GRAMPS COCHRAN HERE ON DECEMBER 5 WILL HEAR WATERRIGHTS PROOF Another Chapter ia Adjudication of Hood River Water Shed Approaches Parkdale Meeting With a surviy of the entire water shed of the Hood River completed and after exhaustive testa and observations of hygraphic parties, Geo. T. Cochran, of La Grande, superintendent of the bastern Oregon Water Division, has announced that he will be here on Wednesday, December 5, to begin har- mg testimony of those wishing adjudi cation of rights to use of the waters Of the stream or its tributaries. Testi mony will be taken at Parkdale on the following day. The action of the water board in taking a survey of the tillable lands of the Hood River watershed follows a decision of the Supreme Court year before last in remanding the case of the uregon Liumber Company versus the East Fork Irrigation Disrtict, ap pealed by the plaintiff corporation from a decision of the late Judge W. L. Kradshaw. i be case involved the rights of waters to the East Fork of Hood River. It was cited in the Su preme Court decision that the one case mieht be followed bv numerous others. and the case was remanded to the Cir cuit Court with the instruction that testimony as to the rights of water in the entire watershed be taken, in order that final adjudication of the entire valley might be made. Affecting practically the entire $10, 000,000 assessed valuation of the val ley, no local litigation has ever created a keener interest. ' The Hood River postoffice force fully realized last week the magnitude of the task of affecting an adjudication of the rights to water of Hood River and its tributaries, for Friday and Sat urday the office has transmitted from Mr. Cochran 1,200 registered letters to valley land owners and patrons of irri gation systems, who are asked to pre sent certain proofs of the water rights at the meetings called here. Each registered letter required 14 cents in postage. The total postage was $16$. ' HOOD R1VER-M0SIER WORK IS EXPENSIVE One of the most expensive sections of the Columbia River Highway will be the six mile stretch between Hood River and Mosier. According to the estimate of the state highway engineer the cost of the proposed grading will be $352,000 or an average of $00,000 per mile. This is more than the cost of some sections in Multnomah county. , It is hardly fair though to make comparison with the Multnomah county work which was done three years ago when the cost of labor and material was much less than at present One great factor in the expense of the Hood River-Mosier work will be the fact that it lies close to the rail road and must be done with extreme caution to avoid injury to life and property. In places the road will have to be cut out of a rocky bluff above the railway track and only small blasts can be exploded. This makes the work extremely costly. Extra precautions will also need be taken. An extraor dinary example of modern highway en gineering is building the road around a rocky point projecting into the river and looking back on the rock above the mouth of the railway tunnel. Other rocky-points will be cut away and in places viaducts will be con structed where it will be dangerous to cut into slopes. The State Highway Commission will open bids for the work at its regular meeting this month. Owing to the fact that the work is mostly rock exca vation it ia expected that it can be prosecuted during the winter months. It is the desire of the State Highway Commission to have the grade finished by the first of next June. Four miles of the work will be in Hood River county and two miles in Wasco county. The estimated cost of the Hood River end is $213,094 and that of the Wasco end $190,230. Grading of the Highway in Hood River couaty between the Multnomah county boundary and Cascade Locks is pracucauy conipieieu, maniug it uubsi ble in a short time to open the High way aeain as far as Cascade Locks. On the section between Cascade Locks and Wyeth, where an entirely new grade is being made, three steam shovels are at work. It is expected to have all the earth excavation finished before the rainy season sets in. From a scenic stand point this section will be a surprise when it is opened up.

