Whereas, A t a congregational m eet­
ing held on November 10th, 1915, a
motion to place the Immanuel Church
(Federated) under the care uf some
denomination to be determined by a
committee appointed by the pastor,
continuing the same as a community
church, was made and carried ; and
Whereas, This motion was not unan­

minority voted against it, and the
question was discussed on one side
only, while due consideration was not •M H -l-i-H - i H "l"I I H H - H I I I I I 'I 4-I-I -I -H --14-I H H - l l- H -H -l-H - H -l- )-

Whereas, A t the annual meeting of

COUNCIL HOLDS
SPECIAL MEETING
City Attorney A. J. Derby came up
from Hood River yeaterday and met
with the city council at a special meet­
ing called at the Mosier Valley Bank
by Mayor E. A. Race for the purpose
of determining the legality o f chang­
ing the boundary lines of the City of
Mosier.
A ll the councilmen
were
present.
Mr. Derby stated that there was no
general law regarding the exclusion o f
territory but that there is a general
law regarding the inclusion o f terri­
tory by a municipality.
He stated
that such action had been taken before
but not in this state under the Oregon
system where the legislature haa no
voice in the matter. This reserves to
the cities to determine what they shall
or shall not do in auch cases. He
citied the case of Cook vs. the City of
Portland regarding the inclusion of St.
Johns.
It is the desire of the council o f the
City of Mosier to ascertain the manner
o f procedure and legality o f disposing
of territory relative to changing the
southern boundary line. The objects
■ re several, among them being to elim ­
inate a part of the county road, get rid
of Indian lands, and relieving the city
from the two bridges over Mosier and
Rock creeks. The city feels they will
be unable to bear the burden o f the
new bridge which will soon be neces­
sary ; that it would make the taxes e x ­
orbitant. It ia their contention that
the county should take these over.
A t the next meeting of the council a
vote w ill be taken regarding the call­
ing o f a special election to allow the
people of the city to vote on the pro­
position to amend the city charter.
I f thia election carries, anothei elec­
tion will then bs called to vote upon
the changing o f the boundary lines.
The first «lection is necessary to givs
the mayor the right to call a special
election to change the boundary lines.

“ Forbidd n fru it” is coming into a
new meaning. It applies to all fruit,
canned, bottled sr preserved, from this
or other neutral countries having an
ordinary market in Great Britain, with
the unimportant axcept'on o f currants.
A copy o f the new British regulation*
submitted to Senator Chamberlain by
the state department shows that fruits
shipped or paid for by March 13 will he
admitted, and' it is stated that after
October 31 the restrictions will he l if t ­
ed enough under special lirenas to ad-
mit not more than half the quantities
imported laat year.
Because o f the effect upon Oregon
fruit, the Portland Chambder of Com­
merce has added its voice to the pro­
test, but these protest* are likely to be
unavailing, the right to prohibit impor­
tations being unquestioned. The B rit­
ish authorities have adopted the forbid­
den fruit retaliations aa part of the war
economy policy against spending money
for foreign “ luxuries.”
. The embargo, while it will indirectly
affect all districts, will have a direct
effect on ahipmenla of Newtowns from
Hood Rivar and Hogue River eommuni-
tie*, and will naceaaitate the sale of
large quantities o f these apples in do
metic markets.
