H00D7RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY AUGUST 24, 1905. SCHOOL WILL OPEN SEPT. 4 Tbe Hood River publio schools will open Monday, September 1, with tbe following corps of teacners: UiA. Wiley, city superintendent; C.Crouse, priucinal hicb school ; V. L. Everett, prinripul of the Dew building on tbe bill; Mies Ida Wright, Miss Vara Ste wait. Miss Martha liovterman, Mrs. O. M (Jove, Migg Lula-Hicks, Miss (Jai rie (Jopple, Mrs. Kate Koche, Alias llilou l)eitz,Miss Alta Poole and Miss Mi ry Mathews, 'lhe two room addition whiob great ly improves the outside appearance as well as tbe inside convenience of the Park street building will be com pleted by opeuing day. Two heavy coats of paint without aud a coat of varnish witbin, give this building tbe appearanoe of being new throughout All children living on tbe bill, or in the country on tbe west side of the river and belonging in grades below the 8tb, will go to the new buildiag on tbe bill. Urades from tbe 3rd to the 11th inclusive will be taught Id the Park street building, and grades nrst aud second in tbe State street building as usual. A teachers' meeting will be held at I p. m., Saturday, September 2, In the high school rooms,for the assign ment of teachers aud arrangement of work in geueral. "It is very important for every pu pil to enter sobool on opening day" says Superintendent Wiley. "Chart pupils must enter not later than the third week of school, as the class will tie too far advanced for beginners af ter that date, and new classes can not then be formed. It is equally impor tant that 9th aud 11th grade pupils start with the class, as new text books will be used in these classes and tbe whole subject matter being new, to miss much of tbe tirst month's work nearly always means hard, discour aging work and poor results." School Room Needs Good Light. Hood Kiver, Or., Aug. 22. Editor Ulucier: I have been trying to im press the members of the school board with the importance of better light in the Park street school, but a sentimental regard for the trees on tbe part of some blinds them to the more, far more important matter of eye strain in the pupils. I have been informed that the publio was op posed, aud tbe school board was dis inclined to go against tbe wishes of tbe public in the matter of' cutting down trees, but I am sure if tbe good of the children was brought to their attention, any right thinking person would say, sacrifice the trees, not the children. It occurred to me that if the Glacier would take up the matter, its influ ence would be greater than any other towards cutting down the trees and letting the children have light, sun shine and air during the loug, cloudy winter. Very truly, Mrs. J. F. llatcbelder. BARRETT. We hare Ijeen called upon to tie tbe matrimonial not; we have also offici ated at tbe baptisimal services, but to day, Monday, we were called, to per form the last rights aud ceremonies over one of the belongings of Ma In galls. What do you think it was? A Jersey calf. . Miss Grace Woodman returned home on Saturday from The Dalles, after a two weeks visit with sisters. Of oeurse Ma was glad to see tbe little tot again. Frank Gibbons of Walla Walla is now visiting at the home of bis father at the white houeo, corner of Hock ford aud Clark street. Fred Miller is a very busy man now days hauling hay. Fred is quite a workman and does tbe work in good shape. Theory is,"wby is work so scarce." Why, do you not know that most everybody is going to the fair at Portland. Then the merchants in town cry out business is very quiet. Of course it will be so, because a man can only spend his money once aud Portland will surely get her share and naturally other little towns will surfer. So jus contend time and credit. Colonel Hartley's teams were haul ing hay from the Rockford district last week. Colonel says be likes good hay and we feel sure in saying that Rockford sold him good bay, in fact there is nope better. ""Mr. Eiiur-iou has been busy the last week bauiig fire wood from tbe J. Holme ranch. Nothing like good wood for tbe ladies to bake wjth. Then got wood from Rpckfprd, it; has (ho best. Roily Pbejps says hp ipteuds to have more berries sp be is busy breaking pp some now ground. Good for ypu Roily. Mrs, T, Goss is a very sick woman W. Nicholis was delivering bailed bay to Rockford store last week. " Mr. and Mrs. Roswell Shelley