Steele HOOD HIVE II, OKKGON DELEGATION TO CITY COUNCIL INTEREST OF ML HOOD CAR LINE Ten Mill Tax Voted on for Purposes Other Import . ant Matters. City A large delegation of Mount Hood boosters attended the meeting of the Couuoil Monday eveniug in the In terest of the proposed street car ftau ohitse, which was asked for at the last meeting by II. IS. Langllle. 11. H. Langile stated before the counoil that ho was acting in the in terest of the inhabitants of the upper valley in the matter, and be bad no more personal interest in tbe matter than any other of the meu present from that section, lie said that a corporation wss being formed for tbe projeotioa ot tbe railway through tbe valley, and the franchise was asked tor that company. It tbe Hue is built they tnuht pass through the city, and tbe anplicatiou was made with the expectation that tbA counoil would order an ordinance drawn to cover the matter eatisfaotory to tbe city. The franchise was not wanted tor speculation. Tbe men interested in the project have tbe good of the vul ley at heart, audbelieve It is time to start tbe line If we ever expect to get oue. There is no graft conuected with it. and it is tbe fullest iuteution of the parties to put the road through, unless turned down by tbe city. Mayor lilowera at-ked when the work would be commeuced aud when it would be completed, aud was inform. ed that work of construction would be oommenoed within a year, and work on tbe survey within thirty days. The work iu the oity would be pushed through to completion at ouce. Tbe 'time of completion of the line would he hard to determine, as it was not, always easy to get material when wanted. W. S. (Jrihble said tbat he thought all those named iu the incorporation were present. They had been work ing to secure rights ot way from the upper eud, aud had secured the rights 'or ten miles this side ot China Hill, with one exoeptiou, and the line would not have to infringe upon the property ot the one objecting. It had ouly taken two days to aooomplisb tbat much. Mr. Laugille bad been working ou tho oity end of the lino. Ibere wag uo foreign capital Interest ed so far, only those interested in the valley being asked to subscribe. 1'hey want all iu tbe valley to take stock. When that is done, there will be no trouble to get capital from out side. We want to get oonneotion with tbe O. K. aud & N. road," said Mr. Qribble. ''We mean business. We need a stteet railway to get timber, lumbar aud fruit out, and tieigbt back. It means the rapid improve ment of tbe whole valley. A country with no railway trauspotaiou does not develop. There is wood to be cut in clearing up tbe land, which will be done as soon as there is a railway to take it out to market." J as. Laugille said : "A lailwuy has become a uecessity. lu Uie lower val ley laud is celling at 1,000 to 1,500 an acre. We have as good laud as in tbe lower valley, hut not as good trausportatoiti, and are handicapped. It is estimated that iu live to seven years It will lake a s ream of teams from the upper valley lo tbe city for weeks to move all kthe fiuit. Ihose who have not been in tbe upper val ley leceutly have no idea ot the devel opment going ou. We have hteu burning up thousands ut cords of wood because we oould not get it to market, aud it is a shameful waste. If we oould get tbe cost of cutting tbe wood and putting H ou board oars, we would gladly do it, and there would be thousands of cords sent out of tbe country to maikets which would be glad to get It. Inere Is a neoesHity of having some other way of transportation than wagonH. A rail way means prosperity for all. Let us be oue peoplo aud puli togetbet. There should be no dividing line in tbe valley, there can be fi.mi 1100, 000 to $150,000 raised iu tbe valley, and after that there can be plenty raised outside. C. A. Bell was piesent, and white he did not have anything to say in regmd to his franchise, which passed oue reading at the present meeting, he stated tbat be hoped the Mount Hood people would be able to build their read, aud tbat tbey should have access to toe city. ISO cine was more anxious to see it than himself. The street committee, in whose bands tbe matter ot franchises was left, were gianted further time, aud will olosely investigate tbe met its of tbe two propositions. N. C. Evans wss present and made a protest against putting in Sewer District No. 8, claiming tbat there was not enough water to flush it from the upper system. He did not expect the ordinauce would be passed at tbe previous ineetiug He had not been asked to sign th:i petition for the sewer, and said tbat ouly two or tl.ite in tbe upper portion of tbe district of them objected to it. Mr. Hibbard said tbat be bad not been asked to sign tbe petition, and only learned of tbe aotion after tbe ordiuance bad been prssed. He ob jected to tbe