Finds Orchards in splendid Shape.

The Glacier man, senior, took trip up
the East Side, Friday afternoon, as far
as William Kennedy's place. He Wis
tied the orchards and farms of William
Foss, j. L. Carter, Earl Prather, S. L.
Young, T., Steinhilber and William
Kennedy. Everywhere he went the
orchards were looking well. Spitzen.
burg and Yellow Newtown apples will
be nearly a full crop again this season
on the East Side
William Foss has thrifty looking
orchard, mostly Yakimas, which prom
ise fair crop. He set 800 Yellow New
town and Spitzenburg trees this last
spring. He is having well dug near
his house, and the workmen expect to
strike plenty of water at % feet.
Earl Prather, on the S. H. Cox farm,
has IA acres of Strawberries set this last
spring. The plants have had good cul-
tiyatien and are doing splendidIy with
out irrigation. We have no desire to
injure Mr.. Bones chances for selling
water, but we should never put water
on that l4-acre patch of berries. Plants

tion. However, Mr.. Prather will ap-
ply the water as soon as the ditch
reaches his place.
Mr. Carter now owns and manages
the fruit farm formerly the property of
NJ. V. Rand. Mr.. Rand never had the
place looking as well as it does to-
day. The old orchard is coming out
nicely, and the young trees set by Mr..
Carter are doing well. Thorough cul-
tivatiOn, spraying and thinning the
fruit are processes that are making the
East Side orchards famous for good
apples.
I. Steinhilber, on what was formerly
the John Sweeney place, is making a
great success in apple culture. No or.
chards in the valley are kept in better
shape than those of Mr.. Steinhilber's.
The 10 acres Of apple orchard set by
Mr.. Sweeney are still vigorous trees
and doing good service. The trees are
not bearing a full crop this year, but
the apples will be first class. Mr. Stein.

now he can give the rest of us pointers
in regard to growing fruit.
William Kennedy got reputation
years ago for growing fine apples. This
year he has charge of the apple orchard
on the Lacy place as well as his own
and will have pretty full crop of
winter apples on both. Mr.. Kennedy
is an expert in preparing the arsenite
of soda spray, and his neighbors have
come to depend upon him for their
spray mixture. This season lie boiled
500 pounds of arsenic, with which he
served himself and neighbors and the
orchardists of MOsier In a walk
through bis orchards we observed but
one apple marked by the Goblin moth,
and by cutting into it it was found to
be sound to the core. The poison had
got in its work before the worm had
penetrated much under the skin. Mr..
Kennedy's success in spraying should
give great encouragement to all en-
gagged in apple culture.

Was II Only a Rumor!

1t was rumored Sunday that the Hood
River Electric Light and Water COM
pany had fioated $4,000 in bonds, and
was to begin at once on the long-looked-
for water system. Anxious to learn
more about the matter, a Glacier man
sought out Mr.. Evans, the first thing
Monday morning. In his usual guarded
manner the president of the Electric
Light and Water company refused to di-
vulge that bit of news for which the
people Of Hood River have patiently
waited now these 10 months.

THURSDAY, JULY %, 1908.
Case Against Hershey Dismissed.


A deafening storm of applause and
stamping of feet greeted the verdict of
Justice Nickelsen when, after prelim-
mary trial. he dismissed the case against
Alvin o. Hershey. The 100 farmers
and patrons of the ditch company,
who had gathered to hear the trial,
were unreserved in their sympathy for
the defendant throughout the proceed
ings, and at the rendering of the de-
cision, cheered to the echo for their
fellow neighbor.
The case against Mr.. Hershey was a
charge made by the Valley Improve
ment company that he had taken
water not belonging to him; that he
had taken the same with malicious in
tent and without color of right Her
shey had not paid for his irrigating
water on June l, as is the understood
custom of the company, and on July
10 the ditch tender shut off Hersheys
water Mr.. Hershey Immediately
knocked out the obstruction and his
arrest followed.
From the argument of the defense 1t
appeared that Mr. Hershey had con-
tracted for 80 inches of water for tine
season of 1908; had given his word that
he would pay for the same, and there
fore the Valley improvement company
had no cause to shut off his supply.
Prosecuting Attorney Frank Menefee
of The Dalles appeared for the prosecu-
ton, while A. A. Jayne of Hood River,
assisted by Attorney Minor of Cotton,
Teal & Minor, corporation attorneys
of Portland, handled the defense, To
accommodate all interested spectators,
the trial was held in A. o. U. W. hall,
where over 100 farmers and patrons of
the ditch company gathered to listen
to the case.
The hearing before Justice Nickelsen
took place Saturday morning and occu-
pied about an hour and a half. The
only persons called to the witness stand
were Frank Davenport, president Of
the Valley Improvement company, his
son Frank Davenport, jr., and Thomas
Shere, both employees of the ditch COM
pany, and Truman Butler, cashier in
Butler x Co. g bank. In the afternoon
the attorneys made their pleas, and his
honor, Justice Nckelsen, decided the
case dismissed.
Just previous to the decision, Frank
Davenport announced that Mr.. Cham
bers was present from Eugene, and
that after the trial there would be II
meeting of the ditch patrons. when the
complaints of the water users would be
heard, and any suggestions for better
ment of the service would he received.
When Mr.. Chambers called for remarks,
there were calls from all parts of the
room of "Give us water" "Why
don't you get enough water?" was
asked "BC cause somebody steals it,"
was the reply. This brought forth
more noise, cheers and whistles, and
Mr.. Cham hers wondered what was
coming. The stormy scene was inten-
sified when two ditch patrons were ac-
cusiug each other of surreptitiOusly
taking more water than was rightly
his. 1t looked for awhile as if per-
sonal encounter would follow, but the
chairman finally restored order, and in
the end the conclusion was that the
Valley Improvement company had at
tempted to supply more water than
they took from the river, and that in
the lower part of the valley their tlume
wouldn't hold what water they had.

New school district at Mount Hood.

A new school district has been created
in the Mount Hood settlement out of the
south part of district No. 8. The new
district will be numbered Is, and was
set apart because of the great distance
of the petitioners from the present
school house. District No.6 was drawing
money on about so children, and will
lose ten of these with tire new district.
F. S. Gribble has been elected clerk.
BY the formation of this district there
are now within Hood River Valley prop
er II school districts. This is point to
be remembered in recounting the in
ducements Hood River has to offer to
intended settlers. The valley is well
supplied with excellent graded schools,
which Superintendent Gilbert declares
are the best in Wasco county.

Putting in His Own Water system.

Aud Winans, who lives in Winans ad-
dition, in the east end of town, is put
ting in water system of his own. He
has secured a gasoline engine, which
will pump water from Hood river to a
point 200 feet high just to the west of
his house. The engine is already in
operation on the bank of the river, and
MIR. Winans will have 2000-gallon res
ervoir completed and water running into
it within a few days. His engine is
guaranteed to raise II = gallons of water
a minute a distance of 250 feet. The
engine, pipe and tank will cost $3.50.
Mr. Winans intends this system for
his own private use, but says if need be
he can supply all residents in the east
ern part of town as far south as the
south line OF Sherman avenue and west
to the Congregational church and Judge
Prather's residence. Mr.. Winans has
been assured that this system Of pump
ing water from Hood River can be made
thorough success. For $3.50, so he
stated to a Glacier man, an engine can
be secured which will pump "a gallons a
minute to the highest point above town.
This would give the city an abundance
of the best water in the world.

The news of the killing was sent to

was sent down to arrest Mr.. Gay and
investigate the killing. Gay made
no effort to escape and asked for an
