HOOD RIVER WATER MATTERS
A Meeting Which Everybody Attended
Last Saturday.
At ther January term of the county
court among the last business trans
acted was the declaring of Hood river
to be a public highway, and the leas
ing of the same to the Hood River
Lumber Company, a recently formed
organization. The intent and object
of the lease was to have the river "im
proved," so that it could be used for
driving sawlogs, piling, cordwood, etc,
to the town of Hood River. The lease
was made rather hurriedly, and in fact
was signed before a large number of
the riparian owners along the stream
had notiee of the petition. Since then
an opposition to the lease has grown
up among Hood River people, that has
the endorsement of practically every
citizen of that vallev. While many
are not interested in the use of the
stream for the- purpose of transporta
tion, every citizen feels that he has a
deen and important interest in the
waters of the stream for irrigating pur
poses. The fear was expressed that
the lease would give the holders there
of such rights as would necessarily in
terfere with the taking of water from
the stream for irrigating purposes.
One irrigating company that had ap
propriated or claimed 4,000 inches of
water, but which also intended to use
the water for fluming lumber and fur
nishing power, had gone so far as to
put in a mill, and arrange for logs,
which latter were to be cut and used in
buildint? a flume. The Hood River
Lumber Co. notified this corporation
that it would, or its stockholders who
owned riparian rights in the stream,
would, consent to the taking of the
4,000 inches of water from the stream,
provided said water should be used for
irrigating, household or domestic pur
poses, but for no other. Thi3 attempt
at dictating to all the riparian owners
by one or two aroused the indignation
of the entire community, and pursuant
to a call a meeting- was hold at Hood
River Saturday afternoon for the pur
pose of considering the water question
in general, and the irrigating com
oanv mentioned, and the lease of the
river in particular. The meeting was
called to order by Chairman C. A. Bell
and H. F. Davidson was elected secre
tary. Messrs. Bell, Davidson and
Davenport, in behalf of the irrigating
company made statements concerning
the effect the lease of the river had on
this company. It was all ready to go
ahead, at the time the lease was made,
but as the lessees of the river claimed
the right under the lease to charge for
running- loers down the river to the
mill, it made the cost thereof so great
than it prevented further action. The
stock was subscribed in such a manner
that only ten per cent could be collect
ed upon the completion of the first
mile of flume. As a lawsuit would
probably have to be fought, the com
pany did not feel 'like going ahead
unless this clause could be changed, or
more stock subscribed, unconditionally,
From this time the discussion became
general, getting quite tropie'al at times
as questions and answers were rapidly
asked and answered, but as the situa
tion was unfolded and the legal rights
of all parties concerned explained, the
feeling that the rights of the commu
nity were in danger passed away.
The stock book? of the irrigating
company were opened and in 20 mi
utes $2,700 additional stock was su
scribed, which insures the prosecution
of the work on the irrigating flume,
There may be a lawsuit or two growing
out of the matter, but if there is it will
be found that the citizens of Hood
river valley are a unit on one side of
the proposition. The writer hereof
once remarked jestingly of a jury that
;'it would not agree, since there were
two Hood River men on it, and Hood
River people never agreed." He ad
mits his mistake, for on this proposi
tion there is an unanimous opinion.
All realize the necessity of having
Hood river put in condition to carry
the timber along its branches to the
market, but oppose the granting of a
monopoly of the river to anyone, as
they claim, and prove, the rates grant
ed by the county court would, have
done. The action of the county court
in insisting that "the company should
procure the riparian rights without ex
pense to the county" puts the whole
matter in the power of the riparian
owners, for if they refuse to give the
rights of way, the company being un
able to comply with the terms under
which the lease was granted, will have
no lease at all. These rights of way
lessees cannot purchase. This view of
ihe matter, did much towards remov
ing the leeiing against tne commis
sioners court, and we believe that the
matter has been fully settled. The
meeting was a large one being held in
the Odd Fellows hall which was with
its anti-rooms and stairways packed
with the eager" throng.
THE MERRY MASKERS.
A Pleasant Party at the Baldwin Opera
House Friday Night.
The attendance at the mask ball
given under the auspices of the Wood
men and Workmen lodges Friday even
ing was good, all seating room in the
opera house being occupied by specta
tors, while the dancing floor was fairly
well filled with maskers representing
many grotesque and fantastic charac
ters, though the number of maskers
present was not so great as might have
been expected, considering the ele
gance of the prizes offered by the man
agement of the ball. " But what was
lacking in numbers was made upcin
merriment, those who appeared in cos
tumes having all the fun possible,
while their enjoyment was appreciated
by the spectators. There were a num
ber of elegant costumes, and many of
the characters were well personated,
but to describe them all or venture
upon an expression of who was best
would be impossible. The prize for
the handsomest lady costume was
awarded to Miss Christine Phirman,
'Grecian lady," the second to Mrs,
Laurensen, who had a most novel char
acter and costume, it being the Ameri
can laundry on wheels. The first gen
tleman's prize was awarded to W. H.
VanBibber, M. Hansen, W. Norman,
Chas. Nielsen and F. Chrisman, repre
santing five clowns, and the second to
Henry Harper, who represented an
cient workman.

