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.
