BALTIC PROVINCES in REVOLT
TROOPS ARE HURRIED FORWARD
Extraordinary Conditions Prevail Throughout The Empire Of The
Car The Throne Is Threatened and Tho P~roIstariat Is
In the Saddle and Carrying All Before Il

II summons for II complete general
strike today which will tie up the
war by the proletariat in the form of
railroads, the tclegraphs and every
industry and business in the empire.
All the proletariat groups here have
decided in favor of n general strike
and news has been received that the
workmcn s council and the allied bod
les at Moscow have also pronounced
in favor of it. The decision of the
central committee of the railroad I'M
ION sitting at Moscow, without the
support of which the other o%rganiza-
tionS probably will not risk IA battle,
has not vet been received but il is
known the delegates from st. Peters
burg and the Baltic provinces are in
favor of the movement and the lead
ers here are confident that the radicals
will carry the day.
Tomorrow Russia may again be cut
off from the world, not only by wire,
but by rail.
There is an air of suppressed ex-
citement throughout the city. The
streets have a regular holiday APP
pearance in honor of the emperor's
name day, and are crowded.
Collisions between reds and loyal
lists are momentarily expected but
none have been reported up to the
present hour.
a big loyalist demonstration has
been planned but it was abandoned at
the request of the project Of the
police, who believes it may provoke
bloodshed.
Batteries of machine guns are sta
toned at several points of vantage
throughout the city and patrols of in
fantry and Cossacks are everywhere.
A specially heavy guard is stationed
in the ncighborhood of the Jewish
market.
Services are held in all the church
es today and in every barracks the
emperor'S order for an increase of
pay and of food was read to the
troops.

CONTRACT FOR SEWER
AWARDED and SIGNED

At a special meeting of council held
Friday, Paquet, Gebisch & Joplin
were awarded the contract for build
ign the sewer. Their bid was S2l,
$50. It has been found that 1t will
not be necessary to excavate as deep
ly as was expected, and it is thought
that the sewer may be constructed for
less than this. These figures are based
on the estimates of the engineer at so
much cubic yard, and it is posi- BILE
that this amount may be exceeded
At another meeting Of council held
Saturday the contract was signed and
the contractors furnished bonds to the
amount Of $4,000 The contract stip-
ulates that work on the sewer must
commence ON January s, and that it
must be completed within 120 days
from that time.
Paquet, Gebisch & Joplin have the
best of facilities for handling work of
this kind and have been engaged in
similar work in Portland and other
cities. They have recently completed
contract at tho latter city calling
for an outlay Of Sl35, 900 and also have
the contract for the new irriagting
ditch to be dug near here in the
spring
Council also passed a resolution
levying a 6-mill assessment for Other
city purposes. Two mills Of this will
be used in the road fund and the
other four mills is for contingent pur
poses,

there are but few fruit districts,
and these are small, where these two

Our climate and soil are both ideal,
our growers specialists, and so long
as we continue to give our orchards
the same good care and culture, and
to continue to improve our methods,
the trade will buy our apples, pay
good price, as they have during the
past three years, and continue to
say, as a large firm did in their last
letter to the Hood River Apple Grow

IL you VIII examine these ngures
you will notice that although the
acreage is now much larger, the
price during the last nine years-from
1897 to 19O5-is much higher than
during the six years-from 1891 to
1897. Strange, but true.
Consequently SO long as fruit grow
ers in any section continue to be di-
versified farmers and not specialists,
there is little to fear from that local
ity. Orchards will spring up and
drop out.
Let us note the peculiar favorable
conditions of Hood River as to prices.
Referring again to the above column
of prices-from 1897 to l90l-prices
we're higher than in 1903 and 1904.
Yet Hood River got much higher
prices in the past three years, as you
all know.
Let me impress upon you the fact
that Hood River grows the two high.
