BUNTING WILD COWS
IN THE CASCADES
The Glacier feels fortunate in secur
ing C. B. Com p ton it correspondent
from the Dee Hat community. Mr
Com p ton is veteran newspaper man,
having served on the staffs of Hai.ila
newspapers for a number or yesrs
While be is capable of handling the
more serious side of newspaper work.
he also has a well developed nose for
news, and readers of the Dee items in
the Glacier have recently been rapidly
increasing because of the interesting
news stories contained therein.
Trie following, written by Mr. Comp
ton, ia a true story of a cattle hunt of
recent date in the Cascades of Hood
River county.
Thrills aplenty and a spectacular fin
ish attended the capture last Sunday of
two renegade yearling calvea Iron tne
Collins herd at Dee, which, lured away
from the herd by deer and then desert
ed when winter came, were brought In
Sunday evening. One with a bullet
through its heait was lashed to the
back of a pack horse; the other igno
minoiusy led home with a rope about
its neck.
Theee yearling cales-one heifer and
a steer are pure bred Jerseys from
the herd of R. A. Collins, which was
pastured last summer on the north aide
of the West Fork. When the herd was
rounded up tbia fall and brought to the
dairy ranch two yearlings were miss
ing. Later they were seen racing
through the foothils of Green Point
with a herd of Meet-footed deer, defy
ing all attempts to capture them. Un
willing that these animals should re
main ifi the woods all winter, at the
first fall of snow in late November
Collins organized an expedition of
neighbors, who, armed with rines, set
out in quest of tne vagabond pair.
Tracks were found and trailed, but upon
sight of the hunters the vagrants fled
wildly through brush and over fallen
logs to higher ground. Falling rain
melted the snow and the trail was lost.
Five separate expeditions were made
by Rancher Collins before success at
tended his efforts, and it is due largely
to his pluck and determination to cap
ture them dead or alive that the
brutes are now accounted for. So diffi
cult was the task of traveling along
the precipitous slopes of mountainside
that, with exception of Collins, the
personnel of the various expeditions
was different on each trip and only
those members who accompanied him
can appreciate the well nigh insur
mountable task of trailing wild cattle
in the Cascades at this season of the
year. Accompanied by a neighboring
rancher and equipped with a 25 20 cali
bre rifle Colilns set out last Saturday
for the fourth time in quest of the
calves. Late in the evening they were
located and after careful maneuvering
CollinB got close enough to try a shot
at the steer. Aiming at the heart he
let drive the animal fell, but in an in
stant was up and away, crashing
through the underbrush, but leaving a
trail of blood. Convinced that the
25-20 was not powerful enough, be re
turned home, resolved to procure a
higher powered gun and make one more
trip.
Enlisting the aid of Audubon Winans,
an experienced hunter and crack shot,
Collins and Winans set out Sunday
morning with Winan's Scotch collie for
a final round up, resolved to "bring in
the bacon," or stay in the woods, each
carrying 30-30 rifles. At high noon the
yearling Jerseys were sighted at their
usual feeding grounds. A careful re-
connoiter was made, the hunters cir
cling stealthily. Startled by the
breaking of a twig under Collins foot.
the steer started full tilt up the hill
towards Winans, the heifer running
back in the opposite direction. Sud
denly sighting Winans standing off to
the right of its headlong course, the
maddened steer, infuriated by the re
collection of the painful bullet of the
nreceeding day with lowered head and
increased speed, veered toward the
hunter in full charge. At a distance of
15 feet Winans let go a 30-30 bullet
aimed at the animal's heart. '1 he gal
loping steer fell with a crash, but in
an instant was up again and lunging
forward. Winans realized that his aim
had been true and that the quarry was
fatally wounded. A second later the
outlaw steer fell dead within a few feet
of his slayer.
Attracted by the barking of the
Scotch collie a few hundred yards dis
tant, the two huntsmen turned their
steps in that direction. Then followed
the bellowing of a distressed cow and
the two men rushed forward waist deep
n snow to respond to the dog s call.
braced against a fallen tree the trained
col Hie had the recreant heifer by the
tail. Struggling and unable to move
forward, the heifer fell. Instantly the
dog rushed forward and grabbed the
apostate calf by the nose and held it
securely until the two men arrived and
placed a strong rope about its neck.
Mr. uouins is a veteran ot tne Kug
by field, having been at one time a
member of the crack team of Santa
Clara College. When he thought hie
collie dog was not going to be able to
hold the wild cow. who was trying to
regain her feet, he leaped through the
air and tackled her around the fore
legs. The impact of his jump brought
the cow to the snow covered earth
again.
With a diamond hitch the steer was
strapped to the back of a horse; the
heifer meekly surrendered ard fol
lowed the triumphant procession back
to the CollinB ranch. After an absence
of three months from the herd, the
heifer soon renewed acquaintances, and
although furry coated and fat, seemed
overjoyed to be back with the bunch
and jostled a calf away from a bucket
of milk placed before it.
"Quick, Watsnn the needle."

