The
Dalles
even in the two game series played
here Sunday and Decoration Day, the
local boys winning the first contest
by a score of H to 5 and dropping the
Monday game by a score of 7 to 2.
Druhot proved to be the savior of the
lioldendale team and pitched the tail
enders to two victories over White
Salmon, the leaders of the league, in
the series played at Goldendale. These
losses forced the team across the river
to drop out of first place where it
has been during the whole season and
give way to The Dalles. The games
here were pretty good contests, but
were marked by poor umpiring, each
team placing the blame for its one
defeat at the door of the officials.
Lake pitched both games for Hood
River and acquitted himself well,
the ragged playing of the local infield
being mainly responsible for the loss
Monday. There is still another month
of the season and Hood River has a
good chance to get back into the top
berth which in occupied at the
opening of the season. Next Sunday
the locals will travel to Goldendale for
a game with the team at the bottom
of the column. The Klickitat county
seaters have evidently improved con
siderably since Hood River was against
them the last trip as was evidenced by
their victory this week and a good
game is anticipated.
The fans were delighted Sunday to
see Capt. Grandpa Castner back in the
game for Hood River, and even though
he limped a bit now and then he mana
ged to take care of his position in good
shape and do his share of the stick
work. Both teams started scoring
with three runs a piece in the second
inning of the first game of the series
and The Dalles picked up its other two
tallies in the next inning. Hood River
got another run in the fourth and
scored four in the sixth when the local
lads landed on Fagan for three hits.

The Dalles opened the scoring Monday
with a run in the first session and
scored three in the second. The locals
chased their men across the plate in
the fourth and ninth while The Dalles
added two tallies in the eighth and
Alexander was credited with a home
run in the ninth which looked like a
foul ball to everybody except the
umpire. Several other rank decisions
marked the work of Taylor and Shively
on Monday and Murry and Grant the
dny before. Hood River managed to
come in for a good number of hits but
vas unable to keep the visitors from
naking the circuit of the diamond when
they got a start. Good crowds were
present at the games Sunday and
Monday. The Hood River line-up was
the same both days. The Dalles put
Ri Idel in the box Monday and Wettle
succeeded McCoy at first, the latter
biing shifted to right field. Mclnerny
went to center and Pickett moved over
to the left garden for the Memorial
Day game.
Steamboats Carry Big biads.
The steamboats between here and
Portland have been getting more
freight than they could handle during
the past few weeks since the Bailey
G itzert was taken off the run. The
G:itzert is still being repaired, but re
ports from Portland are to the effect
that the big passenger boat will be in
shape to start the daily excursion runs
today. Commodore Dean says that the
Qattert will carry freight 'or a while
to relieve the congestion here.
The Open River company is planning
to put on another boat to run with the
Teal.
Fire Boys Appreciate Gifts.
Editor Glacier : We desire through
your paper to thank P. S. Davidson,
Carl H. Vaughan and D. A. Turner for
their gifts ol $50 each to Hood River
Fire Department in appreciation of its
efforts during the recent fire. This act
on the part of these men has caused
the members of the department to feel
that their work is appreciated by the
public and also will encourage them to
give the city a better department in
the future with the cooperation of the
citizens.

