HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1905. J. HANSON TRIES TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE Joxepti IIhiimiii, of Mount Hood made an ineffectual attempt lat Fri day tiiutit to commit wilaide, by (dualling hi tlirnat with a razor. De spondency ovor family troubles ig said to have led Hansen to eeek hid own lifo. 1 iaiiHoti sometimes aHgiuta Oscar KredenbiirK to parry the mail between h re and Mount Ilood, and rooms at the Fiodeni uik house. Late iu the evening a commotion waa heard in HaiiBon'a room. HiiuhiuK in Mr. Fredoubuijj Fought to nave the man's life by bandnK!K the wound in the throat. There lieing no phone In line at Mount Hood, a meai-enger had to make the trip to Willow Flat before a physician could be called. A doctor reached Hanson about 7 o'clock in the morning, and found him rather weak from loss of Wood, but after taking a few stitches the man was left comfortable and well on the road to recovery. There was considerable excitement on the streets until the arrival of the mail fitatgo. The report that someone had attempted to commit suicide made it appear as if some further startling developments were coming to light in the recent tragedy at that place. (Join!; After Tim Land Lords. Alderman Ktixtoti of Chicago lias made a large bid for high fame. Mr. Ktixton has introduced in the city coun cil an ordinance described as "an act to prevent unjust discrimination by land lords naim-t parents." In Mr. Hus ton's nieRMiic, it is declared that many landlords refused to rent fiats to fiim iles in which iheie were children or in fants, "thereby discouraging and mili tating against the probable increase of Chicago, ('outran to the injunction im puted upon our first parents upon the expulsion from the gaiden of Kden to multiply and rcpU m-di the earth and against the polit y an I purpose of our national ailministrati n " The ordi nance provides that iui 1 indlord who shall refuse to rent any lioue or flat to families iu which there are children shall besuhject to a fine of not less than $") nor more than If 100. If the landlord shall establish the fact that, the "child ren in any a u h family areof a boisterous d;'psition and likely to disturb the peacrf or dig'.ity ol such house or flat it shall C'nliiuR! a good defence." The ordinance w:is refened to the committee on judiciary. .M.iin I'ntrance is Completed. Special to the (llacier. Portland, J.'iiy .22 The ornamental main entrance to the Lewis and Clark exposition l as l ecu completod, and in a shoit tin.o tt. old tomporary gates will bo torn away and the gatekeep ers will he doing business at the bright new tiirnstilos. There are 12 turnstiles for entrance and eight for exit. The -capacity of each entering turnstile is about 40 persons per sicond, or even more in u rush. It is safe to figure that 500 persons may pas.s through these gates in a minute. Fach turnstile records the number of people passing through, so at the end of a day the total at tendance may bo figured up quite readily. There aro threo other entrances, one at Twenty-eighth street, near the Museum of Arts, ono at the American inu and the other at the northeast corner of the grounds, which will ad mit visitors coining by boat on the Willamette river to the government peninsula. The admission price has been fixed at filty conts. Those who expect to be in Portland during the entire ex position season may purchase a season coupon ticket for ?20, good for 137 admissions, or one good for 50 ad missions for $12.50. The main entrance, which is at Twenty-sixth and Upshur streets, is reached by all street car lines and is .mly 15 minutes rido from the heart of the city. Many extra cars will be put on for the k'u,-ou. The exposition will be ready iu every department to open June 1. Copious Kains Here Timely. Tho Climate and Crop llulletin makes tho following report for Oregon for the week endng, Tuesday, May 16: The v. eathcr during the past week was shov.cn ;md too cool for crops to make hi istuclury advancement. Good rains fell in "II sections of the state, those occrrtcg in the western portion being espi cii'liy copious and timely. The condition of the grain crop con tinues satisfactory. There are some complaints of fall wheat turning yel low, confined principally to that sown on low land. Rye, oats and barky are doing nicely, while spring wheat has stor li il well aud is very promising, l ops continue uneven and the cod leather has retarded their growth. In some portious of Polk county the second tiaining of tho vines is iu pro gress. Meadow grass, clover and pas tures are growing rapidly. Alfalfa is backward aud a light "first crop" is indicated. Wardens, potatoes, corn, sugar beets, field onions and beans are grwiug slowly, and warm, sunshiny weather is needed before these crops can resume their normal growth. Corn is coming up quite evenly and enough tain hi.s fallen to injure a good hedtny stand. Dairy aud i.inge stock continue in fine condition. Reports relative to the fruit crop continue very conflicting. In some localities some orchards seem to be bare of fruit, while others near by indicate fairly good yelds. This is al o true of individual trees, some licii.g well set with fruit, while others have Hone. Prunes, peaches and early cherries have suffered most, however, while other tree fruit promises fair results. The Minidoka Project, Iduho. The secretary of the Interior has set aside, provisionally, $2,1500,000 for the construction by the engineers ol the Kr.lamntioii service of the Minidoka project in Idaho. This project provide for tie rec filia tion of about UiO.lXiO acres of public land on both sides of Hnake Huerin southern Idaho. Water will be taken from the river about (i miles beiow Minidoka station, at a point where it ln.s cut through the lava ridge, which is an eUentiou of the great lava field that approach the river from the tvr'U lietween American Falls ami Minni k.i- The most important feature of coii tin. el n n in connection with tl.eMini d' ka piojccl is the d;m on Snake Uiv er. The c i ditions here are very favor idi e for such a work. The top of the h.vatidge i- abou' -IT del ab'.ve the rivi r at Ioa water, the fonnH'im of 1 1 c river l d is sol d lava rock, and the tiw r from this point to American fads tl.. in a na'ruw canvon or valley from 40 to 159 feet Mow the bench lands. It i-pn pose l to erect a d version dam 50 feet h it-li and ti'O feet long on top, which wiiha'i k the w-.ter up the r.v.