STATE TO INVESTI
GATE BURNETT CASE
Charles Harnett, former attendant
at the Pendleton insane hospital, re
icntly held to the irrand jury here on a
charge of manslaughter because of
cbargM of cruelty in the treatment of
Louis Topich, violently insane patient
who died in this county while Jbeing
transported from Portland to Pendle
ton aboard an U.&-W. K. & N. train
hopes to gain his freedom on bail,
fixed at $1,000, at least by Christmas.
The prisoner, a man just past 50 years
old, has won the respect of City Mar
shal Hart and other local officials be
cause of his ceaseless courtesies and
gentlemanly conduct.
"He is a model prisoner, " declares
Mr. Hart, "and apparently, from the
letters he himself has received and
those that have come to me, bears the
sincere respect and regard from all
those with whom he has been associ
ated in the past. While Mr. Burnett
faces charges for cruel and inhuman
treatment of the patient who died on
the train, he has the reputation of
having been an extremely kindly man.
Certainly, none of his actions here
would indicate him to be of brutal ten
dencies. "
The local officials are awaiting with
interest the results of an investigation
asked by Dr. W. L). McNary, superin
tendent of the Pendleton hospital, who
Saturday instructed the stHte board of
control to thoroughly probe the case.
Jt is believed that fellow members of
the hosiptal staff would long ago have
raised Mr. Burnett's bail but for the
fact that their action might be taken
as an indication of hindering process
of law in a properly instituted criminal
prosecution.
"I am confident that I will ultimate
ly be relieved of the embarrassing
charges," Bays Mr. Burnett. "Despite
all of the unsavory notoriety that I
have received, I have a clear con
science. Testimony at the coroner's
inquest indicated that my patient died
from hemorrhage due to internal rup
ture. It was ,declared that it seemed
impossible that the man could have in
jured himself in this fatal manner. In
fact he killed himself by his violence.
1 do not wish the case ended until it
has been thoroughly threshed out. I
welcome the fullest in estimation as a
matter of fairness to myself."

Ford Garage Being Improved
Improvements on an extensive scale
are under way at the Ford garage, op
erated by the Dickson Motor Co. The
interior of the plant has been repaint
ed. The big shop, which makes a spe
cialty of handling work on Ford ma
chines, has been rearranged in accord
ance with standard specifications of
the Ford company.
The concern has found the enclosed
sedan and coupe type of Ford very
popular here, and several of these ma
chines have been sold the past few
weeks despite the paralyzing effect of
weather conditions on the automobile
business.

An appeal was made through the
Tuesday Lunch club at its weekly
luncheon when City School Superin
tendent Cannon delivered an address,
to have the citizens of Hood River ob
serve national educational week by vis
iting the schools. Mr. Cannon urged
that patrons of the schools not merely
visit a single grade and hear children
in one recitation. He asked that they
make a systematic Btudy of the school
work from the primary to high school
grades.
Schools of the city, Mr. Cannon stat
ed, spent $90,000 fast year, or more
than twice as much as was demanded
for the expenses of the municipal gov
ernment in alj its departments.
Guests introduced at the session
were: H. K. Love, of the Lumber
men's Trust Co., of Portland; H. H.
Schofield, chief engineer of the P. P.
& L. Co., of Portland, and the con
cern's district manager, J. B. Kilmore,
of The Dalles.
The meeting was begun by the sing
ing of America, followed by grace,
said by Rev Bodily. Chief features of
the luncheon, held at the Columbia
Gorge hotel, were solos by Don Metz- j
gus, who was accompanied by Miss
Sara Howes. Forty-nine business and
professional ' men visited the resort
hostelry despite the gloomy weather.
Harry Farrell was chairman of the
day. He urged that local folk partici
pate in national education week.
Conucil Wants New Snow Ordinance
Members of the city council are at
variance over the propriety of adopt
ing more stringent rules for the regu
lation of removing snow from streets.
Although two weeks have elapsed since
the recent heavy sleet storm, many
sidewalks still remain covered with
drifts. Some of the couneiimen de
clare that ordinances should give the
city authorities the abitrary power of
cleaning up the snow, where property
owners do not use due diligence, and
charge the cost to the property. The
exponents of such a measure, too, de
clare that owners of buildings from
whose roofs snow is removed and piled
in huge heapB in the street, should be
made to remove it. In case of another
fall of snow here, it is said, streets
would be congested and in places to
tally blocked by snowbanks.

Christmas cards, printed just as you
wish them at tho Glacier office.

DAVENPORT WILL
SELL BISON MEAT
Hood River folk will have an oppor
tunity the coming Christmas of serv
ing buffalo roasts as a substitute for
turkey or the customary mast beef.
A. F. Davenport has ordered a bison
I from one of the country's noted buffalo
j ranches, located in South Dakota.
The carcass will arrive with the hide
on. It will be displayed by Mr. Dav
enport in a big show window, and it is
I expected to create a great interest, aa
I many people have never seen a bison,
much less having had an opportunity
I to eat the flesh of the famed prairie
' animal.
The buffalo carcass will be shipped
j here by the famous Scotty Philips
! ranch, where buffalo are raised by tne
thousand. The ranch has 10,000 acres.
and the animals are allowed to range
in the wild state. The noted ranch
has been supplying circuses and zoos
with buffalo for the past decade. Yel
lowstone and Glacier National Fark re
ceived their initial herds from the
ranch.
Liberty Robbers Liked Apples
Mr. and Mrs. John Printer and son,
Andrew, participants in the Portland
Liberty theatre robbery, left an un
savory reputation here when they com
pleted work in the apple harvest on
the place of A. E. Jakku. The trio
were observed forwarding to out of
town points boxes of unpacked Deli
cious apples. The fruit of their choice,
although shipped in the jumble state
like cooking grade product, was al
ways of the larger sizes and perfect
grade.
Mr. Jakku investigated and learned
that his Delicious were missing. He
immediately accosted the elder Printer.
At first the man. it is stated, made a
flat denial of having taken any apples.
He then owned up to having forwarded
the apples, but claimed that they had
been taken from the orchard of a
neighbor of the Jakku family. Mr.
Jakku then cited that the neighbor had
no Delicious trees, and thoroughly
trappd. Printer confessed in full, ac
cording to Mr. Jakku.
cern is employing about 1K) men and
women, the largest winter payroll in
the valley. Yesterday l.(KH) gallon
cans of apples, packed under variety
labels of the concern were turned out.
The concern is now concentrating on
foreign ehipments, which move for
ward by way of the Panama canal
from Portland.

Snow Ties l!p Locks
The recent snow storm tied un the
locks at the Cascades, the heavy drifts
of snow and sleet, blocking the spring
from which the locks receive a supply
of water to operate hydraulic machin
ery. Employes of the government,
donning snowshoes and carrying tools
at great inconvenience, hiked into tin
hills, where they noon relieved the
congestion and permitted the water to
flow back into pipelines again.
