HO0D1KIVER GLACIERTHURSDAY AUGUST 10, 1905. CITY TO PAY FULL REBATE believing tliey all should receive a square deal." tlie city council Won day ni(ht voted to return the former liquor dealer the full amount of li ceune rebate due them ou January 1. when the prohibition order went into fruect in Hood Hiver. P. K Fonts had been granted judg ment in the circuit court for if'iOti. This license had gone iuto effect last Juno, a month hofore the other three, ihe council at a previous meeting had allowed this amount in full, but had decided to give the other saloon nieu but ?250, figuring the rebate rrom tne time of actuul closing In February. C. K. Hayward was pres ent Monday night, and stated that wnue outers had aeked for six months interest on the rebate, he wanted only what was due him ou January 1, when the order of the county court made liis license null and void. "Of course we kept opeu after the closing order, but we paid a flue for that," remarked Mr. Hayward. "All 1 ask is what was due me when my license was revoked on January 1. You gave one man his rebate in full and 1 believe uiv money was as good then as when paid iuto the city a year ago. l don't ask for any interest. merely what was due me Jauuurv 1. " Councilman Mayes believed the city should pay Mr. Hayward what was rightfully due him. and the other men the same. McDonald was averse to granting a rebate on the month and seven days when the saloons were open, hut Mr. Mayes motion to pay the former liquor men their rebate in lull received a second from Mr. Moe, and was carried with no opposition. Early in the session a communica tion was read from Huntington & Wilson, attorneys for .'.award liurlin game, who asked for the f0 the city had received for sale of his horse taken up some time ago and sold from tho city pound. The attorneys point ed out glaring defects in the notice of sale as posted by the city marshal. and declared that Mr. liurlingame would bring suit against the city for the full value of the horse unless the $r0 were returned. Councilman McDonald was of the opinion that Burlingame knew where the hoi mi was, and that it was let out of a pasture near this city with the express purpose of making trouble for the town authorities. He moved, though, that a warrant be drawn to refund Mr, liurlingame tho amount received for sale of the horse. Mar shal Olinger stated that all costs in the matter bad been paid from his owu pocket A petition praying for the opening of Lincoln street was read by the re corder and passed upon by the coun cil. Lincoln street connects State street and Sherman avenue on the line of Winans addition and the plat of Hood Kive proper. Several outbuild ings on the Smith property extend into this street. The city council has several timos issued the order for their removal, but no attention has been paid to the matter by the prop erty holder, other than to say ho will bring suit for a retention of tho land. Monday night the marshal was once more instructed to inform the proper ty holder that tho buildings must be removed. If the order is not complied with, tin city mutt remove the ob structions and assess costs to Mr. Smith. City Surveyor John Lelaud Hender son was present at the meeting and explained that the survey for the plat of Winans addition and that of the original town site of the city of Hood liiver did not run parallel, which made an overlapping of the lots in the two additions 1'he Townsite Co. some time ago guvo up a row of lots on the east side of their line for use as a street. The same had been done in the Winans addition, and Mr. Hen derson believed tho city could legally remove tho obstructions in Lincoln street as prayed for in the petition. Councilman liailey, reporting for tho health committee, stated that Dr. Jenkins had complained of a cesspool on C street overflowing. Attorney Henderson hImi remarkod that a cess pool ou his property was alwaj 8 over flowing. He had dug several of them, but it was impossible to go far in the cement gravel which underlies the lauds of the city. The overflow from the kitchen sink now enters the drain in the street, says Mr. Henderson. He can't help this, but says be places lime in the ditch every few days to alleviate the evil odors. Attorney Heudreson added that the health of the city demanded that sewers bo con structed on the main streets of the city. To this Councilman McDonald re plied that he didn't know what the city could do with sewers without water. "The people don't seem to want the water," he added. There was one bid for the pest house property. This was from Mr. Tift ol Portland, who offered tf'iW. The prop erty C0ft SOUO, and the offer was re jected. This piece of proporty con sists of the dwelling house erected by John Huskirk and ten lots, 25x120. Claims against the city were audit ed by the linauce committee and or dered paid, as follows : Haynes & Co., hardware, $4.15; liradley, printing ballots, H; Glacier, printing ordinances and notices, $11; judgos and clerks of city election, $10; Oanger Jit Hartley, hauling gravel and six teams on Hre engine, $12. Present at the council meeting: Mayor lilowers, Recorder Nickelseu, Councilman liailey, Mayes, Moe and McDonald; Marshal dinger. Cuban Diarrhoea. U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that ordinary rem edies have little more piled than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is al most as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following cerliticate ft'imi Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chanilierlain's Colic, Cholera anrl Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Culm. