DON, CLEVER HORSE
OF DR. J. F. WATT
(By Louise Brjant in Oregonian)
Everybody in Hood River knows
"Don", Dr. Fred Watt's beautiful
horse. In fact, Don is about one of the
first beings with which new arrivals in
that valley of famous apples become
acquainted. For nearly a score of
years Don has done faithful service as
a country doctor's horse. Before the
day of the automobile, fleet-footed ani
mals in that capacity were valuable in
deed. My own acquaintance with him came
about in the usual way of visitors in
Hood River. 1 went there when the
apple trees were blooming and a sweet
elusive fragrance filled the air. Stand
ing in the sunshine in a crooned little
street I saw a horse hitched to a trim
little buggy coming down the road
with out a driver. My impulse was to
stop him, although he seemed to know
his own business quite well. As 1
stepped forward I felt a touch on my
arm and someone said : "Never mind,
that's old Don ; he knows where he is
going, all right."
Curiosity prompted me to follow him
several blocks and I saw him turn at
last and go straight to the door of a
livery stable, before which he stood
quite still. A stable boy came out and
called cheerily: "Well, there you are,
Don ; come right in." And he went in.
So did I, although I received no such
cordial greeting, but rather an embar
rassed and intolerant stare s if the boy
was thinking, "Well, here comes an
other one wanting to know about Don,
and 1 suppose I've got to tell her."
Don, I found, is an aristocrat with
the blood of the best Kentucky racing
stock in his veins. During the first
years of his service the roads through
out the valley were rough and undevel
oped and Dr. Watt was often weary
when he returned from sohie hurried
call, so he decided to teach Don to
walk to the livery satble where he was
kept. In a short time the lesson was
learned and although the family moved
to various parts of the town, Don al
ways knew the way from the house to
the barn whether it was two blocks or
wo miles. He usually walks leisurely
and sedately 11 the way unless some
ambitious driver tries to pass him.
Then he shows his sporting blood by
running for dear life, much to the
amusement of the spectators.
The final test came when the old
stable was closed and Don was put in
new quarters. The first night they took
him to the new barn, bets and opinions
were various as to what he would do
the next evening. Quite a crowd
gathered. Don went to the old stable.
He stood still, but no one came to greet
him. The onlookers waited in silence.
All of a sudden he seemed to remem
ber, tossed his glossy head and can
tered gayly to the new stable where he
has lodged since.
"It's strange," I remarked to Dr.
Watt, "that you never got the motor
craze with so many it achines in this
valley."
"Why, Don and I are such old
friends, you know," he replied, "and
really he's quite good enough for me."
I have a sneaking notion that if he
ever did get the "bug" he wouldn't
let Don know for the world.
L H. Stone Taken on Embezzlement.
No small surprise was sprung last
Thursday, when Marshal Robert T.
Lewis arrested L. H Stone, who has
been here in the interest of a company
selling installment tickets to the Pan
ama Exposition at San Francisco. The
arrest was made on request of W. P.
Lillis, special officer of the Oregon
Electric and United Railway Compa
nies. The young man, who was a for
mer student at O. A. C, was charged
with an embezzlement of funds from
the United Railway, whose agent tie
was at Helveston. He confessed the
embezzlement to the arresting officers
before he was taken to Hillsboro.
Friends of Mr. Stone, who it is said
will return to resume work at the
White Salmon saw mill, profess the
greatest astonishment at his arrest. It
is declared that lie was conducting a
business at Helveston, and the funds of
the United Railway, which are claimed
to have been embezzled, were put in
the business, which failed.
The auditor of the company knew of
the appropriation of the funds, and
Mr. Stone was working in an effort to
pay the sums.

