LANGILLE REPLIESTO
FALSEHOODS IN news
Hood River, Feb. Ii, 1910,

Hood River, Feb. IL, 1910.
Editor Glaoier-A sentence appear
ing In the Hood River News OF this
date contains such glariug mis- state
ment of fact, that an immediate de.
nial of the same Is imperative, for the
good of the city as whole, IL for no
other reason.
The statement In question Ia the
following: Attention is called to
the fact that the the council has al
ready voted 7.mill tax for general
purposes and has also held special
election to authorize a levy OF another
tax of 6 mills for paying interest on
the bonds making ,tal OF l3 mills.
while provision In the charter that
has never been amended states that
the ooCncil may levy taxes not to
exceed one per cent, or 10 mills, this
amount being mills less than the
total amount necessary to provide TOR
both purposes.
Section 48 of the charter provides,
10 part, "The Common Council shall
have power and authority within the
limits Of the city of Hood River:
l. "TO levy taxes, not to exceed per
cent, except as otherwise provided In
this act, upon all the property. both
real and personal, within the oorpor-
ate limits of said city. :"
Alsu, sec. LOG, amended at the cleo
tion In March, 1909, provides, ="
The council may at the came time the
tax fol general expenses Is levied, levy
and collect tax not to exceed six
tenths OF one per oentum per annum,
as special tax for the purpose OF
paying interest on the bonds issued
for light and water systems. :"
AS matter OF fact the lsvying OF u
tax for interest purposes was spoken
of In a general way only, and the
statement that special election was
held, or even thought Of, Is one that
every inter ested voter knows has not
been done.
The council has In every instance
been careful not to exceed any pIovi-
sions OF the charter, works solely for
the benefit of the city az a whole, aud
even with the handicap of local pa
per addicted to malicious attacks and
misIepI Iesentations, will succeed in
securing for our fair city the improve
ments 90 much needed.
When questioned as to the source of
information from which the statement
In question emanates, the editor Of
he News referred to IAN attorney
whose study of the situation is sup
posed to give him correct information
on such matters

Hired Girl,s Residence.

In the case of United States VS. Eliz-
abeth Hochstetler, serial 02595, Boise,
Idaho, the General Land Office held the
entry for cancellation because of ''col-
orable cultivation, insufficient residence
and misleading final proof. " But upon
appeal the Interior Department ruled,
that since the defendant was an orphan,
was obliged to work out as a hired girl
and to help support an Invalid sister,
was delayed by the failure of the Gov
ernment to complete the Reclamation
Project, and in view of her good faith
and earnestness; 'it is not perceived
how benefit can arise to tho Govern
ment or to any person by depriving her
of the expenditures she had made upon
the land and defeating her hope of
moking the place home upon which
she can maintain herself by tilling of
the SOIL -
Accordingly the General Land Office
was reversed, the Special Agents pro-
ceedings dismissed and patent directed
to be issued.

Sheep on the Forest Reserves
Forestry Bureau Wants Conclusive Supreme Court De-
cisOn on Question of Right to Prosecute for Vio-
ations of Trespass Regulations.

Foreseeing endless litigation unsles
sheep raisers clearly understand the
full import of the recent decision of the
federal supreme court in the Grimaud-
Carajous case relative to grazing on
public lands, the American Sheep
Breeders association will publish an
explanatory letter received from For
ester H. l.. Graves. Mr.. Graves says
''As you may know, the defendants
were indicted by the federal grand jury
for driving stock on the national forest
reserves without permit. They demur-
red to the indictments on the ground
made is unconstitutional in that it un-
dertakes to delegate legislative power
to administrative officers. The courts
sustained the demurrers and the United
States appealed to the supreme court,
which affirmed the decision of the lower
court by an even division of the jus
tees, there being four for affirmance
and four against, the ninth member not
sitting.
No written opinion was rendered
and could not be in the nature of the
case, because of the division of the
justices. Being evenly divided, their
decision merely amounted to an afim-
ance Of the lower court on these par
ticular cases, without any binding force
in any subsequent case that may arise
for violation of the regulations of the
secretary governing grazing on the
national forests. 1t should be perfect
ly clear that if Judge Wellborn (the
trial judge had refused to sustain the I
demurrer and the defendants had ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court,
this decision would have been affirmed /
with equal force.
1T is the intention of the secretary
IF agriculture to request the attorney
general to bring another similar case
before the supreme court as soon as
enc arises, in the hope there may be a
,ull bench and that q final and authofi-
;ative decision of the court will be rem
Tered. Pending that time the supreme
'ourt renders such a decision, the reg
llations will continue to be enforced to
/ full extent as in the past, and no

