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

plier, and will make the trip in eight
days.

They will camp on the bank of White
Salmon and will probably be here for
six months or more.
Robert. Cline and Ed Underwood

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

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. Hay still keeps np in price, sell-

In order that the Little White Store
be true to its name it is now being coat
ed again with white paint. The roof .is
being stained with a coating of creosote

surround and overshadow it. Mr. Mac
Gowan of Hood River is doing the paint
act, and is worthy of his vocation.

Mount Hood is getting the name of
being a bad place for wild animals, bear

he had to defend himself with was his
ax, which he used with deadly effect.
He split Mr. Deer's head open the first
