Tba shipments are principally of the Tartarian variety, and are being hipped to pointa in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. "The demand ia good and prices which we are receiving are good." stated Manager ChatHeld yesterday. "The cherries are fine in site and many compliment hava been made by buyers concerning the good quality and pack." The growers expect to commence picking Koyal Annea for the cannery on Monday. The association will com mence shipping Bings Friday or Satur day, and this variety will be followed by the Black Republicans and Lamberts the last of next week. On Tuesday the association received their new Fairbanks-Morse warehouse scales. The maximum weight is 2500 pounds. The scales were inspected Wednesday by the county scaler, of The Dalles, and found to be true and accur ate in every respect. A new door has been cut in the south end of the ware house in front of the scales, to enable the growers to unload their fruit on the scales with considerable more fa cility than formerly.

The Glacier will be very glad to have fishermen ami hunters give an account of their experiences to this column of the paper. If you hear a story or a good joke, report it. A story conies from the fair that rivals the famous squirrel story of Ernest Bloom in 1913, when a squirrel stole up on him when asleep'out at Scott's ranch, and ate up his hair. Last Monday morning Kavlin found several apples displaced, and bitten into, be sides several others in the exhibit which had been bitten. He looked all around the Multicultural building to find the miscreant, and hearing a noise above the big apple, discovered a silver gray squirrel running around the sup porting beams. Sumomning assistance they rounded Mr. Nut up into a corner and clapped a box over him. Later it was learned he had escaped from the Oregon Game exhibit in the Oregon building, several blocks away, over two weeks previous. He had probably trav eled all over the grounds before finding what he was looking for a Hood River apple. Although here was displayed plenty of fruits in other booths, noth ing was discovered to show that he cared for any of them. But when he reached the apple that beat them all, he stopped and availed himself of the privilege. Word was received later that a Commercial club circular issued in 1913 telling of the glories of the Hood River valley, and a few of which Ravlin had with him, had been found in the squirrel cage at the Oregon build ing. Last Sunday great excitement reigned at Brae Croft, the home of Alfred Cox. Miss Helen Cox and Miss Etheljane McDonald started up the flume to Ditch creek; but before going they were informed that rattlesnakes infested the woods, and that Milton Smith, the ditch walker, had killed a small one the previous evening. So they armed themselves with sticks, though they did not expect to encoun ter a snake. After walking a half mile and seeing nothing more interesting than vast areas of poiEon oak, they decided it would have been better had they armed themselves with peroxide to guard against it rather than vs. the snake. - Well suddenly they came upon a huge rattler, coiled and hissing, within four feet of them. No scream I They calmly knocked the snake into the near by flume to stun it, then lifting it out on the bank they applied their sticks most forcibly. The young ladies jubi lantly returned with their prize, which measured two feet, six and one-half inches in length and four inches in thickness. It had nine rattles and a button. At Twin Oaks farm west of the city Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Blythe had a pet turkey hen. The old lady turkey was a mother and a grandmother. She was 10 years old and for the past six years one of her spring duties has been to hatch and rear a brood of little "peep peeps." As on former years the old turkey was recently set on a nest full of speckled eggs. With her usual ma ternal spirit she carefully guarded the nest, listening for the first'pip" of the little birds. But now the Blythes are grieving and the old turkey hen is gone a ma rauding tramp, as is supposed, stole turkey hen, nest, eggs and all. "I suppose they made a meal of our old pet," says Mr. Blythe. "But I am sure that she was pretty tough eating." Hark ! An honest fisherman is speak ing." "Last week," says Oscar.Van derbilt, "I drove 41 miles and fished in all the best places up the Hood riv er. I didnt' catch a fish. 1 didn't even get a nibble." Trouble is lurking on the heels of fishermen who have been spearing salmon as they pass over the falls at the Devil's Punch Bowl. It is reported that men, armed with long spears, line each side of the falls and spear the big fish as ff-st as they leap from the eddying whirlpool below. At their regular monthly meeting last week the Hood River County Game Protective Association endorsed the appointment of W. O. Hadley, of The Dalles, as deputy game warden for Wasco and Hood River counties. The local game organization members voiced a strong protest against the re appointment of L. S. Fritz, of The Dalles, who formerly served in the ca pacity of game warden. William Stewart, Ralph Root, Dr. E. D. Kanaga and C. C. Carpenter left Tuesday for the Metoliua, where they will spend the remainder of the week fishing. This trip is an annual event for these nimrods. Mr. and Mrs. D. McDonald, accom panied by Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moe, motored to the Toll bridge Sunday af ternoon, where fishing was enjoyed. Mr. McDonald caught the fish and Mr. Moe enjoyed the sport. C. B. Harper and Frank Davenport, Jr., c.tught a number of nice trout Sunday on Hood river. For Rubber Stamps, Pad and Ink, call at the Glacier office. Prompt ser vice and workmanship guaranteed.