BURGLARS CRACK
SAFE ON THE HILL
Cracksmen, who from the bungling
job they did were evidently amateurs,
cracked the safe in the store of
Kinnaird & Kinsey, on the Heights,
early Sunday morning, but were un
able to break into the inner vault and
were none the richer for their work.
The explosion was heard by people in
the neighborhood about two o'clock
and it was heavy enough too shake the
building. The robbers were evidently
frightened away after the charge went
off because nothing was disturbed in
the store except by the shot of the
explosive. Entrance was gained into
the store by prying open a window in
the office with a jimmy. The ex
plosive tore open the outer part of the
safe but the steel vault inside was not
penetrated. The otlice furniture near
the safe was damaged, the window
blown out and the plastering torn.
There was about $100 in cash in the
safe which would have been the only
thing the robbers could have gained
It took a half day in the blacksmith
shop to finish wrecking the safe so
that its contents could be removed.
The loss to the merchants was about
$300, the value of the safe.
Rainmaker Has a Sure Thing.
Charles Hatfield, the man who claims
he can make it rain by shooting
chemicals into the air, has a cinch on
making easy money during the next
few weeks. He has contracted with
the merchants of Wasco, Sherman
county, situated in the heart of the
great wheat belt in the Inland Em
pire, and with some of the leading
grain-growers, to produce an inch of
rainfall in that semiarid region be
tween April 20 and July 25 In caae
he succeeds he is to be paid $K00, and
$200 more if there should be one
and one-half inches of rainfall during
that period.
'I hat the "rain maker" cannot lose
In his venture is shown by the records
kept on file in the office of District
Forecaster E. A. Heals, which disclose
the fact that the rainfall in previous
seas ins has never been less than one
inch in Sherman county from April
20 to July 25. Usually it runs about
double that amount.
J. R. Howell, the weather observer
at Wasco, is in the city and made a
call on Mr. Reals this morning. He
told of the contract which Hatfield has
with the merchants of his town and
with many of the farmers in the im
mediate vicinity. The visiting weather
man lias no faith in the ability of
the "rainmaker" to do anything with
the elements that will cause showers.
"In 1907," said Mr. Howell this
morning, "Hatfield entered into an
agreement with the merchants and
farmers of Sherman county to produce
six inches of rain in that section be
tween May 15 and July 15. But de
spite his most strenuous efforts there
was a fall of only 1.19 inches.
"If the question should be submitted
to a vote of the people of Sherman
county as to whether to employ this
"rainmaker" or not, he would be
turned down by 95 per cent of them.
He has a comparatively small follow
ing." One peculiarity about it all is, as
pointed out by Mr. Beals, that it rains
all over the dry belt of Eastern Ore
gon and Washington, in about the same
uantity. even when Hatfield is in
dustriously at work in a very sma
spot of Sherman county. But when
it rains where he has his chemicals in
operation, he claims the credit for it.
As given out by the weather man, it
is rainnig at the same time iust as
hard at Walla Walla, Umatilla and
other sections as where he is located.
In other words, it is explained, the
same showers are experienced through
out that entire state section of the
country.
It is said that Hatfield explains this
by saying the wind sweeps his clouds
into the adjoining territory. - Portland

Meat Men Buy at Summit.
Two deals were closed Tuesday,
whereby men engaged in the meat
packing business, became owners of
land in the Summit district. William
S. Thompson, an inspector for the
National Packing Co., of Chicago,
has bought the ten acre place of Thue
Olsen at Summit station, and it is
his intention to improve the tract
which is partly cleared. Mr. Thomp
son was in Horn! River a month ago
and was so much interested that he in
vested where. He is a friend of Ed
ward H. Wheeler, manager of the
National Packing Co., at Portland,
who owns a place across the road
which has been just this spring set to
trees. Mr. Wheeler this week pur
chased 40 acres of raw lanJ south of
Summit from Valentine Nehrbauer.
This place is covered with h avy
timber and Mr. Wheeler may not Im
prove it until he has finished clearing
his first place near the station.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
FOR SOLDIER DEAD
Memorial services were held Monday
afternoon by the members of the
Canby Post G. A. R. and Canby W. R.
C. in honor of the veterans of the civil
war who have passed on to the great
beyond. The exercises were attended
by the members of the post and corps
and many other citizens, the business
houses of the city being closed on
Memorial Day. The graves of the
dead were decorated in Idlewilde ceme
tery and Rev. J. G. Tate made the ad
dress of the day which was highly ap
preciated by the veterans. Miss
Blanche Ford read Lincoln's Gettys
burg address and musical selections
were rendered by Mrs. A. A. Jayne
and Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Clarke. M. P.
Isenberg talked interestingly of the
war times. Sunday morning the mem
orial services were held at the Metho
dist church when Rev. J. R. Parker
addressed the congregation.
READJUSTMENT TO
A LOWER BASIS
Henry Clews, the Wall Street auth
ority on finance, reports conditions as
follows :
"There is no question but that read
justment to a lower basis is going on
in industrial and mercantile affairs,
readjustment will prove highly bene
ficial and pave the way for renewed
activity at a later date. Unfortunately,
the country has become so accustomed
to high pressure activity and advanc
ing prices that it cannot experience
any movement in opposite directions
without becoming unduly discouraged.
It is a question if the national business
nerve has not been weakened by too
prolonged prosperity, since it now
takes unnecessary fright at the slight
est sign of reaction. It has long been
insisted upon in these advices that
the country would be benefited by
some sort of readjustment; our in
dustrial machinery being out of gear
because some portions had advanced
much more rapidly than others. We
are now going through a period of this
character in which equilibrium is being
restored. There is no occasion for
undue anxiety, and after a period of
moderate retrenchment, we may look
forward to renewed activity, provided
the harvest realizes expectations. At
present the crop outlook is promising,
although containing spots of dissapoinU
ment. Considerable injury, has un-
Suestionably been done to wheat in
'ansas, but this should be offset by a
larger corn crop. The same remark
will apply to the country as a whole.
A larger acreage of cotton is in pros
pect, and it is still too early to in
dulge in pessimistic views regarding
any of our crops. A cool and back
ward spring can hardly be considered
detrimental when accompanied by
adequate moisture, and it should be
remembered that a few warm days
will quickly place the crops upon a
satisfactory footing."
