tbe general to tbe street fund.

A petition signed by nearly all of

walks ou botb sides of tbe street, also
cemeut gutters along tbe roaday,
provided ft he city would make repairs
ou the street according to profile
map made by P. M. Hall Lewis. Tbe
plans call for cut of about tbiee feet

terguson a. Also a terrace in tne
middle of tbe roadway, allowing tbe
north side ot tbe street to be put
down to tbe sidewalk grade, and the

II. Hartwig weie appointed judges

Tbe Oregon Lumber (Jo. offered to
deed tbe oity a ten foot atrip through
their property, on eaob side the pres
ent 20 foot road, for 1500. Ibis
brought out quite a discussion, as to
whether it was neossary. or whether
tbe oompany or Mr. Button should
not give tbe strip, as both, and espeo
I ally tbe latter, had benefitted by tbe
road. It appears tbat tbe piesent road
runs so close to a ditch or swale, at
to make a fill at oeitaio portions an
expensive, as well as a dlmoult mat
ter, and It would also De uniawiui ror
the county to do anything for a 20
toot road. As something must be
doue at onoe with tbe road to the
boat landing before tbe fall rains
make the present road impassable,
under tbe circumstances it was
thought best to accept tbe offer with
out any more delay, and tbe mayor
and teoorder were authorized to make
tbe purobase.
ibe judioiary oommittee were au
thorized to pie pare an ordinauoe rals
ing the marshal's salary to (65.
J. & N lobe la was present and stat
ed that be wished to put in a con
crete walk opposite bis new building,
but wished to leave a spaoe next to
tbe curb nf about tbree feet for a
grass plot, lne wain would Da aoout
seven feet wide. Tbe request was
granted.
Councilman iiersnner said mat ne
bad been talking with Postmaster
Yates about getting free mail delivery
for tbe oity, and tbat Mr. Yates told
him tbe department would require
more walks around tbe town, either
wood or nraveL so that carriers couid
get around without traveling through
mud. Tbe street oommittee was or
dered to see that more walks were put
In.
An adjournment wa taken to Mon

Hood River Orchestra Still Exists.
P. M. Hali-Lewie, manager of tbe
Tuesday evening danoing series, says
tbat tbe article In tbe Ulaoler last
week to tbe effect tbat tbe Hood Rir
er orchestra bad been reorganized un
der the name of Prof, tieatty'a or
obestre, was an error. Mr. Hall-Lew
Is said:
We learn on good authority that our
note In last weeks issue, based upon
information we considered reliable,
misleading, and have this from
Mr. Lewis, manager of tbe Tuesday
evening danoing series. "It appeart
Tbe Hood River orchestra, as aa
organization, baa never disbanded,
notwithstanding tbe fact tnat tne
manasement and leadership has passed
from Mr. Ueattv to Mr. Newman, ine
orchestra gotten together by Mr. Beat
ty, while a Hood River aggregation