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this reme dy cured him, as our neighbors will testify. I tliniik tiod for so valuable a medicine." For sale by Williams' l'harmucy. Heavy T radio on Southern Pacific. Junction City Times. The trains on the Southern Pacific are heavy and everj- one of the passenger trains passing through this city is crowded, the travel being principally in connection with the exposition. All the passenger conductors have helpers, train agents assisting in handling the tickets and caring for the passengers. These train agents to a great extent are pass enger brakemen who have been pro moted to this work, while some of them are former passenger conductors who have been oft duty for some time. All the day trains, even the Eugene local now have these train agents and they tind enough to do. Most of the trains now run with two engines and often they are compelled to run in two or more sections to accommodate the heavy tratlic. Lightning Strikes Near Dufur. Hood River people will remember the beautiful electrical display Sun day night a week ago, when sheets of uKutoiug uHoceu ou i ne urn tops east, of the valley. While there was no rain here, and only occasionally slight peals of thunder, at Dufur there was a heavy storm, of which the Dispatch oi ttiat city gives the following ac count: ( n fill it4 utr Avan rttt 1 a at a, iTnMn accompanied with much thunder and lightning, passed over Dufur. Mrs. Woods' bouse was struck by the light ning, and auite a Quantity of rain fell. There was quite a scare among our inhabitants as the electric display was altogether vivid and unusual. No one was hurt, and the house but slightly damaged. The electrio cur rent set tire to the house. A fire alarm was sounded and onr firemen t . . 1 .-;..,. j learned that there were several things for them to think of when called out in the dark and the rain. The com pan? managed to find two lanterns. but had a great deal of trouble to open aud light them. We hear that Mrs. Woods put the fire out with a bucket or two of water. Elks Plan My Day at the Fair. Special to the Glacier. Portland. Aug. 8. -Elks of high and Jow degree will assemble by the thous ands in Portland ou Wednesday, Au gust 10, which has been designated as Elk s day at the Lewis and Clark ex position. The gathering promises to be the biggest herding together of the tribe ever accomplished in the Aortn west, and local Elks are making elab orate preparations for the reception or the visitors.

Other details are not yet completed, but a commit tee headed by Major Charles E. Mo Donanell, of the Lewis and Clark cen tennial guard, exalted ruler of the local herd, has the arrangements iu charge. The committee has prepared a poster telling or the coming celebration. which declares that the Elks, both tame and wild, "will be protected to the limit, and they will be permitted to roam at will iu the grassy pastures or the peninsula, or on the rocky neights or the mainland. Rushing the Grain Harvest. This week's crop Bulletin for Ore gon says : The week, like the two preceding ones, was warm and dry. These con ditions were excellent for harvesting grain, and this work was pushed along with unusual rapidity, rail wheat and barley yields continue good, both in quantity aud quality, but spring wheat is not coming up to expecta tions, especially in the Williamette valley, where rust and the aphides wore so plentiful earlier in the season. The straw of spring wheat aud oats was heavy aud the heads, as a rule, of average size, but the berry in many cases is shriveled, which accounts for the shortiige. Pasturugo is very shoit in the val leys, but it continues fairly good in the mountain ranges, aud stock keeps it uuusually good condition. All streams are falling and the water sup ply for irrigation is getting scarce. Sugar beets, Held onions aud early potatoes are making good advance ment, but late potatoes are at a stand still aud ueed rain badly. Corn is extra good. Hops show imrovemeut and tho lice have nearly all disap peared, but growers generally expect yields below the averge, and also a re turn of lice with the advent of favor able weather for their propagation. 1'iHrly apples are small aud the yields are below the average. Peaches are being marketed and the crop is better than expected. The dry weather is causing prunes and plums to drop more than usual at this season of the year. Meets In Portland, Aug. 16-1.

