foreman Gilbert and party OF line
men arrived during the week and are
stringing wires and putting in extra
poles to meet the demand for increased
service in the telephone system Of Hood
River.
Miss Cramer, manager OF the Pacific
States Telephone Co for Hood River,
states that the improvements which
have patiently been awaited will be
made as soon as workmen can string
the wires and put in the instruments.
Some 80 contracts have recently been
secured for suburban phones, and when
these are placed in position it will make
about 100 farmer phones for the Hood
River circuit. In the city there are
about 250 more instruments, making the
total for the valley little over 400.
Many of the lines leading into the
country are very much over-crowded
and complaints at the poor service have
been frequent, and many. Foreman
Gilbert says that on seven OF the line:
coming into town there are now los
wires. With the new one being put in
this will reduce the number to only ter
ON wire.
Harry Bailey is assisting Foreman
Gilbert to string the wires.

ID. Mcdonald, member OF the sewer
|.committee of the city council, says the
cost for the proposed ever system has
been estimated to cost about $35 or SAC
per 50.foot front. This will make the
cost for the main part Of the city about
$4,000.
The committee is at work now fgur-
ing out the assessments and expect to
have the list ready for publication by
next week.
1t was originally intended 10 extend
the system west on River street to the
cross street forming the east line OF
Paradise farm, but the Hood River De-
velopment Co. Is understood to be
strongly opposed to such move. Mr.,
Mcdonald states that the company's
representative stated to him that they
wanted the sewer constructed after the
original plans, with everything in shape
so they could connect when they want
ed to, but they don't want to stand the

Co., wholesale commission merchants,
report as follows;
"Market the past week has been fair

so large, the market became glutted to
the extent that freight charges hardly
were realized. Some very fine Craven
stein apples and Bartlett pears have
made their appearance in this market
from Hood River, but the pears have
reached here little over ripe, Shippers
should be careful that no wormy ones

Bartlett pears, 75c to 81, as to size and
condition; Gravenstein apples, five tier,
90c to 81, four tier, 81 to $l.25; other
good apples range from 90c to 81 for
good stock to $l.25 for strictly fancy

READY TO give
THE CITY WATER

HI. Worse, manager for the Hood
River Electric Light, Power and Water
Co., tells the Glacier that his company
is prepared to give the city of Hood
River water for fire protection, and that
his company means business when he
makes the statement.
ave are here for business, we have
the water to supply, and mean to offer
the people just and equitable PROPOSE
ton" remarked Mr.. Worse.
"Insurance today on stocks and busi"
ness blocks is costing Hood River mer-
chants and owners $4,000 per annum, :"
continued Mr.. Worse. "Much of this is
at 10 per cent, the maximum rate. Any
additional isk means cancellation Of
policy, but underwriters will allow a 20
to rs per cent discount on tbis annual
premium under their prescribed system
Of fire protection.
"The Hood River Electric Light,
Power and Water Co. stands ready to
supply the required service, and allow
such reasonable use rs the city can
make OF hydrant water, at an annual
rental less than one.third the amount
EdNtu lIOIll
at would be possible, il work is be-
gun Immediately, to construct the sys-
tenn and have it in condition to give
service January /. 1905. We would sup
ply water for such service from the to-
be-completed reservoir at June street
and county road, under pressure Of 1903
pounds per square inch at tire present
post Office location, and the source of
supply will be first the springs now
owned by the company, which are de-
livering more than $1,000 gallons OF
water per day. Assuming a consump-
ton Of 40 gallons per capita per day,
which includes fire service, this guam
tity would meet the needs of city of
over IA, 900 inhabitants.
"But this company will agree to main
tain a given number of cubic feet of
water in said reservoir at all times even
should it mean pumping from Hood
river We have under way the laying
of $4,000 feet OF s, 8 and 4-inch pipe on
the hill
Immediately following this will be an
improvement in the domestic service
below the hill, calculated to give all con-
sumers an ample supply Of water.
Should this company enter into contract
with the city to supply water service
for fire protection it will ask reason
able time only in which to install the
system, and will give substantial bond
guaranteeing faithful performance of
contract on its part.
Improvements in our lighting plant
are under way New light circuits will
be placed on the hill and our lighting
capacity increased to meet every de-
mand.
"From this time, let 1t be understood
we are for progress. We mean to be,
and shall be, reasonable and just with
the city and the individual"

Hottest August for Years.

Old timers have all said the month OF
August just passed was the hottest
known in this country for years, but
those who are newer to the country
were tempted TO doubt the memory OF
those who have had the good fortune to
live here longer, But figures must be
taken OF their face value.
ID. N. Byerlee, the local weather oh
server for Hood River, finds ON COM
pairing his monthly report for August
with the reports Of the corresponding
months for previous years, that this last
month was the hottest by many de-
grees. The average mean temperature
for the month justo closed was 67.S3,
while for August, 1908, it was 500; 1902
40 Z; 1901, 52.2.
The mean maximum for August, &C
cording to Mr.. Byerlee's report, was
1894, and the highest temperature re-
corded was 80, on August 8. The ave

Complaints are frequent by farmers
of sneak thieves entering their orchards
and gardens by night and stealing fruit
and vegetables. There Is not a farmer
or fruit grower in the valley but would
give his neighbor melons or fruit II he
came in daylight to make friendl,
call. When the dishonest neighbol
comes at night TO. steal peaches or plul
watermelons he deserves to be plugged
with buckshot. No mercy should b.
shown any one caught stealing in HooC
