WHITE SALMON MS. Miss Vlrie Crow of Hood River, sis ter of our popular druggist, is visiting White Salmon. Mrs. George Purser hits about recov ered from her recent illness, and her many warm friends will be glad to see ber out again. Kd Egan, Will Biesanz, Fertr Gro shong and others are away at work but will return with pockets bulging witli scuds before winter festivities begin. Henry Dennis and J. R. Devlin, from Wisconsin, friends of Messrs. Bowman and Main, have been looking at the country will) a view of locating. From here they went to Hood River. Dr. H. Kpiey and wife of Salem, Or., Miss Von Ehrenbrook of Denver, and MissN. B. Pipes, Mrs. A. Morgan, Miss L. K. Morgan, A. H. Fisher and Mica B. 0. Wine are among the recent guests at I lie Jewel t farm. The Columbia River Northern has purchased the shore land at White Sal mon from C. D. Moore. Borne time ago the White Salmon dock was turned over to the same company. This gives them control of oneof the best landings on the Columbia river from Portland to The Dalles. The new drug store is now open fur business. If the drugs are powerful enough to penetrate the asphalt lining of a White Salmon stomach they aie good ones. Reservoir water has coated the interior of the average resident so that he eould drink a pint of carbolic acid without batting Ins eyes. M. C. Fox will take charg6 of the Wyers hotel September 1. Mr. fox will sell or lease bis strawberry place at Pucker-Huddle and devote all bis time to the business of making a homelike resting place for the traveling public. Mr. Wyera will build at once just north of bis present building. Mr. Wyers is an honest, square man, and we want him and bis wife to stay right here umoiig us. In conversation with Hon. E. I,. Smith of Hood River we learned that he will have a large number of Spitz enburg and Yellow Newtown apple trees, yearlings, for side. It is good news, because the trees are acclimated. and it does a grower good to escape the clutches of the nnregenerate herd of professional fakirs known as nursery men. They're a hard lot, as every fruit grower has learned. White Salmon's most crying need is a water system. The supply now is both Inadequate and thoroughly un satisfactory. Patrons of the little plant urinK spring water, creek water, reser voir water, green scum, dirt, sticks, worms, bugs and young reptiles by turns, and then it stops, and we have a water famine. Let some philanthropic individual, with an eye to profits, come and see our need and size up sources of supply. , What has become of the mtich-her-' aided opposition steamboat? Is she a phantom or Is she really being togged out? Her whistle doesn't awaken the echoes as yet. White Salmon people hope for a good live competition on tiie river. Not a "cut-throat" proposi tion but a competition that will last and benefit the public. There is a kind of competition that is good for the pub lic, ana we would like to see it main tained ou the Columbia. W'e need a cemetery. Until the dead of all civilized communities come to bo disposed of by cremation, which is both sensible and sanitary, the old problem of disposing of the dead so as to be fair to the living will perplex us. A cemetery plot lu the very center of a growing community is not desirable. Is there some one who wants to con tribute to the public welfare by donat ing a piece of land in a more suitable place for the burial of our dead? The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Johnson, the young man who was drowned In the White Salmon river, were held tinder the auspiies of tiie lodge ot Udu fellows, Sunday af ternoon. The church was taxed to Its utmost by those whose sympathies were aroused by the accident. Rev. Mr, Garrison gave an appropriate and feeling address. If our community could do so it would send to the young man's home in far New Brunswick a message of true sympathy. The Enterprise editor in his last i sue gets terribly tangled on the new school building issue. Like the man recently from Klllaroey, who escaped from a night fire and lit on the side walk with his trousers wrong side be fore, Bro Harlan seems "fatally twist ed." Two days before the Enterprise containing the editorial on school af fairs was printed, our dear old modern Kip Van Winkle was informed, as a news Item, that the directors had de cided to simplify the issue by building on the present school site. The Enter prise editorial must have been put in type very early in the week before, and frozen stiff to the patent outside, for it utterly fails to present the issue tip to date. Try It once more, grandpa, yo:i have one more chance before the bond election to give us a lift. The question Is simple and free from nil complica