Dentist PORTLAND, ORE Another car of trout frv arrived at COMMITTEE MAKE REPORT T?t TrVZ'merom X hatchery, and Wm. Mewart and W. L. Clark went with the car to Dee. The Mount Hood furnished a gpec'ml engine for the trip, and the car arrived at Dee before the regular train. Burnett Duncan had taken bin car to tlee the day previous and with Clark's and Stewart's assistance made ar rangements for the disposition of the fry. It was through the courtesy of Walker West, superintendent of the big mill, that the arrangements were made easy. Nothing wai too much trouble for him to have done, and it was done right and on time. He made arrangements for teams, had a special dinner for the "tish car crowd" ready at the hotel, and furnished all the help e could in the work, besides takina the crowd through the mill and show- ng them how it was all done. Conna- way Mercantile Co. had sent up their truck from Odell, and this made two or three trips to the West rork. Several wagons from the Dee country did the rest. 1 hanks are due to G. R. Westerbure. who gave his time and team to the work, just fur the fun it is going to give the other fellow some day, as he doesn't fish himself. Any one who has been fishine in Hood River streams the past three years, and come back empty stringed, will appreciate the work that is being done. More fish are vet to be slanted this year and the work followed un next. In connection with the stocking of the streams, a correct fish ladder is to he placed in the new dam of the Hood River Gas & Electric Co; a fish ladder will be built at the Punch Howl; the channel of the Hood River cnauged at the mouth and additional service given in wardenship over the streams, so that the new tish will be allowed to grow big enough to make real fishing. 1 here was a very small attendance at the regular meeting of the Commercial club Monday evening. The assembly hall whs used for a political meeting, : and .tht r attractions kept the members away. Tie report of the road committee was received. The committee reported that they bud prepared and posted peti tions to the county court to open por tions of the new Columbia road be tweer. here and Portland which were I not now dedicated to the public. It j was also decided to ask the court to ;desigate the road the "Portland-Hood River Highway. The special good roads committee appointed to look into the road bills, reported that with the limited time at their disposal they were unable to go into the so-called Harmony Hills thor oughly, but with the examination they were able to give them, endorsed the grange bills. The cannery committee made the fol lowing report, which was adopted: The committee appointed to investi gate the Keep-Fresh proposition and other similar drying and canning plantB beg to report as follows: We called at the business offices of the Keep-Fresh lx. ol 1 ortland and find that the com pany is incorporated for $1,000,000, 40 per cent of which stock is owned by Mr. Lambert, inventor of the patent At present they have three plants in operation or course of construction which seem to be the only assets of the company outside their patents. They do not know what their various dried products will sell for nor what they will be able to pav the grower for fruits or vegetables. lhe whole thing is still in the exper imentul stnge and we can find nothing of merit for this Club to consider. W'e have also looked into the proposi tion submitted by the Hood Kivcr Ap pie & Vinegar Co., which is a Hood Kiver concern, using Houd River prod ucts, making Hood River Cider and vin egar that are a credit and an adver tisement to the community and we fully believed that they can do the same with Hood River canned goods and we recommend that his club en dorse their proposition and lend their - . ! il - assistance in turiuerini' meir man vo add a first class cannery and evaporator to their business, which is on a good paying basis and that action b ) taken at once so that the necessary machinery can be ordered and the plant started early in the coming year. The niHtter of making an exhibit at the Spokane Apple show wat taken up and discussed, and it was decided to take no action in the matter. There was no enthusiasm being displayed in regard to making an exhioit at fepo kane this year, and it was decided to make an effort i.. behalf of the Portland Land Products show at Portland in No vember. To that end a committee was appointed to secure a guarantee of $200 to put up an artistic exhibit and go after the $.'i00 prize. C.K.Marshall, VV. E. King and J. H. lleilbronner were appointed a com mittee to look after the membership of the club. J. R. Putnam was ap pointed a committee of one to look after members in the Upper Valley. C1TJ ENJOINED FROM PAVING CONTRACT IS HELD IP BY COURT Capt. C P. Mcfan Sues as a Taxpayer Against City Paving Oak, Second and Third Streets -Council Matters. DISTRICT COURT MACHINE SHOP RUN NING FULL HANDED One of the busiest places in Hood River at this time of the year is the machine shop of W. G. Snow. The best of machinery has been installed and labor saving devices make possible speedy turning of materials. Yet, de spite this fact the shop is running full blast, with extra men on the working force. Nailing presses are much in demand at present, and Mr. Snow informs us that he Is unable to catch up with the orders for presses. Wagon racks are also much needed now, and Mr. Snow