Receot Incidents and Personnel of Com­
mittees tor 1926 Indicate Lack
Of Unanimity for Year
I
At the meeting of the city council
Monday night Mayor Bennett made a
partial appointment of city officers for
19*26. 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

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.

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.

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

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.
