The Report! will be iu1mI hy the jtood people who received its weekly vli-lta and w as deserving of u Letter fate. The 201 1 session of the Oregon legis lature convened last Monday. An ef fort to economize In the matter of clerk litre wa made, but the rablile thai talhers at the capital to capture the alneiure clerkships proved too power ful, and there will be no reform along this line during the present session. Hon. J. V. Morton voted in the Inter est of the taxpayers on the clerkship question. County sheriffs and their deputies often lose their lives in the line of duty. It requires more courage to hold the office of sheriff and discharge its duties faithfully than to go to war. The fam ilies of Sheriff Williams and his deputy, the men w ho loft their lives through the treachery of the ufsussin Willard In Clatsop county last week, should be pensioned hy the state. An appeal was taken, January 6th, In the matter of the county court's eondem nation of property at the mouth of Hood River for a boom site. The property Is owned by the Hood River Lumbering Co., and a board of ap praisers appointed by the county court assessed the damages at 2,000. The Moro Observer says State Sen ator Dufur works 10 hours a day and will furnish his own type-writer du ring the assembly, but has never put in a bill for overtime. Men who work overtime when working for the people are not too plentiful nowadays, and if he doesn't look out he may get sent up for another term. Senator Hoar made a great speech In the senate lust Monday in reply to the Imperialist speech of Senator Piatt of Connecticut. The senator will now draw some of the fire that Is being di rected by the Imperialist press against ex-Senator Edmonds, Carl Sehurz, Andrew Carnagie and V. J. Bryan. If the sugar bounty bill becomes a law it will lie in order for Hon. J. V. Morton to tuck on an amendment giv ing a bounty to strawberry growers. Some of us are growing strawberries at a loss. No. 1, Vol. I., of the Barrett School Educator has been received as an ex change. It is written by the pupils of the school, R. R. Imbler editor. It will require $(155,802.10 to run the government of the state of Oregon for JS99, anil for which the state tax levy has been fixed at 5.9 mills. Common Council. Council met Tuesday evening, Jan. 10th. Present Mayor Smith, Alder men Bradford, Dukes, Jackson and Prather; Recorder NIckelseu and Mar shal Olinger. Committee on Are and water report ed having examined various premises deemed insecure on account of tire. Reports of recorder and treasurer re ceived and referred to incoming Una nee coin ii dt lee. Bills were ordered paid as follows: E. W. VVinans, for board while serving as judge of town election, 50 cents; marshal, for carting away six dogs found dead in the streets, $1.75; Geo. T. Prather, for rent of office for council meetings during the year 1808, $!). The bills of recorder and treasurer were re ferred to finance committee. Recorder reported there were no ot her bills outstanding against the town ex cept 20 cents for stationary. Aldermen-elect Dukes, Yates and Wood worth took the oath of office. The mayor announced the standing committees for 1800, as follows: Finance Bell, Ferguson and Yates. Judiciary Bradford, Dukes and Wood worth. Fire and Water Yates, Ferguson and Dukes. Streets and Public Property Dukes, Bell and Wood worth. Health and Police Woodworth, Bradford and Ferguson. The mayor then read his annual message, as follows: To the Common Council of the Town of Hood River Gentlemen: The town of Hood River is incorpor ated under and derives its powers iroru an act or the legislature en-'is titled "An act for a general law for the Incorporation of cities and townsinJ the state of Oregon." eec. L'U, in de fining the duties of mayor, contains this provision: "It is his duty at least once a yearto state to the council, hy message, the conditions, financially or otherwise, of the city, and recommend suih measures for Its peace, health and rrosperily as he may deem exedient. n conformity with this requirement of the statute I have the honor to submit for your consideration a brief commu nication. I commend your management of the linances of our lowu during j the past year. No Indebtedness ex ists on this date, all current expenses have been paid, and the treasurer' re port will show a balance to the order of the city. Nothing retards the growth and development of a commu nity more than a large amount of out standing obligutions, involving k cor- I responding degree of taxation. Our state, county and district taxes are suf ficiently burdensome upon our eople, and you and your prcdecessois have done well in maintaining our city gov ernment without levying any projierty tax for municipal purKe. No ordinances have been passed du ring the past year. Our people as a rule are disi osed t" govern themselves in a proper manner, and a multiplicity of laws would only tend to impair that sense of inilivlduul responsibility that all worthy cili.ena should feel. In I hi' connection 1 have to recommend that ordinance 7 be amended so as to ad thorixe the recorder to discriminate as to amount of license to be paid for giv ing entertainments of an educational nature. To preserve the peace of the community some suitable place should be provided w here violators of tiie law muy be con lined. Dining the straw Ix'r'ry harvest not less than a thousand strangers, many of them Indians, come to us, and an eftlcient marshal and se cure Jail would ad'ord a most whole some restraint. At all other seasons unltorm peace has prevailed. 'I lie health of our (own during the past year has been excellent, no eon--tagious disease, wltll t lie exception of, whooping cough, having prevailed. Hood River, with its Invigorating air, its well drained soil and pure water, will never lie unhealthy except through the neglect of its citizens in the care of their premises. Your committee on tire and police have visited tenements deemed unsafe and recommended im provements and changes that have been cheerfully complied with. In the absence of an organized (Ire company, I recommend that suitable ladders and buckets lie procured and placed at cen tral places. Asa further precaution, I suggest that our citizens provide rub ber hose that can be attached to the hydrants and carried to the rools of the buildings. Our educational Interests are in a most satisfactory condition, and never has greater Interest been shown by teachers and pupiU tliun at the present time. The wisdom of erecting our la rye and beautiful building is con stantly becoming more apparent. The on I hoi; for both town and valley was never brighter I ban at present. Our fruit growers have taken new en couragement from theexperience of the past year, and the tieur advent of im portant manufacturing Interests is giv ing hope and life to all classes of our people. It is expected that several brick busi ness buildings will be built the coming summer, and I call your attention to the necessity of establishing the grade of our business streets before these more permanent structures are erected. Let ua see to It that the government of our town adapts itself to changing conditions, to increase of population and wealth. And may we so conduct its affairs that our citizens will realize that we who temporarily till these of fices seek only the public good. I thank you, gentlemen, for the uniform courtesy extended to your executive officer during the past year. Respect fully submitted E. L. Smith, Mayor. On motion of Bradford, so much of the message us related to establishing the grades of streets was referred to the committee on streets and public prop erty; so much of the same as related to a city jail, to the committee on health and police; and so much as related to better protection from lire, to the com mittee on fire and water.

