HOOD RIVER, ORl (i()N Cent Store CITY REGULATES ELECTRIC WIRES ORDINANCE NECESSITATES CHANCE New Law Will Require Reconstruction of Many Lines in City Limits- Purchas ers Find Defect in Bonds. Acting upon the petition, which was presented to them at the meeting of the council last week by the electrical workers of the cit, the Hoard ol Aldermen at Monday night's meeting put on final passage an ordinance, the clauses of which effect a material change in the construction of electrical wires in the city .within the next lit) days. The most important sections of the ordinance read as follows: Section 1. No commission, officer, agent, or employe of the City of Hood Kiver, nor shall any person, partner ship, or corporation whomsoever, (a) Kim, place, erect or maintain, in the suid City of Hood Kiver, any wire or cable used to conduct or carry elec tricity on any puta (or on any cross arm, bracket, or other appliance at tached to such pole) within a distance of 15 inches from the center line of said pole ; provided, that where it is necessary to change the direction of the pole wire at an angl-i of more than 10 decrees, the said pole wire may be strung not less than 1H inches from the center line of said pole ; and provided further, that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph ( J) shall be held not to apply to such wires, or cables in cases on poles, nor to "bridle" or "jumper" wires on any pole wnieh are attached to or connected with the "signal" wires of the same pole, nor to any "aerial" cable, as between such cable anil any pole on which it origi nates or terminates, nor to wires run from "circuit" wires to are lamps placed upon or suspended from any bracket attached to poles, nor to any wire or cable where the same is at tached to the top of the pule, as be tween it and the said pole, nor to wires or cables .strung within fifteen (1!") inches from the center line of any pole and within four feet from the top thereof in instances where there are no wires or cable" on the opposite aide of the said pUIe, nor to multiple cables running vertically upon the pole to the top thereof in instances where there are no wires or cables within a dis tance of 13 inches from the center line of such pole. The wire or cable run 13 or 15 inches from the center line ol the pole shall be known as the pole wire. (e) Run, place, erect or maintain in said City of Hood Kiver, any "guy" wire or "guy" cable attached to any pole or appliance to which is attached any wire or cable used to carry or con duct electricity without causing said "guy" wire or "guy" cable to be kept effectively insulated at all times at a distance of U)l U:.z thnu 'six feet nor more than eight feet (measured along the line of said wire or cable) from upper end thereof. (f) Run, place, erect, or maintain, in said City of Hood Kiver, vertically on any pole, any wire or cable used to carry or coiuiuci electricity witnoui causing such wire or came to lie at all times encased in a casing of wooden material not less than three-quarters of an inch in thickness lor a distance of four feet from the point of crossing any wire or cable carrying or conduct ing electricity at any time ; provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph (f) shall not apply to wiies run from ciicuit wires to arc lamps placed upon poles, nor to crossing wire wheie none of such wires carries more than 250 volts of electricity, nor to any vertical wire which is more than Pi inches from center line of pole. (j) Kun, erect, place, or .maintain, in sa il City of Hood Kiver, any wire or cab'-e carrying or conducting elec tricity on any cross-arm unless there is a clear space of not less than 12 inches between each end of said cross arm and the nearest wire to such end, or run, erect, place or maint; in in said City of Hood Kiver any pole to which are attached two separate lines of wires crossing each other at right angles, unless such pole is equipped with double cross-arms. t'rovided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to poles or cross-arms in ruses where such poles and cross arms are used c .x clusively for telephone and telegraph wires. Section 2. Any person, persons, co partnership, association or corporation, or any member, officer, or managing sgent, of any corporation, association, or co-partnership, violating any of the provisions of this ordinance, upon con viction thereof, shall be punished by a tine not exceeding two hundred dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding one hundred days, or by both such fine or imprisonment, Provided, no violation of any of the provisions of this ordi nance shall be held to aiise or exist by reason of the temporary location of any wire or pole or cable or cross-arm while the same is being actually run, placed or erected. The provisions of the new ordinance will effect to a great extent the racilie Tower & Light Co., which will have to make numerous changes in its wiring. The Hydro-Electric Co. will be slightly effected. It will find it necessary to order new cruss-armn to comply with the citv ordinance. A letter was received from Mrs. E. C. Hansberry, of Seaside, through her agent, 1'. 