At Its oonolusloo be said the meet log waa opea for discussion and tbat be would like to bear from anyone who bad any thing to say on tbe sub ject either tor or against and thought that every one present should 'give tbe meeting tbe benefit of any sugges tions they migbt nave, J. A. Knplug was tbe Unit to re spond and said tbat if everybody would bend tbeir efforts to making suooess of tbe movement Instead r talking about it be hadn't tbe slight est doubt it would be can led. He was satisfied tbat tbe great trmj u iiy were in favor of it, and Unit all that was needed was to give them an op portunity of expressing tbeiuselvoa. x. A. Keavis, who was loimeriy n resident of Willowa oounty, said that tbe contention wblob existed among a few tbat tbe new oounty out Id nut lie administered as economically aa tbe old one waa not borne out by what bad 'happened there. Very muob tbe same conditions existed there as do here and at no time after tbe uew oounty was created bad the taxesjbeeu aa nlgn as they were in the old coun ty. At the conclusion cf bis remurks be moved tbat committee be ap pointed to circulate petitions and as certain bow much opposition there was to tbe movement if a ly, and Bug' geated tbat tbe oommitee be made a large one so tbat tbe master could be ooverea thoroughly, M. It. Noble stated tbat he would second tbe motion, but thought It would be a good Idea to have tbe committee supplied with petitions botb lor and against so tbat it would be possible to know just bow many were opposed to it and who they were. A. I. Mason suggested that a cam palgn of ed'iHoation be started In or der to make tbe movement better aud more.tborougbiy understood Le morse aaid be didn't think this was necessary, tbat every one was fa miliar with tbe matter and tbat from observations he bad made be was at te tbat canvass of I be, territory of tbe proposed new oounty would ebow at least 80 per cent of the residents Id favor of It. He did not tbink it was necessary to circulate petitions against tbe movement, as if there were any opposed tbey would make tbe fact known. J. L. Henderson was nf tbe opinion tbat tbe time was too sLoit to make very much of h campaign in favor of tbe movement other than tbat made by tbe committee circulaMug the pe titlons. l'be legislature would soon meet and it was veiy important tbat the petitions be gotten under way, He wanted to say that there bad been some talk about the movement being made more for tbn town people tban the country people and tbat tneestab lisblng of a county seat at Hood Kir er would benefit tbe resident of tbe other parts of tbe new county far more 'ban it would Hood Hirer an be the saving of many thousands of dollars to tbem In tbe course of a few yara. Tbe fact that tbe county would be small and tbe oounty seat easy of access was one of the greatest points in its favor. He had talked with some members of tbe legislature who bad opposed tbe movement before but wbo now said tbey were in favor of It provided tbe people wanted it, . Truman Butler spoke next and said that with tbe present Increase in tbe valuation of Hood Kiver property tbe residents here would soon be paying most of tbe taxes and as it was large- through their own efforts tbat their property bad increased in value tbe residents of tbe proposed new county deseived tbe benefit of it. Hood Kiv- had done much to help Wasco county, but Wasco bad done very ttle for Hood Kiver and the time bad oome to reap some benefits from its own industry. The talk, aaid V. U. Thompson, about the valley getting along with out the help of tbe town and tbe re verse was out of tbe question. Town and valley had moved forward band band tbe this oondition must eon- inue to prevail in order to maintain the prosperity of both. The motion to appolut committees to circulate the petitions was then put and can led ! uuanimously. Tbe chHlrniau said the committees would be auuouuced later as be wanted time n which to make a selection of those ho could best serve in that capacl- in a discussion that followed as to possible court expenses from criminal oases, A. A. Jayne said that costs of this nature bad been far less from tbe district comprising the proposed'new lountv tban tbey bad from any otbet part of it and be bad every reason to beiievt) that they would be even less in tbe future. Tbat for seveial years crime had been on tbe decrease in all parts of the present oounty and tbat the expensive niurdet oases which bad taken so many thousands of dollars of tbe oounty funds in former years were far less uumerous. The western end of Wasco county bad produced fewer of these oases tban any other part and it could be.expeoted with considerable certainty tbat it would iurnish fewer still in tbe future. Tbe matter of oounty division Mr. Jayne said was one that bad been agitated for the past 12 or 13 years, but at tbe time it waa first brought up be did net favor It. The time then was not ripe for it. He thought now, howev er, tbe time bad oome to separate from tbe parent oouuty and set up a looal government wbioh would be In oloser touch with its people , Its In dustries, aud its geueral welfare tban was now possible under tbe present oounty government. Tbe interests of tbe other seotlous of the present oounty were entirely apart and dis tinct from those bere. there was nothing to take.people from this pait of tbe county to the otber portions exoept official business aud this oould be transacted rouob easier to all .con cerned If the new oouuty was oreated. tie was oertain tbat tbe attain of tbe proposed oouuty oould be amlulstered more economically and tbat any fear ot heavy epxense in criminal oases was almost groundless judging from the p ist aud also discounting tbe fu ture wbioh gave every evidence of bringing a class of citizens bere to whom crime was a strangei. P. IS. Davidson was asked to read some statistics that bad been received In regard to tbe management Of Sher man oounty when -it was oreated and which showed tbat at no time bad tbe taxes beeu any bigber after its' separ ation from Wasoo oounty than before. although oounty buildings bad been ereoted, money spent on roads: bildg es and for otber purposes tbat were necessary and which also showed that for several years tbey bad been much lower tban ever before and that the oounty was prosperous and bad a big surplus in Its treasury. 11. Al. Abbott was ot tbe opinion tbat tbe smaller tbe oounty, provided it came within tbe requirements of tbe law, tbe better It oould be bdmln istored and tbat be didn't think there was a community anywere that oould make a better showing in regard to per capita wealth than tbe proposed new oouuty. In an estimate that be bad made wblob be thought was con servative be placed the amount at $500 per Individual. Tbat tbere was no one wbo wanted work wboobuldn t get.it aud tbat as far as be kuewr tbere wasu t a pauper in tbe wbole district. Local self government was becoming more prevaleut and waa admitted to be the most satisfactory. M. R. Noble said bo was thoroughly In favoi of tbe uew oounty but thought that tbe name ought to be obanged. Ibis did not meet with fa vor as tbe area comprised it in tbe heart of the Cascades and many said it waa the best name tbat oould be se lected. After some further disoussioh In the matter in which Roy Smltb. P. M. Hall-Lewis and several otber 'gentle men participated tbe meeting was ad journed.

