Hume Rural Telephone.
Portland.Orefron, March 3,1903. Col.
J. P. Shaw, et hI : Concerning my re
cent talk with come of the residents of
Hood River valley, I beg to hand you
below our proposition for furnishing
them with our local and long distance
telephones.
If the fanners or others who are one
quarter of a mile or more outside the
city limits will construct and maintain
their own lines clear into our ollice at
Hood River, we will lease them our
regular hint; distance telephones at the
rate of $(1.00 per year per station. This
entitles them to the use of our Hood
River exchange without additional
charge. Should they desire to use our
long distance at any time the conversa
tion or message would be subject to our
regular Hood River long distance tariff
rate. This rate to apply to an organi
zation as a whole or to any set of resi
dents along any specified road who
might join together in the construction
and maintenance of their line. In the
latter this would be an easy and inex
pensive proposition, provided the people
on any specified road should use 2x4
or 4 x 4 uprights nailed to their fence
posts. This would be sufficient to carry
the two wires that would answer in sup
plying subscribers on any one road up
to 15 in number. Should they desire,
we can meet any line undir this ar
rangement at the city limits with a loop
of wire which we would stretch and
maintain at our own expense upon our
own poles from our office to the city
limits at the rate of $2 50 per month
for each loop of wire so brought in.
That is. the $2.50 permonth would be di
vided between the 15 subscribers upon
any line that might have that number,
which is lti cents each. The company
would furnish the first equipment of 3
cells of battery for each phone, which
would IttBt in the neighborhood of ayear.
After that, as battery is needed, the com
pany would furnish the subscribers bat
tery at cost (about 15 cents per cell.)
The above proposition moans, that
should a telephone get out of order or
cease to be a telephone from any cause
or be destroyed by fire, that the com
pany will deliver to the subscriber at
our'olhce in Hood River a new set of
telephones to take the place without addi
tionul cost or expense to the subscriber,
The defective telephone to be returned to
our Hood River oflice. In this way the
company practically masntains the tele
phones and the subscribers maintain
their lines. Yours truly
3. 11. Thatcher,
O. E. Williams:
Siiniilementinif my letter of March 3,
I will add that in cases where our poles
will accomodate another wire without use
of cross-arms nnd in case where farmers
line is to parallel our poles for a consid
erable distance, we will construct and
maintain so far as it runs upon our
poles with the proviso that the poles
will accommodate the line at the rate of
$1.00 per month per mile or fraction of
a mile; we maintain and build the line
so far as it runs upon our poles. This
pole and line charge to be divided pro
rata amonest the subscribers on the
line and to be paid monthly in advance
J. H. T.
When the above proposition was out
lined briefly by Mr. Thatcher at the tel-
phone meeting, I was heartily in favor
of it, but now that he Iibb put it in defi
nite shape and hedged it in witn so many
obiectiouable features, I beg leave to
aouciid the following objections and
suggestions. Although I give Mr.Thatch-
er due credit for integrity and honesty
of purpose. I appreciate the position he
is in and clearly foresee the difficulties
which both the farmers and the com
puny will have to contend with under
the conditions of his proposition.
Mr. Thatcher will charge us 50 cents
a month for telephone rental, $1 per
month per mile line and pole charges
where his poles are used, $2.60per
month terminal charges for each line
into his office, and 45 cents por year for
battery charge. These charges to be
evenly divided betweu the subscribers
on each line. The farmers' lines will
parallel nearly every mile of the compa
ny's lines, for sometime at least there will
not be to exceed one subscriber to the
mile, sometimes not so many, which
would make the line charge at least $1
per month per man, which added
to the other charges brings the amount
up to $1.70 per month, and in cases
w here there could not be secured 15 sub
scribers on a line, may go beyond the
present charge of $2 per month, besides
the expense of erectingaud maintaining
line from our residences to where it in
tersects the company's line.
Again, when under the old regime, it
was almost impossible to get necessary
repairs when the charge was $2 a phone
what may we expect when it is but 50
cents a phone, as it will be if we build
our lines all the way into the central
office? We have had the best of man
agers, lest of line men, all of them good
friends of the country subscribers, but
the fact remains it took rive or six weeks
to get a five minutes job done so that
the phone would work satisfactorily and
this only a mile and a half from town.
Will the company put on sufficient force
under the new regime to give better ser
vice, or will we bring in a disabled tele
phone and wait a ionth or two for one
to take it place?
