XJill HOOD KIVEK, OREGON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1011 NO ;js . 1 I FOOD m THOUGHT Oregon with her vast area of 96, 000 square miles has less than three-quarters of a mil lion people. Oregon has more natural re sources than any other state in the union. Railroad interests are spending more money in extensions and development in Or egon than in any other state in the union. Oregon has gained fame from her apples and Hood River is the cause. Hood River is better known and is the ob jective point of more people than any other section in oregon. Notwithstanding all this, good apple lands are cheaper in Hood River, everything con- sidered, than in any reputed apple district in the country. Result; the people are com ing in great numbers. They will buy and prices will soar skyward.

Surveyors for the Northwestern Power Co., with headquarters at Port land, are at work on the White Salmon river above Camp 5, of the Wind River Lumber' Co. All the available power sites have ben tiled on and the company intends to develop within the statutory time limit of two years. From a point three miles above Trout creek to within two and one-half miles of Husum, the White Salmon flows in a narrow box canyon cut squarely into the basalts and the lava flows that have overspread them. In this stretch of about 11 miles every part of of the canyon would make an ideal power site and the company is enthusiastic over the prospect of trasmitting electric power along the north side of the Col ombia to Vancouver and Portlands 80 miles away. The only other company on the White Salmon is the Husum Power company, which, with a wing dam at Husum, transmits power and light to the towns of White Salmon and Bingen.

An additional inspection is made by the local fruit inspector, thereby securing a perfect tree Our men are employees who have been in the business for ten years or more and who thoroughly understand setting out trees.

PHONE 39 MAYOR VETOES ORDINANCE COUNCILMEN REFUSE TO VOTE State Street Assessment Receives Pro testFinal Passage Provides for Proper Sewer Connections. When the meeting of the city council was ready to consider business Monday night, Councilman Brosius immediately made a motion that Ordinance No. 271, which provides for the appointment of Judge Derby as city attorney, be re considered. The motion was duly sec onded and passed. Dr. Brosius there upon moved that the ordinance be re ferred to the finance committee. How ever, by declaring the motion out of order, Mayor Hartwig threw a damner on the plans of Judge Derby's support ers. As authority for his action the mayor cited chapter III, section 17, of the city charter, the provisions of which are as follows: ''Atkthe first meeting of the council after the return by the mayor of any ordinance not ap proved, the recorder Bhall present the same to the council, with the objec tions or me mayor, all or which must be read to the councl ; and such ordi nance must then be put upon its pass age again, and if two thirds of all members constituting the council as provided by law shall vote in favor of such ordinance, it shall thereupon be come a law without the approval of the mayor, but rot otherwise." Ac cording to this procedure the Mayor's veto, wnicn was hied with the recorder last week after the council had held its regular meeting, was read to the council. When the ordinance came ud for its passage those members, who support the ordinance, rtfused to vote. Ssince the motion for recon sideration was passed before the Mayor's veto was filed, they condiser it valid and binding, and that thus the ordinance was placed in such a position as not to be affected by the veto. Their stand is stiengthened by the fact that a second motion, calling for a re consideration and confirming the former action, was passed Monday night before the mayor made any move to declare the procedure out of order. petition, signed not only by the re quired number of citizens who are resi dents of the territory affected but also by citizens of the city, was submitted to the council asking that an election be held for the purpsoe of voting on theproposition of bringing within the city limits that portion of the Heights lying between Wilson street and the Boulevard to run along the south boundary of the property donated to tne city by Dr. knot as a city park and taking in the property contiguous to the Ball Park. The petition was referred to the Judiciary committee with instructions that an ordinance be submitted to the council at its next meeting providing for the requested election. A counter petition signed by a small per centage of those who own property in the affected .district was also read before the council. Residents of the Heights, who live near the ditch of the Farmers Irriga ting Co. submitted a petition request ing that the company be made to -discontinue furnsihing water withing'.the city limits in open ditches. Council man'Smith, in reporting the findings of the investigation of the fire and water committee in regard to this mat ter, said that it would be more just to allow the irrigatnig company to use the ditches in their present condition than to follow the requests of the peti tioners. However, the committee will further investigate Jand report