TWO LITTLE GIRLS BURNED TO DEATH No happening in Hood River valley has ever been more horrible than the burning of the home of Robert Robert son, of the Pine Grove district, last Friday night, when his two little daughters, Kuth, aged sever, and Vio let, aged 14, lust their livea in the flames. The little girls were general favorites in the community, and news of the fire and its attendant hor ror was a shock to the neighborhood and cast spell of gloom over the en tire alley. "1 have never seen the telephone sys tem busier," says D. H. Drewery. "Lines penetrating all parts of the valley were busy, people asking news of the fire." Mr. Robertson and his young son were sleeping in the bars in order to care for a newly botn colt. An older brother was away from home for tbe night. The girls were sleeping alone in a room of the second story of the house. The flames were first noticed by near-by neighbors who rushed to the scene and aroused the father and young son. However, the fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to res cue the bodies of the children, much less save their lives. Their forms were burned to unrecognisable masses. The reflection of the flames, aeen by several other neighbors, caused no alarm, it being thought they were from burning brush heaps or piles of apple tree prumngs. It is the custom of many to burn their prunings on still nights. 'the cause of the fire has not been determined. It is thought that perhaps one of the girls arose after retiring and struck match, which may have been tossed into a pile of papers on the floor. All of the kerosene in the house ! had been put into the lantern'for.use at i the barn. I The pupils of the Pine Grove school i attended the funeral, held Sunday J morning at the Pine Grove church, in a i body. The little girls all carried floral offerings, which were laid on the bier. On the way to the cemetery both the little boys and girls marched in the funeral procession. Rev. G. E. Hem eck preached the funeral sermon. Tho following six little girls were I pall berers: Misses Jessie Lewis. .May j Holes, Ray Boles, Helen Brosi, Esther Krussow and Beatrice Bratz. CITIZENS DISCUSS LAND VALUATIONS With County Assessor Wickham pre siding, a meeting was held last Thurs day afternoon at the Commercial club, where matters of taxation and the val uation of real estate were discussed. State Tax Commissioner Eaton was present and addressed the citizens, ex plaining methods used by the Commis sion in arriving at their valuations, their tatios of county taxation and the sums assessed the different counties. Mr. Eaton suggested that the meeting nominate a number of men owning property in different parts of the valley to sit with him and cooperate in setting a proper valuation on Hood River res I estate. The following men were named: C. Dethman. J. C. Porter. J. J. Gibbons, H. F. Davidson, J. O. Hannum, J. H. Heilbronner, J. E. Robertson and C. T. Early. A meeting was held immed iately after the conclusion of the dis cussion. Assessor Wickham met with the state commissioner and the advis ory committee selected. It is the hope of local citizens that the valuations of local property may be reduced. It is declared that the orch ard places for the past several years have not been producing an income in excess of wheat land, the valuation of which is much lower. COLUMBIA STREET IMPROVEMENTS SEEN Numerous residents along the Colum bia street in the west end of the city are making or have completed im provements on their homes. W. H. McClain has improved hie lawn and is now engaged in building a porch to his home. Kay W. Sinclair has added to the neatness of his residence by new paint. W. N. Winter has built a new garage for his recently purchased Dodge Bros, motor car. C. D. Hinrichs is completing the addition of a sleeping porch to his residence. James E. Rob ertson has erected an addition to his home and has laid hardwood floors in bis home. A. C. Lofts, who recently sold his home just opposite his recent purchase, is improving the lot just bought from Mrs. C. A. Bell at the corner of Tenth and Columbia streets. Mr. Lofts, however, has decided to postpone the building of a residence. OUT OF STREAM WITH SELF-STARTER Henry Kennady, formerly a citizen of Owensburg, Ky., and later manager of the Studebaker branch at Oklahoma City, recently had a rabbit hunting ex perience in Australia, which, strange as it may seem, tested the efficiency of the Studebaker starter. Kennady, who is now managing director of the Stude baker distributing house at Sidney, started out with four companions to hunt rabbits, using a Studebaker Six. In attempting to ford a hollow dur ing a rain, a carburetor became sub merged in water which was going through so swiftly that none of the oc cupants dared get out of the car. The water kept rising inch by inch until the party feared they would be washed away. During a lull in the storm Ken nady put the car into low gear, threw on the self starter and was able to pull out of the deep hole. The carburetor was then drained and the engine imme diately fired evenly, taking the party back to Sidney without further mishap. Praise for the Big Apple Praise for the big red apple now on display at the Panama-Pacific Interna tional exposition continues to be heard here. John Otlen recently when he arrived from having spent the winter in California, while visiting at the Hood River State bank, stated tbat he had viewed.the apple'with interest. "I don't know who put the apple there 'nor who is paying for it," said Mr. Otten, "but it ia one of the best things Hood River ever did." S. A. Mitchell, formerly in the bank ing business in Rock Valley, la., has just received a letter from J. A. Huiz i enea, formerly employed by tbe bank ! with which Mr. Mitchell was connected and now cashier of a bank in f Rock Valley, who says that Oregon, and es pecially Hood River have certainly done themselves proud in their exhibits at the big fair. WODECKI PRAISES HOOD RIVER APPLES During tb past year Carl Wodecki. a fruit market man of Tie Dalles, has bandied a good quantity if Hood River apples. "When I want oud apples," says Mr. Wodeeki. "I go; to Hoed River and specify the variety, quality and quantity to tbe Apple Growers As sociation. I get wbat 1 mint. I have handled the Hood River product with success." Mr. Wodecki for two seasons past has figured prominently in the Hood River cherry deal and shall protat ly be in the market this aaran for Royal Annes and Rings. Ue has built up an enviable business in tie neighboring city. When here last week Mr. Wodecki declared tbat the fruit gn ers of The Dalles, the pioduct of nt of whom is cherries, are jubilant. Already 500 tons hsve been contractu to the big new Libby cannery now in course of construction, for four ci v.lt a pourd. California preservers have bought 300 tons at the same figure. Mr. Wodecki says the cannery of The Dalles will be ready to take Hood Riv er pears at $22 per ton.

