L YEAR 1905 WAS PROSPEROUS ONE MANY NEW PROJECTS STARTED Thousands or Hollars Spent lu lluild Ings anil Iiitii'oveiiitnts City and Vally Progressive mid Liberal Duriug the pust year tntiny import ant events have tritnspired in the up building of the city of Hood River aud projects havo been either Htarted ortluiuhed intho valley tlmt will mean much in tho progress of thin commun ity. Thousands of dollurs hnve been spent in liotteriut; the cuniiitioiis of property and in erectiiiK now Imiid iiiK. and thotiHittnlH nmro uro hoinx spent iu liuilding niilroads and lor irriKntinK purpieH. It Wat tluiiiiK tho J'Piir jne.t eloi-ed that the idea of building the Mount Hood-railroad wim I o 111 tunl put into execution. In it few weeks it is ex pected to have this road completed to its present dehliiiulhiii, mid the end of summer nmy fee it ptitOied eten further up tho valley. While the rnil roaii whh built li.rfly for the purpose of (jivitin llio new mill of thu Oregon Ltiuilier couipmiy tin outlet fur its produt'ts tit all seasnits of the year, it cuutiot help lint prove of mutual in terest to the railroad mid thtfeo livitiir aloun it to put into ell'ect it patceiigei and trei;ht service. Ibe construction of the road has been tho moans of liriuifiiia uo small amount of money into thu city of 1100a tuver diiiiiiK lite year, and more is yet to lie spent. The lumber business Iuih received au added impetus ly tho erec tion of the iinmeuho new mill of the Oregon Lumber ctimpany at. the new town of Jeo, which is said to bo the largest mill iu the northwest, and which is equipped to turn out any thing from a lath to an K0 foot tim ber. Another largo mill owned hv the Stanley-Smith Lumber company was projected, ami is 111 anng com pletion attireen Point, and will mid its tpioto of business to tho city dur ing the coming year. , Nineteen hundred anil fl vo also saw the erection of U10 now electric liirht and power plant at an expenditure 0) $.'(0,(100, aud au almost like sum spent 111 tne improvement ot the water sys tem. Iho new block of the llnvidsou Fruit Company was built, uud also its brick warehouse, cold storage plant aud ice making apparatus, and elec tricity installed in it in the place of steam. Ilie Apple Ui otters Union built its new concrete waiehinn-o and made better ariangements fur hiiiiiilini: and shipping fruit and llHio can be written in big letters as the year 111 which the growers here received the highest price ever puul lor apples anywhere. The past year was an active ouo in the building line, ami it is estimated that at least fifteen new residences were erected The new ("atholio church was bulit and additions matte to the city schools, Liu iy in the year tne rreiglit station el the O. K. IM. was completed anil the paweuger sta tion remodeled during the summer. A new industry was instituted in the building i f the cider mill and vin egar works, and many 111 i nor improve ments were muile to other business buildings about town. Ihe banking fuciliatics of tho city were improved In the inauguration ot a savings department by the First National Hunk, auu the prosperity ol the valley indicated by the incorpora tion ot liutler Co. into the ISittler Hanking Company and the doubling of its capital stock. Merch ints have hail a prnlitable year, ua has been shown by the open ing of larger stolen with Letter stocks. A number of new linns have gone into business ami mu ominok tor trade next year is better than ever bi lore. Uoiisltlering the small amount ot revenue at tho disposal til tho city government, it has aci-oiiiplithcd much in the way of uu, r teu.otits and has handled the nil,. nol the city ou a wise ami eoinioniii al policy, the passing of tite onlinance tor the con struction of the sewer was one of the most impoitant features of the year and indicates the spirit of piogtess lvenosu for which Hood Liver is not ed. Educational facilities iu the various districts throughout the valley have been bettered, both lu tho matter of supplying teachers and in quarters for the pupils It has been necessary to eularge many of the school hoiihs,and the taxpayers have not been backward in voting money for this purpose. In fact, they have shown a stii. it wor thy of emulation by many larger aud wealthier cominiinitii'ri iu this matter. Money for good mads pntpo.-es has also been readily forthcoming. Sev eral districts have ugitalcd I ho mutter of purchasing tock ciio-ln r.-, and the coming year w ill probably see one ur more of these machines at work mak ing material for permanent highways. Irrigation tins received its snare ot attention, and the Farmers' Irriga tion company has discucd plans (or Improving its present plant, which it la expected will tak 1 definite shape before many mouths, ihe bonds of the Hood Liver Irrigating district. calling for an expenditure of rMyHio have been flouted ami approved and the end of the coming yen- will see a new aud valuable waterway added to the iesourees of the valley. Last, but not leiii-t, it was during the year which has Just run its course that the plan was given bulb for the building of th.j north bank railroad. What its beuellls may lie to Hood Liver are yet uu unknown quantity. It may prove a blessing or the oppo site. However, it was one ot the most important undertaking in thi eeotion of the country, and marks a new era iu the history of the Colum bia river valley. A until ber of new projects of wide spread importance have oecu pi omul gated by our eighbors across tho riv et, the building of the pr.iposed elec tric railroad up the White Salmon valley being one of them. The pro ject aa yet has not taken dellnite shape, but there is every reason tor believing that it will do so, The new railroad now being built baa already been the means of bring ins considerable prosperity to rest denta In the towns ot W hite Salmon, Blngen ana Underwood, and the com ing year will undoubtedly lie the most liiipoiuiut in tne nisiories ot tbese places. ELIOT MlSEBURNS AS FAMILY LOOKS ON Residents of the valley who uno pened to be out of doors about 6 o clock r 1 iday evening wete startled to see a bright rod light Illuminating the sky for a long distance Hurried inquiry by telophone disclosed the fact that the residence of the Lev. T. L. Kliot, about three miles up the valley, was on fire aud was fast burn ing to the ground. Dr. Kliot, with his sou, W. G. Kliot, and daughter, Henrietta, came to this city from Portland Friday af ternoon and went to their home, which had been closed for some time.
