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.

CANT DRIVE OUT THE F1SHWHEELS
Legislature Will Deal Impartially la
the Colombia Blrer Salmon
Troubles.
rortland. 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.
