FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1903.
A Five Mill Tax.
A small number of taxpayers gathered
at the school house Friday afternoon to
vote a tax for carrying on our school for
the ensuing year and to pay interest on
bonds. A total of 21, including the
janitor and one non-resident, were
enough interested to attend the meet
ing. The clerk, C. E. Hemman, had
posted figures as follows on the black
board when the meeting wag called to
order by Chairman T. It. Coon:
Ex peuses for present school year
Salaries. $ 2,840
Wood 100
Water 40
Incidentals 20
Interest on bonds 5(K)
Total 3,500
The amount of assessable property in
the district at last assessment was 315,
440. The number of children of school
age found in the dietrict at last census
was 44a.
G. J. Gessling moved that a tax of 4
mills be levied 1.4-5 mills to pay inter
est on bonds and 2.2-10 mills for salaries
and incidental expenses.
Considerable discussion ensued. Mr.
Gessling explained that, counting upon
an increase in the school population of
about 75, and an increased apportion
ment from the state per capita, a 4-mill
tax" would be enough to meet all expen
ses of the school for the coming year,
including the employment of two ad
ditional teachers.
C. A. Bell said that he had estimated
the cost of the school for the coming
year, and he found that a 5-mill tax
would be required.
Chairman Coon urged that the tux
be levied upon a basis of a nine-months
school.
I). McDonald was very much in favor
of a nine-months term of school and
moved to amend Mr. Gessling's motion
by making it read 3.1-5 mills for salaries
and incidental expenses. The amend
ment carried, when the original motion
was put and adopted unanimously and
the meeting adjourned.
Council Proceeding.
The council met in special session on
luuuuny evening, January to, 10 con'
gider the matter of levying a tax for
citv purposes.
Present Mayor Coon, Aldermen
Blowers, H. F. Davidson, Prather, Gess
ling and Mayes, Recorder Nickelaen and
Marshal Uunning.
The mayor stated the object for which
the special meeting had been called.
Alderman Prather oi moped the lew
of a tax on the ground that anything
cient to provide the necessary funds for
fire protection and other necessary im
provements, and as such a tax would
cause great dissatisfaction he opposed
the levy of any tax at all, claiming that
H the city could not make necessary
improvements it could get along without
a tax( as it had done in previous years.
Alderman Blowers also opposed a tax
on the ground that very little could be
accomplished with the amount that
would be thus raised, but said that as
the present condition of the cess-pools
throughout the city were a menace to
public health, he would be. -heartily in
favor of bonding the city foe the amount
necessary to put in. a sewer system,
Alderman Maves said that while he
was not as familiar with the conditions
as some ot trie memoers, It was evident
that the city must have revenue to pay
ordinary running expenses and he wue
in favor of a tax that would be sufficient
for that purpose.
Alderman Gessling favored a small
tax for running expenses, figuring that
the dog tax and other items collected
by the mnrshal would help out consider
ably. Alderman H. F. Davidson favored the
levy of a tax sufficient to meet all ordi
nary demands without danger of run
ning the. city into debt. He said that
the business interests of the city de
manded some protection, and therefore
it was necessary to have a city marshal ,
and as the city derived its support from
the surrounding country he thought
that the city Bliould furnish some street
lights for the accommodation of people
from the country whea business de
manded their presence in town after
night, as well as for the convenience of
residents. He therefore moved that a
levy of five mills be made.
1 he motion was seconded by Mayes.
Gessling moved to amend by substi
tuting three instead of five mills, which
motion was seconded by Blowers.
Lenlie Butler was accorded the privi
lege of the floor and made an eloquent
plea in faor of a five-mill tax, holdnij
that the interest of the city demands
an increase rather than a decrease in
that rate.
On the question of the amendment
lllowers, Gessling and rrather voted
aye, II. F. Davidson and Mayes, no, and
Ihe amendment carried.
On the motion as amended, Prather
voted no, all others aye and The motion
prevailed.
This levy, if all taxes Bre collected,
will provide a revenue of only $086.44,
or a little more than will ne necessary
to pay the marshal's salary.
On motion the council adjourned.
Mure Markets for Hood River.
