3esd Iiver Slacier. FRIDAY, MARCH 0, 1S9G. The Valley Improvement Company. . The Valley Improvement company was organized under the present arti cles of incorporation on Nov7 15, 1895, l.y O. A. Bell, L. E. Morse, J. E. Han na, C. M. Wolfard, J, H.Ferguson, P. A. 'Snyder, F. Davenport and H. F. Davidson, by. whom a majority of the capital stock, $20,000,, was subscribed. The matters of securing the right of way and other rights and privileges were pushed ahead ar, fust as was prac ticable, until tnerigntor way was se cured all nlong the river bluff out as far as to (he land owned by M. P. Isenberj:, near where Mr. S.W. Arnold now reside, mid nil parties holding land below tliia place are very willing to give the right of way as soon as the route is definitely located. The survey has been made and stakes lire set on the line of the proposed ditch as far as it is necessary to have any sur '.;' veying done, and all la in readiness to cro to work. - . The expense of the. legal work. and surveying are all paid, so at the present time any assessments which might be JCVICU Will UC3 UOCU ll'l WUOll UVbllJg IUC ditch and flume, as soon as a suf ficient amount is collected to justify oiaklnga start. The demand for water is an impera tive one, as t his season the applications for water fiom the present water sup ply company have been double the ca pacity of the ditch, and with a" mere prospect for a full supply another sea eon the demand would be trebled, as me general ciamor is ror -iviore wacen . and how and when can we get It?" As a business proposition, this enter prise is certainly desirable, especially to those who have real estate or business , interests in the valley. . ."'..' The Water Supply Co. have paid over $8,000 for their ditch system and have for sale 250 miner's Inches of wutwp pnfittnrr lit liA rafa nf mrat 39 per inch, and the stock in the company has never sold below par. By the new ditch 3000 miuer's inches will be brought into the valley at a maximum cost of $25,000, making the property worth, on the basis of the present water i-niimn n v. SOfiflOO. Ttufc nreamnlncr I fc , T ' I O that the demand for water for the year after the completion of the ditch would not exceed 1,000: inches, the property . would then be worth $32,000,., or about $7,000 more thin actual cost, and will pay a good income on the iuvestmeut with a certainty of a gradual increasing demand until the entire supply will be used. When we say there is a de mand next year for 1,000 inches of . water we mean at the rate of $5. per inch, which is the price now realized, una at a reuuceu rate mucu more would be asked for for irrigating meadows, pastuies, etc., while the $5 rate might - 1... .....

Morse, for the purpose of receiving sub scriptions to the capital stock by those who feel able and willing to help push this matter forward. :' The kIzh of th nnrlpi-f-nkina' u-tll nf course necessitate the very strongest ' effort on the part of every individual in tne valley or interested in the pro gress of the valley, in the line of giving Huusiaiiuat aiu. x ue more general tne stock is taken up the faster the work will be put forward. It is reasonably certain that the ditch will be built, and the time it will take depend) upon the . liberality of support. ,. There will be a meeting of the sub' ecribers to tbe capital stock in Hood River, on Saturday, March 14th, at 2 p. m., for the purpose of giving thesub ecribers at that time an opportunity to choose a board of directors and make such recommendations as they wish carried out. , Let every person make himself a committee of one to see to it mat no person wno is aoie to give this , proposition help fails to do so and en- f Hble himself to take part in the election of officers; and help Id making the Im mediate progress of the valley a matter i of Importance to home-seekers. ' j , Both houses of congress have passed resolutions, by nearly unanimous vote, recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cubans. This action may cause .war between the United States and Spain. Congress jseenis disposed to get us into ' a war with some foreign power before they get through, and, strange to say, its action is backed . by the great ma jority of the people of all parties. Kcarly everybody seems to be "in favor of the next war." Our statesmen could better subserve the interests of the country by making provision for coast defenses and improving our navy be fore passing resolutions that may: re sult in war with even as weak a nation as .Spain. : , The contractors-tit the locks say that It will take several weeks yet to com plete the vork. , If it, should lie decided to constant, retaining walls for tho middle lock, a month will probably be occupied in this work. ' - McKiuley seems to be the f.ivorite presidential candidate with the repub licans of Oregon, as he is with the re-. jiublicans of most of tlje Western States without a favorite son of their own. Morrison seems to lead with the dem ocrats of the West. ,The avowed can didates of the republicans are making a hard fight for the nomination, as if it was worth fighting for. With the democrats and populists the office is seeking the man, and It may not find him in these parties in 1890. It is a wonder some enterprising free silver statesman didn't move that a free-silver amendment be tacked onto the Cuban resolutions.' "'"' ' Some " Old Fashioned Gospel.''

