A great many loeal residents i aihu eunie from Ohio and frantie eiTi.rls were made by them to net into romrr.unieation with relatives in the in-und-ited citiets there. However, corn tmu iculion was almost impossible. The teleirraph service had been demoralized Lj the wind sturms and floods. Dr. Malcolm Uronsou's parents were residents of the city of Dayton. As s.-i.n as the news of the terrille disas ter was received here'hc.betjan making attempts to reach them. However, it was Friday before he had received any word. It was thn that a telegram whs received from G. W. Weedon, a Pennsylvania railioad official, who stated that his father was in Cincin nati and that his mother was at an un cle's out of the flooded gone. Mrs. Kronson's parents, Ur. and Mrs. Geo. W. Skinner, were residents of Hamil ton. W. H. Goodenouyh, who was former ly a resident of Hamilton, has a son residing in Dayton. Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Uartmess were worried for several days about their daughter, Miss Aldine, who is attending a conservatory of mu sic at Cincinatti. Miss Hartmess had written them that she would spend the week end in West Milton, Ohio, and thty thought it probable that she and her friends would go to Dayton on Sun day. They received a message Satur day morning from Cincinnati telling them that she was Bate in thi t city F.dwin ti.

Hobert Carter, who left here week before last for Indianapolis on a business trip and to visit his mother. wired hack that he had reached the city shortly before the height of the Mood. In his message Mr. Carter stated that there were 67 trains outside Indi anapulis unable to come further on ac count of the high waters. Mr. Uartmess formerly owned farm in Indiana in La Fayette county and situated on the Wild Cat creek "1 remember how we hud to watch the floods when 1 lived there," BBys Mr. Bartmess.

Scott, wife of Secretary 1 1 of the Commercial club, was vis iti ii i.latives in Indiana. However, Secretary Scott received a message from Mrs. Scott Inst week stating that she and the children had left Indianap olis for a visit with Michigan relatives before the flood reached its height. Local people have been ready with subscriptions of potaties and apples. Secretary Scott announces that the American Express Co. has offered to transport gratis packages to tne suf ferers of Ohio and Indiana. Subscriptions of cash were left at local banks last Saturday a. d on Sun day the churches took offerings for the storm sufferers. The sum collected at the churches and raised by private subscription, which amounted to a total of $125 was forwarded by the Commercial club to Col. M. L. Wilson, treasurer of the commission rapresenting the Hed Cross at Columbus. The Upper Valley citizens were quick to respond to the call for help and a car load of potatoes and other provi sions was sent out from there Monday. The O.-W. it. & N. Co. and the Mount Hood Railroad Co., as well as the east ren railroads are transporting free of charge all food Btufrs routed out to committees working for the relief of the sufferers. A car was placed on the a siding in the local freight yard Tuesday anil has been filled with potatoes, apples and other fruits and vegetables to be sent to Columbus. It will leave for the east today. Subscriptions were made to the carlot of supplies by business men of the city and by ranchers of the Lower Valley. Hobert R. Carter returned from In dianapolis Tuesday evening. "While I W8S in Indiana, says Mr. Carter, "1 viited a grester portion of the flooded district. While I do not think the loss of life all told will exceed 500 persons, the property loss is hard to estimate. It seems that there are few bridges left, and fine homes and residences have been swept away or severely damaged." j The city or Dayton, which sunerea more than any of the cities in the le gion of the flood, was one of the most beautiful residence cities in the state of Ohio. Packages that are sent by express to the storm sufferers should be ad dressed to Col. Edward T. Miller, Gen eral Relief Depot, Columbus, Ohio. FLAMES DESTROY SPRAY FACTORY C. L Rogers Has Praise for South "1 know of no place in the world," says C. L. Rogers, who returned last week from Long lieach, Calif.. "where I would rather spend the winter than in Long Beach. We had it a little cool there the first of the year, but it was never unpleasant. All of the rest ef the time it was delightful. And the people of Long Beach know how to make their visitors at home. They spare no money to entertain the tour ists. A hue auditorium has been built by the city, and an excellent land ives free concerts. Mrs. Rogers and two daughters. Misses Jessie and Nellie, have remained for a while in the south. MASS MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT 1TTZENS WILL DISCUSS LIBRARY Board Desires that Men and Women At tend and Become Informed on the Problems of the Institution MISSION HEARS TELEPHONE CASE The Railroad Commission completed the hearing here Monday afternoon in the case of the petition of the Home Telephone Co., which asked the body to approve the toll rate of 10 rents made on calls between the I'pper and Lower