This much we have gleaned from the report of thej secretary which of course j - is but the bare statement of the facts. The time consumed in diwussiou was four hours, and the interest in the meeting was unabated to the nd. There was an air of determination about every Individual, and befose the meeting udjourned at least was voluntarily offered as subscription to tlie enterprise. We believe that 20. iWOcan be pledged before another week, and we feel certain that the eominittee will make a thorough canvas, ani a successful one within two weeks. Ieveral telling speecheo were made and 3Ir. McCoy's illustration of what a little water had done for his rarch met with applause. The highest estimate made for the proposed ditch was $25. OOrtahd in this connections few figures are not inappropriate. Thn McCoy proposition was $5.00 an acre for J)J) years. A conservative estimate of the land subject to irrigation in the valley is 25 sections. Now 040 acres at $5.00 per acre would amount in fift years to &;17.000; and for the 25 sections at this rate the total sum levied as a water tax on this little valley would amount in In round numbers, 8.(100.000. Can we afford to assume such a liability? As to the advantages to be derived from the water there is no argument neces-1 sary, though perhaps it is proper to say that not only will the diteh supply water for irrigation, hut will eventual if not at once furnish means of trans' v aterfor irrigation, hut will eventually station to market of all the vast bod-1 ics oi iiuioei nujucenii to uie uraucucs of Hood river. Not only this but the water that carries the logs to market Avill also furnish thf power for cutting Ihem into lumber at their destination. Ere another issue of tbis paper, the -committee will probably call on most of our people, and we hope it will meet with that measure of encouragement that the future of our valley required. Let each one put his shoulder manfully to the wheel, and doing so, determin edly realize that success is within his grasp ami prosperity and plenty are assured for himself and those depend ing upon him.

We A Cat Story. Loft week when George Rordan moved his family from near the old millfcite below the Turker mill, lie j brought in a box the family cat, and five kittens, the latter just large enough to be playful, to his home, Of course they came down by way of the wagon rood, a distance of about six miles. The kittens had been born near the flume, and as Mr. Itordan lived near it, the mother cat at least seemed to understand it. After re maining in their new quarters two days the old cat struck out for the mill, taking two of her kittens with her, and instead of taking the longer way by the wagon road she "went up the flume," straight to her old quarters. The next night she came back and started with the other three kittens but lost one of them on the way, which be ing found served to disclose the route lifi had traveled. Now as the old cat had never been along the flume, and as he was taken from the old quarters in a closed box, how did she know that following up the Hume would take her to her old home?

"We had some reiuarkuble experiences in Washington." s.iiil a lady whose hus band had. through two administrations, held a high uflice in the government. "Insane claimants come to Washing ton by the hundred with preposterous demands of every kind. Of course at tlie departments and in their houses the president and his cabinet are guarded as far as may be from these intruders, but they some times gain access to the peo ple they desire to see, and give a great ileal of trouble. "Owing probably to my name having been more or less in the newspapers. 1 had not a little annoyance from these people myself, and women ns well aa men used to deluge me with the most absurd applications. One very funny Incident, which, however, was most an- had had a bit? dinner, and I was alone ! in the drawing nsnu about 1 1 o'clock, just after our guests had departed. I heard a little bnstle in the hull, but fan cying that it was some one going avr.y did not disturb myself about it "Presently tho door opened, and the footman announced, 'Miss Clark.' And. quite as if she were an expected guest. in walked a very ladylike looking worn an. who calmly Informed me that she " had a claim against the treasnn depart ment for a million dollars, and that she bad come to stay with me until she h;ul arranged matters satisfactorily. 'I have brought my trunk.' she explained very composedly, 'as I suppose I may have to stop with you for some time.' And to my consternation i found that the cab man (for she had arrived in a carnage) had brought her box into the hall, and that she had paid and dismissed him. Her whole demeanor was so quiet and assured that the servant who ojicnod the door never dreamed bnt that she was expected. "To have a craay woman in your honso at midnight is not a pleasant po sition I assure you. I felt that she mnst be humored, and making some excuse, hastily sought my husband and ac quainted him with the situation. For tunately Dr. , our .xxl neighbor. lived within a few doors, and writing him a line to ask his advice and assist ance, we eutertained our strange visitor nntil he arrived with a carriage to take the oor lady to a safe shelter for the night. With great tact he persuaded her to go with him. und she took leave of us with many apologies for her short stay and abrupt departure. "My next experience was more seri ous. My daughter was to be married, and on the afternoon before the wedding 1 had gone np to my room for a little rest when i was disturbed by one of the servants who informed me that a gen tleman was down stairs who insisted upon seeing 'Miss Mary' (my daughter) or myself. "He wouldn't give his mes sage, ma'am.' exclaimed the man, 'al though 1 told him that you did not wish to bo disturbed.' Thinking that it might be something of importance, I wentdowti to the reception room, where 1 found a tall, very good looking man, who in an agitated manner told me that ha had long loved my Mary, had seen her mar riage spoken of in the papers and had traveled night and day from his homo in the west to be in time to prevent the sacrifice. "lie insisted upon seeing my daughter i at once. Ho was so excited that 1 was terribly frightened, but kept my pres ence of mind, and contrived to ring for the footman. 'Show this gentleman out,' 1 said, and fairly flew upstairs. Some way or other thoy got rid of him, but that evening he returned, and again tho next morning. Of course he was not admitted, but 1 was made so thor oughly nervous that my husband sent for a couple of policemen in citizen's clothes, who remained with the wedding party until the young couple were fairly olf on the train " New Vork Tribune.
