HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1905. BARRETT. It teem to me that idfut steps should tie taken (or the purchasing of a rock crusher. It has already been demonstrated what good roads cau be u mle with rock and gravel, but the it; I; broken up and then put on the lend would be eeu much better than gravel. It will take a email tax on each taxpayer in the valley, but what is that iu coiupai iwou to good roan a. It would Mutually save tiiouey to the farmer. He would mnke better time going to towu and his berries would not be shook up iuto a jelly. If there in a good roadti committee why not call a meeting of it, t hen if there is no giod roads con .nikue, the Com mercial Club can cult a meeting, then we will know tho sentiment of the peoplo of the valley. II. C. McKfin.ey is a very busy man with his grubbing machine. It seems as though he was turning the earth right up. II. C. tays bis little team and cable cau move any root and it looks that way to me. Mrs. W. Nichols aud baby have re turned homo after boing out on the homestead tor several weeks. VV ill of course, will be at borne for the holi days and eat Christmas pudding. Why do yon spend your money for that which is not bread and your la bor for that which satislieth not; listen unto me whilst 1 tell you that you cau buy shorts aud barley just as cheap at Rockford as any place, save time, money and axle grease by calling at Rockford. Joel Hloimt brought in a strawberry plant in full bloom, last Friday.. Joel says that if that was in Colorado, they would blow it up. Yes, they might do that but they cannot raise Ho id Kiver strawherries iu Colorado, neith er ran they rai?e anything liko our apples. Ho wind Shoemaker has completed the grubbing contract and has pulled out of the liurrett district aud with his outfit hs goue on the eat side to work. On Saturday, December 23, at 10 o'clock, there will be an election held for the purpose of levying a tax for school purposes. Also to consider the question of building more school room at the Barrett school. J. T. Harnett says he just put in two good solid hours one day last week, pairing a horse's foot and took out a few corns and now the old plug foels a heap better. Yes, of course, J. T. can do tbo work if you only give hiui the chrmice and by the way, J. T. ia very reasonable in charges. MOUNT HOOD. M. Dumas will be one of the big strawberry growers in a year or two. He has the acres iu now, aud got the ground ready for live acres more. In the spring he will put in about ten uores of apples. W. II. Duikue is finishing the new school bouse iu district 43. He has made a very nice job of it considering the weather. The ranchers are making lots of im provements up he o this winter, the weather bating been tine for all kinds of farm work. V. S. Tower lus built a new wood shed aud a new barn, or at least he has made stanchions in the side of his baru, to that us the bay is fed out be can move the stanchions a little closer. V. S. tiribble is jumping sideways these times, getting bis holiday goods ready for sale. Mount Hood is coming to the front very fast. It ia only a matter of a short time when wo will make people open their eyes and respect Mount Hood, as a dairy country, also as a fruit couutry, as it has passed the ex perimental stage. As for vegetables, although we don't raise- them so large that two policemen can sleep on one beet up here, jet it is bard to beat us in all kinds of vegetables. As for dairying, M. Dumas Gas one for you. He is milking three cows and shipping the cream to Hazelwood, aud on the 11th i f December, he got bis cheek for f.Xio. How is that? All tho rest of us who me shippiug cream are well plowed with those returns and are giing to try and he better fixed for the 'business by another year. There ate ubont seveu shipping cream with a prospect of more going in in the spring:- . W. 11. Marshnil will set ut about 20 acres to apples net spring and set berries between the rows. With the railroad iu reach of us we are hound to grow and land can be had ut ulmost auy old price. Haw laud is very cheap ami tho Koil o believe is superior to the soil in the lower valley. On an ateraKO it cm. ua cleared tor about $30 per acre. Special Cnrre-pundcnee- N. H. llhiuy and Mrs. Statk of Milwaukee, Or., came up ou the Btage, Sitt-rday, to look over the upper valley. Quite a iiinuler ficm this place weut to Hood Kiver to meet with the United Artisans. Some returned Suuday morning aud some not till evening. All said they had a good time. The Orego-i Lumber company gave an order lor lun-bor, which will be u.tid in coiistuicting the large mill near Winaus City, to Kelly & Wish urt. We can hear the buzz cf the saw, every uity. Many think that Jarre.- Davidson is a little late iu the season with his straw hat. Jim says it is all right since he gave it a coat of paint. O. Freder.bnrg took dinner with Jeste Davidson Sunday. Floyd Ilefs and Fred WUhart at tended the entertainment at Odell Friday evening. Fred said the best part of it wa the walking borne, while F, B. went to the Fine Orove dis trict. Hav a good time while you are young.

