RRIGATION F L U M E
H o o d River
DESTROYED
S t r a w b e r r i e s P erish for
Want o f W ater.
Hood River, Or., Ju n e 16__ Giant
| powder was successfully used Saturday
night in an effort to cause the growers
composing the F a r m e r s ' Irrig a tin g
Company the loss of a large portion of
their straw berry crop.
Disgruntled
I laborers are suspected.
About 150 feet of flume on a hill
side ou the west side of Hood River
was destroyed, aud the w ater in the
big irrig atin g ditch is shut off. As a
result, the crop of two-thirds of the
valley, about 400 acres, is without wa­
ter until such time as the flume can
be repaired, which will take a t the
least estim ate three or four days.
The growers stand to lose a t least
10,000 crates of berries, worth $30,000,
aud if the flume cannot be repaired
before Wednesday, the loss will be far
greater. The damage to the ditch will
not amount to more th an $500.
The point where th e ditch was de­
stroyed is high on a hillside. The
members of the company s ta te th a t
it must have taken considerable work
and three or four boxes of powder to
product such disastrous results. This
is the ditch from which all of the wa­
te r is taken to irrigate the big straw
berry crop on the west side of the
valley.
Although 25 men were hurried to
the scene of the trouble as soon as it
was known today, it is estim ated th at
it will tak e three days, working day
and night, to repair the damage.
The Hood River berry season is now
at its height, and no water to sustain
the plants and ripen the berries dur­
ing the present warm w eather will cut
down the yield to almost nothing. For
the past few days from five to seven
cars of berries have been shipped
daily.
An investigation started this a f t e r ­
noon by M. H. Nickelsen, secretary,
and A. C. Staten, manager of the com­
pany, in an effort to determine if pos-
si ble who the ditch destroyers were,
developed the fact th a t the noise of
the shots was heard two miles away
from the spot where the explosion took
place, and th a t it occurred about 11
o ’clock. Beyond this, nothing is defi­
nitely known.
I t is said, however, that the officers
of the company have under suspicion
several men whom they had in their
employ last year, and to whom they
refused to give work this summer.