The Dalles is Going Ahead.
From present indications there will
be more substantial buildings erected
in The Dalles this year than there has
been any year since the great fire. A.
M. Williams & Co. have determined to
erect a large two-story fireproof "8x100
feet, reaching from French & Co's
bank to the building occupied by M.
Honnywill. The front of their pres
ent building will be replaced with a
pressed brick front, to correspond with
the part to be erected. The lower story
of the new building, as well as the part
now occupied by the firm, will be used
as salesrooms, and the store when com
pleted will resemble that, occupied by
Lippman & Wolf in Portland. The
plans and specifications for the new
building are being perfected by Cran-
dall & Burget, and it will be one of .the
handsomest ever erected in theciey,
supplied with all the appliances of a
modern and up-to-date store. Besides
this new building, we understand that
Max Vogt will soon begin rebuilding
his property that was destroyed in the
great lire of '91 on the corner of Sec
ond and Federal streets, and thus
this will be a solid fireproof block on
the south side of Second street from
Washington to Federal. Other build
ings are also contemplated which will
add much to the appearance and
wealth of the city.
Chemical Fire Eiielnes.
The question of securing a chemical
engine fr the fire department of The
Dalles has been referred by the city
council to their committee on fire and
water, and from a member of that com
mittee we learn that the city is not at
present prepared to incur any ad
ditional expense in adding to its al
ready very complete fire apparatus.
But the committee consider that a
chemical engine would be a valuable
acquisition, aud will ere long submit a
proposition to the property owners of
the city to raise a sufficient amount by
subscription to buy one of these en
gines. Evidently money put into a
chemical engine would be well in
vested, since it is stated that with such
an addition to the fire apparatus
cheaper rates of insurance will be ex
tended. Chemical engines are in use

THE SETTLES WIXS.
Secretary Hoke Smith Decides Against
the Bailroads.
In the case of the Northern Pacific
against Clarence C. North involving
land in Walla Walla land'district,'the
secretary holds that the commissioner
properly rej'ected an application of
Nathaniel P. Hall to purchase, and did
the proper thing in cancelling the
latter's homestead edry. Thedand is
within the limit of the grant to the
Northern Pacific, but was excepted
from the operation of the withdrawal
upon general route by reason of a pre
emption filing made June 7, 1870. In
March, 12 years ago, North filed a pre
emption declaratory statement for the
land, alleging settlement on the same
date. Three months later Hall made
his application, claiming that North
had not complied with the pre-emption
laws, and that he (Hall) had purchased
the land from the railroad in 1891.

TWO Faruirn Have an Enranntrr In
Which One is Killed and the Other
Badly Wounded.
Prineville, Or., Feb. 13. 1896.
Editor Times-Mountaineer:
Ike Mills, of Beaver creek, in this
county, has just come in and delivered
himself to the sheriff. He says that
yesterday he and J. R. Wagoner, of
Beaver creek, had a shooting scrape
in which he (Mills) was badly wounded
and Wagoner was killed. It appeal s
from Mills' story that the parties have
been on bad terms for some time; that
the day before the tragedy Wagoner
sent word to Mills to remove some
fence that separated their farms. Yes
terday Mills was passing where Wag
oner was plowing, and called to Wag
oner to come up to the road that he
wanted to see him. Wagoner ans
wered; "If you want to see me, come
in here." Mills rode down to where
Wagoner was, and found him stand
ing with a shotgun in his hands. They
attempted to talk about the fence, but
both got angry. Finally Wagoner
struck Mills in the face, and jumped
back and fired one barrel of his gun.
The charge took offect in Mills' right
hand, tearing it nearly off. Mills pull
ed his gun and they both shot nearly
together, Mills firing two shots, one of
which at least took effect, as Wagoner
fell back dead, and never moved while
Mills was in sight. Wagoner's second
shot struck Mills' left hand, injuring
it almost as badly as the first did his
right.
After the shooting Mills went home,
and was immediately brought to town.
He will lose his right hand and possi
bly his left. y
The sheriff, corpflor and deputy
prosecuting attorney have gone to the
scene 6f the trouble, and on heir re
turn there may be another side of the
story.
Both men have families and are old
residents of the county. Wagoner
was about 60 years of age, while Mills
is comparatively a young man.

