HOOD RIVER AS IT
IMPRESSED INDIANIAN

Alfred F. Potts, a leading lawyer
and wealthy capitalist, of indianapolis,
recently spent several days in the
Hood River valley visiting Hoosier
friends and he was charmed with the
country and its life. Following are
the impressions of Mr.. Potts as they
were published in an illustrated
article recently in the Indianapolis
Star:
Out in the Hood River Valley, in
Oregon, they are unconsciously trying
out most interesting sociological and
economic problem. Perhaps it is more
like great play.
The scene is laid in a beautiful
valley sixty miles east Of Portland,
with mountains on every side, save
where the majestic Columbia breaks
through on its way to the sea. To
the south is the snowcapped peak of
Mt. Hood, to the north Mt Adams.
The sides of the mountains on the
edges of the valley are still covered
with the virgin forest.
In to this forest pioneers of new
kind have found their way college
bred boys whose muscles are aching to
achieve something in the development
of their country and their own careers !;
men who have broken away from the
fetters of city life, fled from the plans
provided for them in banks, offices
and stores, given up the idle social
existence, exchanged the privileges of

RIGHTS OF Way
ARE SECURED
EASEMENTS GIVEN FOR PIPE LINE
Merchants Petition Council for 0rdiaareo
Leading to a Safe and Sane
Fourth of July.

The city has now procured rights of
way for practically the entire length of
pipe line, from the City Spring to the
city limits, for the new municipal
water system. According to the re-
port which was made to the council
Monday night by G. L. Rogers, who
has been engaged in securing the con-
tracts for the pipe line right of way
from the person through whose pro-
perty it will pass, all except two or
three of the property owners have
given the contract allowing the city
an easement to run the pipe line over
or through their land. The few with
whom contracts have have not yet been
closed are persons living out of the
city but is not anticipated that there
will be any difficulty in securing their
easements.
In most cases the property owners
were paid 81 for the right to cross
their land as the pipe line would cause
a merely nominal damage to the pro-
perty. The engineers laid out the
pipe line with the idea in mind of
causing as little damage to the pro-
perty. as possible, but in some cases
of older orchards there seems to have
been slight damage, and the city will
pay several hundred dollars for the
right to cross these properties. The
whole cost to the city for the ease
ments from the property holders for
the right of way will be in the neigh
borhood of $1,000.
A communication was presented to
the council from the Merchants
Association asking that legislation
against the sale Of fireworks, which
will be in the nature of leading to
safer and saner Fourth of July. The
communication was referred to the
judiciary committee of the council and
that committee will bring in an
ordinance carrying out the idea of the
business men.
An ordinance was introduced provid-
ing for the grading and putting of
cutters on State street from Sixth to
Front. The ordinance which called
for a 40 foot roadway, leaving 20 feet
on each side of the street for sidewalks
was referred to the street committee.
The city engineer was asked to make a
survey and plat for the improvement of
State street between Sixth and Ninth.
In these three blocks State street has
28 foot macadam roadway on the
south half Of the street and also has
cement walks and curb on this side.
The sewer ordinance providing for
division passed final reading by
the. council. Bids were opened Mon
day night for the construction of a
sewer in division one, of district four
and were referred to the special sewer
committee. The bids received were
from X. d. Gould and d. j. Treiber.
An ordinance providing for weekly
meetings Of the council passed is final
reading as it does not go into effect
Immediately the council adjourned to
meet again next Monday night.
Councilman Brosius reported the
purchase by the city of street sprink-
Ter. A petition for shooting gallery
was referred to the fire and water
