DRAGGED 200 FEET
BY MOVING TRAIN
The crew of a westbound extra
freight train which was pulling out of
Mosior Tuesday morning noticed a
man lying beside the O. K. & N. traok
just went of the station. The train
wad stopped and invetitiuatlou devel
oped the feet that he wag very badly
injured, mid as there is no doctor at
Moitier he wag bronulit to this city
and laid on the floor of the railroad
station pending the arrival of the
coiiicany'a physician. Dr. Watt.
On examination it was found that
the ribs on the rinbt si 'e f the man's
body were broken and that he had
sustained other internal Injuries. In
answer to questions by C'haa. Dano
he Baid that his name was JeBse Her-
them and that he lived three miles
from Cbenuwith, where he owned
ranch adjoining that f Joseph Hanna.
but had been working reoently for
Harry Gilbert at Three Mile Creek,
Washington, llerthman wag in great
pain and it was with difficulty that
he talked.
By this time Dr. Watt who wag at
tending him, returned with bandages
and materials for dressing the man's
injuries and he was made to rest
easier. When train No. 1 arrived he
was taken to The Dalles by County
Commissioner Hubbard and sent to
the hospital.
One of the train bands who remain-
rd here to look after him said that he
must have been dragged 200 feet for the
ground between the tracks where he
was picked up was torn up for that
distance. It is thought that be got
on the train at The Dalles to go to
Homo point on the line and that be was
attempting to beat his way by riding
on the rear trucks, as it is impossible
to account for the marks in the cen
ter of the track in any other way.
northern was unable to make any
lucid statement as to how he came to
be on the train except that he thought
he go on at I he Dalles.
lie had no ticket or hat check, and
no money, nu i for this reason it is
thought that he was trying to beat
his way.
Aewnpaper! In the Schools.
The ovement to make 'the reading
of newspapers a part of the regualr
studies in the publio schools of Cin
cinnati is strongly indorsed by Super
intendent Dyer of that city. In
fpeaking on the subject he said, how
ever, that a wise selection would have
to be made, and in this as well as in
his general advocacy of the so ho me
be is right. There are newspapers
and and newspapers, and in the best
of the new papers there are subjects
whicti it may not be desirable to in
troduce, in the schools.
Dr. Dyer c'oea not share in the
wholesale criticism that is indulged
in by some persons beouse newspapers
print accounts of murders, prize
lights, divorce cases and such things,
He rocognizes that a newspaper is a
commercial enterprise and as such,
to a large extent, must furnish its
customers v ith what they want. But
lie thinks it might be possible to write
up the account of a prize right in such
a fashion that while retaining an en
tertain stvle. it would be free of seu-
sationalism. This would probably be
a more ditiicult mutter than be aim
cipatos. The descriptive style which
those most interested in boxing oon-
tets want to see would scarcely be
i ppropriate for a publio eohool lesson,
though there is nothing really- offen
sive in its wording.
But these features constitute a very
small part of the daily newspaper, and
the really important news will materi
ally nolo in promoting the general ed
ucation, of the pupils. There is no
better modem history than the daily
paper. Spokesman-Repview.

Editor Glacier: I guess I will have

The summaries of the assessment
rolls recently completed by Asses or
Stog.dill for 1005 show a startling in
crease in the valuation of taxable
property in Wasco county. In 1904
the number of acres of tillable land
was 110.1C5; in 1905 it was 132,143,
Its valuation in 1904 was 1786,830,
which in 11K6 had increased to 11,305,.

ing. In addition Wasco is one of the
few counties in tbe state that ia out

AN INEXPENSIVE AND
USEFUL TREE PROP
Fember 13. Editor Glacier: Muoh
has been written from time to time
about the proper care of fruit tree.
especially of heavy laden apple trees.
We have all seen many clumsy devices
intended to serve as propa for tbe
protection of the over burdened
branches of a prolific tree, such at
forked sticks, patched up pieces of
board aud tbe like, all of which are
but troublesome makeshifts.
After considerable experimenting I
have evolved and have bad in aotual
use tot more than two years what I
HlkltaiTA fA V.A t Via otmnlaiit muf nM.
tioal and altogether satisfactory tree
prop ever made in Hood River valley.
For tbe benefit of tbe grower in
general I submit the directions for
making the prop, which I have chris
tened the ''Eggermont Tfee Prop."
Any one can very readily and at very
little expense supply himself with
this very easily made, quickly adjust
ed and most convenient form of one
of the moat necessary applicants of a
well kept orchard :
From any lumbei mill (pt stock two
inches wide, by about one inob and
one-ball thick, and sawed Into six.
eight and ten foot lengths, in order
to have varying heights of props.
From one end of each, at an angle of
45 degrees, saw a piece three Inches
long for the sliding shoe. ' Place the
shoe on the side of tbe longer piece
and fasten with baling wire just tight
enough to hold the shoe firmly against
and parallel with the upright and at
the neoessary height, but slack enough
to admit of turning the beveled face
or tbe shoe toward tbe prop and slid
ing it up or down as may be neces
gary, returning it to its parallel post
tion when- adjusted. Tbe wire may
be fastened to the back of the shoe
with a nail or by passing it through
a hole in the Bhoe.
Any bright boy could quickly com
prebend tbe principle and easily make
this simple appliance, and any arc hi
tect could in a. very short time make
for himself a liberal supply for next
season's yield which we all nope may
be so abundaut as to need a most gen
erous support. HENRY AVERY.'
Prlie Pear Trees..
Next year, even if be Is busy, Wm,
Soheble, who owns the old D. B. Sol
iss farm, on Griffin creek, will think
twice before be sells tbe poduct of
the two big Beurre d'Anjou trees,
which stand m nls door yard, tor any
tnmg like Ju, it they give pomise
ol repeating tbe crops or tbe past two
years, tiast year Mr. Hohebie picked
thirty-two boxes of pears from one tree
tbe largest one and dldnt oount
what came from the other tree. This
year both trees were as heavily laden
as before, but at the time the pears
were ready to be picked Mr. Soheble
was busy with other farm work and
didn't have timi to piok them. One
day S. W. Boyd came long and offered
$30 for the pears on the trees. "Take
them, " said the owner. In spite of
the fact that one of the largest limbs
broke ott ruining at least twelve box
es of pears, Mr. Boyd gathered 43
boxes from the two trees and when
sold he realized a net profit over all
of $82.74. That limb which broke off
wag one of tbe largest on the princl
pal treo and the twelve boxes of
bruised pears were actually picked up
and fed to the bogs. , Mr. Scboble
says these two trees bare never failed
to produce a big crop and that tbey
hven't been sprayed or pruned for
four yeais. There are pears yet on
those trees, as it was impossible to
reach all of them. Medford Mail.

Monarch Malleable
Ranges Awarded
Highest Prize
At the Lewis and Clark Exposition
REASONS WHY:
IVcauae the Monarch was the only range
with a patent Duplex Shaft, which causes
the fuel to burn evenly in the flreboi.
Because the Monarch was the only range
shown with an emery polished top, requir
ing no blacking.
Bocause Monarch Ranges have oven
thermometers made especially for them,
which tell the degree of heat required for
roasts, bread or pastry,
Because the Monarch Range bodies are
made of the heaviest Wellsville blued
steel, without enamel, and do not discolor.
