Geo. T. Prather, of Hood River, was
in the city today, interviewing the
commissioners court with reference to ,
the construction of new bridge across ,
Hood river. Tho commissioners fav- ,
ored the proDosition, since the old |, :
bridge across the river just east of the S
town of Hood River has been declared !
unsafe, and it is past repair, SO new ,
bridge has become necessity. I
Within the past few day "a shares of q
stock in the Dalles, Portland & Astoria
Navigation Co., changed hands at Scots
on the dollar. The purchasers were M. 8
T. Nolan and J. T Peters, and it is the
wonder of everybody that they were
able to get the stock at such low fig
ure, since the company is doinga good
business which is continually increas-
ing.
The alarm about the fruit trees in ,
this section having been damaged by !
the cold spell in November appears to ,
be unfounded. During the week E. !;
Schanno inspected q number of or
chards in this vicinity and found only
the tender limbs of cherries and !,
prunes damaged. The injury is so r
slight that it will not affect next years
crop.
The water commission has been pro- q
vided with new register that will be F
most convenient. 1t is so arranged I,
that the account of every water con- a
sumer can be kept separate, there be- r
ing column on every page for the q
name of the consumer, the amount due a.
each month, and the amount of pay n
ments. The register will be kept open e
for inspection at all times, SO that any Z,
one can ascertain at any time the con- v
dition of the finances of the commits -
sion.
A rather unique deed was filed in b
the clerks Office today. 1t was deed N
granting title 20 half a block in the Ii
town of Dufur to the United Brethren ii
church, and in the deed was a covenant Il
that should the grantees sell, cause to o.
be sold or give away any intoxicating n
liquors on the premises, the land
shall revert to The grantors. 1t is
hardly presumed the church contem-
plates engaging in the liquor traffic, y
however the grantors took -alfprecau- VI
tion to forestall such an event. ID
A number of amendments to the city ,,
charter will be presented to the next q
session of the legislature, and will no |,
doubt be adopted. There is one how n
ever that has not yet been suggested. G.
that would be only just. That is pro- u
vision that all cross-walks be con- y
structed by the city, instead of by the n
property owners. If owners of prop =,
erty construct walks along their prem a.
ises that is sufficient tax upon them, n
but crosswalks, which are part of the 1,
streets, should be built by the city. ft
According to a celebrated anatomist Il
there are upwards of 5000, 900 little O
glands in the human stomach. These 81
glands pour out the digestive juices 81
which dissolve or digest the food. In Il
digestion is want of juice, weakness of n
