OWNERS IN RESERVE
WILLING TO SELL
Since announcement was made that
the Portland Water Board was con
sidering acquiring by purchase the
Bull Run forest reserve, many pro
positions have been made by owners
of land in this territory to sell their
holdings to the city. Of the 200,000
acres In the reserve, only one-half of
It Is held by the Government and the
rest Is privately owned. When the
reserve was created several years ago,
owners of the laud were given the
option of trading their claims In this
territory for land In some other part
of the country, but many refused to do
this.
One company, owning about 1100
acres of timber within the reserve
has offered its holding for $93,000
Smaller tracts were also presented to
the board. The matter has been held
in abeyance pending an investigation
by Senator Harry Lane to determine
if the Government will deed Its hold
lngs In the Bull Run watershed to the
city.
HEIGHTS WINS THE
FIRST OF SERIES
The Heights defeated the lower
city boys In an exciting but loosely
played game at Columbia Park Sun
day. Hart s work in the box was
the feature of the game and while
several hits were gotten off bis de
livery loose fielding was the principal
cause. Both teams played ragged
ball in the field and had each pitcher
received good support the score would
have been much closer. Stockton
was on the firing line for the down
town team and worked very nicely
with the exception of two innings.
The line-ups were as follows:
Hood River Shay, Butterfield, Cos
how, Guernsey, Gessling, Baker, Fred
ericks, Franz and Stockton; Heights
Carson, J. Thomas, Koontz, Hall
Mooney.
The two teams will play their sec
ond game next Sunday, May 25.

Election on the
Bond Issue
An event of importance to the East
Side will occur next Tuesday when
the bond election will be held for
the purpose of voting an Issue of
$175,000 woith of bonds. All proper
ty owners within the East Fork Irri
gation District will be entitled to vote
and the polling places will be as fol
lows: Precinct No. 1 at Warden's
mill. No. 2 at the Odell Union Apple
House, No. 3 at the Connoway Mer
cantile Company warehouse. No. 4 at
Fike'g apple house and No. 6 at A. I.
Mason's apple house.
There haB been no opposition to
the bond election, so far as is gen
erally known, and it is expected that
the bonds will be voted by a large
majority. The officers and board of
directors of the company are anxious
that this should be the case in order
that the bonds may find a ready sale.
Of the total bond Issue authorized
$110,000 would be paid to the old
East Fork Irrigation Company for the
plant complete. The balance of the
bonds will be sold as needed. As
much of them as necessary will be
used for needed repairs, renovation
and improvement of the system.
The board of directors of the dis
trict feel that it is highly important
that the bond issue should be carried
by as nearly a unanimous a vote as
possible, otherwise the future of the
irrigation system which now waters
the East Side would be very uncer
ain, they declare. The old company
adopted a policy which wag financially
unsound and when the bonds became

Likelihood of Estrangement of Peo

Toklo. Faith in the American peo
ple to see that justice is done the
Japanese is the dominating note In
the discussion of the California alien
land ownership legislation.
War talk is denounced as ridiculous
and only calculated to embarrass the
two governments, which are laboring
for a peaceful settlement by diploma
cy. It is conceded, however, that failure
on the part of the Americans to re
spond to the Japanese appeal for a dis
continuance of the alleged discrimin
ation would be likely to lead to some
estrangement of the peoples. The Jap
anese public generally is convinced
that the land bill is a racial and not
an economic measure and hence a
blow to national pride, and the people
feel that the world must be taught
the necessity of equal treatment for
the whites and non-whites.

GOVERNMENT MUST PAY.
Treatment cf III, Waiting Aliens Not
Steamship's Duty.
New York. A decision handed down
by Ju.lt:' Mayer In the I'nited States
district court will cost the I'nited
States government about $1,000,000 a
year from now- on. It holds that the
gov eminent must pay for medical aid
to al. ens brought to this country and
found after their at rival at Kills Island
to be suffering from some temporary
mt.igious disease.
The government sought to collect
from tne Holland American Steamship :
company $;ii7 for such treatment, but
the ciHir", In finding for the defend
htits. declared that the Immigration j
laws make no provision for the steam
ship company to pay for medical treat
ment for ailing aliens. I'nless over
ruled by a higher court, the decision
will apply to all steamship lines.

Next Tuesday
due woke up to find that there was
no sinking fund with which to meet
the amount due. The new district
was organized with the purpose of
taking over the system from the old
company and it is this purpose which
would be consummated next Tuesday.
It Is said that some are apprehen
sive as to the cost of operating the
ditch under the new system, but the
board of directors do not believe that
it will be excessive and probably
not as great as if operated by a pri
vate company. This year the board
has decided to collect a maintenance
and operating charge by water toll.
It Is estimated that 15 an inch will
cover all expenses. Of this 2.50
would be due July 1 and the balance
October 1.
The district took hold of the sys
tem In March, cleaned out and re
paired the canals and water is now
being served to all who want it.
FINDS INTEREST IN
FAIRS IS STRONG
Greater interest is being taken in
young people's industrial work in
Hood River than In any other city in
the state outside of Portland, accord
ing to L. P. Harrington, field worker
for the Agricultural and Industrial
School Fairs of the state, who spent
a couple of days here last week. He
was greatly pleased and was especial
ly anxious that the children of Hood
River should enter an exhibit at the
state fair thig Fall, following the
county industrial fair for children
here. He said:
" I am visiting the various counties
of the state to inform teachers, par
ents and school children regarding
this 'state-wide agricultural-Industrial
contest for boys and girls.
"This is an educational movement
for the benefit of Oregon schools and
school children, a movement that is
practical and emphasizes the practi
cal side of education. What is of
more importance than common, every
day home and household duties for
young people cooking, sewing and
the care of a house for our girls, the
ownership and care of poultry or
stock and the use of tools for boys
and for all the ownership and care of
a garden?
"This is getting 'back to the soil'
In a practical way and beginning with
the boys and girls of today, who will
be the men and women of tomorrow.
"Parents can help in this great con
test to determine who of our Oregon
boys and girls can do the things that
count and do them best. Teachers
are giving this work their hearty sup
port and superintendents everywhere
believe It is a move in the right
direction, therefore give us their as
sistance. "The cost of sending and returning
the products to the state fair is no
thing as all railroads carry them free.
"In company with Supt McLaugh
lin. I visited all the schools of Hood
River and talked to the children and
teachers. I found them all Intensely
interested and ready to help. They
will not forget but will do their part
and 'stick to it.'
' Bulletins from the O. A. C. giving
instructions and lists of prizes offer
ed by the state will be distributed
by the superintendent, one to each
family.
"I believe Hoid River and the coun
ty could not do a better thing for
this part of the state than to encour
age the children to show what they
can raise and make, first at your
county fair, for which Superintendent
Thompson has secured some good
prizes, and second at the state fair
for which $!3H0 worth of valuable ar
ticles and cash will be given.
"S'leh an exhibit at Salem would at
tract the attention of the whole state.
These boys and girls will be strength
ened by the effort and will receive
benefit whether they n a pIrln or
not.
"There are five 5 prizes offered
for county exhibits, the first being
$ 1'. Boys' and girls' products can
be entered for Individual prizes and
also with the county exhibit. The
boys and girls In Hood River will do
their part If they hav support from
parent and tea' hers, outside dis
tricts will help.
"I visited Pine Grove, a four-room
school; also Odll. a four room school,
and found pupils and teachers wldo
awake and ready to d thing. All
working together run make fh Hood
River fair a great hiuti'm and lnur
a fine exhibit for the boys and girl
S'a'e Contest at Salem at the Hum- of