LOCAL PEOPLE TO GO
TO WHITE SALMON
Several dozen local people will jour
ney to White Salmon Sunday, when
Rev. H. A. MacDonald, pastor of the
Unitarian church, will hold services on
the lawn of the Jewett hotel. This will
be the second of a series of meetings
that the people of Underwood, White
Salmon and Hood River are holding in
order to become better acquainted.
The first was held here two weeks ago
at the Unitarian church.
Commodore Dean, of the Hood-River
White Salmon ferry service, declares
that he will devote all efforts toward
giving those who make the trip the
best of accomodation.
Mrs. Jewett, who's summer hotel is
known all over the northwest, will
serve one of her famous old fasthioned
dinners at 4 o'clock in the afternoor.
Commodore Dean says that all who
want to get their name in the pot for
one of these wonderful dinners should
communicate with him at telephone
number 4531.
N. C. Evans tells of a recent experi
ence with a Portland painter, who
wanted to overhaul his machine." He
made an agreement to paint my car
for $40. I promised to let him have
the job, if he would keep the machine
a month, suys Mr. Evans, "for thus I
would save more than $40 during the
month. It always costs more than
twice $40 to run the machine."
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wilson and Mr.
and Mrs. James H. Polhemus, their
son-in-law and daughter, passed through
the city oft the Fourth en route to
Trout Lake, where they spent the week
end. They motored over to White Sal
mon, going thence to the scenic Klick
itat county valley.
Mr. 'and Mrs. John li. Rumsey and
two children, John Marshall and Elinor
Rumsey, arrived last week to spend
the summer here visiting Mrs. Rum
seys' sister, Mrs. A. L. 'iibbitts, and
husband. They toured from San Diego,
Calif., where Mr. Rumsey is engaged
in the mercantile business, to San
Francisco by automobile. There they
took the boat for Portland. Mr. Rum
sey has brought his machine here and
will make a number of long tours
throughout the Mid-Columbia district,
camping in the mountain wilds visiting
the different places noted for their
scenic beauty.
A number of the young ladies of the
Valley are becoming enthusiastic mo
torcyclists. None of them have as yet
learned to manage the machines alone.
However, they are taking long spins
on the tandem vehicles. One of the
longest tours that has ever been made
by a young lady was from Central Vale
to the city.
Culver K. Osgood has just received
his big Pope motorcycle. The machine
is painted a grey and one of the hand
somest seen in the Valley. Mr. Os
good, before he received his license tag
gave some of his girl friends a ride, as
a result receiving much joshing; for
attached to the rear seat was the pla
carded statement: "License Applied
For."
No Charge For Those With Tents
The erroneous supposition seems to
have become prevalent that a charge
will be made for tent space at the
Chautauqua, whether one rents a tent
from the committee or furnishes it
himself. However, no charge will be
made those who furnish their own tents
and erect them, other than the season
ticket to attend the performances. A
slight charge will be made for erecting
tents of those who furnish their own
camping outfit.
Boyce Is Bankrupt
A. M. Boyce, who has been conduct
ing the restaurant on Oak street, has
filed a petition involuntary bankruptcy.
The former restaurant keeper, who
closed his place of business last Satur
day, was arrested on the charge of ab
sconding preferred by creditors, who
feared that he would leave with funds
due them on notes and accounts. Ha
made bond and later left for Portland.
COMMIS'R M'CURDY BE
COMES NATURALIZED
Rubber Stamp Ink at this office.
No small surprise was sprung in the
court room Monday, when it was an
nounced that G. A. McCurdy, who has
been a member of the county court for
the past three years was seeking final
papers on his natuaralization. The
general opinion prevailed that he was a
native of the United States. However,
the popular commissioner was born in
the province of Victoria, Canada. His
papers of intenton were allowed in 18X9
in Multnomah county. Mr. McCurdy,
who owns one of the largest of the
West Side orchards, was for many
years a locomotive engineer on the O.
R. & N. Company's line. He was on
the train that was stalled here during
the winter of the hard snow and to
which food had to be carried on sleds.
Carl Emil Swanson was also granted
papers of naturalization by Judge
Bradshaw Monday. Mr. Swanson who
is head sawyer for the Wind River
Lumber Co., at Cascade Locks, was
born in Sweden. The entire mill was
shut down for the day in order that the
might be made a citizen of the United
States.
Others naturalized were: Ralph
Davies, native of England; C. A. Bell,
native of New Brunswick, Canada;
Ashley Wilson, native of Manitoba,
Canada.
Mr. Bell filed his intention in 1880.
Unitarian Church

there will be only one service, at 8 p.

White Salmon for a picnic dinner and
an out of door service. The Unitarian
congregation invites their friends to
join them, bringing their lunches and
meeting at the White Salmon ferry at
10:30 a. m.
The 8 o'clock services will be in the

brary Association, and all who have no
other place to put their discounts are
solicited to place them with the associ
ation or with the mercantile company.
Mrs. F. E. Newby, chairman of the
Association, states that the account
will be used toward furnishing the li
brary. Discontinuance of Road Office Asked
Working through their attorney, S.
W. Stark, citizens of the county have
addressed a communication to the
county court, asking that the office of
road master, now filled by C. K. Mar
shall, be discontinued. In their declar
ation the citizens state that the sum
paid for the work of the supervision of
the road master is extravagant, since a
supervisor is supplied each district and
since the county has a competent en
gineer in Murray Kay.

iting the scattering of and thiowing of

pavements will soon be conudt ted,

wil be strictly enforced and its penalty,

ANNOUNCEMENT!
We find that the maintenace of the delivery service
is a greater expense than the business will justify arid
we have decided to discontinue it on and after July
15th. We believe that we are doing our full duty by
our customers when we bring the goods from Hood
River and sell them for virtually the same price as they
do there, without going further and delivering them in
to their homes. The expense of keeping up a delivery
outfit in the country is considerable greater than it
would be in town on account of rough roads and greater
mileage, and if this service were to be continued it would
be necessary to get a larger profit on our goods, which
would have the effect of driving much of our trade
elsewhere.
On account of the close financial conditions and the
burden which we are compelled to carry, it is absolute
ly necessary that we reduce our expenses as much as
possible, and this service will be discontinued indefinite
lyat least until condition are improved in several
respects.
