The Hood River Electric Light Company, which sometime ago purchased the interest of the town site company, getting some 300 lots, have now bought out the Hood River Spring Water Company, which has heretofore supplied the town With water. The pres ent owners will add their water supply to that purchased, and thus give the city an abundance of the very best spring wa ter. The company will put in pipes, con struct a 800,000 gallon reservoir on the hill, and pump tha water up from the lower reservoir by electric power.

Van Dusen. of Astoria, for th month of September, showing his receipts and aUo tha progress made at the dif ferent hatcheries. The matter of th erection of dams in several streams of the state, where hatcheries are located, was discussed. The Fish Warden report ed that In the case of a number of these dams no fishways were being erected, and the result is that the work of the hatch eries is being sadly interfered with. The Fish Warden was Instructed to at once visit the . different points and see that proper lishways were constructed. Mr. Van Dusen said that two or' three dam on Clackamas Creek and one on Johnson Creek, in Clackamas County; one on the Umatilla River, and one on the Umpqua River, near Shedds, had. been complained of in this connection, and as the success of the hatcheries was threatened, he pro posed to take prompt steps to have the fishways Installed. The report of the Fish Warden for the month of September is as follows: The receipts of my office from account cf licenses issued during the month of September, amounted to the sum of $775. The hatchery work that we have under taken for this season we have wellurider way and from reports received from the different stations, results so far have been obtained as follows: At the Clackamas hatchery they got through taking eggs August Slst, and only succeeded in getting 1,454,000..

Will a Portland Jury Render a Verdict of Guilty Even If the Evidence , Be as Gear as Day Judge HcGinn's Piteous blersCity Attorney Says "It's up to the Jury" Hogue's Clear Charge Judge Henry McGinn,- with an eloquejnc worthy of better cause, yes terday mad the most peculiar and sensational defense In a gambling case ever heard In the Municipal Court. He said: , "My clients have been hounded and hunted Ilk wolves and lion. They have beer) dragged here Ilk criminals to appease th thirst for virtu of thefchuroh "people, who have on a spasm of Tform."" "It was a sorry day when the men became gamBlers. They, however, support themselves and families by this avocation. They have mad It their business and could not do anything els. 'When th wav of goodness was not rolling over the community these men were allowed to follow their - occupation without molestation. If it was right than to gamble, It Is right now. Th men are only doing what they have always done. Because a streak of short-lived virtue Is abroad these men are dragged her Ilk criminal. These men have gambled and will gamble again and will not be molested. That they should be punished now is not fair. Remember these men are poor and since the crusade have been out of employment at their business. They have no money and to convict them would work a great hardship. To find them guilty you must not only suspect that th men were gambling but have evidence that they were." A Jury- consisting uf Anthony Neppacli, William Sheehy. W. W. t'easley, Hugh McGuire, John Schaid and Francis Seely yesterday disagreed in bringing in a Ver dict In the gambling case after being out seven hours. When the Jurors went into the room it wa thought that they would not be out for over a few minutes before thev would return with a verdict of guilty for a part, if not all, of the defendants. The evidence showed that the men were gambling, and not one cir cumstance tended to raise a doubt that such wa not the case. The evidence showed that Ayers was sitting back' -Of a - gambling table en gaged in dealing faro. No rebuttal of any kind Was brought out to show that this was not th caHf. In view of the strong testimony. Judge McGinn, for the defense, made- no- attempt to show that the men were not gambling, but made his plea that the men should not be pun ished In view of the wave of -urity that was sweeping over the town. The de fense was practically an admission that the men were guilty. The testimony was very conclusive By what system of de duction or argument a Jury of Intelligent men could disagree in the cas" is a mys tery. .'( THE ARRESTS. The defendants, William Ayres, David Schiller, William James, Ibomas Bragg and A. C. Baxter, wer arrested for gam bling at the Portland Club on September 3- Officer Parker, who made tne raid, tes tified that he had gained entrance to the Portland Club while the doorkeeper was off his guard. When he entered the room he found William Ayers sTttlng back . of a table on which wa a faro layout.' in front of him was a' box containing the cards. Players were sitting around the table with checks in front of them and distributed over the 'layout. One man was keeping cases. In a drawer in the table was $139.50. The apparatus and the money was seized and introduced as evi dence. GRANT'S TESTIMONY. Manager Grant, of the Portland Club, stated that he was the manager of the IJlace. When asked who fh owenrs were. he refused to answer, a-itlrig that there were- people connected lwtn t wno wouia not care to have their nsfifies mentioned. His attorney made a hard fight to have these names kept from publicity. Grant stated that the plflce had been bought from Frank Hellen. That no gambling had been conducted In there since he had taken charge to his knowledge. That the gambling tools were stored in the place from the time they had been used there. He stated he vwatf in the room where the alleged gambltrfg took place a few minutes before, and a few minutes after the raid, but had noticed no signs of a game. When asked If Ayers nad an interest In the house, he stated he had not, but made himself at home about there, and kept his money and books in the safe In the gambling room. That he may have been Interested with Hellen at one time, and may also have been one of the dealers, in the place. Grant said he did not know to whom the money found in the place belonged. BRAGG AFTER CHANGE: Tom Bragg, the well-known gambler, stated that he was a speculator.- He ad mitted having been employed a a dealer in the Portland Club fbr a number of years. He said he went upstairs from the saloon to get gold for 810 In sliver. It was at this critical period when Offi cer Parker appeared on fhe scene. He could not explain how It happened he went upstairs after money If he did not know that a game was Tunning. The man who gave hi nam as A. C. HONOR ST. ANDREW. EC & TON, Oct. 8.

