A Pleasant Yhit.
TlitimrcHtori-anntfTt1IVifBVTttiTe;r
Portsmouth, Oregon, last Saturday, and
were guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. V.Rand,
!; Mre very happily situated in that
pica- nt suburb of Portland. The fam
iiv - ft!. 0. llornung have been making
t!vii- homa with Mrs. Hornung's par
cuts him'.- coming from Kansas City last
sir'ug. Mr and Mrs. llornung are
pr-md of their little son, now a month
old. V. G. Clelland, another son-in-law,
resides at University Park, a few
blocks away. Mr. Clelland has a posi
tion in the O. II. & N. car shops, while
Mr. llornung is employed with the
North Paeitio sash and Door Co.
Portsmouth is four and one-half miles
from Portland. It is now reached by
the City and Suburban street railway
company and the St. Johns motor lino,
but poles have been set for an electric
road in place of the motor line, and
soon rars will be running through from
Washington street, Portland, to Ports
mouth in twenty minutes. This is one
of the prettiest "sections of the city of
Portland, and a stranger visiting Ports
mouth and University Park is struck
with the beauty of the' place as a site for
building a great city. University Park
laid claim to having the most advantages
for the site of the Lewis and Clark ex
position, and no more suitable place for
commemorating the work of Lewis and
Clark could be found. Standing on the
river bluff, 125 feet above the Willamette
river, at Colnmbia University, a good
view of the city of Portland and the riv
er can be had. A farm of 200 acres ad
joining the campus of the university,
anil the university building and campus
of 72 acres, have been offered for the use
of the exposition.
The Northern Pacific railroad com
pany will soon commence the construct
ion of the Columbia river bridge oppo
site University Park and will tunnel the
peninsula and bridge the Willamette at
the head of Swan island. There are a
great many handsome residences in this
part of Portland and no saloons. The
public school at Portsmouth is one of
the beet in the state. Lots can be
bought here at from $150 to $200 each.
There are two stores in Portsmouth.
Hurt Rand is clerking in one of them
and Harvey Hand, during school vaca
tion, holds a position in the other. If
we were not well satisfied with the fact
that Hood River is the best part of Ore
gon, we would like to reside at Ports
mouth or University Park.
T. ISishop Finds a Mineral Spring.
Thomas ISishop has found a mineral
spring on his place near the Barrett
school bouse. Mr.Iiishop sent samples of
the water to A.L. Knisely, chemist at the
Oregon agricultural ollege experiment
station, Corvallis, and received the fol
lowing reply:
"The two samples of water have
been examined and results are as
follows: The residue consists of .a
hydrated oxide of iron and allumina.
The sample of water gave the following
resnl'.s: In one million parts of the
water there arc 108 parts of solid residue
and its composition is the same as the
residue sent in separate bottle. We did
not find any sulphurconi pounds present.
A trace of carbonates was found. No
calcium, magnesium, silica, chlorides or
sulphates were found in the water, and
the mineral properties are due entirely
to the presence of iron and alumina." .
The spring is located on the bank of
Iii(!':i:i creek, and will run about 100
gall in ' an hour. The iron rust deposit
brought out oy the water is very notice
able, and when dried, leaves stains sim
ilar to rust from bar iron. The tem
perature of the water is slightly warm
and the iron rust is noticeable in the
taste of the water. Measured by an
ordinary Karenheit thermometer the
temperature of the spring registered 64
degrees, w hile the w ater of a pure spring
fifty yards distant showed a temperature
of (i2 degrees.
The result of the chemical analysis
was shown Dr. Brosius who says the
medicinal qualities of the water would
depend only on the small amount of
iron it contained, which might be val
uable if the spring hail a much greater
flow. To be of much value for medici
nal purposes, mineral spring waters
must contain sufficient carbonates and
sulphates, of which this contains none.
Illustrated Edit ion ' Bridge of the OimKs"
Mrs. Gertrude Ingalls has been noti
fied by A. C. McClurg & Co., of Chicago,
the publishers of Herbert Iiulch's now
famous "liridge of the Gods," that an
illustrated edition of this book is to be
brought out early in the fall. Tire new
edition w ill be somewhat larger in form
and will contain six full-page drawings
bv L. Mavnard 'Dixon, a wi ll known
Pacific coast artist. Herbert Balch, the
author of the "liridge of the Gods," a
brother to Mrs. Gertrude Ingalls, was
for many years a rerideutof Hood River.
Much of his time was spent among the
Columbia river Indians, whose various
languages ho was thoroughly familiar
with, lie gathered far and wide Indian
tales and legends, and from these he
wove the beautiful story and romance
told in the "liridge of the Gods." His
early death, shortly after the comple
tion of this his first literary production,
rut short a life tha pro'mned much.
This Oregon legend and romance is
meeting with a readv sale in all parts of
the United States, but should have a
particular interest to all people of the
I'licilie Northwest. The new illustrated
edition will he ready for the holiday
trade, and with Hood River people it
would make a moat acceptable gift to
Eastern friends.
MuMiuic Lodge to Erect Another Brick.
The Masonic lodge of Hood Kiver will
erect another brick building. The pro
posed structure w ill occupy the 25 feet
between the Masonic temple and the
corner brick being erected by E. L.
Smith. It will lie two stories high, and
100 feet long. The ground floor will be
occupied as a business house, while the
second floor will contain the Masonic
lodge banquet hall. There is some talk
of littiirj up two front rooms of the
second slorv for otlice rooms, but mem
bers of the lodge anxious to have a good
banquet room are opposing the idea.
The building will cost about 13,000 and
the contract for building the same has
been let to I. D. l'.oyed, who will put it
up in conjunction with the Smith brick
and w ill have both the buildings com
pleted by November 1. The completion
of these buildings will give Second street
opposite the post office UK) feet of brick
store frontage, and w ill make that street
one of the 1 1 vest parts of town.