Brown, horticulturist of the ex periment station, that rrol. Oardner, of the Oregon Agricultural College, will he here soon to complete final ar rangements for the pruning school to be held in Hood River December 3 to 8 inclusive. A number of orchards in which demonstrations will be held are to be chosen .m cooperation with Mr Rrown. In discussing the subject Mr, Brown said that registration for this course is DrosressinK rapidly, although begun only five days ago. A few days more will probably see a full registration of 75 students, after which time no fur ther applications will be accepted. "This is a fact which we wish all to understand," says Mr. Brown. "We believe sufficient publication has been given to this fact, so that these tardy in filing applications will have no cause for complaint should they be unable to enroll. A number of applications have been received which have not been ac companied by the registration fee of $1. These positively will not be ac cepted until remittance is made. "The course as outlined covers a wide field, the lecture or laboratory work beine coordinated with practical demonstrations in the field. The grow er who doea not avail himself of this course wjll miss an opportunity rarely afforded growers here. Applications should be sent to G. G. Brown. We will appreciate offers made by grow ers to open their orchards for class work in practical demonstrations." FOOD PLEDGE CAM PAIGN SUCCESSFUL "The success of the Hood River food nledire mmnaiirn has been verv e rati fying." declared County School Super intendent ju is. uioson, nooa mver county food administrator Saturday night. "We have already received more than 1,500 signed cards. Excel lent work has been done by all school districts of the valley. In the follow ing districts every housewite has signed the pledges : Cacstde LockB, Viento, Wyeth, Central Val and Mid dle Valley." f Following- the "Four Mindte" speech es delivered at local electric theatres Saturday night by Ernest C Smith, city attorney, pledge cards were dis tributed. Many of them were turned in Bt the ticket windows for delivery to Prof. Gibson. East Barrett secured pledges from all families but one. The people in that family are out of the community temporarily. Dee will approximate 100 per cent. The canvassers there have worked log ging camps and Japanese homes, omit ting nothing. Hood Kiver has done well. J. U. McLaughlin and Mrs. W. F. Rand have had the work in charge and have gotten between 500 and 600 signatures. MONROE ASKS FOR AID ON HIGHWAY Geo. Monroe, prominent in affairs of the t'arkdale grange, the members of which were instrumental year beiore last in securing a fund for cutting to grade three miles of the mountain road, was here Monday endeavoring to stimulate a new interest in a highway connecting Upper Valley roads with the snowline of Mount Hood. "We have completed the survey of the road," says Mr; Monroe, "and have found that a route with a maxi mum grade of seven per cent can be secured. I suggest that the 'county court be asked to levy a half mill tax for the completion of the proposed road. Next year similar tax could be raised for work on a road to Lost Lake. If we get the moBt out of our invest ment in the Columbia River Highway, we- must make our scenic points ac cessible." H. R. H. S. WILL MEET THE DALLES FRIDAY Tomorrow the great annual football game between The Dalles and Hood River high schools will be played on Gibson Field. This game has become an annual affair, and is watched with great interest by everyone. The Dalles plans on bringing down a large crowd of loyal supporters, who regard this as their most important game. Hood River has one of the strongest teams in history, although they lost practi cally their whole line by graduation and enlistment. The team has been undefeated this season and will fight to the last ditch to hold this record. VINEGAR PLANT RUNS AT FULL SPEED With receiving bins stored full of the cull product and growers deliver ing many tons daily, the Hood River Apple vinegar km. has put on a nignt shift of men and is now crushing and pressing 50 tons of apples daily. Dur ing the rush of the delivery season last year, the big cider and vinegar plant was forced to stop receiving apples for several weeks because of lack of stor age space. With increased storage this season and the speeding up of operation, the plant's management states that growers win pe accommo dated throughout the season this year, Recipe for War Butter Mrs. R. E. Scott, who recently re turned from Indianapolis, brought back with her the following recipe for "War Butter," which Mr. Scott, pro nouncing it O. K., turns in that others mav learn of it : The butter is made from creamery butter and it yields two and one-fourth pounds for every pound oi butter used, To each pound of butter use one pint of rich milk ; one tablespoon of gela tine, one tablespoon