AUTUMN STOCK SHOW PROPOSED A number of the orcfcardists of the East Side, who have directed attention for the past two years to stock raising, are now making a campaign to secure sentiment for a stock show here this fall. Dozens of pure bred hires, both swine and cattle, have been imported in the past year. Many of the orch ardists are breeding only registered an imals, and it is probable that in no community in the state are ranchers psying as much attention to the qual ity of cows and hogs as the Hood River fruit growers. I 1 I I 1 1 1 1 I l- I- l l- l -I l-l .M-H-M-l-M- APPLE NOTES "The greatest apple orchard in America," is the way the A. A. Mar shall farm at Fitchburg, Mass., is de scribed by those who have seen it. The Marshall farm is just outside the city of Fitchburg on the slopes of a hill. About a half mile away on an other hill is the state norma! school. Bewteen the two is a valley and for some distance away before one ap proaches the farm can be seen the long rows of apple trees set out in equal distances apart, perfect lines on the slopes of the hill running dmn into the valley. And these trees were all of one height apparently, and each was covered with about the same number of blossoms. The apple trees were not the sort the fellow from the city haB pictured in his mind's eye, large trees with cows quietly chewing their cuds beneath them, nor the sort the popular song tells about. The Marshall trees are small, of uniform height and com pact, with the blossoms running down the branches to within a few inches of the trunk, not all on the tops and Bides. They may not be as romantic as the apple trees of one's fancy, but ap ple growing or culture today, as one may glean by talking with Mr. Mar shall, is something more than romance. The Marshall farm is something like 26 years old as a commercial farm proposition. To show the work that has been accomplished, not to mention the getting of the soil, itself, in proper conuition, more than 9,000 boulders have been dislodged. At present there are 4,500 Mcintosh Reds, 1,200 Bald wins, BOO Wealthies and the rest" in Sutton Beauties, Gravensteins and De licious, 8,000 in all this coniprUes the present complement of the Marshall farm. The Marshalls sell their apples, which are admittedly the last word in apple culture, in boxes. The Mcintosh Reds have won many prizes at exhibits and fairs and are conceded to be incom parable. A. A. Marshall is now in his seven tieth year, and while he doesn't depre cate all ideas of theorizing as advanced by agricultural colleges, he believes that experieuce, study and hard work are what is mainly required of a man who would make his apples, or any fruit in fact, the best possible. Books are all right in their places, he thinks, but the orchard is the place to plan, to dream and to work. James M. Silcox had succeeded How ard Fletcher as manager of the Grand Junction, Colo., Fruit Growers' Associ ation. The agency will market its fruit through Ha own trade channels this year, instead of affiliating with any central selling agency. Get Rid of Your Rheumatism Now is the time to get rid of your rheumatism, You can do it if you ap ply Chamberlain's Liniment. W. A. Lockhard, Homer City, N.

