MEETING OF
NEWCOUNCIL
NEW MAYOR DELIVERS MESSAGE
Appointments Made for Kiisuliig Year
and Contract ( Insert for Additional
Lights Other Hiislness.
The first meeting of the newly duct
ed oouncil was held Aiouduy uiuht
with Mayor L. N. lilowors presiding
aud Uouucilmen Watt, Aloe, Hitmen-
ar, llerfehuer, Miiyco and liecorder
Nickelseu and lleultli Olricer Edginit-
tnon present. lion 10. L. Smith, who
takes an active iutertv-t iu the welture
ot the oity, was present as. were alio
U. D. Woodworth and P. M. II all
Lewi-.
After the reading of the minutes ol
the previous meeting had heon ap
proved Mayor Blowers muiI he hud
some views iu regard to the govern
ment of tbe city that he would like to
call to the attention of council ami
that be had embodied thuniju a mes
sage which is as follows:
To the city council ot the citv ol
Hood Klver.
Gentlemen : Upon assuming the
duties of the position ot umyor 1
deem it proper to make to yimr hon
orable body a statement ot my views
with some recommendations, on
matters appertaining to the welfare ot
our oity.
1 earnestly believe that lung are
mad" to be observed aud that under
ideal conditions it would uot be uec-
esary to enforce them, but unfortun
ately in ail continuities there are a
tew persons who act as tuough lav.
was something to be despised ami
evaded. 1 am pleased to think tuat
there ate few suob iu our city. 1 l;e
lieve that the standard of citi.unciiii
in this community is high, much
shove tbe avereage, and that a very
large majority ot our oltizeus conform
cheerfully to the requirements of the
laws, this being true it is only just
tbat those who do uot do likewise
should be compelled to do so. 1 pur
pose while mayor of this city to in
sist on observauce of ordinances 1
all, no good citizens can be nKi iuvod
It our laws are Impartially enforced
aud it ia immaterial to me whether
others are pleased or displeased, the
chronic law breakor is not iu my
opinion eutitled to much considera
tion or sympathy.
Borne mouths since upon the reu-
ommeudatiion of the council the
bouses of tbe oity were numbered,
but it seems to roe that the most im
portant part of that work was over
looked - 1 reoouxneuil thut street
signs, giving tbe names of the streets
and avenues, be placed on corners
throughout the city, thus completing
the work in a practical way.
Believing that tbe appearauco of
our streets has cousiderallu influence
in producing a favorable or unfavora
ble impression of us as a people ou
visitors from abroad, 1 hope tlut Hit
praotice of cutting limbs from tre s
aud allowing them to remain in the
streets outii removed by tho i,)mv pro
cesses of cature aud the piohuhly
thoughtless habit of some of our citi
zens ot dumping refune and gorliHge
on tbe stteets back of their residences
but in front of their neighbors will
uo longer be tolerated. It is tbo duty
and it should be the plotiHtiro of all
good citizens to try iu every reasona
ble way to improve the appearance ol
this place for which natuio has doue
so much. This city, like luurt other,
depends largely upon the turmiiii
community contiguous for cxistrnoo.
it is tberetore not only our tltity lint
sound public policy to keep our
streets in as good condition as pos
silile paricularly tho street luadiutgiu-
to our oity.
Believing tbat the different sections
of tbe oity are entitled to representa
tion on this boaid aud thnt there it
ousideral'lo dissatisfaction w th the
present method of electing aldermen,
I recommend that the city be uivided
into three wards. I think that such
action would be ooudticlve to hanno
ny and therefore to be 'desired, as has
been well laid "a houte divided
against itself cannot stand. " We want
no divided bouse but ou the contrary
solicit tbe support of all good citizens
lu tne upbuilding ot a' gieater and
more beautiful Hood Kiver.
'I he past year baa been one of pro
gress and prospelity aud our prede
cessors in oltlce -have maintained a
high standard for efficient work ; when
it was proposed to Install a sewer sys
tem it was thought by many that the
oity was too small to uuii irtako such
an , expensive work, hut ' t ur otticers
were fottunately nieu or staiunma a:id
decision and in spite ol nil obstacles
persisted and I believe that the truit
of their labors is now appreciated by
all, aud few would be willing to dis
peuse with a -tewer system, liut gou
tlemen tieie is still work to o
worthy of your best efforts, thedetid
eratum is a water supply of sufficient
volume aud purity to meet the needs
of a growing city of 2IH.K) inhabitants.