NOT MUCH DAM AGE BY FLOOD RAIN AND WIND MAKE TROUBLE Washouts on Railroads Delay Trains and Leave Hood River Without Communication 24 Hours. While tbe storm and flood waa not as disastrous at Hood River as it was in some other portions of Oregon con siderable damage was done here and muob inoonvenlenoe and ex Dense caused to tbe light plant and saw mills. For several davs I he water in the Hood river was at a dangerous height and kept tbe big mill at Uee from be ing operated on account of a log jam. Tbe Mount Hood railroad was also In terfered with some and kept tbe track gangs busy repairing it at various places. Hundieds of tons of earth came down tn the big ont between tbe power plant and tbe dam wblob bad to be removed and for several daj a tbe water washing over tbe traok at the dam caused some damage. During the nlgb water tbe light company weie unable to make repairs that wear necessary to their new plaut and In order to give a better light ing service put tbeir old plant In use at considerable expense and furnished tbe olty with as good a service aa waa possible nnder tbe circumstances un til tbe repairs oould be niide. Com pared with other cities Hood Kiver fared well, as The Dalles and towns In Has tern Oiegon were without lights entirely. Onring tbe storm Thursday nlsbt tbe wind caused no litle damage to tbe flume ot tbe Stanley-Smith Lum ber oorupany by blowing down trees tbat fell aoross it and rendered it au nt for use. As a oonsequenoe tbo mill bad to be abut down, but it is expect ed tbat It will be started op as soon aa the flame Is repaired, although it la ooming the time of tbe year when It cannot be run muob longer, on ac count of soarolty of 'logs. ine Menominee Liumber company had 2,500,000 feet of logs in tbe White Salmon river, whloh It was feared tbey would lose, on aooount of the fact that tbey bad not placed tbeir boom for the winter run, but fortunately the water did not leaob a point high enough to carry tbem out of tbe riv er. Local lumbermen oaptored a good many thousand feet of logs dnrlng.tbe flood tbat - cam down tbe Columbia by tbe use of tugs and a cable. Some Injury was caused to irrigat ing ditches, but no serious damage. Ranchers who had not been able to get their apples picked bad a good many of tbem blown from the trees during the wind storm, but as the ground was tn a veiy soft oondition verv little "damage was done to tbe fruit.' 'Tbe continued mild .weather bus also been In their favor and It Is not expected tbat much loss will en sue. Ibe flood la said to have been a se vere one at Trout Lake and flooded oat many -wbo bad to - leave tbeir homes and take refuge Ion higher ground. No loss of life, however, la reported aud the flood baa subsided. The continued heavy rains have been most damaging to tbe O. U. Sc. N. railroad wbioh has bad to contend with a bad washout at Viento during tbe past week. Trains bare been delayed for sever al days and tbe road between bere and Portland is being carefully watched, 'lbs trouble at Viento was caused by tbe water settling between tbe hillside and a 911 and washing out tbe roadbed.' I took some time to make tbe necessary repairs and trains eaob way have been several hours late in going and ooming .from Portland. Tbe trains are running mora regular ly now, however, -and It Is expected tbat tbe worst of tbe trouble is past. New Boat For Mptacef Line. Not since the days before tbe Iron borse onmpleted for t radio along the middle river have tbe steamboats on tbe Columbia done such an Immense amount of business, and not then, for tbe demand was not so great, Every day tbe boat was loaded to the guards. In referring to toe rush ot Business, Agent Cbriohton, ot the Regulator line, said tbat like a stage ooaob, it seems these days as though the oapao ltv of tbe boats weie unlimited, ma chinery, wagons, wheat and merchan dise of every kind stacked high, and then some. The same la true of the Bpenoer and it is now given out that Captain Spencer is getting oat plans for an other boat to operate oetween fori land and this city, says Tbe Dalles Chrontole, It is tbe intention to have tbe new craft ready by early spring, and to make her tbe speediest vessel plying on tbe Willamette and Colum bia. The estimated ooet is $60,000. Tbe new steamer will have accom modations for 400 passengers and from 200 to 300 tons of freight; it is to be, in a word one of tbe largest oarrlers of the kind running out cf Portland. The contract will be Jet soon, tbe Portland ship yards being the proba ble builders. The new steamer and the Charles R. Spenoer will afford better tban a dally service between Portland and tbe up per Columbia river. Before she ex tended her ran to the portage road the Spenoer made the ronnd trip every day, but it required the best part of 24 hours for her to do It and stop at the many way landings. With two boats on tbe route, tbe tratUlo oan be taken care of with compara tive ease and without severe strain on tbn machinery of either otaft. With the completion ot tbe North Bank road river men oontend that tbe trafflo along tbe upper Colombia will be more than treuled, owing to new industries and increased population. In three months several towns have sprang ap and additional landings bave been established all along the river. The Open River association will al so have a new steamer ready for ser vice by tbe middle of the winter, and she will bare tbe portage road as her terminus. Help Wanted.
