The following long communication
was received from W. S. Chapman rel
ative to the acquisition by the city of
Hie water front property controlled by
the Hood River Terminal Co.:
Portland, Oregon, August 2, 1911.
To the City Council of Hood River,
Oregon.
Gentlemen: Your proposition to pay
$ lull per ucre for twelve acres off of
the East side of that part of the Cue
Donation I, ami Claim north of tie
railroad property, was duly received.
This property is now owned by the
Hood River Terminal Company, re
cently incorporated, and 1 am author
ized to i ti t in it) you that if you inaUe an
offer to pay $.r(M per acre for such a
trip of land, your proposition will be
amestly considered.
1 have recently bought less valuable
land adjacent to the Coe claim and the
railroad, and considered it a fortunate
purchase at $2iiO per acre. Lfeel that
there is some inundation for the grand
future predicted lor the Hood River
country and 'I expect to see this hind
sell tor SI (111(1 per ucre.
1 have been privately informed that
You intend to condemn a strip or land
front the railroad to the Columbia
River, so that boats may land in your
ity during the summer freshets, he
nose vour merchants claim that, they
have lost thousands nl dollais this
vear because Some boats did not land
icre.
Well! Go to it. Don't let anything
1 twrile despoil your fond but miscon
ceived hones.
If it is true thut Die Mood Kiver
merchants really lett such a loss, it is
strange they did not help to make up
the paltry $20(1 whicli would have en
aided the Dean Ferry to land its boats
in Hood River during the high water
thought this price quite reasonable
as it is the same amount mat ivir.
Dean tillered to nay mt) in the spring
of HMO, if I would prevent all boats
fiom landing at Hood River. In truth
the desirability of the landing at Hood
River town is not very great, for the
boats or the Regulator Line, did not
avail themselves of the right to come
here this Hummer although the pnv
ilege was puid'for; and all other boats
except those ol the Dean lerry, did
and there.
However, the future is more import
ant. Let us consider what would nest
be done: ami this may develop some
obstinate fads, for the possession of
Hood Kiver Slough is hut a small lac
tor in the steamboat landing matter.
If a wharf or other permanent moor
ing place is to be provided, it ought
to be at a point available all the year
round. This matter was considered by
Mr. C. D. Moore anil myself alfer we
hail bought the Coo land in 1907,
Where could we provide a permanent
landing for every season of the year:
Ho thought it should be directly north
of First street in your City. 1 call
attention to the. distance to the dolphin
piles at low water to the northward
and to the smoke pipe of the old mill
at Dean's landing, and claimed that
the latter was the shorter distance and
while that zwas agreed to, Mr. Moore
still supported the duo north location,
although he admitted there are many
rious dilhculties to overcome.
I may say that i know that there is
J l A I ... . 1
a move aiooi .10 run uoaia oeiwecti
Underwood, White Salmon and Hood
River, and also to Hingen, the Hood
River landing to be near the present
steamboat landing, and the fi.re of .
cents to include a vehicle ride from
the landing to the City.
In conclusion let me say that to my
mind the solution of the matter will be
a wharf and warehouse at or near the
present steamboat landing, with street
cars running on a direct road between
such landing and the business section
of vour City. 1 assure you I have
taken great interest in'this mutter and
would be glad to co-operte with you in
reaching a reasonable and elleetive
settlement of it. W. S. Chapman.

Vrsistent report from all over the
tate have reached the othee of Game
arden William S. Finlev. to 'the
fleet that the laws prohibiting the
hunting of deer with hounds are being
violated. At the present tune, depu
ties are hastening to the various
grounds where deer are known to
gather, with explicit irstructions tu
arrest such viulaturs and prosecute
them to the full extent of the law.
Mr. Finely states that he will overlook
no opportunity to punish deer hunters
no use hounds or other dogs lor the
pursuit of deer, as the extinction of
this animal is assured unless strenuous
measures are adopted immediately.
With less than TOO antelope remain
ing in Oregon, evidence has reached
the ollice of Mr. Finley that a sheep
owner of Southeastern Oregon has
systematically planned the killing of
many of these animals during the last
two winters. lhe object of this
unlawful attempt, it is said, is to
provide bait for coyotes, lhe carcass
of the antelope is poisoned where it
falls, which, when eaten by the coyote,
onseiiuently destroys that animal.
Deputites are now Beeking exact
evidence, with the intention of dis
covering the guilty party, when
lihgent prosecution will follow. The
identity of the sheep owner is, as yet.
unknown, although the otlieers are on
the trail of the man, who will be made
rslriking example of the seriousness
of this infraction of the law.

