RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF JUDGE
 MO MAHON.

MO MAHON.
 At a meeting of Good Shepherd lodge, No. 65, l. O. o. F., held Thurs day evening, August l6, 1906, the fol- lowing preamble and resolution was unanimously adopted:
 WHEREAS from the midst of our Lodge there has been removed one of it's most hOnOred members, Judge James H. McMahon, it is but just that we should pay that last respect to him which is enjoined upon us by virtue of long association and memories of his many benefactiOnS to it's members.
 Joining the Lodge in 1890, from that time up to the time of his lamented death, he always held the Lodge and its principles as sacred to him, as in- deed, his last written words so elo- quently, though silently. speak.
 Of his public career it is not neces- sary here to speak. Suffice it to say that there never was trust, either public or private, placed in his hands, consummate skill and fidelity to the people and his clients. Not only was he a good lawyer, but he was a good citizen.
 It is with him as a member of the Lodge that we now speak. In it's councils his voice was always raised for its betterment and the succor of it's members; his advice was always listened to with appreciation; and his teachings were accepted in their most benevolent sense; therefore though with sorrow we are compelled to bow to the inevitable, and shall never again be permitted to enjoy his counsel and his fraternity, we shall always hold his memory as green as the SpriRs deposit ed at the last sad rites, realizing that the same will come "once, only once, but surely once" to each of us, there foreJwith the utmost sorrow and re- gret, be it
 RESOLVED, That in the death of Brother McMahon the Lodge loses one of it's most valued and honored mem- be-s, whose memory will be held in the highest regard so long as Odd Fellow ship shall endure.
 RESOLVED, That these resolutions he spread at length upon the minutes of the Lodge, and copy be transmit ted to the public press for publication.
 Respectfully submitted,
 JOHN K. ADDS,

WASHINGTON SHUT OUT AT NEW MIL
 FORD.
 Washington crossed bats withNew Milford, last Saturday, ,and were defeat ed by score of 4 to 0. Both Marsh and Bruens pitched good games and not many hits were obtained off either. There was only one error in the whole game. The game was played fast and was interesting from start to finish. McNiff was hit by 8 batted ball in the eighth inning and was quite badly hurt, although he is recovering fast now. Washington plays two games with New MilfOrd,-Lalo day.

WORK ON THE SEWER
COMMENCED TUESDAY

The work Of excavating fol the new
sewer was commenced Tuesday be-
tween the Columbia River and the
railroad tracks. Page & Clark, who
are the engineers on the sewer con-
tract, have engaged Hall-Lewis to look
after their interests here while the
sewer is in course Of construction.
About 30 men have been placed at
work so far and it Is expected that as
soon as the pipe arrives that as many
men will be put to work on the job as
can be handled to the best advantage.
There have been number Of appli-
cations for work on the sewer by men
whose homes are here and 1t is under
stood that they will be given the pref.
erence. The work has been started
about l400 feet north of the o. X. d
N. station and is progressing quite
rapidly. The excavating will be the
most tedious part of the job, as once
the ditch is dug the pipe can be placed
in position very rapidly.
The pipe bal n t yet arrived and
until it does operations will necessar-
lily have to be confined to stalking out
and excavating,
The city chPrter makes the appoint
ment of an inspector to look after the
interests Of the city necessary, but as
yet no one has been selected. 1t is
thought that this provision will be
complied with in few days. The
sewer committee of council has the
matter under ADJUSTMENT and it is their
intention to select some one who will
be conversant with sewer matters and
competent to I'LL the position.