tions. Here it is: Khali we build on the present school site an f 1800 school building in which our little folks will be comfortable when the snow flies, or shall we be content to continue to "stable" them in the shack of which we are so ashamed. The school board has simplilied the issue by a unani mous vote to use the present school site, which Is the geographical center of the district. We hope that in its next Issue the Enterprise will have rubbed its eyes and be ready to present the issue clearly instead of filling the atmosphere with dust of its own mak ing. Tfie Enterprise editordidn't even take the trouble to get the facts. He says: "Jewett's have offered a block of land at any place in the town site where it is not already sold, and Mr. Ituiteihah has virtually made the same offer." Now, nothing of the kind occurred. Mr. Jewett ottered one of two certain blocks located south of tiie new drug store, and Mr. Lauter bach didn't offer any site at all. A vote of thanks was given Mr. Jewett for his offer, but the directors decided not to accept it. We want to see the Enterprise declare itself. Do you favor a new building on the old site, or not? There is one animal among us that has more to do with the home life of our villnge than all others. It's a ram. When old man Noah started out on bis memorable Journey to Mount Ararat he may have had among his collection of animals a ram. Hut it wasn't like our White Salmon ram. Our ram was imported from New York, and it's a 1 .u-l u. The other night the ram went on a sort of ''toot." It bad lieen work ing quietly through the week, swallow in creek water and coughing upsprin-.' water, sending it up from the canyon through a long line ot iron pipeto'the Condons, the Wolfards, the Tranas, tilling the reservoir and then, after h sort of sanitary mix-up, the water laz ily crept its way to the Groshong and on to Mr. Wyers, who says his objec tion to water as beverage is that "cows drink it;" then on to Editor Harlan's, who use it to cool bis chil blains; thence to Waldo's. The mm pumped away all unooiifelous of the part it was playing In the life of Whit Salmon's teaming millions, Saturday night came, as it always does north of equator, right at the rear end. ofl-tlie-week. Our millionaires and our. peas ants alike Mad at least sought balmy sleep, "tired nature's sweet restorer; sleep that knits op the raveled sleeve of care, sore labor's bath," etc. Buthark! hist! "Its tiie ram!" Like the cough ing of a consumptive rhinoceros, it awakens (lie echoes along the canyon. Every pipe line became a bursting artery of blood curdling sounds. Thud, thud, thud, the water comes like the regular beating of a trip-hammer on the weary brain, and with a frightful monotony pounds upon the nerve cen ters. The ram was "runuing amuck." Then all is silence. The ram has jumped its job and the water ceased to flow, and wearily we wend our way across dusly fields and amid singing insects to get water as Adam got his at the spring. Notes From Underwood, Quite a number of the Underwood citizens attended the show at Hood River, Monday. Abe Foley and George Tyrrell will start for the mines, Thursday, with a load of supplies, going as far as Trout Lake with a wagon. The remaining 45 miles will be made by pack horses. He expects to take in 1,200 pounds ot sup plier, and will make the trip in eight days. Mrs. Brown and Miss . Elsie Under wood went to the huckleberry mountain, Sunday. Amel Oldenberg came up from below with three or four men to go to work at the government fish hatchery and racks. They will camp on the bank of White Salmon and will probably be here for six months or more. Robert. Cline and Ed Underwood went to Hood River, shopping, Tuesdav. The last raft is ready ti be towed down to the Menominee mill from the mouth of White Salmon, Until there is more water, the river being so low just now, no more logs will be floated. Miss Phoebe L. Mooro, our school ma'am, visited with friends at Carson :ver Sunday. Mrs. Jones of Cascade tacks is visit ing with Mrs. Dark and family. Abe Folev went to Chenoweth on horseback, Tuesday, to havo a final set tlement with the Washington Lumber company. He has been their freighter for 13 mouths. Among the Underwood people who attended the circus at Hood liiver, Mon day, were noticed C. L. Larson and chil dren, A. J. Havnes, wife and children, Abe Foley, Will Underwood, C. H. Cromwell, Mrs. Dark and children, Rob ert Cline, Jim Larson, Lena Kellendonk, Amos Underwood, Bert Wilson and wife. A sad accident happened at the mouth of White Salmon lust Tuesday. John Johnson, an employe of Frost & Came ron, was drowned while at work. He and Joe Sullivan were working together and Mr. Sullivan