HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1910 ARTHUR D. MOE. Publlther. SubHcrlptlon, S1.50 Per Year. RESULT OF THE ELECTION. The result of the city election, in ipite of the fact that two of the old administration failed of election by a narrow majority, is a vindication of the work of the present administration in their efforts to provide the city with good water. If the new admin istration carries out the wishes of the citizens and taxpayers, they will continue the efforts of the present ad mintration to secure a municipal water system as! soon as possible. The council will stand as a majority on this question in fact, five to one even if the newly elected member opposes it. It is to be hoped that it will be unani mous, even to the mayor. MAINTAINING OUR RECITATION. The unbroken line of victories which Hood River has achieved in the sever al apple shows around the country maintains our reputation. It has got to a point where we cannot afford to lose if we would keep at the head. There Is no reason why we should lose if our standards are maintained, if we put up an honest pack and make the Hood River label a standard of excel lence, which can be depended upon by the buyer. The quality of the Hood Kiver apples cannot be excelled, or even equalled, but the pack is being closely imitated by our competitors. It is this reputation which is of the utmost value to us in a commercial way. The heavy increase of acreage all over the Pacific Northwest in ap pies must make some difference in time in market values. It is our ex cellence in quality and pack which will be depended upon more and more in the future to give us the extra price for the apple which is the profit. It will be the best apples that will have the first sale, and the best apples which will be in demand for the high priced trado. An extra ten cents box adds a profit of GO an acre to the grower who can produce 600 boxes per acre, and adds $f00 an acre to the value of his land. Let us maintain our reputation and keep at the head of the procession. JIM HILL'S PROPHECIES AND FEARS, It is rather a hard and diflicult prob lem to reconcile Jim Hill to bis old prophecies with those of his latest ones. He made theaiiiuniticcineir two or three years ago that dire cala nity would fall upon the American people If the rail roads didn't spend several billions on expensive improvements. There was not anywhere nuar that mm used in this country, and yet we escaped tho dire calamity. Now that we again have bumper crops and reasonable prospects, Mr. Jim tells us that the railroad companies are not ordering anything worth mentioning in the way of additional equipment or im provements. He also predicts a icries of lean years to come, with many unem ployed and thefcurtailnient of produc tion and trade. Really what has hap pened In the past two years bus revo lutionized the railroads mid the indiis trial condition. Bo far, Jim't gloom baa not overtaken us, but now ho claims that we are living too high and that the "dire calamity" will surely overtake us in the course of a few moons. Fortunately, for us, there are those who are always watching for the pot to boil over, but it even has not come to a boil, so tho anticipated calamity never oecured. Evidently Mr. Hill goes "galaliooting' over the country making predictions of calamity disasters in order to produce a moral reaction, in the endeavor ti make the average American citizen hopeful and determined to prevent a calamity in busiiienl b prudence, com mo n ten e and economy. The wife of a wealthy Colorado mer chant is suing her husband for a divorce on tho grounds that her husband would not give Her money enough to buy new bonnet. She claims to have lived with him for the past 30 years and dur ing all of that time she has never bee the proud possessor of a new piece of headgear. She wants that division of the property which amounts to $150,000. State Land Agent Applegate has his report ready for tho legislature when they convene. Since he has been the land office, ho has flatly refused to help any monopolies grab land tha should go to the state. He also has an idea that the state's business worth looking after and that lond hogs should be barred from the state's pasture. jii mo nrsi uay oi relirunry liUI, is the date Bet for the inauguration of train servioo into Interior Oregon ovc the new line of tho Deschutes railroad. By that time it is expected that the line will be in-opemtion to Mutolius, 150 miles souht of the Columbia rive Kails have been laid about 30 mill south of the Columbia. It has been reported that there wi omy dc a zu-oay session of the legis lature instead of the long drawn out 40-day limit. This idea is getting strong among the Representatives and Senators. Evidently tne