to have been founded, into tbs hamta

A meeting was held without the

au attendance of le-s thiin oue
quarter of the menbaisbip, alter
which the otlicers declaied nothing
of luportanoe hail been iluue, hut
two dttys later a circular nppeated,

when theu otllceis together with the
treasuier wete approached bj inein

tor tbe sole altrulitla purpose ol
aldiux the city in Httitik! "pine
wuter ami plenty ol if ' lie on e taitK
lad iu h wildeiiiess of political triok

public received, to substantiate the
suspicions aroused when tbe League
recommended without qusllUostiou oi
Inreitigat lou the scheme propoied
by the preisdent, ol tho wator com
any to install a pumping plant, came
when the toilowiuti waa printed in
the Portland Journal Thursday, under
a Hood River date line:
The llood River CI via Improvement
League, composed ol uliout loo mem
bers representing atout 80 per cent
of the taxable properly of the city,
met laat niKlit in the I'omuieicnil
club rooms. A committee whs ap
pointed to unmade the oatnpaigD lo
(luteal th bond eleution ualling tor
'.he issuance of lor .he pur
pose of piping in the Tucker spring
into the city and ItistalliuK a OOtupetl
tire water plant.
This information was news to most,
of the members of the league who dot
not even know that a meeting hitd
teen h -Id. President Charles A. Dell,
when ti l l of the Journal item, detiied
ttiat such action had been taken ami
said ttiut nothing of importance, had
happoned at the meeting. ' He sti
Kested that there mlgnt have heeii
4a present at the meeting ami that
they had tiad a discusslun in which
the sentiment was that the eouooiJ
had not given the Lei'Kue'a lecoin
mendatloUD due eonsiileraiiou. Sucre
tary C. IJ. Ross, also ileuied that the
League hail taken any important act
ion at its meeting, and stHled that 'Ml
oi ir moniehrs were preseut. lie also
stated ttiat the meetniK had Instruct
ed the president to UHine a OOt&mlttee
the following day, who should oonsi
del the adviaahllity of eallinx a meet
itiK of the organization prioi to the
bond election
For the time being, II wa-i believed
that the Journal correspondent hau
been mistaken until on Saturday the
taxpayers received a comiiiiinication
from the Civic League signed by
President llell and Secretary liose
urging them to vote against the
bonds, This circular purported to
ne tbe result of the meeting at which
"oo important action of the sott had
heeu taken." This circular stated
that the league was utiauimoiis in op
posing the issuance of the bonds and
then brought m all sorts of reasons
why the city should incur no lodsbt
edness, typical of which li the tar
fetched statement that llood River
would probably have lo raise a large
bonUI in ordei to secure the court
house tor this city.
The member! 61 tin League who hud
joined m a sincere effort to aid in
the, solution of the wuter question
realised that they had been trapped
into denouncing a proposition which
they heartily favored and immediately
set out to lluil the reasons tor these
bigbbsndsd methods J il. (Jill and
Dr. J. l'. Watt, iioth man bars ol the
board of directors ot the League, and
II. H, Laugille and Joseph Wtight
members ol the League, were among
those who went to PlSSidfOt llell,
and iecietary lines and In usurer C.
It Htrsoabf 0, ut tie Lm.gua and
sn i ii lie i tor the membership list in
order that they might determine ou
tli ir own account the sentiment ot
the iiiemheis who had not heeu re
presented at the meeting ot the
League. President 1 1 -1 1 insisted that
lie did not have the authority to give
out I he list Hud he lold tieasurer
HtransbsQ ovat the phone not to give
out the list of memberi exospt on the
t rder ot the president, Members ol
the League ssksd H. i rutnry Loss to
SS the minutes of the meeting, which
is supposed to have taken an adverse
stand toward the bOUd issue, hut he
mm! to enlighten the members ou
the action which their own Organiza
tion hail taken.
this action on the part ui the
uittceia of the Leitguc is regarded as
most high handed, hy the members of
ttie League, ami especially when the
orgsntsstioo eras formed iu a iemi
1 ni.lie way with the wellaro of the
city uh its solo altn. A group ot 1!)
tremtets of the League, who were
indignant at the maimer iu which
they haa been misrepresented by the
olllcers yesterday IsSUSd a signed
t-tatemerit in which they denied their
responsibility tor the circular pur
porting to come from the Civic
League, and in which they denounced
in no uncertain t'Ttne tin- question
able methods which had been ( ruche
ed by Its otlicers. l'bil statement,
which r- presents the sentiment of 26
per cent of the League membership
ovet their owu signatures, would
doubtlessly have been signed by many
other members of the League had it
been possible to learn who they were
from the memh rsbip lists. Of 2U
members who had nut attended the
meeting and who were asked to sige
the statement, HI signed and the oue
who did not sign, duclated he was in
tavoi ol the bonds hut said bu had
already got into trouble by signing
his name and would not do It again.
This statement ef "pure water"
division ot the League represents the
unanimous opinion ot all members
not attending the meeting wbo could
he (ound with out the gttidauce of
membership rolls. It is now the
Opinion Ot many of the citizens that
tne men who ginned control of the
League hud in mind not only defeat
log the present bond issue and serv
ing the etuis of the water comnany,
hut they had hoped to build up h
political organization, which would
nut a ticket in the Held at the city
election during the coming month
and gradually work its way lu the
politics Of the county.