The Dry Goods Economist of New
York city' states that this will I the
geatest fall geafon sofur as regards the
retail-rtryBoMs business thattherelias
ever been in the history of the trade.
Reports from retailers all over the
United States strongly confirm this
statement. In its issue of August 23
the Economist publishes the following
report from Frank A. Cram of the Up
to-Date store, Hood River:
"A large strawberry crop well mar
keted, with increasing demand for
Hood River lierries; an unusually big
apple yield in prospect, with active ad
vance demand for same; Eastern I mm I

Council Proceedings.
The common council met in regular
session Monday night. Present Mayor
Brosius; Councilmen Blowers, Clarke,
H. F. Davidson, P. S. Davidson, Mc
Donald, Rand; Recorder Nickelsen,
Marshal Dukes.
Councilman McDonald, as chairman of
the committee on streets and public
property, reported regarding the pro
posed city lot that there was money on
hand to pay for the same and to secure
a deed to the land ; that the contractors
agreed to put up a building and to ac
cept time warrants as payment; that
the plans and estimates for a city sewer
system arranged for by the previous
council were on the recorder's table.
Marshal Dukes reported having col
lected $3.50 pound fees since last report
of August 20.
On motion of Councilman McDonald
the words in proposed Ordinance No. 61
which read "exorbitant or unreasonable
in comparison with the company's reve
nue" were ordered to read "exorbitant
or unreasonable for the eervices ren
dered." Ordinance N6. 61 then passed second
reading and final passage without dis
cussion, Councilmen P. 8. Davidson and
D. McDonald voting no.
Councilman McDouald reported fur
ther that the claim agent of the O. R. &
N. company offered to pay $25 for fire
damages to the pest house property.

sewer system. Councilman McDonald
added to this report that the proposed
sewer system, which included a branch