people will be as well satisfied. One railroad official has rose up on his two hind legs and made tho remark that the railroadsa re run solely for the purpose of making money. This seems to be a poor way to gain the good will of the people. When it comes to winning first prizes, Oregon seems to get three with both feet, so to speak. This time Hood River apples and a Morrow County heifer won first prizes at Chicago. When Miss Geraldine Farrar arrived at her home after a trip abroad, she again repeated her famous remark about dukes and other foreign noblitiy. But let it be remembered, however, that she was wearing a hat which en tirely hid her face when she said it. Astoria will celebrate her one hun dredth birthday next year. Every Oregonian should put his shoulder to the wheel and heln the great city to celebrate. Everybody should be abb to go at least once in a hundred years, Twenty-nine "blind pigger's"twho have been dispensing near beer to booze fighters in Pendleton and the surrounding country, have finally met with their "Waterloo." They donated $100 each to the county treasurer. Charles E. Hicks has resigned his position as editor of the Independence Eriternritfe. Henry E. Browne has accepted the editorialship and will en deavor to make it the leading paper in that part of the state. It cost the New York Democatic Slate Committee $328,870 to elect its state ticket. This is even more than the Hood River municipal election cost last Tuesday. There are strong indications that the people of England will be able to pull off their coming election without hav ing a German war scare, as usually is the case. Mr. Pepper, Congressman-elect, from Iowa, should have but little trouble in being the genuine hot stuff when he gets inside the White House walls. President Taft has directed that cer tain sections of his message be cut out which will reduce it "to 0000 words. It will go to Congress as an appendix. On the first day of each year all Chinamen pay their debts and begin the new year with a smile. But then, who wants to be a Chinaman? The record for hunters who were mistaken for deer and killed has been broken totals 113. It is a remarkable year for broken records. Don't send your Chriamas order to some mail order house. Spend your money with the home merchant. Ninety-two thousand bales of hops is tho crop for Oregon this year, while last year the crop was 85000 bales. We are mighty thankful that we are not compelled to buy bacon to keep warm. Two hundred feet high will be the limit for skyscrappers in Chicago here- a f ter. President Taft is a pretty busy man these days working on his message to Congress. Thero is once in a great while a magazine comes out without an article referring to the Hon. John D. Kock- feller. A French woman has succeeded in remaining up in the air in a nying machine for 50 minutes. During ail of that time three was nobody whom she could talk to. James J. Hill predicts that many thousands of men will be out of em ployment next year in this county. owing to .the public's past extravu gance. Baseball magnates will go right on increasing the capacity of their park. It is reported from Hillsboro that whole family is dying from the effects of eating raw pork aauasge spread up on bread. I heir oodles are pronounc ed by attending physicians to be fairly impregnated with trichina from tin uncooked pork. These mocrobus null tiply with great rapiditly and it is only a matter of time until the victims are actually eaten alive. There seems to be no method that will eradicate the avaricious worms after once they have gained foothold in the human sytsem. Married In An Automobile. Near Indianapolis, ' Ind.. an auto mobile dashing along at the rate of t0 miles an hour, on the Riverside boule vard, Miss Ella Wilson anil Erve RuoM, were married by Kev. Lewis. The preacher stood on the steps of the car while the bridegroom guided the ma chine with his left hand while he joined hands- with the bride. The ceremony whs punctured with bumps and jolts. The tieing of the knot was witnessed by two friends, who claim that it was done "according to lloyle." A New Innovation. The Southern Pacific railroad have decided to try a new innovation in th matter of feeding its passengers on the train. With this end in view, 'the com pany is having tfvo cars built which will he called lunch cars and whi are to be especially designed for the purpose of feeding people who ride in the day coaches. No doubt but what the "lunch cars" will become quite popular ior uiose who ride in tho Pullmans, who would prefer a lk'lit i i. .... . t. ... .i . luiK-ii ,io inarm me expensive one m the diner. hl . i , ... . . . ine insme arrangement ot the cars will tie about the same as that of short order counter in the city.

