An interesting and enthusiastic
meeting was held at the Presbyterian
church Monday evening, called for
the purpose of getting the voice of
the members and congregation in
regard to enlarging and re-decorat-

was appointed who will get estimates
of the probable cost of the improve
ments when another meeting will be
called and further arrangements
made. The Presbyterian church has
always been too small for any i'm
portant gathering and the anticipat-
ed enlargement, besides giving more
seating capacity, will lend a far more
attractive appearance to the interior.

CRAWFORD REN-
DERS OPINION
CITIZENS ASK STATUS OF RESIDENT
Judge CulbertSOn Criticized for Living in
Portland, Declares He is Living
There Only Temporarily.

At the request of a number Of citi-
zens, who are of the opinion that
County Judge Geo. d. Culbertson, who
owns property in Portland and who
with his family maintains a residence
there, writing 10 the States attorney
general, W. f. Hanson. has received
a letter, in which the attorney renders
an opinion that the removal of the
county official to MuItnomah county is
prima facie evidence that he has be-
come resident of that county and
that his successor should be appointed
here, unless the intentions of Judge
GGlSertson overcome the prima faee
proof, and establish FOR MIN & residence
in Hood River county. Since Tie
judges removal from the city his
action has created criticism and it has
been openly expressed by many citizens
that, since his financial interests are
outside the county, he should relinqush
the office.
The letter from Attorney Crawford
to Mr. Hanson is given below:
February 5, 1912.
Mr.. w. +. Hanson.
County Clerk of Hood River County,
Hood KiVer. oregon.
Dear Sir Regarding yours of the
lst instant asking concerning residence
of one of your county officials who
owns property in Portland and lives
there with his family. but makes
weekly visits to your county to attend
to his business. would say that am
inclined to think that such official is
not such a resident of your county as
to be entitled to maintain his Office
there. Section 3433 of Lords Oregon
avs provides that an official of
county ceases to be an nhabitant of
county and loses his right to keep his
office in the county when he leaves
such county and moves to another part
of the state with the intention of max
ing his home there. An inhabitant is
denfed by the authorities as being
person who has permanent residence
or domieiie in certain place. If your
county officer has left Hood River
county with the intention of making
his permanent residence in Multnomah
county, the office he previously held is
unquestionably vacant. However, he
may still maintain a home in Multi
nomah county, if il is not his intention
to abandon as his residence and habi-
tat, Hood River County.
1t is clearly "a question of what the
officials intentions are and although
his action in leaving your county and
taking up residence in Portland is
prima facie evidence of his intention,
still it is not conclusive.
Very truly yours,
A. M Crawford

NURSERY STOCK

Growing aud Selection of Nursery
Stock" was the subject Of lecture
Saturday night by G. d. Thomp. on in
the course on apple culture by the
educational department of the Portland
Y. M. G A. Mr.. Thompson has been
raising nursery stock 10 the Hood Riv-
er district for the past eight years, de-
voting himself principally to apple
stock.
"As the nursery stock is the tounda-
ton of an orchard, the same care
should be exercised said Mr.. Thomp-
son, as in the selection of the funda-
ton Of any other kinds Of business. 1t
is hoped that in time it will become as
an exact science as the breeding of
live stock. Nursery stock is the result

"At the end Of a year the nursery

roots in any way nor permit them to b,

EXPERT PLANS FIRST
OF YEARS WORK

Considerable injury to apple blossoms
occurred in a few small areas last
spring. Ii is evident that in these
cold spots orchard heating would give
more desirable results. In order to
determine where orchard heating may
be necessary | am asking more than
100 orchardists at well located positions
IN the valley to purchase minimum
maximum thermometers and record the
lowest aud highest temperatures dur
;"g April and May Since the ordinary
THERMOMETERS ..te ...te seldom accurate
have decided 10 ask the eo-operat0rs to
purchase the thermometers through
my office in order that the instruments
will all be tested and of high grade so
that all will record the temperatures
accurately. Prices of thermometers
have been received from firms manu-
featuring astronomical instruments
used bp the Weather Bureau and other
departments of the government ser
vice. For this experiment work good
discounts have been made. Each CO.
operator will share in thse discounts.
| am anxious that all orchardists who
desire to secure one Of these thermom-
eters will do so. The temperature rec
ords secured will not only be of great
value to me in my work but to the OBJ
server, since he will know the exact
condition in his own orchard. Orders
willbe listed for these thermometers,
which will not cost to exceed So 25,
until February Is. The orders may be
made by mail or telephone, 2l2-m.
The quantity of moisture mixed with
the air has very great influence on
the injurious effect of low tempera-
lures. When the air is dry aud low
temperatures occur far less injury is
done than at such times as the proper
tion of DISTURB in the air is high.
I he extent of injury by low tempera-
lures at various degrees of saturation
also depends largely ON the condition
of the plant BY the use of a sling
psyehrometor the degree of saturation
may be measured. BY the use of psy-
chrometric tables the dew point is de-
termined. Generally the dew point
quite closely the minimum temperature
of the following morning. 1t is desira-
BILE to have the dew point temperatures
! determined at numerous places IN the
valley, since the records will be of as
great or even greater value than the
minimum and maximum temperature
1t is hoped that 20 to 30 orchardists
will purchase these sling psychromters
These instruments may be had for u
to S5. so each. Orders for these instru
meets wifi alsosbe taken4 Ny purpOs,
in asking the orchardists TO secure
these thermometers is to determines
/. the area in which frosts do no
occur.
2. The location and extent of areas
in which frost injury does occur,
3. The duration of frosty periods.
4. Trend Of cold air currents,
8. The degree of saturation of th,

HIGH BILLS USED TO
SECURE CONTRACTS

With the Hydro Electric Co. in the
city and doing business on substan-
tial competitive basis, the Hood River
Gas a. Electric Co. took unique
measure. when 1t sent out its regular
monthly statements for the use OF
light and power during the month OF
January, to secure contracts and main
tain its patronage. In great number
of cases these monthly bills were
doubled, especially so in cases of citi-
zens and business houses expressing
favorable sentiment toward the com
netting company. However, accom-
panying the bills were circular letters.
announcing in each case an extraordi-
nary low monthly charge, on fiat rate
basis, provided the patron signed a
contract with the company for year.
The cireulatr letters furthermore an
nounced that, provided the contract
were signed, the January bills might
be declared null and the Hat rate
charges would begin at the first of the
year.
These excessive bills were the cause
of a great deal of agitation and de-
mands for piinlton. Many de-
cared that they would not pay the
sums without an explanation for the
reason of the increase. Albert s. Hall
has given as the only explanation of
the matter that the meters were read
four days late during the month of
January. However, when protested, a
number of the bills have adjusted to
sums proportionate to charges of past
months. Yet these adjustments were
made without a further explanation
for the reasons of the charges.
The respective comparative figures
in different cases for the two months
were as follows: SlS and $35, $3.50
and $3.50. In one case, where the
patron was a large consumer, the bill
preceding the one of February had
been Sl32 Tor 81 days, while the Feb
ruary bill, covering II days, amounted

Tin Ton Co. Makes improvements.

A number of Improvements have
recently been effected at the big ga
rage of the Tip Top Auto Co. On the
top floor regular allotted places have
been marked off for the patrons of the
garage. Above each car hangs the
name of the owner, painted neatly. In
the rear of the car is a commodious
locker for the use of the owner.