Adjourned.
.Public School Opened Tuesday."
The Hood River public school opened
Tuesday with an enrollment of 229 pu
pils, an increase of 36 over the number
on the opening day of last year. The
rooms are all well crowded and it is
feared that the services of another
teacher will be required before the year
has progressed very far. The increase
of Mi pupils is in itself an addition large
enough to give work to a seventh teach
er. More seats will be placed in various
rooms where possible, and il necessary
some of the grades will probably be
moved into the old school building now
occupied by the A. O. U. W. and G. A. R.
as lodge halls. This would relieve the
congestion in the new school house and
make it much pleasanter for both teach
ers and pupils.
The work of the school has been as
signed among the six teachers as fol
lows :
Protessor Thompson, principal, will
have charge of the 8th and 9th grades;
Miss Minnie Shungel, the 7th grade and
half the 6th ; Mrs. Margaret Reid, one
half the 6th and the 5th; Miss Mabel
Riddell, the 4th and part of the 3d ;
Miss Kate Earl, part of the 3d and the
2d; Mrs. Emelie Shaw.the primary pu
pils. This arrangement gives each teach
er work equivalent to two of the grades.
The children have taksn up their
school work with a right good spirit af
ter a four months' vacation. Many of
the children are still at work at the box
factory, fruit cannery or on farms in the
country and a steady increase in attend
ance is expected up to the holidays. In
the 7th grade there were 33 students
registered on the opening day.
Shipping Summer Fruits.
Things are lively with the Davidson
Fruit company. (Two carloads of ap
ples, pears and plums were sent out
Wednesday evening, consigned to mar
kets in Colorado and North Dakota.
The cannery is running now on toma
toes and pears. Most of the tomatoes
are shipped in from White Salmon, A.
IC. Jwrkctl oi that section sending in a
coupie of tons every day or so. These
tomatoes are particularly tine In qual
ity. The Davidson Fruit company is pay
ng 65 cents a box for Uravensteins
this summer. This is a good price,
considering the fact that two years ago
the prevailing price was oO cents. 1 he
price for pears and plums is not overly
brisk this season, the markets being
well supplied with fruit of this descrip
tion. Of 44 carsof fresh fruit sent into
New York city in one day this week,
33 of them were llartlett pears. Black
berries are a scarce article and bring
$1.50 a crate delivered in Hood Kiver.
The box factory Is busy turning out
apple toxes and will be kept at this
work for some time Income. The ap
ple growers still neglect to send in esti
mates on their fruit crop, as was re
quested by the Davidson Fruit company
a month ago. i he iruu ooxes are now
being made of larch lumber, which re
tains a nice white appearance on its
arrival in the market.
Fifty Books for One Dollar.
Arrangements have been partially
mail. In nriki'iil. nti im.fiwHuta fitn nd.
ard library for the Brotherhood of An
drew and t tulip, fur two rents a
week Hood Kiver people may read the
latest works ot present day writers. In
order to make the library a success it
will lie necessary to secure 60 persons
who will pay one dollar for the priv
ilege of using the library one year.
Each sutscrilH-r may use one book each
week. In no instance will they be al
lowed to keep it longer than two weeks.
Such books as ''The Maxter Christian,"
"Stringtown on the like," "Ehen Hol
den," "Up from Slavery," "The Man
from Glengarry," etc., will give an
idea of t be character of t he books. N o
trashy, cheHp liooks will be purchased.

R. S.Andrftw and- B. R. Tucker re
turned last week from their trip around
the base of Mount Hood. They report
a good trip, with fair success at hunting
and prospecting. Two pack horses were
t iken along, and by keeping near the
s jow line the distance was considerably
lessened. The circuit of the mountain
was made from the headwaters of the
East Fork, around the Elk beds below
Cloud Cap Inn. Some of the country
was ruggedly picturesque, and a camera
could have been used to good advantage

ingwajverv good, and altogether the
trip was well worth taking.

there are about 100 in camp.

S. C. Reigler came over the Columbia
Thursday morning. He reports things
booming at White Salmon. Mr. Zeigler
shipped something over 1300 crates of
tomatoes this season and will make an
other small shipment. There was no
blight on the vines this year and the
fruit was fine. Prices were not so good
as last year, but the price is now ad
vancing. The Mount Hood hotel placed a num
ber of electric lights inconvenient places
on the porches, during the week. This
will mean a decided improvement to the
hotel and will be of great convenience
to the traveling public. If the city
would assist in part of the expense, the
hotel would continue with the arc lights
at the head of the stairs leading up from
tne station.
