feod Iiver .Slacier. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1S94. The Mitchell Monitor is a new pit per started in the town of Mitchell, Crook viuinty, the first number of which has ld.cn received. It was started by R. B. Smith and W. F. Magee, but tlie first Jssue shows that the linn of Smith & Matree dissolved partnership the day before the paper was Issued, K.B.Smith withdrawing. The Monitor will advo cate the formation of a new county out of the eastern part of Crook, the north end of Grant, a portion of Gilliam and the southern corner of Wasco. - Next Tuesday the voters of Hood Jliver will lie called upon to decide whether or not the town shall be In corporated. The election will be held at the Langille house and will be gov erned according to the rules of the Au stralian ballot law. The judges of elec tion are E. Ij. Smith, 8. E. Bartmess and LTEMorse; clerks, James Hunt and J. E. Hanna. The ticket nnm Ina'ed by the citizens last Saturday evening at the school bouse, which ap pears elsewhere In these columns, Is a good one, and if elected and the corpo ration carries, the new city will start off with a list of officials that will in Mure good and economical government for the first term at least. Some dis satisfaction was expressed because only one ticket was nominated at the pri mary, and an effort Is being made to nominate another ticket, which may materialize before the day of efection. Tlie Corporation Question. " Hood River, Nov. 28, 1894. Editor -Gi,acikr: As many citizens of Hood River have had but little opportunity ' to read the "general incorporation law" passed by the last legislature, and the day for voting for or against corpora tion being close at hand, a brief review of the. more important points may lead to more intelligent voting. The first howl by the anti-incorpora- tionists is the princely salaries drawn ly officials. Referring to section 11, 'general incorporation act, I find that the mayor and aldermen are positively prohibited from receiving any remun eration whatever for their services in such capacity. The recorder, treasurer and marshal are paid by ordinance, and generally in fees. . . Howl No. 2 street grading. The council will, at their first sitting, order the street commissioner to grade all the streets within the corporate limits and to have them paved within ninety days with either Trinidad asphalt or vitri fied brick, whichever is the. most ex pensive; also, Bewers are to be run through every street, whether any one Is living on such street or not. The law is that it requires a petition of a majority of the property owners resitt ing or owning property on the street proposed to be graded, or In which it is proposed to , put in a sewer system before, such improvement can be made. Howl 3 fn which Rome also howls Is the water system. . The very ob ject of all objects of incorporation is to control'the water supply of the town, 'Without incorporation you will con tinue to pay the same exorbitant rates that you have always, paid; no better 'supply and absolutely no fire protec tion. When incorporated, the council lias the supreme control of the whole matter, even to regulating the prices at which it is sold (sec. 25). Another point not generally under stood. Is the control or the liquor traffic. The common supposition is that under a government license spirits alcho- -holic, malt or vinous can5 be sold in giveu quantities, corporation or no cor poration. This is not so. The state law is supreme. The United States government says: "You shall not sell without you pay a given sum. When that is done you may sell, provided the state law will allow you to do so. " In the case" of incorporation, the state places the whole matter in the hands of the council, and the dealer may come to the corporate town with United States licenses pasted all over his back and he can neither sell a glass, gallon nor bar jel without the permission of the coun cil. This law includes also gambling, dance and bawdy houses. (See sec. 25.) An important office is the city mar- shalship and the necessary police regu lation. A precinct constable cannot arrest without a warrant issued on com plaint of interested parties, except in certain cases. The city marshal can arrest anyone without warrant who -luay be disturbing the peace or violat ing any of the city ordinances. , He Is brought before the recorder and prompt ly fined or discharged, with but little cost generally, upon the evidence of the arresting officer. ... The intentions of the legislature in ' framing a general incorporation act were to allow a neighborhood to gov ern themselves as much or as little as their peculiar circumstances demand, The claim that the first acta of the mayor and council, and in fact the ob ject of their election, is to burden the people with debts and taxes, that the board of aldermen is of necessity an or ganized band of thieves and robbers, is the - veriest rot, unworthy of a mo ment's thought. Under incorporation such a place as Delk's "joint" could never have existed. In conclusion let me say that in case of failure of Incor poration, all expenses incurred by rea son of such attempt must be paid by those signing the petition. Such is the law. ' - Incorporator. One or Two-Year-Olds Whiclil Which Is Che best to plant, one or two-year-old apple, trees? Is a question which is asked by iriany at each recur rence of the planting season. As there are strong advocates ot noin ages, would It not be instructive as well as interesting to hear the reasons given on both sides. The writer believes in setting one-year-old trees and advances some of his reasons for so doing, but hopes some "two-year-old" advocate will do as much for his side of the dis cussion. A one-year-old tree (1) has consid erably better and more fibrous roots, consequently (2) it grows faster and (3) lives longer. (4) Handling costs less on account of less weight and size. (5) Planting costs less; a two-year-old costs twice as much in digging the holes. (6) One-year-olds can be headed at