Work at the Locks.
A representative of the TIMES-
Mountaineer visited the Cascades
Monday morning and spent a few hours
looking over the government works at
that place and conversing with the
genial people of that city. From what
he could see and learn from parties
who are conversant with the situation,
it is not safe to predict that a boat will
pass through the locks inside of a
month, and possibly not for six weeks.
The machinery for operating the gates
is not yet in place, nor have the water
connections been made, and this work
alone will require probably a month.
The canal is very nearly completed,
the walls, with the exception of those
between the first and second gates are
finished, and most of the concrete
botom is laid. The only important
work to be done is the dredging out of
the upper and lower bulkhead. This
work apparently i9 progressing slowly.
The dredger broke down Saturday
and some of its machinery gave way
again Monday. The dredger will likely
be idle for several days, on account of
the captain and engineer of the Sadie
B. having had some misunderstanding
with the contractors, and quit work,
and until their places can be filled, the
dredger cannot be operated, as the boat
is used-to haul the barges that carry the
dirt away from the dredger. After
looking over the works at the Cascades
it is not possible to express a very
hopeful opinion as to when the locks
will be open for operation.
FOB FEITED BAXLBOAD LADS.
The
Bill Becomes a Law being Approved
by the President, Feb. IB.
The bill to protect settlers on . for
feited railroad lands is now a law.
Mr. Robert Mc In tosh received a tele
gram from Congressman Ellis Satur
day,' saying the president had signed
the bill, which is as follows:
"That section three of an act en
titled 'An Act to forfeit certain lands
heretofore granted for the purpose of
aiding in the construction of railroaddi
and for other purposes,' approved Sep
tember 29, 1890, and the several acts
'amendatory thereof, be, and the same
is amended so as to' extend the time
within which persons entitled to pur-
'chase lands forfeited by said act shall
be permitted to purchase the same, in
the terms provided in said section at
any time prior to January 1. 1897: Pro
vided, That actual residence upon the
lands by persons claiming the right to
purchase the same shall not be re
quired where such lands have been
fenced, cultivated, or otherwise im
proved by such claimants, and such
persons shall be permitted to purchase
two or more tracts of such lands by
legal subdivisions, whether contiguous
or not,' but not exceeding three hun
dred and twenty acre9 in the aggre
gate. Approved, January 23, 1896.

Prospects of a College.
A meeting of citizens of Hood River
was held at the Congregational church
Monday afternoon last and listened to
an address by Rev. C- C. Poling on
Higher Education." After the ad
dress, Mr. Poling stated the Evangeli
cal denomination desired to establish
a college in some part of the state and
suggested that it might be well to see
what encouragement Hood River
would offer to secure such an institu
tion. On motion, Messrs. E. L.
Smith, James Hanna, V. H. Bishop
and S. J. LaFrance were appointed as
a committee to canvass the town to se
cure the sentiment of the people on the
subject. On Wednesday they made
a partial canvas of the town, and while
tbey found a unanimity of sentiment
in favor of securing the college, yet
owing to the scarcity of money, the
indebtedness of our school district and
other causes, the pledges of support
were not fao liberal as to offer much en
couragement. The committee report
ed results of their canvass to Mr. Pol
ing and will be governed by his sug
gestions as to future action.' Glacier.
Marvelous Results,
From a letter written by Rev. J,
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvelous in the
case of ray wife. While I wa9 pastor
of the Baptist church at Rive9 Junc
tion she was brought down with pneu
monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruDtion and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery: it was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in re
sults." Trial bottles free at Blakeley
