THE MINSTREL SHOW
BEYOND EXPECTATION

serious

Portia
i The minstrel tihow given at Heii
I Ironner's hall last Thursday night
'. under the auspices of the Woman's
; Alliance of the Unitarian church sur
I passed expectations and was one of the
i most ente-taminK events cf its kind
ever seen in Hood Hiver. Professional
minstrels and singers and entertainers
I of many years before the footlights
J could nut have teen better. Everybody
! Inured. Ihe big audience had its
: first inkling of what was coming when
James Ernestine Montgomery, as
chef with fuhe mustaches pirouetting
! around his ears, in a 1 loonier-French
I patois announced that a troop of black
bojs would dispense sweets through
i the audience.
I The curtain arose on the minstrel
! troop mainly composed of Booster Club
boys, who were singing " Carry Me
Hack to Old Virginia." The Booster
boys, for a first performance, pre
sented themselves well in minstrel
jokes and songs. Especially good was
the number of Lulver Usgood, who, in
his rich, deep voice, sang "Lindy."
The minstrel circle was followed by
the Booster yuartet.
While the audience was watching
the curtain, awaiting it to arise on the
next scene, a chorus of voices at the
rear of the hall cried melodiously
"Come on and Hear!" and Dad Epping
led in his troop of gay chorus girls
who promenaced up and down the
aisles of the hall, continuing the song
Mr. Epning was adorned in a frock
coat and silk hat. When he lifted the
"toppee" even the top of his head
shown glisteningly black. As the
trooped onto the stage, Mrs
Boyden, representing an old,
minded, colored parson in
more dignified than that of
when she walked into the
court-room to save the pound of flesh
of her lover from the greed of Shylock
brought up the rear, the leader of
the chorus in his rich voice sane, "O,
You Beautiful Doll," and dancing to
the music, he and Mrs. McCan showed
unsophisticated Hood Hiver how to
gracefully step the "Orizly Bear,
"Texas Tommy," "The Mississippi
Dip and Ihe Louisiana swirl.
Mrs. Boyden, who is an elocutionist
of no small merit, preached a sermon,
the members of the chorus as her con
gregation, and "Old Mother Hubbard"
as tier text. If all negro preachers in
Dixie Land hud been there, their envy
would have been aroused, for Mrs.
Boyden out-orated the most excellent
of them.
One of the decided hits of the even
ing of headliner performances was the
song and dance skits of Clarence Gil
bert and Arthur Clarke, who also
injected into the atmosphere, already
surcharged with fun, local color squibs
that increased the interest. "How can
I get to the hospital?" asked Clarke.
"Let's see," replied Gilbert, scratch
ing his head, "why, go up on the
Heights and give three cheers for the
Hood River Gas and Electric Com
pany. 1 II tell you another wav.
said Clarke, "go to a city council meet
ing and give three cheers for Batchel-
der."
So good was the final dance of this
funny, fat couple that they were en
cored until they had danced so much
that at a linal curtain call, husky stage
hards had to bear them before the
footlights to receive their merited
applause.
It You talk in Your Sleep, Please
Don't Mention My Name." sang Miss
Constance Henderson, in a comic Cindv
costume, as she walked down from the
stage and with a small pocket electric
lamp sought for a some one to sing to.
Count de Reding wus the lad chosen.
With a display of unwillingness he was
led to the stage and joined the song
anu ounce.
One of the cleverest skits of the
evening was that participated in by
uapt. ana Mrs. Mcan.
Ihe captain, in one of the best cos
tumes of the evening, was moving,
He came on the stage dragging i
steamer trunk and Bob Carter's bull
dog. While he sang, the dog guarded
the trunk, from which in a moment
dainty little Mrs. McCan emerged and
she and Mr. MeUaii enertuined the
audience with song and dance.
Among the most pleasing numbers
of the show were the songs bv Mrs
Henney and Mrs. Sletton. Both have
delightfully sweet voices and their
songs were thoroughly enjoyed.
The minstrel circle was as follows
Rev. II. A. MacDonald, interlocutor;
lami)., Herbert Phillips and C:irl Kent
bones, Walter Ford and Earl Franz;
quartet, Gessling, Spuulding, Ford and

CALIFORNIA PRODUCES
GREAT LEMON CROP
California's lemon crop this year'
will be one of the largest since the l
culture of that fruit was first inaug-l
urated in this state. At the present
time the lemon growers of the state
estimate minimum crop of 5oO0 car-
loads. Up to and including the last I
day of February 1341 carloads had
already been shipped this year and the
remainder of the crop will be moved
just quickly as cars can be provided.
The usual loss to the lemon crop
each year on account of frosts was
very small in this state this season,
seme of the growers predict as heavy
a season as last year.
California can supply lemons to
every part of the United States and it
will not be necessary for the importa
tion of one case of this fruit, is the
way members of the California Citrus
Fruit Growers Exchange expressed
themselves regarding the 1911-12 lemon
crop.