Mullie Dukes, a member of the hos pital corps of the Second Oregon Vols, in the Philippines, writes the following good letter to his folks in Hood River: Cavite, P. I., Nov. 10, 1898. You sum write it it was only to say 1 am well and that is about all there is to say. I feel as well as I could wish to; weigh ten pounds more I linn I ever did, and am dnblied "the good-natured fat boy." We have a Red Cross nurse with us at Cavite, a Miss S . 1 re ceived nn introduction to her today, when she said, "My! what a rosy, healthy face you have." I guess rosy, for I know I never blushed in my life as I did then. She kept her tongue running like a bell clapper for half an hour, and when she did sea fit to slop she said she would be through the ward again tomorrow. Anolhercomplinient I received was from a male member of the Red Cross who took dinner with us a week or so asm. When the stew ard introduced us the fellow turned to him and suid, "Is this a Spanish pris oner or an insurgent?" , The steward replied, "This is our negro mascot." I'll send you some photos one of these days and you can judge for yourself. I received the dictionary a very handy article, indeed; glad you sent it. The O. E. C, as you know, gent a box to the Second Oregon. When over at Manila, the other day, I thought I would get me a fever belt, and what do you think? the first one I picked un was stamped "Hood River, Oregon." It was a nice one, and well made. The work of raising the sunken fleet goes on. 1 had an excellent oppor tunity of transferring to the navy, but I found I would have to renew my en listment to three years, so thought I would stay with the hospital corps. It seems an age since we received any mail, but it is expected in every day. Nov. 12th Last evening I received two letters from you, dated Sept. 17th and 25th, a Gi.acikr of the 2;td, and several lolls of Orenonians. More mail expected today by wav of Hoinr Kong. I expect there will he more letters for me. I hope so, for I he more mail a fellow gets here the more tie wants. I was glad to hear Dr. Cams was improving. Nov. 21st. I nm having more leisure time now than I have had for a long time. Our sick list is decreasing daily; there are only about a dozen patients now, with four attendants, but three or four weeks ago we had between thirty and forty. I am on day duty now, and only w ork a half a day'at that. i Another of the sunken vessels, the' Isieae CUUh. was drought to the ton jTslerdny. 'i he aliip Itsle tie Luzon, of which I spoke In my last letter, whs on dry dock a week but is now afloat and ready to have her guns mounted. The weuther continues rainy, with an occasional tine day. This afternoon is bright and pleasant. I am sitting under the large banyan trees In from of the hospital and the Infernal mon keys are scattering leuves and beans down on me, and if we (brow at them they only seamier Id the tops of the trees and chatter and laugh if they enjoyed It. 1 have just been reading your letters of Oct. 13th and I7tli, which came on the Hcaudia, and with them four bundles of Oregon luns but no ULACIEK. The natives have been having a big time in Cuvlte this week; been cele brating their feastio. Yesterday was closing day, anil the natives came from far and near. The st reels were blocked all day and night. In the evening they had a parade. First came a tint liun'd, then a native currying a larg silver cross mounted on a long stuff; next a line of natives on each side of the street, currying lighted candles; then the suing bund and the priest; then the Ark of the, Covenant drawn by several natives; and last of all, those who were repenting of their sins; then another brass bund After inarching around town they went to the chun-h, where they curried on all night. The church w'us grand, being lighted from cellar to garret with candies. Tie priest wasdressod in a ml of fllnst silk embroidered with sliver and ir"i. This Is the place where Catholic thrive, and It would lie very unheiilty for any one to mention A. P. A. lu this neigh borhood . ,. I must quit w riting now and dust some mattresses and put them away until we have another rush. After the mattresses were dusted and put, away supper was ready and had to lie served, dishes washed and the ward put in readiness for the night men. Nov 24th.