The tilacier will be very glad to have fishermen ami lini.tcrs to nive an account of their experiences to this column of the paper. If you hear a story or a good joke, repoit it. Fishing has begun in earnest on Hood river, and the sportsmen are dis playing evidences of the tales they tell. The finest Chinook salmon seen in Hood River in recent days was dis played early Friday morning at the Krani hardware store. It was caught by I. P. Richardson, a salesman of the Standard Oil Co. Mr. Richardson land ed the big Chinook with a number three hook. But before he could pull him ashore he had to call in two men who were watching him from the bank. ' The fish aroused great interest. It was caught before breakfast, and by the time business men were arriving for the day's work, it was placed in state in the Franz show window. Crowds looked, wondered and ejaculat ed at it all the morning. A. W. Bishop declares that he still holds the record fur the number of steelheads caught in one day. Last reason he landed seven big fellows. "Chas. Foster can beat me this year," says Mr. Bishop, "foriiecan wade. I have been forced to quit wading on account of rheumatism. Mr. Bishop landed a steelhead last year that weighed, when it was dressed, 21 pounds. Gub Miller, after looking at the big salmon caught by Fisherman Richard son last Friday morning, immediately purchased tackle and was seen on the river early Saturday morning. On Sunday the fisherman on Hood River were so thick that every rock was occupied, and it is declared that it was necessary for the anglers to take turns at fishing from the points of van tage. Among those on the river were the following: Dr. E. L. Scobee, J. B. Hunt, Arthur Howell, Fred Rand, F. H. Coolidge, J. F. Volstorff, Mr. and Mrs. Irl Blagg, J. A. Wandling, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Nepple and daughter, Miss Olive Nepple,, and Frank E. Haenner. Cecil Hoi man and T. J. Kinnaird spent Sunday on Lindsay creek, where they caught nice baskets of fish. The following party spent Saturday and Sunday on Green Point creek: Frank Davenport, Jr., Kay W. Sin clair, Ernest Edlridge and Harold Hershner. In addition to catching all the trout they could eat while nn the camping trip, the men brought home nice messes of fish. "The weather was as fine as I have ever seen it," says Mr. Davenport, "and was ideal for camping." ' Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Johnson and family spent Sunday on Hood river fishing and enjoying a picnic excursion. Application blanks which must be filled out and sworn to by Civil war veterans wishing to take advantage of the law passed by the last legislature, have been received by County Clerk Shoemaker from State Game Warden Finley, of Portland. The blanks will be delivered to eligible parties. On receipt of blanks properly filled out, the county clerk will issue fishing licenses. According to the letter of in structions all applications must be made in person or in writing to the clerk's office in this city. Game Warden Finley'g letter is as follows: "At the last session of the legisla ture a law was enacted providing tbat Civil war veterans could procure hunt ing and angling licenses without pay ing the fee provided by statute, and with this object in view we have pre pared application blanks which it will be necessary for such veterans to fill out and execute before some officer authorized to administer oaths, and upon filing such application with your office, a combination license may be is sued to such veterans. A supply of these application blanks is being for warded to you under separate cover. "the application should be attached to the stub of the licence issued, which would be your authority for issuing the license and not remitting the fee there fore to the state treasurer. "This statute, however, does not be come effective until May 22, and fees for all licenses issued prior to that date will have to be collected the same as heretofore. ."We would advise you not to allow your various deputies in the different parts of the county to issue the li censes to Civil war veterans, but have them forward the applications to your office, so that the matter can be taken care of entirely from one source." Moose Initiate A large class was initiated into the local lodge of Loyal Order of Moose at Moose hall last night. The charter is still open and will continue so for some time. The local lodge of the order now has 120 members. Whooping Cough Well everyone knows the effect of pine forests on couih.

Science proves that tbe germs only thrive when the system is weakened from colds or sickness, overwork, confining duties or when general weakness exists. The best physicians point out that during changing seasons the blood should be made rich and pure and active by tak ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warms the body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly strengthens the lunR? and throat, while it upbuilds the resistive forces of the body to avoid colds and prevent consumption. If you work indoors, tire easily, feel languid or nervous, Scott's Kmulsion is the most strengtheningfood-medicine known. It is totally free from alcohol or any stupefying drug. Avoid substitutes.
