MR.. FRIDAY DEFENDS
WATER GRADE ROAD

TO the Upper Valley Progressive AS
sOciation, Parkdale.
A group of about twenty men met
January at Hood River and agreed to
promote a wagon road from Hood River
to Tucker $ Bridge and from the mouth
of Neal Creek to the Mohr or Wonna-
cot Bridge. This road would be used
by all who travel the Neal Creek Road
to town on the East side of the Valley,
and by all who now use the fuckers
Bridge and 90 to town by the West
Side. Starting in at the Tucker resi-
dence where the two County roads
meet This new road will be laid out
to run down hood River, across OdelI
Creek below the Vanderbilt and Egg
CERT places, across Neal Creek and
then down Hood River on an even
grade into town. The Neal Creek
branch will join this road at the mouth
of Neal Creek.
On last Monday evening rs the Mt.
Hood train was passing down the Val
ley to Hood River, there were four men
on the train, apparently all from the
Upper Valley. One of them was very
busy and 2ealously urging the others
to oppose this road on the ground that
was premature, and that the Parkdale
people did not want to be taxed for the
construction of this road. was not
there or | would have joined in the dis
cussion and defended the project.
But | want to say now that | have
lived here ten years, and during all
that time, or any time previous, there
has never been anything launched that
will help the Upper Valley as much as
this road with its two branches. Gen
tlemcn, you will always find some one
opposing good roads heading for your
valley and the opposition will always
have plausible arguments against these
roads. The road that we propose will
have no grade in it sleeper than 3. %
per cent and that is short distance up
Neal Creek. The present East Side
grade is 50 per cent and some places 10
per cent. The top of the Carter Hill
is 40 feet higher than the WonancOt
or Mohr bridge. What is the sense in
climbing over "A hill like that and over
"A grade like that in travelling from
town to your country? If you go by
the West Side, you climb II per cent
grade at the Unitarian church in town
and 10 per cent grade on 18th street.
Does it not seem ridiculous and fool
ish for people to blow and boast about
their enterprise while they are using
grades like these Tor business? | do
not know how others feel, but feel
ashamed of community that will
travel over these gra es, when they
can have from one per cent to four per
cent instead. | do not know all the
people in Parkdale, but do know
few who are heart and soul for the
road. This will be the beginning of
road to the mountain, and it is up to
you. to help it along. We can ask
Government aid for it to construct it
into the Forest Reserve, which is not
needed right now.
There is timber enough destroyed in
Hood River County some years to ten
times over build this road This is the
automobile road to Portland. The
Portland people want it, the forestry
department ought to have it now, and
instead of kicking about it, we ought
to be asking our congressman for Gov
ernmcnt aid to construct il through the
forest reserve.
Yours for Good Roads,

THE CRESCENT.
Legend Of lite Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.

Legend of lite Adoption as an Emblem
by the Turks.
The crescent has been known since
time out Of memory. In ancient my
thology 1t decorated the toreheads Of
Diana and Of Astarte, the Syrian We
nus. In the days of Romes greatest
glory the ladies wore It as an orna-
ment In their hair.
Since the foundation of CONSTANT
nople, the ancient Byzantium, It has
been the emblem Of the city and as
Tuch adorns It's walls and public build
ings, besides being stamped on its
coins and postage. The legend which
accounts for Its universal adoption IN
Turkey, and Constantinople in par
ticular, Is as follows:
Philip Of Macedon laid siege to the
city In the year $40 b. G. He chose a
night of unusual darkness for the pro-
posed assault, but was foiled by the
moon suddenly breaking from behind
a cloud. In cOmmemoration of this
providential dellverance the crescent
was adopted as the symbol Of the city.
The Mohammedan sultans were slow
to assume. this emblem until some one
mentioned that It was the symbol Of
increasing greatness, power changing
as rapidly as the phases Of the moon.

The federal homestead laws begin
with the act Of 1862, now part Of the
United States revised statutes. Their
policy Is to give portions Of the pub
lie lands to those who will settle, cul-
tivate and make permanent homes
upon them. Any person who is the
head Of n family or who is twenty-one
years Of age and is citizen Of the
United States or who has filed his
declaration Of intention to become such
may acquire tract Of unappropriated
public land not exceeding 100 acres,
on condition Of settlement, cultivation
and continuous occupancy as home
by him for the period Of FIVE years
and the payment of certain moderate
fees. 1t Is expressly declared that no
lands acquired under this statute shall
in any event become liable to any
debt contracted prior to the issuing Of
the patent therefor by the government
to the settIer.-New York American.

IT Is NOT WORTH THE PRICE.

The special election called for the
purpose Of deciding whether or not
the city shall pay $38, 900 for the pri-
vate water plant, will be held next
Saturday, January q. Every free
hold voter in the city should go to the
polls and vote Because the plant has
changed hands two or three times in
the past year should make no differ
ence in regard to the value of the
plant. If you are unwilling to pay
this big price for plant which will
have to be abandoned as soon as a
new stysem can be built, vote NO.
The claim made that the earning
power of the plant should determine
its value rather than its physical con-
dition, should be taken into cOnsidera-
tion only for such period of time as
the present water plant would be used
if purchased by the city. The conten-
tion that it is worth in the neighbOr-
hood of $iO,0 900 to the city to secure
peace and harmony may have some
merit, but it is a bad precedent to
establish that any set of men may
blackmaiI the city by securing and
holding public utilities aud forcing the
city to buy them out at any price
asked, in order to establish 'har-
mony."
II is an American characteristic that
will pay "millions for defense, but
not cent for tribute. Yet, even
the most radical supporters of the
move for a new municipal water sys-
TEN are willing to pay some tribute to
eliminate competition, but not in tn,
neighborhood of $40, 600. If this amount
were cut in two, we believe the owners
Of the private plant would get all they
are entitled to, and it is the belief Of
many that if the price of $3S, 800 Is re-
jected by the voters, the plant will be
offered at less price.
If the advocates of the above price
for the private water system cared as
much for the peace and prosperity OF
the city as they do of giving the pri-
vate owners an eXorbitant sum for n
water system which must he abandoned,
they could secure this peace and pros
perity by aiding the council in putting
in an Independent system first and then
treat with the private company for its
plant at its real worth.
Vote NO on the question at the polls
Saturday and the plant can be bought
for price not SO much in excess of its
real value.
