last week, savs Mr. Aschoff, and he reports having made garuen in tho month of February, and that early vegetables are already sh ow ing thior heads above the ground. within a few miles of the snow lino of Mount Hood. Fruit trees are in full bloom at Marmot. Supervisor Aschoff roars a rrost will damage the fruit. Eastern Fruit Motes. Strawberries will be rine at Alvin. rn i . ... ' ' lexas, riy April i. it uecatur, aw., strawberries are in fine shape for a good crop, but blackberries were damaged consider ably by the last cold snap. Peaches are all killed. Pears were slightly in jured. Plums, cherries and apples are all right now. The outlook for strawberries is the best for years. About 500 acres iu strawberries were represented at a meeting iu Tv- ler, Texas, last week. It was rosolved that only the best fruit should be packed and that there should be rigid inspection. It is believed that this policy will result in better prices and in advertising berries shinned from that county. Lpon consultation it was found that it will lie necessary to import piCKers to Handle the crop Chamberlain's Remedy Klecls Alderman 1 can heartily and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy for affections of the throat and lungs" says Hon.

Scut First Apples to Teddy. W. R. Winuus, who lives the moun tains at the falls of Hood River, has tho honor of sending tho first box of Hood River apples to President Roos evelt. The apples were sent to tlie White House in Octolier l!Hl'2, at the close of the fruit fair iu that year. The apples were some pumpkins for size and beauty and wore judged pre mium fruit at the fair. There wore lio apples in the box, accompanied by the following inscription. "To Teddy Roosevelt and family: From the wild and wooly West, Whore tho apple grows the best. And the bears and mountain lions love to roam ; Where manhood reigns serene mid the rugged mountain scene, And you meet the true rough rider iu his homo. " Sight Pruwliiijr Thieves.

"We never saw such apples," was tho verdict from John O'Neil of Rakersfield, Cal., to whom John Law lees of Hood River sent two boxes of apples a short time ago. Mr. O'Neil is a cousin of Mr. Lawless. He distributed tho apples to neighbors of his, recent arrivals from the East, and they were all of the opinion that such fruit cannot bo equalled else where. Among the varieties included in the two boxes Mr. Lawless sent to California wore Winesaps, Ortleys, Xewtowns and Spitzeubergs.