INJUNCTION DENIED.
Court Says That Water Ordin-
ance Can BE Passed.

Judge Walters, who heard the argu-
ment in the suit brought by v V. Bow
er to enjoin the village council from
passing the proposed water franchise
for Richfeld has handed down decis-
ion denying the injunction. He finds
that on the evidence Mr.. Bower is in no
deadly danger even if the ordinance
should be passed; and that neither the
courts, nor any other power, have jur-
isdiction over the village hoard in its
proper legislative sphere, part Of which
is the making of ordinances; the only
exception being where such action
would cause irreparable loss or injury,
which was not here shown. This decis-
ion is strongly supported by authorities
The decision closes thus, after sug-
gesting that the proposed service con
nection fee of SIS is quite likely in CON
fiict with the statutes:
I'm short, l find the gist of decisions
to be that courts will not interfere with
unwise or indiscreet or foolish proposed
ordinances, whether they be unconsti-
tutional or absolutely void. OF course.

itants of the village want to be so gov

not interfere with the legislative de-
partment. However, it must be en-
phatically understood that courts will

dy to prevent and enjoin the operation
of illegal or void ordinances, and this is
all that can find is properly the pro-
vince of this Court in this matter
The demurrer to the complaint will
be sustained and an order will be made

Personal courage invests its owner
with a protection beyond that afford
ed by outside forces. An illustration
of this is recorded by Gen William
F. Draper in his "Recollections Of a
Varied Career where he gives this
incident:
In 1861 Col Daniels of the Seventh
Rhode Island became unpopular with
some of his command, and a rumor
spread that he would be shot at the
next engagement He heard of it.
1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Col Daniels took advan-
tage Of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward a suitable elevation, and TAX
ing position on the top of it, and
in front of them as at dress parade,

Needless to say, any man could
have shot him with little danger OF
discovery, and needless to say, also,
none Of them did. There were no
more threats OF that kind in his regi.

THAT ssIRoN MAN .
Recorder Linotype Delayed, but
It's Coming.

Carlton w, Tage, recently of Den
yer, but now transferred to the Spo-
kane district, was in Richfeld Thurs
day, to make final arrangements for in
stalling the Recorders new Linotype
typesetting machine. There was some
delay in shipping the machine fIom the
factory---it was hard for the Western
agents to get the car they needed for
this territory, as the great Brooklyn
factory is fairly swamped with ORDERS
and the machine win be about three
weeks later in reaching here than had
been expected.
But it's coming The Iron Man That
Does The Work. 1t should be in oper-
alton sometime in May. The Recorder
expects to do one of two things them
publish a great deal better paper with
the same work as now, or a consider
ably better paper with good deal less
work tnan now, in which case the Lisle
and Jones farms, and the trout in the
streams and the prouse in the fields and
the ducks in the lakes in the lakes and
sloughs, win have lot more attention.
The Recorder anticipates much pleas
ure in the coming of this machine. To
paraphrase an undeservedly popular
song, 1 Love To See My Dear Old Iron
Man Work." That's usl We fesl just

line engine running this Iron Man on

or three extra printers famishing for

time the Recorder reseats visions
for the near future.
Just now, the only really troublous
thoughts are: How shall we wait
whole month, and How Much subscrip-
ton money can be brought in to help
pay the freight and cost Of this high
priced assistant?