Hood River Hill Burglarized.
Saturday evening burglars entered
the mill otfloe and secured $10.67from
tbe safe, wbiob was nnlooked. Xbey
gained entrance by crawling onder
tbe mill and ooming up irom tne
ground floor, the otlloe door being
unlocked inside, ine sate was un
locked, and but a little over ten dol
lars was in a drawer, wbioh they se
cured, and made their escape.
Marshal U.inaer said tnat ne sus
pects a conple of hobos wbiob have
been doing time on the streets, as
marks plainly showed a small sized
shoe, which corresponded to those
worn by the men. and also marks in
tbe sand showed where a lantern was
used, and it Is thought tbey secured a
lantern from tbe street, where it wis
used to mark excavation work. There
is no further cine to tbe robbers.
! SEEDLESS PEARS
NEW DISCOVERY
A. I. MASON HAS A BEARING TREE
Maf Mean a Fortune to the Larky
Owner Unlike Seedless Apple
Quality is Good.
A. I. Mason created something of a
sensation here Saturday when be
brought in a quantity ot pears from a
bearing tree in bis orchard, and
claimed tbat tbey had no seeds or
oore. As there are many here from
Missouri, tbey bad to be shown, and
cut open M or ,x r tne one targe
pears, and none of tbtin bad either
cores or seeds, iiie tree is nom a
lot ot otber trees of a nameless varie
ty wbiob Mr. Mason baa been letting
mature on bis place, to find tbat bis
original purobase of trees was com
posed of a mixed variety ot iruit tbat
was anything nut wnat ne intenaea
ben be set them out, and as tbe ap
pie trees on his place have been all
worked over, tbla pear is but one ot a
few which remained. It has proved a
marvel, however, and may compensate
bim tor the trouble in grafting over
apple trees not true to name, and
losses incidental thereto.
The pear is of as good or better
flavor than tbe Uartlett, and comes at
time between tbe liartlett and win
ter varieties wbioh will make it a val
uable sellei. It is of a good size, and
unlike tbe seedless apple, has appar
ently lost none ot Its good qualities
by tbe treak of nature wbiob has left
it without seeds and core.
Tbe trnit was examined by some of
the best known iruit growers and
horticulturists at Hood River and
many others and is pronounced the
most wonderful example of entirely
seedless deoidu ous fruit ever seen or
beard of. Unlike tbe seedless apple,
tbe Mason seedless pear, as it has
been named, Is a poitect one, being
from 'i to i inobes in height and
to 6 inches In oiroumfeienoe.
Mr. Mason's dlsooveiy caused wide
spread interest and oonaideraole ex
citement when exhibited at Hood
River Saturday and many would not
believe tbat the pears were without
seeds or oores until be cut several of
them open and convinoed them. In
fact, be destroyed about a peck of his
wonderful bortiouituiai una in order
to make good his statements. It is
said by nurserymen and fiuit growers
tbat Mr. Mason has not only made a
wonderfuul discovery In horticulture,
but also a very valuable one for him
self if it should prove tbat tbe pears
are seedless every year.
In telling tbe story or nis discovery
Mr. Mason stated tbat tbe tree on
whiob tbey giew was bought for a
Clapp's Favorite, and is but tbree
years old. Last year it had but few
pears on It and little attention was
paid to tnem exoept to note tnat tney
bora much later than that variety is
supposed to.
ibis year, powever, it nad several
boxes ot large, fine fruit and in being
prepared for cunning one of tbe pears
was out open and to tne astonisnment
of Mason's wife, bad no seed in it.
Thinking this was just a ireaic on tne
part of one pear. Mrs. Mason cut open
another whiob also bad no seeds or
oore and called Mr. Mason s atten
tion to tbe faot. Hurriedly be out
open half a box of tbe fruit and found
it all seedless and ooreleea, and not
bfcing posted on pears, as apples, ha
oame to town to discover if any one
knew of a similar inoldent.
None could be found among either
growers, sblppers or students or Hor
ticulture and tbe pear was pronounced
not a Clapp's Favorite, but oneoi un
known variety tbat gives every evi
dence of having in some way per.
formed what mankind has been trying
to do for years, grow seedless decidu
ous fruit tbat will be the equal in
flavor and quality of tbat with core
and seeds.
Trains Running Oyer Mew Bridge.
Tbe first train to run ovei the new
bridge was No. 7. on Saturday, Con
ductor Weedin in charge. Saturday
morning a big force was put to work
changing tbe track, and tbe main
traok was connected with tbe one over
tbe new bridge between tbe time No.
2 left and the time for No. 7 to be
due, so tbat no delay was occasioned
tbe running of trains on aooount of
the transfer. Tbe traok over tbe old
bridge has been out ott, and No. 2 on
Saturday was tbe last train to pass
over it. The switch connecting the
Mt. Hood road was next laid, and
Monday tbe ide traok was oonneoted
with the new erade. me worn re
quired tbe moving of tbe water stand-
pipe about two leet, and also tne mov
ing ot tbe seotlon bouse.
L sht rails are sun on tne new
bridge and fill, and tbe regular heavy
rails will not be laid until tbe traok
is properly ballasted, as any uneven
nets in grade is very harmful to the
heavy Bteel rails.
