3lood 12.rsr Glacier.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY a, 1904.

The Glacier is ever anxious TO advo-
cate what is best for Hood River, but
over the present ditch problem we are
soreIy puzzled. Mr.. Chambers, who is
a creditor of the Valley Improvement
Go. for the sum of $4,000, wants his
money. He has taken the affairs OF
the company into his own hands ana
demands of the Hood River strawberry
growers that they put up $50, 900 with
in the next 80 days under the threat
no money, no water. 1t is a business
proposition with Mr.. Chambers, and
he can't he censured for wanting his
money. Nobody envies his position
On the other hand, if Mr.. Chambers
has made poor investment, why
should the strawberry growers OF Hood
River be made to pay for it?
What is to be done? The people can
not escape the responsibility of the sit
uation, and we know they are disposed
to do what is fair and reasonable
The Glacier is of opinion that the law
would not uphold this move on the
part of the ditch company. A large
part of the berry growers are renters
They have been planting and caring
for their plants since last strawberry
harvest in the firm belief that water
for irrigation would be forthcoming
same as usual at the proper time
Many others have their lands mort
gagged for all they are worth and could
not buy perpetual water rights at $SC
an inch even If so disposed. They, too
have planted and cared for their plants
hoping to harvest sufficient crops to
help pay off the mortgages. If the
land owners who can afford to pur
chase perpetual rights are supplied
with water, no others who are willing
to pay the old rates could be deprived
Of water when such deprivation meant
the destruction of their crops. The
shortest way out of the difficulty
would he for the patrons of the Valley
Improvement Co. to ask the circuit
court to appoint receiver for the com
pany. Under the management of the
receiver repairs could be made to the
ditch, and when the water rents fall
due, July l, the first money could be
applied to paying off the Indebtedness
incurred in repairing the ditch. II
Is up to the farmers to decide if they
will accede to the company's demands
giving them 80 days in which to raise
$4,000 at time of year when many OF
them would find it hard to put up sc

Bills have been introduced in congress
granting the Oregon Historical society
title to that property in The Dalles on
which are located Several buildings in
varied stages of preservation which in
former years constituted Fort Dalles.
The Glacier has often wondered why
something like this wasn't done before,
and hopes that when the Historical So
ciety secures the property the Oregon
legislature will see fit to supply sufiic-
lent funds to properly preserve this old
fort. The buildings must have been
erected during the early SOS. The lum-
ber, it is said, was shipped from the
East by way Of Cape Horn. Among the
United States army officers at one time
quartered at The Dalles were Phil
Sheridan and General Grant. Connect
ed with this old fort are many histori-
cal incidents which if prepared in book
form would make very interesting read
ing.

Mr.. Chambers Demands $40, 900.

