Nod As You Meet A Passerby,

1t would be harsh and probably
wrong to say that the man or woman
who while driving on n country high
way fails to nod at the occupants OF a
passing vehicle is not lady or gen
tleman, says the Crookston journal.
1t is not more than the truth to say
that the man who mods at passerhv
on the highroad, possesses the milk
Of human kindness, lie may nod be-
cause he knows it to be the proper
thing to do. lie may nod because he
is glad to see stranger in the land,
or he may nod only because he knows
the passerby. In any event the nod
is pleasant, II denotes the hospitality
hat is sadly lacking in some northern
communities.
The man who does not salute a
passing driver may not do so because
he does not know it is the right thing
to do. II he possessed any love for
his fellow creatures he would do SO any
way-iust ON general principles.
The courtesy that prevails on the
ocean highways is the same courtesy
that should be an understood thing
on country roads, When one meets

WATER NEXT
WEEK ON HILL

"We expect to have water on the hill
the first of next month, " said IL. F.
Davidson, OF the Hood River Electric
Light and Water Power Co.
"Nearly all the pipe has been laid
from the Lyman Smith spring. The
rest of the pipe will be placed in the
ground in day or two, when the water
will be turned in and ready for use"
The water company informs the Gla-
cier that nearly 5000 have been ex-
pended in extending their system to the
hill. Some 1866 feet of 4, 8 and g.
inch pipe have been pu, in the ground.
About 1000 feet have been laid from
the Coe spring to DR., Brosius' corner
The pipe running from the Lyman
Smith spring is an S-inch main.

DAM FOR
POWER

Leslie Butler, II. f. Davidson and
John Leland Henderson have leased
ground from DR.. r. l.. Eliot for the con-
struction Of n 50-foot dam in the stream
OF Hood River, which dam when COM
pleted will be used by the Oregon
Lumber company as a storage pond for
sawlogs, while the water power to be
developed will be used in operating an
extensive electrical power house
No figures can be given atthis writing
as to the probable cost of the big dam
and power plant, but an engineer will
arrive tomorrow to run lines and to fur
nish an estimate on the cost, and
amount of power that can be developed,
1--WE expect to have the dam COM
pleted within 60 days." said II. +.
Davidson, one of the promoters of the
enterprise.
"You may state that a 90.year lease
has been signed with DR., Eliot" said
Leslie Butler to Glacier reporter, "and
that arrangements have been made
with the Oregon Lumber company to
use the dam as storage pond instead
OF letting the logs run down to the boom
at the mouth of the river, as they do
now, where many OF them have been
lost. 1t is expected that the lake will
be sufficient to store from 100000 to
1900, 900 feet of logs. 1t is probable
that the dam will be only 35 feet high,
but will be constructed so it can be
increased to so feet in height at any
time.
ave already have had offers from out
of town to buy the electricity we expect
to develop, but it is our intention tc
offer this power for sale at such figure
as to induce capitalists to construct
manufacturing plants at Hood River
We would rather sell power at a much
lower figure to factories in the city here
than to obtain higher prices for trans
mitting 1t to Portland or The Dalles.
"As soon as the dam is completed, 9
portion of the power will be utilized in
operating II light plant that will supply
light for everybody, The plant will al
80 furnish motor power"

A New York apple buyer, who spent
some time in Hood River this summer,
believes it would pay orchardists here to
plant pears. The varities ofpears which
find ready sale in the eastern markets
and are considered the most profitable
TO the growers are the Donenne du Com
ice, the Beurre Bose and the Beurre D.
Anjou. The Donenne du Comice is
known as shy bearer, but is fine eat
ing pear. Pears are known to do well
hereand to those who know how to grow
and market them they should be profit

vious crop. The pear crop was light
but the quality was good and the crop
was nearly all salable. Notwithstand-
ing the serious backset the prune bust
ness has received, the fruit industry of
Oregon is growing all re time and is
becoming steadily factor of greater i'm
portance as revenue producer.-Rural
Northwest.
Southern Oregon papers say that most
of the prune orchards in the Rogue
River valley will soon be thing Of the
past. Some of the orchards are being
worked over into peach orchards and
others are being grubbed up. The prune
business is re-adjusting itself and IN a
few more years it will be on a normal
and paying basis, but the re-adjustment
period is tough one for growers.

