BIDDLE URGES IMPROVEMENT
Recommends Better Bathing and
Ventilation Facilities.

Engineer Commissioner Biddle yester-
day recommended that better bathing IA
cihties be provided for the members of
the fire department. as well as an i'm
proved system of the heating and venti-
lation Of their quarters. Referring TO 4
report Of the annual inspection Of the en-
Eine houses recently made by a commit
tee composed Of T.. b. Huyck, W Riley
Decide, and L. S. Fristoe. Col. Biddle
said.
From this report it would seem that
although the fre-engine buildings. as well
as other District structures. are not kept
in perfect state OF repair this IS due
TO the inadequacy of the appropriations,
and, moreover, 10 the necessity which
has arisen of using part Of the funds
allowed IN making additions
The main cause Of poor ventilation is
due 70 overcrowding- Ii would seem de
sirable. in view Of the fact that ali chem
ical engine houses will probably eventu-
ally become regular, that even when a
chemical engine is TO be installed build
ing of sufficient size should be con-
structed. "

damage on all Of the first four floors,
the other six remaining absolutely n

a large lumber yard across the street
escaped although everything adjoining
was burned to the ground. Messrs.

delivery to customers will be resumed

GOOD PROSPECT FOR
VINEGAR FACTORY

Last fall one OF the Jones Bros, OF
Loui isville, KY, was here looking up
location for vinegar factory on
the coast, and made a proposition to
Hood River to establish branch
house here, and turn over all theiI
Pacific Coast business to the Hood
River branch. They asked Hood River
to subscribe for $40, 600 of stock, which
would be per cent preferred stock.
1t was roo late last fall to handle the
1905 crop of fruit, and Mr.. Jones re-
turned home before anything was
done.
Last week Ii. F. Davidson received
letter from Sam p. Jones, of the
same firm, saying that the writer
would be in Hood River soon, and
wished to again take up the proposi
tion. He made inquiries about loca-
tion, ETC., and indicated that he was
ready to do business.
Saturday W. f. Ripley, Of Denver,
Colo, was in the city, looking up the
matter of putting in plant that would
not only make vinegar, but fruit
wines, cider, preserves, and canned
fruits. He has been putting In plants
at several places In the west, and said
that he desired to put In one here.
He has just completed plants at Union
and Ontario. He was not ready to
make definite proposition, but said
that he ould return soon and lay the
matter before the Commercial Club.
A plant of the latter kind would be
of more value than one for making
vinegar alone, as it would handle all
of the by product Of fruit In the val.
ley, and would be in active operation
more months of the year. At the
same time the prestige of the Jones
company at Louisville would be very
valuable. They are experienced be-
yond question in the business, and
what Is very important, they have a
trade established that would make the
matter of disposing Of the product at
a profit certainty. Perhaps the
Jones outfit would also put in a gen
eral plant that would take caIe of all
lines of fruit.
With two firms competing for Hood
Rivers products, the prospects seem
very favorable for one of them locat-
ing here.

Apple Crop at Morrow County !,
Practically Killed,

Developments now show that the
fruit crop of Morrow county was bad
ly injured by the cold weather of last
month.
Fruit Inspector Harry Gun mings,
who recently made tour of inspee-
ion in the Butter creek country and
other parts of the county, informs the
Gazette that the apple crop Is prac.
tically killed. Cherries, pears, peach
es and other fruits are badly injured.
Many orchards will not have any fruit
at all and the fruit crop of the county
win be very short.
Mr.. Cummings states that none of
he trees we're injured to speak Of.
While the freezing weather killed
the fruit 1t will be of some little bene-
fit. The cold killed the San Jose
scale. Only in three places in the
county was Mr.. Cummings able to
find any scale. He says that the peo-
pie generally who own orchards in
this county are willing and anxious to
cooperate with the fruit inspector
to eradicate the fruit pests. -Heppner

MUST LIVE ON LAND
EIGHT MONTHS

Secretary Hitchcock has put all
homesteadeTs on the public lands on
notice that If they intend to complete
their entries they shall remain upon
the land continuously during eight
months of the IA months communication
period, is report that comes from
Washington.
Three decisions, all along the same
line, have been handed down by the
secretary in the past month. One
case came from South Dakota, an
other came from Nebraska, and the
third from Oklahoma. In all three
cases the entrymen had offered proof
with their applications to commute,
which was deemed insufficient as to
residence by the commissioner OF the
general land Office, whose opinion was
sustained by the secretary.
Under the practice of the interior
department homesteader may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered by the
applioation--that is he may take that
length of time to go upon the land
and build his house and start cnltiva-
tion.
The Communication period is fourteen
months from the date of entry when
the entrymen upon paying sl.25 an
acre for his holdings, and submitting
satisfactory proof of residence during
that period, may receive patent for
the land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the last eight months of
the communication period shall be those
of actual residence. On this point he
says that, "ln commutation cases the
law not only requires that 1T shall
clearly and satisfactorily appear from
thefproof that the bona ilde residence
was established within six months from
the date of entry, but also that the
actual residence upon the land has
teen continuous from tho time 1t was
established until the date of the max
ing Of final report.
In the Ceases recently decided the
proof Is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law Mt any time with
in the fve-year life of the entry.
1t is expected that when these do
oisions gain wider circulation in the
public land states, there will be IA gen
eral compliance with the law or else
"A lot of homesteaders will be.relin
quished. Developments along this
limo are looked for along tho eXten.