1). Tweedy, asking fur a settlement of the interest due on de ferred payment for Heights lots, which the city contemplates using in connec tion with its municipal water system. The communication wa-i referred to the Finance committee with power to act, as was a communication from I.. A. Henderson, who notified the council that he was ready to give bond in the sum desired by them. Two electrical workers of the city, A. I.. Mulvaney and F. K. Howard, employes, as it is understood, of the I'acific l'ower & Light Co.. asked that their names be withdrawn from the recent petition asking a change in the construction of wiling of electrica1 companie in the city. J Owing to an impossibility to give proper spc deflations for estimates, as ! was stated at the meeting of the coun cil, fire escapes had not yet been con structed on any of the two story build ings of the city. The marshall re ported that he had seen owners of the buildings and that work complying with the city's laws would be under taken at once. liuiMicg owners were' instructed to confer with members of j the Fire and Watec committee or the I city engineer in order to secure specifi cations, j The city engireer reported a number ' of uncompleted pieces of sidewalk in ' the fire limits. The Judiciary commit- j tee was instructed to comply with an adopted motion otNo ember G and ad vertise for bids on the work that it might be completed as soon as possible under city supervision. The city engineer, j'. M. Morse, re ported that the Heights grading had been completed and recommended that it be paid for, except a portion on Fourth street, which he recommended be left unpaid, in order to care for Un rolling of the streets next Spring. K. 1). Gould It Co. asked permission to excavate a basement beneutht their place of business on Oak street, the petition was referred to the Fire and Water committee with power to act. A communication was received from the Security & Savings Hank, of Toledo, Ohio, reporting a fault with the sewer bonds purchased by them. 1 he defect was cited as being in the installment oupons attached to them. CityAttorney Derby reported that he did not see why the'hond would not be satis factory if the installment coupons were left blank. The bond purchasi is asked that the city send them Jill in order that tlicy might have the bonds reprinted at an Ohio shop. It was repoited to the council that a large number of fir trees in the narks of the citv, and especially Eliot I'ark along Indian creek, have been cut for Christmas trees and other decorations. The marshal was ordered to put an im mediate stop to such acts of vandalism and the Recorder was instructed to give public notice of the intention to vigorously prosecute any and all of fenders, which action will be con curred in by all thinking citizens. TO USE OF GILL NET Showing their legal authority under licenses secured from the state govern ment, F. A. Greenman and J. K. Cam eron have been operating gill nets in the Hood Kiver near this city. Local devotes of the rod, who find great pleasure in fishing in the beautiful stream for steelheads and salmon trout, declare that this is the first time nets have ever been used in the local stream. If they are Hllowed to continue in use, it is asserted, Hood Kiver will be ruined as a fishing stream. The matter has been taken up by a number of the more enthusiastic of local fisherman, who will interest the local organizations, such as the Com mercial Club, and the condition of the stream will be presented to the State r ish Commission, which will be asked to close Hood River to gill nets bv declaring it a spawning stream. Mr. Greenman when seen Monday morning about the maintenance of the nets, stated that he and his partner had been fishing in Hood, - Kiver with them. "While our license gives us the privilege of fishing by such means In the Columbia and tributaries, we have realized but little profit from work done in the local stream, and it is proba ble that we will soon remove our nets. " The Hood Kiver and its tributaries are favorite spots for Northwestern Nimrods during the Spring and Sum mer months. Sportsmen viced with each other during the past Summer in an endeavor to land the championship steelhead, large specimens of which. are caught as far out as Lake munch. U. OF 0. CLUB PROM ISES FUN TONIGHT When the thirty lads in the Univer sity of Oregon Glee Club face the foot lights in tha Monroe Opera House to night the people of Hood River will witness a concert which is heralded from Portland and the Southern Ore gon towns as the best that has ever been presented by a Glee (Tub of the State University. Melvin Ogden, the director of the Club has revolutionized the program this year by doing away with the Mandolin Club and adding several humorous skits and more col lege songs in its place. There are three skits on the program entitled, "Mr. ('rune Visits Oregon," "Hirds of a Feather," and "Maid for a Night." In thtse, such veterans on the Club as Hums Powell, Melvin Ogden, Raphael (ieisler, Vernon Vawter, Glen Storie, and Jerry Martin take the leading roles. Never since the days when "Ruck" Kelly strode before the foot lights in the role of stuntman on the Oregon Glee Club has there been such an all around stuntser as Melvin Og den. His imitation of Schuman lb ink and his illustration on the piano of the depredations of Jack Pulton, the ruf fian, are worthy of any professional. Lou Henderson, of Hood Kiver, who led the Oregon Glee Club for four years and Roy Kelly also a former member of the Club, and Rcymin d Karly, who has just returned from the University for the Holidays have been actively boosting the Oregon Glee Club concert and it is expected that the usual capacity house will greet the lads in their performance tonight. One of the songs on the program is en titled "Hail to Oregon", was written by Lou Henderson. Injunctions Tie I'p