of the Little White Store were visiting at tbe home of F. C. Sherrieb on Thursday last, aud made a call at Rockford. Mrs. E. Rrayford has been sick for the lust weok wit'n a serious attack of congestion of tbe lungs. She is now improving fast. UNDERWOOD. Our assistant post master returned to bis home at the Locks Saturday night. A good many of our people were in White Salmon Monday on business. A Hood River physician was called to visit Mrs. Charlie Walters and children this week. Corbet Underwood caa e in Sunday nigbt with a pack horse laded with huckleberries. Notices are up, calling a meeting for the purse of building a new school house. Jack Lucky of Hood River as over Monday to do some horse shoeing for A. J. Haynes and H. C. DeBo. Mr. Smith and friend spent few days fishing on the little White Salmon last week. Fred and Ericson Luthy are spend ing tbe week on Huckleberry moun tain. Jimmy DeBorde and wife and friends of Hood River passed through here Sunday on their way to Little White Salmon to spend their vacation. Miss Rosa Luthy celebrated her thirteenth birthday Tuesday with a small party of her girl friends. Ed. Underwood is having a rather serious time, having stubbed bis toe and broken bis foot. It is feared blood poison has set in. George Knapp and grandson. Philip Fiuley, have returned from Portland, after visiting the fair for a week. Mr. Kellendonk is improving fast from his late illnesss. Thej Appeal to Our Sympathies. Tbe bilious and dyspeptic are con stant sufferers andipeal to our sym pathies.

The Climate and Crop Bulletin for August 22, says: Light showers occurred during the fore pait of the week in the lower portion of tbe Willamette valley and in tbe nortbern coast counties, rjse- where throughout the state dry weath er prevailed. The temperature in western Oregon averaged about nor mal, wbile the weather east of tbe Cascades was slightly cooler tban usual, especially at night. Tbe rain somewhat revived vegeta tion, but as a whole the amounts were too small to do much good, and gar dens, corn, potatoes and pastures are guttering lor want of moisture. Grain is about all cut and in the stack. Thrashing continues in all sections. The yields in the Willam but in the Columbia and the Grand Ronde valleys the returns are very gratifying. Hops are making season al progress, aud where spraying was thoroughly done tbe lice have about disappeared. Corn is earing and till ing nicely and a good crop is indicat ed. Stock continues to lose flesh. Plums aud some varieties of prunes are ripe and being gathered. The yield of most fruits will fall below the average, both in quantity and size. Apples and pears are small and dropping more tban usual. reaches are plentiful and of good flavor. Prunes Good Crop in Wasco County, The report to the effect that the Ore gon prune crop this year will be one third the normal yield may apply to Willamette Valley orchards, but it does not apply to Wasco county. None of the lending prune growers at The Dalles estimate their crop at less tban 75 per cent of the average, and some say their orchards will yield fully SH) per cent ot a normal crop. Prunes are now ripening. Picking has practically begun. The fruit is average in qnality, and buyers are offering from $15 to $17 a ton. The bulk of the crop will be sold to driers, The driers are prepared to handle the entire crop,though some growers believe they can realize better prices by-thip- plng hast than are ottered by the driers. consequently some 40 or 50 cars will be shipped fresh to Eastern markets. Apples Scarce and a Uood Price. There is now a scarcity of good apples in the local market says the Portland Journal. Receipts at present are of very good quality, but the volume ol arrivals is not heavy enough for the demand. Some very choice four-tier UravenBteins from California were shown todav and sold readily around $1.75 per box. Hood Kiver is sending some fancy stocks to market, but most of tbe arrivals are from Willamette valley or eastern Oregon points. Busy Life In a Big City. According to tbe Ohio State Journ al, there is "something doing" in Chicago. The Journal says that a Chicago newspaper publisbes tbe fol lowing interesting catalogue of events transpiring in the city by tbe lake: A deatb every fifteen minutes. A birth every eight minutes and twenty-seven seconds. A murdor every seventy hours. A suicide every