or for the Irrigation Convention.

Four Hood River delegates-Frank
Davenport, Aud Winans, Hon. f. l..
Smith and L. n. Blythe Of the Glacier
joined the Portland delegation Sunday
night bound for Ogden, Utah, to attend
the sessions of the National Irrigation
congress which convened Tuesday
morning in that city and ends tomor-
row, Friday. Hood River should be
thus as well represented as any part of
Oregon. 1t is interesting to note in
this matter that according to the num-
Der of farms in Hood River valley, there
is a greater per cent of people making
use of artificial irrigation than any 9TH
er section of the state, and perhaps the
whole Northwest. Frank Davenport es-
Inmates that 70 per cent of Hood River
farmers grow crops by irrigation.

Additional Teacher is Secured

Miss Edna Groves of Corvallis took
charge of 35 pupils in the second room
OF the State street school house Monday
morning. This makes eight teachers
now in the Hood River schools, with an
enrolment of 346 pupils. Miss Schun-
gels room is over-crowded with 81 pu-
pills, but it will be impossible to relieve
the congestion until a subdivision ol
classes is made in the middle of the
term. There are 20 pupils in the State
street school. Forty new seats were
ordered.
The proposition is before the directors
of securing ground for school building
on the hill, and the board is considering
some property in Clark's addition. A
school house on the hill is a growing
necessity, as large number of pupils
come in from the country.

How Should We Work!

HOW Sh0niu we NOfks
How should we work? With our hands and
our hearts,
Paving the way for good deeds to come;
Ploughing the fields for the seeding time,
Looking to days OF harvest home.
Ready for light and its current of life;
Looking TO earnest endeavor each day
Activity always with power is rife.
How should we work? With purpose so true
That the century shall hold the remem.
brance with Joy:
Nothing SO sad as purposeless life,
Nothing so noble as constant employ.
How should we work9 Why, as Love leads
the way;
No better guide than this can be found.
Honor the toiler who honors himself
With love of his labor, whatever its sound.
Why should we work? Because il is given
From cosmos to be Progression's glad wpy,
No one shall fail who will cheerily seize
Each possible coming with every new day,
Why should we work? More ready to be
For the higher and better that's waiting be-
yond;
Transition will open such wonderful doors,
And loved ones are waiting so gracious and
fond.
Then should we all work? The answer is here:
AS Virtue is always its own reward.

Woods Take Fire,

Through some unknown cause the
woods in the rear of Mrs. Julia NAL
lard's, Mrs. Fl. P. Dart and E. E.
O'Brien's properties near Bay St.
Louis caught fire several days ago.
Owing to draught and q strong north
west wind, the fire gained headway,
despite the fact that it was fought inch
by inch by the people in that vicinity.
A cottage In the rear of Mrs. Fl. P.
Darts property was burned to the
ground, s5gether with number of
fences, fruit and shade trees. At one
time the properties Of Mrs. Dart,
Mcdonnell and Feahney were In imi-
nent danger, but fortunately there
were two artesian wells on the Dart
property, which materially aided in
checking the fire.
