BIG SYSTEM NEEDS FUNDS A SrHM ELECTION IS CAUID East Fork Irrigation District ill Vote on Bund Issue and Question of Spec ial Levy While the big ditch, with the size of the main lateral greatly increased since last year, has been in excelllent work ing order and while for the main part the distribution of water has been good, still because of the increased de mand for water among the landowners whose places are under the big system it will be necessary to secure, either by special tax levy or by voting additional bonds, further funds, in order that the business of the East Fork Irrigation District may be properly administered next year. 'lhe great reason, apparently, for the increased demand conies from the fact that land owneis now have to pay for water, whether they make use of it or nut. Since they are charged for it, they are planting cover crops and are calling for their wajer. This de mand has resulted in an increased con struction uf small laterals, lhe in creased planting of cover crops, clov ers, alfalfa and grain, the gain in the dairy business and swine raising has all been instrumental in creating a demand or more water. On September 7. the date set by the board of directors, an election will be held in the live precincts of the District to determine whether an additional $50,000 bonds shall be voted. The prop erty owners will also vote on the prop osition of levying a special tax of $10,01)0 for the coming year. Geo. K. Wilbur, secretary and attor ney or the irrigation district, states that it will be necessary that the prop erty owners of the District to avail themselves of one or the other or the alternatives, vote both or face a deficit of $9,000 at the end of this year. under the existing law the district cannot vote a general tax greater than that of the preceding year plus six per cent. Such a tax would amount to $2.65 per acre, and would bring in a sum of $29.48.25. 'If we take care of our bond interest and the bare salaries of superintendent and gaugers next year, with the sum above mentioned, we woud have but $4,300 next year for every other ex pense. This sum will not be enough for bare maintenance. Thus we are bouni to have a dectiit next year without do ing a single foot of new work. Nor will any provision be made tor a lossi bis contingency of a washout or broken pipelines. lhe:S9,000 dehcit mentioned will con sist of $5,250 bond interest'and an es timated sum or $J,7uO tor the remain der of this year's maintenance. According to ihgurea procured rrom Mr. Wilbur, the tax levy of last year produced a sum of $27,000, of which $12,000 has been collected, and the bal ance will be collected in September. But that balance has been anticipated and regibtered warrants are at ptesent outstanding against it. At the beginning of last yeBr the board of directors deliberated as to how much fmoney they would spend on new construction. However, patrons of the system began to come to them in great numbers, urging that laterals be Limit and they decided on a policy of first come first served. The result was that a great deal more was spent on con struction than thev anticipated and had funds for. 'lhe tax levy of last year was not big enough. However, it was as large as the board of directors thought the peo ple would stand for. lhe dnectors hes itated about any large expenditure in view of the case brought by the Oregon Lumber Co. and then pending. Since the favorable decision by Judge brad shaw, giving them about 6,000 inches of water about which they have here tofore been in doubt, the directors have been given a greater degree of conn deuce, and while making no canvass in behalf of the proposed bond issue or the voting of a special tax, since some such course is necessary, they have made it Possible for the people them selves to vote the funds necessary for a successful administration and mainte nance of the District's affairs the com ing year. BILLY SUNDAY WILL POSITIVELY PLAY As the noted evangelist has pursued the sinner and saved him from a pros pective home within that country the clime of which one hesitates to contem plate, so have local fans been on th trail of Billy Sunday, and at last the former center fielder for the Chicago White Sox has been signed for a base ball game this afternoon, when local ministers will again put forth their prowess against that of the bankers Billv Sunday will positively be on th diamond at Columbia park at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon. He will play the nosition of eft field. Other post lions will for the most part be played as in the former banker-minister game when the former were defeated after comedy of errors by a score of 15 to 12. C. 11. Vaughan has sworn a vendetta on the goat of the ministes, and has vowed to cut more tally notches in his score Btick than Rev. Macnamara. Jim Rimmer is dreaming baseball If the bankers are defeated today will be more of a calamity for Mr. Rimmer than was Waterloo for the late uipII known Corsican. The proceeds of the game will be given to Mrs. Alma Howe to be used in local charitable work. CREAMERIES CAN- Discrimination in the price paid for cream by creameries of Uregon ia pro hibited by law. The local creamery has received the following communica tion, covering this point, from J Mickel. state dairy and food commi sioner: "I would respectfully call your atten tion to Section 1, Chapter 344, of the laws of 1915. in reference to the pur rhasine of milk and cream within the state of Oregon which reads as follow J 'Any person, firm ,er corporation engaged in the