Valleys. Charles Hall and W. N. Winter appeared for the Telephone company and J. h. Ihompson, W. I. Cornell and J. W. Simmons for the Upp" Valley citizens. lhe Upper Valley people, who almost unanimously signed a petition asking that the toll rate be discontinued and that the charge for service bo placed on a flat rate basis, state that they are willing to pay a higher Mat rate than that at present in effect. Suggestion was made by Mr. Cornell that the rate be changed to fl.nO for the present charge of $1, with the provision that an suuscrioers oe anoweu to maxe ii long distance calls between the Upper and Lower Valleys each month, and that all calls after that between the two places be charged at the rate of not to exceed 10 cents each. The tele phone company declared that it deemed the loll. rate more equitable since not only the Upper Valley residents bore the burden, but that it was placed on all who made use of the system ex tending into that region. Mr. Cornell appeared befoie the commission in behalf of the Upper Valley 1'rogressive Association. PROPOSED PLAN TOO EXPENSIVE SAYS AVERY Shortly after one o'clock Tuesday afternoon the factory of the Hood River Spray Manufacturing Co., about a mile out from the city, was destroyed by fire. The origin of the fire is un known. No one was in the factory at the time the flames was discovered. Ole Christensen and Knud Haugen.who are employed there, left for the city about one o'c'o:k. They assert that no fire had been in the boiler since Monday morning. Employes of the Pacific Power & Light Co., who were working near by, discovered the fire. They think it orig inated in the upper part of the building amons a one of sulphur bags and think that it msy have resulted from spon taneous combustion. The loss incurred by the owners of the plant, among whom are Stranahan & C ark. Andv Pearson and Hon. C. W Nottina-ham. the latter of Portland. till be about $11,0(10, of whih $r(V0 Editor Glacier: What we have learned from this year's experience regarding prices'has been an object lesson, and it has been intimated that this corning year's prices will be as bad, if not worse. I find great number of growers in this valley cannot afford to enter into anything which would place us under obligations pertaining to the expenditure of vast sums of money for the purchasing or leasing of prorty. I am very much in favor of the sev eral organizations in the valley running their own business and get together by each organization being represented in a Hood River selling agency, establish ing grades and directing the inspection and acceptance oi fruit. This is what 1 would call "Getting together." Thomas E. Avery, Member of Apple Growers' Union. ORDINANCE PROVIDES FOR PROPER EXITS That the residents of the citv mav et at the facts in the case of the nro- posed purchase of a site for the county inrary, ror wnicn tne uarnegie Com mission has appropriated the sum of $17,.r00 with which the building will be erected, a mass meeting has been called for next Tuesday evening at the Com mercial club. Mayor K. O. Blanchar will preside at the meeting, and the members of the library board urge that all citizens of the city, both men and women, attend the gathering that they may become informed and be able vote as intelligently as possible at the city election to be held on the'fol- lowing lhursday for the purpose of amending the city charter wherby the council may can ior a vote or the peo ple on a bond issue not to exceed $7000 for the purchase of a library site. l nose who have mace a study of the situation, and especially the library lourd, declare that the benefits of a ibrary are manifold. Miss Mary Mc- .arcn, who is a member of the board. states that every child in the schools of the county needs the reference books that the library will supply. W hile the opinion of many, who do not know what patrons of the library are reading, ia that it is mainly the source of supply of fiction, Miss Delia Northev. the li brarian, states that fiction reading ia rapidly decreasing. The library is crowded almost every day with citizens seeking information from the refer ence books on. hand. The school chil dren of the city are learning its bene fits aud secure books there in preparing debates and papers on different subjects. the members of the library board are in favor of a purchase of a portion of the Smith block which adjoins the property made available by the vaca tion and dedication of a portion of Fifth street. They feel that the con tinuation of a course whereby this former street can be made use of will be the most economical . However, it is expressed by the members of the board that others who oppose this site may be able to offer suggestions that may lead to a better solution of the problem and all are urged to take an interest in tne matter ana come to tne Tuesday evening metting. , . NOTES ON FIRST THINGS IN OREGON An ordinance that passed first and second readings at the Monday night meeting of the city council provides that all public buildings shall have adequate and properly marked exits to be ued by patrons of the buildings in case of fire. While the Monday night meeting