Wants a Hearing
Mt. Hood. July 17th
Editor Olaoier Dear Sir: In the
Glacier of the Kith, amongst the Mt,
Hood items is the mention ot a new
school house, for the accommodation
of those living on the west side ot tno
liver ln tho Mt. Hood district., with
the remark that it is deemed quite
central.
It Is stated that tho location is the
northeast corner of the northoast
quarter cf Seotiou 6. There are some
17 children to be accomodated at this
school house, who are now of sohool
age, and all but four of them live In
the north half ot section 32.
Mr. James Wishart olfered a site
for the house on the south west ooi
ner of the northeast quarter ot seo
tlon 3A The difference of travel, In
one day, ot all the 17 pupils, is 24
milea less to the Wlshait site, equal
to miles lass travel in the first
nine mouths of aobool.
We believe that the interests of the
majority will be bottor served by
locating the sobool on the Wishart
site or in some other locality near it
aud hope that before this matter is
finally decided upon the people ot out
section will be given a hearing.
Resident of section 32.
Seme Fine Valley Products.
The exhibit booth hss had on dis
play recently some products of whloh
the valley can well be proud. They
consisted of several brandies of ohsi
i lea grown by A. I. Msson, Capt. F.
M. Jackson and A. Butts. Those ex
hibited by Mr. Mason are Lamberts
and without doubt show the most
wonderful yield ever exhibited in
Hood River. Un oue branch less than
12 Indies long there are in the neigh
borhood of 150 cherries. Id fact a
short distance away the fruit is so
abundaut aa to resemble a bunch of
grapes. The fruit shown by Cspt.
Jackson also of the Lambert variety,
while not so abuudaut as that of Mr.
Mason, is the largest we have seeu
this year. Mr. Butt's display of
Royal Anues and Rings was alao a

Mt. Hood Railroad company, has on

Dalles City Hits Itock.
Seuatoi Nick Sinuot, wbo arrived
at Hood River Monday for a short
business visit, csiun down on the
Dalles City. When near Blngen Mr.
Sinuot states that the boat struck a
rook with suoh force that all the pas
sengers who were on their feet were
thrown to the deck. For some time
It waa thought that the steamer had
austaiued injuries thst might cause
her to sink. When she waa backed
off the rock however it was found
that no damage bad been doue and
she proceeded to Hood River without
any further delay.

TAMPER JTTII GOLD COIX.
Charles Wetland, Once a Preacher In
Los Angel, Heads Gang.
Los Angeles, July 21. The dis
covery of a fine workshop, estab
lished by counterfeiters, at the bot
tom of a deep, abandoned shaft ln
the old Dominion copper property,
near Globe, Arizona, disclosed an
extraordinary romance of the pulpit
and mines, and clears up a counter
felting mystery without a parallel In
the West. Charles Wieland, of this
city, who cast aside the cloth to enter
the ranks of the Socialists, is the
head of the counterfeit gang and has
been arrested and placed in the ter
ritorial prison at Tombstone. His
younger brother, Fred Wieland, aged
21, and his half-brother, Edward
Neaman, both Los Angeles Socialists,
are ln the same prison. All were ar
rested by George W. Hazen, of the
United States Secret Service, who
discovered their den and confiscated
their tools and materials.
Hazen has returned with 44 $20
(old pieces which the trio had "doc
tored" and which almost defy detec
tion, responding to the tests by acid
and by scraping, and having the true
ring. Hazen says they are the most
skillful workmeu he has ever known.
They made thousands of dollars by
their criminal operations and the
coins tampered with have been
passed all along the Coast.
Fred Wieland, who studied In a
Y. M. C. A. school here, seems to
have been the mechanical genius. He
Invented and made a machine for
shaving the faces ot the coins and
removing the milled edges. In the
edge and between the faces copper
was Inserted, roldered and pressed
into correct shape ln another ma
chine of young Wieland's invention.
So cleverly was this done that banks
took the coins unhesitatingly.
The gold removed was melted into
Ingots, after being alloyed, and sent
to the United States mint.
Matron Flogs Two Little Girls.
San Francisco, July 21. Follow
ing the flight from Oakland and the
capture ln this city of two little girls.
Inmates of the West Oakland Home,
and accusations of cruel treatment
made by the children, It Is probable
that an investigation will be ordered.
The West Oakland Home Is one of
the leading charitable Institutions on
the other side of the bay, and sev
eral of the most prominent club and
society women of Alameda county
are known aa Its patrons. The ac
cusations were made in the Juvenile
Detention Home here by the two
children, who brought from the West
Oakland Home the marks of pun
ishment more sever than ever had
been Inflicted on an Incorrigible boy.
The offense for which the punish
ment was Inflicted, according to the
story told by the girls, was stealing
a briof ride on a passing wagon. Be
fore they were carried away from the
potentlon Homo last night by Mrs.
Melissa Van Wermer, matron of the
West Oakland Home, the chtldren
accused her of having administered
the flogging which had left welts and
bruises all over their bodies. The
flogging, they said, had been done
with a long buggy whip. Mrs. Van
Wermer said:
"I do not care if the whole of Ala
meda county condemns It. I think I
was ustlfled and would do It again."
Miners Favor Affiliation.
Denver, July 21. The question of
a closer working agreement with -the
United Mine Workers of America
was brought officially before the con
vention of the Western Federation of
Miners. The matter came up during
the consideration of President Mov
er's annual report, in which he ad
vocated such an agreement. The dis
cussion brought out the fact that
many members felt a union with the
United Miners' organization might
force the Western Federation men to
adopt the check-off and contract sys
tem. The latter organisation does
not make contracts of auy kind.
Socialists Made Martyrs.
Los Angeles, July 21. Sil men
and two women socialists were ar
rested at a street demonstration for
free speech. Among those arrested
were Cloudesley Johns, secretary of
the Socialist League ot Los Angeles,
and an intimate associate of Jack
London, and E. A. Campbell, pastor
ot a Unitarian church in Pasadena.

Falling: Tree Smashes House.
Billy Vanderpool; has just had an
other narrow escape from being killed
by a tree falling on bim. During the
severe wind stoim last Sunday Billy
went to the spring to get a pail of
water and while be waa there a tree
fell across bis Jhouse and knocked it
oto kindling wood. His stove was
smashed to smithereens and evety
lece of furniture in the bouse waa
brcken beyond repair.
A oouple'of yeais ago Billy bad an
experience thst should have taught
him that It is dangerous to have trees
standing too near the bouse. On that
ocoasion be was sleeping in his bed in
the middle of the night when the
wind earns Dp and felled a tree across
bis bouse. Tbe branches came
through tbe root aud struok the bed
in such a way as to pin him and hold
him there in spite of his eSorts, with
out seilonsly lujurlug him. And
theie be lay, wiggling and yelling for
help, from twelve o'clock at night
until two o'clock tbe next afterooon
wben a couple of girls came along,
discovered bis piedioament, called
for help and had him released. At
that time we advised William to cut
down all tbe trees in reach of bis
bouse, but be did not take our advice
and now be has no bouse. But after
all he has been wonderfully lucky.
In tbe first iotanoe tbe broken limbs
oould just as well have gone tbiough
bis body as through the bed if they
bad struck a very few inches either
way from were tbey did, and Id tbe
second instance tbe tree ohose its
time to tall at the only time it could
have done so without mashing Billy
op along with bis house. Billy's
piaoe is up tbe oanyon road some
thing over a mile from town White
Salmon Enterprise.