If the fire bell should ring would yon
run and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? It is much the same way with
a cough A cough is a danger signal as
a fire bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell when
it is ringing, but should cue the disease
that causes the couching This can
nearly always be done by taking Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial results.
It is especially valuable for the persist

cold or an attack of grip. Mrs. Thomas
hseechine, Andrews, lnd., writes: "Dur

OVERLAND DEALERS'
CONVENTION SUCCESS
The Willys-Overland Co., of Toledo,
pulled off the greatest advertising
stunt ever attempted when they con
eeived the idea of entertaining their
agents from all over the United States,
during the month of Uecember. Invila
lions were issued for a two days' visit
at the big To If do plant. The invita
tions were extended to the Overlaid
deslers, their bankers and various
nesi aper men
Both C. F. Gilbert and H. T. De
Witt, Overland dealers for Hood River
counts, took sdvantsge of this invits
tion, and are enthusiastic in declarii k
there never was and never will be an
other trip like it. 1 be fun began when
the train of solid tollman ras left
Portland, and it was one round of
pleasure until the train arrived on tht
facinc again.
John N. Willys, resident of the
Overland Co., had arranged the the en
ire trip, and the two days at the fac
tory, accoridng to Gilbert & DeWitt.
were the most profitable days ever
spent by them.
The entire party was divided into
groups of eight or ten, and a guide con
ducted each group through the factory.
explaining each operation in automobile
manufacturing, space does not permit
us to give a detailed description of the
factory wonders as Gilbert DeWill
describe them, but they are buth full
of enthusiasm about the Overland cars
as a result of the trip.
Mr. Willys himself presided at the
two banquets given in honor of the Fa
cine coast dealt rs. He outlined the
sales policies and service plana of the
Overland Co. for the coming year, be
sidta giving advance information about
new models to be brought out by the
Overland Company.
Hood River received her share of ad
vertising on this trip. When the spe
cial train pulled into the depot here, il
was greeted by a delegation of Hood
Kiver business men, and all members
of the party received Hood River ap
ples, presented by several of our most
charming young ladies.
The editor of the Roseliurg Evening
News was a member of the party on
board th special, and evidently Hood
River made an impression on the party,
as the Evenir.g'News in writing up s
story of the trip makes the following
comments:
"On arriving at Hood River a dem
onstration of community boosting was
given that had no equal or rival alonp
the whole, route, enthusiastic and able
as many of them were. A great crowd
had assembled at the station and anion
them were over a score of rosy cheek en
lassies each with a large basket of tht
famous apples of Hood River in suffi
cient quantity that every member of
the excursion had both hands and pock
ets filled with the splendid fruit. Each
of the apples was separately wrapped,
the wrappers being labeled so then
could be no mistake that they camt
from Hood River. When the trait
started again, it was found that at
least ten full boxes were 0,1 board wilt
the compliments of Gilbert & DeWitt
It certainly was a splendid adveitiee
ment of the product that has made
Hood River famous."
SYLVESTER TO WED
TENNESSEE GIRL
The following item appeared in
Knoxville, Tenn., papers of Sunday,
December 10:
"Mr. and Mrs. Augustus W. Swindoll
snnounce the engagement' and ap
proaching marriage of their daughter,
Annie belle, to Wi.liam Merrick Syl
vester, of Hood River, Ore.
"Owing to the wide popularity of
the bride-to-be the ahove announce-
ent will prove of unusual interest.
Miss Swindoll is the talented daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Swindoll, of
this city, and on account of her sincere
manner and charming personality,
there are hosts of friends to regret her
marriage will take her to a distance
state.
Mr. Sylvester was formerly of Bos
ton, Mssb., but for the past ten years
he and his mother have made thcii
home in the west. He is a member of
the Multnomah club, of Portland, Ore
gon, and is connected with the Apple
Growers Association, located in Hood
River, Oregon, one of the largest shin-
ping interests of the Northwest.
"I he wedding will occur early in the
new year at the home of the bride-to-be's
aunt, Mrs. Samuel C. Lancaster,
in Portland, Ore., with whom Miss
Swindoll has spent considerable time
in recent years."
FRUIT EXCHANGE AN
NOUNCES NEW RECORD
UPPER VALLEY SNOW
TWO FEET DEEP
Three feet of snow have already fall
en at points of high altitude in the Up
er Valley, according to Homer A. Rog
ers, of Mount Hood Lodge, who passed
through Hood River last ween en route
to Portland.
"The snow has settled down now to
a depth of about two feet," says Mr.
Ropers, "and the snowshoeing and ski
ing are as fine as one would wish."
Mr. Rogers was visiting Portland to
make preparations for a number of
holiday parties expected to participate
in the winter sports on Mount Hood's
side. The enowfields of Mount Hood
bid fair to become as popular in the
winter months as in summertime, and
the Mount Hood Railroad Co. is pre
paring to inaugurate a special service
for the accommodation of Portland
people who wish to participate in ski
ing and snowshoeing.
Wancomic and George Disagree
(From Sksmania County, Wash., Pio
neer) When Waucomic was shown the
weather prognostications of that Hood
River savage who predicted the snow
would be "two squaws deep by Christ
mas." he laughed and said "wake
cumtux," and predicted there would
not be much snow this year. "Mebbe
half a squaw in January, mebbe not fo
much." Waucomic is our aborignee
weather prophet for this part of the
country. There seems to be either a
decided diffe.ence of opinion in our
Indian weather forecasters or a decided
difference in the snowfall between
Hood River and this place, only 20
miles apart and both on a level with
the Columbia river. We never cared
much before about the aize of a squaw,
whether she was long or short, fat or
lean, but now we are glad that a large
majority of tbera are decidedly short
and stubby, for it makes a difference
of several inches in our snowfall.

