LET US BEA UTLFY AND IMPROVE

Our little town needs but one thing to
make it superlatively beautiful, and that
is water for irrigating purposes. Our
supply of drinking water is large enough
when properly cared for to supply a city
OF three or four thousand, and by utiliz-
ing some of the other springs along the
hill, the supply could be increased three
or four fold, but for beautifying our
lawns and making the town what it
should be--a flower garden-we should
have large supply of cheap water.
Naturally enough, Indian creek suggests
itself, as its water could be brought in
cheaper than any other. The distance
is not more than mile, and the source
is high enough to allow of bringing the
water in well up on the hill, making it
available for all.
The right to take the water woald
have to be secured from the property
owners of Parkhurst, but as the dam
would be just the place for them to put
in their hydraulic rams, we do not think
any objection would be raised. How.
ever, should this plan not be successful,
the water can be brought in from Hood
river at no very great cost, and in un-
limited quantity.
With plenty Of water, this can be
made the most beautiful place in the
northwest. The soil is rich, The location
perfect, the big oaks neyer-ceasing
delight to the eye. The Blowers block,
with its green sward and bright flowers,
shows what the application of little
water will do, and there is no reason
why every block in the city should not
be as beautiful. Our town can be made
SO beautiful as to excite the admiration
OF all. and we are so situated that this
should be our chiefest desire.
Whatever our utilitarian resources
may be, we should not forget that we
have a place where people will come, !
not to make money, but to regain health
and to rest; to spend money, not to
make it. Every charm we add, eyery
attraction in the shape of verdure and
flowers, assists in deciding visitors to
come, and having seen and realized the
beauties and healthfulness of the place,
to return every summer to remain with
us. The water must be brought in, and
the sooner we take hold of it, the better
for all.

THE GAME Ia VS..

The citizens of this section of the
county are law-abiding in every respect,
and they propose seeing that those who
come here obey the laws. Last year
parties from The Dalles camped at
points in the valley, and committed
fiagrant violations of the game laws by
shooting grouse and pheasants long
before the law permitted it. In conse-
quence, when it became lawful to shoot
them, the few that had escaped were SO
wild they could not be approached.
This year the same thing has been COM
menced again, the offenders being Dalles
people. We now give them and all
others notice, that they will be watched,
and each and every violation of the law
will bring swift prosecution. We don't
want to see our visitors get into trouble,
and hence give this warning. We have
respected the law, and we propose to see
that all others do the same.

Questions for Farmers.

New York Times The Reform Club
is working even harder now than it did
last fall, and is spreading the doctrine
Of tariff reform broadcast. The farmers
are coming ia for the greater part OF the
clubs attention, for when they are led
to think, the effects OF the tariff upon
themselves are made clear and their
sympathy is gained for the cause Of re-
form. The club has devised plan that
will set the farmers to thinking. They
are interviewing agriculturalists in all
parts OF the country by means of printed
slips, asking a number of pertinent ques-
tions to the matter. The experiment
has been tried far enough to prove that
a very large number of the farmers will
send their opinions. When sufficient
ly large number of these are received
the club will have them condensed, tab
ulated and published. They will prove
very instructive reform literature. A
copy OF the questions is appended:
l. Are the farmers in your community
as prosperous as they have ever been?
2. If so, to what do they chiefly owe
tnelf prosperity III not, what has been
the chief reason Of the changer Leave
out Of consideration such temporary
causes as bad crop year and consider
the social and political causes.)
8. Do the farmers take less or more
interest than formerly in economic dis
cussions?
4. What effect does the tariff have on
their condition?
5. Win bushel Of whe It or barrel
of corn buy as many necessaries Of life
as it did thirty years ago?
g. Have they gained or lost social dig
nifty, as compared with other classes,
such as merchants and mechanics?
Z. Do farmers sons shew any less
willingness than formerly to become
farmers? If SO, why?
II you will write fuller answer to
these inquiries than this blank will hold,
it will be highly appreciated.
Please address your answers by mail
to the Reform Club, 12 East Thirty
third street, New York CITY, and a sum-
mary OF the answers received from every |
part of the country will be sent to you. |

an IMPORTANT DECISION

The suit OF the government against
Borthwick & Frame to recover the sum
of 100000, the alleged value of timber
cut from government lands by them
came up on demurrer before Justice
Allyn, of the second district Of Washing
ton territory, recently, and the demurrer
was sustained The points decided are
that the grant to the Northern Pacific, of
lands along the river, was a present
grant, and the title is therefore in the
railroad company until such time as the
government takes Steps to forfeit it.
That the government cannot therefore
maintain an action for trespass on said
lands. This decision will no doubt be
appealed from and will eventually go to
the United States Supreme court. It's
immediate effect is to allow the indis-
criminate cutting of timber on railroad
lands, without being responsible to any
one. The government can't prosecute
because the title is in the company, and
the Northern cannot bring an action be-
cause the right of property is not yet
theirs, nor are they in possession. Nor
can suit be brought by the government
for timber cut now, even should the
grant revert. All this. provided Judge
Allyn's decision is not overruled.