eighteen bouis. A serious aocideut, necessitating nurse's or physician's care, every four minutes. A fatal accident every five hours. A case of assault and battery every twentysix minutes. A burglary every three hours. A hold-up every six hours. A disturbance of the peaoe. to at tract attention, every six seconds. A larceny every twenty minutes. An arrest every seven minutes and thirty seconds. A nre every bour. An arrest for drunkeuess every fifteen minutes. A marriage every twenty minutes. A tase foi the coroner every three hours. A new building completed every one hour and fifteen minutes. A railroad passenger train arrives every fiftysix seconds. Sixty passengers, suburban and through, arrive every second at rail way stations. Seventeen thousand gallons of water a mjnute pass through the 1,906 miles of city water maiiis. litest Show on the Trail, One of the meritorious attractions on the Trail, at the Lewis and Clark fair, is Prof. W. H. (lames' Diving I'jtik nut. 1119 vwiijc Ifil V'nuou UMI BO, Trixle. Xbotrainod elk dive from an elevation of about 50 feet into a tank of water, aud seem to enjoy the performance. The most wonderful part of tbe show, however, is tbe exhibition given by Prof. Barnes with what is proba bly the most intelligent and best trained horse in the world. "Trixle" seems possessed of tbe intelligence of a human being, aud appears to under stand every word spoken to her by her master. She does nearly everything but tulk, but gives her answers in sign language, nsiug blocks upon which letters and figures are painted, pick ing them up wild nor toetn to spell out words, or to give the answers to questions. Irixte will, by tne aid of tbe blocks. tell the correct time of day, spell words of tbree letters, add up num bers, and do many wonderful tblugs. She will make change from a cash reg ister, pick out colors to correspond with the colors of ladies' dresses oi bat in tbe audience, play tunes on the chimes, and performs a hundred other feats equally as wonderful, i be ex hibition is well worth going to see. and Is one of tbe thiugs at tbe fair which should not be missed. The Good Old Way. A severe cold or attack of la grippe is like a Are, the sooner you combat it the better your chances are to overpower it. But few mothers in this age are will ing to do the necessary work required to give a good old-fashioned reliable treatment such as would be ministered liv their grandmothers, backed by Bos- chee's German Syrup, which was al ways liberally used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor thau any known remedy. But even without tbe application of tbe old-fashioned aids German Syrup will cure a severe cold in quick time. It will cure colds in children or grown people. It relieves the congested organs, allays tbe irrita tion, and effectively stops the cough. Any child will take it. It is invalua ble in a household of children.

Aug. 23. With only seven patrons of tne cream route, each week's shipment amounts to about 129. Tbe cows are not many, and none of the best, and those in the business have bad very little expert ence, yet they are making money. "To me it seems a verv good show ing," said W. S. Oribble. "Now with a little experience, a good grade of cows Droperlv fed and attended to in a oouutry like this where feed is cheap, it will mean something to tbe diligent person wltn a utue land ana a few cows to give his whole attention to the dairy business. "Keep your eye on tbe people who are taking stock in the cream indus try, and watch them when they get their checks ence a mouth. See if you don't think it pays. Why, it is as good as a pension to tne old sol diers, and just as certain." The Mount Hood Development League will hold its regular meeting at the ball on Saturday afternoon of this week. Mrs. T. H. Larwood re'urned from Portland Monday with her little daughter, Helen, who has beeu under going a series of treatments for deaf ness caueed by scarlet fever. Mr. Shelley wrote a beautiful de scription of the home of our friends, along the stage road, in last week's issue. If Mr. Shelley could have tak en time and written a like descrip tion of our whole neighborhood, it would have given the public a good idea of tbe commercial importance of our community. However, we are thankful for small favors and ask Mr. Shelley to call again. George Wisbart, Henry Tomliuson and family aud