ody and water.

Moody and water.
Water are you giving us9
Water or no water, that is the question
Water or no water, that is the issu
tonight and Monday.
There will be no question discussed un
til after Monday night but water. Gu
people are dry.
Mr.. Allehoff and family left on yester-
day mornings train for Portland, where
they go to reside.
Mr.. Robert Mays, Jr, who has been
visiting in the city for the past week, left
to-day for his home at Antelope.
| Another lot of excursionists visited the
city last evening. They thoroughly exam.
ined everything within the environs of the
city.
Pumping means good water for our fami-
| lies, protection for our homes. The opposi-
tion means paying revenue to Portland and
her capitalists.
Moody has placed himself squarely on
record in favor of city water. Give the
boy chance to redeem his promises. He
has no atfiliation with any of the present
owners of The Dalles water works.
Pumping from the Columbia river
means water at an early day. Buying
the old company out, means no new sys-
tenn of water works for number of years !;
perhaps not at all.
A reception was given the graduating
class at the residence of Mr.. w. A. Nc
Farland, in this city last evening. A very
pleasant and agreeable time was had, and
all enjoyed themselves,
Several hundred soldiers passed through
the city to-day en- route to Walla Walla.
These were members of the fourth cav
airy from Vancouver, Wash, and were
transferred to Walla Walla and C9ur
d'Alcne.
Any opposition 20 Moody is opposition
to the most available candidate the friends
of city water have. He is on record in
favor of an immediate supply, and those
opposed to him are in favor of still being
ruled by the Portland syndicate.
Mr.. VIM. F. Dugan, representing
Dugan Bros, hydraulic engineers of Sa-
lem, Or, is in the city. He has been
examining our sources of water supply,
and the distance to be pumped and piped
before putting in bid TO put In the
same. Mr.. Dugan has put the pumps in
operation in Baker City, and understands
the business.
Lexington Budget: Rain is badly needed
in some localities In this county. While
many fields are still in the bes. of condi-
tion, there are others that are already
burned in spots. As general thing little
club is of short growth, though the heads
are good, and a shower would cause an ay-
erage yield. Blue stem shows up better. |
The opinion prevails that an immediate rain
is necessary for full crop.
Hood River Glacier: P. Fl. Preston, the |
head sawyer in Stoddard's upper mill, met |
with an accident Thursday morning which |
will lay him up for some time. The saw,
had been heating and he was feeling to find |
where it was hot, when the motion of the |
saw drew his hand in between it and the |
guide. The palm of his hand was burned |
and lacerated and the back torn and bruised
by the guide. He had been at work only
short time coming here from Salem last
Monday. He took yesterday afternoons
for home.
Hood River GLACIER: James Langille left
yesterday for Cloud Cap Inn, where he will
begin the erection of a number of cottages.
Their completion will double the capacity
Of the hotel, and no doubt more yet will be
required. From present information there
will be large number of visitors at the Inn
during the summer. Mr.. Adams has the
road about cleared, except mile near the
hotel, which is yet covered with snow drifts
TO sach an extent as to prevent the passing
Of stages. The hotel will be opened next
week even should the last mile have to be
travelled on horseback.
