FEDERAL FORCES WILL UNITE
United States Circuit Court Clerks
Office to Be Abolished.
DEPUTIES WILL BE RETAINED
When offices Are Merged George II.
ThummeI WIN Be only One to
Lose JOb--He IL Undecided
rs TO what He VIII DO.

OFFICIAL announcement OF changes to be
made when the United States circuit
court clerks office is abolished on Jan.
uary l, is expected within the next few
weeks. Tentative arrangements have al
ready been made to retain the force OF
deputies now employed in the office OF
Circuit Clerk George IL. Thummel. He
is the only official who will lose his
Job when the circuit and district offices
are merged. Mr.. Thummel has not yet
made up his mind as to what he win do
after the first of the year.
Though the circuit clerks office will
be abolished, the volume Of federal
court business will not be decreased. The
result will be that District Clerk r. c.
Hoyt, upon whom will devolve the hand
ling Of all business formerly coursing
through the channels of the circuit clerk s
office, will be compelled to more than
double his office force.
Entire Force Remains.
1t has been concluded that the best
available deputies are to be found In
the circuit office as It is conducted at
present, and it is unofficially announced
that the entire circuit force will be en-
gagged. This force consists of Chief Dep
uty Clerk John Nicholson, Deputy Clerk
Susan S. Hills and Assistant Clerk Alice
r. Chase. Mr.. Hoyts deputy clerk is
Florence L. Moore.
When the change is made all of these
deputies will be merged into one working
force under the clerkshlp of Mr.. Hoyt. 1t
is planned to combine all the offices,
which are now located in two different
parts of the federal building, into one
suite. Toward that end the rooms now
occupied by Clerk Hoyt will be abandoned
and he will move into the offices now
occupied by Mr.. Thummel. Two addi-
tional rooms adjoining the present circuit
offices will be occupied under the merger
arrangement.

FISHERMEN OBJECT
TO USE OF GILL NET

Showing their legal authority under
licenses secured from the state govern
mcnt, f. A. Greenman and j. +. Cam
eron have been operating gill nets in
the Hood River near this city. Local
devotes of the rod, who find great
pleasure in fishing in the beautiful
stream for steelheads and salmon
trout, declare that this is the first
time nets have ever been used in the
local stream. If they are allowed to
continue in use, it is asserted, Hood
River will be ruined as a fishing
stream.
The matter has been taken up by a
number of the more enthusiastic of
local fisherman, who will interest the
local organizations, such as the Com
mercial Club, and the condition of the
stream will be presented to the State
Fish Commission. which will be asked
to close Hood River to gill nets by
declaring it spawning stream.
Mr.. Greenman when seen Monday
morning about the maintenance of the
nets, stated that he and his partner
had been fishing in Hood, River with
them. while our license gives us the
privilege of fishing by such means in
the Columbia and tributaries, we have
realized bat little profit from work done
in the local stream. and it is proba-
BILE that we will soon remove our nets. "
The Hood River and its tributaries
are favorite spots for Northwestern
Nimrods during the Spring and Sum
mer months. Sportsmen Weed with
each other during the past Summer in
an endeavor to land the championship
steelhead, large specimens of which
are caught as far out as Lake Branch.

Big Plant Covering a Great Ground Space
Will Be Erected Near Van Horn

Although we have not vet fully
worked cut the details of our plan, "
says NJ. NJ. Hin, president Of the Hood
River Banking & Trust Co, and one of
the members OF a group Of East Side
orchard men, who will Incorporate for
the purpose of erecting a large storage

nitely decided to incorporate and go

A. w. Peters, +. K. POOley, r. r..
Deem, G. L. Smith, W. r. Sharrett and
h. l.. McClain, met in the rooms OF
the Commercial Club Tuesday after
noon, in order to talk over and perfect
their plans.
The acres of bearing orchard repre-
sented in the association are among
the best of the Valley. While the
height Of the proposed structure and
its detailed plans have not been
worked out, it is understood that it
will be thoroughly equipped not only
for storing the apples but as a packing
house. The ground dimensions Of the
new building measure 275 feet in
length. One end will be 100 feet wide
and the other Sc in order TO follow the
line of the railroad siding. 1t will be
erected just south of the Van Horn

The members of the proposed corpor-
alton own bearing orchard aggregating
more than 500 acres. The building
they propose will be great addition
to the Valleys storage facilities.

u. OF 0. CLUB PROM
ISES FUN TONIGHT

When the thirty lads in the Univer-
sity of Oregon Glee Club face the foot
lights in the Monroe Opera House to-
night the people of Hood River will
witness concert which is heralded
from Portland and the Southern Ore
gon towns as the best that has ever
been presented by Glee Club of the
State University. Melvin Ogden, the
director of the Club has revolutionized
tie program this year by doing away
with the Mandolin Club and adding
several humorous skits and more col
lege songs in its place. There are
three sklts on the program entitled,
'Mr. Crane Visits Oregon. Birds of
a Feather, and "Maid for a Night. =
In these such veterans on the Club as
Burns Powell, Melvin Ogden, Raphael
Geisler, Vernon Vawter Glen Store,
and Jerry Martin take the leading
roles. Never since the days when
Buck" Kelly strobe before the foot
lights in the role of stuntman on the
Oregon Glee Club has there been such
an all around stuntser as Melvin Og-
den. His imitation of Schuman Heink
and his illustration on the piano of the
depredatons of Jack Dalton, the ruff
fan, are worthy of any professional.
Lou Henderson, of Hood River, who
led the Oregon Glee Club for four
years and Roy Kelly also former
member Of the Club, and Reymurd
Early, who has just returned from the
University for the Holidays have been
actively boosting the Oregon Glee Club
concert and it is expected that the
usual capacity house will greet the
lads in their performance tonight. One

The patrons of the Pine Grove
Grange hall will all be sorry if they
miss the exhibition to be given by the
Big Company there tomorrow night.
Indeed, some of the members of the
local audience of Tuesday night assert
that they are going out to the Grange
hall, to witness the performance and
hear the Valley orchardists laugh. And
laugh they will for the fun of the per-
formance is side splitting. The stunts
Of the Friedlanders are excellent,
and you sit and hold your sides with
your hands while you listen in salts
faction to the exquisite musical selec-
tions of the Clayton sisters.
From the time the curtain rises until
the appearance of the ghost in the last
act the performance is brimful of
clean, wholesome fun. Both Clayton
sisters are excellent musicians, one of
them entertaining the audience with a
cornet solo and the other with violin
selection. The show is concluded with

lander plays well the part of negro

IniunctiOns Tie Up Hydro Company.

The Pacific Power Il Light Co. has
secured through the Federal court two
injunctions against the Hydro Electric,
the papers of one Of which were served
on N. c. Evans. president of the com
pany, Thursday morning and the other
Friday eve ling by a deputy United
States marshal. The first temporary
restraining order prevents the new
company from stringing its wires
along the county road and into the
city over the Pacific Company's lines
and the second is to prevent the Hydro
from turning on its power. The in
functions are based on the grounds
that the Hydro Electric Company S
lines If allowed to be strung above the
high voltage lines of the Pacific Com
pany may cause serious damage TO the
latter company.
In order to hamper as long as posi-
BILE the efforts of the Hydro company,
the Pacific Company has secured as
great a postponement as possible OF
the hearing of the suit
A great number of Hydro Electric
contracts call for supply of energy on
January |. The orders will invalidate
contracts. However, the local patrons,
who strongly favor the Hydro Electric,
have with but two exceptions signed
renewal contracts,

order to get an expression of opinion.
