IIOOD RTYElt GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1911 ARTHUR D. MOE. Pbllther. Subscription, S1.S0 Tn Tear. LITHE THRUSTS OF THE YAKLMAN. In recent issue of the Yakima Republic there was published a letter from "W. W. R.," evidently a citissen of the Yakima region, who had just made a tour of the Hood River Valley by automobile. We desire to thank Mr. "W. W. R." for his pleasing re marks on the beauty of our scenery, but we would like to call his attention to a few things he said. We want to do it gently, though, for from th gentleman's 'statements he is a warm blooded citizen and he may come over from his Yakiman? paradise and lick us, if we getlhim riled warm blooded people have been known to fight. We think'he is warm blooded because of the following paragraph: "Via unent Surulaw verv eniovablv touring the Hood River Valley in the automobile. We started in the morn ing for Cloud Cap Inn, at the base of Mount Hood, some 27 miles from here, but found, as we approached the snow line, that we were crowding the season a little. We turned back, mati? camp and spent the heat of the day. which, by the way, was something fierce, on the banks of the river. We tried to be comfortable, but did not fully succeed. There is a sultriness in the summer atmosphere here which we do not have in the Yakima country, The temperature must have been well over 90 in the shade, and the quality of the heat reminded me of good old Nebraska." We think "W. W. K. is warm blooded, we are, indeed, sure that he is warm blooded; for he is the first man that has ever found it sultry in the Hood River Valley. We've never had the pleasure of a visit to the Yakima country. It may be cooler there than it is here but we were a little surprised, atfer having read the statements of the autoist, when we read that the Yakima soil's tempera ture "often reached a point as high as 140 degrees. That doesn't sound as if ft were cool there all of the time. "'W. W. R." took another little thrust at Hood River, when he said : "The Hood River Valley does not at the present time show the signs (of prosperity to which we are accustomed in Yakima. Costly farm houses are the exception. There is nothing like the Nob Hill district here: nor, I think, ia there any section of the valley of any consequence so well im proved as much as that around Zillah." We might have passed his statements up but for that one sentence, "Costly farm houses are the exception." If he had merely stated that the Yakima homes were palaces compared with tne residences of our Valley we couldn't have questioned him, that is on our own authority, for as we stated we have never seen the homes of Yakima. But, when the gentleman makes the assertion that would lead one to be lieve the traveler rarely Baw a beauti- ful and expensive home in touring the Hood ;Kiver Valley, then we have to call his little bluff. It is only the blind tourist who passes through the Hood River Valley without remarking on the beauty and convenience of many modern homes. THE fllNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM. The people of Hood River should and, from the expression of public sentiment, are rejoicing'that the long dreamed of municipal water system, which will give them an adequate supply of water, has reached the state from which in a short time it will become a reality. Only the legal details, which in lets than two months time will be completed, rnui-t be car ried out before the ground wiil be actually broken for the installation of the new system. The city council is to be congratulat- ed'on its action'in bringing the matter to a point where the present owners and the city eovernrnent are ready to mihmit the valuation of the property oi the old system to a condemnation jury. Their action in letting the Deonle voice their own fsentiments at the special election called for Satur ady, June ft, is wit-e. It is to be hoped, and will undoubtedly prove true, that the citizens will take the interest they have reently expressed and make the vote for the bond issue as nearly unanimous as possible. The city authorities have begun a rigorous enforcement of the ordinance providing that automobiles must show rear and front lamps after dark. A number of prominent autoints have been arrested 'for a neglect in failing to observe the city's rules and, though the tines assessed in no case so far have amounted to more than the costs, the fear of a penalty will cau.se the owners or cars to use cure in showing their lights. BEAUTIFUL BOOKLET ENTITLED "MT. HOOD" A beautiful booklet of poems. written by Mrs. Mary Alice Congdon and entitled "Mt. Hood, Our Indians' I'ah-To," was recently placed on sale at the local newsdealers. The booklet, which is handsomely illustrated with engravings depicting the wonderful mountain scenery, is dedicated to the l.angille fanny, to whom she says she is indebted for her material. Mrs. Congdon is a native of Nova Scotia and a sister of Mrs. James Lungille, the mother of City Kecordr H. B. Langille. Mrs. Congdon is in the city at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Norman Young, where she will spend the next two weeks.

Both.toanis have met with unusual success so far in gumes played with other cities. Out of the two former contests each, team has a victory to its credit and the battle next Sunday will be a treat to the many local fans. the BUILDING ACTIVITY. Since the beginning of Spring the dozen or more of public and business structures and residences that are being erected, or that bavo been completed, in this.citylgive it an air of thrift and progress. Contractors and carpenters have found no Idle moments. Within the past month work has been begun or completed on five public und busi ness edifices. The Fashion Livery Co, has opened its big four story livery barn, which is the most up to date and best equipped structure of its kind in this part of the state. The exterior work on the new $30,000 passenger station of the O-W. R. & N. Co. is being finished. The concrete founda tion has been laid for the two story brick building, the dimensions of which, are 50 by 100 feet being built for C. 11. Sproat. This building will be occupied by the furniture depart ment of the Franz Hardware Co. The Hood River Apple Vinegar Co. found it necessary to increase the size of its building In order to accomodate the demand made on its recently installed soft drink department and an addition to the factory is now being made. The excavation was begun last week for the handsome Congregational church A number of handsome residences are under way or have been completed. Such building activity is a source of pride to the home citizen and is noted with keen interest by the stranger who stops on his tour of the west in search of a location.

Recent failures on the part of different newspapers in Washington and Oregon to give credit to contempor aries for editorials and news stories recalls an amusing incident that happened in Indianna several years ago. During a warm political cam paign the editor of one of the papers of a smaller town of that state wrote an editorial that struck home so well that it was copied in many other papers and, as is often the case with editors, a number of the publications used the article as their own. On ao count of illness of the editor who had written the piece, his wife was forced to take charge of the paper for a few weeks. Happening on to the editorial in the paper that had given no credit for it, she clipped it, and used it as having come from the other paper when it had originally appeared in her husband's publication. In an issue of the Glacier several weeks ago an article concerning the Underwood pigeon farm W II. A. Hussey was clipped by the Bingen Ob server without due credit being given. Several papers the next week used the clipping, giving the Observer credit tor it. j Injunction Stops Assessment Sale. Alleging that the city engineer and W. ti.
