TO THE PEOPLE of Hood River and Vicinity! J. E. RAND MUST RAISE A GOOD MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS. In order to do this we must sacrifice our stock. GEO. E. WHARTON, " J. E. RAND. Agent for Creditors. BINGEN LOOKS FOR RAILROAD CEPTAIN IT WILL COME SOON Htranger Seeks to Secure a Leane on Valuable ('round Heal Estate Start Jloominff. Bv a Stair Corrennoudent. Biniren. Wash.. June 20. The an nouncement cornea from the general niHUHKer of the llarrtman line In the northwest that llarrtman and II ill have got together and will at once allow work to be startod ou the much talked of line of railroad from Kiparia, Whhi., to LewiHton, along the north bank of the Snake river. The llnrrl inan interest will do the work, but the Hill Hues bold the right to une the road, which la to be extended from Lowinton Into the Clearwater and oth er rich agricultural diiitricU a noon aa routes can be determined and right of way secured. From LewiH ton on the two ayHtems will build the line jointly. This action la considered positive proof that the Ilarrlmau and II ill in terests are agreed on a course of northwestern development and will pursue It at ouce, shutting out com petition from proposed electrio linos. llingon is a-tremble with agitation. The people who have watched and waited for the coming of a railroad or something that would tend to give positive assurance are holding jollifi cation meetings and shaking bands with one another. Theodore Suksdorf and his brothers are wearing broad smiles these days and the old pioneers who have scanned the mountains and the rivers for hos tile Indians are now brushing the brims of the bats buck and looking down the river bank along the pro posed route of the new road. There is no quostion but what the Harriman system will soon have two competitors In the transportation business between Portland aud the east. The Milwau kee road Is beading this way, and the extension Is being pushed from Cham berlain, South Dakota, with tremen dous energy. As soon as this road enters the territory now under a flag of truce between the Harriman and Hill forces, the armistice will tie at an end. The Hill roads will have to light Independently for the business or l)e worsted by the Mllwaukoe. Utlloial announcement was made re cently by President Karling regarding construction of the line from Cham berlain to the Hills, but he did not disclose the oollossul plans of the com pany, lint It is as certain as anything ran be in this world that the Milwau kee will have a road completed to the Paclflo coast as soon as rails can be laid over the route that has been se luctod for it. Several routes were sur veyed. 1 am unable to say which will be followed. Hut it la ridiculous to doubt the clear purpose of the com pany. In the engineering department of tho road it is now common knowl edge. The road will tap the oil and coal fields of Wyoming, although the main line will not necessarily enter these regions. The route will, in all likelihood, skirt the north boundary of Yellow stone Park, pass through southern Montana along a fork of the Wisdom rlvor, entor Idaho through the Lolo pass In the Bitter Hoot mountains, come down the north bank of the Col umbia and cross the river over Its own bridge, aud enter Portland over the terminals of the Oregon Water Power & Hallway company. It Is an assured fact that the direc tory has voted to build to Portland aud that (he gigautio undertaking Is uudor way, and evory modern mot hod aud machine has been brought into action to rush the ooustruction work. Ho soou there is visions in the little towu that has been dormant for some time that a new city is to spring up. Saturday a stranger from Portland was ondoavoring to secure a lease ou the large Thomas store building, but fullod owing to tho fact that the owner would not lease for a term of years. A new wagon and blacksmith shop is to open, a meat market will be opened this weok, and a barber is coming and Ed Suksdorf, the proprietor of the Maple Ilotol, Is making great preparations to take care of the crowds that will tie attracted by the new road. Ed Suksdorf has many flue lots In the city that be is offering for sale aud be told me last wek that many had been optioned as a result of the pub licity given the proposed new road. P. Tamos will put on bis new stage line this week making the Trout Lake country every other day. Hereafter idl boats will stop aud Hingen will be come lively. There is no quostion but what it is the prettiest spot ou the Columbia river. Most of tho bind Is as nature left it, here aud there a tree only. No finer town site was ever laid out by experienced engineers. The travel of visitors this year has been large. It is an ideal spot and is being takon advantage of by all who appreciate a nice, lieautiful pines to go to. C. Found a Cure for Dyspepsia. Mrs. S. Lindsay, of Fort William Ontaria, Canada, who has sufli-ivd quite a number of years from dyspr puis and great pains in the stomach, was advised by her druggist to take Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. She did so and says, "I find that they have done me a great deal of good. I have never bad any sutlering since 1 began using them." If troubled with dystonia or indigestion why net take these Tablets, get well and stay well? For sale by Williams Pharmacy.

D. Nlckulsen, formerly of this city, writes the following letter to Koswell Shelley, the (ilaoier's corres pondent from Odull: "I have noticed your articles in the Glacier from time to time in reference to starting a creamery in Hood Kiver. 1 am a property owner in Hood Kiver valley, and for this reason 1 am es pecially Interested. "1 am out here In Minnesota in a town where we have a creamory und I am of the conviction that a creamery In Hood Kiver would help Hood Kiver valley more than any other one Insti tution that could lie established there. It brings in outside money and dis tributes it so nicely among the farm ers and gives them a source of constant revenue. Hood Kiver Is an ideal place for a creamery. The one hero is run on the co-poerative plan. It Is owned by the patrons and is a flnanciul suc cess. The manager here is a practical butter maker and a splendid gentle man. I have been talking to hi in about Hood River with its opportuni ties and am sure he would come and undertake the work If he could get the oo-operation of the farmers there. You could never get a morn reliable and successful man to undertake it. His butter shipment today amounted to (KHJO.OO. Farmers here are getting as high as till net profit per oow per mouth. "A creamory would be worth a great doal more to Hood Kiver than a wool en mill or flour mill, because it con sumes and creates a demand for a strictly home product. "JNow, Mr. Shelley, 1 wish you could do something to consummate the plant. I should be glad to put you in correspondence with him, if you could be interested. It does not require a fortune to build a plant, and 1 am sure that many farmers would in terest themselves. I should be glad to bear from you in any event. 1 am a brother of j. K. Nlckelsen in Hood Kiver. I presume this will be refer ence guftlcient as to my Identity. A creamery in Hood Kiver cannot fail." Stocking the Fish Streams. Charles Waters, who was over from White Salmon Monday morning, says he is expecting 10,000 rainbow trout In a few days from the b.itcherv at Oregon City. These trout cauie orig inally from Leadville, Col. Mr. v.at era has arranged with the government Dsn oommissiou to place them in the Kattlesuake creek and several small lakes in the vicinity of Trout Lake in tue Mount Adams couutry. Mr. Waters has done much to re plentsh the streams of Klickitat coun ty with fish, aud when this lot will have been planted, it will make a total ot 40,000 trout which he has placed in the streams ami lakes of the state of Washington. Huge Task. It was a huge task to undertake the cure of such a bad rase or kidney (lis ease, as tbut of C. F. Collier, of (.'hero- kec, Ia.,but Klectrio lilt tern did it.