He was one of the men taken in during a raid by Officer Church. The evidence at that time showed that the men 'Were In a po sltlon where everything against them in dicated that they were gambling, but the Jury dismissed the defendants, on the basis that the men haTT been notified beforehand that the officers were com ing, and had framed up so that tne evi dence against them would hardly be strong enough for a conviction. Banker Mills and several other men who were on the jury had no hesitancy in stating that the trial had been a f race. -..At the trial yesterday Barclay stated that he had not been gambling for tne reason that he did not have the slightest knowledge- how the game of faro was played. Yes terday he testified that he did not know the men who were arrested with .him, al though It is a fact that h. ha been in timately associated with a number of them for years. AVERS WAS SILENT. Wm. Ayers was present, but was not put on, the stand. The evidence showed that he was dealing the game and that in ail probability tne bank roll seized belonged to him, as no one else laid any claim to it. The case as it stood would not admit of his being pu? in the wit ness box and swear that he was not gambling in the face of tho evidence. The idea of the defense, apparently, was to get off a number of. the men, against whomthe testimony would In' a techni cal sense admit of doubt. McGINNS RIGHTEOUS PLEA. Judge McGinn, with an eloquence worthy of a better-, cause, tried to im press upon the Jury that, tne poor men who by force of circumstances were gamblers, were being hounded .by the police. That they had a livelihood to make for themselves and families. That their business was gamblrffSf, and that the business was considered right at any time that a spasm of virtue was not overrunning the community, rle made no attempt to disprove the charge, but quot ed law to show that In order to find the men guilty, the jury would have, to be certain that the defendants were gam bling, and must have more than a sus picion that such was th case. PROSECUTION'S SIDE. Prosecutor McNary made a brief state ment to the jury. He explained that the men were found in a well-known gam bllng house. The men were all well known gambers. They were playing at a game of faro. The money and layout were seized "and were In evidence. Tf"a" conviction could not be 'secured on such a showing. It would be Impossible to convict in a gambling case. That the policy of the administration wa to en force the laws. The police had made an effort In this direction an tne city at torney had left nothing undone. It Was up to the jury to do th rest. JUDGE HOGUE'S CHARGE. ' "Gentlemen of the Jury, you have beard the evidence in th case, and are sup posed to use your judgment a to tb guilt or innocence of th defendants from th testimony Introduced. .You ar to use common sense. You can weigh every circumstance In connection with tn cas and if you think th defendants wer gambling it i your duty to bring in a verdict of guilty. If you teei satisfied that they were not guilty of th offense, or, if there la any reasonable doubt on this score, you must bring; in a verulct in their favor. Th men under th Char ter have no appeal from the findings of the jury, and your action Is final." SHAW AND ROOT. BOSTON. Oct 8.

While discharging patent fuel for the British Government, at Hong Kong, the cargo took fir in some inexplicable manner, and the hull of the vessel was damaged to the extent of $12, 000. Five weeks were consumed In mak ing repairs. Shortly after leaving Hong Kong, she was caught in a tpyboon in the China seas. The storm came upon her In the most violent manner and the hawser reel was torn asunder. Waves came surging In " from every direction, and all loose articles about the deck were swept overboard. The nost severe part of the storm contmuea from early in "the morning of August ltd' late in the afternoon on the following day. Had i not soon subsided, the ship would have been in a disabled condition. NOT HEARD FROM. The British ship Lyderhorn sailed from Hong Kong on the same day as the Dy nomene, and as she has not been heard fronv.Jt.ls presumed that she waa also caught In the typhoon.
