Tho amount of tne bonds is $C(,000 and tbe period of payments on them is 20 years. Allrgetber there are 132 bonds with 12'VZ interest-bearing ooupons, and 4101 signatures were required to make tne bonds legully se cure. Tbe accumulated interest on these securities ft ill, at ti e end of 20 years, amount to Soil, 130 00, which with tl e amount of the bonds them selves, will eggregate $119,43';. It is estimated that if 1000 ioohet of water is consumed for the first teu years tlint tbe ditch is in use, at the rate of $5 an inch, the revenue from it will amount to 0,0U. It iu tbe second ten years at la estimate.!, 1800 inches are consumed, the figures will run up to $90,000. Tbe total revenue received In tbe 20 years covering tbe maturity of the bonds will thus be seen to be $140,000. Figuring tbe cost of the conduction of tbe ditoh and interest at $119,430.00 and tbe revenue from the waterway at $140,000.00, at the end of 20 years there should be a surlpus loft of $-0,5G4. ' If tbe estimates above given prove to be anywhere near correot, tbe resi dents of tbe new ditoh district will be very fortunate. The formation f tbe land through which it is to be con structed is of a very difficult nature to handle and U" for teen obstacles may arise that will scale down the furplns as estim ted. Tbe ditch will piove, however, of snob inestimable value to tbe di triet when completed that even if the eitl notes of Its profits re net realized it will still be a great boon to Us users' in that locality. Admitted to Soldiers' Home. R. Peiler, a veteran ot the civil war and one of tbe oldest pioneers of Hood River, made application and was admitted to the Oiegon Soldiers' Home at ' Koseburg latt week.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK That a hotel like the Mount Hood Hotel is a big drawing card for a town the size of Hood River? That a great many of the dollars "that come into the town are left here" by the strangers who stop at the hotel. That every cent we get hold of is spent with the merchants in our own town. They appreciate it. It helps the town. I' helps the valley. They help us. We appreciate it. Did you ever stop to think that the stranger forms his opinion of the town by the hotel the people ca n support? That it takes money, anil lots of it, to run a place the size-of the Mt. Hood Hotel? That a meal taken at the Mt. Hood helps maintain a first-lass hotel, and gives the towu a good name? Did you ever stop to think that you could help the town in this way; that you would b helping yourself; that you would be helping vour neigh bor; that you would be help ing us We will appreciate it. We will remember it. Think it over. See if vou can't have a meal with us once in awhile. Next time yon want to take the early morning train to I'ortland, get a room at the Mt. Hood hotel. Leave your call for the train, and nine times out of ten you will get from one to two hours more sleep, for if the train is an hour late, we call you accordingly. You feel better all day. You en joy your trip better. You do more business. So do we. We want your trade. Get the habit. It's a good one. Think it over.