business of buying milk, cream or butter fat for the purpose of manufacture, either by himself or an other, who shall, with the intention of resting a monopoly, destroying the business of a competitor or restraining any manner an open competition in id business, discriminate between tne different sections, localities, corn- unities or cities of this state by pur- hasing or offering to purchase such commodity at a higher price in any one locality than is paid or ottered tor the me commodity by aucb person firm, corporation in an other locality after making due allowance or the difference, f any. in the grade or quality, and in the actual cost of transportation from the place of purchase to the place of anufacture, sale or storage, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and punished as hereinafter provided.' Me have been asked fur an expres sion as to our inirepreialion oi this section of the law, also what position we might be expected to take in regard to its enforcement In renlv In t hi misstinn I will hhv at this office will insist upon a atiict compliance with the law. It is our miino thitt where inv nerson. t rm nr rnrnnration tiuva mi k or cream ... I ui n.rtWpnt nnint within the state, the nrii'n fnr anrh mi lk or cream should he based upon quotation offered f. o. b. the creamery or, at the place of pur- hase minus the actual cost of trans portation to the place of manufacture. uompiainis nave reacnea mis onice that the law is being violated as fol lows: 'A' owns a creamery at New town and quotes a price of 29 cents per pound for butterfat f. o. b. his cream ery. 'B' has a creamery at Oldtown nd' pays 29 cents per pound for butter- at at his creamery. fA' goes over to fat BV territory and buys cream paying 29 cents per pound for butterfat and does not deduct therefrom the expense of gathering or of transportation to Newtown. This is clearly in violation of the law, as 'A la practicing dis crimination by paying more or fat at Uldtown than he does at Newtown. It niHkes no difference whether the means f transportation be by rail or wagon haul. Complaint has reached us that some creameries purchasing.butterfat where there la no competition, are grading cream and paying a dinerentiai iof lirst and second grades, while at other places. where there are competitiors, these same creameries are accepting 11 cream as first grade and pay for it accordingly. We conisder this practice so in violation of the law and will deal with it accordingly wherever we can obtain evidence to prove it. Cream that reaches the place of manufacture in such a condition that it cannot be made into a marketable food roduct without renovating or mixing with good cream will be deemed unlit for use and will be condemned. Under Section 7 of the same law very creamery, shipping station, milk factory, cheese factory, ice cream fac tory, coudensery, or any person receiv- ng or purchasing milk or cream on the basis of the butter fat contained there in, shall be required to hold a licei.se and also to employ a licensed tester. 'ARK PROPOSAL AROUSES PROTEST The proposed site of the civic com- mittee of the Commercial club to pro vide conveniences for traveling auto mobilists at the city park has aroused strong protests from residents in the district of the park. As an individual who resides close to the park," says Mrs. C. 11. Castner, 1 want to voice my protests. I do not think this is any place for such a park. 1 do not think people will want traveling motorists camped at their very back yards, nor do 1 believe this will appeal to the travelers." lhe city council, which on Monday received a communication from the commercial club relative to the use of the city park for autoBts, referred the communication to the public property committee for further investigation. lhe council members, while favoring the proposition in general, voiced a protest against making the city park vailable for such purposts. A move merit is on foot to beautify the park by the planting or shrubbery, and it is con sidered too small for the use suggested. SWlMMTNGPOOf ATTRACTS MANY Those who busied themselves in the campaign to obtain funds tor the swim ming pool that is now completed on the city park just weBt of Twelfth street must certainly have felt proud of the finished place of recreation as they watched the boys and girls sporting in the pool Sunday. From mid-morning until late in the evening, even until darkness settled down, the pool was full. Houses for both men and womon have been constructed beside the swimming pool. A spring board has been erected at the west end, where the water reaches a depth of nine feet. lhe swiming pool, indeed, ia now the scene oi mucn sare pleasure tor me small boys of the city. And many young sons from the valley are allowed to go swimming in its protected wa ters. OREGON LUMBER CO. HAS NEW I1IGIILINE The Oregon Lumber Co., which has completed a section of logging road in to the heavily timbered district along the Lake Branch and West Fork of Hood river, has installed a 2,200 feet highline for transporting logs cut on the west side of the West Fork of the river. Monster firs, felled in the for' est on the west bank are hauled over the heavy line to the railway. The line is about 400Ifeet above the stream. The Oregon Lumber Co. has a crew of about 175 men in the woods. "Our plant at Dee is kept busy this summer, says Chas. T. Early, gen eral manager of the company for Ore gon. "The lumber is being shipped, as fast as cut, fur construction work on the Ogden & Idaho electric line." Smith Grows