A number of real estate deals in
orchard land are reiKiited for the past
week. Three sales have been made
by G. V. Fwdards & Co. Augmt
Neihans sold through their agency his
15 acre tract at the top of the Fast
Side grade to Prof. Theodore 1.. Il.tr-
ley, a member ot the faculty of the
University of Chicago. Prof. Hailey,
who after investigating all the best
known fruit sections of the United'
States decided to lot-ad I n Hood River,
will make extensive improvement
this fall.
William A. Combs sold to Frank
Menefee, of Portland, the ten acrt
tract recently purchased by him in
Willow Flat. The place was purchased
by Mi. Combs last fall from Noah
Hone. He intended to make the loca
tion his permanent home. Mining in
terests in Alaska, however, demand
his attention and ho was forced to sell
in order to leave for the far north and
look after his property there. Mr.
Combs says, however, that Hood River
has won his heart and that he will dis
pose of his mining property and return
here later and remain. "Hood River
orchards are far better investments
than Alaska gold mines," he said.
The tract, which is all set in bearing
trees, is considered one of the best
p aces in the Valley. Whilethe con
sideration of the transaction bus not
been made public, it is understood that
the land sold for one of the best prices
received in recent transactions.
G. Y Fwdards & Co. also report the
sale of 20 acres of the Mart. Raud
tract to Dr. J. Gutherie, of Valparaiso,
Neb. The purchaser is a boyhood
friend of W. J. Collier, who bought

ilies here soon.

whereby he suld to Prof. F. F,.
Knowles, ot St. I.otllH, MS tract ot
eight acres in the lielmont district.
Prof. Knowles, who has been teaching
mathematics for a number of years in
the Missouri schools, will retire from
an educational lite and will take pos
session of the place immediately. At
the time of Ins purchase ho had been
in the Valley but a week. He states
that he has never seen a region that
makes so delightful a home site as
does the Hood River Valley.
One of the largest purchases made
last week was that consummated by
Ralph M. Root, who bought from F..
T. Fulls and others a tract of K0
acres. The land, which is undevel
oped, is located in the Middle Valley.

Huskey and Jake McCowan, fruit
growers or tlie iviosier district, says a
dispatch to the Oregonian, returned
Thursday from a week s hunting trip
on Eagle creek in the mountains hack
of Cascade Locks. A strange story is
related by the hunters. On the first
day out a seven prong buck was killed
and camp was then pitched on Eagle
creek, the deer being hung up to a
tree. The hunters thoughtlessly
leaned their guns against the tree and
retired for the night a few yards away.
lhey were awakened afoout daybreak,
they say, by the cracking of the
underbrush and Dunsmore sprang for
his gun. but at the same instant a
large black bear faced him, evidently
in search ot food and so determined in
getting a taste of venison that Hit
hunters were all routed. It was not
until late that afternoon that bruin
left bis find and permitted the hunters
to secure their gun.

A find of unusual interest was made
Monday, July 31, by a party which
ascended Mount Hood, when an oil
cloth-covered roll was discovered
hidden under a large rock near the
western etlge of the summit. On
opening the roll a book was found
entitled, "Oregonianisms," and pub
lished in Portland in July 1884. On the
inside cover wus written, "Up alone in
a climbing turn," and signed with the
initials, P. O. C, and the date,
August 2:i, 1884. Tlie book has been
on tne summit under the snow for 27
years. The unprecedented warm
weather of the past, few weeks has
melted vast quantities of snow and
ice on the mountain, and ropes that
have been covered for many years are
now exposed.
