look over the valley and its peoples
These folks should be made to feel at
home and welcomed in way that will
make them want TO stay among us and
help to develope this country. When. a
stranger comes into your place Of busi-
ness or happens onto your ranch, an
swer his questions cheerfully and
make him realize that Hood River is
the best place on earth because If you
don't tell him he is liable TO find it
out for himself and think that you had
been living here all this time and did
not know it. Of course, Secretary
SKINNER meets a lot Of the new peo-
pie and the real estate men meet
good many of them but they really
like to get away from the professional
boosters for a few minutes and hear
the same good news from the citizens
who are living out their every day life
right here in the valley of apples.
We are always glad to have the
strangers drop into the Glacier office
and we will tell them what we can
about Things. We are never too busy
to do little boosting.

Another young Mosierite has sud
denly sprung into prominence. James
A. Sturgess, who has resided in Mosier
for the last eighteen years, has de-
cided to follow up the vocation of a
real estate agent, and has accordingly
opened up offices in the Bulletin build
ing. -Mosier Bulletin.
At first we did not guess but that
the Mosier man had made his spring
into prominence by marrying the
daughter of Jesse James or inventing
a machine to make Hood River apples
while you wait. If going into real
estate were bursting into prominence
in Hood River, we have an average of
SO new prominent citizens every day.
Since MIR. Sturgess has liyed in Mosier
for lS years we are glad to learn of his
restoration to sight and hearing after
that long period Of darkness and
silence, in which he must have dwelt
to have kept out of the real estate
business.

Sweet Song Campaign.

The "Sweet Song Campaign" was
opened at the Methodist church Sum
day morning, with Prof. B. P. Stout,
of Pasadena, as the leading soloist and
central figure in the singing by the
chorus choir. The meeting Sunday
morning was well attended and seven
persons joined church at this service.
A woman's meeting was held in the
afternoon and in the evening the
church and platform which has been
erected was filled with large crowd.
The sermon in song by Prof. Stout
was very pleasing and a number went
forward at the evening service. The
meetings are being continued each
evening and will be during the balance
of the month. Rev. j. r. Parker, of
the U. B. Church, spoke Monday even.

DIR. w. C. Gilmore, of the Congrega-
tional church, spoke Wednesday even

OUTSIDERS BUY LIGHT
AND WATER PLANT

A blanket deed covering all the pro.
perty of the Hood River Electric
Light, Power & Water Company was
filed Thursday in the office of the
county clerk, transferring the power
and water systems of that corporation
to the Hood River Light Il Power Com
pany, corporation recently formed
by John d. Wilcox, Robert Smith, and
Writ Minor. of Portland, the considera-
tion in the deal being $ll2,000.
The new owners of the local public
service systems have held an option on
the plants for several weeks, and their
manager, Albert s. Hall. formerly sup
erintendent of the Hillsboro municipal
electric light plant and General Elec-
trio Co. employee, has taken complete
charge of the company's affairs. The
city 10 preparing to construct new
municipal water system, and an effort
will be made by the Portland capital
lists to sell the water plant to the city.
1t is their intenti0ntta further develop
electric power rights which they have
acquired on Hood River and IL is q
part of their project to build an electric
railroad through the Hood River
valley. Engineers representing the
eastern capital which the Portland pro.
moters are seeking to interest in the
electric line proposition, are expected
to arrive in Hood River the latter
part OF this week to investigate the
local situation.
The affairs of the old company have
been more or less tied up for the past
year in . series of lawsuits brought by
n. G. Evans, a minority stockholder,
who has gained several decisions
against H. F. Davidson, president of

SEE HERE. PENDLETION.

Over at Pendeton they are making
a big noise against the DIVISION OF
Umatilla county and creation of a
new county to be called "Orchard. f"
We-do not know the merits of either
side of the county division fight over
there, but we notice that they quote
z. A. Schiller and show that since
the creation Of Hood River county
his taxes on property here have in
creased Ola per cent. The Pendleton
people use this to prove that county
division will increase taxes. Mr..
Schiffiers's property in Hood River
is the frame building on the north
side of Oak street between Third and
Fourth, the only lot in the block upon
which a modern brick building is not
now being erected.
While the property of the Pendleton
man pays 60 per cent higher taxes since
the formation of Hood River county its
value has been increased at least 100
per cent. He paid $2750 for the lot less
than seven years ago, and it is now
worth $4,000 at a very conservative
estimate and we doubt if he would take
$l5, 900. His rents even in the old
building have probably doubled since
the creation of Hood River county If
they have kept pace with other rents in
town. One lot, belonging to the
First National Bank, in the same
block with Mr.. Sehiffier's property was
sold for So, 900 shortly after the crea-
tion of the new county and since then
has sold at $4,000 while it is easily
worth $4,000 today. Mr.. Schiffler's
taxes may have increased, but they have
not kept up with the increase in the
value of his property.
There is another. thing to be con-
sidered in connection with the tax
matter and new counties. Back in the
days when we sent our tax money to
The Dalles, we saw the last of most
of il then and we were building our
roads by popular subscription. But
now our taxes are bit higher and we
have entered upon a great road build
ing campaign. Macadamized roads are
being build from the city's edge out on
both sides of the valley and the roads
in remoter districts, which had not
been surveyed two years ago, are being
put in excellent shape. Mr.. Schiller,
nonresident, may not so much enjoy
seeing his taxes increased even
though he has been making five dollars
every morning by increasing the price
Of his porperty that much before
breakfast, but few of the residents of
the county who are paying higher
taxes and having the extreme pleasure
of seeing the money spent to increase
the value of their own property have
a very big kick to register.

