A apecial meeting of tbe Hood Kiv er Commercial olub waa beld at tbe club rooms Monday evening. . The di rectors met eat ly and transacted rout ine business, atter which tbe meeting waa open to members. Not a very large crowd waa present, but It waa an enthusiastic one. The principal object of the meeting waa to hear the reporta of tbe committee who went to Salem to work for Hood River oounty. While practically all of the residents of the city and .valley legret that the bill did not pass, yet there ia on every hand a grateful acknowledge ment ot tbe good work done by tbe oommlttee, . and a set of resolutions will be drawn up by a oommlttee ap pointed for tbat purpose, to present to those entitled to the tbanka of tbe olub, aa well aa tbe community, for theii efforts in oar behalf. President Davidson made a brief statement of the work done by the committee at Salem. He explained that nearly all ot the members of the legislature admitted that Hood Kiver should have a oounty ot Its own. and wonld gladly vote for It, but that many of them, iu fact too many to give ua a majority, were tied up on aooount of bavtng to trade votea with the Wasco delegation in order to get through thoirfown measures. ' Had we bad one member of the Wasco delega tion to tight for the bill, It would easily have carried. ' It appeared that the Wasco delegation , were in Salem 'or tbe only purpose of killing off tbe Uond Rivet' bill, and were ready to trade votes with anybody to do so. lo suoh lengths was this fight car ried, that every important piece of iegis.atlon in which tbe Wasco delega tion was Interested, did not pass. It is also signitloant that The Dalles lost tba portage bill, with Ita $00,000 ap propiiation, whloh .would have bene fitted The Dallea alone. The Dallre must need Hood River very bad when they preferred to lose the portage till tban to lose us. It could have been prevented.. . : . . -.Mr. Davidson explained that the merit of oar case really bad little weight with the legislature. Friends of tbe Hood River , measure, who needed every vote to carry their own legislation, were foioed to make deala with tbe Wasco delegation, and . vote against tha Hood River measure. While the committee were not suc cessful in having tha Hood River bill passed, yet they did their share in killing the general oounty bill, which would have foiever prevented the formation of any new counties in Or egon, and whioh waa evidently pre pared by Sent tor Wbealdon and in troduced . by Mr. Knowles for the ex nreaa nurnosa of nreventinir tha form. atlonlof the Hood River oounty. The Nesmltb county bill was also defeat ed, in spite of tbe efforts made by Mi. Wbealdon to pass It. In the same fxave with tbe Hood River bill' also les the portage bill. As an evidence that we are not daunted by failuie, the club appoint ed a oommlttee to get up plans lor a building, ot two or three stories, the lower floor to be used for store rooms, and the upper story fitted up for at permanent heme for tbe Commercial club. Tbe cost of tbe building ia not to exoeed $20,000, and Leslie Butler, who waa present, stated that the amount could be raised on a bond is sue, at 6 per cent Interest, and the entire amount would be subscribed in Hood River. The committee will make a report, with plans, in tbe near futur -. Suoh a building would give the cluh a prominence that it could not otherwise attain, and tbe whole enterprise would work to the good of tbe community, One of tbe import ant results will be to unite; the. city and valley on matters of publlo im portance, provide a room for publlo meetings, and also for looial gather ings. . i New Opera House Dedicated ' Tbe new opera house at White i Sal mon waa formally opened Friday ev ening with a masquerade ' balL and was a grand success. ' The proprietors ot the building, Bowman A Rosen -grant, made extensive .preparations tor tbe event, and much interest waa shown by "the (residents of tho ' new oity of White Salmon.