of salt. Cream the butter as for cake (squeezing it through the hands.) Dissolve the gel atine (as for pudding) and stir until thoroughly mixed. When about hike warm warm as new milk pour slow ly over the creamed butter (to which has been added the salt) and beat with an egg beater until well mixed, smooth and thick. Take a spoon and ladle onto a plate, and as you do this each spoonful will set, piling up into firm butter." No Four Miirnte Speeches This Week E. C. Smith, chairman of the Four Minute Men, announces that no speech es will be made this week, such in structions having been received from national heaquarters. The four minute talks will be resumed next week at the electric theatres. Y. M. C A. DRIYIjf IS NEXT WEEK STAGE ALL SET FOR LOCAL WORK Visitors 'Give Stirring Addresses at Dinner Given by Butler-Team Captains are Named At a dinner given Friday night at the Mount Hood hotel by Leslie But ler, who has been made chairman of the Hood River county executive com mittee, to a score of the ministers, business and professional men of the city, an organization for next week 'a Y. M. lu. A. drive was perfected.' While Hood River county's quota had been tentatively placed at $1,000 by the central state committee, it was decided at this meeting to set the goal at $l,5UU. The dinner was attended by Dr. Frank Maples, pastor of the Congre gational church of The Dalles, and W. E. Wright, acting secretary of the rortiana i. m. u. a. uotn men de livered stirring addresses. Other members of the Y. M. C A. Drive Executive committee were named as follows: J. O. McLaughlin,' D. G. Cruikshank, E. C. Smith and Truman Butler. Mr. Cruikshank was made campaign manager. A publicity committee composed of Mr. Smith, Joe D. Thomison and R. B. Bennett, was appointed. The following cap-, tains of 10 soliciting teams wera named : J. W. Crites, J. M. Culbert son, E. O. Blanchar, Rev. H. L. HUt fon A W U;,fnA U A M.IVr.M . J. E. Ferguson, A. J. Brunquist, C. N Kavlin and J. H. Hazlett The Armv Y. M. C. A. work ia be ing done under the auspices of the fed eral government. It is proposed to raise a grand total of $35,000.000,, which, according to estimates, will be needed for the great work between Oc tober 1, 1917, to July 1, 1918. Millions will be spent in France lor work with United States troops where less than $300,000 was estimated in April as the probable expenditure 1 abroad this year. With coal at $60 a ton it will cost $750,000 to heat the American "Y" huts in France this winter. In this country 500 army buildings costing from $5,000 to $8,000 each will be erected as compared with the April estimate of 200 buildings at $3,000 each; 2,500 army secretaries will be iq the field by the end of the year instead of 1,000 as estimatd in April. Before the end of the third year of the war the people of Canada had contributed over $70,000,000 for patri otic funds. If he United States fol lows the lead of Canada in sacrificial giving and gives according to its popu lation and wealth, the people of this country will contribute $1,000,000,000 to patriotic funds. Montreal has con tributed over $11,000,000 in recent years to patriotic, philanthropic and charity funds. Its third patriotic funds totaled $4,376,000. A city that believes it has reached its limit in giv ing should compare its resources with Montreal. TIEMAN NIGHT CELE BRATION APPROACHES On next Sunday the Hood River Masonic lodge will hold the annual celebration of Tieman night in memory of Andrew H. Tieman, an early pioneer of the Mount Hood district who willed his entire fortune to the lodge for the construction of the local temple.

At the meetimr to follow the dinner. a number of addresses will be deliv ered, among them a speech by E. L. bmith. who will tell his reminiscences of Mr. Tieman, who was an early Mid- Columbia steamboat man. Ketiring from river traffic business he and L. M. Baldwin, another pioneer citizen of the valley, entered a partnership for developing a stock ranch in the Mount noou section. The chief address of the evening will be delivered by Cant. Geo. R. Wilbur, 12th Co., O. C. A., who will come up from Fort Canby for the occasion. Opening Program a Success The opening program of the music department of the Woman's club proved a treat to music lovers. Ml Bit Howes is a pianist of unusual ability and gave a program of varied numbers showing her versatility in interpreta tion and a thorough knowledge or her work. Mrs. Root assisted Miss Howes in her usual charming manner and the audience was entertained by a variety of songs evidencing the wide scope of her repertoire. Hood River people were again re minded by this pleasing program that they are fortunate in having such splendid talent in their midst. Tom Dobson has been secured for the next program of the department, which will be a benefit for the Red Cross. The date and program will be an nounced later.
