V 'Xcod Jiver Slacier. HOOD RIVER, OR., APRIL, 23, 1892. THE GOAL IN SIGHT. Surveyors have been at work for some time running the preliminary surveys for un irrigating ditch to be taken from the east side of Hood river, to run down the eust side with one branch and to cross over the main river and supply the west side with another. The estimates of cost of construction are not yet available, but we understand that the outlook is favorable for the work being done. No one yet under stands the benefit it will be to have these ditches completed and water in abundance furnished, because no one here has lived in an irrigating or irri gated country. 4 We predict that when water is available lands will be quad rupled in value and that Hood river valley, will be one immense orchard. AVe freely admit that . fl-ie standard orchard fruits can be grown on most of our soil without irrigation, but' the farmer needs water to raise grass, veg etables and small fruits to support him self and his family while his orchards are growing. The ditches will permit this, and the fruit industry will receive au impetus that will astonish all of us. The waiting has been long, and the end is not yet, but for the patient citizen whose faith In Hood River cannot be shaken there is in the near future ati adequate reward. . A SIL VER - PARTY. The Rocky Mountain News of Den ver, Colorado, puts forward the follow ing plan of campaign should Cleveland or any other pronounced gold bug be nominated. . It says: . . "There are thousands of republicans in Colorado who will not vote for Har rison, and thousands who will not vote for Cleveland. Yet, driven from their own parties by nominees wearing the yoke of Wall street, tiiey will be disin vlined to vote forsuch nominee. If the action at Chicago shall force it, electors will be chosen at the subse quent state Convention, pledged to vote against pleyeland, and for such a freo coinage' democrat as Senator Morganf of Alabama. Representaeive BlanQ of ssouri urges this course shallJSe pur- sueu oy me uemoerars 01 Colorado. California, Montana, Wyoung, Iowa, Nevada, Washington aniLOregon; also by those of Kansas, Nebraska and cer tain southern states. "By this course tjrfe integrity of the uemocraiio organization will be pre served, and theelection for president thrown into tje house, in which event the free-coinage candidate would ulti mately Defected, and the free-coinage sentiment produced by such a canvass woulAfnsure the election of a free-coinage Jjoiigress. The course of the Cleve land contingent in New York Is urired - - o s ample warrant ror sucn irregular ities.- This Dernier resort for the free- coinage men is worthy of calm and earnest consideration. That this sug gestion be passed over lightly, the gravity of the silver situation iorbids. The tens of thousands who signed the pledge of the silver league look for some practical plan by which they may con- stitutionally and consistently exercise their suffrage effectively. The move ment, if undertaken, will demonstrate that the democrats and republicans are no longer hewers of wood and drawers of water for Wall street plutocrats, who now almost entirely .dominate one po litical party and have paralized the free-coinage majority in the other." Accounts from the California earth quake were hardly in and au estimate of .the damage made when a second shock occurred on . the 20th. At Vaca villeEhe ruin js now al.nost complete, there being not a single brick building that is not damaged badly, and but few that are not total wreck. At Winters the situation is similar to that at Vaca ville. . These places seem to have been the center of the disturbance. ; Some 'damage was done at Stockton and Sac ramento,' but nothing serious. The citizens have all moved out of Vaca ville, fearing yet more shocks and the danger from falling walls. ' ." The delegates to the state convention were tendered, free transportation by the Dalles, Portland and Astoria Nav igation company, and Monday morn ing fourteen of the delegation went down on the Regulator. Every cour tesy was extended the delegates, and when the lower river was reached a splendid dinner was served for whi h the steward refused to collect. The trip is a splendid one, and wo were pleased to see that the passenger-'list ws large and freight abundant. April 4th there was a heavy shower of mud at Onaga, on tbJ Union Pacific road. The area coverel by the storm was nearly one hundred by fifty miles, and at Onaga the fall was heavy enough that the windows were coated with it, shutting out the light. The headlight to the locomotive was plas tered to such, an extent as to totally shut in the light from thj lamp. ' It is to be hoped that this is not