Farmers Take MANY Telephones.

The network of wires now being
strung along State street extends con-
siderable distance into the country,
where many farmers are taking advan-
tage Of the low rate for rural telephones
offered by the Pacific States Telephone
company. The company is taking con-
tracts for rental of Instruments at so
cents month, with an additional
charge of 81 month per mile pole and
line charge which is divided among all
the subscribers on line, limited to Is
phones. For four miles down the
state road there are ii subscribers,
which reduces the pole charges to 2Sh
cents. With 80 cents per month
for the instrument, this reduces the
charges to each customer on the state
road TO 7819 cents II month.
There are now four rural telephone
routes leading from town-one down
the state road, another out by Belmont,
third out south by Mount Hood ave
nue, and the fourth up the East Side.
There are now 48 rural telephones in
use, and the state road line will be in
operation in few days. j. II. Thatch-
er, who is here soliciting for his COM
pany, says all farmers contemplating
securing phones should apply for the
same Immediately, for when the pres
ent poles are filled the farmers will
have to stand the expense of building
their own line up to the city limits.
BY getting in on the present system all
present contracts are cancelled and the
rural charges substituted.
Some Is new telephones are being
put in, and the company expects 10
have subscribers for so more in a short
time. There are over 200 instruments
in use in town. These, taken with
those IN the country, give Hood River
almost as many telephones as the city
of The Dalles. The wires extend 80
miles, which, counting the return loop,
means that the company has 20 miles
of wire in the town and valley. The
continuous service requires five oper-
ators. A. Ingerman, in charge of the
line men, says Hood River, for its size,
is the best exchange in Oregon.

Memorial Day.

At the regular meeting of Candy

munication was received from Wau-
coma lodge, No. 80, X. of P, offering

the post and relief corps for memorial
services on Sunday May "a The post
committee of arrangements reported
that the trustees of the Congregational
church had also rendered to the COM
mittee the use of the church for that
occasion. 1t was the general wish OF
the comrades to have the memorial
services conducted in church, but
having good reason to believe that the
attendance on that day will be more
than any church in town will comfort
ably seat, the offer of the Knights was
accepted by unanimous vote, and the
thanks of the post rendered the trus-
tees of the Congregational church.
The following resolution was unan-
imously adopted by the w. r. c.:

the Congregational church, and the
members of the Waucoma lodge,
Knights of Pythias, have kindly and
generously rendered US the use of the
church and opera hall on Memorial
Sunday, therefore be it
Resolved, That we heartily thank
them for their c0nsiderate regard in

owing to the increase I'm population
and manifest interest. we gratefully ac-
cept the offer Of the opera house on ac-
count Of its greater seating capacity.
May all the churches, lodges, families
and individuals unite with us on that
occasion, and also on Memorial day,
and make this FESTIVAL of our dead"
of increasing interest.

The report that outside capital is to
put an irrigating system into Hood River
valley hasn't kept back improvements
on the part OF the present ditch compan-
les. Frank Davenport, president OF the
Valley Improvement company, says his
company has enlarged and strengthened
its main fumes and canals and is now
ready to turn in the water as soon as
needed. Some 81 200 was expended in
this work under the direction of Mark
Davenport. The company, says Mr.
Davenport, has sold 800 inches OF water
for this season, and the capacity of the
fiume is 100 inches. Next year, if the
people are ready to contract for more
water, the Valley Improvement COM
pany is ready to increase the capacity of
their system to 1900 inches. This can
be done at an expense OF about 5000.
"lf the people want more water we will
supply them with it, said Frank Dav-
enport to a Glacier man. "We will have
all the water needed for this years

COMFORT OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN.

Complaint of Tax Payer and Reply
of Superintendent.
A communication has been received
by the Morning News stating
that the play ground of the
Thirty-eighth Street School is
without shade trees or shade of any
kind. and expressing the fear that as.
according to the understanding of the
writer, the children are forced to spend
ness will result from their exposure
to the hot sun.
1t is suggested that the school au-
thorities should erect structures Of
some kind that will protect the child
rem. from the sun or else give them the
option, under instruction of their
parents of remaining in the building
or going on the shady side of it. the
sidewalk on the north side.
The writer also saks why the school
authorities extend the school term in
to the fiercest heat of summer, while
all other schools in the state close
their term at least two weeks before
that of the Savannah schools Is ended.
The attention of Supt. Otis Ashmore
was called to the communication. He
discussed freely the matters pointed
trees have been planted in the yard
of the Thirty-eight Street School but
as the school is a new one the trees
have not yet had time to become shade
trees, therefore the yard is without
shade. But this condition has been
brought to the attention of the Board
of Education and committee from
this body is now engaged in planning
for the erection of an awning. Ana
this will be put in position probably
within a day or two.
1.-The need of shade has not been felt
except during the last few days as the
weather prior to that time, except dur
ing rains, was mild enough to allow
the children the use of the yard with
out any danger to their health
In regard TO the second matter. that
Of making the children go into the yard
during recess, Mr.. Ashmore said that 1t
is customary TO require pupils to go out
of the building during recess, this be-
ing necessary that they may get the
beneait of fresh air, but that this rule
does not obtain during wet weather or
during hot weather.
Referring to the fact that the Savan-
nah schools close two weeks later than
those in other parts of the state, he
said, that this does not mean that the
school term Is longer but simply that
the Savannah schools open later than
the others do, and that this arrange.
merit was made to accommodate the
people themselves because a very large
number of them when spending the
summer out of the city do not return
until the latter part of September.
Under these circumstances it would
not be wise to open the schools until
the first of October, and when this is
done they must remain open the full
length of the term nine months So
far as the children are concerned, Mr..
AshTnore does not think they are tncon-
venienced during hot weather, as the
school rooms are large and well venti-
lated, and they are not crowded, so
that in many cases the children are
more comfortable in school than they
would be at home.

to charge operating expenses heavily
for generous maintenance expendi-
lures, and for expenditures for better
ment and Improvement. q
The policy, while strong in evidence
in the earnings Of all the Southern
railway roads, is shown very clearly in
the statement of the Central of Geor-
gia road The Central of Georgia, has
benedted to as great an extent from
the improved conditions as well as
from excellent management, as any OF
the Southern lines, as is shown by an
increase of some II per cent. in gross
earnings in 1902, and an increase in
gross earnings for nine months of the
current year of over II per cent, but
the extent to which this additional
income has been diverted to the opeF-
ating department. is indicated by the
fact that in the year ended June 30,
1901, the road was operated for SO per
cent of gross earnings, while in 1907.
the cost of operation was 71.3 per cent.
and in the nine months ended March
81, 1903, the operating ratio was "a per
cent.
The roads monthly statements of
earnings does not give details of oper-
ating expenses, but it is probable that
this increase in expenses is carried
on along the same lines as in 1902 and
