TO PUT WATER ON THE HILL Water for rtwU'nU on the hill seems now an assured fact. Long, long ago was this promised. Many people bought land on the hill expecting to be able to build with the assurance that they would soon have the convenience of hydrant water to all parts of their house. Hut a well had to answer the purpose, where It was possible to dig a well. But this is to be all changed now. The dream of water on the hill will soon be a startling reality. Workmen are now laying pipes to bring the water from the Lyman Smith spring. The stockholders of the water com pany have been not a little reticent in giving out the information of this move, preferring to let actions rather than mere talk speak for the company. The citizens on the hill will no doubt gladly welcome tho water, even though some of them declare they would prefer to see it put in by the municipality. The Bpring on the Ordway property, formerly the Lyman Smith place, is now running five or six inches of water, so says Mr. Smith. A few years ago the spring ran barely an inch, but since the waters of Hood river have been so freely spread over the lands of the upper part of the valley the flow of the spring lias been greatly accelerated. Workmen are putting in terracotta tiling from the spring to the road, nd the rent of the distance the water will be carried in six-inch wooden pipes to the reservoir on the block just west of II. II. Bailey's residence. Here it is underntood the water will be collected in a 30-foot standpipe, which will insure sufficient pressure to put the Wuter to any residence on the hill. Another 8-Inch pipe will lead from1 the standpipe down the hill to connect with the main from the Coe springs at a point near the Park street school house. Here valves will lie put in so the water supply can be increased or de creased accordingly as the water is needed when fire hydrants are drawn upon. It is understood that the Water company will stand prepared to furnish the city water for fire protect'00 as soon as the improvements now being made are completed. How Bunding Districts Are Formed. Following is the report prepared last March by W. R. Hoole showing the method of procedure in establishing a bonding district for the construction of an irrigating svstem: An act providing for the formation of irrigating districts in the state of Ore gon : That w hen 50 or a majority of holders of ti,tl?s to lands susceptible to irriga tion desire to provide for irrigation, they may organize an irrigation district in the following manner: By securing a petition signed by the above numbered holders of titles to lauds, and the title to the land will be governed by the equalized assessment roll next preceding the presentation of the petition, which petition shall be presented to the county court in which the land is located. The said petition shall set forth and particularly describe the proposed boundaries and ask that the same be organized into an irrigation district. A good and sufficient bond must accom pany the petition to be approved by the county court; bond must be for double ti e sum of the probable costs of organ izing the said district; bondsmen to pay the costs if the district fails to be organ ized. Petition must be presented at a regu lar meeting of the court, or at a special meeting called for that purpose, and notice of presentation must be published for four weeks in a newspaper published in the county. The court can change the boundaries if it deem proper. No land can be included in the district that will not benefit by irrigation except on the ap plication to the court by the owner thereof. The court shall divide the district in to five divisions of as near equal size as possible, and number them from one to five inclusive, and one director who is a freeholder, an elector and a resident within the said division, shall beelecled in each division ; or on a majority peti tion, directors may be elected at large. The general election laws of the state to govern all elections held under this act. No other district can be allowed to organize and to include any of the same land without the consent of the board of directors. On the second Tuesday in January, after f rganization, there shall be elected an assessor or collector and a treasurer for a term of two years. The above elected board tS meet on the first Tues day in February and organize, elect a president from their number, and ap point a secretary, and they shall adopt bylaws and rules. All w ater must be distributed appor tionally upon a ratio of what his ai-sess-ment bears to the sum assessed upon the district, but any owner may assign water for any one year. All meetings of 'the board must be public. The board of directors is vested by law with the right to enter upon any land to make surveys and to secure land either by purchase or condemnation. In case of purchasing the land the bonds of the district may be taken at par. Condemnation of land shall be pro ceeded with under the general laws of the state in condemnation proceedings. Bonds must carry by a majority vote. All latida fo be assessed in proportion to benefit to be derived. Bonds are made pnvable in money of the United States and, in the series as follows : At the expiration of 11 years 5 per cent of whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 12 years 6 per cent of whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 13 years 7 per cent of whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 14 years 8 per cent of the whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 15 years 9 per cent of the whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 16 years 10 per cent of the whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 17 years 11 per cent of the whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 18 years 13 per cent of whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 19 years 15 per cent of whole number of bonds. At the expiration of 20 years 18 per cent of whole number of bonds. Interest at six per cent per annum, pnvable semi-annually, January and July. Bonds to be issued in sums of not less than $100 nor more than $300 each. In case of deficit, the assessor is em powered to levy assessment to meet it. Canals must be built by contract and board must advertise for bids. In order to complete ditch, board may contract an indebtedness of f2,000 and issue seven per cent warrants, to be re deemed out of first payment of water rent. Directors are compelled to keep water flowing to the full capacity oi me canai flnrinff the season. The taxes on account of the ditch be come due on the 15th of November and are payable before the last Monday in December each year, and if not paid on that date a penalty of five per cent is added. Delinquent list is published on the 15th of January each year and if not paid before three weeks, enough of the land will be sold to pay the taxes dde with costs. The land sold can lie redeemed any time inside of 12 months. No assessment shall be levied in ex cess of enough to pay current expenses nu luiercBi on tne Donas until ten years have elapsed, then each vear in addition to interest and current expen-l scs, mere snail oe enough larger assess ment levied to take ud the bonds becoming due each year. coaru snail nave power to croBs any stream of water, street, road, ditch or flume or anv state land in building the ditch. The board has the power to call spe cial election to vote more bonds if they find they hare not enough to com plete the ditch. Takes majority to carry the bonds. Want an Irrigating Pitch. C. F. Waldo was over from White Salmon Saturday. Mr. Waldo says the people on the fiat at White Salmon are determined to secure irrigating water. A meeting of interested citizens was called the first Saturday in this month, at which time a committee consisting of Mr. Clyde, who is an engineer, K. Adams and Captain Cook was named to investigate the various sources from which water can be secured, the amount of water that may be obtained from each, aud the cost of getting the water onto the larra. This committee is to report at the call of the chairman, Captain Cook. At this same meeting the proposition of a cannery was discussed. A com mittee consisting of A. H. Jewett, Judge A. R. Byrkett and Seymour W. Condon were named and have been con ferring with a cannery man from The Dalles who is to meet with the White Salmon people and place before them a proposition whereby the farmers of the north side of the Columbia will be enabled to find a place where they can get rid of fruit at a sure price.. As the farmers of White Salmon can grow a fine quality of vegetables, pears, cher ries and other fruits it is thought that this will be an inducement to outside capital, with a certain amount of help from the people of Win e Salmon, to put in a canning plant at that point. This committee that is looking up the cannery proposition is also inquiring into the question of a union or organiza tion of the White Salmon fruit growers, so Mr. Waldo says. It is not the inten tion of the White Salmon people to go it alone in shipping their fruit, as was stated last week, but the idea of a union is for the purpose of getting into better touch with the markets. It is the inten tion of those interested in the move ment, says Mr. Waldo, to have an agent in Hood River who will be able to give the shippers some information as to prices each day and the condition of the markets, not only in the shipment of strawberries, but for tomatoes, cher ries, or anything the growers there have to export. ' The White Salmon people want to be able to get daily market reports on all the fruit they have to Bhip. Now they are so far from the railroad shipping point that they are in ignorance of the true market conditions. They expect to continue as before in marketing their shipments through the Davidson Fruit Co. and the Hood River Fruit Growers' union. Mr. Waldo says be has one of the finest cherry orchards in the state of Washington. If the newspaper man can find one to equal it he has promised a new hat for him. The trees were set out a year ago last spring, and have surpassed all expectations as to growth. Last year they put forth vigorous roots, and this year there are any number of the trees, says Mr. Waldo, that it would require a ten-foot pole to reach to the top of. How They Irrigate at Trout lake. The farmeis around Trout Lake, near Mount Adams, Washington, have for the present solved tho problem of irri gation, and hundreds of acres of other wise nonproductive lands are being made to blossom with abundant crops by moisture from the snow waters of Mount Adams. The direct sources of the many flumes that carry water to the farmers are the White Salmon riv er and Trout creek, both of which carry a great volume of water which may still further be drawn upon without dimin ishing the flow to any pcrceptable de gree. White Salmon river derives its name from the color of the salmon which were formerly caught in its wa ters, but might be more properly named from its white, foaming waters that rush from under the brows of Mount Adams. Trout creek is the out let of Trout lake and has its watershed on the west side of Mount Adams. So far these two streams have been the only ones tapped, out side of a few springs, for irrigating purposes, and while in Hood River and other places the farmer gets water by inches the far mers of Trout Lake and White Salmon distrists get water by the foot without cost, except for the construction of flumes and canals, which are minor con siderations. Of course it is a matter of conjecture how long this mutual ar rangement will last, but it is in success ful and harmonious operation at present and is transforming the dry lands there into productive fields, making it possible for the homesteader to occupy las land with some profit. The pres nt method of irrigation here is on the system of mutual assistance. Water taken from the White Salmon is passed through the farms in box flumes mainly, each farmer contributing bis portion of the expenses of building the flame and taking his portion of the water. Rights of way for the flumes are guaran teed and deeded, while the work of con struction of flumes and canals is done by the farmers interested. Under this system many