With rare foresight and business acu
men oui- predecessois secuied title
to a spring capable ot supplying a
oity of twice tbe size of this, only six
miles away, and I arnestly hope thut
the water , from, it will be piped
through our streets within a year
from this date. When it is remembei
ed tbat this enterprise will uot cot a
dollar but will pay for itself in from
10 to 15 years there should be no
hestiranoy in beginning the work and
pressing resolutely forward until it is
accomplished. I am iu favor of pur
chasing the present system provided
the owners will accept a reasonable
price tor it. 1 believe it would be
advisable to bny it tor tbe purpose o'
eliminating competition which for a
time might be expensive to all con
cerned,, but tbe city has grown be
yond the capacity of tbe pieseut sys
tem and whether it can be bought or
not, a better system is imperative. I
therefore urge upon you the necessity
for prompt and effective action iu
tbl vitally important matter, which it
accomplished will be a blessing to
every resident pf (he oity and an, eu
during rnoiuunieut to every man who
participates in the work. The world
ia full of people that are just, going tn
do great things, bat there are fim
paratlvely Tew tbat are limbering Vup
and doing things, actually, now, let
oa limber up.
Another important subject that I
thi'.k is worthy of consideration is
the matter of count rnaila m.1
bridges within tbe oity limits. Ibe
taxpayers now p ty into tbe county
treasury auuualJy a three mill tax for
road purposes, which on an assessed
vuluatiou of $4GO,0UU produces tbe
stun ot $i;i80 per annum or about 35
per ceut of tbe original cost of tbe
steel bridge, in other words we pay
tor a new Lridge every three years.
Would it not be for tbe best interests
of tbe people ot the city to assume
the responsibility it bis evaded for
many years and take control of all
thoroughfares and hririuAa within tba
city limits? From wbat inforuia' ion
i uow nave i ining 11 would be a bus
iness like thinu to do.
lu conclusion 1 wish to aay that
having the fulleat confidence in your
ability aud a feeling of personal
Iriendshin for awili tnil nnrt nnanf
I ou, 1 look forward confidently for
a year or united and suooessiul en
deavor for ti n hast intermits mutari
ally and morally of this, our borne

Uogue River Valley Absent, ,
The exhibit of Rogue River apples
at the auntiat meeting of tbe Oiegon
Horticultural society, held at Port
1 tud this week, was a small one and
not whut It should have been.
As Hood River, Yamhill county and
several parts of tbe Willamette valley
bad made muob preparation for the
event and were well represented, this
section of the state did not figure
much.
Kogue River valley produces tbe
finest apples aud pears tbat are
grown, and many of tbem, but, as us
ual, they were all sold and none bad
been saved for exhibition purposes.
Our fruit raisers are slow to grasp
tbe fact that they would create a bet
ter and more extensive market for
thoir products by advertising, and
there is no moie effective way of at
tracting attention to tbem than is
airorded by exhibitions.
It is to be hoped tbat much more
interest will be taken in advertising
aud exhibiting the truit of Southern
Oregon, tor it will prove an invest
ment tbat brings big returns. Hood
Kiver has found it to be suub, as it
has gained much of its reputation
thiougb these means. Medford, Ore.,

REPRESENJATIVES
DIVISIONISTS GIVEN NO HEARING
But Handful ef Opponenta Supported
by County Officers Uet tar of
Loral Legislators.
Notwithstanding the fact that Sena
tor Whealdon had agreed to meet a
dn'egation from this city at Portlaud
Sunday to discuss tbe county divis
ion matter, when the committee oalled
at the Perkins hotel iu that oity to
keep its appointneut tho senator was
conspicuous by bis abtenoe, Ibe del
egation, wbicb wus composed of A.
A. Jayue, Cbaa. 1. Early, 11. K. Dav
idson. P. S. Davidson, Leslie Butler,
U. L. Morse aud Wm. Kennedy were
met by Kepreseutativei Kuor.ies and
Hendricks, who in a lew brief words
informed tbem tbat they had been
instructed by their boss to tell tbe
Hood Kiver citizens tbat there was
nothing doing.
This terminated tho Intel view ab
ruptly and several ot the delegation
came home on tbe evening train, not
boever, before tbey saw Senator
Wheadou, who was ambling about
the streets of Poratlaud to keep out
of the o 'mini t tea's way.
