Editoi .Manages Subscription, $1.50 a Year in Advance Entered as second- lass matter. Fro, 10. 190S, at the past office at Hood River. Oregon, under the Act of March a. 187. The Water Problem It now seems as if the odious water fipht. which has caused strife and bitterness among Hood River residents and injury to the city, as well as depriving it of a much needed increased and bet ter water supply, is about to be eliminated. The proposal of the water company to enter into a friendly condemnation suit to de termine its proper value which has been accepted by the council and the details of which are pub lished in another column, is un doubtedly a fair adjustment of the matter and also a logical one. The feature of the company's proposition that should particu larly appeal to all is the fact that the city will not be asked to pay more than a maximum price for the plant ($42,500) no matter what value the court may place on it, although the company will accept less if the verdict so de termines. The council in deciding to ac cept this proposal has most as suredly taken a wise step and we feel assured that they will have the unqualified support of every citizen who has the best interests of the town at heart in bringing this matter to a speedy termina tion. It will probably be necessary to vote bonds to take care of the purchase price before the case is decided, and it is to be earnestly hoped that the taxpayers will heartily support the issue, When it is taken into considera tion that the amount asked for is of small consequence as com pared with the crying need for a more adequate water supyly, we do not think there will be any hesitancy for a concerted move ment to supply the necessary funds. The adjustment of this vexed question is again to be placed in the hands of the people and un less we are mightily mistaken they are going to wipe it off tha map this time forever. Once More Good Roads The News' Portland letter says-' "Good roads throughout Oregon is a subject that will in future receive a great deal of at tention from the Oregon Devel opment League. Besides having a good roads day at the Astoria convention, August 14, 15, and 16, the League will take up highway betterment actively and the offices of secretary Chap man of the League will be head quarters for the good roads movement." This is indeed refreshing. Af ter four years of pulling and hauling we are now to have two more years of agitation for pub lic highways under the auspices of the Oregon Development Lea gue. The League must be given credit for having a lot of cour age after the recent battle during the sessions of the legislature. We presume, however, that Man ager Chapman has consulted the Grange before starting his cam paign, otherwise the Develop ment League may as well go out of business at once. NORTHWEST NOTES Ashland will hold its annual Chautauqua Assembly July -18. The talent offered this year is of a high order and the forthcom ing session will attract people from all parts of Southern Ore gon. Portland was visited by an Eastern flax expert the past week, who expressed surprise that more attention is not paid to this crop in Oregon. He praised the quality of the flax he found here as being superior to that found elsewhere, either in this country or abroad, and hopes to see the day when a great linen industry will be built up and farmers generally throughout Western Oregon will grow flax with profit. Salem's annual cherry fair has been set on July 6, 7, and 8, and promises to be bigger and better than ever. Portland people are taking much interest in the event and a special excursion will be run from this city, taking prominent business men to the fair. Big parades will be fea tures of the event. Lake County will work as a whole in future for develop ment The former Lakeview Board of Trade has been dis solved and the Lake County De velopment League has taken its place. Thoroughly aroused to the benefits of united work. Lake County people may reason ably hope for results from the new organization. There will be a large represen tation from the various Central Oregon commercial clubs at the convention in Prineville June 30- July 1, when the Central Oregon Development League will be formed. There is keen interest throughout that section and much is hoped from the pro jected organization, which will take up the problems that con front Central Oregon, a new country, yet in the making. It is considered important that right steps be taken and the new league will be of benefit along these lines. The hundredth anniversary of the first settlement of whites in what is now the State of Wash ington, will be observed at old Fort Okanogan, on July 3. This event is of considerable historic interest to the entire Northwest. The ceremonies will be held at the point where the Okanogan river empties into the Columbia. This settlement was made by fur hunters in the interests of the United States and was one of the claims on which the whole Pa cific Northwest came under the Stars and Stripes. The commer cial club of Okanogan is respon sible for the celebration, in which many notable people will partici pate. The largest class ever gradu ated from the University of Washington has just gone forth into the world. Sheepskins were awarded to 211 students. This is 24 more than completed tne four-year course in 1910, and gives some idea of the institu tion's growth. Scholarship prizes aggregating $2,500 were distributed among a score of young men and women. The highest honors were awarded to Miss Dorothy C. Mason, who leaves the university with "mag na cum laude," meaning "with great praise . In the fifty years of the university's existence, Miss Mason is the fourth gradu ate to receive this distinction. The railroads, state agricultur al college and the business inter ests of Portland are united on a plan to aid Morrow, Sherman and Gilliam counties in agricul tural advancement. A demon stration train will be operated next Fall through that section and experts from the state col lege will explain the possibilities of diversified farming and stock raising in order to build up the soil, although there is no inten tion to do away with wheat as the principal crop. It is be lieved, however, that improved methods will conserve moisture in the soil, and by growing other things than the single grain, as at present, two crops can be had in three year3 instead of two in four years as at present. Seed will be distributed from the train and prizes offered for the best results obtained by farmers. FOR SALE AUTOMOBILE: Second hand five passenger 11. M. F. car.