Wo are bavins all kinds of weather here at present It will snow awhile, then rain, then frost; then it will rain, snow and frost all at the same time. The sun oomes out once in awhile and looks down on as and smiles. We have had a very nir.e fall and winter so far; the rain and snow has hindered outdoor work very little. Those that are clearing land say they have lost very few days on account of bad weather. The Dodge brothers have received their new stump puller fiom Center ville, Iowa. - It is claimed to be the fastest, strognest and best stamp ma chine made, and is guaranteed against any breakage for one year. The boys win nave a chance to test it if the weather holds good. They have eight acres to clear on Willow Flit, and theu tbey will clear some on their own land. J. Q. Carnahan lost one of his hors es last week, cause unknown. J. Q. says he Is going to got a bone grinder and go to grinding horse bones for chicken feed. He says be has enough horse bones ou his ranch to supply the whole valley for a year. Two of our townsmen locked boms up at Bone's mill one day last week. It looked for awhile as if we were go ing to see a scran, but both parties oonoluded that such work might be Hard on the eyes and parted g'od friends again. Our school commenced again last Wednesday with Miss Bess lseuberg of Belmont as to; clier. It begun to look as if we sure not goii g to have any more school this wiuU i, as Miss Isenberg was engaged to commence teaching over two weeks eg:), on the 3rd. But when she arrived here she could find no place where she could secure board. She dually secured I'oard at the home of u. D. Boyd. We expect to have a good school the rest of the term, as Miss Isenberg oomes well reconiniendeu and is well liked wherever she has taught. Mrs. M. C. Carnahn went to Salem last week to visit her son. Mr. Cam aban went ou Monday and will accom pany her home this week. J. A. Knox has bad his house moved out closer to the road. He is going to build an ell on the house, pat ou new rastio and make a new house out of it. He will make other improve ments also. Mrs. A. T. Dodge reoeived a letter from a friend in Kausas.last week, aud she stated that a used-to-be neighboi of A. T. Dodge's came out to the Lewis aud Clark fair this summer. When he returned be was asked hew ho liked Oregon. He said he bad no use for Oregon : that it rained all the time he was here; that it was cold and foggy all the time aud that the coun try was so ro.:gh that be couldn't see nowhere. He was asked why hi didn't stop and see Dodge's folks, and he said he would but be did nit know where Hood River was. He bad heard something about it, and had 1 ! .. ., i .1 nk,,, 11 hul nn mi o seemed to know much about it. Now that man must be bughouse and have wheels iu his head, or perhaps coming from a prohibition state, the atmos phere was too strong for him, but more than likely red eye had some thing to do with it. At any rate w are glad he got back to Kansas all right, aud we are glad he likes to live thore. Sav.- where is our Willow Flat cor respondent, we bavn't heard from bim for a lone time, he sprung op of a sudden, he flourished like a green bay tree for a season and dropped out or sight as suddenly. Wake up neigh bor, such a busy thriving little place as Willow Flat, ought to report ouce in a while, anyway. WHITE SALMON. There have' been a great many changes in the depot site lately.

Clande Wet her ill of Carsons was visitor a' White Salmon 'Tuesday. MOSIER. The appearance of Mr. Baaoke's res- dence ia being muoh improved by the application of a fresh coat of paint. Miss Katharine Davenport left on WeJnesday of last week to fill a va cancy in the Pine Grove school, whioh was made by the absence of Miss Hall who was suddenly called east by the serious illness of ber mother. On Tuesday evening Frank Ginger's fiery, untamed team manifested its decided intention to run away. Hav ing become frightened at a dog in the road, they started to run from a point near Rook creek, and it was not until tbey bad reached town that be had them fairly under this control. With some damage wrought to bis wagon and a good shaking up to himself, he hastily retired to the blacksmith's shop, where necessary repairs were soon made and everything is iu read iness again for another runaway. Miss Lucy Mullen, who has been confined to her home with illness, is gradually convalescing. School in district No. 8, in'chsrge of Miss Anna Godberson, will close on Friday next with appropriate exer cises. This will close a very success ful four months' term for Miss God berson, who has acquitted herself in a commendable manner, and who, throughout the term, has given entire satisfaction. Mrs. J. K, McGregor spent Thurs day and Friday of last week in The Dalles. On Friday evening Miss D. Mosier entertained a few friends at 5 o'clock. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Morgan. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Mc Gregor, Misses Oulovion and Mosier, and Messrs. Bateham and Root. Af ter having finished three closely con tested games, dainty refreshments were served, alter wblcb tne merry party took their departure, having fully assured their hostess that they had spent a very pleasant eveniug. We are pleased to learn from Miss Agnes Gnlovson, teacher in district No. 62.' that, despite the cold and in clement weather, her attendance con tinues to reach the average forty in number. On Friday Miss Gulovson will close ber reboot for a ten days' holiday vacation, with befitting Christmas exercises, including a tree and a visit from Santa Claus. The citizens of Mosier have become thoroughly aroused with a spirit of Christmas enthusiasm, having taken bold with a determination to make complete success of the Christmas en tertainment At meeting called for the purpose of making arrangements for the same, essential committees were appointed to take up the differ ent lines of preparation, each member of which accepted his or her appoint ment without dissenting voice.

J. a Booth and O. B. Hartley of Hood River were visitors In Mosier on Sunday. Miss Elsie Middleswart is visiting her sisters in Hood River, Mrs. Wm. Rowland and Miss Mary Middleswart. Lee Evans was a passenger on Sat urday's train for Hood Kiver. Jas. Carroll, one of Mosier's most extensive apple growers, is planting a young orchard of 1000 trees this fall and winter. A movement is on foot in Mosier to revive the Artisan lodge. This lodge has become somewhat run down, and in consequence of this fact, it has been deemed advisable by some of the stauncber members to appoint a com mittee, consisting of H. E. Waite, J. N. Mosier and A. P. Bateham to look Into this matter of renewal, the mem bers of whioh committee are extend ing special inducements to any one who might entertain a desire to join with them.- It is to be hoped that the lodge may be revived, as we be lieve it to be a good organization, a - d one from whiob may be derived muoh looial benefit, a thing of which Mosier stands greatly in need. A number of Mosier people went down to Hood River on Saturday's train to be present at the grand Arti san meeting which wa held there. Among the number we learn to have been A. P. Bateham, Leo Root and Phil Wiuaua. tilve Your Stomach Rest Nothing will cure indigestion that doesn't digest he food, itself, and give the stomach rest.