left Johnson to go to see about some chains they had been expecting from Coulter's camp. When but a little way from the river Sul'ivan heard a noise, and looking ground saw the young fellow in the water. He hur ried back to help him, but the unfortu nate young man was too far , from the shore and sank before Sullivan could do a thing towards helping him. Several men tried all evening to find tiie body, but had to give it up until the next day. James Armstrong, another employe of the company, found the dead man early Friday morning. He was taken to White Salmon and was burried there Sunday by the Odd Fellows. He had joined the order about two weeks before his death. Chenoweth News Notes. Bince the W. L. company ceased operations, quite a change has taken place at Chenoweth. O. H. Brown, John Yandel and Ray Hill have secured positions with the Oregon Lumber company. There was quite a turnout from Chen oweth to the circus at Hood River on Monday. Mr. and Mrs. J. M.Spriggg and child ren are visiting relatives at Corvallis. This community had quite a nice rain Monday evening. Charles Lane hauled the circus goers to the river and back. Our young people went to the dance at Mill A Saturday night and report a very good time. F'rank Davenport, president . and manager of the , Washington Lumber company, was in Chenoweth Tuesday, looking after the affairs of his mill here. The camp was re-established the same afternoon, and the buzz of the saws is expected to be heard again in a day or two. Udell Notes. Miss Blanche Wilsjn is home from The Dalles, where she visited last week and took the teachers' examination. Mrs. A. B. Manley of Portland is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Tousey. Mr. Mauley is a cousin of Professor J. L. Tousey, and is secretary and treasurer of the Pacific Coast Abstract Guaranty and Trust companv with offices on the corner of Third and Washington streets, Portland. Mrs. Manley will remain 10 days. Like all visitors, Mrs. Manley is impressed with the scenic effects of the picturesque valley of East Hood River. Odell was well represented at the cir cus Monday. John Lawless' tandem was one of the features of the day, and was a circus of itself. The writer rode home with him in about one hour and 15 minutes. The elephants, Camels ponies aud painted riders, together with the music and the voice of the "spieler," reminded us of the long, long ago. A circus once seen and you have seen them all, and yet the crowds gather all because they want to take the children. Judging from the hundreds of little folks there, I think President Roosevelt would have been silent on the question of race suicide had he been present. The Little White Store sold two cars of wood this week. One goes to Arling ton and the other to Moro, besides 30 ricks to be delivered in town. Wood is staple and in demand. C. A. (lilmore and B. U. Board man returned last night from a trip to Lost lake. While in the mountains their horses got away, one of ihem returning to the valley, while the whereabouts of the other two is still unknown. Mr. Gilmore was compelled to walk out and get bis span of greys in order that they get their camp outfit home. This is one of the pleasant experiences of camp life which must be experienced fo be appreciated. The gentle rain descended Monday night in sufficient quantities to be of great good. In the absence of water fur irrigation purposes it is ail the more appreciated. Next season manv will buy water very much to the satisfaction of parties having no prior claims to the natural creek water. Mr. Bone is to be congratulated on his efforts in reclaim ing much land in this valley, which without water is worthless. Frank Neff's new house across from James English is well under way, and is quite an acquisition to the neighbor hood.

The roof .is being stained with a coating of creosote about the color of the pine needles that surround and overshadow it. Mr. Mac Gowan of Hood River is doing the paint act, and is worthy of his vocation. Dukes Valley Items. The weather has turned a little cooler.

The first report from Underwood Thursday night was that Joe Sullivan, foreman of the rh-ercrew, was drowned. Later news proved it to be John John son of New Brunswick. He bad been in the employ of the company since May and was well liked, being a bard and faithful worker. The members l Camp 6, headed by William Coulter, foreman, attended the funeral in a body. Rev. W. G. Eliot answered the call for a minister last Sunday, and a con gregation ot 35 highly appreciated his sermon, and hope to bear him again soon. The Misses Isenberg and Boorman visited Miss Lula Absten hist Sunday, and helped to swell the congregation at church.