-r for ili- alo e of 1.5 li-i'.vt. A canal to cary water to ttie noith side lands, with a carrying capiat' of '000 cubic feet a second, will lie taken out at the dam. The south side canal, abouth 13 miles in length, will irrigate S000 acres by gravity, and will conduct water to the pumping stations for eleva tion to the higher lands on that side of the river. It will have a capacity of about 800 cubic feet per second. Con siderable power will be developed for lifting the water to bench lands above the hue of gravity ditches. The contract for the dam, spillway, and upper part of canal was awarded, in August, 11)04, to the Bates and Rogers Construction Company of Chicago. The plans call for the construction of a core wall across the river. The other mater ials which were to be placed in the dam, such as loose rock, gravel, and earth, will be used for coffer damming during the construction of this wall, The con struction plant is now in full operation, and the embankments constituting the first section of the coffer-dam willsoon be ready for the construction of the core wall. The contract provides for the completion of the dam and spillway by November 17, 1905. The construction of the dam will pro vide splendid facilities for the develope ment of power. The minimum discbarge of the river at this point which will be available for this purpose is 2100 second feet. This can easily be increaed to 3000 feet by storage on the headwaters of the stream. This water can be passed through walls under a head of about 5o feet, which will provide for the develop ment of more than 17,000 horsepower. It is proposed to use the greater part of this power for pumping water onto the lands situated above the gravity sys tem of canals which will be constructed during the coming season. From 50,000 to 75,000 acres can be reclaimed at a reasonable cost by pumping. The area to be benefited by this project is all government land. Homestead entries within a radius of 1 miles from the cen ter of each town site are to be limited to 40 acres and those on all other lands under this projest to 80 acres. The soil is a deep, sandy loam, free from alkali, which is now producing a thrifty growth of sage brush. The lands are tributary to the Oregon Short Line Railroad. Nome I'nwritten History. Uoldeudale Sentinel. In the fall of 1858 a small party of men were mining at the mouth of the Okanogan river; among them was a man by the name of B. A. L. , by whom this story is told. One evening in the early part of November, 1858, two men rode into camp where Ii. A. L. slept; they were two line looking fellows aud were accompanied by about 80 head of elegant Missouri mules branded "U. 8." II. A. L. learned later that the mules had strayed from fort Walla Walla. Iu those days a mule was a valu able animal, good, sound, young mules bringing from $250 to WOO. To make a long story short, the strangers had scarcely gotten unsad dled aud camp made for the night when who should appear on the scene but a squad of Uncle Sam's cavalry commanded by a grizzled old fellow who acted first then thought after wards, for he didn't do a thing to those dapper young fellows. "Sergeant," he said, "tie the hands of those men behind them." "Y"our order has been obeyed, sir," said the sergeant. "Then sir, lead them out there ten paces. Do not blindfold them ; face them to the wot. Detail a firing squad of six men. "Now, my men, when I give the word to fire, fire to kill. Make ready, take aim, fire." No bullet went amiss and the gruff old captain called to me and said, "Have you tools with which to bury these men?" When I told him I had, he gave mo two pairs of army blankets iu which to wrap the bodies aud ?10 of U. S. currency. The squad then gatherod up the mules and started straight for fort Walla Walla. Long I stood and gazed, and long stood and struggled with myself before gotting those two fel lows into the grave I prepared for them; but I finally did it. Next morning saw me headed for the Wil lamette valley home. Who were the two young fellows? Alas 'twill never be know n in this w orld who one of them was, but the other was known and to mention his uamo eveu at this late day would open an old and deep wound in a prominent family in Eastern Washington. Co-operate on a Hrouil Scale. Tacoma Horticulturist. E. II. Shepard the energetic maling er of the Fruit union at Hood River, Oregon, has spent a mouth investigat ing the commercial markets in differ ent states east v ill tuke their pro ducts. Mr. Shepard concludes he will uot try to drive any other berry section out of business, but will aim for markets where others do not in terfere and thus cooperate on a broad scale instead of competing in the narrow channels which never brings satisfaction to fruit growers. Regret to Lose the Trade. The liquor interests at The Dalles outly opposed the calling of a local o.'tion election in Wasco county. They have come out iu the press of that city with the following comment: "The people of Hood River have petitioned the County court for an election on the prohibition question for the entire county to take place in J 'no, and now again are the people of Wa-co county up against this ques tion, with no good to lie derived from the election except the possible chance of voting the entire county dry. Thus are the people of Wasco couuty to stand the expenses of the special election, and if it should go wet there is no assurance that it will in any way benefit Hood River people, as several with whom we have talked express the opinion th.it as Hood River went dry in the las,t election it will have to remian dry for two years at least, or until the next general election. They had a chance to defeat the pro hibit ion movement last year, and in stead, they, for the want of a little little effort and rustle, let it go dry by four votes. They, with their usual egotism, thought they had the world by the tail and a down hill pull and refused to stand in with the people of The Dalles in their efforts against the prohibition movement, but now that their cake is all dough they are anxious for The Dalles people to help them out of the bole. War Department's Approval. Major Langfltt, United States Fnuineor, has received official aptirov ii from the War department of the project of the expenditure of the fund available for The Dalles Celilo canal. Plans and specifications will be for warded at once by Major Langfltt to the War department, and it is prob' sbln that bids will be advertised for within a month. The contract will lie let in time to commence work after the June freshet, if satifactorr bids are received. About $4,000,000 will be expened on the canal, and progress of the work will depend upon how the money is appropriated. It isestimat ed the canal could be built in about four and a half years, were the whole amount available at once. 2nttLO. ABBOTT, ZHZigOa. Class 2villizer3r Hood River. Ore. Strawberry jZ?