The Northwestern Fruit Excbsnge is
oi t with an interesting report showing
that out of a total of 2057 cars handled
b; the Excharge this sesson, up to No

in full to the growers on 1552 cars, or.

Hi ures I). H. White, treasurer of the
Exchange, says: "The Exchange's
pieviuus records for prompt f. 0. b.
Bblea and quick cash returns have all
oeen shattered this yesr, ar d we have
stt up a new record which will not be
ehey for even ourselves to beat. The
rteord of 27 days average between the
si ipment and the cash is possible only
because of the f. o. b. sales system
employed by the Excharge. It would
be impossible under any form of con
signment. All but a negligible per
centage of the cars were sold before
shipment (a large percentage before
harvest) at firm prices fully known to

era in 201 different domestic and for
eign markets, on terms cash against

average includes the foreign shipments
also. We would even have lowered
this 27 day record had the railroads
made their customary time. As it was,
cars have taken an unusually long time
this year to reach destination, due, no
doubt, to congested terminals, shortage
of motive power, etc.
"The Exchange machinery this year,
while carrying the heaviest load in its
bistorv. has run more smoothly than
ever before and the Exchange could
easily have cleared several thousand
more cars without embarrassing the
oragnization in the slightest. Hsd it-
not. been for the car shortage, the ex
change could easily have cleared its
entire tonnage and closed its accounts
with the growers by or before January
1st."
HOOD RIVER MAY GET
RECRUITING STATION
Members of the Commercial club and
local business men have petitioned Or
egon recruiting headquarters, of Port
land, to establish the proposed new re
cruiting office planned for some point
between Pendleton and Portland at this
city Activity on the part of the local
men was stimulated by suggestions
trom Sergeants Leland S. Ueveridge,
Wallace Fore and W. A. Kinney, who
have been here the past several days
seeking new material for the Regular
army.
while Ihe Dalles is making a strong
ppeal for the new recruiting office.
the visiting recruiting men declare that
Hood River, despite the fact that its
population is materially smaller than
that of Ihe Dalles, ia more favorvably
located for a canvassing of numerous
small points on both Bides of the stream
in the mid Columbia river district. The
fact that Hood River has a military
organization, the Twelfth Company,
Coast Artillery Corps, Uregon National
Guard, it is stated, also causes army
men to look more favorably on the lo
cation ot the new station here.
CLUB ASKS ROAD-
MASTER APPOINTMENT
The Commeroial club wants 1 road-
master for Hood River county the com
ing year, following the news in Port
land papers that the convention of
county commissioners has recommended
that supervisors and roadmasters be
Jone away with and a greater power in
road matters be vested in the county
court, Secretary Scott, of the club,
last week wired County Judge Stanton
who attended the Portland meeting
urging him on his return to give the
East Side road, connecting the city
with orchard districts east of Hood
Kiver, immediate attention. The tel
egram concluded with the statement
that Hood River county citizens
wanted a roadmaster next year.
At a recent special meeting called
oy the county court the recommenda
tion that a county roadmaster be ap
pointed for next year, was adopted.
Ihe East Side road, formerly a
waterbound macadam, was improved
by a surfacing of gravel this fall.
Ihe road made a very favorable im
pression until the heavy traffic of apple
wagons began. It has since become
well nigh impassable, according to
Secretary Scott.