Their iuterMew with him was also
short aud to the point, as they were
bound for Hood River and tbe tena
tor evidently wauted to koep on walk
ing.
in tbe previous meeting at which
Senator Whealdon was present be as
sured the committee that if tbey
oould bring data aud information to
show tbat a majority of the taxpay
ers of the new county were in favor
of it be would tuke it under consider
ation. Relying on his assurance they
went to Portland Sunday with peti
tions on wbicb there were the names
of V)H residents aud taxpayers in the
proposed county aud who represented
over 11,000, (JOO of 1st assessed valua
tion not Including the O. R. AN."
railroad company, tbe Western Union
telegraph company, telephone oouipa-
ny aud other puhlio corporations
wbiob are assessed or $100,000. Tbe
amount of valuation not repiesented.
on tbe petitions is 112,000, much of
which was not represented for tbe
reason that the owners had had no
opportunity to sign a petition. The
petitions themselves, CO in number,
represent all tbe big inteiests in the
new county, includiug bauka, lumber
mills, lailroads, truit companies,
iliton companies, orchard companies,
trust and guarantee companies in
Portlaud, who are aspcased tor thous
ands of dollars, wealthy truit growers
in tbe valley, owners ot small proper
ties, and resideuts and voters through
out the proposed new county all iu
favor ot it and representing an over
whelming majority that entitled them
to a bearing from tbe lueu who were
elected to represent tbe wishes of
their constituents.
Having been given Senator Weal-
don's assurance that tbey would be
treated fairly iu tbe matter and allow
ed if possible to demoustrate to him
and the other members to tbe legisla
ture from Wasco oouuty that tbey
were reptesenting thousands of dol
lars, hundreds of taxpayers and great
business iuterests, which asked and
were in favor ot oouuty division, they
at least expected courteous treatment.
This they did not get but it was iv-
en the handful of men who have been
opposing the movement aud who have
been in oonsultatiou with senator
Whealdon and Representatives lien
diicks aud Knowles for hours. Ordi
nary oourtesy ought to at least have
been accorded tbe gentlemen who, at
time, expense and trouble, went to
keep an appointment for the oitizeus
of lloo'i River and other residents of
a district tbat has beietofore been
oousiderod of a; leunt passing notice.
Only tbe day befoie a long oousulta-
tition was held with one or two uieu
tepiesenting themselves, the cauuty
orHoials and a few obstructionists,
who would lather be wiong than be
president. To tbem they listened be-
oause they beard what tbey wanted to
bear, but tbey also heard so much re
garding the great uniuimity ot opin
ion for tbe new county that they put
their ear to tbe ground, heard tbe
thunder aud got out ot the way. They
knew that if a hearing was given the
Hood River committee tbe strength
of their cause must be recoguized
and tbey refused to give it.
ibe claim ot Wasco county's repre
sentatives tiiat tbe sections of W'atco
oounty outside of Hood River are
against oounty division and tbat they
have been instructed to oppose It on
tbat acoount is uutrue and known to
be so by tbe men who make it. In
formation obtained from Warn o, Wa
pinitia, Cacscade Locks, Tygb Valley
aud other sections indicate tbat there
is no opposition there and tbat tbe
resideuts believe iu the right ot tbe
petitioners to have a new couuty if
they see tit.
ibe best and most prouiesslve ieM-
dents ot Kopreseutativ lleudrick'a
own town aie for division and have
so stated. The real opposition is from
Tbe Dalles nd Dutur aud is being
festered by tbe present officials of
Wasco oouuty and other politicians
who oan not see anything tut politi
cal oapital iu eveiy phase of life aud
are opposing the division wholly on
tbat ground, and no other.
Ibis is where tbe real opposition is
and these are tbe interests that Sena
tor Whealdon and Representatives
liendrioks and Knowles are represent
ing in deriauoe of itho wishes ot tbe
residents and taxpayers ot tbe sec
tions of tbe oounty outside 'ot Dufur
and The Dalles.
We do not believe that the members
of the legislature of the ttate of Ore
gon will ignore tbe plea of the citi
zens of a community tbat has ever
and always upheld the honor and dig
nity of its name, a community tbat
has never been oalled upon to put its
shoulder to the wheel foi the good
of tbe state tbat it has not responded
most loyally. We believe tbat the
members of tbe legislature will recog
nize tbe right and justioe "f tbe pe
titioners for Cascade oounty aud that
they will give tbem the recognition
denied by Wasco county's representa
tives, who do not represent.