con sumed much of the time of the mayor and councilmen, ths business conducted was mostly routine work. The ordi nance calling for the hard surfacing of the side and residence streets of the city with asphaltic oil bound macadam, was postponed tor another week, in order to give members of the council more time to make a study of street building materials. WOMEN MUST PAY FISHING LICENSE Many Hood River people enjoyed the first day of the trout season and hied themselves away to the brooks, creeks nd river Tuesday. However, no one has been heard to report an extraordin ary catch. The season u still early here for trout. Judge Kent, the Nes tor of local nimrods, caught a number of fine trout on the lower Hood river the first day of the season. Local citizens who secured licenses on the first day of the season were: Thomas Lacey, John R. Putnam, Wal ter wauueii, Li. Li. isrown, vj.w. nuns, James Bolen, A. Nebendahl, James Stranahan, Dave Tillman, CP. Knapp, W. A. and S. W. Stark, W. B. Dyer, George Cutler, J. M. Lenz. Under the old law, with the season from April 1 to November 1, residents of other states were required to pay $5 for an Oregon license. ISow they pay only 11, while women, formerly ex empt, must carry a license or be liable to arrest and nne. Aliens, or tnose not expressing their intention of becoming citizens, must pay lor tne privilege of carrying shoulder arms, and in addi tion must pay $1 for fishing license. Formerly it was legal only to catch salmon trout at all seasons of the year, but now it is legal to catch all trout at any season over ten inchs in length, except from April 1 to October 13, when the six-inch trout limit prevailh. This enables the fisherman to catch the sea-runnina cutthroat and steelhead during the run in November, Decem ber, January, February and March, but prohibits the catching of all trout all year under tne guise oi saimon trout. News has been received here of the death of John R. T welves, father of Mrs. W. N. Winter, at his home at Pruvn, Utah. (By Rev. G. W. Kennedy) The first Indian fight in the Oregon country took place in 1847. This was just after the Whitman massacre. Dr. Whitman, with his devoted wife and 11 other members of the mission, were murdered at Wilatpu in Walla Walla region on Nov. 29, 1847. Thirty cap tives were taken by the Indians, mostly children, and were afterwards ran somed. The few that escaped spread the awful news. The provisional gov ernment of Oregon immediately took action and organized a regiment of vol unteer soldiers to chastize the perpe trators. This was the first organized military force and was called the "FirBt Regiment Oregon Mounted Riflemen." About a thousand men comprised that regiment and it was commanded by Col. Cornelius Gilliam. He was a man of much courage but or not much military experience. He had under him some captains experienced in Indi an warfare on the plains: Cant. Thomas McKay, son of Alexander Mc Kay, of Astor expedition; Capt. Na than Olney, an old scout and trader; Capt. Connoyer, afterwards mayor and Indian agent at Umatilla ; Capt.Maxon, a brilliant frontiersman; and others. lhe whole regiment was compesed of iractical riflemen and immured to lardships. Not one of these men vol unteered for pay, nor did he ever, ex pect any. lhis troop marched from lhe Dalles in December. Ihey fol lowed the emigrant road eastward, had a few supply wagons; the grass was abundant for horses. The Cayuse In dians embraced the Walla Wallas and Umatillas and immediately after the Whitman massacre they prepared for a warfare. The two war chiefs were Five Crows and War Eagle. At the war dances they made great harangues to the Indians, telling them that no white man's bullet could kill one of them. Two thousand braves were on march to meet the.soldiers. ihey met at Sand Hollow, six miles west of Well Springs, the present site of the town of Condon. The whole force of Indians marched down the val ley ; bold, because F'ive Crows had told them that he could stop any white man s bullet and War hagle said he could catch the bullets in his mouth. lhe line of battle was formed as fol lows: Capt. McKay and company on the extreme right, Capt. Maxon the extreme left and Capt. Gilliam the centre. The Indians, lea by War Eagle, made their first charge on McKay's company. When less man juu yards the command to tire was given and the unerring aim ot the Uregon riflemen meant death. War Eagle fell-he had caught the bullet, but not in the mouth. A blazing and destructive fire was poured in from all along the line. Five Crows fell on the left of the line. Horses and horsemen fell fell as if smitten by an avenging blast. In 20 minutes the whole Indian force re coiled, retreating back up Sand Hol low, and scattered over the hills so it was impossible to follow them to any advantage. Three days later the regiment was on the scene of the Whitman.massacre. They re-buried the dead and fought another battle with the hostiles on the Touchet river. This ended the war and lead to a treaty in which the Indians surrendered the murderers of Dr. Whitman, and which treaty was kept in peace by them until the great Cay use war of 1855-6. Grace U.
