CLUB ARRANGEMENTS FOR BANQUET New Itoard Hefted and Important l!e.oliili n raised Import iini Vear's Work. The udjourned annual meeting of the Couiiuercibl club was held a. the club renins Thuisday evening, with a fair nttendauce. Verl.al re irts of the secretary and trosBt ier v.um made, and a commit tee tppt i. ted to audit the books of the jeer and treasurer aud report at t!:e n : nteuiiug. P. S. .fattdson, chairman of the .Ly euiijiiilt tee, made a verbal report of the work done by that com mittee, lie reviewed the work done by the oommittue, aud outlined plans for the future, whiob are under way. The committee has raised a special fund tor advertising purpose, and hired a secretuiy at f Co a mouth to take care of correspondence, and over 2000 letters have been written to in quirers about lfood River. A leaflet was tlrst printed and distributed among business men and others, for putting iu letters, and also 00O0 copies of a ver;. nicely written aud printed booklet, which was being rapidly sent out to nil poiuts of the oniupat to parties interested in the valley. It was receiving mauy compliments aud doing much good. Adveitit-euients were also placed In the Paoitlc Mouth ly and the Pathfinder. From oue is sue of the Pacitlo Monthly a large number of inquiries were received, but they bud hoard very little from the oilier. One of the important feat ures ot the vork of the committee was the plan for erecting a permunent ex hibit booth uear the depot. PerinU slon had neon reoeivud and a lease uii.de out for placing the booth on the grouuds of thu O. R. & N., but permission whs refused for selling anything from the booth, so it was decided to put the buildiug at the edge of the walk near the Mt. Hood depot, so that the committee would not be haunpered I r the rules of the railroad company, ai d the locution is as gold as the one originally Intended on the railroad light of way. The booth had been placed in the hands ot Joa. A. Wilson, who -ban already se cured apples for the b;i!;uice ol this season. Plans of the bnlldii;g will bo furnished by P. M. Uall-Lewis, audit will bo a neat, substantial, ornament al structure. It i'J intended to make the booth self-supporting by selling the fruit on display..- A report of the building committee was also made. P. M. Hall-Lewis was added to the committee aud presented a sketch of a proposed commercial club building, to occupy the corner lots, owuoil by 11. 1''. Davdisou, oppo site the Wuucoiua hotel. The plans culled for n fall basement, whiob it was proposed to use for the permanent fruit fair exhibit, and oo aooouut of toe slope of the ground towards the depot, would be on the grouud floor on the Second street side. The first floor would . he fitted up with store rooms. The second floor would cou tain looms for the use of tho commer cial club, two otlic'8 for rent, aud the bulcocy for an opera bouse. Ibe maiu floor of the op. ra house would be back of the store rooms. The extreme length of the lot of the west side, be ing about 130 feet, makes a triangu lar shape to that end, which would be particularly adapted to a theater aud itorium, placing the stage in the cor uer. The estimated cost of the build ing wnuld he about $;!.". 000, including tbe land. I lie proposed aicliitectuie would be concrete, to cnufoim to the Davidson building, aud it was stated that Mr. Davidson would till In the gup between the two buildings in tbe near future with a similar building, making a continuous front on Cascade Hcotiue of the same kiud. The committee on public dock fa cilities, through the chairman, J. L. Henderson, reported that several of tbe prominent citizens cf the state had been consulted iu the mutter and that the matter hud been brought be toie ooinpoteut civil engineers, and the conferences bad resulted In the flaming ot the following memorial to congress which will be signed by the ouMcers of the Commercial club, city council and other like bodies through out the state: Whereas All the railroad and steambout trutlio and commerce of the rich aud prosperous Hood River val ley, iu the county of Wusoo and state of Oregon, which valley, where Inten sified farming has reached its highest stage of perfection, with a population of near eight thousand inhabitants, is tho home ot the world famous Hood Kiver apples and strawberries, is done at and through the city of Hood Riv er, on the south bank cf the Columbia river; aud WhereasThe eboaling bf the Co l:inhla river in front of said city of 1 1 nod River, by freshet deposit of siit m.ii sand bar., to a great extent, elim inated competition by rivet naviga tion in tbe mattet of freight aud pes render trallie to and from said city .nd va'ley, and wbii'b said shoaling Is increasing jenr by year: and Wheieas Said Hood River valley tins prrdiicod and exported during t'ne c intuit year lumber, fruit and other inoiJiiLta to the value of over 11,500, 0.0, aj tollo.-.s, towit: Wood, Gfj,U0Uj lumber, 81,050,000; strawberries, ilW.OiHi; upplos, 180,000; other prod ucts. 0!i.0xi, and whereas, the land plauied to fruits, especially apples, not yet be:i,iug, is more than tweuty limes that uow yielding fruits, and WhereaH Tbe litti I now being pre pared for cultivation in said valley iiiJicntes that the exports in the year Hil.i ill have ranched the enormous value of 615,000,000; and Wboreas The soientiflo measure ment rif the volume aud power of tbe water rinuing in Uie stream of Hood iiivtr t alley, kuowti a Hood river, rhows thit within n distance of ten utiles above i-Bid city, said stream is capable of developing 100,000 horse power, (iniy a small part of which is iin.v utilized, wherefrom a large uum Uir nt tantcries may secure powei, all lucuted ' t lined Kiver city and in H oH Uivw vollcv. i y i It is intimated that the exiiui'iiture ol about SIlo.OOO iu dredg iug will deepen said river obanuel aud one ii it hi'. ux the SHid south sbcre in tHid oily lutiit, fur uavigption at the lowest stage of water to said Colum bia river; and Whereas Ibe present and immedi ate prospective development of said oity and valley demands tbe improve ment of tbe said liver channel in front of and in said oity ot Hood Riv er, so that tbe vast and vduable com merce of said valley may bave the fullest advautage of tbe benefits to be derived from tbe free and open navi gation ot the great Columbria river, which baa been improved a abort dis tance below tbe oity by the construc tion ot the Cascade looks by the Unit ed States government at cost of ser-' eral millions of dollars, therefore, Db it resolved by toe Commercial club of the city ot Hood River, other commercial organizations and trans portation companies and interested parties conouring, and all signing this memorial and duplicates thereof 1 bat ibe senators and representa tives iu congress from tbe state of Or egon be and they are hereby petition ed aud memorialized to seoure frn the congress ot the United States uu appropilation sufficient properly to improve and deepen tbe channel of tbe Columbia river along ami in front of the city of Hood River; and that for the purpose of expediting tbe in auguration of said improvement, tbey are hereby solicited, petitioned and memorialized to procure authorization for tbe United States engineer to make a survey ot said locality and re port a plan, if found feasible, for the improvement of tbe channel ot the Columbia river in front of said city of Hood River for tbe purposes afore said ; and be it Resolved, further, that a copy of this memorial together with the sig natures be sent to eon senator and reptesentative in oongresi," A communication was read from the Portland boaid of trade relative to a proposed emeudment to the interstate commerce law, providing tor sanction ot tbe commission to any proposed change of rates or classification of commodities in interstate commerce by any common oarrier.

The lulls rise on either side higher and higher; tbe ulutts of. columnar i.utnilt become bolder and begin to take on fantastic forms, rising terrace on terrace on the Washington side and sweeping la fir crowned Hood on tbe south. The bills rise here, each a stepping stone to the other, until at the Cascades tbe bold b lulls tower a mile above the mighty torrent that dashes its tre mendous tlood about their feet. For six miles then tbe blue flood rushes ' along at race horse speed and then through ever-widening channel flows placidly on to lose itselt la the broad Paoillo.