miles of flumes carry water for household and irrigating pur poses all through these districts. On the road from White Salmon one strikes the first flume about 15 mileflout which carries water from the White .Salmon river, tapjied many miles away. The land here is verv drv but sandv and rich, and with the abundance of water secured can be brought under a high state of cultivation. Irrigation is mak ing this portion of Washington tr very rich district. The cheanness of the plan commends it and makes it possible for the farmers to extend the system. When a farmer at the end of a flume, who was not in on the first deal, wants wa ter, he, goes up to the head and in creases the size of the flume and gets his water. There is yet no corporation tax to pay. The water is free as the as the air and only has to be flumed to the farms. The farm of John Arne, a pioneer of that district, about three miles from the Guler hotel at Trout Lake is in a high state of cultivation as the result of irrigation. He says bjfore lie not water he could not raise enough potatoes to supply his own family, but now lie raises two large crops oi ciover each vear. A corporation is being formed to bring in water to irrigate the farms west of Trout Lake, A big canal will be made something over 15 miles in length, and HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1604. and will take the water in the moun tain in the vicinity or Sleeping Beautv. Water will be delivered to the many homesteads that are scattered to the west and in the vicinity of the lava and ice caves. No mutual arrangement, of course, could handle such a proposition, as a canal 18 feet wide and five to eight deep will be required to supply water for irrigation to these homesteads, but it is said the persons who are working on the scheme will push it through to completion. Oregonian. Will Lay Tile Drains on His Ranch. F. W. Angus was in Portland and McMinnville last week, where he went to look after tile draining for his farm. Air. Angus found that it is necessary to buy four cars of tiling to get the low rate offered for the terra cotta, so M r. Angus has placed an ad in another column of the Glacier, calling attention to those farmers who expect to put in tiling this fall to see him before next Saturday. Mr. Angus finds that the tiling can lie purchased tor 15 cent for the 3-inch, and 20 cents four the 4-inch. This s f. o. b. at McMinnville. The freight to Hood River will amount to about 13 cents a hundred he savs. Mr. Angus expects to lay about 3,000 leet oi tiling tins tall, He aims to put it in before the rains intefere with dig ging, i fie pipes are laid in ditches about 11 .V. - 1 11 J' mice icev ueep. ioe man snouiu tug aoout loo teetot ditching a day, says Mr. Angus. The tiling is found to be a necessity now that there is so much irrigating water turned loose in the valley. Mr. Angus put some drain nipe in his orchard last year and says the land there mis year is kept in hne shape. The soil is always mellow and moist, aud produces splendid crops. The Enemy Had Hot Feet. Our editor, who, with his family, are rusticating out at the Oakdale ranch, went to the blackberry patch one even ing last week to gather some berries for his breakfast the next morning. Inci dentally or accidentally, (and he is falsely uucuReu ui slaving; liinuiiuuveiy- inter viewed a community of vcllow lackets, He found them all at home, energetic, aggressive, pushing, little fellows, in (act he says the few individuals who sub pended their regular work long enough to receive the Glacier s interviewer, pushed too hard for his physical comfort. The would be horticulturist who is try ing to operate the ranch, and who was with the editor when the incident or accident occurred seems to be the only one present who thoroughly enjoyed the situation. To him it appeared lrom the language and actions of the parties in terested, that they were attempting to com hi na the performances of a high class circus with the theological instruc tions of an up-to-date Sunday school, and with remarkable' success. A generous application of ammonia and soda bi carb to the punctures made by the little oeligerents soon relieved the wounded feelings of the unfortunate quilldriver, but not until his sympathetic better half received the attention of one of his assailants which had followed the news paper man in his foot race to the house 100 yards away. But now comes the most mysterious episode of this en tire bit of history. The aforesaid would lie horticulturist went in person, two or three evenings later, to deliver his ulti matum to the oeligerents, either to make due reparation and disavowal of beligerent intentions or it would devolve upon the powers that be the necessity avenging the wanton breach of neutral ity. Arriving at the locality the diplo mat found that his action had been fore stalled, that Borne enemy had razed the entire fortifications of the yellow- jackets, appropriated their stores,young and old inhabitants, in fact, leaving nothing of the entire community but the empty cells and perhaps a half dozen in dividuals who were probably doing scout duty at the time of the attack, ami these mem tiers of a once prosperous and pugna cious community of pain propagators, who seemed to have troubles enough of their own for once, and were too dazed to pick up a scrap with a new intruder. The editor declares emphatically that he had gained all the information be desired regarding that particular com munity, and could not have been in duced either by bribes or desire for re venge to make such a vigorous assault. What this historian wants to know, and that which prompted the writing of these tragic events is "Who stole de ingions." In other words, will coons, skunks, hedgehogs, or other predatory nightprowlers do such effective work in the destruction of these pests? If any one can speak with authority and name the individual it would most likely save the fruit growers of the valley hundreds of dollars in spoiled fruits to ask of our Commercial club or the Oregon De velopment league to use their influence to encourage the immigration of this class of inhabitants.
