above The present irrigating ditch Of
the Farmers Irrigating company are
planning 10 build ditch of their own.
The Hood River Water Supply COM
pany has ditch which brings out about
800 inches, but this is insufficient for
the needs of the upper valley in the
Crapper district and upper Barrett dis
trict. At the regular monthly meeting
of the Supply company last Saturday,
a committee of farmers appeared before
the board Of directors and talked the
matter over.
The Hood River Water Supply COM
pany appointed +. G. Sherrieb, Charles
Chandler and +. q. Church committee
of three to confer with like committee
from the farmers desiring the ditch,
and the joint committee will then con-
slider what plan is regarded the most
feasible for bringing out the irrigation
water.
II the farmers build ditch of their
own it is understood that they will buy
out the Supply company with their
rights as sort OF nucleus or working
basis. The Supply company considers
their system worth at face value, $1,000,
says G. j. Gessling. The ditch really
cost the owners about $4,000. The
present board of directors of the Water
Supply company are i. @. Sherrieb, H.
j. Hibbard, G. T.. Markham, Charles
Chandler, +. G.. Church, A. s. Blowers,
and g. j, Gessling. The stock of the
company is paying good dividends.
Early in the spring the ditch can sup
ply 500 inches OF water, but with the
coming OF the dry season the supply is
limited to 800 inches.
The board of directors of the company
discussed last summer the proposition
of enlarging the supply Of the ditch by
bringing water out of Green Point. The
company even filed on the water right,
but found then that those who owned
property through which right of way
would have to be secured, wanted such
exorbitant figures for damages that to
secure the rights OF way would have
cost more than the building Of the ditch,
and the undertaking had to be given up.
1t is understood that the farmers who
have had the new plan under considera.
tion propose to create district of the
upper valley and proceed to bond them
selves for the cost. Those promoting
the undertaking propose to call meet.

HOOD RIVER
Is PARADISE

s. Glen Andrus, railroad editor OF the
Chicago Record-Herald, when seen by
an Oregonian reporter after his trip tc
Hood River last week, remarked:

Mr.. Andrus came TO Oregon and the
Northwest short time ago, in company
with A. L. Craig and Rinaldo NJ. Hall,
Of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, and is now gathering data
for series OF articles on Oregon, its
resources and possibilities. These ar
ticles will have 10 do with the mineral
possibilities, the agriculture and indus-
trial conditions and with the state from
a scenic standpoint They will be pub
lished in the form Of letters for the
daily Record Herald, and in Sunday
stories on special features for the Sun
day supplement. These supplement
stories will be published simultaneously
in all Of the principal cities OF the East,
There Is no advertising graft and no
hope OF reward In the compilation OF
the articles. Mr.. Andrus wished to see
Oregon, and having seen it, is eager to
tell the people OF the East OF the won
ders that he has discovered.
Mr.. Andrus was interviewed further
by the Evening Telegram, when he said:
"a day spent in Hood River valley
convinced me that the wonderful repu-
tation that section has Ia well deserved.
/ have visited many fruit districts and
am candid and honest when ! say that
the $1,000 acres Of that valley is the
most productive belt that ! have ever
seen.
"The Columbia River scenery 80 far
surpasses the Hudson river that there
is no comparison. Every mile from The
Dalles TO Portland has something new
and interesting, and when the East
becomes acquainted with this magnifl-
cent stretch OF scenery, thousands will
see it where possibly one does today.
At the junction Of the Willamette and
Columbia rivers, is the most beautiful

the editor agreed. But would Lord
Randolph take the news to any other

we may be sure, rejecting on the won

severely for deserting his colleagues.