Water Company Enjoined. Salem. Or.. Dec. fi PernetmiHv -n. joining the Joseph Water works 'from extending its water mums, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of Judge J. A. Knowles, of Wallowa County, today in the case of. the City of Joseph versus the water companv. 1 he company wished to extend its mains to streets not already nrovided with water, and the city started in junction proceedings. As one defense the company alleged thnt the city ile al red to establish a water plant of its own and through competition render the present company s property value less. Tho lower court dissolved th injunction, which was only temporary, ubt the Supreme Court declared a re versal of judgment and made the in unction perpetual. TOQUES A ew Iit.

Of course she sings well and reads heavy novels and all such, but she thinks too much of her personal ap pearance to be really brainy. Why? We went bathing the other day to gether, and would you believe me, but 1 give you my word of honor, Josiah, was nearly struck dumb with the way she made herself up. No, not exactly painted, but she told me confidentially that she used a special kind of face cream under her powder during the winter months and a cooling lotion in the hot weather, and she also uses three kinds of hair tonic, and oh! I don't know what all. And when we had our shampoo - you should have seen the extra hair she put on. Mr. Jordan dressed tor dinner and waited calmly for the finish of Pis w'fe's sartorial preparations and smiled whimsically with his eagle eye on the dressing table before which his wife sat. It held uuite an assortment of dainty boxes and bottles and Josiah knew lull well that there were many more tucked away in various drawers and cupboards and out of the way places that he knew nothing of. He kept on watching Mrs. Jordan smiling ly touch her cheeks with a delicate pink powder, applied a white powder to her forehead, nose and throat, delicately corrected eyerbows with a tilack pencil, pinching the hairs iinto better shape with some kind of muci lage that was sweet smelling, rubbed ind manipulated the lobes of her ears until thoy were as pretty to look at as a Hood Kiver Spitzenberg apple, added tne untuning toueties to tier hair with a special curling iron and pinned on six or eight pull's und a froid. While Hho was pinching and pressing, her lips to perfect their shape, Josiah, the more man, indulged in a speech. "My dear," SHid Josiah gently, "why do you find fault with Julia Hokpins fur 'making-up,' and what is the difference between her and other women? Hvery time you try a new cosmetic dodge you tell me that a the women I know are doing it, and you seem to be going some in the same direction of facial decoration just at the present time. Why is it so much worse for Julia to do such things to her face and hair than for you to lie doing the very same thing?" "Josiah Jordan," stammered Mrs. Jordan with all of her dignity, "if 1 hadn't any more horse sense than ou have, I would certainly hide it as much as possible. Of course, 1 use but very little powder. The woman who doesn t is a guy, always. Then too, 1 add a little hair, not because I need it if the fashions weren't so severe, but because I don't want to disgrace you hy looking worse than the wives of your friends. All the hair fixings I wear are made from my own combings, auii mere is also me greatest diller ence in the world between usng a little nam powder anil makng-up your face iiko a perfect mask. Credulous Bucktoss. lllnuu r.uektoss, a West Carrollton farmer, used to eoiue in to Iayton every Saturday afternoon to shop, and the boys at the feed store would take many n rise out of him ou account of his faith. He'd believe anything-accede to the tallest propositions. One Saturday, to see If he couldn't shatter Hiram's proverbial faith, a wit said: "Speaking ot buffaloes, Mr. Bucktoss, did I ever tell you that when I was out west 1 seen a buffalo up a tree eat ing grapes?" "Indeed!" said Hiram. He didu't even look a bit startled, but only In terested and pleased. "Indeed:" "'flint's what 1 said." repeated the wit. "W hy, Mr. ltucktoss, didn't you never see no buffaloes up trees?" "No," faltered lllrain. "No, 1 can't say I ever did." Then be brightened up. "Hut reoficii beard," ho added, "how very fond they are of grapes." New York Tress. ALFALFA FOR SALE.
