The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-01-23

DR.. W. G. Bailey of California read a
paper upon the Angora goat industry
of the United States before the live
stock convention at Kansas City in
which he said the industry had been
successfully growing in this country
fof more than forty years, and the
fiocks have grown from nothing to
about 100000 animals. Last year more
than 100000 pounds of mohair were
produced which sold for from 20 to As
cents pound, and the American mills
consumed more than 5000, 900 pounds.
1t would take several years to produce
enough mohair for home consumption,
but home consumption was increasing
as rapidly as home production, and
there was a demand for large, fine
skins far in excess of the supply. The
Angora goat is not creation of the
whim of speculation brought from
distant Turkey to induce the American
public to part with its hard
earned lucre, but he is a money maker,
and when the American live stock
breeder prepares proper place for the
right kind of Angora he need feel no
hesitancy in stocking with these silver
fieeced brush destroyers. They are an
American institution and they have
come to stay.

The mayors message is frank state
ment of the situation in our municipal
affairs. Mr. Coon has the courage OF
his convictions and dares to tell the
truth-.tells it openly and above board,
SO that all may read. The message is
not very pleasant reading to the most Of
us; it deals in facts that we might rath-
er have concealed. But where is the
remedy The mayor fails to point
out remedy. In this respect he is
not so frank. If the improvements
marked out by the preceding admins
tration are to be begun and carried out
it will be necessary to have revenue.
The city must raise funds either by Ii
censing the different occupations or
by levying a tax upon real and per-
sonal property. A goodly number OF
the voters who. composed the majority
at the recent election are in favor OF a
tax levy, say OF about four mills for a
starter. To vote a tax that will be
available for this years use will necessi-
tate immediate action. Without tax
there can be no street improvements,
no city hall, no sewer system carried
out, and the city will Bein debt at the
end of the year.

For 4 Permnneni Road.

The committee soliciting subscriptions
for the improvement OF the grade on the
East Side met with good success and
succeeded in getting subscriptions to
the amount of 1925. SO. Other subscrip-
tions that have been promised will swell
the amount to 81 900. The county court
will give $500. 1t was expected
that the county court would give as
much as the amount subscribed, as has
been its custom, but this time the court
couldn't "see the raise" and had to
call for "show down" This money
will be expended in building perma-
nent roadway from the city corporation
line on the East Side as far as the ap-
preparation will admit. The work will
be under the supervision of County Com
missioner Hibbard. Following is the
list of subscribers and the amounts sub
scribed
To Whom it May Concern: We, the
undersigned citizens and residents Of
the East Side Hood River valley and
road district No 8, Wasco county, Ore
gon, herewith subscribe, to be paid in
cash, the sums set opposite our respect

creating fund to he used in widening
and graveling the certain county road
known as the East Side grade in said

"HoOd River Apples.v

Hood River apples have no reputation
with certain family on Harrison street.
The other day farmer came along with
a load OF apples which he said he had
raised himself on Hood River. He was
offering these apples at 65 cents box,
he said, and could afford to do so, as he
had hauled them in from Hood River,
60 miles away, and thus saved railroad
freight. The apples did not look very
toothsome, being Of pale green color,
and speckled here and there with holes
that bespoke Goblin moths, but the lady
OF the house thought they must be all
right, having been raised on Hood River.
F'How are things on Hood River?" the
young farmer man was asked; "and do
you know Mr.. Smith, the president OF
the state board Of horticulture there2"
"0h, Hood Rivers all right. know
Mr.. Smith well. He's my nearest
neighbor.n
A box of-apples was invested in and
they were carried into the house. The
man from Hood River drove away be-
fore the fruit was sampled, as he knew
there would be a denouement when the
apples were cut open. They proved
tasteless on the outside and rotten at
the core. The Hood River man was seen
shortly after driving out over the Can
yon road, having disposed OF his load.
He had picked the fruit up on the
ground in some moss-grown, neglected
old orchard in Washington county, and
were it not for the magic word "Hood
River" he would have had difficulty in
disposing of them even at 65 cents box,
while the real Hood River apples were
selling at 81 box wholesale down town.

The Glacier notes with pleasure the
spirit of progress in Hood River, as
evidenced in the many new buildings
going up throughout the city and val
ley and the sidewalks that are being
put down. Let the good work go on.
Nothing is so dscouraging to strangers
coming into town as to find muddy
streets aud no sidewalks. In this con-
nection we might suggest that our
citizens-and this means the good la
dies as well--organize a civic improve
ment society, and let them see that
Hood River is beautified and nade at
tractive to the many visitors who come
to see our apples and berries and per
chance to abide with us.

duced by Senator McGinn of Multno-
nah county granting personal clerk

addition to the clerk each committee is

little or no labor except to sign receipts
for their salaries. The state senate OF

each senator $25 for incidental ex-