H. F. Davidson returned Monday
from an extended trip South and East,
where lie has been looking up future
markets for the fast increasing fruit
products of thib section which are being
marketed oy his company. Me reports
the prospect for markets for our fruit
as being excellent, particularly in
strawberries and apples, nur specialties,
and made arrangements with the best
houses in the cities visited for hand
ling the shipments of the Davidson
Fruit Co. The trip extended as far as
New York, where Mr. Davidson Inves
tigated the cider and vinegar business
and arranged with an expert in this
line to take charge of this department
of their factory, and a complete cider
and vinegar plant will be added to the
business. At present the supply of a
grade of fruit necessary to make a plant
of this kind profitable is too limited to
operate a separate cider and vinegar
plant lu Hood River, as the farmers are
now producing a very small pertentage
of cull apples, and of course nothing
else can be used, as first class fruit In
too valuable; but the Davidson Fruit
Co. will arrange to do this work in
connection with their canning busi
ness, and wilt use up the waste that
heretofore has been a total lot. In
addition to the siua'l revenue this will
give the growers fur their otherwise
worthless fruit, it will Induce them to
get this fruit out of the orchards and
will have a good Influence in keeping
down the pcttts and diseases that at
tack the fruit. The cannery will be in
operation again this season, and an
opportunity will be given to the grow
era to sell such fruit as they may have
that is suitable for canning. Tbe price
of first-class berries has always been too
high for canning, but with the largely
Increased acreage it is, expected there
Will be enough berries that w ill get too
ripe for shipping, which, along with
the culls that am worked into cheap!
jams, will furnish enough fruit tooper-1
ate without Ihe luies that have here
tofore been made nu account of a lack
of supply of berries.
Mr. Davidson snys Ms trip has made
a larger and much tetter market for
the product of Hood River fiti'ms. The
apple crop was extremely heavy
throughout the country, but the mar
ket for the high grade Hood River
apples has iieen good, and while there
is a prost.t for a much larger crop of
strawberries In California, Colorado,
Missouri and Wisconsin next season
than for several years past, yet the
dealers all say they have a good trade
for fancy Hood River berries and want
them In large quantities, but that it is
useless to ship ordinary fruit, as they
call get plenty of that kind nearer
home.
Mrs. Davidson, who accompanied her
husband on his Eastern trip, will re
main until March 1, when she will
return to her Hood River home accom
panied by Wm. H. Chipping and fam
ily. Mrs. Chipping is a daughter of
Charles Davidson nnd sister of H. F.
Davidson." They . will make Hood
River their future home.

STORY OF THE
Spot Cash Grocery.
Once there was a grocer with a sparse patch of greens on his chops
and a physiognomy that slanted out from his chin upward like ft corn
crib. Despite his abnormal bulb you could have crowded all his grey
mutter Into a medium sized nut. In other words, his stock of credulity
wits a number of caudle powers in excess of his blimp of sagacity.
Which explains why he sold his goods on time and promises, instead
of extending his mitt for the root of all evil.
The people viewed him 'as a sort of open-door proposition, and
numbers of tlioui came in and engaged space lit his ledger to the extent
of aeverul chapters. On spare evenings the grocer was want to trot out
the big book and gloat over the prospects It was literally bulging with.
He built beautiful ethereal castles, lie eould peep into tho future and
see that atlluence and holidays were almost in pins and needles await
ing his arrival. Eveiything'brlght and worth while was frantically
beckoning him.
After u spell, though, he was awakened by a cruel hump, and he
began to realize that he was playing against awheel of fortune with
numerous blanks I hereon. Jabe Skinner's account had grown venera
ble and Jabe sort of hung back about disgorging.' Spin Watson's aim
in life appeared to be to put growth on his I. O. U. Abe Buck didn't
lose any sleep over his'n. In fact there was a whole tribe of folks who
seemed to be too proud lo beg, too honest to steal, and so got trusted.
There wits another strata just above these proud hounds which now
and then sauntered in and paid part on account, on the same principle
that a man spits on his bunds to wade in all Ihe harder. To be sure a
good many conscientious souls puid up promptly, but they were on the
short end of the teeter, and so things wouldn't balance for the grocer.
Now it is not w ritten that a dealer who is sutislled with a full
ledger and a lot of palavering customers is likely to blossom out Into a
J. Pierpont Morgan or. a soulless corporation. This idea got right
fbrninst Mr. Grocer, then, and made his brain purr. He realized Ihut
he had grasped opportunity by the end of the tail and just escaped
being kicked to death. Hinlit there and llien lie placed the seat of his
trousers carefully on top of the otlice stool (he being within at (he time)
grasped the pen of his errors, and straight way resolved that henceforth
no living soul would curry away any of his goods without Hashing the
evil rhino. It wasn't a dog's age before the people b.-g.-m to get next
to the fact that the old grocery man knew his p's mid q's. He eouhl
buy more In the ojieii market with ready money. He could give heup
ing measures to his patrons for the actual dough al the lime. His- lati
tude was broadened in diverse ways. And Irs customers) saw that they"
were getting the long end of the thing. There were no hook mistakes
looming up every little while. Spot cash guarded t lie Interests of cus
tomers. It keeps its Eigle Oplics peeled for the grocery man.