Large Peaches W. L. Smith, of the Heights, hat ex hibited at the Glacier office the record peach of the year. It is of the Craw ford variety and weighs just exactly one pound, lhe diameter of the peach is four inches and it is 10 inches in J circumference. i SEIG BM FROM CHICAGO APPLE BITERS SAID TO BE BlUJSIl Export of Fruit will be Limited Because of War - Hood River Takes Honors at Green Fruit Exhibit "Apple men are just a little bullish at the present time," says Wilmer Sieg, who returned last Thursday night from Chicago, where he attended the annual convention of the International Apple Shippers' Association. "There is a spirit of optimism among the trade that is really running a little ahead of the general financial conditiona of the country." Mr- sie ' no' much is ex- pected irorn me export trade this year. radically the onr ijipmciius auruau in tv i J ii -1. w" K" u ig""u. n naiever irun reaches the Continent must go by way of Holland or into the Norfi Sea., and the risk and cost will be so great to prcciuuv must ui sui-n cargoes oi r pies. rrom the present outlook the New town market in England will be fair." be says. However, thia market must not be fed aa generounly as on former seasons, lhe British government baa ruled absolutely against reshipmenta from England to Holland porta or to th North Sea, and if the market ia glutted, the price will ilump, for there will be no way of unloading the excess fruit on the Continent aa on former years. Last year a good quantity of the apples shipped from Hood River to hngland were reshipped and ultimately found their way to German markets. We will have to take the chance of having our shipments to Kngland reach their destination in poor condition, if climatic conditions are unfavorable: for we will not be able to secure cold "torage space.

Any fruit that goes to neutral porta in neutral ships it lia ble to be delayed for inspection. We had trouble of thia kind last season." While many purchaaea of fruit are being reported from other districts, Hood River has told but 20 ears of early apples, the fruit to be chipped to South Amencan points. 1 notice that the growen of We- natchee," says Mr. Sieg, "who are not organixed aa we are here, where our Association, controlling large portion to the tonnage, ia able to put it to the markets gradually, are selling their fruit rapidly at from $1 to $1.25 per box. Because of the long delay in re ceiving poor returns lust season, this real money looks good to them now. But we here at Hood River are going to wait and read the market before we make any heavy sales." Mr. Sieg says that the pear market over the country it in rather poor con dition. "Large volumes or poor rruit are beginning to roll to central mar kets, he saya, "on account of a slump in the canning business. However, we are expecting Hood Kiver pears to bring in fair returns, for the fruit was never of better quality. Our Bartletts are now rolling. We have shipped out about five carloads. Mr. Sieg saya that Hood River grow ers sre to be congratulated on tneir local terimrial facilities. "I know of no district in the entire country that is better able to take care of ita product than Hood River," be says. "This feature appeals to me more forcefully every time 1 go away and see the con ditions of other districts. Hood Kiver with her enormous storage apace is able to hold her apples advantageously." Hood River green.fruit shown at tne convention by Mr. Sieg took second prize. The first prize went to Wsgnet & Co., of Wenatchee, who made a spe cial display. Hood River's prize waa really first in thedistrict claaa. Wenat chee, proper, won third prize, thus be ing second for the districts. CITY MAY NOT OWN STEAMBOAT LANDING It was brought out at Monday the night meeting of the city council that it was possible that the city did not have street property extending to the water line of the Columbia. On com plaints recently of some of the river boatmen, who claimed that competitors were endeavoring to monopolize wharf see space, the city ottered to grant to each of three lines a third of the front age of a street that was thought to penetrate to the water. Since an in vestigation of deeds, it seems thst the street does not reach the water's edge. The matter ia now in the hands of the city attorney, Geo. R. Wilbur, for a thorough investigation. 'TITCIlFW'lDilAN SEES C. R. HIGHWAY Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, the pitchfork orator from South Carolina, and party spent last Thursday viewing the scenes along the Columbia river higwhay. They arrived here Thursday afternoon by automobile and returned Friday morning on an O.-W. R. & N. train. Thursday night was spent nere at the Mount Hood hotel. The party consisted of Senator and Mrs. Tillman, Miss Tillman, a daughter of the sena tor: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hughes, his son-in-law and daughter, and two little daughters, and H. W. Hughes, all of Portland. 'Because of the long ride over the rough toad," said Senator Tillman Fri day morning, "we were pretty tired, but we are glad we took the journey ; for we will remember the Columbia river gorge. It ia the grandest stream I have ever seen. And you folks out here ought to be powerful proud of that highway." Senator and Mrs. Tillman, who have been on the Pacific coast for several weeks, and who have been spending a good share of that time with the family of their daughter, left Saturday on the return to South Carolina. 1 he journey east will be made by way of the Grand Trunk line through Canada.
