Underwood, . - Washington PETITION WILL ASK FOR COUNTY LIBRARY At the instigation of the members of the Hood River Woman s club, which has long been making an earnest en deavor toward securing a public library for the use of the people or the city and county, a petition will soon be circulated among the citizens in order to secure the pubic sentiment on the matter. The following expressions have been made by the Woman's club through its Library Press committee: The proposed County Public Library is now before the citizens of Hood River County. In accordance with a recent law the county may devote one-half a mill of the county tax for the maintenance of a public library. For the following reasons the property owneis of this county should give sympathetic atten tion to this cause, hirst, because th Woman's Club committee is going ask only one quarter of a mill, instead of the one half to which they are entitled; secondly, because before the county takes any action, they must be assured of the hearty Bupport of th people ; thirdly, because of the broad policy of the committee in insisting that it be a library for the whol county. I he attempt is being made to mak this movement of great value to ou whole county so that the books may find their way into homes anywhere i Hood River, thus giving an advantag to those at some distance, and also offering a strong inducement to pros pective settlers who wish to Know whether the town has good churches schools and a good library. A petition will be circulated soon to ask every property holder to state his or her desire for a library, and willingness to have the one-fourth a null of county tax used annually its behalf. "A good start has been made already through the generous action of the city, whose council have recognized the value of (his movement, and have given a piece of land for the library site, 'lhe men and women of large vision who build for the future will gladly signify their sympathy.

Although niHny matters of impor tance have come before the city ofli cials during the pait week, nothing has arisen demanding the immedhite attention of th: council and there was no .netting Mjnday niihl. However, a meeting will be held this evening to consider the action of Morns Bros.. the Portland bund brnkers.who, statiwi; as their cause the litigation of J. F. Batehelder and Wv-i tmst company holding the bonds of the Pacific Power & Light Co., refuse to take the f'.Mi.iKH) municipal water bond issue, the cm tract for the purchase of which was assigned to them from I'ieti Co., of Chicago. The certified check for the sum of $1,000 deposited with the city by the brokers still remains in the hands of the city. The refusal will necessitate a re-advertisement of tin: bonds. However, it is hoped thut the matter will be adjusted with the brok ers. It will be of particular interest to the residents of the city to know that the committee, to which was referred the communication of the Hydro-Electric Co., making an olfer to furnish electricity for street lighting, hus been favorably received.

While the coming election for Ithe purpose of chosing four councilman, a city treasurer and city recorder is but little mentioned in the lower city, a great interest hasheen mauifuuled on the Heights. In order to determine what course they could legally pursue in regard to the election, the Hood River Heights Push Club, referred the matter to tne attorney general of the state, and the following is his reply : 1 can see no objection to the entire city ticket being nominated by peti tion, llie Lnrect I'rimary Law noes not place on the ballot as independent candidates only, since in order 10 ue placed on the balllot as candidates of political parties, the provisions of the birect Primary Law regarding notice of election, etc., mil t be observed."
