COTNCIL ACTS WISELY.

The promptness and intelligence with
which the city council acted upon the
report of the water commission sub
mitted to them by the Civic League
should receive the hearty approval OF
all citizens who are anxious for the i'm
mediate and final settlements OF the water
question which has been harassing the
city for several years. The city fathers
took the only view of the report which
was possible, since it recommended a
plan directly contrary to the provisions
of the city charter. However, had they
been so disposed they might have wasted
much time in considering the plan and
allowed the matter to slide along until
the coming bond election, when many
voters, thinking that the scheme might
be practical, would have voted against
the bonds and possibly caused their
defeat.
As the matter now stands the question
has been disposed of finally and the citi-
zens are left with but one question to
answer at the election next week. That
question is whether they prefer that the
city go ahead Immediately and sell
bonds to bring in the water supply of
the city spring or that the city should
continue to worry along for an indefinite
period with the present impure and in
adequate supply of water.

DALLES SYSTEM PAYS WELL.

The municipal water system at The
Dalles is money maker. Not only
does 1t operate at small cost and
meet the payments of interest and
principal on the bonds, but 1t Is able
to aid in the other branches of the
municipal work. About year ago
when The Dalles issued bonds with
which to build city hall, the water
fund had $4,000 which was used to
purchase these bonds, since there
were not other uses TO which the
money could be put. All current
obligations had been met and the
term was not yet ended when another
batch of water bonds could be taken
up and cancelled.
The transmission of this water from
the mountains to the city 10 about
30 miles and the plant.at The DalIes
represents an Investment OF about
$500, 900. The water Is brought much
of the way In open creek. bitches and
fumes, which do not give a wholly
satisfactory supply of pure water the
year round.
The revenue derived by the city
from the water plant Is about s2l, 900
u year and 1t Is necessary to pay out
only S2Ui0 In salaries for superintend
ence. The superintendent, who has
charge OF the office, keeps the books,
makes collections, ETC., receives $50
month and the assistant OF "outside
man" who looks after the connections
and does a good deal OF actual labor
in that line gets $40 "A month aud iur.
nishes his own horse and buggy with
which to get about the city.
The Dalles is similarly situated to
Hood River and we have town of
about one-hat the size. Municipal
ownership of the water system has
been success at The Dalles and 1t
would be similarly successful here.
They have to bring their water nearly
six times as far as Hood River would
have to from the City Spring, but the
proposed transmission for the local
system would be pipe line and more
expensive. However, the cost of
municipal plant for Hood River will
be less than one-third of the invest
ment which The Dalles plant repre-.
sents aud the cost of operation will
at most be no more than in the neal
hY town.

FIRE RISK WOULD BE LESS.

With the introduction Of the muni-
cipal water supply into Hood River,
which will follow favorable vote on
the question of a water bond Issue at
the election week from Friday, the
fire risk In this city would be greatly y
lessened and a saving OF thousands OF
dollars annually should result to the
property owners on their insurance
rates. The system contemplated by
the city will of course hsve com.
plete system of fire hydrsnts in all
parts OF town.
The increased size of the reservoir
proposed by the city would give
supply which could be absolutely de.
pended upon for the lower part of the
city and would meet the most exact.
ing requirements of the insurance
companies. The present reservoir
holds but small supply, while
the reservoir of the municipal system
will have capacity of million gal
Ions with the added reserve Of 300, 600
gallons which will be In the l6 inch

0. R. & N. TO FEATURE
HOOD RIVER VALLEY

That the Hood River valley will
receive ample representation at the
Land and Irrigation Exposition
which is to be held in Chicago the
latter part OF this month, is evidenc
ed by the letter which Charles L.
EARLY, president of the Commercial
club has received from general pas
senger agent VIM McMurray, of the
Hartman lines, announcing that the
display of the o. Il. Il NJ, would be
devoted to the Hood River valley and
Mt. Hood. The local boosters bad
already arranged that carload of the
best apples of the valley picked from
the recent fair should he sent to the
Chicago show and now the railroad
comes forward aud will devote the
space at It's disposal to topographi-
cal and scenic representation OF the
valley and the mountain.
This district is extremely fortunate
in being selected by the Hartman
interests to be exploited at the exposi-
tion and it shows the high regard
with which this locality Is held in
the eyes of the rail way men.
This exposition is being widely ad-
vartlsed throughout the east and it
will be- tho greatest shnw of the sort
which has ever been attempted. The
object of the promoters OF the exhibit
has been to give the people an idea
OF the immense undeveloped resources
and opportunity in the western
country and Hood River with Its two
exhibits will thus be made one OF the
most prominent features of the whole
show.
Following is Mr.. McMurray's letter:
Portland, Ore, Oct. 30, 1909.
Mr.. Chas. I. Early,
Pres. Commercial Club,
Hood River, Oregon.
My dear Mr.. EARLY: Referring to
the U. d Land and Irrigation Ex
position to be held In Chicago, Nov
emher 20 to December 4. This will
be Que of the greatest exhibits of the
kind ever held in Chicago or any
other city and will be Of incalculable
benefit to the West. The Hartman
lines have secured section b on the
main floor of the coliseum, in which
bulldog in the Exposition Is to be
held, the space being 52X52 feet. This
is to be divided into four sections and
one of the sections las been reserved
for the Oregon Railway x Navigation
Company, and | am pleased to Inform
you that we have selected as subject
for our display, the Hood River Valley
and Mt. HoCd. The firm of Sosman
n Lands, Scenic Artists. of Chicago,
have been furnished With a copy of
the map which was especially drawn
for the Hood River booklet and from
this they will reproduce in the space
above mentioned, in II Typographical
and scenic way the Hood River Valley
and Mt Hood. Ibis exhibit will
give your city an valley line OF
publicity which should be very help
full.
Yours very tIuly,
VIM, MoMurrsy.
