concern has been able to pay operating
expenses and interest, although from
the report of the state rate commission,
it is evident that the water plant has
not been a great money maker and the
rates are rather nigh, which is account
ed for by the large amount of mains
and small number of consumers.
The Farmers picnic, under the
auspices of the Society of Equity locals,
held at Murrey's grove west of town
Tuesday, was attended by crowd of
at least 500 people and the outing
proved one of real enjoyment. The
weather was warm, making the shade
all the more inviting, and the refresh
ment stands did fourishing business.
The Edgerton band was present, fur
nishing concert music the entire day.
A program of entertainment started
with ball game between the Hanerville
and Hardware teams, in which the for
mer was victorious. Following a picnic
dinner an interesting address was given
by Dr., j. w. Long, national lecturer
of the society. Another ball game in
which the Stoughton team was pitted
against Hanerville strengthened by
others, was good game, Stoughton
winning only by score of to5. A
series of games and races finished the
entertainment at the park, while the
events of the day closed with a dance

CALL ELECTION
FOR WATER
JULY 70 DAY SET BY COUNCIL
Report Of Health Office Calls for
Quick Action to protect
City.

After the report Of the Health ON
Ger yesterday that the water SUPPLY
of the city was unfit for drinking
purposes or domestic use, the counct.
at its meeting Monday evening in
troduoed and passed its tirst reading
of an ordinsce calling for special
election July 26, to vote bonds in the
sum of 800, 600, to put in complete
system of water to te owned by tbs
city, from the Tucker spring.
The report of the Health Officer
Edgington is as follows:
Report OF Health Officer to Health
Committee;
The results of water from the
Batchelder and city systems from its
springs is herewith presented.
The colon bacillus mentioned in
the reports, has its headquarters iu
the colon of human beings 1t i.
present in many cases of typhoid
fever. Is also present in health. "a
form of fever called para typhoid has
many OF the symptoms of typhoid
fever in milder degree. The para ty-
phoid baoilli OF germ, when cultured
or plopagated, divides into several
toIms; one sembling the typhoid
bacillus, another the colon bacillus,
spoken of above.
For my own pant think para ty
phoid fever and typhoid are the same,
only one is milder than the other,
and the oontagion of the milder form
may develop in the second case into
a malignant and fatal form.
Finally, the state bacteriologist says
that the water from the Batohelder

cautions, and 1t becomes imperative
in our opinion that some definite and
positive action be taken without
delay to supply the needed affair.
1t Is with this thought In mind that
wa feel it our duty at this time to
suggest that steps be taken by the
City Council to provide complete
municipal water system, the source OF
which shall be forever free, rs near
as this result ID attainable, from con-
tamination of any kind. This is fur
ther evidenced by the citizens and
tax payers, in some considerable
numbers, who have expressed them
selves yer bally along this line.
Your committee has had prepared
by the City attorney an ordinance
submitting the question of the issu-
ance of bonds by the city to take care
OF the expense OF constructing and
purchasing rights of way for such a
system from .he Oity's Spring, to
the legal voters, being freeholders, in
said City, on the 2Sth day OF July,
1909.
Your committee respectfully pre-
sents the ordinance herewith with
the recommendation that 1t do pass.

The report of the Fire and Water
Committee was as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Com
mon Council of the City of Hood
River, Oregon.
Gentlemen-Your Fire and Water
Committee deem it advisable at this
time to report to your honorable
body that, in its opinion, there is
need for energetic action looking
toward supplying the City with ample
water for domestic use and fire pro-
lection. This is not a new PROPOSE.
tion gentlemen, of course, but the
necessity for a municipal system of
water works with sufficient capacity
to supply not only the present needs
OF the citizens of the city and furnish
ample tlre protection, for years to
come, the source of which shall be
beyond the reasonable possibility OF
contamination, grove more apparent
to your committee each day. This
necessity is aocentuated Ey the fact
that one of the springs within the
city limits, from which water is fur
nished to number OF families for
domestic use and irrigation, has
within the past month been pro-
nounoed by the State Board of Health
absolutely unfit for the former, of
such uses hy reason of the positive
appearance of colon bacilli therein.
Limited as is the area supplied by
this spring, 1t is without doubt ser
ious menace to the health of the city,
and the discontinusnce of the water
hardship to the people affected !;
since formulating the foregoing part
of this report, your Committee has
been made acquainted with the result
of the analysis of the water from the
city reservoir made by the State Bao
terioiogists which show positive evi.
denoe of the presence of colon bacilli.
This condition, of course, aggravates
and makes far more serious the sit
uation, and the city faces the posi-,
bility Of an epidemic from typhoid
fever brought about by the use, not
particularly of the Light 4 Water
Compauy's water but OF any OF the
water from any of the systems now
supplying the people of the City of

Hood River will hold a Straw berry
Festival on Friday, June IS, that will
surpass any event ever pulled off here
since the town has been ON the map.
This is no idle boast.
The programs for the day are not
entirely complete but what Is so far
known from the committees will be
given our readers. The Woman's
Club has charge of most of the work,
and it Is needless TO say that 1t will
be we'll done, and successfully car
ried out.
There will be an all-day reception
for the ladies and children held at the
Odd Fellows Hall, where out of town
guests, as we'll as those from this
valley, will be received and enter
tained, Luncheon will be served at
the Opera House from noon until late
In the evening, where those who wish
to partake of hot coffee, sandwiches,
berries, cream and cake will be served
at all hours and as much as you can
eat for 25c, Instrumental and vocal
music will be furnished at both halls
throughout the day.
There will be auto rides through the
valley for our guests, and base bali
game is being planned, but we are
unable to give the name of the out of
town team at this writing.
Mrs. Batchelder went to Portland
Monday and while there will consult
with Supt. McMurray, OF the D. X. X
N, in regard to the final arrangement
of the excursion from Portland to
this city on the eighteenth. The
company is sparing no money to
make this one of the largest excur-
sions. as we'll as the best, that has
ever been run into Hood River, and
the advertising that we will derive
from this festival " i'll be lasting, and
will long be remembered by those Wis
lting us.
The citizens OF Hood River should
turn out to this festival and epsecial-
" take luncheon, at least once during
the day, ut the Opera House. The
price is only 25c, which will go to
help the library fund. The library
found now amounts to over $235 and
with this festival 10 ought to reach "A
thousand, IL all will do their part.
rhe railroad company will give into
the library fund Hfty cents from
each ticket sold, which after paying
the cost OF necessary expenses, will
leave tidy sum. The berry growers
are coming to the front with offers of
tree berries for the event and shows
the right kind of spirit to have on
occasions OF this kind. Those who
have not already had a chance call on
the committee, who have straw berries
to donate, will have chance before
the time is ripe for the festival.
In our next issue we will be able
to give more OF the details.

viii Complete Neal Creek read.

j. X. Steele returned Tuesday from
a trip to The Dalles. Mr. Steele says
that work is to be ommenced today
on the Neal creek road, which was
stopped last fall on account of short
age of funds A seven mill tax was
levied this year to complete the road,
which will provide about 81, 100.
1t is thought this will be sufficient
aud the road will be ready for travel
some time this summer. The new
grade will out out both the StIaights
and Booth hills, giving good easy
grade to the upper valley, besides
shortening the distance.
