@. A. r. Eneampmeut. at Astorln.

From general orders from department
headquarters at Portland we CLEAN the
following in regard to the encampment
The 2lst annual encampment of this
department will be held at Astoria,
Oregon, on the 4th, 5th and 9th of June
next.
The department commander hopes
there will not only be full attendance
Of the delegates elected thereto, butthat
there will also be large attendance of
the comrades and their families from all
parts OF the state. Our comrades at
Astoria are making ample arrangements
for the accommodation and entertain
ment of all who attend, and will give
them hearty welcome and an enjoyable
time.
At o'clock p. m. Wednesday. June
4th, the annual parade will take place.
In the afternoon of Thursday the Grand
Army and its kindred organizations will
participate in the entertainment pro-
vided by Gushing post for the visiting
comrades and all attending the several
meetings. A public reception will be
held, to be followed by banquet and a
camp fire, Thursday evening.
The encampment will adjourn Friday
evening in ample time for the evening
train and boats.
Reduced fares upon transportation
lines have been asked for, and as soon
as known will be published IfHis safe,
however, to say that they will be the
same as heretofore, namely, one and
one-third full fares for the round trip to
Astoria.
Capt J. P. Shaw, of Lincoln-Garfed
post, No. 3, is hereby detailed as acting
assistant adjutant general, to serve as
such during the sessions OF the encamp-
ment.

Regulator Line Sold.

A deal has been on hand for several
days for the purchase of the D. P an Co.'S
holdings by the Columbia Rivera North
ern Railway Company, which is build
ing the railroad from Lyle to Goldendale.
AT meeting Of the stockholders yester-
day afternoon the offer OF the company
was virtually accepted at 1925 share,
though the deal will not be consumated
for perhaps week The original stock
was 800 share, and the stockholders
felt it was to their advantage to dis
pose Of the line now before the extra
competition was put in by the purchas-
ers, as they intended to place a new
line of boats on the river.
We understand the name will be re-
tanned and the line run independently
as at present. Also that w. G. Allaway
will be retained as general agent. Had
the new company done otherwise they
would have stood in their own light, for
more competent. capable man for the
position could not be found. 1t will be
satisfaction to our people that he is to
remain
Dalles people will feel regret at hav-
ing their line 60 into thehands OF strang-
ers, for coming to us as it did, friend
in need, we have grown to claim it as
our own and value it as such. 1t has
been regulator line in every sense OF
the word and regulated freight and pas
senger rates until they were completely
cut in two.
The Regulator was also a native OF
The Dalles, being built at the foot OF
Washington street and launched in June,
1891. Its trial trip was made on Sep
tember 10th and the first regular trip on
the lst of October
Therefore in parting with the Regu-
lator line Dalles people feel they have
lost an old friend. However, we will
welcome the new company and wish
them well.-Dalles Chronicle.

BeF. Snyder went to Portland Tues
day and pleaded guilty in Judge Bellin-
gers court to having attempted to Sc
cure a pension under the name of Rich
d NJ. Hunt.
The indictment was read, the grand
jury finding against Snyder on three
different counts. He was asked his plea
aud he replied that he would plead
guilty to using false name, but not to
having any intention of defrauding the
government.
Judge Bellinger stated that because of
the recommendation of the grand Jury
and the UnitedStates district attorney,
he would be lenient and impose the
minimum penalty, 81 900 fine. Snyder
has no money with which to pay the
fine, but after remaining in the county
Jail for 80 days, can plead the pauper
act, and will then be liberated.
Snyder has good army record and
may yet receive a pension under his true
name.

A Sewer Needed.

Hood River April %, l9O2.-Editor
Glacier Now that the water question
is prominently before the public and lis
being vigorously discussed pro and con, it
seems to me to be propitious time to
bring up the question Of maintaining the
presertsupply pure and uncontaminated.
There is no question as to where the
source of the supply comes from that
fills the springs supplying our city with
water 1t is the great grand basin lying
north of Indian creek and south of the
spring heads referred to and which dis
trict is beingrapidly covered with dwell
lings, barns, stores, etc. Seepage from
the cesspools ,outhouses and stables will
very soon find its way down and contain
mate the water supply, bringing all Of
the questionable blessings attendant
upon the use of impure water-such as
diphtheria, typhoid, etc. As the soil in
the region referred to is only from two
to four feet in deepth before reaching the
gravel beds, and the gravel deposit from
20 to 60 feet above the water lead, it
must be apparent to any one that good
healthy cesspool we'll worked will reach
and pollute the water supply in a very
short time. Now the remedy or pre-
vention Of this trouble is neither expen-
sive nor difficult, Natural grade Of the
land ard its sandy character makes it
an ideal section for sewer system. This
sewer could be turned into Indian creek
and all danger from contaminated water
supply ayerted. 1t occurs to me that
this matter is up to the citizens of Hood
River in such shape that it demands
their immediate attention and our
council sl1odld acton thefquestion with
out DELAY. He. Cor.

The Question Of Fire Protection.

