DIGKERSON & PECK BUILD STOREHOUSE Believe Private Warehouse Will Help to Solve the Storage Problem W. B. Dickerson ha3 employed Albert Sutton, the architect, to prepare plans for a capacious storehouse to be built this sum mer on the Dickerson and Peck ranch in order to accommodate the big crop this fall. Mr. Dick erson believes that those who have large orchard acreage will be taking time by the forelock in providing facilities for the better handling of their crops and thus preparing for any possible emergency. The proposed building will be a story and a half structure and so constructed as to be frost proof. The storage room will occupy the lower portion of the building and will hold about 15, 000 boxes. The upper portion will be for the storage of boxes and material. The building will be 50 by 100 feet in dimensions. "In view of the large crop which is expected this fall and the constantly increasing pro duction on most of the ranches in the valley each successive year," said Mr. Dickerson, "I believe that the orchard owners will be doing the wise thing in building storehouses wherever possible in order to enable them to better handle the crop at home and also to deliver the fruit to the Union warehouses in a more perfect condition. This would also go far towards relieving the congested condition at the Union warehouses early in the season. II. G. KaufTman ex-secretary of the Commercial Club, left Thursday with Mrs. KaufTman for their former home in Oregon, Illinois. They went by way of California in order to visit their son. Harlan, at Stanford Uni versity while en route home. Dr. and Mrs. A. S. Kennedy of The Dalles arrived the last of the week with their little daughter to visit his parents, Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Kennedy. PREPARE TO LOCATE CONVICTCAMP HERE Adam Shortgen of Salem, who has charge of the convict work on roads and public works, was in the city the last of the week making arrangements to bring a number of convicts to Shell Rock this week in order to build the camp and make necesssary ar rangements before the larger gang is brought here to work on the road. The lumber will probably be donated by the two lumber com panies, and groceries and other supplies to support the camp will be secured here. As yet the railroad has not ap proved the right of way for the road which has been mapped out by the county. This map, how ever, is under consideration by the proper officials and a favora ble reply is expected. While here Mr. Shortgen said: We want to bring a half dozen convicts up to the Hood River country next week and establish the camp. As soon as this is completed a crew of about 30 men will begin the work of dig ging the roadway around Shell Rock. "I inspected the scene of operation and I believe that we will have a difficult task. A steam shovel will have to be put into commission, I think, in re moving the tons of loose stone of which the mountain side is com- oposed." HOMESTEAD BILL PASSESTHE HOUSE The Borah-Jones three-year homestead bill by a unanimous vote passed the House of Repre sentatives in substantially the form in which it was left last Wednesday. The essential feat ures of the original bill are re tained, and what differences ex ist between the Senate and the House will be adjusted in com mittee which will consist of Sen ators Smoot, Jones and New lands and Representatives Tay lor, Karris and Mondell, all fa vorable to the measure. It may require several days to shape the bill in conference, but its ulti mate passage is assured and President Taft has promised Sen ators Borah and Jones that he will sign it. The bill in brief reduces the homestead period from five to three years, gives homesteaders five months' leave of absence each year and six months in which to establish residence, af ter making original filing. Be fore the bill was passed, the House voted down the amend ment proposed by the conserva tionists, reserving the mineral and water power sites and timber to the government. FIVE NOW OUT FOR THEJEGISLATURE Wasco county aspirants have been drifting into the race for the nomination as representative in a desultory sort of fashion. Five candidates are now in the race for the nomination. John H. Moores, who resides five miles southeast of The Dalles, is the latest candidate to enter the political arena, having made his announcement the last of the week. He was in the city Friday circulating his petitions. Dr. J. E. Anderson of The Dalles has also announced his candida cy, lhe third contestant in Wasco county is George D. Bro die of Dufur. J. M. Schmeltzer and C. II. Stranahan of this city were the first to enter the field and on ac count of their wide acquaintance ship in both counties and their eminent qualifications to serve the district acceptably are with out doubt the strongest candi dates now in the field for nomi nation. With three candidates from Wasco county it is assured that the vote in that section will be widely scattered. Two of the five candidates will be chosen at the primaries, as two representatives are to le elected at the general election. Plans Country Home E. W.