has made a number this summer. So fully equipped with modern machinory is his shop that he was able last week to take an order for one of these racks on Tuesday, begin the construction of the rack on Wednesday and deliver it completed on Friday. When one con siders the dozens of pieces to be shaped and joined and the numerous bolts and burs to he put into place and securely fastened they can begin to re alize the swiftness with which this order was filled. To go through this well appointed Bhop, to see the powerful machinery handling the heavy iron and hugh pieces of timber, turning, planing and shaping them to a perfect nicety is really a sight worth while. Kverything is manipulated by water power, from the blowers to the huge hammers and planers: and what seems almost incredible is the little water motor and one lone wheel that furnish es the fires for both the machine shop and the horseshoers' shop adjoining. . One of piece machinery which at tracted the writer's attention was the little steel band saw that will cut any thing from a cute little bracket to the big braces on a rack or wagon. And to see the little steel drill make a hole through a big bar of iron without any apparent effort, is only equaled by the thread cutting machine when it cuts the threads on an inch and a half bolt as perfectly as those on a quarter-inch bolt. Altogether it is time well spent to accompany Mr. Snow over his shop, and have him show and explain to one the purposes of the different machines in use there. The timely discovery of a fire in the basement of the Park street school Saturday evening, saved that building from destruction. The janitor had put some hot ashes into a barrel and it caught fire. The blaze and smoke were discovered by Mrs. C. H. Sletten, who gave the alarm. W. E. Colby was one of the first on the scene, and being familiar with the interior of the build ing on account of having wired the building, broke into the basement, and getting a hand extinguisher put out the baize. The fire had already started in the cordwood.and in twenty minutes would have been beyond control. The Judge Bradshaw adjourned court last Friday, a number of important cases being continued or otherwise disposed of without trial. The jury in the trial of Underwood vs. the First National Bank was out from three o'clock Wednesday after noon until nine o'clock Thursday morn ing, being unable to agree. The iury stood six to six until morning, when one of the jurors changed in favor ot the planum, lieing unable to agree, they were dismissed. The case of Otillie G, Boctzkes vs W. C. Ehrck, after a trial that lasted most of the day, was nonsuited on motion of the plaintiff's attorney. lhe condemnation suit ot the l'acihc Power & l.ieht Co. for a ritzht of wav across .1. H. Koberft' pc, wm non suited. The plaintiff asked to amen their complaint to cover ot Jy such por tion of the land as was necessary to set the notes, hut the motion was over ruled by the court. The judge held that a rurht of way would necessarily mean a twenty-foot strip of hind to give them access to their lines at all timet, and they must ask for that much land in their suit. The condemnation Buit of the O.-W. K. & N. Co. for a right of way across the ln;id of F. H. rutton was continued at the request of the railroad com pany, they not being ready to try the suit at this time. Suits of Geo. W. Brown against the P. Hinrichs estate and Ida Mercer to settle the boundary line, resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff. lhe mayor and city officials and E. O. Hall, contractor, were yesterday served with an injunction from carry ing out the contract which was let to Mr. Hall, to pave Oak, Second and Third streets, in the fire district, with asphalt macadam, or what is locally known as the "Goldendale pavement." Notice was served on the council Monday evening that such an injunc tion whs being prepared and would be served, and legal service was made yesterday. County Judge G. R. Cast ner signed the injunction order. The complaint does not allege any damages or injury to Mr. Mci:an, who sues as a taxpayer, nor does the com plaint allege that the contract was not let to the lowest and best bidder, but objection is raised merely on technical grounds, that certain legal require ments were not set forth in the notice ing for bids. '1 he injunction calls for a hearing on Friday, October 18. Uwmg to the notice of injunction and manner ot bids, the contract for the paving of Oak street, from Fifth to nth, was deferred until the next meeting of the council, and the hids were left in the hands of the street committee. Two bidders submitted three bids each, calling for three sep- rate kinds ot pavini;, and the price ranged from $4,1'.I4 to ftl.OM, or from (0 cents to $1.35 per square yard. It is probable that no attempt will he made by the council or the con- raclor to fight the injunction, as any clay now will make it too late to do any paving this fall, and the matter will probably lue laid over unitl next pring. The attitude of the property wners on the streets to be paved will no doubt govern the actions of the council in the matter. If there is too much objection to the paving, it will he deferred. Ordinance No.412, railing for cement walks on Ninth and Eleventh streets to connect with walks leading to the high school building, was passed, and bids will be called for. At the request of the Woman's Club.