on it later. A remonstrance of property owners on State Street was presented to the council. S. W. Stark, as attorney for the claimans, explained the remon strance, aserting that the work done on the street was not according to the contract. This statement, , however, was questioned and for a short time a warm discussion followed. The matter was closed by referring the remon strance to the street committee. A communication from Guy Talbot, president of the Pacific Light & Power Co., to Chas. Uull was read. The company desires the city to take up the mutter of purchasing the water plant. By motion of Councilman Brosius the communication was re ferred to the fire and water committee with instructions that the power comp any be acquainted with the report of the state board of health. A blue print, containing the changes in the boundary of the tract of land donated by Dr. Eliot for a city purk, was submitted to the council. Ihe city recorder was instructed to send the blue print to the donor, who upon receipt of it will make out the pioper deed of gift of the land to the city. A message from the mayor to the council was read by the recorder. Mayor Hartwig states that the sum of $10,000 in city warrants is at present outstanding against the city, when by statute and constitutional provision they shouldlbe limited to the sum of $5,000. The city is at present expend ing $b0 per month lor interest, ihis message may be taken to explain the mayor's attitutdo toward the payment of salaries of city employees. A communicaiton, proposing to pur chase the unsold State Street improve ment bonds, was recieved from W.;(i. Aldred. His offer was accepted. t Roberts, of the firm of Roberts & Crandull, who has been auditing the city's books, made a short verbal report to the council. He stated thet a full written report would be ready for the next meeting of the body. Mr. Roberts suggested that the city make changes in its systems of books. The recorder, he said, should receive all the city's income instead of acting in conjunction with the treasurer in this matter, as is the case at present. Councilman Smith reported that the street committtee held a conference with the property owners of Columbia Street last Friday in regard to the construction of curbing along that street. It seemed to bo the desire, he said, of those at the meeting to have the street proprely paved and curbed. However, a number of protests were heard from property owners along the street who were present at the meet ing. The report of Mr. Smith was accepted. Ordinance No. 272, providing for supplemental assessments of adjoining property to pay for the improvement worn done on Mate btreet, was re ferred to the street committee to be considered with the remonstrances of property owners along the street. Ordinance No. 274, which would make it a misdemeanor for any minor under the age of 18 years to make use of or possess liquor or tobacco in any form, was laid on the table. Ordinance No. 275 had its final pass age. It makes the refusal or neglect of anyone to make proper sewer con nections a misdemeanor, and any one found guilty of such conduct will be fined not less thun $50 nor more than $200. Councilman Brosius announced that the health committee would hold weekly meetings each Tuesday after noon at 1:00 P. M. in his office. Councilman Smith plans to hold similar Jmeetings of the street com mittee at Dr. Brosius' office on Wedns day afternoons at 4:00 P. M. SITE SELECTED BY The committee's report on the pros pective site for the new Congregational church was heard at the meeting Sun day morning, and the body appointed favored acquiring the Brosius property on Ninth street between Oak and State. The Brosius residence at the corner of Oak and Ninth would be used for the parsonage and the church building would be located at the comer of Ninth and State where the excavation for a large basement would be comparatively light. The property is offered for $8,000 and Dr. F. C. Brosius, the owner, agrees to take the present church property, consisting of the church on State street and the parson age back of it on Sherman avenue, in trade at a valuation of $4,000. The committee had also considered buying 75 feet of the west end of the property of D. McDonald between State street and Sherman avenue on Ninth street. This site was offered the church at a price of $3,000. The Blanchar lot at the corner of Ninth and Oak streets was also considered by the committee. The report of the committee will be placed before the congregation for ratification at the next meeting. MERRYMAKERS IN OLDTIME COSTUME Hood River Deoule were transported Tuesday evening to England in the time or booue (juenee Besse. The metamorphosis occurred on entering the gay streets of the Volentine Vil lage. The fete was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall, which had been so artis tically decorated that every guest came under a magic spell, on beholding the maze of booths, the village shops, sing ing troubadours and wandering gyp sies, lost present day personality and joined tne merry revellers, indeed the congregation of St. Mark's church are to be congratulated upon the success of the event. To make the change more realistic the lord mayor of the village had