NO TALK But HERE
TO "DO SOMETHING"

When W. IL. Moore, of Portland
made the statement at the banquet
Saturday night that he intended to
'do something, considerable inter
est was awakened In the minds of bis
hearers. Rumors to the effect that an
electric road was to be built out the
west side from Hood River to Mount
Hood have been persistent for some
time and it Is thought that this is the
project of which Mr.. Moore bad in
mind when he made the above state
ment.
The proposed line it is said will 60
out the Belmont road, taking a course
that will bring it arountd by Barret
aud the planning mill of the Stanley
Smith Lumber Co., aud back into
town near the bank of the river
The lumber company Is also said to
be interested in the new line and If it
is constructed it is understood that it
will be made to conform to the stand
ard railroad gauge which will permit
the company to have railroad cars
hauled out to the planer and there
loaded. Such an arrangement would
give the lumber company an oppor-
tunity to market its dressed'lum Der at
great advantage.
Abundant water power could be oh
tanned from the nearby river for oper-
ating a power plant of almost any
magnitude, ard IL is thought that a
plant may be built at point near
fuckers bridge. rom this point it
is claimed that power 90 Id be distri-
buted to greater advantage than it
placed at either end of the line,
The ultimate destination of the line
is said to be Mount Hood, with the
view of handling tie local trade and

will be develored ~ the large amount

THE BANQUET.

That the enthusiasm and good win
manifested at the banquet given by
the commercial club Of this city was
gratifying TO its members goes with
out saying. That an affair of the inn
portance and magnitude OF this was
so successfully carried through speaks
well for the character and ability OF
the citizens of Hood River. Admira.
bly, planned there was neither hitch or
break to mar the pleasure and enter
tainment of the evening.
While the social side of the gather
ing was a pleasant feature the bust
ness side was Of course paramount.
The tendency of segregation is to-
ward selnshness and individualism
and IL is necessary to awaken most Of
as to the fact that there are other in
terests about us that should be OF
more Importance than mere personal
gain.
The remarks Of the speakers On
this occasion we're, we think calcula.
ed to make US forget ourselves for the
time being at least and remember tie
needs Of larger and better commun'
ity. Much can be accomplished by
intelligent organized effort, toward
the goal OF progress and prosperity,
while little can result from each one
trying TO reach il by pulling In 0
different direction.
The good feeling engendered at the
banquet cannot fall to have its impress
sion. The enthusiasm exhibited was
genuine and expressions Of good will
toward the club in its efforts to fur
ther develop the resources Of the val
Icy we're many.
The club and the gentlemen who
had the affair in charge are to be con.
graduated, the speakers are to Le
felicitated and the residents Of Hood
River should be pardoned II they hold
their heads tritie higher than they
did previous to the occasion.

A winning Text.

When the Duke Of 0rmond, whose
family name was Butler, was going ia
take possession as lord lieutenant OF
Ireland, he was driven by storm on
to the Isle of Man, where a Rev. Mr.
Joseph, poor curate, entertained him
as Hospitality as his means permitted
On his departure the duke promised to
provide for him as soon as he became
vlceroy The curate waited many
months in vain and at last went over
to Dublin to remind his grace of his
promise. Despairlng of gaining access
to the duke, he obtained permission to
preach at the cathedral. The lord lieu
tenant and his court were at the
church, but none Of them remembered
their humble host till he pronounced
his text, which, It must be acknowl
edged, was well chosen, "Yet did not
the chief butler remember Joseph, but
forgot him" The preacher was at once
invited to the castle and a good living
provided for him.

II, 0. Blanohar was granted a leave
of absence of two weeks during which
time Mr.. Stanley will have personal

The work of the Heart.

One of the most remarkable things
about the heart is the amount of work
1t does Considering the organ as a
pump whose task Is to deliver known
quantity Of blood against known
head" 1t is easy to show that in twen
ty-four hours a mans heart does about
124 foot tons of work. 'In other
words" says contemporary, '1f the
whole force expended by the heart in
twenty-four hours were gathered into
one huge stroke, such a power would
lift 124 tons one foot from the ground,
A similar calculation has been made
respecting the amount of work expend-
ed by the muscles involved In breath
ing, In twenty-four hours these mus
cles do about twenty-one foot tons of
work"
