Section 8. All ordinances and parts OF
ordinances in conflict herewith are here
by repealed.
Mr.. Smith supported the ordinance,
but said it would be left with the people
of the town TO say whether it should be
adopted or not
Rev. j. w. Rigby favored the ordi-
nance as read, believing it the best that
could be done towards prohibition.
Rev. Frank spaulding made the
speech OF the evening in opposition to
the ordinance. He believed the present
town ordinance touching the liquor
traffic was strong enough and could be
enforced under the laws, and in this be-
lief he was supported by what he con-
sidered better legal talent than the pros
ecuting attorney Mr.. Spaulding claim
ed that passing the ordinance would not
prevent the saloon from running wide
open as it is today without paying
town license.
Mrs. Julia Knapp spoke in opposition
to the ordinance.
Alderman Clyde T. Bonney spoke in
opposition. He said he had good legal
authority for saying the present ordi-
nance was effective. He would vote
against the ordinance drawn by Mr..
Jayne.
b. B. Hartley said he knew Of minor
who had procured drinks Of whisky at
FewePs saloon, and the boy was ready
to testify to the same. He had reported
the matter to the mayor, and the mayor
had reported to the prosecuting attorney.
Mayor Smith then read letter from
the prosecuting attorney stating that for
the offense of selling liquor to minor
Mr.. Fewel could be prosecuted under
the laws OF the state, and that as soon
as he could get around to it he would
come TO Hood River and investigate the
matter.
Capt. Blowers, member of the coun-
ell, gave his reasons, as temperance
man, for favoring the license ordinance.
The discussion was participated in by
others, among whom were Rev. J. l..
Hershner, Mrs. +. l.. Smith, ii. +. Da-
wilson, Judge Henry, Geo 7. Crowell,
S. +. Bartmess, Rev. Il. E. Fix, S. j.

No vote was taken, and after a song
by the audience the meeting was dis
missed.
alderman Bonney went to The Dalles
Tuesday evening and at his own ex-
pense employed attorneys to look into
the legality of our prohibitory ordinance.
The attorneys agreed with Mr.. Jayne in
their opinion. Mr.. Bonney now ac-
knowledges that he was in error in TAX
ing the stand he did, and says he will
vote for the license ordinance with
proper amer dments. s.-ED.l

Philippines there was an understand
ing between Capt Buchan and his
sweetheart, Miss Lucinda H. Smith, Of
Lawrence, Kan. Separation was more
than the two could stand, so with the
exchange of letters came a dotermlna-
ton to join their lot in the fortunes Of
war.
They were married and the young
bride followed her soldier husband to
San Francisco. Here the first cloud fell
across their honeymoon. The officers
were not permitted to have the COM
pany of their wives on the transports
and separation seemed inevitable. But
the Kansas girl had pluck. With the
wife Of another officer, Col. Fred Fun
ston, she became a stowaway on the
Indiana, and although the Government
tried to prevent it she journeyed as far
as Honolulu on the way to Manila be-
fore she was parted from her husband
Though compelled to leave the trans
port, she followed Capt. Buchan with
in a few days on the regular steamer
and shared his lot up to the time OF her
death.

been ascertained that 400 hairs to the
square inch grow upon the head Of a
blonde beauty. The brown comes next
with $50, then come the black with 325,
and the red with go or 260. After
counting the hairs growing on an inch

Although strawberry plants win not
thrive where the soil is permanently
wet. they do require abundant mols-
ture both during the growing and
fruiting seasons. The non-observance
of this requirement is the occasion Of
heavy losses. In the first place, the
ground for strawberries is often left
until planting time before blowing, and
breaks up in clods, occasioning much
labor in preparation with harrow and
roller. Although it may be possible to
nut such a soil into fairly good condi-
ton for planting, the water which has
been lost cannot be restored, and weeks
may elapse before sufficient rain falls
to keep the plants alive.
1t has been shown that more than
1900 barrels Of water per acre may
escape from unplowed ground in one
week in excess Of the quality which

Good tillage increases the available

spring until July or August.
