JOSLYN'S CLAIM
FINALLY GRANTED

After waiting so years for the govern.
ment to pay him for the use of his farm
as a fort during the Indian outbreak at
White Salmon in 1855, the announce
ment was made on the day of his death
that E. s. Joslyn's claim Of $500 is to
be allowed at the present session of con-
gress.
The announcement comes through
press dispatches, dated Colorado CITY,
December 80. Mr.. JOselyn's claim
against the government for $500 was
for deprivation Of the use of the claim.
ants farm on the Columbia river in
1866, 1856 and 1857 During the years
of the mentioned time the claimants

the United States troops engaged in
suppressing an Indian outbreak.
In the half-century that has inter-
vened Joslyn has been engaged in push.

Joselyn died and the claim will be
paid to the widow.

farm is now the property of Judge A.
r. Byrkett at Bingen landing. Some
logs OF the fort constructed on this

Apples Bring $3.50 in New York.

A Chicago dispatch in the New York
Packer has the following to say concern
ing the arrival of Hood River Spleen
bergs in New York city:
1t sounds funny to talk OF shipping
apples from the Hood River section Of
Oregon to New York city, but that is
what has been done during the season
by Burt Van Horn of New Fame, N. Y.
Henry ID. Hayes, who has been down
in York state buying apples for G. H.
Weaver d Co. during the fall, and who
returned to the city day or two ago,
reported that he had shipped a number
of SpitZenbergs and NewtOwns to New
York city recently from this section for
which he realized $3.50 box.
Mr.. Van Horn is also a large York
state apple grower, but he seems to be
equally as well represented in the Hood
River section as he is in York state
where he has large orchards. He has
$50 acres planted there and finds the in.
vestment highly satisfactory. 1t is re.
ported on good authority that there are
some single acres in Hood River valley
that are making for their owners $1,000
at present.
Fancy boxed western apples seem to
have moved well on this market this
season, and it may be that in the future
Oregon and Washington as well as Col
oradO and New Mexico. are to be taken
into consideration as an important fac
tor in sizing up the apple situation.

Case Against Menefee Dismissed.

The case of Eastlund VS.. Menefee, Sex
ton, Robertson and Ward, in which plain
tiff sued to recover $4,000 damages for
alleged malicious prosecution, was tried
in the United States circuit court in
Portland last week, The case grew out
of the arrest of Eastlund i'll a criminal
action commenced in .his county in
June 1903, in which Easllund and others
were accused of larceny hy bailee
The defendants in the criminal action
hired team of Ward IL Robertson to
go to the Matoles river 4 to locate
timber claims and instead Of going to
the place agreed upon, they drove about
300 miles, making the trip in five
days, and there left the team and all
in the hands OF strangers and failed
to return it or pay for its use. They
were arrested on information filed by
District Attorney Menefee and after
wards, having paid for the use of the
team and all expences for its return,
they were allowed to go without bail
and before court convened the case
against them was dismissed.
Upon the trial OF the malicious pros.
ecutlon case yesterday, at the close OF
plaintiff s testimony, the court dis
missed the case. Judge Bellinger in com.
menting upon the evidence stated that
he thought there was not only robable
cause for the criminal proceedings but

was guilty OF larceny by baiee. Attor.

Mrs. J. F. Stranahan, who is visit
ing her parents in Aberdeen, Wash,
sends the Glacieran account of the pow
WOW and grand annual potlatch of the
Tillacum Hiyu Wawa club, as published
in the Bulletin of that city. Judging
from the extended writ-up, the club
must have had a HAS skookum time.
The Bulletin says:
"Besides the members of the tribe,
there were present Squaw Stranahan,
former member, but who is now we'd
ded to a mighty chief of tribe of Hood

The citizens meeting of the CONNER
cial club. last Wednesday night, called
to discuss proposed charteramendments
resolved itself into an open meeting of
the Commercial club, with President
Early presiding.
The chief question under considera-
ton was the extension or elimination
of the limit to which the city NAV 90
In bonding without special permission
from the legislature. The present bond
ing limit is specified by the charter as
five per cent of the taxable valuation
OF the property in the city of Hood
River.
+. l.. Smith called for expressions
of opinion from the members of the
city council. Mayor Flowers pointed
out that the present limitations of the
charter made it impossible TO raise
sufficient sum for most aly sort of pub
nc Improvement. lie favored eliminating
the limit entirely, and considered now
the proper time to get concessions from
the legislature. The mavor called upon
the citizens to express their sentiments.
Mr.. Smith said he was in favor of
raising the limit to TO- IS or even 20 per
cent of the property valuation, but
wanted limit somewhere.
Representative Jayne expressed be-
lief that there would be no trouble in
getting the charter amendment through
the legislature, and believed it could be
done without delay. He was anx.
Ious to do whatever q majority of the
lax payers desired in the matter.
A motion then prevailed to so amend
The city charter as to eliminate the five
per cent limit clause, and make it DOS
'lble for Iwo-thirds of the free holders to
bond in whatever sum they deemed
necessary for public improvements.
Mr.. Jayne was on motion instructed

pose.
1t was further moved and carried that
Representative Jayne be instructed to
Introduce an amendment to the city
'harter touching on the sewer question,
whereby an assessment can be made on