BIG TOMATO CROP AT WHITE SALMON By a Staff Correspondent. WhiU Salmon, Wash., Aug. 9. -The tomato crop this year will be the larg est in the history of the valley. Last year It waa a record breaker, but this year will eclipse auy yield ever pro duced here. S. C. Ziegler, who has about one acre, will market over 40 tons. The price has held up flue. Adams fc Brenneman wl J be about the largest shippers. They have been marketing over one hundred crates per day. William Rankin on the War ner farm and Mr. Henderson have been heavy shippers a has also Cole man & Moore on the Byrkett farm. The harvest this year will last about two mouths in some of the patohes. It could be made to last longer, but the price at the end of the market would be small, making it impossible for the shippers and growers at this point to compete with the home mar ket, owing to the transportation rates. with big berry crop atd a mam moth tomato crop iu the valley, it is no wonder that the ranchers do not want any road to pass along destroy ing the valuable tracts. Said Mr. Ziegler: "This railroad talk really does give me a great deal of concern, and I would like to see it held off for at least two years; then they can have the ranch and I will go in the apple growing business." E, L. C. That Hood River Spirit. The Heppner Gazette oopleg the Portland Journal's editorian on the Hood River berry crop and then adds: Good for Hood River. Such reports are gratifying to the people of the whole state of Oregon. The fact that Hood River has sold $200, 000 worth of strawberries and will have a good ap ple crop will be known all over the country, and why? Simply because the people there are enterprising aud proud of their productive valley aud are lettiug the outside world know all about it. The couseqeuces are that the Hood River valley is becoming thickly populated and the town of Hood River is growing and prosper ous. The Hood River spirit comes out with an interesting story. They pin it on the lapels of their coats. They put it on banners. They placard every oar that leaves the town. They get In the newspapers. The people pull together. tiler enterprise aud the publicity that they give to their prosperity impresses the stranger. A little comparason might make Heppner people think a little. The Hood River valley today probably has as much population as the eutire county of Morrow. Ihe town of Hood River has at least oue-thiid popula tion greater than Heppner. Heppner this season has shipped oat and sold 9500.000 worth of wool. Who saw a single car plaoarded telling any thing about it? On the long trip east how many people knew anything about these cars? Heppner wocl brought $.'100,000 more than Hood River strawberries and wool money is just as good as strawberry money. We shipped 17i.000 woith of sheep. How many beard about this, not to say anything about our horses aud cattle which run into the thousands? Then we have the advantage of a double shot, the same as Hood River. Wnue Hood Kiver is marketing her big apple orop this fall we will lie sell ing a wheat crop that will make the fruit value insignificant ludeed. How will Hood Kiver s bank depos its if the town is larger, compare with Heppner. Heppner has two strong banks. The last sworn statement of the First National showed deposits of almost $700,000. We need a color bearer. We ought to be proud of our town. This would make other people proud of us. What is the matter with Heppner anyway?

Small Crop, Hut Excellent (JmlltT W. C. Michael, a fruit and produce commission broker of New York, while at Boise, Idaho, said to a news- fiapei representative: "I am just Hu shing an extended trip over the fruit I n - r v.- ...... i i , w, vvu.j, California, Oregon, Washiutgon, and Idaho. In each of these states I found pretty much the same conditions pre vailinga light crop, but of extra good quality. ' The unusual spring served to no tify orchardists that the crop was to be short, and the raisers have taken more than ordinary care of what is being produced, seems to be the most reasonable explanation," be contin ued. "While the crop in Idaho is much below the average, my judgement is that the raisers will receive more money than for a number of years, on account of the high prices that will be obtained. Conditions resem ble those of 1897, when a record for top prices was made that is apt to be broken before the close of this sea son. "This condition is always a satis factory one, for the raisers and deal ers, because a constantly strengthened market means a ready sale of every thing shipped, at prioes equal to or in excess or expectations." Just What Everyone Should Do. Mr. J. T. Barber of Irwinville. Ga.. always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera aud Diarrhoea Remedy at hand ready for Instant use. At tacks of colic, cholera morbus and diar rhoea come ou so suddenly that there is no time to bunt a doctor or go to the store for mediciue. Mr. Barber says: "I have tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which is one or tne uest remedies 1 ever saw. I keep a bottle of it in mv room as I have bad several attacks of colic and it has proved to be the best medicine I ever used." Sold by Williams' Phar macy. A Portage Boad, But no Boats. Moro Observer. At the risk of being run out of busi ness the Pendleton Tribune inquires, "How much more will the f aimers get for tbeir wheat this year because the portage road is in operation? Will the freight rates be reduced? will there be boats on the river to carry the wheat to tide water? Wheat should be worth five cents a bushel more but will it?" Immediate results cannot be expected but the time for carrying wheat to market is almost here and reduction in freight rates should be demanded or means taken to secure lower rates through the water way.