any hight desired, whereas an older tree has to be taken just as you flud it. (7) Last but not least, It Is cheapest, and In this case, I believe, the 'cheapest is the best. H. C. Bateham. Trout Lake Yalley. Farmers are going into winter quar ters with more feed than ever before. The range is fine up to date, and stock is in excellent condition. . John Peterson returned from Golden dale, where he has been on duty as juror. . . . Mrs. Wagnitz and daughter Emma will soon leave fur Portland to spend the winter. , . .' John Yost is in Portland on business. A good many fat cattle have been driven to market lately. The prospect for a saw mill is as bright as it was four , years ago. The hope of a mill glows and wanes with the regularity of the moon. An astonishing number of hunters and trappers are in the surrounding mountains. Game Is as scarce as the hunters are plentiful. ' First Prize on Potatoes. Editor Glacier: In the issue of September 8th you state that you be lieve Mr. W, P. Watson received first prize on potatoes at the Hood River fair last year. The other day I saw in Harbison Bros.', mill a bucket received by them as first prize .on potatoes at the Hood River fair. It might interest tbe people of the valley to know that the potato which received first prize is the "Rural No. 2," sent out to subscribers of the Rural New Yorker. It has certainly proved a superior potato, both in yield and quality. It is large and smooth and free from scab and knots. X. The different Sunday schools of Hood River, through committees, soug.it to unite in a union Christmas entertainment, but owing to existing public sentiment of the unsafety of the armory building for a large crowd of children, the attempt has been necess arily abandoned. ' , ' The Dalles Chronicle of Wednesday said: "If three Hood River men are ac cepted as jurors in the Savage case it will nearly kill them if they have to agree, for such a thing was never heard of at their home." - A morning paper argues that the mortgage-tax law should not be re enacted, because its repeal has not had sufficient time to be tested;, that tbe people should wait two years yet, at least, in order to give It a fair trial. This is a reasonable statement, but the same argument is persistently denied by tbe same paper when the new tariff law is consiaerea. it argues mat tlie results of that law were fully found out even before the law had been passed. Welcome. , In the fifty-forth congress there will be a republican majority of about 140 in the lower house, and the populists will have only about half a dozen members. In the Senate the political division wil be close, and it may pos sibly be decided by the action of state legislatures that will choose senators this winter. Just now the prospect is that neither party will! Jul ve a majority in the senate, and. that the populists, with half a dozen members, will hold the balance of power.' It seems absolutely certain that so long as the agitation for free silver is kept up, so long will gold continue to be drawn out of the treasury as fast as it is gathered in. At this moment the treasury is being drained of gold which is paid out to redeem treasury notes to men who want to buy bonds, which are being sold for the express purpose of repieting tne goia reserve. J ne country is in the situation of the Illinois farmer who raises corn to feed hogs to buy land to raise corn to feed hogs, and so on ad infinitum. We have kept up the agitation for free silver till we are compelled to sell bonds to buy - gold enough to enable us to continue the agitation. Klickitat Republican. Horace, the only son of Governor Pennoyer, died Nov. 24th, at-Williams-burg, Mass., where he had been attend ing Williams college. . The boy was exceptionally bright, the pride of bis parents, whose hearts are broken by their loss. ' v A very inportant case has been on trial before the United States land office at Roseburg, for several months past, Involving the title to a very large body of timber lands in Jackson and Jose phine counties. .' The special agent for the government allege' in their com plaints that one Julius E. Minor caused a number of settlers to secure title to timber lands with , the understanding that the lands should be transferred to him upon the perfecting of title. : The contract was , carried out-; until Mr Minor had secured title, to nearly 60 claims,' containing" many thousand acres of valuable- lands.- .- Thei scheme worked well until a special agent of the1 - United States - land office from Washington took up the' matter, and cited Mr. Minor to substantiate his title. One of the cases was taken up, and it was finally determined to make it a test case, and it was fully tried, taking up the time and attention of the local officers of the land office for aljout four mouths. It is upon this case that Register Robert M. Veaich and Re ceiver Sheridan have just derided. In their decision they hold that the government has fully sustained their case, and that tne title zo tne lauus revert to the United States. The case will be appealed to the commissioner of the general land office, and from him, no doubt, to the secretary of the inte rior. That tne litigation consequent uixm the case will cost Mr. Minora large sum of money, and that he will no doubt eventually lose tne lanas, there can hardly be a reasonable doubt. A remarkable freak in moon phases was noted in the month of February. 1866 a month which has gone into astronomical annals as "the month without a full moon." In that year January and March each had two full moons, but February had none. A writer in a leading astronomical jour nal uses the following language in de scribing it: "Do you realize what a rare thing in nature it was? "It has not happened before since the beginning of the Christian era, or probably since the creation of the world. It will not' oc cur again, according to the computa tions of tbe Astronomer Royal of Eng land, for how long do you think? Not until after 2,500,000 years from 1866!" Only the Scars Remain.
