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' ,

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."