Dear Bro. B. Iwailt Ko address you that way just for short, as your kite with that.long tail-to it: tabes, up" too much precious -space in-the U-LAtliEB. I call you "brother," because1- we' were" taught in Sunday school that the Ashantee nigger and the king of Da homey, bath cannibals, -when .Sitting on the ground and gnawing'lneat fiptu the bones of a dead nigger's leg, remind you of the pictures . of Adam and Eve In their innocence and beauty, taken by a photographer in .Eden. .. Perhaps you have noticed, yourself, a striking family resemblance when comparing the pictures of those people with, your photo and mine, embellishing he, cen-. ter of the group, forcibly 'reminding' us that we all sprung from Adamiiiia are all near of kin all brothers. ! There might be this difference . between us: While our brother in Africa preferred his meat raw, you might Call. for yours cooked rare, while I might say, "Tnank you; no janitor In mine.", i.We should not fall outaboutsuch "non-essentials." as a niatter-of taste. NOW) ' brother, lets .to business. . I fear from yoiir ; cpi'stlej 'tla't She "heaven ly do ve" ' that flew 'out of the window. left open by,,the janitor ndve'r found a- resting- place in youv;boS()m. If it had," you "would" have" taken : the! advice Of Josiah Allen's'ife-7"In writing or speaking be flrra but carm.'!. You certainly had not held' your head" under cold water to produce a "carro." state of mind, or you would not have. indulged in such expressions as: "Such case-hardened specimen as W; L, A. ;" "in one breath they "rave, fat .their, maker;" "any trace of decency that may have ever dwelt in their systems;!' "if their progeny end on the gallows," etc; "a lotof parasites like by W.L.A.'! ."roar of intolerance, rage and ridicule;" "fire away, old man, for thy days are numbered;" "venomous reptile;" 'ex- cresence among men ." - Bro. B., such ebullitions of wrath,' while not affecting me; injure you rself with all decent men In your-own church; and such m.embers'as yo'u:.will deter people of refinenieuttfrom endur ing your smell, and the. poor' Janitor will be called on;' by a unanimous -vote to leave the windows "upon both sides of the house" and a door open at each end. Then, Bro. B., why cannot you write without lying about your betters?. If all liars shall have their part in a lake of fire and brimstone, you ought to tremble .when you read the follow-' ing choice statements in-your 'letter: "1 have met such persons (as W.L.A.) in many places. In .one breath they rave at; their maker and revile all the efforts which their fellow men make to restrain evil and lift the fallen;" "he refers unfeelingly to "the death of New ton Thomas;" "if I am not mistaken, the sermon was reprinted entire in Eastern papers." If it.were rep'rinted. East, where wasi.t printed, here first?-. Your informant .'has . slandered' Dr.: Thomas, and you have gladly fathered the falsehood, as you" have knowingly and; wilfully -falsified: in ." every1 -Statement quoted above..,, , , i- But, Bro B.; I see'jiu aj;e a praying man "We . havercason to thank God that such case-hardened: specimens as W. L. A. do not predominate." I once read of one of your sanctimonious an cestors who ''went Jiito .the"temple to bray "1 thank God J am -not as other men." xiie poor publican-: made a. short prayer, which reached the palace royal of the universe "God be merciful to me a sinuer." . We meekly "suggest to you, Bro. B.,Tas neitlier you nor any of your kind have ever had a petition answered yet you should,; leave off braying like a Pharisee and go to brav ing the prayer of . the publican.' , Again, "mere, ,.m en inext time write are enough .of them in existence to cause a running sore in every com munity." Ulaa,l've. got. arunningJ sore on you., as a pnysiciau, 1 have always endeavored to get a. running sore on patients suffering froni poison ous blood, venereal taint and other bad disorders. Bro. B., lust keep that sore running, till your blood ttets lii tietter condition. Don't. put a piaster on it . keep it running; your health depends on it. "If their progeny (such as W. J Ji. end on the gallows, who will be to blame?" Weep, not for me, Bro. B.., but for yourself and your own children". My "progeny"' are taught that every crime carries a sure punishment. They are taught that the Wretch who goes to: the gallows witli the blood and hair of, an innocent- "unconverted1.' daughter I ravished und. murderer), sticking to the haft of his butcher knife, cannot bei translated toplory by kissing a crucifix, j or by the mighty intercession of a car-! son with the Deity, to have ins bed jn j hell assigned to the murdered victim, I while tho murderer goes to mansions hastily prepared fo! liim; with eider down accompaniments, just after ttie parson had . telephoned . up-from thi! scaffold "Get ready for another saint." "Allowing .that Christianity is mere chimera, as W. L. A. would liave us believe, what a blessed .thing it Ls aiter an. vv no wants to j?ei a way from it?" Your kind of Christianity is not found in the Bible. What you call Christianity I call rt sanctified tiiijtfr' stition. .The murderer, on thiPgalknv.S Will J"u JlllI JULll jhuii, ws long as you think there Is any danger, of being hung. You may not fear death on the gallows, but you do not wish to '"get away from it" for the same reason a boy over 00 years ago gave me, when I asked him why he didn't cure his'itch "I don't want to cure it; it. feels-so good to scratch!" Scratch on, brother, and be sure to keep that fore running. "They tell (such as W. L. A.) of thei r fine old Covenanter ancestry; tacitly admitting that any trace of decency that may have ever dwelt in their sys tern8:had its origin in Christianity. "No . one will .deny that in ages past; much evil has been done in the nania. of religion, but in those darkened days: bigotry was a power and temporal su premacy was the end -sought after.,'.''
