TROUBLES OF
MUNICIPALITIES
Charging that the city attorney's or
flce had been used to further political
persecution, the Medford council has
asked for the resignation of City At
torney N. C. Boggs. Boggs has refus
ed to resign and if he maintains this
position, will probably be removed at
the council meeting next Tuesday. The
affair was brought about by the action
against Councilman Miller for selling
liquor to a minor. The resultant trial
turned out a farce and the feeling in
the city is high that the administra
tion was trying to force Miller into
line as he and three other councilmen
have refused to confirm certain of the
mayor's appointments.
Pendleton's paving war is in the
courts. A case entitled James Johns
ts the city of Pendleton, but in which
other Jackson street property owners
are supposed to be interested, is be
ing tried before Judge Phelps.
His contention is that the ordinance
ordering the work was illegal, in that
by callng only for bids on gravel
bitulithic it excluded competitors.
Should he win the case, the Warren
Construction Company bids fair to lose
several thousand dollars, inasmuch as
the city is protected from loss by its
contract.
Hit and miss methods of inspection
on Portland municipal improvement
work were shown up by the testimony
of J. Hanura, district engineer, and J.
K. Carr, inspector, at the hearing of
the Milwaukie street injunction suit in
Judge Davis" court. Hanum told the
court he had visited the street during
the laying of the pavement by the
Consolidated Contract Company, on an
average of once a week, while Carr
declared that he got around for a
few minutes once or twice a day. The
attorneys for the defense state that
later in the case they will place on
the stand an inspector who will swear
he was there nearly all of the time.
Within the next few weeks will be
held the trials of J. F. Goeller and
Herbert Savidge, the two Indicted
councilmen of Klamath Fells, and also
Hunter Savidge of that place. The
council were charged with bribery in
connection with the transfer of the
Liverniore liquor license.
NEW PACKING RULES ADOPTED
At a conference of 14 of the lead
ing fruit growers of the Wenatchee,
Yakima, Hood River and Rogue River
districts, held in the offices of the
Northwestern Fruit Growers' Associ
ation in the Spalding building, in Port
land, tentative rules relating to a
standard system of grading and pack
ing were adopted.
A committee composed of E. E.
Sampson of North Yakima; W. H. Otis
of Wenatchee; A. W. Peters of Hood
River, and A. C. Randall of Medford,
was appointed to endeavor to arrange
for joint action through the executive
committee of the North Pacific Fruit
Distributors' Association of Spokane,
with the Idea of having uniform rules
I for packing and grading adopted
1' throughout the entire Pacific Northwest.
EASTERN OREGON IN
FEAR OFBIG FLOODS
The cities and towns of Eastern
Oregon and Washington says the Tel
egram correspondent from Pendleton
are preparing for the worst floods In
the history of that section. The old
est inhabitants declare the snow to
be deeper than ever known before on
the Blue Mountains, which shed Into
the John Day, Deschutes, Umatilla and
I Walla Walla Rivers, these in turn
emptying direct into the Columbia Rlv
er. The Pendleton city council ig get
ting hundreds of sacks of gravel and
sand in readiness to rush to the levees
on the Umatilla River in the event of
a flood. ,
Reports from the mountains are thai
16 to 40 feet of snow is on the sum
mits and in the canyons. It is fear
ed that if the summer comes with a
rush the first hot day will start the
worst of torrents. Forest Ranger
Greggs reports that he walked on
snow over the tops of 16 foot poles at
Toll Gate, on the Wenaha reserve.
Benjamin Marlis of Meacham, 25 miles
east of her, reports the worst winter
in 23 years. Four feet of snow ex
tends from Meacham station far back.
It Is not melting yet, as the mercury
was 16 degrees below zero as late as
Tuesday night. Spring Is so late that
the hot weather is expected to come
with a rush.
Hood River will ever remain Im
mune from danger by flood, by virtue
of the topography of the valley and
surrounding section which affords per
fect drainage for any quantity of
water.
NOTED LECTURER COMING.
Dr. Emma Drake Will Conduct Purity
Campaign Here
COLONISTS ARE ARRIVING
Colonists are flocking to Oregon
from every part of the United States,
taking advantage of the low one-way
settlers' rates now In force on the
railroads. Indications are . that the
spring movement will be heavy and
that Oregon will gain just what she
most needs a large number of thrifty,
intelligent and practical farmers who
will settle on the vacant lands of the
state and develop them. Central Ore
gon homesteads are attracting a large
number of newcomers. A number of
families have arrived In Hood River so
far.

WHITE SALMON
(from the Enterprise)
Miss Schnider and Miss King spent
Wednesday evening at Hood River.
Wednesday was White Salmon Day
with the Woman's Club of Hood River,
who enjoyably entertained the club
ladies from this side. Those who
crossed the creek were Mesdames
Sutherland, Heaman, Bishop, Lauter
bach, Russell, Dean, Conser, G. F.
Jewett, Hayes, Jennie Jewett. The
latter went early and inspected the
schools of that place.
The differences between the Fruit
Growers' Union and the contractors
who erected the warehouse has been
settled, the findings of the Board of
Arbitration being satisfactory to the
Union. As to the foundation, it was
found that the concrete was faulty.
The Union will now go ahead with the
laying of a firm foundation. Those
constituting the arbitration board
were: A. J. Hessler, selected by the
Union, A. Sutton of Hood River, by
the builders, and the third man was
Mr. Grayce of Portland.
Unitarian Church
The Increased attendance at the
Unitarian church for the past few
weeks shows that people are desirous
of learning what Unitarianism stands
for. Many are learnig that their own
view of religion, based on science and
reason are being taught In one of the
religious denominations.
This series of doctrlal sermons to
be continued Indefinitely are simple
and clear statements of the modern
ideas in religion, and leave no doubt
as to where this church stands on
these questions. These sermons are
not controversial and do not attack
anyone, but are designed to recognize
and appreciate other views, and to
state constructively the Unitarian at
titude. Contributed.

FORESEES BENEFITS
FROM ORGANIZATION
That the fruit districts of the North
west will strengthen their position iu
foreign markets by means of the dis
tributing association Is the belief of
the Oregon Journal, which comments
on the movement editorially.
The conclusion is reached after 'a
perusal of recent consular reports
from American consuls in England
Germany, Holland and Norway. The
editorial touches upon some Interest
ing points and was In part as fol
lows:
Hood River Pack Best
Importations Into Germany through
Hamburg of American fresh apples In
1912 reached the total in price of
$4,681,222. The receipts of boxed ap
ples from the Pacific coast reached
150,000 boxes. All are said by one of
the largest German Importers to have
been carefully packed and to have ar
rived in excellent shape. He adds
A at as far as packing and grading are
concerned "the Hood River pack is the
best of all."
Barreled apples from Virginia and
New York were found to be largely
infested with San Jose scale, and have
been bruised and damaged In transit
so that the consignment involved the
shipper a heavy loss.
The principal rival of the American
apple in the Liverpool market Is that
shipped by the Tasmanlan growers.
Oregon growers will not suffer in the
coming season from their competition
A terrific hot wind storm did, It is
said by the consul. Incalculable dam
age to the fruit crop of Tasmania on
January 13 last. The loss runs from
40 per cent to the entire crop in the
majority of orchards.
Speaking generally, the apple grow
ers of Oregon whose product Is ship
ped to old world markets, will gain
substantially by organization. Repeat
ed reference is made In these reports
to over-abundant shipments at a spe
cial time causing low prices, which It
was difficult to recover from even
when the demand had again increased.