Mrs. J. II. Thomas are among those who are attending the Lewis and Clark fair this week. Lewis Burkbart spent a few days at Masier or The Dalles last week. We predict that be will come home with a house-keeper for bis flue ranch at the "Lava Beds" some of these days. Good Neighbor and Loving: Husband. Mount Hood, Or., Aug. 211. Edit or Glacier : Robert MoKamey, whose death occurred at his home here last Wednesday, August 18, was born in Arkansas, 45 years ago. He came to Oreogu with his parents about thirty years ago and settled in southern Ore gon. A few years later he moved to The Dalles aud settled on Three Mile creek, where he lived until 14 years ago, when be came here and took up land, on which he has resided ever since. Mr. MoKamey hardly knew what it was to have an enemy. He was a member of Idlewilde lodge, I. O. O. F. of Hood River, also a member of Elen Encampment No. 48, I. O. O. F. of Hood River. The fuueral Fri day was attended by a large concourse of friends, and was conducted by tbe mebmers of Idlweilde lodge and Kemp lodgo, I. O. O. F. of Hood River aud Odell lodge. Mr. MoKamey was married about a year ago in Southern Oregon, and lieisdes his wife and an Infant son, he leaves three sisters and two brothers, all married except his youngest brother, llobert. Albert MoKamey was a good neigh bor aud a loving husband. We regretted to see it stated that tbe unfortunate man took his own life because of financial worry. On Inquiry we learn tbat be was i tract l caliy on easy street, aud had no cause to woiry on tbat acooun . By a Friend. Corrects a Wrong Impression. Friends of the Ries family at Mount Hood desire to correct the impression that Frank Reis ever made threats against the person of.A. G. MoKamey, the innominate man who took Ins own ife in that community last week. Thev firmly believe Mr. Ries innocent of the crime with which be is charged, and re gret that any statements would be made tending to give the public a biased im pression concerning the charges held against him. Not Counted With the Original. Whetbei this story is acturally true or not, it serves as a text for an inter esting discourse by The Nation Writ er. He says that it is clear tbat there la no use trying to make people eat auythiug that does not conform to Sheir ideas of what viauds should be. v (e adds: "A government pbampblet on 'Consuniers' Fancies,' emanating frpm tbe omniscient department of agriculture, aud credited to George K. Holmes, chief of tbe division of foreign markets in tbe bureau of sta tistics, eloquently enforces this les son. Here are rapidly run over most of the commoner whims relating to the appearance of articles for the table. lbuB, brown eggs sell for a higher price than pure white ones in Boston, while New lork and Sun Francisco prefer tbe white; butter colored to suit Chicago's taste would bo too pale for that of Washington. aud not nearly dark enough for New Orleans. And, iu a long list of the most familiar articles, the consumer demauds a color or appearance which, not only is uo indication of quality, but is actually absent in tbe pure natural product. Catsup made from tomatoes is not a vivid red, and must be made so, in very many cases, by dveing. Cider as it drins from the fhodein mill is almost colorless, but the buyer, remembering that the old time cider and vinegar were brown, demauds that tbe new wear the same color. The maker meets the demand with caramel. Whisky is iu a similar case. As it comes from the still it is white, aud the darker color results only after it has been stored in a charred barrel. This tone can be giv en to white or underoolored whiskey by means or burnt sngar. Prunes are dipped in giyceriue aud logwood, wal nuts bleached with sulphite, because people believe they ought to look as nature never intended they should. Obviously, tbe refusal of the public to buy the 'real thing' just as it comes Is the greatest imaginable incentive to adulteration and fraud." Take Notice. Owing to the numerous reports of nuisancei around tbe Light and Water Co's springs having been circulated during the present water agitation, a watchman lias been employed to guard the property ; a tight fence 9 feet high has been built, and the public is hereby notified that any attempts at trespass ing on the property of the company in the vicinitv of the unrlnun will lw nron. ecu ted without any discrimination.
