for so small an issue speaks very high
ly of Hood River’s municipal credit.
Monday night was a busy one for
the, city fathers, many bum LI matters
l>eing attended to. A. petition egme in
to have something done with tin* water
standing on Hull street. The city will
reduce the amount of water or per
haps the section may be declared a

stalled.
A communication from Dr. Stricker,
of the state health board, was read,
and the council voted to place our city
in the first class as to health condi-
t ion*.
Various reports wyrp received, among
them an interesting one from the fire
mandial. During IkMvmber only two
alarm# were tamed in and in neither
instance was the damage more than
a few dollars. A noticeable feature
was that although cunditions were fa
vorable, not a single fire was reported
to mar tbe Christmas holidays.
A committee of West Side orchard-
ista with 8. G. Oxborrow aa spokes
man, visited the council, requesting an
expression from the body in regards to
tbe proposed West Side market road
through the Paradise acreage. The
matter was discussed at some length,
atid it was decid<<d that the street
committee secure further rights-of-
way prices and tbe counril meet with
the county court in an endeavor to
get together on the pro|s*sitlon.
A committee from the Heights came
before the aiderman asking police pro
tection for their section. They cited
instances of robberies and attempted
robberies, stating that they felt they
were Badly in need of police service
at night. The council instructed the
police committee to give the matter
attention and endeavor to give the
Heights section some manner of night
protection. E. A. Sparks, Ray Sam
uel and B. L. Van Ciaa presented the
Councilman Young stated that the
old fire bell tower was becoming a
menace inasmuch as it was frequently
run into by autoa and suggested that
the bell be transferred to the city hall.
He declared that the lot should be
cleaned up and used for the city equip
ment which- la scattered. The sugges
tion seemed to meet with approval and
the matter waa referred to the proper
committee for action.
It was unanimously voted that the
city go on record as favoring the
bridge road going under the O.-W. R.
4 N. bridge, and that the county court
be apprised of this fact and requested
to consider this road.
W. L. Clark, city engtneer and water
supervisor, tendered hi* resignation,
but the councilmen voted not to accept
the resij¡snatlog. They also voted to
buy the lighting apparatu* used oa the
community Christmas tree, the belief
being expressed that another tree
would be in evidence next Christmas
time.
Ond of the most Interesting wrest-
I ling card* ever staged here was put on
I at the K. of P. hall Saturday night.
I Despite the-fact that 100 ticket* were
I refunded to Japanese a good crowd
I waa present and it wasn't long until
I it was about the most enthusiastic
I crowd imaginable. The match was
I to have been of three event*, any
I <>ne of them headliner*, but almost at
I the last moment Prof. Takahashi.
I champion jlu jltsu wrestler, wired,
I "Sorj-y. Cnable to come. Pardon me."
I He waa matched with John McKenxie.
I of Oakland, and bad agreed to explain
Jlu Jltau wrestling to the fan*. The
Japanese contingency is not at *11
pleased with tbe professor's renigging.
I and have written him urging an earlf
I match here. It ie expected that he
will lie seen here soon.
Henry Jones, of Provo, Utah, welter
weight world champion, reckoned with
out his host when he agreed to throw
any three men of his clans within an
hour. Jones is a good man, and Fri
day night had defeated Robin Reed at
Albany. However, Al Brown, of Tex
as. who met him first, waa made of
India rubber, ana it took Jones 43
minute* to put him on the mat. Jone*
got several dandy holds, but Brown
appeared not to have a bone in his
body and would wriggle out. Jonea
dually got him with a toe hold. It
[was a wicked toe hold, too. Both men
were fast workers. George Lester was
second on the mat and Jone* went
after him with a determination, but
Tweeter was a surprise to everyone,
showing more strength than it was
thought he possessed. He was not
aggressive, a* waa Jonea, but he sure
had the staying power and was still
unbeaten at the end of the hour limit
Young Lester is a former boxer and
gives promise as a future wrestler,
with further training. Thia three-man
liout was promoted by Art I m Chapelle,
former welterweight champion of Can
ada. who waa to have been third man.
| but owing to Lester’* Maying qualities
is still looking for a bout.
The big event waa tbe match between
Rood River’* Durable Dane, Fred Mor
tensen.
Rill Thornton, of Vancou
ver, light* heavyweight champion of
Canada. Thornton is ■ clean wrestler,
and it was a pleasure to see him work
with Mortanssih who has the reputa
tion of being one of tbe cleanest sjxirt*
on the Pacific coast. Mortensen sur
prised even his most enthusiastic back
ers, coming through with quick action
and good holds. Thornton wss equally
