nshort talk, thanking his many friends
for the kindness shown him and his.
While he appreciated! the good will of
the people, he felt that he was unworthy
ot so mucn demonstration. vv '
Eight deeds came in a bunch to theaj
county clerk's office today. The grantee
in each of them was the Hood River
Lumber Company and the grantors
Davis Divers, Van Johnson, Charles A.
Rife?, T. K. Coon and Delia M. Coon, J.
N. Reynolds, James English and Oliver
English, Peter Nesson, Louisa F. Reed.
These deeds were given by owners oi
property along the banks of Hood river
to enable tbe lumber company to make
the improvements contemplated when
the recent lease was entered into with
the county court and that body declared
the stream a public highway. The im
provement of Hood river and the build
ing of the dam, it would seem, should
result in much benefit, both to the sec
tion of county through which the stream
passes and the growing town at its
mouth. What Hood River, as other
towns similarly situated, needs is the
investment of outside capital, and we
are informed that this is tbe case in the
project which the lumber company is
undertaking.
A
SIX-MILL. TAX VOTED
At
the School Meeting; Yesterday--The
Matter of a Mew Bullying Post
poned till Next March.
. The school meeting held yesterday
afternoon in the Court street school
house, was largely .attended by taxpay
ers. The meeting was called to order by
Director O. . D. Doane, who presided
ver its deliberations, Director Kiner-
sly being present, but Mr. Adams, the
other director, being confined to his
It"
ome by illness. The objects for which
the meeting was called were stated by
the chairman, after which the county
Clerk's statement of taxable property
was read by School Clerk Jacobsen. An
.informal report from the directors was
made, stating the amount of expenses
for the ensuing year and the estimated
revenue under a six-mill tax. This es
timate is as follows:
Six mill tax on prop valuation
$1,181,000 $7,116 00
Due from county and state (est) 5,000 00
Due from tuition (est) 600 00
Total $12,716 00
. The expenses are roughly estimated at
$11,000, though it is probable they may
exceed these figures somewhat.
After the report from the board, Mr.
C. L. Phillips, in order to get the mat
ter before the meeting, moved that a
six-mill tax be levied. Mr. Barnett
moved to amend by making it five mills.
The motion and amendment were both
seconded. Quite an extended discus
sion followed, during which tbe sugcea
tion was made of reducing tbe teachers'
salaries. Some thought that the sala
ries as now paid were too high ; others
were of the opinion that some teachers
were being paid too much and some
were not. No definite action was taken,
however, and criea of "question on the
amendment!" brought the five-mill

proposition before the meeting. The
vote eohwed a decided majority against
the amendment, and when the motion
for a six-mill tax was voted upon, the
vote was practically unanimous in its
favor. This settled the matter of. the
tax.
The other subject that came up was
the necessity for more room. Director
Doane stated that the board saw the ne
cessity of providing additional accommo
dations for the district, and definite
action must soon be taken. A plan
which has recommended itself to the
board was for the district to build an
eight-room building, either of brick or
wood, upon the vacant ground west of
the academy. This building might have
four school rooms down stairs and up
stairs have a large assembly room which
could be divided by folding doors. Two
recitation rooms could flank the assem
bly room. Such a building, if built of
brick, would cost, it is estimated, $7,000
and tbe furnishings about $3,000. The
indebtedness of the district is now $6,500
and the new building, at the cost esti
mated, would increase the debt to $16,
000. The directors stated that there
were parties who were willing to lend
the district this amount of money upon
long time at six per cent interest, provided
they would be the sole creditors. This
plan was carefully listened to" by the
taxpayers, but no action was taken, and
it was moved that the matter be post
poned until the regular meeting in
March. During the intervention it is
hoped the matter will be fully discussed.
