J.H.HEILBR0NNER&CO, HOOD K1VER i PORTLAND, OREGON MEETING OF THE COMMON COUNCIL TELEPHONE FRANCHISE GRANTED After Considerable Debate Sewer Was Ordered in District So. . On aoouut of there being no meet ing of tbe common couucii at Its first meeting night in tbe rcoutti, there was an accumulation of business re quiring leugtby spseiuu The Hood Kiver l iuit Supply Co., which baa purohuied several lots near tbe Fruit Grower iuiioii building, asked an abatement of tbe sewer as sessment on their lots, upon the ground that they were so much below tbe grade of tbe anwer that theyoould never be sewered. Xho matter was re fered to tbe sewer committee. J. W. Morton asked for refund ol sewer assessment paid on lota on State street, claiming that be did not own tbe property, the mattar was refened to the sewer committee. Ordinance No. 125, granting a fiau- ohise tn the N. W. Long Distance telephone uompany, came up for its second reading. Kepresentatives ol tbe oompauy were present and stated that tbey would spend from :W,000 to $50,000 in puttiing in an up to-date plant In Hood Kiver as soou as they were granted a franchise, aud while it would not be au automatic service, it would be tbe best staple party liue that could be installed. Tbey would give a live second service to start with, which would be reduced to a three teooud service soon after tbe ex change was in good working oidei. Tbe ordinances was passed granting tbem a franchise. A petition was presented from the Hood Kiver Banking & Trust Co. and others asking that the grade of Oak street be raised one toot on the noith side of tbe street, the two-foot fall as at present being a detriment to tbe main business street. The matter was refered to tbe street committee. Au ordinance against gambling wat introduced, aud attei some discussion was placed upon its final passage, with a unanimous vote in its favor. It appeal j that there was no city or dinance against gambliiDg, aud tbe measure was placed upon tbe ordi nance books to enable tbe city to reg ulate its own affairs in this regaid without asking assistance from the proseoutiug attorney. Jjetters were read (rom 1. V. t wee dy and Miss Steenberg in which they olaim that their buildings are not in the street, or aoross the line as estab lished by tbe county surveyor, on the bill, and they refuse to move theii buildings. This matter was brought up at a previous meeting in order to settle the disputed line on the hill The city has accepted tbe line as es tablished by the city engineer, aud a few buildings are over this line In the street. It will tt ke an action in court to deoide the matter, and if tbe prop erty owners in tbe disputed territory who are over the line do not move a suit will probably be brought to de termine tbe matter. The sooner tbe line is definitely settled by tbe oourt the better it will bo lor all, and tbe cheaper it will be, aa new buildings are constantly going up. No stieet grading or sidewalks cau belaid while tbe line is in dispute, and a friendly suit should be instituted at once to correot tbe error. Tbe matter of adding district No. 9 to the sewer was brought up. G. R. Castner was present and requested that it be done to allord relief to him self and others on bis street. Dr. 1 Edgiugtou, tbe health oilloer, also spoke in favor ot it, as he said that tbe present state of cees pools was a menace to health, and would soonei or later cause trouble. While tbe ma jority of tbe council wore iu favor of building the sewer only to tbe top ot tbe bill, tbeie is a question whether only a portion of any district could be sewered, and it was deoided to or der tbe whole district put in. Tbe sewer commute were Instructed to go through tbe regular form In ordering tbe'work done. The street committee reported that the oity engioeei advised that it would be neoessary to provide several general oidinauoes in regard to street grading before anything further could be done with Pine street. The judic iary committee woie instructed to get legaljadvioe on tbe matter and report. xne city recorjor reported tnat tbeie were many delinquents on tbe second sewer assessment, and the un paid lota and parcels or land were or dered advertised and sold according to law, to satisfy tne unpaid amounts.

Those who are lamlllar witb tbe highest attain ments ot this art state that Koy has been git log tbem first class service in every re pec t and that it has been highly profitable to tbe manager from a financial standpoint. Tbe platform was built In the shade of the big oak trees and tbe Soor wsw kept iu first class shape. Tbe moat excellent, be haviour was maintained throughout tbe seaaou.