nro- hibitted the use of modern coin und currency. The pleasure bent travelers exchanged their money for valentine bills. The business of the bank was gratifying. It is reported that its clearances reached the sum of $200. In the early evening a luncheon wait served at "Deare Harto lime," after which the gypsies and minstrels amused the assembled popularce with songs and dances. The village post office and shops were kept busy, the former dispatching the many valentines and the latter catering to the whimsjof the many purchasers. The Dutch Min strels, Clarence Gilbert and Arthur Clurke made the decided hit of the evening. Dr. Dinklcspiel, Banks Mor timer, who vended a soap which he claimed was good for all ' human ills, spoke at length to the unclean and made many sales. At the old 'T'owne Pumpe" the crowd was served with nut brown ale, which in reality was excellent cider made from the famed Yellow Newtowns. Tne evening closed with a pleasant dance. MASON MIXES IN SENATE CHAMBER The Portland afternoon riuoera Tues day contained accounts of an alterca tion between A. I. Mason, the east side orchard int. and Senator Joseph, of Multnomah county. The following glowing account is taken from the Telegram: Just us A. I. Mason, a Grange lobby ist, had pulled hii arm back to strike Senator Joseph in the face at noon today, Reading Clerk Frank Motter leaped from his desk and spoiled a first-class pugilistic encounter. Mason claims that ho represents the Grange. He comes from Hood River. He h the man who culled Banker Al bert, of Salem, a liar and applied the same epithet to Phil Bates, both ad vocates oi good roads. He also ac cused the County Courts of being dis honest and full of politicians, when given the courtesy of tho senate floor during the discussion of the road bills. Coming into the senate chamber during the noon recess, he began dicsusBing road measures with Joseph, who told Mason that the trouble with him was that he did not consider anyone honest but himself, and suspected all other men of being trillers with the truth. Anyone who says I Bay so is a liar, shouted Mason, flying into a rage. And you are a liar if you say so. You are nothing but a dirty Jew," frothed Mason, who towers head and shoulders above the wiry senator. "I've got a good mind to smash your face now." 1 hen he decided to carry his threat into execution, while Joseph stood two feet from him and laughed in the Granger's face. Back swung Mason's right arm und Joseph squared himHfcIf for defence when Motter, with a single spring, landed between the two men, and caught Mason's arm. Mason did not struggle to free his arm, but unlim bered his tongue for half a minute, while Joseph continued to grin at him. Senator Albee ran over to help Mot ter, while Pike Davis tried to help Mason by contributing the information that Joseph was a sheep-herder once. Pike was much disappointed at the turn of affairs, for he knew that Joseph is some fighter and the Granger lobby ist would have been knocked out after delivering one blow on the Multnomah Senator. Finding that he might be accommo dated with a battlo, Mason withdrew. ICOMMERCIALCLUB WILLBANQUET COMMITTEE PLANS A BIG FEAST Sunday Ban Removed From Billiard Koom Financial Report of Sec retary Received. The regular meeting of the Commer cial Club was held Monday evening at the club's assembly hall with President Smith in the chair. The discussion of ways and means for a publicity cam paign for the ensuing year was post poned for future attention. The club has decided to hold its next banquet at the Heilbronner II till on the evening of Washington's Birthday, next Wednesday. The details of ar rangement for the banquet were left with the committee, composed of Chas. Hall, Chas. Clarke, ('apt. C. P. McCan, Chas. T. Early, and Mayor E. H.

For the purpose of managing the lyceum course, which the club has undertaken, the following committee was appointed: E. E. Coad, W. L. Hodges and J. C. Skinner. Acting on a motion of Chas. Clarke the secretary was instructed to draw up a new set of by-laws und present them to the club ut its next regular meeting. The question of taking Hction on the closing of the rural carrier's window at tha i) ist office came up for discus sion. Many members of the orgunizu ion are in favor of it being closed. However, since most of the citizens who would be affected by this move ment are not connected with the club, no definite action was taken. J. A. Epping. acting for the Hood River Realty Hoard, asked that the local real estate men be allowed the privilege of goin? over the file of names of those who write the secre tary of the club seeking information ot the valley's opportunities. These com munications, however, ure considered confidential by the club und Mr. lap ping's request was denied. The financial report of the secretary was read to the meeting.. The secre tary was instructed to have mimeo graphed copies of the report sent to each member of the club. P. S. Davidson and J. E. Robertson were uppointed by President Smith to audit the hooks of the club. The question of opening the billiard rooms of the organization for Sunday playing was again discussed. On a motion of Frank Dayton it wus decided that the Sunday ban be removed. VALLEmCIIARDS WILLBE STUDIED W. H.
