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.

AMUSEMENTS
It was rumojed Just as the con

nomination for Roosevelt. When
Borah arrived he denied he had any
such purposes.
"I was asked to present the name
of Roosevelt," he said, "but refused
emphatically. No friend of the pres

does not want the honor.
"If any friend of Roosevelt placed
him in nomination the action would
be misconstrued and the president
would be accused of convlvlng with
the nominator to bring about such a
result. In my Judgment the president
