tate for 12,100. The land was sold at
forced sale at the Dalles court bouse.
Christmas exercises were held at
the Odell school Saturday and were a
decided success. A pleasing program
was rendered consisting of songs, rec
itations and illustrations of the pu
pils' work in the various branches.
The blackboards were covered with
fliua nn1 ilufiiijna rirnwn bv the !U-
ptls and the talent displayed was of
no mean oriier. ii seemeu impowituiB
almost that some of the work executed
could have been done bv children of
such a ten. lor age and the good work
of the teachers is to be highly com
mended. While in Portland, Mr. Shelley
made a visit to the Mount Tabor San
itarium in which W. V. Johnson is
oonlloed and found that Mr. Johnson
was about in the same condition as
when taken there, lie seemed very
nni.h rilnnatvl in BAA Mr. HhfdleV. but

(Chairman F. C. Sherrieb called the
meeting to order and after a few
words of explanation, the meeting
was opened for discussion and after
several good uatured speeches, it
voted a 5-mill tax for school purposes.
It was also decided to build a new
Hohool bouse in the eastern part of
the district. It was also voted to
iil'oe it in the hands of the school
board to build or make suob arrange
ments as they saw tit, so as to place
more room to accommodate the in
creased number of sohilars a the
Barrett sohool. The meeting ad
journed at 11:15 a. m,
' Professor Thompson la still living
a bachelor life, but no doubt will be
pleased when his better half returns,
so as to straighten up the household;
lly the way, the Prof, has added to
his stock a full blooded collie pup
and says it Is a nice one.
Why do men sit in darkness, or by

they can gut the best of gasoline and

FUNDS READY FOR
WORK ON NEW DITCH
The bends cf tho Hood River Irri
gation District have been signed and
sealed uud tbe money turned over to
tbe treasurer of tbe irrigaliug com
pany. 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.

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.