CALL FOR LOCAL
OPTION VOTE HERE

A petition was filed the first of the
week with County Clerk Bolton, at The
Dalles, calling for vote on Noyem Der
s, to decide whether or not saloons shall
exist for the next two years in Hood
River valley. The petition creates the
four Hood River precincts and Viento
as district, and contains more than
the required ten per cent of the names
of the voters of the district as shown by
the last general election.
The precincts in the district calling
for vote OH prohibition include West
Hood River, East Hood River, South
Hood River, Baldwin and Viento. In
the four precincts Of Hood River valley
last June, the local option law carried
with a majority Of l06 votes. The vote
for the law was 396; against, 290.
With the filing Of the petition calling
for vote on prohibition in Hood River
district, there was filed petition call
ing for vote on the question in Wasco
county. The petition containing more
than the required 10 per cent of the
vote cast in the county at the last gem
eral election, it will become necessary
for the county court to order an cleo
ton held in compliance with the prayer
OF the petition, which is as follows.
eve, the undersigned voters Of Was
co county, Oregon, would respectfully
petition that on Tuesday, the 9Th day of
November, 1904, an election be held to
determine whether the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors shall BE prohibited in
said Wasco county as a whole"
As the local option law carried in
Wasco county last June, the prohibition
people are hopeful OF carrying the
county at the November election. Al
though the proposition might fail in the
county as a whole, the prohibitionists
have petitioned for vote in Hood River
as separate division, where every
effort will be made by the "drys" to see
that the majority of l06 is maintained
at the coming election.
In Multnomah county, an injunction
has been filed requesting that the
county clerk he restrained from issuing
the order calling for vote on prohibi.
ton in that county. This case is now
before the circuit court in Multnomah
county, and the outcome will be await

out the state,
Colonel Sobieski will lecture at Hood
River, under the auspices of the state
prohibition committee, Friday, October

Sobieski has been speaking for prohi-
bition in various parts of the state, and
is said TO be an able expounder Of his
cause.

A new paper, the Pioneer, published
at Madras, Crook county recently de.
clared the people Of Northern Crook
were opposed to the creation of new
county out Of portions of Crook and
Wasco counties. The Antelope Herald
comes out and declares this is only a
dog.in-the-manger policy on the part Of
the the Pioneer editor because he figures
out that the county seat would not come
to Madras with the creation OF new
county. II is to be inferred from this
that the people Of Antelope are still de-
sirous Of new county. They made the
effort two years ago, but the movement
failed,

The committees In charge OF the ar

II will be q success, that is foregone

the better the results, directly and in

work for greater Hood River, and the
little or more that each one of us can do
makes itself felt In the aggregate. Hood
River never had better prospects for
apples; the editors OF Oregon viii hold
their annual meeting here during the
fair; prominent men from over the state
interested in Its development, are send
ing word every day that they are coming,

Underwood viii Exhibit Fruit At Fair.

The Glacier reporter took a jaunt to
Underwood last Sunday. After travel
ing over that fine fruit section he finds
Underwood is a much larger country
than he had supposed it to be, What
Underwood wants is more people, The
land there is as fine as can be found
anywhere.
The Underwood farmers are taking
an interest in the Hood River fruit fair,
and many of them have agreed to send
over exhibits. Charles Walthers SAYS
he has some pears that he doesn't think
can be beat for size or beauty. He also
has some handsome Ben Davis apples.
c. II. Cromwell, who will teach the
Underwood school this fall, has an
orchard of 800 Newtown trees. The
ground on which these trees are planted
was plowed the first time on the 10Th
day of May, year ago On the I'd day
OF June the same year the trees were
set out. Today they are large thrifty
trees, and next year will begin to bear
fruit. Considering the very dry sum
mer, the growth these trees have made
is remarkable. 1t is splendid example
of the fine quality of the soil on Mr..
Cromwell's place.
Now that the new bridge across the
White Salmon river has been completed
the people of Underwood expecta boom.
The road makes nearer route to
Trout Lake aud Camas Prairie and fur
nishes much better grade The resi-
dents of Underwood, when their town
grows a little larger propose to have the
star mail routes go into Trout lake from
Underwood, They also believe that as
they are located directly on the White
Salmon river their city should be known
as White Salmon. II the people of
White Salmon object to having their
name stolen, Underwoodites would let
that town be known as Dried White
Salmon.
Underwood has great expectations.
Watch it grow.

That apple packers cannot exercise too
much care in packing fruit ior long
distance shipments was well exempli-
fled last week by car Of apples being
held up by inspectors in Seattle, because
some OF the fruit contained worms, scab
or specks. The apples were sent out by
Portland shipper who will have to pay
the freight on hauling them back to
Portland or dump them into Puget
sound. The apples did not come from
Hood River. But there are Hood River
farmers not too honest for this kind of
work. The manager OF the apple union

With wood "a cord in this city, it
seems wanton waste for farmers in the
upper part of the valley to burn the
wood that could be made from the slash

do his weeks trading, he brings a wagon
load Of wood for which he finds ready

much TO haul the wood to town, there