No, not the sorts and varieties of worms, for there will be no worms if you have bought your truit ironi an orcnaruisi wno sprays his trees. You are eating mane aciu, ine property that makes buttermilk so heatlhful," says National Horticultur ist. "You are eating galic acid, one of the muBt necessary elements in human economy. You are eating sugar in the most assimiablo form, combined car bon, hydrogen, oxygen caught and im prisoned from the sunshine. You are eating albumen in its most available state. You sre eating gum allied to the "fragrant medicinal gumB of Ar aby." And you are eating phosphorous in the only form in which it is avail able as the source of brain and nerve energy. In addition to all these, you are drinking the purest of water and eating the most healthful and desirable fiber for the required "roughness" in food elements. The acids of the apple diminish the acidity of the stomach and prevent and cure dyspepsia. They drive out the noxious matters that cause skin eruptions and thus are na ture's most glorious complexion mak ers. They neutralize in the blood the deleterious elements that poison the brain and make it sluggish. The con tained phosphorous is not only greater than in any other form of food but it is presented in a shape for immediate use by the brain and nerves, where it may llush into great thoughts and great deeds. The ancients assigned the ap ple as the food for the gods, and its juices the ambrosial nectar to which they resorted to renew their youth. Men are the gods of todHy, and the ap ple is their royal food, the magic re newer of youth. Eat a rich, ripe apple every day and you have disarmed all diseases of half their terror. Evans-Smith At the home of J. H. Swift, on the Heights at high noon last Saturday, the happy words that made two hearts beat as one were spoken by Rev. Swift, pastor of the Christian church, when G. R. Evans and Miss Maree Smith, both of Hood River, were pro nounced husband and wife, in the pres ence of the father of the bride and the parents of the groom. The happy pair went at once to their home near the Tucker bridge, where they are at home to . their friends all the time. These young people are too well known to need introduction, and they may be assured that the glad hand of all who know them is extended to them with all the good wishes lor a as pros- GOOD ROADS MEETING CREATES DISCUSSION An interesting meeting on Good Roads was held at the Commercial club rooms Tuesday evening. Peter Kuehn- ling, oi lhe Dulles, and Mrs. Lihth ToBiet Westheted, ot Portland, ad dressed the meeting. Mr. Kuchrriini; spoke on the importance of the Portland-Hood Kiver Highway and the or ganization of the Inland Kmpire High way Association, which will aid in the building of the road by moral support of financial measures destined to com plete the work in the shortest time. It is hoped 100 signers of the organization will be found in Hood River. Mrs. Weathered 's talk was mainly along the lines of the moral advant ages of good roads to any community, and was foluwed by an open discussion in which Murray Kay, A. I. Mason, J. F. Hatcheldcr and others took part. Mrs. Weathered stated that in Wash ington state the women had taken an active interest in the good roads.move ment, and had been able to accomplish much good in many communities. It seemed better to give the women's time and support to such questions as this rather than the temperance ques tion, which many of the men thought they would tackle. They have also forwarded a movement to get the women to buy Washington made prod ucts wherever possible, hhe stated that wherever 1000 women of a com munity got to demanding a baking powder made in Washington, it soon made quite a difference in the way storekeepers learned to push home made products. The relation of good roads to home industries is found in getmg the country residents to buy home made products and in this man ner get the city man and manufacturer to be interested in the good roads ques tion of hiH country consumer. A. 1. Mason took advantage of the occasion to score a couple of points for the (irange Koad Kills, which the Com mercial club committee had endorsed at their lust meeting. Mr, Kay s remarks included the in formation that in building roads in Hood River county, it would be impor tant in the future to look to the drain age question, a point that has been more or less neglected in past construction. on the scene. perity all along the way. Rijiby-Kamcrer Friday evening at the Methodist par sonage occurred the wedding of Rev. Jesse W. Rigby, of this city, and Mrs. Mary Jane Kamerer, of Minneapolis, Minn., Rev. W.B . Young officiating. Mrs. Kamerer arrived from a sojourn in Iowa last Thursday, and contrary to the expectation of Mr. Kigby a Hood River friends, who planned to attend his wedding Sunday forenoon, persuad ed him to consent to a quiet wedding Friday evening. The groom has been a resident of this valley many years and is well known, having been at one time the pistor of the local Methodist church. The bride, while a stranger, has al ready made many friends, and the best wishes of the community is extended to them in their new home. Rev. E. T. Simpson tendered his res ignation last Sunday as rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church to take effect January 1. Mr. Simpson has a ranch near Ridgefield, Wash., that is demand ing his attention, and he will spend a couple of years at least on his place. He regrets leaving Hood River, where he has made many warm personal friends during his stay here, and the community are sorry to lose him and h s estimable wife. J. B. Hunt had his arm burned Sat urday evening while riding on the chemical to the fire at the Park street school.