That tbe North Dank rallioad will be ready to haul oat the 1907 wheat orop lrom its tributary territory is now tbe belter of people living along the line and who are acquainted witb the progress ot traoklaying there. Tbe traoklaying orewsarenow work ing opposite Umatilla and are making progress at the rate of two and a halt miles of new track per day. It is thought tbe line will be complete from Kenoewlok to The Dalles by September 1, when it will be opened to trade In time to haul out the bulk of tbe wheat crop along tbe line. The grade is practically completed from The Dalles eastward and the work of traoklaying will be rushed as fast as posssiblu. Over 200 men are employed iu the traoklaying gangs, and tbe work is being finished as fast as tbe rails are laid, so the road will be ready tor use as soon as the last spike is driven. Mammoth Hood Kiver Strawberries. We have read of big strawben ies. some ot tbem so many Inches iu oir cumteience that we had our doubts, but a Washington shipper takes tbe plum. "Better Fruit" contains an advertisement this week in which a two-borse truok appears loaded witb two Hood Kiver strawberries which take up tbe entire truok. A marked oopy was mailed to U4 by i Philadelphia firm with tbe following comment: "We rre under tbe impression that they are homes for aome of tbe west ern settlers Instead ot strawberries. If tbey are genuine strawberries, bow would you like being on the inside with plenty ot pulverized sugar and a lot of good, rich cream, tb-o start and eat your way out?" N. Y. Pro- duoe Keoord.

JUDGE NORTHUP WILL SPEAK HERE EVERYTHING IS IN READINESS Over $1000 la the Ihmds or tho Com mittee (ji rounds Have Been Se cared on the Heights. 1 Everything necessary for a first class Fourth of July celebration is now in leadiness. The committee on oratory bas been fortunate to secure the services ot Judge il. H. .North up, ot Portland. The jiulyo is one of the most eminent jurists in tbe state and a publio speaker of g e .t ability. This attraction aloue will u.erit yout pres ence at Hood Kiver on tbe Fourth. It is seldom that a city of our size Is able to secure such ecxelleut talent to deliver the Fourth of July address. Tbe oomittee having iu charge tbe arrangements of the grounds report that their work is going on without a bitob. Tbey bave secured tbe beauti ful grove on the heights just south of tbe city, and they are prepsriug to place it in the best of condition. The com ni i tee on sports is adding new attractions to the program daily. It is expected that the program of sports will far surpass anything ever otfered the Hood Kiver publio on an occasion ot this kind. Come and en joy tbe Fourth with us irrespective f class, color oi creed. It will mukeyou live louger. Twenty-lour ot the signets of tbe declaration ot independence were law yers, f out teen agriculturists, four physicians, nine merchants, one a manufacturer, one a clergyman, and tbiee bad prepaied tor tho calling of clergymen, but had chosen other vo cations.

You can have a better time iu Hood Kiver than Undo Joe Cannon states he bad iu tbe following excerp): "Hack ou the bunks of the Wubanh when 1 was a boy, the Fourth of July was celebrated by milking the cows, hoeing ooru aud weeding tbe vegeta ble garden. If wo were iu luck we got a chance to steal oil and go fish ing. "The Fourth of thoso old days is now only a memory. I prefer the Fourth of this modem, wonderful, plenteous, rich and intentive twen tieth century, when for a tew pennies the modern boy can buy novelties iu fireworks, skillful concoctions of chemicals and more or loss harmless noise makers to delight the boyish hoart such as boys ou tbe old pioneer farms iu earlv Illinois never dreamed existed outside the 'Arbiau Nights' tales." Memorize the following proverbs and be on hand to see tbe big parade. Accidents will happen in tho host regulated fireworks. A shot iu the gun Is worth two iu the hand. A little burning is a dangerous thing. He who shoots and runa away may live to shoot another day. Never look a gilt cannon In tbe mouth. Cannon crackers alter faces. One good burn deserves another. Patriotism covers a multitude of sins. Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to shoot, shoot with tby might. It's an ill bomb that blows up no body good. it's a wise father who knows his own ohildtbe day after. Uneasy lies the head that wears baudpgos. A living boy is better than a dead patriot. Never put off till tomorrow what you cau fire touight. Celebration is the thief of time. All's not oold that smolder i. A good aim is rather to be chosen than great stitches. Insurance is tho best policy. A new bomb swoops clean. Dead boys tell no tales. Kerry Pickers Making SS a Day.
