Appointees, all renamed, were a« follows : E. C. Smith, city attorney ; W. E. Hart, marshal; Dr. J. Edging ton, health officer, and Geo. Y. Mor rison. traffic officer. Tile personnel of council committees for 19*26 will t>e as follows: Judiciary, Stranahan, Frans and Richards ; fi nance, Richards, Young and Bonnlcb- sen ; streets and public property, Young, Snidthson and Sonnlcbsen ; fire and water, Smithson. Young and 8011- nlchsMrr health, Frans Stranahan and Richards, and police, Sonnichseu, Franz and Stranahan. Recent incidents in connection with appointments by Mayor Bennett and the iiereonnel of the new committee« indicates to the initiated, it Is said, that there 1« a lack of unanimity tn the council this year. At the flrst January meeting Mayor Bennett and Councilman Young had announe'ed a general new slate In the interest, it wa« «tated, of economy. The head of City MarsluiI Hart was iii dauger for a time, and- the resignation of City Water Superintendent Clark, who is also street com ml salon er and city en gineer, was colled for. Indeed, Mr. Clark tendered his resignation but the council as a whole did not agree with the program, apparently, and the res ignation was not accepted. While no announcement was made Monday night, it was «aid in after council talk thHt it Is now proposed to keep Mr. Clark in office without re- ap|>olntment—kind of on sufferance. Mr. Young was made chairman of the street * committee, in order that he might supervise the street commission er. Other members of the council, however, do not express themselves as entirely pleased with thé way matters are «haping up. and it is Mid that street work, before any work Is started, must have council authorisation. Indeed, there is an appearance that city council meetings may get to lie the merry events they were some 15 years ago. Perhaps citizens will begin to take a greater interest in niunclpal affairs and it may come about that a gratifying attendance of individual citl- sens may be noted at the semi-monthly gatherings of the city fathers. Heights cltiwns Monday night peti tioned the appointment of Jack Neal- elgh as night watchman for that sec tion. Anothe r petition had already been filed asking the reappointment of E. J. Hints. Ben R. Neblett pnsiented an applica tion for lease of the municipal auto park for three years. He proponed to construct new buildings and make other Improvements. His offer would allow the city 30 per cent of the rev enue for the first year. 32% per cent the second y<«r and 37% per cent for the third year. Mr. Neblett would ask for relmbur«en>ent for the buildings h«> might construct. His application was filed with other tenders of citi zens who wish to operate the auto camp. Mr. Neblett, who has been with tlie M II. 8. company for sons* time, came here from Pasco, where he was engaged in mercantile buslnew. He presented a letter of strong recom mendation from the Pasco Chamber of Commerce. Fay Dlnsnioof «nd utTiiqa nf the <»nk Grove district, on report of the fire and water committee, were granted per mission to ent a maximum of 20 cedar trees on property around the Tucker spring. A coat of 75 cento per tree will be assea«ed. A letter to Fire Marshal Morgan from State Fire Marshal W. M. Moore was read. Tbe state official commend ed the local fire depart ment for keep ing the fire loss down here the past year. UNION OIL COMPANY CONSTRUCTS PLANT C. L. Tootevin, sales manager for the Union Oil Co. for the territory com prised of southern Washlnton and Ore gon. was here Saturday in connection with construction of buildings for Ore gon's 43rd distributing plant for the company. A tract of ground, at the foot of InduMriai street and along the O.-W. it. A N. tracks, was purchased from J. F. Batchelder. Mr. Tostevin said the new plant., which will em ploy three to four men permanently, will las ready for occupancy In about 30 days. Storage tanks for 60,000 gallons of gasoline will be made avail able. The tanks will be constructed here. Crews of welders and riveters will come from Portland. Buildings for housing the Various iietrolram jmrts sold by the Union company and offices will be erected on the grounds. The gasoline will be pumped from the rail tracks and thence fed to tank trucks by gravity. Mr. Tostevin says it is the aim of the company to put the plant in charge of some young man who is known in Hood River. Mr. Tostevin was a former Hood River resident He is a brother of N. Y. Tostevin. The Union Oil Co. is the second largest distributor of petrolram parts in Oregon. The oil company secured the site for the new plant through the agency of C. N. Ravlin. KARASICK,TAKAHASHI WRESTLING WINNERS Fred Mortensen, Hood River’s Dura ble Dane, loat in a finish wrest Unit bout Mondsy night to Al Karasick, the Russian Hon. of Porttand. It was a fluke, however.Each of the wrestlers had a fall. Karaalck took the first in 31 minutes with his famous headlock. Mortensen put the Russian on the mat in 10 minutes in the second try with a head scissors and an arm lock. , *nie two men had gone at it hammer and tonga In the third bout. Blood was men from dirty wrestling. 1 try to «top 'them and they won't wrestle clean." The Russian went into the ropes fac ing the audience, Mortensen on bU back. Instead of waiting until the referee bad broken Karasick’s hold, Mortensen pulled backward. Karaalck fell on top of him and both of hls shoulders touched the mat. Karaslck's elbow had been planted in the Dane's stomach, knocking the wind out of him. Tbe referee gave tbe bout to Karaalck. The audience was stunned, uot be lieving that the match was over. It was inconceivable to them that the Durable Dane allowed himself to be led Into such a trap. The last bout test 11 minute«. Jon« and George Lester, local boy, furnished the one faU preliminary. Jones took It easily In 18 minutes with the airplane spin. A feature event of the evening was staged by Prof. Takahashi, Japanese jlu jitsu exponent of Beattie. I’fae Jap anese, without tiring himself, took two falls from Al Brown, of Minnesota. A. IatCbajM>llc was referee for the first two matches. The audience witnessing the bout was a record one for Hood River. More than 100 Japaneee ranchers were in the Rialto theatre to see their coun tryman down Brown. The Karaslck- Mortensen match attracted wrestling fans from all mld-Colutubia points. Prof. Takuliaalil was challenged by Jone« who stated that be had been accuHtomed to jiu jitau wrestling while residing for 18 months in Honolulu. H. Thorseuaen, Beattie lecturer on diet and physical culture, who was the Apple tXty's mystery throughout Mon day, took the stage after the prelim inary and Issued a challenge to the world for a wrestling match. He proved hls strength by taking a huge iron Imr and tying it into knot» as though it bad been a ribbon. For variety and action, no Oregon bout, according to fans who have fol lowed the game, was ever more Inter esting than that of Monday night. Ix>ng after the theatre was emptied, men gathered In knoto on atreet cor ners, holding ¡Mstt-mortem discuiMiona. They were at it from early until late Tuesday, *' Karaalck haa the knack of gaining tbe enmity of the crowd from the Mart. He studiously show« his offense at "boohs” His face work to as good as hls wrestling action. The main event Monday evening waa an admixture of a «lapping mtftch, wrestling and an oldtime logger»' free for all. The audience certainly got Its money’s worth. Everyone expressed delight with the presentation of Prof. Takahashi. The .la|*ane«e champion waa also pleased with Hood River. He said after the bout that he would b« gteu to return here and put on a fa«t bout. we will give the faua something sensa tional. After we have flnlahed with the real thing, we’ll put on the various hold« in alow motion." Mortensen finished the bout Monday night a victor in the eyes of the Hood River audience. He was cleaner than hta opponent, and frequently gave the Russian a chance to come back for an even break. Never was a rougher wrestler than Karaalck. He was up to some kind of rough, punishing stunt «•onstantly. Referee Jones frequently called him for bis dirty work. Mor tensen was rougher than In any former match, fighting the devil with fir«, he said. FUNERAL FOR MRS.
