SWIMMING POOL
SITE IS SELECTED
A party consisting of Mayor Dumble.
members of the city council, members
of the recently appointed committee,
which is working to secure a municipal
swimming pool and a number of inter
ested citizens met early Tuesday on the
old city spring plot in the western part
of the town and inspected lots just be
low the old reservoir. A great deal of
interest is now being manifested in the
proposed municipal poul, and it is prob
able that such a place of recreation
will be constructed just below the old
reservoir. It is planned to have the
pool so built that the water from the
reservoir may be turned into it. As
soon as the pool is rilled the cold water
will be turned oft' and the water in the
swimming basin allowed to get warm.
Coming directly from the old reservoir
the water would be entirely too cold
for comfort.
The municipal swimming pool com
mittee has chosen a very appropriate
place for a swimimng pool for the boys
of the city. A very inexpensive pool
can be constructed at the city park.
The boys will have plenty of fun, and
yet here will not be the element of
danger ever prevailing, when they are
disporting themselves in the treacher
ous waters of the Columbia.
A Word About the Hood River Chorus
Hood River Chorus was organized in
the middle part of January of this year.
It was distinctly understood by all that
the organization was undenominational,
although the minister of the Riverside
church was chosen as director. The
outline of the work that the chorus was
to do was presented at the second
meeting of the chorus, and heartily
adopted. Chorus was to do progressive
work, beginning with anthems and
songs both religious and patriotic or
secular and gradually working up to
the standard oratorios like Mendels
sohn's Elijah.
The first of the public concerts which
consisted of a program of patriotic and
Colonial songs and anthems was given
February 22 to a large, appreciative
audience.
The second public concert which was
to have been given, according to a pre
vious plan, on March 29, was not given
on that date because of a request of the
U. B. church that wished to give a
musical concert on that date.
The chorus voted a change of date
and also, that the oratorio Emmanuel,
which the chorus was then rehearsing,
be given at a union meeting preferably,
the Sunday after Easter. Ihe director
has been laboring under the impression
that all churches knew of the plan of
the chorus and that each churcn accept
ed the invitation to the union service.
The churches, however, did not possess
such an official information until about
a week ago and therefore the projected
union meeting must be postponed.

Director Hood River Chorus.

Stanton Did Not Make Suggestions
It seems the idea is prevalent that
the resolutions submitted to voters for
approval on road plans were suggested
in part at least, by Judge Stanton. The
opposite is the 'truth. Judge Stanton,
on being asked by myself if a series of
suggestions regarding road work might
be looked upon with favor by the court,
replied that if such resolutions could he
submitted to the people so that they
could vote on them, yes or no, the court
would place much more faith in them
than if they were submitted in numer
ous petitions, many of the names on
petitions being written there because
of the friendship of the man presenting
the petition to the signer, when the
signer had not given serious thought to
the matter.
The idea of getting the suggestions
was one of the road committee of the
Commercial club. Of the committee
that drafted the resolutions but one is
a member of the Commercial club.
The club road committee and the direc
tors approved them as submitted, with
one addition, towit, No. 10 was added.

Grand Jury Recommends Jail Baths
The grand jury, the members of
which finished their work Tuesday af
ternoon, have recommended the instal
lation of sanitary lavatory and toilet in
the city prison. Such a recommenda
tion has been made by numerous grand