pDVSVOVs
Hood River farmers will not get irri-
eating water from the Valley Improve
ment Co. this summer unless they con-
tract FIR perpetual water rights at $50
an inch, payable by March /, 1901.
They will also I've compelled to pay
$3.50 an inch each year hereafter for
maintenance purposes. Such is the
substance OF resolution passed at a
meeting of the stockholders Saturday,
authorizing the board of directors to
contract for the sale of 1000 inches or
more of water for a period of 80 years,
ut the rates stated.
The resolution was introduced by
f. L Chambers of Eugene, a creditor Of
the Valley Improvement Co. for the
sum of $4,000 In explanation, Mr..
Chambers said he had loaned the ditch
all the money he cared to under the
circumstances and would do nothing
more until the water users paid $50, 900
for 1000 inches. As soon as this sum
is secured, $23, 600 will go to pay the
Indebtedness, $4,000 for what is due
Frank Davenport, and "a, 900 for nee.
essary fume repairs. Mr.. Chambers
further stated that he must raise the
$4,000 within the next 30 days, OF
give it up entirely. Where the farmers
are not prepared to put up the cash,
Mr.. Chambers has arranged to loan
them the money at per cent, with
he land for security. He expressed
his confidence in being able to sell the
| 200 inches.
Saturdays meeting was the Valley
Improvement Co.'s regular annual
meeting. The first business was the
election of board of seven directors,
resulting in the selection of Frank Dav-
export, w. ]. Baker, Mark Davenport,
f. Il. Newby, C. 4. Copple, Warren
Davenport, NJ. FL. Nickelsen. Later in
the day the directors qualified and or.
ganized with Frank Davenport, pres
ident; W. j. Baker, vice president, and
G. 4. Copple, secretary. Mr.. Chambers
was named as manager for the season
of 1904.
Dalles attorneys were consulted, Sun
day, in drawing up the 99-year con-
tracts, and every detail was gone over
carefully. The contracts have been
printed, and In few days Mr.. Wag-
gOner of Eugene, who is acting as ageut
for Mr.. Chambers, will call upon the
patrons of the Valley Improvement
Co. and present the proposition.
Monday morning a Glacier man ac-
companied Frank Davenport, Mark
Davenport and Mr. Chambers on an
inspection tour of the main flume and
ditch, from the bridge over Hood river
to mile and a half below the old Van
johnson place. Rough estimetes were
taken on the repair work that must be
done, including a new bridge over the
river, and it may he safely said that
"a 900 or IS, COO judicially expended will
put the ditch in very good shape for
carrying 1,2O0 inches of water for the
coming season. About half a mile of
ditching must be completed at points
where the old fiume never worked sat
isfactorily, and half mile of siding has
to be replaced on the flume below John
Hakel's place, where it was torn out
with the intention Of widening the
flume to ~ feet. When replaced, this
will likely be done.

"The municipal water system owned
by the city of Pendleton, says the Pen
dleton East 0regonian, returned the
people profits of $7,06S.6l for the year
1908, an increase in profits of 1892, 10
over 1902. This is the fruits Of munich
pal ownership of public utilities. No
city in the land should ever sell, bar
ter or give away franchise that belongs
to the people. Public ownershipis sue
cessful here. No scandal has been con-
nected with the water SYSTEM" Here
is a suggestion for Hood River. Let us
elect senator or representative from
Hood River pledged to go into the next
legislature and work for bill giving the
city the right to bond itself for such a
sum as will put in water system.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-03-15

in the northwest on this side of the
Columbia, while ON the south side they
grow fine crops of wheat and potatoes
and the sugar beet is the best crop to
follow wheat on their summer fallow
land that they can possibly raise; it
roots deep into the subsoil and many
roots and fibrous roots remain in the
soil after the crop is dug to decay and
make humus which takes up water
and soil moisture and deals it out to the
succeeding years crop in an econom-
ical way. If the summer fallow is
left bare with a system of farming
that does not create a humus in the
soil and subsoil the land naturally
gives up the moisture readily to the
sun and drying winds.
The cultivation given the sugar beet
is then the best way to handle the
summer fallow. Success with sugar
beets mainly depends on the first
preparation of the soil, which should
be plowed nine inches deep and in
most cases a Subsoil attachment
should be used and run seven inches
deeper This done the pulverizing har-
row should put the field in the best
possible condition. Next with spring
tooth or Planet Jr. cultivator bring to
the surface the remaining Jumps and
clods and thereby pulverize the soil
to about eight inches and again with
the pulverizing harrow or drag, and
in instances a roller should be used
as packing must be done to hold the
moisture.
The after cultivation is much like
many vegetables we grow and in the
larger fields, if the land is cultivated
with a two-row or four-rOw cult
vator, it should be marked out and
drilled by a similar tool SO that the
man when cultivating need but watch
and guide his machine to one row
to cultivate two or four, as the case
may be. With such implements one
man can cultivate nearly as much
as he could harrow.

The Raising of Sugar Beets.

B. F. Surrey, of the Wenatchee var
ley, is an enthusiast on the question
of raising sugar beets in the valley
and having large factory built to
convert the crop into sugar. In the Re-
public he recently had an article de-
failing the methods to be pursued In
growing the beet. Mr.. Surrey spent
two seasons at the Washington exper-
ment station at Pullman during the
time a test was made of some eighty
acres of beets adjoining the college
grounds. He says:
Our soil is the best to be found any
where for the highest percentage OF
sugar. We have the best water supply