Another thing, while having a good
opinion of Mr. Thatcher, believing him
t., li fair nnd honest in his iutelitions,
it in a litiln HiiiLcstive of a desire on his
part to defeat the farmers' movement by
encouraging and advising them by im
plication at least to putup unsatisfactory
and insufficient sup!Hrtsas 2 x 4 nailed
to fence posts. Such flimsy supports
for the wires will lead to dissatistaction
among the subscribers and between
Ilium un.f ill. CflllkimilV.
In regard to the use'of the long dis
Imne twinii denied to the
hrmon if u ill) not RL'i'CPt Mr. Tliatcll
era proposition, it will be remembered,
that the Western Union telegraph com
Hood River will gladly
iruimmit smh messages as we deire
hovond our lines. But Mr,
Ti.atnhor hna not denied us this courtesy
except bv inference, and we hope his
company will see it to their interest to
accept our business on the same basis as
that of the remainder of the puDliu
One of the greatest objections to Mr.
Thatcher's proposition is that it limits
us to Hood River and the valley, ii we
wish to talk with Mosier, The Dalles,
Mount Hood, Nieolai, Viento, or any of
these nearby points, which we will teu
i.,,,,.. iii.ii hs to some far distant
tH.int. we will have to pay the regular
long distance rate under his proposition,
while on the other hand, within ft year
all these points will doubtless be con

Another objection to the proposition
as it stands is that there is not lung to
prevent Mr. Thatcher's company from
gathering up all the old out of date dis
carded telephones in Portland, Tacoma,
and Seattle, and unloading them on us
1 don't think Mr. 1 hatcher
-.:..i.i . .). t do so. but to the average
director of the company the scheme
would appear a great stroke of economy
and that these old machines were good
enough for us. - ,
ltut the greatest objection of all and
ti... I inusider lalal to the
proposition is, the injustice that it works
upon the aniens ol Uoou wut pro-i
They were as willing as any of ns to go
into this movement to secure cheaper
telephone service, and - they should by
no means be left out of the game now.
I appreciate Mr, Thatcher's position, he
is working 'to retain all his business and
by putting out numerous phones in the
valley, that for various reasons above
mentioned will not prove satisfactory,
he hopes to secure them as regular pat
rons of his company, using his own
lines and phones. This is business, and
is all right from his aide of the question,
but we, who are in daily communica
tion With our cityfriends'cannot afford
to accept a service they have aided us
to secure at 50 cents a mouth and leave
them to pay $2 and more for the same
service. It is a move in the right
direction for the people of the country
and the people of the town to come to
gether and to stand by each other, if we
will do this Mr. Thatcher's company
will either extend the same rates to our
city friends or we will be able to put in
a first class independent system. If we
do not we lose our prestige " with our
friends in the city, they will be shy of
helping us in another emergeucy,we will
secure unsatisfactory and in the long run
more expensive telephone service thaD
that which we now have. Citizen.
Lost Lake Lumber Company.
The machine man of the Glacier office
went over to the Lost hake .Lumber
company's mill the other day to get a
small job of turning done, and while
Frank Davidson did the work the Glar
cier man took in the mill.
If a man likes machinery it would be
a source of pleasure to him to watch the
workiug of the great mass of it
in operation in that mill, and to note
how smoothly and nicely it moves.
Everything goes like it was greased from
the time the log catcnes on ine aogs oi
the log-way that elevates th logs from
the river and brings them in to the
great buzzing baud saws, until the man
ufactured products are segregated and
deoosited in their individual stations
in the yaras surrounding ine . mm.
r . , . , . .i in
One of the most ingenious contrivances
is the "nigger," as it is called, a steam
working machine for turning the log on
thecarriaee. The sawyer has two levers,
one to control the carriage, the other
to work this nigger. A log is allowed to
roll down the incline on to the carriage,
where the sawyer sizes it ap and if it don't
lie to suit him, a Slight pun oi tne lever
and the nigger runs his long steel arm
up past the side of. the log while-the
strong steel teeth.with which the arm is
provided.engages the log rolling the big
heavy five and six-foot fellows as easily
and as quickly as a baby would a corn
cob when playing with itonthe-floor.The
sawverthen pulls the other lever and
the carriage starts forward ' with the
speed of a trolly car. The log strikes the
saw without meeting the.least apparent
resistance, as the saw cuts through the
bin loe like a hot knife through butter.