LOCAL BERRIES
NOW ON MARKET

The first Hood River Strawberries
to be brought into the markets and
sold were delivered to Perigo & Son
Monday by F. C. House. The berries
were sold by the grocers to the Hotel
Oregon.
This first consignment on the mar
ket consisted of nine boxes, and the
following day the berries appeared in
full crates. UP until last night, the
Apple Growers Union had shipped
eight crates out of the valley, which
were the first berries to be shipped to
foreign markets this year.
Manager c. H. Sproat, of the Apple
Growers Union, said that the prospects
were that there would be great
scarcity of pickers this year and that
all the growers would do we'll to get
their wants in the way of help to
the union as soon as possible. He
said that the many Indians who usually
come to the valley for the berry pick
ing would probably not come this year
and if they did that they would be late
in the season.

AN OUTSIDER,S APPRECIATION.


1t was refreshing and reassuring
to us in the Hood River valley to read
the article by Mr.. Alfred f. Potts,
published in the indianapolis Star and
reprinted in the Glacier recently and
to see the highly satisfactory light in
which others see US. Some of US, who
live here in our little corner Of the
world unable to see out over the
beautiful mountains which surround
us and who are so enthusiastic over the
present prosperity and the propitious
prospect of its continuance in this
valley, pinch ourselves now and then,
wonder if we are waking or sleeping
and whether it is all as wonderful as
it seems to us. II is, we say, reassur-
ing to have our measure taken by
a stranger who is wealthy and wise,
who has seen much of the world and
who is o leader in his own community
and to learn that he was charmed and
delighted with the things he saw and
the people he met.
In this article, Mr.. Potts deals
particularly with the "Rahl Rah
Fruit Growers" as the men from the
various colleges of the country, who
have chosen to come here and raise
apples rather than enter into business
and professional lines into which the
university man generally goes, have
been characterized. The college men,
who are nearly all of them compara-
lively new comers in the valley, are a
most desirable addition to our popu-
lation and it is gratifying to see them
putting their shoulders TO the wheel
in way which makes sure that they
will keep up and even raise the high
standards Of fruit raising set by the
older inhabitants, who have made
Hood River famous.
There was one point in Mr.. Potts
article which might lead the person
unacquainted with the the valley to
believe that the "old settlers" Of the
Hood River valley were unprogressive
people, and that all the fame of the
valley and its apples as due to the col
lege men who have come in recently.
While Hood River, as every other
locality, has its moss backs, the "old
settlers" have been and still are
among our most progressive citizens.
Some of the pioneers who came here
and took up homesteads have raised
the prize apples and have been fore
most in accomplishing the Hood
River pack, which has become the
worlds standard for fancy apples.
|. While all the residents and orchard
lists Of the valley are doing their
part to help along the interests of the
valley, it is to the "old settlers" that
the great honor is due. To the men,
who first came and set out an orchard,
tended 1T without income for half a
dozen years, at time when they did
not have the assurance Of ultimate
riches which the cultivator of young
orchard now has, should be given the
great share of the credit which their
initiative and their faith in Hood River
deserves.

A Salvation Army captain plans to
solve the labor problem for Yakima by
making a trip through the east talking
among the laboring classes, telling Of
the opportunities for profitable and
pleasant work in the Washington fruit
district. He believes that through
his propaganda many dependable work
ing people in the crowded sections Of
the east would be brought to the
Northwest where the conditions and
wages are better.

the local company. Evans claims that
the sale of the corporaion's property
and the winding up of its affairs
is in fact an attempt 10 freeze him
out, and that the new comers have
bought a1aw suit. He contends that
the directors did not have his consent
to sell the plant, and that at the time
the option was given he offered TO
buy the plant at $l20, 900 or to take
over the stock of all the other share
holders on that basis of value. He will
probably institute proceedings against
Mr.. Davidson, who was the principal
owner of the old concern, and against
the new owners of the property.