Guignard Files on River State Engineer Lewis last Saturday issued a permit to August Guignard, of Hood River, according to a dispatch, foi the appropriation of 400 second feet of water from Hood river for the de velopment of 2273 horsepower at a cost of $300,000. Power will be developed at a point where the farmers' ditch crosses Hood river, and the dam will be so located as to eliminate the flume of the ditch company above that point. Water for the irrigation system will be diverted over the dam. To Sleep Well in Summer Slight inflammation of the bronchial tubes causes a distressing cough and makes refreshing sleep impossible.

FLETCHER PLACE A MASS OF BLOOMS A mas of blossoms, one of the pret tiest sight in the valley, may be seen now at the Oakdale greenhouses, the East Side place cf Fletcher & Fletch er. Thirty-five hundred assorted colora of peonies are now at their best, and thousands of rare rose plants are bear ing exquisite buds and full Down blos soms. The beauty of Oakdale is en hanced, too, by hundreds of old fash ioned flowers. The vivid color of the gardens around the Fletcher borne ia noted by every tourist that travels out the Fast Side road. The dahlias and gladiolii at Oakdale will form a show this season. On ac count of the European war the Holland florisU.were unable as usual to dispose of their rare bulbs in France and Eng land. The wholesalers made low'ratea to American growers, and Fletcher Fletcher ordered 50.000 bulb from the foreign houses. The shipment came across the Atlantic and the United States in vety quick time. The order was sent on March 15. The bulb weie shipped from Rotterdam on April 3. It was expected that they would come from New York by fast freight. How ever, after examining them, agents there shipped them by express, and they arrived on April 25. Six thousand of the recent and rare varieties of dahlias will bloom at Oak dale greenhouse grounds this fall. Sundaj Will Preach at Parkdale To the People of the Upper Valley : On June 13 Rev. Wm. A. Sunday will preach at Parkdale at 10.30 a. m. The service will be held in the grove or in Mclsaac's hall, depending on conditions. I want to emphasize the importance and significance of this occasion to every resident and visitor in our valley. The unparalleled results of Mr. Sun day's work place him among the world leaders of today. Like all leaders in any department of life he is criticised and opposed. The message he delivers, like the Bible he uses as hi authority. is not comforting to some people. '1 hese will very naturally retaliate by criti cism and ridicule. Others who agree with the message find fault with the methods of the work. But when the lethargy of the church and the indiffer ence of the world outside the church are broken as they have been, is not method a secondary consideration? When I have given thousands of men a new vision of life and its meaning have led them to a faith that makes new men of them have heard them confess Christ as Savior and seen them make Him King, then, perhaps, I might ask Mr.Sunday to do his work in a way to please me. Yet should 1 do it then? "No man can do these thingB except God be with him." Let us make the service of next Sun day a matter of prayer, during these intervening days, and come together prepared for the great blessing that awaits us with the coming to our little valley of this servant of His whom God has so largely used. W. L. Van Nuys. Only A Few Can Go Those who are so fortunate that ex pense does not have to be considered are now going to health resorts to get rid of the Impurities in the system that cause rheumatism, backache, swollen, aching joints and stiff, painful muscles.

Road Will Soon Be Open A communication from a subscriber at Cascade Locks, writing on the condi tion of the portions of the Columbia river highway which were considered to be open previous to the expenditure of the $75,000 bond issue, received re cently reads as follows: "An auto will find the road from Cas cade Locks to Wyeth and to Lindsay creek in fair condition, and no work is being dune on this part now. On to Willmms creek the road is in bad shape in places. Williams creek bridge will be completed by June 5, but cannot be used for a few days after that time, as it must dry out. When the drying is over one can get through to Eagle creek, upon which portion of the road they are now rushing work."

WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good. To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building-tonic, free arom alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it. Scott & Bowue, Bluunifirld. N J COTTAGE HOSPITAL Hood River's Medical Institution Open to the public for treat ment of Medical and Surgi cal cases.
