Anderson, of The Dalles, who is a candidate on the Republican ticket for reelection to the joint repre aentativeship from Hood River and Wasco and who was in the city Satur day, states that he desires tho people to expressly understand that he is not making the race with any othet candi date as a running mate. "1 am making the race absolutely without any allilia tions with any other man," says Dr. Anderson. Battey Building Bungalow F. K. Hattey, who recently arrived from Iowa to take charge of the Hol steen place in tho Pine Grove district, is building there an eight room bunga low.

Concrete Culvert Built on East Side Hood Kiver, Ore., May 2, 1914. Editor Glacier: The first concrete culvert work hBS been built in Hood Kiver. About 300 feet south of the East Side main road going to Odell, and on the road leading to J. P. Thorn- sen s place ine writer iounu ine tobu supervisor, G. H. Stanton, Mr. Thorn- sen and the road crew nusny engaged in building it. Tho culvert is 40 feet long, 3 feet high and 3 feet wide, and takes the nlace of a wooden bridge built some seven years ago, at a cost of about $50. The cost of the culvert is as follows: 2ti sacks cement, $17.H0; lumber, 17; gravel, $(; Sand, $8; lubor, f 12.50. Cost to county, $51.30. Labor donated. J. P. Thomsen, et al., $!, making a total cost of $t0. This culvert will be carrying water when all the present residents of Hood Kiver are past and gone. It is wliiil is called a permiintnt improvement. It is done today and can be forgotten, in order to give attention to older mat ters. A new wooden bridge would have cost nearly as much and have had to b replaced in seven years. While the subject Is up, it will be well to remember that some day the approach to the EhHt Side bridge will have to be replaced, and concrete is the thing. In Scott & Pifer's window in the Oregon hotel is a picture of a concrete bridge in Santa Cruz county, ChI.. that is 2X0 feet long and cost $1)850. The lowest estimate for a steel bridge at the same point was $7200. The steel bridge would have lasted 25 years; the concrete structure win te in use a hundred years from now, with a possibility of no repairs, and it any nlii'lit in cost. So a start has been made. Let's keep it up. K. K. Scott. Berry Picking Cards During the past week a number of Growers have neen ordering ineir packers' and pickers' cards.

Editor Glacier: May 1 be permitted to correct an impression which your readers might get from a perusal of a small paragraph in the issue of April 30? This paragraph referring to the road work of April 24 and 25, states that the "citizens of Dee worked two days. The mill of the Oregon Lumber Co. was closed for the event." As a matter of fact tho same crew of "citizens" worked two 10-hour days, but the mill of the Oregon Lumber Co. was not closed for that evert, or any other. Furthermore, with the excep tion of a substitute for Supt. Green, a man and team sent by Mgr. West and one Japanese, all three land owners here, no one employed uy the company worked on the roads. There was no occasion for it, notwithstanding it was "good roads day." Now, the impression 1 wish to correct is this, the settlement at and in the neighborhod of Dee postoliieu is not composed even mainly ol Oregon turn bcr Company employes. This post ollice servts nearly 50 resident land owning families, which are not all le pendent on the Oregon Lumber Com nunv. And in the matter of good roads the ranchers hereabouts have not been aided, nor do they expect to bo aided, by the transit laborers employed by the above mentioned corporation. Tho crew of road workers referred to in your article was one of three in this district. It contained 16 men who gave two days each. Very respectully, S. G. Emilio.

K ' ? ; SCENE FROM "PAID IX FULL" At Electric Theatre, Monday and Tuesday, May llth and 12th "Paid in Full" has been known to playgoers in the larger cities of the country for a number of years. Strong companies have toured the country, holding audiences in their grip, so dra matic are portions of the thrilling story. The story deals with the old, old story of love, the duty of a wife to her husband, the loyalty of a friend anil fatp's readjustment of the jumbled destinies of the pbaractera in the plot. Lucille Love, the girl of mystery, a soul thrillingtory of love, devotion, danger and intrigue, will be presented in the movjes at the Electric theatre.

M. degree wiM be con ducted. A luncheon will be Bervad. All visiting Masons are invited to be lay Making Record Making bay In the first of May is an unusual record for the Hood River val ley. However, Hoerlein brothers have this week been harvesting about Ave tons of clover and rye hay. The Hoer lein ranch is in a protected portion of the valley on the west side of the Hood river gorge in the Oak Grove district BASE BALL NEWS A Dalles woman bioke up the base ball between The Dulles and Hood River high schools at The Dalles last Saturday afternoon. 1 he locals knocked the balls over the fence for several home runs and every time they put the horsehide over the fence a woman who lives in the vicinity, and objects to the high board fence which was recently built around the ball psuk and next to her property, "copped" the balls and refused to surrender them. The leading lady in the drama has a garden at the side of the fence where the fouls going off to the left always light. During the game six new $1.25 balls fell in her garden and as she was on duty to prevent trcspassine, the balls were left in the garden Bi d the game stopped in the Fventh inning. They say at The Dalles that 16 balls went over in the garden the Sunday proceeding this game. Sid Carnine, who was playing left fitild and who re covered one of the balls and got away with it, Bays: "The bulls over in that garden make it show up likr? a water melon patch." It looks like The Dalles sporting population is going to have to move the ball park or else use a little of the long green to arbitrate with this anti base bail playing woman. The local team annexed a game last Sunday, defeating Harriman club team of Portland, 74. The Harriman team touched Hart for three hits during the gamejwhich they utilized to make four runs. They did not get in a run till the ninth inning, when they had two down and before Bill Hall caught a foul fly and ended the game tho railroad em ployes had rushed over four runs. The iocals started trouble in the first inn ing when Tate slammed out a second base hit to left field with Baker and Thomas on the path ahead of him. The locals secured six hits altogether. Thomas, short stop for the locals, and Voss, third base for Harriman, each speard several that should have been hits. The Odell A. A. team will play the locals here Sunday at Columbia park. The 0. A. A. team has won six straight games and has a perfect record for the season thus far. Hi Gill says, "Watch somebody subtract a game from a hith erto perfect record after Sunday's "li'l ole' ball game." The game will start at 2.30 p. m. Colvin, who umpired last Sunday, re- l cently tried out with Pendleton as ! catcher. From the knowledge of balls, strikes and fouls fouls particularly j that he displayed last Sunday the fans i here think he can spend a few years mure on the sand lot before breaking i in with salaried players. Some of his decisions were fierce. One man in the bleachers got very enthusiastic over what be thought should befall such a rotten indicator holder. VALLEY CRI ST Mr.Gobin left Monday for Wisconsin, where he will be for some time. Parkdale team played Odell Sunday. Odell won with a score 3 to 2.