sewer being built at this time. Mr. Uersbner said tbat the reason tbe ordinance was put on Its final passage at tbe previous meeting was because no objeotion bad been filed, and be supposed -all wanted it. He thought tbe whole oity should be sew ered. Tbat section was especially needed as there was a good deal of seepage down to tbe Park street school, and was a menace to tbe health of tbe children. The objectors were informed that tbete would be a time for objeoting after tbe assessment was made, six days being allowed for tbat purpose, aud tbat objections would be beard at tbe proper time. W. MoKeynolds asked permission to erect abed for a feed yard opposite Luokey'a blacksmith shop and tbe same was referred to the oommittee on fire and water. Dr. Watt asked permission to build a stone and cemeut building on bis lot ,:i0x50 feet, opposite Huow & Up sou'gs blacksmith shop, aud tbe same was granted. V. S. Chapman asked to withdraw bia olter, made some time ago, to change the street to oonfroai to tbe sewer la d across bis property north of the O. H. & N. depot, and tbe same was granted. II. C. Coe petitioned the council to restore the name ot Eugene street from Pleasant View avenue, as tbe street bad been named after tne of bis family now deceased, and tbe mat ter was referred to the street commit tee. J. F. liatcbelder presented a plat of that part ot his property west of Oak street, dividing the same Into lots aud extending Oak street 00 feet wide to oouneot with tbe state road near the Paradise farm. Tbe matter was referred to tbe street ocinmlttee. Compl ilut was made to the counoil that there was considerable fast driv- ii g over tbe new steel bridge, to tbe detriment Jot that structure, aud a motion was carried to have an ordi nance drawn to oover tbe matter. Judge fiuok stated that there was a state law against bsucb fast driving, and tbat if offenders were brought be fore him tbey would be properly pun iahed, Recorder Niokelsen then said tbat there was a"cltyordlnanoe cover ing tbe matter, and if any otieuders got away from Huok be would got them. Tbe marshal was ordered to have signs put up ot warning, and it will go bard with any one caught driv ing over the bridge faster tban a walk. Tbe levy of taxes was placed at ten mills, wbioh is tbe limit tbat can be raised, and it is hoped tbat Jthls amount will take oare of tbe deficien cy this year ou aooount of loss of li cense money, and also run tbe city next year. D. J. Treiber reported tbat tbe work on tbe approaches to tbe new bridge aud crib in the river bad been completed, and tbe work was ordaed paid for. Mr. Hall, of the street committee, reported a communication received from Judge Lake, to tbe elleot that there was due the oity fiom Hood River county, on aooount ot the set tlemeut etfeoted for tbe illegal oolleo tion ot tbe three-mill road tax tbe sum of $450 there being that much due from this year's unpaid taxes when the books were turned over to the new oounty.

Or., Nov. 16. That An torla glllnetters will fall In their ef fort to drive out salmon wheels and traps la the plain evidence on several sides. The United States Fish Com mission opposes them and so do the authorities of Oregon and Washing tonn. It is altogether probable that the Washington commission of 18 members, which met In Seattle last week, will oppom the glllnetters and will call for regulaUon of all klnda of fishing gear, and that the Oregon Conservation Commission, a commit tee of which is investigating the mat ter, will do the same. Oregon's new fish warden takes this view and de clares that all gear should be regu lated and none abolished. Affairs have reached such a stage that the closed season will undoubt edly be lengthened by the two legis latures this winter. There are now only two closed periods, one SO days long, between March 15 and April 15, and the other 16 daya long, be tween August 25 and September 10. Those were the closed seasons up to the enactment of the Inoperative Ini tiative laws in Oregon. ! PORTLAND AND SEATTLE MAY BKCTRE LIBERTY BELL Portland, Or., Nor. 17. Imme diate steps will be taken to secure for the Rose Festival of 1909 the presence here ot the Liberty Bell, the token ot American Independence and its greatest symbol ot freedom and liberty from the mother country. Advices have been received from offi cials of the Seattle exposition that they would exert every Influence at their command to bring the honored relic out here next Summer. Under no circumstances can the Liberty Bell leave Philadelphia with out an official escort composed of members of the city government, and upon the last occasion of Its leaving that city, three members of the coun cil accompanied it. It was not al lowed to become part of any of the regular train out of the city, but was dispatched on a special car with a special engine.