WHITE SALMON.


The White Salmon country is perhaps
the least known of any region along the
Columbia, and yet it has vast resources.
which in the near future will bring if
into prominence. The White Salmon
river which rises near Mt. Adams
empties into the Columbia directly oppo-
site here, and makes this the most
available railroad point. A good wagon
road is built to the Trout lake section
and many settlements have been made
Tor a distance Of forty miles back from
the Columbia. Near the head Of this
river is perhaps the finest body of white
pine on the coast, and it will be but a
short time until the lumber shipments
from this section will be large. Mr.. r.
u. Cameron, some time since, under
took to drive logs down the river. but a
disastrous jam in a narrow CANYON
caused him, temporarily at least. to
abandon the project. He is a man Of
untiring energy, thoroughly understands
the logging and river driving business.
and we predict will yet find way to
put this fine timber on the market. The
country also abounds in coal, fine vein
having been opened about twenty miles
from Trout lake by VIM. Chatfield. and
others, of Goldendale. This vein is sitn-
ated near the line of the proposed rail-
road from Vancouver to Pasco and viii
be valuable property The country
near the Columbia is we'll adapted for
raising fruit, the celebrated Jewett
nursery being situated near the mouth
oil the river. Outside of its business
possibilities this section contains MANY
attractions for parties desirous of spend
ing a few weeks in the mountains.
Trout lake is a Justly famous fishing
place, and the ice caves are a great at
traction. For the mountain climber
Adams is full of opportunities, and pre-
sents many difficulties not encountered
on Hood. Upon the completion of the
Vancouver and Pasco railroad it will be
but a short days drive from it to the
o. h. & N. here, and no doubt many
tourists will follow this route. Taken
altogether the future Of this whole sec
tion is of a roseate hue.

Yesterdays Oregonian says: Work is
well under way at the foot Of B street on
the repairs of the steamer WasCo, which
was successfully brought over the Cas-
eades recently by Port Captain J. W.
Troupe. 1t is the intention to take the
Wasco around to the sound, and the
present repairs are mainly for the pur-
pose OF having the vessel in thoroughly
seaworthy condition when she crosses
the Columbia bar outward bound. She
will be entirely stripped of her guards,
as the ill-fated Alaskan should have
been; to save the seas the trouble Of SO
doing. A false house will also be built
outside OF the old one to protect it from
the waves.

this point.

TEE splendid yield of grain this sum-
mer will stimulate our farmers, and
next year the acreage will probably be
doubled, The fact that the grain had to
be threshed with a fail or tramped out
with horses, heretofore, deferred farm
ers from sowing any large area, but now
that good threshing outfit has been
brought here this difficulty is removed.
1t takes some time to increase the acre
age as all the land requires some clear
ing, and some Of it is pretty heavily tim
bered, but the increase in all agricultural
products will be steady and rapid, until
the whole valley is under cultivation.

A Fishing Party.
UNION FAILS. June Is. j


UNION FALLS, June IS, 1889.
Editor GLAcIER
Messrs. O. D. Taylor, of The Dalles.
and P. G. Conklin, of Portland, made a
flying business trip to Union Falls,
where they met w. r. Winans and
others. Arriving an hour before dinner
they repaired to the famous fishing
grounds, whore Mr.. Taylor first declined
TO manipulets the rod, saying he
Couldn't fish much anyway. But when
he saw the success Of others he took a
hand, when the fun began, and the way
he took the scalps of the fnny tribe was
caution. Two men stood in readiness
to take the fish off his hook as he stood
too far out in the stream to handle them
himself. He caught fish, and while Mr..
Conklin did fairly well, Mr.. TAYLOR
broke the record. He was not heard to
swear any during the day, and that
accounts for his wonderful success,
although he no doubt would be willing
to affirm that he had rare sport. We
will not mention the number he caught.
as 1t might exceed the belief of those
who were not there, but will simply saw
that several Of the best ones measured
~ inches. When the party left for The
Dalles they were we'll pleased with what
they saw, and it was generally thought
that unless The Dalles had got another
boom since Mr.. Taylor left, he would
hardly stop off there, as the old town
wouldn't be big enough to hold him.

We WILL HAHE MILLS.

From present indications it is fair to
presume that dam will be put in the
river above the county bridge in the
very near future. Several parties are
interested in the scheme, and there is no
doubt but that it will be done. The vast
quantity of timber adjacent to the tribu.
taries of the river must find a market
and the river is the natural route for it
to find its way to the mills. Hood river
is an easy stream to drive, the only diff
Guilty being in holding the logs, as the
current is so swift that no boom will
hold them. The construction Of ad am
will do away with this. When this is
done large mill will be put in here,
giving employment to large number of
men. There is strong talk of building a
tume also, and 1891 will see both the
river and the fume at work hauling the
wealth of timber from the mountains to
this point.
