bonds to insure the people they would
get their water. He replied that the
right of the water consumers to go onto
the ditch and bring down the water if
it were not forthcoming was security
enough.
Fred Bailey wanted to know if he did
not sign the $50 contract, whether, with
the water running by his farm as it had
for the past five years, the company had
the right to refuse to sell him water if
he should tender the customary pay
ment of IS an inch. Mr.. Wagnon gave
as his opinion the perpetual water-right
customers would have to be served first,
and if there was any left, the company
might let Mr.. Bailey have water if it
wanted to. The question was propound-
ed to Attorney Jayne, who, believing
the laborer worthy of his hire, passed
it up for the time being.
The subject OF prior rights brought to
Mr. Benson's mind the agreement the
Valley Improvement Co. made with
number OF the farmers when it took
control of laterals, built by the farmers
to get water from the Hood River Water
Supply Co., and arranged to furnish
water through said laterals at $5 an
inch thereafter. 1t was seen that this
is another question for the courts.
Several other questions were discussed
and finally Mr.. Wagnon was asked what
his company considered the ditch worth.
He replied that before Mr.. Chambers
and himself came up the last time they
didn't consider it SO very valuable, but
since looking over the situation he
would say the ditch, as it stands today,
is worth $4,000. A Glacier reporter
wanted to know then why the company
couldn't put up its own money
for needed repairs and improvements in
stead of demanding that the farmers
foot the bill. He was politely told that
that was not business proposition, and
given to understand his question was
impertinent.
The subject of the splash dams of the
Mount Hood Lumber Co., and their in
fiuence on the flow of water in the ditch,
came under discussion.
The committee went into executive
session, and before adjournment, Mr..
Jayne was retained as attorney to look
up points of law on securing a receiver
for the ditch company; have the fiume
repaired to furnish water this summer,
and in the meantime let the farmers
arrange to build ditch of their own,
or invite outside capital to do it for them,

w. r. G. Social.

The dinner given by the w. r G. at
Carmichael hall last Saturday, was we'll
attended, ,and all hands were bountifully
supplied with eatables. The hall was
decorated with flags and Oregon grape.
In the evening there was a splendid pro-
gramme consisting of songs, recitations
and tableaux. A little girl who was
present said to her grandmother: "Why,
grandma, every piece gets better, doesn't
it?'' And this fully expresses all that
could be said, for all did their best and
the w. r. c. considered it success. A
large audience was present, and after
the programme most of the young folks
stayed, and spent the remainder of the
evening playing games. The only
fault to be found was the small price
the women charged for admission and
their delicious refreshments. This is
the first entertainment ever given on
the hill, but will not be the last, as
all expressed themselves as having en-
joyed such a pleasant evening.

NO BULLFIGHT, BUTA RIOT
MOB BURNS BUILDING.
st. Louis Fails of Imported Erc'te-
ment and PrOUides Its Ozcn.

St Louis June 5-Incensed over their failure
TO see genuine Spanish bullhght," which the
authorities had ordered stopped. a riot was
started in an arena near the Worlds Fair
grounds this evening by crowd Of twenty-five
hundred men and boys. who were unable 10 get
their money back and the building was burned
10 the ground. Four men arrested by the
authorities of St. Louis County. charged with
destruction of property. The crowd thinking
these men were connected with the show. made
an attempt to mob them, and in their encounter
with the deputy sheriffs a number were roughly
handled and some received scalp wounds. The
building is said TO have cost $4,000. 1t is a
total loss.
The initial performance by the company Oe
Spanish bullfghters had been advertised widely
for to-day. but Governor Dockery. to whom nu-
merOus protests had been made by religious and
humane societies. ordered that the fight should
not be allowed to take place. Despite these or
ders. a large crowd assembled in the arena at
the advertised time OF opening. Before the reg
ular performance a number OF cowboys drove
in some bulls. which they ran around the arena
in true Wild West style. The crowd soon be-
came tired of this, and called for the bullfght.
The announcement was then made that the
bullfght would be proceeded with. AS the
rnatadors came into the ring a county official
stepped up to the announcer and handed him a
paper informing him that the proposed snow
could not take place. When this became known
to the crowd they leaeped into the arena and de-
n1anded the return OF their money. 81 apiece.
Failing to get this the crowd went 10 the office.
which was In small building outside the arena.
and began to stone 1t.
This was followed by attempts to burn the
main structure which was an immense build
ing constructed OF pine. Bits OF burning paper
were thrown at the woodwork, and finally some
iUSf de drODDed a lighted match
n pile OF hay under the building. The whole
structure was soon on fire, and before long was
in ruins.
A call was made for the fire department. but
tho single engine that responded stuck In the
mud and there nothing 10 stop the progress
of the flames. The fire department OF the
Worlds Fair was called out to protect the ex-
position buildings, but, as the wind blew In
another direction there was no danger.