The chairman was then instructed to
appoint a committee of five including
himself, to draft the proposed amend
nents to the charter and to confer with
Representative Jayne concerning their
presentation to the legislature at Salem.

Municipal Street Cars.

The remarkable increase of trolley
systems in Great Britain within five
years has been attended by interesting
developments IN municipal ownership.
Of 1872 electric lines no lever than 81
are owned and managed by municipal
authorities. In many of the municipal
systems the tramway departments pur-
chase current from the municipal cleo
ric lighting station, and generally
the price charged is high enough to pro-
vide handsome profit to the lighting
department.
An interesting analysis of Blackburn
city tramways shows that for the past
year the loss amounted TO G5,l3S after
paying interest and sinking fund. Old
ham has a loss Of e. 1926, and at Hudders-
field the deficit amounts to E4,9O0. The
GLASGOW city tramways, whose general
manager is Mr.. John Young, has just
been secured by Mr.. Yerkes as general

Valley fruitgrowers still have $50 car

pose of awaiting better prices The
present price is 80 cents per box, which
means $4,000. Not over 25 cars Of APP
pies have been shipped this season as
the growers and buyers could not agree
on the prices, and as these apples keep
well they will probably hold them for
80 days longer.

Lewis and Clark Fair Notes.

Nebraska will have big display at
the Lewis and Clark exposition.
A Carlo street, and Asatic village,
and an exhibit showing the lie and Gus
toms of the japanese and Chinese will
be features Of the "Trail' at the Lewis
and Clark exposition.
Two freight cars, bearing the cream Of
Wisconsn's educational exhibit at st.
Louis, are on their way to Portland,
where the exhibits will be shown at the
Lewis and Clark centennial.
A most interesting feature of the
Lewis and Clark fair will be a miniature
reproduction of complete mine in oper-
alton, with its tunnel, shaft, hoist, cars
and track, drills, stamp mills, and camp.
On account OF the large acreage of
water at the Lewis and Clark exposition,
special attention will be given to water
sports. Mimic naval bait es, on scale
impossible at previous expositons, will
be held during the fair.
The Oregon territory, which Lewis
and Clark opened up to settlers hun
dred years ago, when they made their
expedition, which will be COMMUNICATED
at the Lewis and Clark fair, had popu-
lation in 1900 of 1898, AL. In 1890 the
population was only 747 ,524.
The Oregon Agricultural college cadet
corps is planning to march in body to
Portland, and camp near the Lewis and
Clark fair grounds during the exposition.
The cadet corps numbers 400 members,
and has besides band Of 80 pieces.
The Washington Agricultural college
also plans to send cadet corps, num-
bering 300, with a band of 80 pieces, to
the fair.

In addition to above expenditures,
the street C. mnssiOner has collected
and disbursed about 500 in street work.
In this connection wish to recommend
that in the future the commissioner
collecting such moneys turn them over
to the city treasurer and that they be
disbursed in the usual manner.
Liquor licenses in the past year
brought into our treasury $2400, that
will not be collected this year, hence
that amount less to expend on i'm
provements. ! would therefore recon-
mend that we observe the most strict
economy and that no indebtedness be
created unless it be by bond voted by
the tax payer.
The sewer matter is an important one.
| heartily favor the building of necessary
sewers and the municipal ownership of
water system. AS this is the Lewis
and Clark year, hundreds and thousands
of visitors will pour into our state, many
Of them coming to Hood River and If
favorably impressed, may locate with
us. | would therefore recommend and
request that every citizen of our little
city take hold and make his surround
ings as attractive as possible; not only
cleaning up the front, but the back
yards as well. This will assist very
materially in bringing about the desired
impression on our Eastern visitors, that
we are progressive.
would recommend further, that
this council assist the citizens in every
way possible in the promotion of their
common interest, maintaining if possible
the present high standard of morality
by the enforcement of the law. In
carrying out the foregoing recommend.
ations pledge you my earnest support.
Respectfully submitted,
A. S. Blowers, Mayor.
