Event, Staging Ellison-White Attractions To Begin June 5 at Citj Park's Open Air Theatre The next event of importance coming Hood River way, leaving aside for a moment the Glorious Fourth, which 111 really be the opening function of Chautauqua week, is the annual Chau tauqua, staging Ellison-White attrac tions at the open air theatre in toe city park, made famous by the local cnau tauqua Association, which began its activities in Woodwortb park, in the Upper Valley and later transferring them to the city. The Ellison-White Chautauqua company is one of the fore most in the eountry, and its concerts, lectures and amusement programs are high class. The merit of the Ellison-White com pany 'a program are well illustrated by a story that was recently told by Henry Serr. of the Hotel Oregon, formerly proprietor of the Hotel Gail at Dallas. we had a man in our town," says r. Serr. "Who was noted xar ana near for bis parsimony. (Mr. Serr did not divulge the name.) He owned a large portion ol the Dusiness nouses, ana oe had not been known ever to even take a glass of beer at the saloon of the man who paid him a mighty big rent for a corner room in one of bis buildings. 1 just mention that to show what kind of a man ne was.

The Ions drawn out season of berry harvest, the maturity of the fruit hav ing been delayed by cool weather, naa made it necessary for the city council to maintain longer than usual the spe cial police service provided for the protection of the Heights residence and business sections. Allen Hart, special policeman, has been retained by the council, for an additional two weeks. Acting on a petition of residents or Columbia street, wno asked for the installation of a two inch water main, the council instructed the fire and water committee to ascertain how many of the petitioners would be will ing to pay the cost of tapping the new line. The council accepted a report of the fire and water committee to Klve bet ter water aervice to the residents of the Winans addition.

On former years the Hood Kivar Chautauqua haa been one of the unique features ol tne community, an per formances having been given mostly by the musical and dramatic talent of the valley ganixed within a few days in the city and valley. "I am ready." says J. B. canneid. former Indiana guardsman. "Hood River can send out a company on a verv short notice. I think." saya Dr. F. C. Brosius, who holds the rank of major in the Oregon medical reserve corps. Dr. brosius served as captain in the medical reserve in tne rnuip nines during the Spanish-American war. Because of the critical Mexican situ ation and the ordera of mobilisation is meeting no competition. The sale was made because Robbins & Co. had confi dence in Hood River and White Salmon and because they knew that the salea organizations practically controlled the output of the two districts and would thus eliminate irregular ana illegiti mate competition. This deal shows what can be done under cooperative organization, and it insures Hood River and White salmon proper vaiuea aa long as organization is maintained. Yet our deal ia surrounded oy sued to the National Guard, a militant great deal of sensitive conditions. Cut spirit haa pervaded Hood River and much talk has been heard of the local organization of a company of troops. "On former occasions tne organiza tion of a company of the National Guard haa been proposed," says Geo. R. Wilbur, "but nothing detinue -waa ever done, because we thought we would be unable to carry out our plana. Under existing conditions, our ends might be accomplished." PORTLAND-GOTHAM HIKERS IN THE CITY throat competition cannot injure us this year, but if the Dakota market is broken this year, we may rest assured that we will not get the cream of the commission firm's business another season." Mr. Sieg states that the last asser tion is made because of the fact that during the past several days interests hostile to the sales organizations and the purchasers of the berries have been offering affiliated growera rewards of higher prices to break their contracts with the aales organiaztion. Mr. Sieg, while he will not name them, declares that the offers are made by outaide influences. LITTLE JOURNEYS IN THE MID-COLUMBIA Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Norris and little daughter.
