The Hood River spirit is akin to
that of Seattle Every resident Of
Seattle has a good word for their
town. This is as it should be, and
especially applies to HooL River, for
there is no place in the Northwest
where safer investment can be
found, and if each resident would
devote little time to his friends the
population of the valley should double
in the next year.
We notice that there is to be an
election in the water district over in
the Barrett and Crapper sections on
Saturday, the 18th inst, to deter

section for irrigation purposes. This
appeals to me as being very import
ant question, as touching the future
of that section. There need be no
question to establish the benefits de-
rived from water, the only question is
as to practical solution az to the te
method to adopt. 1t is my opinion
that the bonding system is the cor
rect one. Then, under proper ecC-
