WHEATRIDGE won AT
BASKETBALL LAST NIGHT

In one OF the most roughly played
and loosely OBLIGATED games Of bas-
ketball ever Witnessed on q local floor
the Wheat Ridge team succeeded In
defeating the South Canon high school
boys at the rink Friday night by a
score Of II to 90. 5
The members OF the Wheat Ridge
team admitted that they played rough
~ and gave an their reason for doing
20 that they had played heavier teams
all the season and were obliged to do
20 in order to hold their own against
their opponents. Just why the officials
permitted running with the ball and
violent collisions to go unparalleled
was difficult for spectators to COM
prehend.
In rapid passing and general team
work the home organization was much
superior. as shown by the fact that
the ball. especially during the second
half Of the game, was at its end Of
the field most OF the time. In throw
ing fouls and getting neld goals the
Wheat Ridge boys showed the great
est accuracy and they rarely failed
In finding the basket when an oppor-
tunity was afforded. The visitors left
this afternoon for Salida where they
will play the high school team to-
night.

FORESTS CLAIMED TO BE
PROTECTION TO RESERVOIRS

One OF the most serious problems
confronting engineers today Ii the
sitting and destruction OF large and
costly reservoirs for the development
OF power. irrigation works, and other
purposes. Foresters have always
pointed out that forests exert bene-
ficial influence in lessening erosion
and sitting and that filling OF reser-
voirs can be prevented only by the
protection OF watersheds. A letter to
Forester Pinchot from J. B. Lippin-
colt, consulting engineer OF the city
OF Santa Barbara, California, throws
light on this subject. Mr.. Lppincott
writes:
1t was determined that the city
should excavate q tunnel through the
Santa Yne1 mountains back Of town.
This tunnel viii be 1880 feet long
and Is now nearly half finished. 1t
IL proposed then to build . storage
reservoir on the river. impound nood
waters and discharge them through
the tunnel to the coastal plain around
the city.
The one grave question was the
sitting up Of any reservoir that We
would build a. the river was very
muddy In 8ood. and samples OF flood
water sent to the geological survey
gave results that we're rather diseour-
aging. Consequently. the city bought
two reservoir sites 20 - to use the
second In case the nrst was destroyed
ultimately BY sitting. The city also
appealed to the forest service for as
slstancs. The Santa Ynes reserve was
created. private lands largely elm
mated from our drainage basin and q
vigorous policy was inAuguratsd By
the forest service to prevent area and
ovsrgrasing.

COncede Cakes Nomination.

Portland, Ore, March %. In vir-
tually coneeding the nomination ot
II. M. Cake, the Telegram says, in
part:
Attracting crowds that numerically
have been great surprise to every
one, II. M. Cake 10 touring the state
In behalf Of his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for United
States senator.
Mr.. Cake began his tour two weeks
ago aud has spoken practically every
night since that time Mr.. Cake made
many warm friends and large follow
ing during his campaign two years
ago when he lost the nomination for
senator by very narrow margin.
These friends and others who have
rallied to his standard during the in
tervening period are succeeding In
creating real enthusiasm for the aspir-
ant as he tours the state. At every
town In which he has spoken he has
been heartily received aud his ad
dresses have been heard by crowds
greater by far than usually gather to
hear a political address.
Mr.. Cake Is an able speaker, toroe-
full In delivery and wonderfully clear
In expression. His talks are unique
In that they differ so widely trom a
political harangue. He assails no one
nor does he resort to elimination of
any kind. He tells what he has to say
in clear logical way, a way that ap.
peals strongly to the people.
In each of Mr.. Cakes addresses he
has urgently insisted upon the Repub.
licans of Oregon remaining loysl to
their party. Fealty to party, he says,
is all that is necessary for Repuuli
cans to continue in the ascendency in
this state. He is an ardent admirer
Of President Roosevelt and In every
address has maintained that it ia to
the best interests to not only to the
entire people, but tho people of Ore
gon particularly, that the presidents g
policies be maintained. He Is strong
ly In favor of the reclamation work
that Is being done throughout the
state by the present administration.
Ii should be continued without abate
ment, he insists, and he also urges
that ample appropriations should be
made for the rivers aud harbors of
this state. The Willamette, he oon-
tends, should be opened to commerce
as far as the possible head of naviga-
tion.
One feature of Mr.. Cakes address
that invariably appeals strongly to
his hearers 10 his position with refer
ence to the election of United States
senators. Mr.. Cake believes Ia the
people and consequently believes In
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1908-03-26

the election of senators by the people.
He declares that II elected be will
support federal amendment pfovid-
ing for the popular election Of United
States senator's. In this connect on
he recites the history Of the public to
achieve this end. For years and years
various efforts have been made by the
people to elect their own senators and
be shows that there is a provision in
the constitution at this time for sc
doing.
This subject, however, according to
MI. Cake, is not the overshadowing
feature of the campaign. The election
of United States senator's by the peo-
pie must prevail eventually, but the
needs of Oregon and the maintenance
OF Republican principles should be
the topic instead.
Mr.. iCake's itinerary includes prac-
ticaIly the entire state. Local ma
chine politicians who professed ia
have little faith In his chances for
success are now thoroughly alarmed.
They see in the large crowds that are
fiocking to hear Mr. Cakes addresses
and in the attitudes of the different
newspapers thre ughout the state fa-
vorlng Mi. Cake, menace to the old
system whish they hope to perpetu-
ata

A Statement.

Hood River, Ore, March l6. 1908.
To the Editor
Dear Sir:-ln view OF the fact that
there has been various rumois circu.
lating throughout our tcwn and valley
concerning the holdings of the stock
of the Home Telephone Company,
beg to submit to you the following
statement:
That the first $40. 900 of the stock OF
this plant was subscribed and is now
held by the citizens of the town and
valley aud when the purchase Of the
Mt. Hood system was completed the
balance of the price paid to them was
$500, which amount was taken in
stock by the people of the Mt Hood
district and is now held by them.
The only stock held by people who
do not live In our own midst is the
amount given to the Central Cons rue
tion Company to complete the balance
due to them en- their contract, which
amounts to S2250. might slso add
that this stock was given to the Cen
trail Construction Company at their
own request instead Of making cash
pay yment.
This makes total of stock Of $40,
$50, o which the s2250 is the only
outside stock, the balance OF the
amount eeing divided among seventy
one shareholders right here.
Trusting that the above information
will be of interest to your readers
beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
G. Ii. Vaughan, Sec.