Hydro Company. Ti e Pacific Power Ki Light Co. has secured through the Federal court two injunctions against the Hydro-Flcctric, the papers of one of which were served on N. 0. Evans, president of ton com pany, Thursday morning and the other Friday eve ling by a deputy United Stated marshal. I he Inst temporary restraining order prevents the new company from stringing its wins along the county road and into the city over the Pacific Company's lines and the second is to prevent the Hydro from turning on its power. The in junctions are based on the grounds that th3 Hydro Klectric Company's lines if allowed to be strung above the high voltage lines of the Pacific Com pany may cause serious damage to the iatter company. In order to hamper as long as possi ble the efforts of the Hydro company, the Pacific Company has secured as great a postponement as possible of I tne hearing of the suit. A great number of Hydro Electric contracts call for supply of energy on .January 1. The orders will invalidate : contracts. However, the local patrons, who stronlgy favor the Hydro-Electric, have with but two exceptions signed renewal contracts. EAST-SIDERS PLAN 0RC1IARDISTS WILL INCORPORATE Big Plant (Wring a Great Ground Spare Will Be Fretted Near Van Horn Station on Railroad. "Although we have not yet fullv worked out the itetiiils of our plan," says M. M. II,!!, president of the Hood Kiver Hanking Ai Trust Co., and one of the members of a group of Fa.st Side orchard men, who will incorporate for the purpose of erect. ng a large storage house lor their apples, "we have Kli nitoly decided to incorporate and go ahead with our undertaking. 1 he association of Last Side orchard men, composed of Wilson Fike, M. M. Hill, A. W. Peters, K. K. l'ooley, 1'. K. Poem, G. L. Smith, W. R. Shiinelt and E. L. MeClam, met in the rooms of the Commercial Club Tuesday after noon, in order to talk over and perfect their plans. The acres of bearing orchard repre sented in the association are ninuiig the best of the Valley. While the height of the proposed structure and its detailed plans have not been worked out, it is understood that it will be thoroughly equipped not only for storing the apples but as a packing house. The ground dimensions of the new building measure 275 feet in length. One end will be 101) feet wide and the other 5ii in order to follow the line of the railroad siding. It will be erected just south of the Van Horn station on the land of Mr. Pcem. The members of the proposed corpor ation own bearing orchard aggregating more than "00 acres. The building they propose will be a great addition to the Valley's storage facilities. COUNTY MAY BOND The county court is awaiting with interest the outcome of the Jackson county bond case. If the suit termin ates favorably a bond issue will be submitted to the voters of this county. Jackson county's citizens recently voted for hii issue of bonds of h million and a half dollars. In addition to vot ing bonds for the building and im provement of county roads. County Judge Culbcrtson thinks it wise that the county should at the Hume time vote bonds for the construction of a public dock. Ho has just submitted a letter to the voters of the county, in older to get an expression of opinion. "It may be" says the Judge, "that the voters are opposed to this move ment. If so we do not want to in clude it in the bond issue for it may kill the main end that we desire to attain." BIG4ClPAM LAUGII PRODUCER The patrons of (he Pine Grove Grange hall will all be sorry if they miss the exhibition to be given by the Hig 4 Company there tomororw night. Indeed, some of the members of the local audience of Tuesday night, assert that they are going out to the Grunge hall, to witness the performance and hear the Vulley oichardists laugh. And laugh they will for the fun of the per formance is side splitting. The stunts of the Friedlanders are excellent, and you sit and hold your sides with your hands while you listen in satis faction to the exipiisite musical selec tions of the Clayton sisters. From the time the curtain rises until the appearance of the ghost in the last act the performance is brimful of clean, wholesome fun. Roth Clayton sisters are excellent musicians, one of thctn entertaining the audience with a cornet polo anil the other with a violin selection. The show is concluded with a comedy farce in which Sum r'ried lander plays well the part of a negro servant. SCHOOL CENSUS SHOWS INCREASE Clerk of the City School Hoard, F. A. Hisliop, announces that the school census of district No. 3, which has just been completed, shows an increase of 47 over that of last year. The num ber of children in the district last year between the ages of lid and 4 jears numbered XK5, while this year they total m2. These figures do not include pupils attending the city high school, who are not residents of the county nor high seh.iol pupils who are over 'l years of age. I'piicr Valley is Host. More than fifty of the citizens of this city and neighboring Valley vicin ities boarded Hie special train on the Mt. Hood line last night and journeyed to Parkdale, where they al te' ded the lecture of Judge Stephen Lowell, of Pendleton, and were the giu-sts of the Upper Valley Progressive Association. Judge and Mrs. Lowell arrived here Monday evening and were present for the Pacific University Glee Club enter tainment, in which their daughter look part. They visited in Portland Tuts day, returning to this city in the even ing and going out to Parkdale on the morning tram.
