BEAVER DAM.

Cattle and hogs short
ON the Valley. Around
the Valley the amount of
cattle at this time on feed is small
compared to former years, and
tere are but few marketable hogs
and not many young hogs that are
natives. Most hogs on feed are
shipped here from the south and
west. and when climated make
good ruStlers aud feeders. or
course the choice of any breed is
a matter usually of fancy, yet we
notice in this part of the country
the DurockS. or Red hog, are
coming in favor, claiming they
are of more prolific strains and
the best money makers.
Since our unexpected snow
storm not much is being done or
the Valley. OF course we must
criticise our Legislators, also Gov
ernor Hadley. Many think the
five million dollar capitol propo-
sition is just a little stout in our
Legislators. Others think Grand
Old Missouri is worthy of it..

ion the three million dollar prop
osition suggested by Governor

BITTER ROOT VALLEY
ORGANIZES UNION

G. H. Sproat manager OF the Apple
Growers' Union, returned Monday
morning from Missoula, Montana,
where he had been to deliver an ad-
dress before the apple growers Of the
Bitter Root Valley who will organize a
selling union with methods identities
with the local, selling organization. Mr..
Sproat said that the meeting Of the
orchardlsts of the district Saturday
night was we'll attended. A commit
tee, composed of three of the represen-
tative growers of the Bitter Root coun-
try, were here two weeks ago to inspect
the local plant of the union and TO con-
fer with its officials. They were SO
impressed that the action of establish
ing a similar institution is the result.
The new union will have a capitaliza-
tion of $50, 600 and viii begin with 35
members.
The Bitter Root Valley promises to
become an excellent fruit growing dis
trict. Its area Is more than twice as
big as that of the Hood River Valley.
A large acreage of young orchards is
being set.
MIR. Sproat says that Missoula has a
population Of about $4,000 inhabitants.
Its streets are paved and we'll kept and
the town has an excellent street car
service. The business district is made
up of solid business blocks. "All in
ALL" he says, 1T is one OF the best
cities in the State of Montana. The
State University is located there.

MASONS PLAN TO BUY
ADJOINING PROPERTY

The local Masonic organization has
secured fan option on the lot OF Mrs.
Mary Savage adjoining the property on
which is situated the Masonic Hall and
which fronts on Third street. 1t is
found that the present nall room is too
small for the meetings and the old hall
cannot be satisfactorily remodeled.
Having under consideration this 1pur-
chase, at some future time, when
funds are available, is proposed to
erect an entire new structure. This
will allow a heating plant to be in
stalled for both buildings, and it is
planned that an alley be left through
the block, which will give more con-
venient way for placing coal or wood
in the buildings At present, it is
necessary to carry these articles
through the store rooms underneath.
A part lof the adjoining wall Of the
Stewart Hardware & Furniture Co.
may be secured at reasonable figure
and it is thought that f.. l.. Smith will
fill out the twenty feet on his lot and
that party wall arrangements can be
made with him.
These considerations make the pur-
chase of the lot very desirable. The
matter is in the hands of committee,
the members of which will report at a
special meeting to be called Saturday
evening, September l6.

PIONEER MERCHANT
PASSES AWAY

Geo. p. CrowelI, an early settler

chants, succumbed Tuesday morning

j., in 1889, served through the Civil
War in.Company d, ofsthe Eighth New
Jersey Regiment. After the war he
located in Morristown, Tenn.
Development of the Northwestern
country had scarcely begun when Mr.
Crowell arrived on the Coast. His
first few years here were spent on
Government.suryeys. ..He accompanied
Il. l.. Smith on the survey of the
boundary line between Canada and the
United States and later in surveys in
different parts of Oregon. Mr.. Smith,
soon after the surveys were made, es-
tabished one of the first stores in the
Hood River Valley and Mr.. Crowell
wa one of the first clerks. He later
purchased the store from A. s. Blow
ers who bought it of Mr.. Smith. He
retired from the business a number Of
years ago.

COURT Il AIRS
WAzER TRIAL
JURY CHOSEN TO SET VALUE
Judge Bradshaw Holds Special Session Of
Circuit Court Expert Witnesses
Submit Testimony.

The beginning of the last steps of the
city government toward a municipal
water system was Tuesday, when the
trial for the purpose of condemning
the water plant of the Pacific Power &
Light Co., which was formerly the
property of the Hood River & Light
Water Co. and which at present fur
nishes the city syithkits water supply.
Tuesday morning Judge w. l.. Brad
shaw, OF The Dalles, called a special
session of circuit court for the eonsid-
Grafton of the case. Until late hour
Tuesday afternoon the time of the
court was taken in impaneling a jury
to weigh the testimony of the experts
of the parties to the case and place a
valuation on the plant. The following
citizens of the Valley were chosen as
jurymen: f. f. Matt, j. P. Hansen,
J. o. Eastman, +. G. Stout, X. B.
Lindsay, 7. Bishop, G. w. Reed,
Joseph Frazier, Jr., Clint Wood, r.
Veter, .. l.. Walter and Martin Drag
seth. The attorneys for the city are
Judge A. j. Derby and Jesse Stearns,
of Portland. John A. Laing, Harrison
Allen, Harold w. Strong, Portland
attorneys, and A. A. Jayne, of this
city, compose the counsel OF the defend
ant company. The sessions of the
court are attended by many Of the cit
izens of the city, who are interested in
the outcome. All hope for speedy
settlement Of the matter. because of
the fact that the delay of constructing
new water mains, the proposed plan of
the city government, as soon as the
competing plant comes under its con-
troll, retards the work of paving the
recently graded streets within the fire
limits of the city. BY an agreement
entered into between the parties to the
suit the case will be appealed no fur
ther than the Oregon Supreme court.
As soon as the jury arrives at ver-
dict, the city will assume immediate
control of the water plant and receive
the revenue therefrom. The existence
of the competing system have made
practically unstable the 800. 900 issue
of water bonds, which have been ad-
vertised on number of occasions.
However, with the adjustment of the
matter by the trial, the bonds will be
taken by Morris Bros. of Portland, and
thescity will be enabled to Immediately
begin carrying out the long contem-
plated plans of the construction of a
municipal water system.
The taking of testimony from expert
witnesses was begun Tuesday evening
and continued throughout yesterday.
Expert witnesses for the city are Lewis
G. Kelsey and A. 4. Taylor, OF Port
land. A. l.. Adams and j. G. Kelley,
also of Portland, have made examina,
tions and estimates of the plant and
will testify in behalf of the Pacific
Power & Light Co.

they would not be able to use the cart

hose was necessary, when their cart
carried only 300. They used the cart
of The Dalles Department and would
