HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1005. HOW WALDO PASSED CONTRABAND QUININE Members of Cauby Poet who (ailed to attend the meeting Saturday missed a very enjoyable time. There was a good attendance. In the ab sence of Commander Phelps, Junior Vice Commauder Buck filled the chair. He not only rilled the chaii, litnrullv speaking, Iiut presided with great dignity. M. F. Jacobs was pres- ut. He came all the way from Port land to attend this meeting and help to arouse euthusifism among the com rides to get them to go to Portand on J I odd Kiver (In y at the exposition. A goodly number of the comrades of Canby Post will h' lp to swell the Hood River crowd on that day. A brother of Comrade Kigby was a vis itor. This brother nerved in an Iowa regiment throughout the wai. The writer learned at this meeting that the Rigby family sent nine brothers to the war. After the routine work of the Post was concluded, Comrades Stranaban and Blowers gave reports of their ex perience ut the National Encampment at Denver. Both comiades had met at Denver mea bers of their old regi ments and companies whom they had not seen for 40 years, and it can be imagined what an enjoyable time they had. The recital of their experience made every comrade present wish be had been there. Reminiscenses of war times were then indulged in, and some good storios were told. Comrade Waldo told one of the best, and, begging Waldo's pardon, the writer cannot refrain from reporting it, though he cant' hope to tell it so good as it CBme from the lips of Waldo. In the days before the war, when Waldo was a little boy, a maiden aunt went to Mississippi, where she was engaged as governess in the family of a prominent physician. After years of service in the hospitable Southern lamily, when the war came this gov erness from the North espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and was loyal to her Southern friends. A daughter of this Confederate physician managed to (jet a pass for herself and governess to enter the Union lines at Memphis. When they returned home, or to the Confederate lines, it was necessary for the picket guards to closely search them for contraband of war. Waldo was on picket duty that day, and as the two women passed out, he with others of the reserve was called upon to do the searching. Waldo, in a spirit of fun, after he bad searched the younger woman, beoame too bold in his work and caressed the elder one n a manner a little too en dearing, which caused the governess to show fight, and she knocked young Waldo down. The ladies were allowed to puss the lines and Waldo hoped to live to forget the incident. After the war ended the governess visited her old home in the North. She bad an interesting narrative to relate of her experience during war times, and while Waldo was present, related how she knocked out the impudent young Yankee soldier when she smuggled through the Union lines at Memphis enough quinine sewed up in the lin ing of her dress to supply a regiment al medicine chest. Waldo kept mum during the recital of the story In which he took so prominent part, but l iter acknowledged to his aunt that he was the impudent soldier and was forgiven. At i o'clock the ladies of the Relief Corps served a lunch of pork and beans, cake, cotfee ard fruit, and the members of the Post accepted an in vitation to join them. The Relief Corps is flourishing. Six new mem bers were admitted at the meeting Saturday. Entrerly Reads Glacier Railroad News. The Glacier's exclusive railroad ar ticles concerning railroad develop ments down the north bank of the Coloumbia during the past summer have been read with interest by people in the East, where the Glacier has an extensive circulation. C. S. Smith, who holds a position in the machin ery department of the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railroad Co., at Minneapo lis, writes as follows: "I have taken a great deal of inter est in reading your paper each week, especially interesting is the railroad down the north bank of the Columbia, as we get statements from the heads of -the two northern trans-continental lines in our dailies here, and also re ports of actual proceedings through the Glacier. 1 thought possilily you would be interested in a clipping taken from the Minneapolis Journal of last evening, which is purported to come from the headquarters in the 'lesser twin'. Doubtless you know all this by this time. - ('I am very much interested in your Country, and am of the opinion that it has a great future, my only regret is that I am so situated that 1 cannot make a change at present, as were 1 free to do so, I believe Hood River or White Salmon otter as great iml ice nionts as any looality."