a sign om inous of the coming campaign. ''. t' , Beatty's Organs'6 AV rl I e ftr e tii I ojrue. A (5 dies Daniel K, Jieatty , , Vwihingtotr, New Jetwy The democracy met in Portland Tues day and nominated' a very strong tick et, with J. H. Slater for congress in this, the second district, and C. M. Veatch in the first. , Hon. A. S. Ben nett of The Dalles for supreme judge is conceded to be a strong nun for the place, being in the first rank of attor neys in the state. The ticket is indeed strong, as it must needs be if the dem ocracy expect to get away with the five or six thousand republican majority of the district. It looks on the face of things as though Cleveland is to be the next democratic candidate for the . presi dency. Many of the states have sent delegations pledged to him, and ou own state, though very properly send ing its delegates uninstructed, sent eight solid votes for Cleveland, in case no' complications occur. One danger alone threatens Cleveland's nomina tion, and that is that the New York delegation will take the ground that if the candidate comes from New York, he must be a candidate selected by and satisfactory to New York. This may be doiie, and if it is, may settle Mr. Cleveland's fight, against him. The democratic nominees for the leg islature from this district are J. A. Smith of Sherman county for joint sen ator, and H. E. Moore and S. F. Blvthe for joint representatives. J. A. Moore of Prineville was nominated for pros ecuting attorney, and, of course, tl Hon. W. L. Bradshaw forjudge. DIED. Velorus Hodge at the residence of Dr. P. Or. Barrett, Hood liryer valley, Oregon, Monday April 18that 8 o'clock p. ni. - . Velorus JHodge was born in New York on March, t Sfbth 1800. This makes Mr. Hodge 02 years, three weeks and two days. Tliis age exceeds the allotted-time of man by a little over 22 years. AsSlr. Hodge's age exceeds the allottedige of man, so the splendor and fulliiejs of his noble life exceeds the aveftige life of man. At a very early Vage two special characteristics appeared in the makeup of Mr. Hodge. Tliese were mechanical skill or irenius r w nd a staunch adherence to the right. In vocation he was a carpenter and builder. His life at this business really began when he he was ouly about fif teen years of age, at which time he built an addition to his father's house. After this he employed a man to do his work on the home farm, while he gave himself wholly to the work for which by nature he was so well adapted. From the time he was ftifteen years of age until he was about 80 he was en gaged in the business of a carpenter, either as a workman or as a contractor and builder. The scene of his labors is in and around the city of Buffalo, N. Y., where there yet stand many fine and substantial buildings, which are monuments of his skill as a workman and architect. His work is stamped with the skill and honor ofjhe man. There was nst a tool which he needed in his work, which he could not fash Ion after the most approved manner. From his early boyhood Father Hodge seems to have drawn a line of moral procedure for himself. With consum mate skill and manly integrity he worked to the line of his own drawing. Through his entire life his work show ed that he would rather do right and suffer for it, than do wrong and profit by it. In the city of Buffalo where he was known best he was hon ored the most. Men meeting him on the streett would bare their heads to him bacause they honored the noble qualities of the man. Others of wealth and position and power will tell you tney owe all they have tofather Hodge. Mr. Hodge leaves behind him a wife who for sixty-five beautiful years walked by his side and bore her part in creating the home his presence lighted. She never left his side until his strong clean soul departed and left her' only his silent remains. Then she sadly but willingly laid his body away, for she felt his time had been long, his life full, and his soul ripe for heaven's harvest. His children are sad because their father has gone, but thankful because God gave them a father . who was at once so kind, so gentle and so true. They reverence his name, love his memory, and honor the life he lived. So close had this man's life been to the Divine that . almost the last words that slowly crept from his lips to the listening ear of his wife were: "God is speakinir to me. ' He says come, come, come." Tnis man is not dead; he has only begun to . live' far more abundantly. Of him It may Justly be said: One of God's noblemen has left the earth." "One whose walk and word were right Who 'tranquilly In life's great task field wrought, And side by side with evil scarcely caught A stain upon his pilgrim's garb of white." '.'..' A.