Hood River, April 80, l902.-Editor
Glacier; For the benefit Of the taxpay-
ers of Hood River wish to say that l
have consulted an attorney IN regard to
the proposed ordinance that is now be-
fore the council, granting franchise to
the Hood River Electric Light and Power
Co. for six years, and he calls my atten-
ton to sections 80 and "a, pages ii and
Is OF city charter, and as only a limited
number of our citizens have copies of
the charter, | copy the exact language
of said sections, bearing on the subject,
which is as follows:
Sec 80. "To grant the privilege of
franchise of furnishing water and light
ing the streets to any person or persons,
or corporation, upon such terms and
conditions as may be just; bit no such
grant or franchise shat be ercltSiUe, or
shall prohibit the council from granting
similar privileges or franchises to others.
"a. "To fix a maximum rate of wharf
age. rates for gas or other lights, for
carrying passengers on street railways,
and water rates; and the city OF Hood
River shall never deprive itself of the
right through its common council, of
regulating and adjusting any such rates
so that the same shall be reasonable for
the services rendered, at least once in
any period of two years.
There is no question that this proposed
franchise is exclusive. If it is not, why
are certain reservations made in il? ANY
reservation would be supertluous in
franchise that was not intended to be
exclusive.
Again, it conflicts with the charter in
that it provides for a six year contract.
which certainly conflicts with section "a
quoted above. In conclusion will say it
is so evident that this ordinance is in
conflict with the charter, which is the
constitution of our city, that counsel ad-
vises it would be void and of no effect il
passed. | have lengthy opinion from
the attorney, which | will publish later,
touching on all parts of the proposed
ordinance. So much for the legal as
pect OF this matter. Now from a moral
stand point is it just for taxpayers in
the residence portion Of the town to paw
for fire protection for a few business
men, and from a business stand point, is
1t good proposition 10 pay TO this COM
pany the sum of $3.50 year, or $4.536
for six years for water to be used for
fire purposes onlye Ii the city pays for
water it should certainly have the right
to use it for flushing sewers, of any 9TH
er necessary use. consider a sewerage
system the most important question be-
fore the people OF this town today. Tax
payers will notice that the proposed or
dinanoe cuts off all these privileges.
There is another company standing
ne dy at any moment to furnish this
town water for fire protection, absolutely
free Of charge, and they are willing to
put up bond 10 be forfeited in case
they TAIL to put in a supply of water
that will be acceptable to fire insurance
companies.
To be continued.

Assessor Schmidt.

Hood River, apr. SO, 1902. Editor
Glacier: 1t might perhaps properly be
said that am quite presumptuous to
thus publicly criticise the policy and
services OF our Assessor @. L. Schmidt;
but plead as an excuse the unealled
for and severe arraignment of our Dep
uty Assessor M. H. Nickelsen, former
county judges, and "the majority of the
taxpayers" given publicity through Mr..
Schmidt's letter in your last issue. In
this community it does not require the
endorsement OF Messrs Gilbert, Evans
or even that of Mr. Schmidt to establish
the fact OF Mr.. Nickelsen's integrity in
every attribute of thecharacter ola good
citizen. Doubtless, too, the former
county judges we're influenced to great
extent by the financial condition of the
taxpayers, and were possessed Of suffi-
cient intelligence to recognize the evil
effects too burdensome taxation would
have upon the future development OF
the county, condition which now, as
they evidently foresaw, is rapidly pas
sing away, enabling us at this time to
easily bear burden of taxation that in
those earlier years would have been
overwhelming. These facts the great
mind OF our assessor seems to have
failed to grasp. 1t is true that all men
embody in their natures inherent weak
nesses. This may be selfishness in some
and in others egotism, and yetin others,
ignorance, if this may be called weak
ness; and while it is true that once in a
while man may be found whose selfish
ness preponderates his sense of justice
and honesty, that "the majority OF the
taxpayers OF Hood River and the val-
ley are so afflicted | fatty deny and
challenge Mr.. Schmidt to furnish proof.
So much for our weaknesses and faults,
let us look at our friend Schmidt When
find man who arraigns judges, Off
GERS and "the majority Of the taxpayers"
OF any county or community in one
sweeping denunciation, think certainly
there's something rotten in Denmark. P"
When | see this man in great travail of
soul over the wrongs of one class of his
constituents, with the power in his hand
to alleviate the distress without injury
to the others; yet, from his throne as
despotic as the czar Of Russia, arbitrarily
double or treble the burden on the necks
of few selected victims in order to
tighten the loads of the others, and this
without any apparent regard to the
property value OF the victim, | wonder
whether the weakness of this man is ig-
noranee or vindictiveness, whether he
knew no better or was trying to get even
for some fancied slight or wrong. We
do - and notwithstanding my hum
BILE, insignificant station in the COM
munity-I take pleasure and pride in
affirming that we as community de-
sire to pay our full share Of our county's S
taxes. Very few, if any o.. our citizens
would evade them, our worthy assessor
to the contrary, nevertheless; but we
don't like this 'monkeying' and on
election day we hope to sing to Mr..
Schmidt the old song he probably often
heard in his youth, beginning:
Du blst verecht mine kind,
Du musZt noch Berlin;
Wo die verechtnet sind,
Da du geszt zu hin.
