PERSONAL MENTION 1 1 FLUME CAUSE $311,000 LOSS TO HOOD RIVER BERRIES Two-Thirds of Berry Fields left Dry By DithUirtlly Crime Disgruntled laborer Are SusHx.ned About lur Hundred Acre Are Left Without WiMer 1ohh at Least 10, 000 Crates. Giant powder was successfully use! Sunday night in an effort to cause the growers composing the Farmers' Irrigating company of Hood River the loss of a large portion of their strawberry crop. Disgruntled labor rs are suspected. About 150 feet of flume on a hill side on the west Bide of Hood River was destroyed, und the water In the big irrigation ditch Is shut off. As a reHult, tile crop of two-thirds of the valley, ubout 400 acres, is without water until such time as the flume can lie repaired, which will take at the least estimate three or four days. The growers stund to lose at least 10.000 crates of berries, worth $30, 000. and If the flume cannot be re paired before Wednesday, the loss will be far greater. The damage to the ditch will not amount to more than $500. Instruction Took llunl Work. The point where the ditch was de stroyed Is high on a hillside. The members of the company state that It must have taken considerable work and three or four boxes of powder to produce such disastrous results. This Is the ditch from which all of the wa ter is taken to lrlgate the big straw, berry crop on the wet side of the val ley. Although 25 men were hurried to the scene of the trouble ns soon as It was known it Is estimated thnt It will tako three days, working day and night to repair the damage. Thi- Hood River berry season Is now at Its height and no water te sustain the plants and ripen the ber ries during the present warm weather will cut down the yield on every grow er llong the ditch tu almost nothing. For the past few days from five to seven cars of berries have been ship ped dally. An investigation started this after noon by M. H. Nlckelsen, secretary, and A. C. Statcn. manager of the company, In an effort to aetermlne if possible who the ditch destroyers were, developed the fact that the noise of the shots were heard by C. V. Reed, who resides two miles away from the spot where the explosion took place, and who states that It oc curred about U o'clock. Beyond this nothing Is definitely known. Perpetrators Arc Suspected. It Is said, however, that the offi cers of the company have under sus picion several men whom they had In their employ last year and to whom they refused to give work this sum mer. The greater part of the Injury to the ditch consists of the blowing to pieces of 150 feet of flume situated In an almost Inaccessible spot on the west side of Hood River and evident ly selected on account of the long time It would take to make repairs.