WATER COMPANY
GIVES OUT FACTS(?)
t he Light A Water Co., by K. E.
Oolf, Mgr., has issued a statement
which labels "FtOtS in Hegard to
typhoid ('uses at Hood Hirer" taken
from the reports of lr Shaw, county
health OfBosi InsteHd of devoting
its statement to the cases that have
occurred in the city, It brings iu cases
in outlying districts confusing the
reader of the statement. W tied com
pared with the records of the city
health Officer, Dr. J. Kdgington, the
county records published hy tbe water
company seem to be incomplete. The
watet company's circular mentions
18 cases as occtirlng iu the perubi
from July, 1808 to Nov li, end fur
tber suites that iu no instance has
the cause been attributed to the wat
er. The city records tor the same
period shew 111 cases and four of them
are attributed hy the at I ending
physicians lo the water.
ilie cases which the water company
did not have were: child of Mrs.
Shay, August P.I08; child ot Johu
Byng, September 1!KS; could child,
May 3, 19119 Mrs. Robert Husband,
.May 89, 1909; Ada Llodssy, October
21, 1909 ; I'earl Curtis, November 5.
1909. The ease of Mrs. Hohert litis
bind, which is not iu the county
ii curds was reported to the city Dr.
Shaw, tbe county officer, ns attending
pbysissn and the cause given was
the water, the case of (leorge Sharp,
last May, which the wattr company's
statement calls "mild case" is attrlb
llted to the watet iu the record of
the city health offloer aud It is gen
erally known that Ml Sharp sulteied
fat from a mild case.as he was not ex
pected to reoover for a week during
his illness. The case ot the Could
child iu May, whs attiibuted to
water. In these three OS SSI the water
used hy the families was examined
Od reported unlit for use. Two of
them took water trout thfl Hatcheldei
spring and one fiom the olty system,
the latest case to be reported is that
ol I'earl Curtis sod Dr Ihimhle, the
.It ending physician, says the llifectou
came from the "witter supply prob
ably." The mother ot the girl, Mrs.
. M. Curtis, was u victim of the
disease in August and accord iug to
both city and county records the
cause was then unknown, though it
has protiahly now heeu discovered
with the development of the second
case. The records of the city health
otHosr show that there were ten cases
in the ten months preceding the per
iod which has been considered in
company's stateinetit ami in this
rticle.
GOOD REASONS FOR
VOTING THE BONDS
Editor Chinier -Did you notice that
tearful appeal tot the "women and
non residents" in the News? Aud
did you ever hear of u single
improvement being made in any
town or city on earth by vote of non
r ildants? Do non-resident property
owners encourage your city Council
to put in street lights, paving, sewers

Municipal Mater System Is
Clearly Shown.
The following communication from
1 1. li. Langille, taking np the mat
ters ot ooBt of the proposed muuioipal
water system aud that proposed by
the water oompauy, is commended to
the attention of every voter, as a
careful exposition ot the water
question hy an eogiueer who under
stands the situatiou. Mr. Langille
also brings out new and important
facts when he Bhowa that the surplus
tlow of water from the City Spring
would oe be suttloieut to furnish
lights for the streets of Hood Kiver.
To the Kditor Kindly allow spaoe
to oher a few figures upon the "Water
Question" as 1 see it. 1 will use as
ahasis 540,000 gallons, the amount
the water company proposed to pump.
In passing 1 may suy that if 540,000
is SttOUgn pumped, '.110,000 gallons
by grvaity from the city spring
IbOUld also he enough. It it is neces
sary to install a new pipe system ou
the Hill ami In some parts ot the
lower City, most certainly the city
should do it now, and not have to
pay for it during those IS years and
then buy it again at that time. With
700 consumers, U50 ou the hill, 450
on the lowtr system aud with both
city ami present systems, the oity
would Ret alt the hill and probably
half the otbors To be conservative
say that the city had 450 and tbe wat
er company, '250 consumers. 450 at
11.35 per month ie venue, $502 50; less
J150. for Httemiauoe is 41i!.50, which
equals (J per ceut interest on f8'2,500,
leavlug interest on $7500, or $450 per
year to lie lalsed hy other means. For
Hie water company 250 at $1.25 la
1312 60 less $100 per mouth attendance
(beoauss part of the attendance would
probably he added duties of elect no
statiou men) equals $212.50, which; is
8 pet cent on $12,500, or there would
he a surplus or $150 per year above
bond interest.
Now to pump the 640,000 gallons for
the city, one third to tbe bill, two
thirds to reservoir, or 180,000 gallons
and 300,000 gallons respectively.
Pump to elevation of the City spring
only, or HO feet at Twelfth and Taylor,
making very close to 405 feet total
lilt. 180,000 gallons lifted 405 feet is
14.66 theoretloal borne power or 28
actually required. :t00,000 gallons to
reservoir (1150 feet lift) requirei 44
horse power a total ot 72 borse power
or 53.7 Kilowatts electrical energy.
At 2 cents per Kilowatt hour equals
1.074 per hour, $25.75 per day,7i2.50
per month, $0270 per year, coat of
pumping alone.

up to that figure. A year hence the
people will demand and he willing to
pay for double the lights now used,
lint let us pay the amount ot $151 per
month by using the city water for
power and paying this amount for
lights, we will have $75 for attend
ancu and lamp renewals.
i With auuh a perfectly steady load

another lHk. w. for sale to private

at the rate ot 7 oents per k w. hour,
we have an iuoome of $1.25 pur hour
or $15 per day tor an average of 12

Add the $35 from ahove and we have
I486 per mouth, which can be upplied
toward expense of the water system.
845 less I486 equals $300 per month to

7U0 consumers $0 61 per mo.
4,"i0 consumers .80 per mo

Hat rate for all the water he wished
to consume.
This is not an attempt to oootLcate
the Light and Water Co 's , plant ol
ruin their business, but an expoiition
of the advantages to the whole city
should the municipal system be in
stalled. Vote tor bonds and get all
the pure water you wmtatid every
street lighted.
