Chenowlth Post ONCE Abnndoned.

As no one has been found willing tc
accept the position of postmaster al
Chenowith, the Office was abandoned
last week, after one of the bondsmen
had kept it open for 30 days after the
resignation of Mr.. Hill. AS there is not
more than half dozen families served
at this office, and as no one will assume
the duties of postmaster, the postal au-
thorities will formally declare the office
discontinued.
The former patrons of the office now
get their mail at the Underwood post
office. This will mean six mile trip
for the Chenowith settlers. The creation
OF the Cascade forest reserve several
years ago cut down the amount of land
suitable for entry and with the closing
of the sawmills the Chenowith country
is receiving Temporary set back.
A large amount of this land is owned
by Portland capitalists interested in the
Columbia River & Northern Co., and it
is expected that in few years the land
will be cut up into small tracts and
leased to settlers. The land lies nicely
for farming,an with an irrigating ditch
to supply water this section OF Skamania
county should support a large popula-
tion. The land is well adapted to pro-
ducing winter apples.

The fire and water committee OF the
city council is figuring on the purchase
Of chemical engine for the city Of Hood

attic nine-tenths Of the fires are said to
be extinguished by chemical engines.
They are quickly taken to the fires, and
when the blaze is yet inside the build
Ing the fumes OF the chemicals thrown
upon them soon smother the fire with a
great deal less damage 10 furniture and
goods than stream Of water. As the
town Of Hood River has no water for
fire protection, and little imm ediate
prospects that It soon will have, chem
ical engine with volunteer department
would make us feel safer, even II the
insurance rates were not made less.

the hat trimming contest was the best.
Professor Colborn, W. II. 0verbaugh
and J. ?, Egan were the contestants,
Mr.. Egan winning the prize. The hat
Mr.. Egan trimmed, it is said was "dead

TO BUILD STEAM
RAILROAD HERE

w. II. Eccles of the Oregon Lumber
Co, who is home from trip to st. Louis
and the East, where he went to interest
capital in the construction of steam
railroad up Hood River valley, says in
all likelihood such road will be con.
structed in the near future.
Mr. West, chief engineer ofthe Sump-
ter Valley railroad, was here during the
week and took measurements along sew.
erai proposed routes. Engineer West
says that while the grades would be
rather stiff the project is entirely feast
BILE.
Mr.. Eccles says the lumber company
finds it necessary to have a railroad to
bring the logs from the mountains to
the mill, The river is in good shape to
drive them, but with the low water of
the Columbia there is no place to hold
them after they reach here. When the
road is constructed it viii also be used
for transferring freight up the valley,
and for bringing in the fruit of the far
mers.
Nothing hos been done with the pro.
posed dam in Hood river that was to
have been erected for power purposes
and for pond TO hold saw logs

On last Friday at the home of Mrs.
j, l.. Blount, who was assisted by Mrs
B. f. Shoemaker, the W. r. G. OF Hood
River were entertained in charming
manner The omnibus of the Fashion
stable with Laplander holding the
reins took out a party of seventeen la
dies.
OF the eight states represented it was
ascertained that dear, old Missouri had
but one representative daughter in the
party. Their average weight was also
estimated to be 10 pounds which is
another proof of Hood Rivers healthful
climate.
In spite of the crowded condition of
the vehicle the ladies had a delightful
trip, for they sang and laughed and
made the welkin ring. After thrice
cordial welcome they sat down to a
beautiful dinner, the guests filling four
long tables. The richest viands of the
famous Hood River valley were served
in pleasing manner and the W. r. Cs.
feasted just two hours, regretting then
they could hold no more

The Frankton school district, two
miles west Of this city, finds it necessary
to employ five teachers. We don't
believe there is another rural district in
the whole state of Oregon that employs
five teachers. Three miles south is the
Barrett school with three teachers and
a demand for the fourth.

Hood River Casts a big Vote.

Prohlbltlon was the issue that brought
out the voters in Hood River. No other
topic was discussed. Everyone, or
nearly everyone, had his mind made up
that he would vote for Roosevelt, but Il
was the question OF beer or no beer that
agitated the minds OF the great majority
OF the voters.
The vote in the East precinct showed
an increase of 1870 votes over that for
the state election in June. Hundreds
OF voters were sworn in in both the
East and West precincts.
Considerable excitement was aroused
early in the morning by the saloon
workers cornering all the registration
blanks, and their notary pub ie refusing
TO swear in voter when 1t was known
he would vote for prohibition. Bradley
the job printer, pulled his party out OF
the trouble by securing registration
blank and striking off large number
on his press
The saloons were all closed, and while
one or two strangers imbibed too freely
OF free liquor, there were no disturb
ances and the large crowds in the city
were very orderly.
The total vote of the five | o0d River
precincts foots up to 967, OF which 65S
were cast for Roosevelt, The vote of
the democrats and the prohibtonists
tailed III each.

LARGER QUARTERS
FOR POSTOFFICE

The present quarters OF the Hood
River postoflice in the brick building
adjoining Bragg's store on the south,
are entirely too crowded, and Postmas-
ter Yates has secured a new location on
the opposite side OF the street, in the
building formerly occupied by George

was in the city last week and finding
the new location would meet with his
approval, at once notified the depart
ment at Washington and word was
received the next morning that the
move was satisfactory.
Mr.. Yates expects to get located in
the Coe building the latter part OF this
week. Carpenters are fitting up the
new quarters and putting in an addi-
tional set OF lock boxes, making about
500 lock boxes for the Hood River
postofiice. The boxes extend 25 feet
down the center of the building. At
the further end is the general delivery
window, the money order department
and room for the rural carriers.

full rosy checked apples, but these are
not all the valleys resources. The
extreme fertility of the beautiful little
valley was best demonstrated last Sat
urday night by the appearance of 81
ghosts in the city limits. How they
came no one but themselves know, but
the majority hailed from Pine Grove
Their intentions did not seem hostile,
but with some united plan in mind they
descended on the Jenkins homestead,
while the doctor was nodding over his
evening paper and his energetic frau
was busy with her needlework
"rhe barking of the pup and chorus
OF growls heralded the approach of the
nightly visitors, who filed in and seated
themselves in circle on the floor" re-
marked the doctor. CATER much ghostly
pantomime and succession of cultural
sounds, we were given to understand
that their masks would be removed if
we would guess their names. Well,
this was poser, for all were dressed
alike so we could not tell which from
who, but one, more indiscreet than the
rest, breathed an audible wish for bite
of pie as big as his foot, Such a reason
able wish coupled with his dwarfsh
proportions reminded us of Ralph Saw
age and he was soon extricated from his
mask, His better hall was not far off.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehead and Mr.. and
Mrs. Chipping were recognized, but as
the majority of our guests were strangers
to us, we had to give up. The rooms
were soon cleared of furniture, folding
doors opened and with Mrs. Sletten at
the piano dancing began. At II 80
O'Clock lunch was served"