McCOY IS CRUSHED BETWEEN SAW LOGS John C. McCoy, member of the Mo Coy St, Thomas sawmill company of White Salmon, met the awful death of being crushed by a sawlog at noon, Mond.iy. McCoy was alone at the time, and it is believed that bad some one been near when the accident occurred his life could have been saved. The man wag smothered to death rather than crushed, there being no bones broken in bis body. The log lay upon him in such a manner that bis breath was knocked from him, and it was Impossible for him to breathe. His pipe was still in his mouth when he was found by other workmen. The accident occurred about half past twelve. McCoy was well known i in Hood River and Portland. He served for 12 years as an engineer on the O. R. & N: railroad. He was un married. Mrs. M. A. Jones of this city and Mrs. Milton Udell of the East Side are sisters of McCoy. His brother Elmer is In the East somewhere, and has not yet been looated by Dr. Jones, who has been telegraphing for him. Funeral services were to have been conducted at White Salmon yesterday afternoon, provided Mr. and Mrs. Odell, who were attending the rxpo sitiou in Portland at the time, can be located. H. E. Tan Neman Visits Here. Professor II. E. Van Deman, the eminent horticulturist who has been secured by the management of the Lewis and Clark exposition as judge of the fruit display, spent several days in Hood River last week. While here he was taken for a drive through the orchards of the valley by E. L. Smith, president of the state board of horti culture. The well kept apple orchards of Hood Rlvei were a revelation to the Easterner. He considers Hood Kiver has very few rivals in the line of fruit culture, and was enthusiastic in his E raise of the oare which orchardists ere give to their trees. Saturday Professor Van Deman and Mr. Smith spent the day at Mosier. The professor was well acquainted with the father of A. P. Batebam In Ohio years ago, and was particularly anxious to meet the proprietor of the East Hood River Fruit Co., but the latter happened to be out of town that day, consequently there is a mu tual disappointment. Professor Van Deman considers that Mr. Batebam has a splendid fruit farm. Sunday, the professor accompanied W. M. Stewart, Dr. W. F. Laraway and Dr. Jenkins on a fishing expedi tion to the west fork. Professor Van Deman went from here to New Westminster, B. C, where he has been secured to ''act as judge of the fruit display of the Royal Agricultural society this week. Mr, Smith bad been asked to do this work, but be at once declined and asked that Mr. Van Deman be secured in his stead. DeWItt-Baker. A very pretty wedding occurred last Sunday at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Baker, corner State street and Park avenue, when their daughter Miss Pansy was married to Mr. Harry DeWitt. Rev. W. C. Gil more of Riverside Congregational church otBoiated, and the impressive ring service was pronounced. Owing to the illness of Mrs. Baker, very few friends were prosent. The parlors were prettily decorated with asters and Oregon grape, and the bride was daintily attired in a silk shirtwaist traveling suit. The cere mony was pronounced shortly after 1 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt leaving on the alfternoon train for their new home at Inglis, where Mr. DeWitt holds a responsible position with the Oregon Lumber Co. Luncheon was sorved after the wed ding. Mr. and Mrs. George Boniue of Clay Center, Kans. , cousins of the bride, reached Hood River on a de layed train Sunday afternoon, and were very much disappointed ou not getting here in time for the wedding. Among the pretty presents were a set of silverknlves and forks from the Oregon Lumber Co., a beautiful piee of cut glass from Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Early, and a set of tea spoons from the girls in the central office of the Telephone Co. Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt will begin at once keeping house in a neat little borne which Mr. DeWitt had already provided for his bride. Temperance Worker Elect (jHlcers. At the meeting of the W. C, T. U. last Tuesday afternoon a very interest ing business session was held. It be ing the last meeting before the state convention, an annual report from the officers and superintendents ot the different departments of work was given. The work of the W. C. T. U. being formatory rather than reforma ts y, these reports gave proof that the superintendents bad all done a good work during the year in their differ ent lines of work. Five new depart ments of work were added, that of scientific temperance instruction, Sunday school temperance work, fran chises, mothers' meeting!. The following officers were elected for the eusuing year: President, Mrs. E. Wiuaus; recording secretary, Mrs. D. J. Trieberj corresponding secre tary, Mrs. Deitz; treasurer, Mrs. C. T. Robard.

Many Iu'iilrl g About the Northwest, Last week the Glacier published in full tt.e splendid article on Hood Kiv er prepared by James M. Irvine, man aging editor of the Fruit Grower ot St. Joseph, Mo. TI ut the article has alrtady been productive ot mucn good for hood River, can be noted from the following letter from Mr. Ir vine: "We thank you very much for your compliments ou our September num ber. .We have never published any matter which created the interest which this has, and within the last week I have personally talked with a number of persons wbo are contem plating going to the Northwest. It seems to me that the Commercial clubs aud real estate men in your country could very profitably do some effec tive advertising for tettleis at this time." Bartniettg Oft, rs a "Veil." S. E.
