THE ROCK CRUSHER
PROJECT REJECTED
the meeting held Saturduy at the
liarrelt nehool house for the purpose
of voting on the qtieotiou of purcliag
iii? a rock cnifher was well atteuded.
lb are were letweeu 50 and Go tax
payers of tbe district preneut and the
matter wua discussed pretty tbor
on :bly.
(i. 1). Woodworth, road commits
gioner of tlie diatriet,waB made ohair
nmu aud H. C. Hiiteham, eooretary.
Tbe proposition vwis to vote a 5-in ill
special tax to be ap lied to tbe pur
chase (if a rock crueller, which wag to
l)e delivered on the paymeut of the
firf-t iustfilliuetit of the purchase price.
. 11. A. Dyke, of UohIh & Co., Port
laud, was prtHtut and said that a
crusher such' im the diwtrict bad
thought of i urcbneiug would cost $2,
(WO delivered at Hood River. He ex
plain d the vulun of one of these ma
chines in milking r-erniBiieiit improve
ments ami nun i-aii teed its excellence
and durability. Several questions
were atked Mr. Dyke which be an
swered satisfactorily and speeches la
favor of pnrcbafihiK the crusher were
made by i' W. Angus, county com
missioner llilibard and C. K. Mark
bam. 0. L. Morse, Koy D. Smith
and j. 11. Shoemaker talked against
the proposition.
The iilea of those who were opposed
to the purchase of the machine was
thiit the town aud valley should be in
cluded in the levy for the purpose and
that District No. 3 should uot have to
bear the expense alone. It was ar
gued tbut the building of go d loads
in thin di: trict would be a benefit to
tbe whole community aud that tbe
crusher could be used iu all the dis
tricts. It is u!m said that wit'i some
of those present the mutter was a per
sonal ono and that thoy were really In
favor of a crusher, but opposed it on
uccouiit i i a disliUe of some of those
who wore inter. led in it. Another
argument that khs introduced was
that tne crusher iniyht prove a white
elephant to the district and that it
would be uijwite to sink so much
money into it.
This diversity of opinion was fatal
to the project aud the vote showed
that tuo -thirds of those present were
opposed to it.
The outcome of the matter was a
sore dii-apointnieut to many in the
district who thought that if a begin
ning was once made in using crushed
stone for road purposes that other dis
tricts would vote 1 1 pay their share
of the piiichaso money of tbe crusher
and I hut the roads throughout the
valley would in this way be put in
good condition for nil time.

A petitiou is being circulated in
District No. 3 to divide tbe district.
Tbe proposed dividing line is about
80 rods south of tbe preseut township
line, between districts 2 and 3. Tbe
district is thought by many to be too
large. By doing this tbe railroad
property will be thrown out of tbe
district which is a very important
factor in paying its taxes. Tie valu
ation of district 3 is placed at S285,

Monarch Malleable
Ranges Awarded
Highest Prize
At the Lewis and Clark Exposition
REASONS WHY:
Recause the Monarch was the only range
with a patent Duplex Shaft, which causet
the fuel to burn evenly in the firebox.
Because the Monarch was the only range
shown with an emery poliahed top, requir
ing no blacking.
Because Monarch Ranges have oven
thermometers made especially for them,
which tell the degree of heat required for
roasts, bread or pastry.
Because the Monarch Range bodies are
made of the heaviest Wellsville blued
steel, without enamel, and do not discolor.