Immeditely the Baw is through the log
the sawyer reverses his carriage lever
and the carriage skins quickly back to
its starting point. As the log clears the
saw aud at the same instant that the
sawyer reverses his lever the carriage-rider
pulls a lever drawing the log away from
the saw, and while the carriage is going
to its startimr point the ratchet-setter
works another lever, throwing the log
one, two, or more inches toward the
saw as he is signaled bv the sawyer, for
they have a code of signals to comiminl
cate with, and then as the carriage
reaches the startinit point the rider
throws his lever toward the saw again
which puts the log in the position for
the next cut, ana so iney ny uacn aim
forth with the speed of the weaver's
shuttle, sliciniz '.he big logs up at the
rate of a million feet a day when run
nins at full capacity. After the slabs
are cut off one side of the log the nigger
gives the log a little Corbett punch ' in
the side wincn w nins ii over wnu uiv
flat side down, and if the log does not
rest Bolidly against the headblock the
sawver bv another pull of the lever, and
this is the most curious part of it, makes
the nigger instead of punching the log
draw back his arm and hit the. log witli
the side of his arm such a blow as would
kill an elephant, the force being such
that it drives the largest logs against the
headblock so hard .that, it makes the
carriage rattle. AS the steady stream
of lumber leaves the saw a system of
live roilers carries it down the line to
where the edaer. lath machine, cut-off
saws, etc., changes the rough slabs into
cordwood and the lumber is trimrned
and resawed to all the different widths
and lengths from a "one-by-wedder-strip"
up to railroad ties and bridge
timbers. ;

The fruit growers and horticultural
societies, both state and local, are tak
ing great interest in the plans that are
oeing maue lor me lruii. cauiuh iu hk
horticultural building. The fact that
there is to be twice as much space de
voted to this exhibit at St. Louis as
there has been at any former exposition
is encouraging news to them.
Many inquiries from individual fruit
growers and local horticultural societies
concerning space for a fruitexhibit have
been received by the department oi
horticulture and it seems that a general
statement of the method of securing
space is of interest.
The space will be secured py an oui-
cer representing the state. commission of
each state, and all exhibits of this char
acter will be under the management of
the state, commissions unless there
should be a state that does not have a
commission, in which case some other
arrangements will be made.
Fruitgrowers in making an exhibit
of fruits are assured that they will not
lose their identity by an arrangement of
this kind, for it will be required that
all exhibits be plainly marked, showing
the name of the grower'and the locality
where the fruit was produced. This
will be of great value from an educa
tional standpoint as it will give all who
are interested in studying fruits, definite
uiformation as to the locality where tne
fruit was produced.
Not only are visitors who are studying
fruits helped by an arrangement of this
kind, but practically all visitors are more
nterested in the exhibit when mey
know definitely the localities where all
the fruits are grown.
It is important that fruit growers ev
erywhere begin at once "to prepare to
grow fruit tor exhibit purposes. Dura
cient plant food should be supplied to
enable the trees to bear perfect speci
mens and this should be followed through
out the season with the most thorough
cultivation.
Thorouch cultivation will bold the
moisture in the soil which will be avail
able for the use of the trees and plants
in development of perfect specimens of
fruits.
The thinning of fruit should not be
neglected. This is an : important con
sideration where it is desired to grow
perfect specimens. In doing this work
it is advisable to leave oniy sucn speci
mens as promise to be large and per
fect and also those that arc not shaded
by foliage.
States that are planning to exuion
must have a sufficient Quantity of fruit
in cold storage so that the Bpace allotted
to them will be covered at the time of
the opening of the exposition, and in
order that they may have a sufficient
quantity in reserve in storage to keep
the space covered until tne iyu- crop oi
fruit is available,, u.s:..
A circular on cold storage of fruits
will tie sent out from the department of
horticulture in good season, giving the
latest information obtainable concern
ing that subiecf.- " '
It is intended that a collective exhibit
of nursery stock from all sections of Uie

botanists and fruit growers to study the
individual varieties and types repre
sented.
It is also expected to have a collection
of the newer varieties of grapes in bear
ing, especially . those that have been
produced by crossing. These will be
planted the present spring so that they
will be in bearing in 1904.
A collection of varieties of strawberries
will be planted the coming spring,
These will be confined to the new varie
ties. A part of these will be new vane-
ties that have been produced by a care
ful system of breeding for the purpose
of obtaining varieties possessing certain
characteristics.
In the nursery exhibit, a collection of
nursery trees atrected with Crown gall
and other diseases as well as trees in
fected with wooly aphis will be made.