Fortunate Rural Carrier.
Doubtless no rural carrier was ever
received with greater enthusiasm by
his patrons than was J. F. Cadee, who
has just inaugurated the rural free
delivery service in the upper Hood
River valley. On the day Mr. Candee
made his lirst trip, it was almost im
possible for him to make the roads.
His patrons all met him with refresh
ments, and he was fed bountifully
until it was impossible to cat more.
He states that if they continue this
treatment his position will be the
envy ot all rural carriers over the
country. -The Telegram.
Now is the time to bnv cheap slab
wood. A.C. Lofts, phone olti-X.
While turtles do not have fins, this
story has a sufficient twang of imagin
ation to be included under the above
title. It is a thrilling story. It was
told by a man from South Carolina,
who was passing through the city re
cently. If he has further development
in the art of story telling Jules Verncs
will have a worthy rival.
The man who reeled off the yarn is
the son of a Sea Island cotton planter
in the coast country of bouth Carolina.
"Not far from our home," he said,
there was a small creek that emptied
ihto a little salt water bayou that ex
tended into the Atlantic Not far from
the mouth of this creek the routs of an
enormous cypress tree jutted out into
the stream. At this very pqint, we
boys had a swimming pool. We had
bully times there; often when we went
to the stream we would have to run the
little 'goetche niggahs' out. Then,
believe me, we had fun. Those little
coons, aligator bait, as an old uncle of
mine used to call them, were regular
water dogs and often with our bodies
covered with mud, we would have to
go for reinforcement.
Well, where the roots of the tree
jutted over into the stream a bank of
earth was held up, but as the roots
extended down through the current
into the bed of the creek, all of the
earth was washed .away. By diving
we boys had discovered an admirable
place for the adventures of youth and
with the aid of big jack knives had
cut away a subterranean chamber.
When the tide was out a part of the
floor of the chamber was not covered
with water and we often used to con
gregate there, and in the hollow of the
tree, which extended a short way up,
we guarded as a treasure chamber.
I have always wondered why I went
to sleep on the day of the adventure.
will always believe it was due to
something that 1 smoked; we boys
were just learning the use of the
weed. Anyhow, the other boys left
me there in the land of slumber, 1
w as awakened by the lapping of the
water over my feet. The tide had
arisen and I was trapped. However,
that made no difference, and I made
ready to dive through the opening in
the roots, when my attention was at
tracted by a snapping noise at the
opening, it seemed that some huge
monster was tearing the big roots to
pieces. My first thought was that it
was an alligator there. But I knew
that no 'gator had been seen in that
creek for many years, else we bovs
would not have made such free use of
the swimming pool. That it was a
shark was my next guess, still a shark
had never been known to come that
far up. the stream. In a twinkling I
was the most frightened lad in South
south Carolina and cried out 'Mama!'
"Ihe noise ceased, as if the maker
of it was listening in the endeavor to
learn where the peculiar cry had come
from. The tide was rapidly rising.
The hollow of the tree was never filled
with water, but it was doubtful if I
could get my body into the small space.
1 tried it and found that if I remained
in such a position long I would go
crazy ; besides the atmosphere was
becoming very close. I grasped one of
the knives that we used in cutting
away the roots. My hand touched the
knife as 1 was trying to tear away
more of tho wood in the hollow of the
tree. The grasp of the steel seemed to
give me new courage. Whatever was
at the entrance of our cavern, I made
up my mind that would brave it. 1
seized the knife and diving along the
bottom of the cavern floor, pushed fast
for the entrance. The entrance seemed
entirely closed by borne big bulky
body, 1 felt the scrape of heavy dull
claws on my right hand in which the
knife was held. Then something seized
my left shoulder, don't know how I
kept from screaming and strangling,
but freeing my hand from underneath
the claws, 1 brought tho knife into
play to tree my shoulder. The pain
was terrific. Suddenly I realized that
I was in the grasp of a monster tur
tle's jaws. 1 raked the knife furiously
across the protruded neck. It seemed
that I would have to saw forever. My
lungs were bursting and my head ring
ing when the turtle loosed me. I
darted back into the cavern and filled
my lungs with the impure air. Still I
thought that 1 would smother, and
knew that 1 must reach the open at
mosphere. All this time the wildest
commotion reigned at the side of the
entrance. However, as swift as pos
sible 1 darted through the hole and
arose to the surface of the stream.
"The next day, after I had told my
stories to the boys, we visited the
place and found a huge sea turtle lying
several feet away from the entrance
to tne cavern. Although his throat
was cut he was not dead. We
captured him, cured the wound and
used him to draw our boat up and
dawn the bayou."
A quartet of Hood River men jour
neyed to Bonneville Sunday to see the
fish hatchery, so they said. However,
bubbling over with enthusiasm that
had been aroused in hint! one of the
men released the secret. They had
been watching a chicken fiRht. It
is declared that the little red game
cock was decidedly the winner, when
the Hood River contingent was forced
to catch tne Jiomebound local. How
ever, the fellow, who couldn t keep
from takling about it, was the only one
who had placed any money on the lit
tle chicken.
One of the most interesting incidents
of the early sturgeon fishing along the
Columbia at this point was omitted in
last week s Glacier, aecordintg to Geo.
1. Prather. John Dye, the early fish
erman, oftentimes, instead of killing
his hooked sturgeons, would take them
to a deep pool in the Hood river just
low town and stake them out, just
as one ties a mule or a horse. I
have seen as many as ten fishes thus
tied in the stream," says Mr. Prather.

About Substitution
If you wanted to buy oak lumber and the man delivered
yellow pine, ou would know the difference.
If you wanted to buy silk and they sent you calico, you
w ould have no trouble in seeing the substitution.
It is not fo easy, however, with medicine. A great many
medicines look alike and taste alike, BUT THEY DON'T ACT
ALIKE. Just think this oyer the next time you want medi
cines. Remember that at our store you can absolutely rely on
every drug we sell. The difference between buying medicines
ainWmerohandise is the difference between knowledge and be
lief. You know the one but you have to believe in the other.
You will he absolutely safe when you put your belief in us.
