TROUT FRY PLANTED
in THE WEST FORK

Another car Of trout fry arrived at
Hood River last Thursday. In charge
OF il were the regular men from the
hatchery, and VIM. Stewart and W. l..
Clark went with the car to Dee. The
Mount Hood furnished a special engine
for the trip, and the car arrived at
Dee before the regular train.
Burnett Duncan had taken his car to
Dee the day previous and with Clark s
and Stewartis assistance made ar
rangements for the disposition of the
fry. 1t was through the courtesy of
Walker West, superintendent of the
big mill, that the arrangements were
made easy. Nothing was too much
trouble for him TO have done, and it
was done right and on time. He made
arrangements for teams. had a special
dinner for the "fsh car crowd" ready
at the hotel, and furnished ali the help
he could in the work, besides taking
the crowd through the mill and show
ing them how it was all done. Gonna
way Mercantile Co. had sent up their
truck from Odell, and this made two or
three trips to the West Fork. Several
wagons from the Dee country did the
rest.
Thanks are due to G. r. Westerburg,
who gave his time and team to the
work, just for the fun il is going to
give the other fellow some day, as he
doesn't FISH himself.
Any one who has been fishing in
Hood River streams the past three
years, and come back empty stringed,
will appreciate the work that is being
done. More fish are yet to be planted
this year and the work followed ~
next. In connection with the stocking
of the streams, a correct fish ladder i,

ladder will be built at the Punch Bowl

Jesse W. Rigby, Of this city, and Mrs.
Mary Jane Kamerer, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, Rev. W.B. Young officiating.
Mrs. Kamerer arrived from a sojourn
in Iowa last Thursday, and contrary to
the expectation of Mr.. Rigby's Hood
River friends, who planned to attend
his wedding Sunday forenoon, persuad-
ed him to consent to quiet wedding
Friday evening.
The groom has been resident of
this valley many years and is we'll
known, having been at one time the
pastor of the local Methodist church.
The bride, while stranger, has al

wishes of the community is extended
to them in their new home.

The timely discovery of fire in the
basement of the Park street school
Saturday evening, saved that building
from destruction. The janitor had put
some hot ashes into barrel and 1t
caught fire. The blaze and smoke were
discovered by Mrs. c. H. Sletten, who
gave the alarm. w. E. Colby was one
of the first on the scene, and being
familiar with the interior Of the build
ing on account of having wired the
building, broke into the basement, and
getting a hand extinguisher put out
the balze. The fire had already started
in the cordwood, and in twenty minutes
would have been beyond control. The
fire department responded to the alarm
but the fire was out when they arrived
on the scene.

SHOP RUN
Ming FULL HANDED

One of the busiest places in Hood
River at this time of the year is the
machine shop of w. G. Snow. The
best of machinery has been installed
and labor saving devices make possible
speedy turning of materials. Yet, DE.
spite this fact the shop is running full
blast, with extra men on the working
force.
Mailing presses are much in demand
at present, and Mr.. Snow informs us
that he is unable to catch up with the
orders for presses. Wagon racks are
also much needed now, and Mr.. Snow
has made a number this summer SO
fully equipped with modern machinery
is his shop that he was able last week
to take an order for one of these racks
on Tuesday, begin the construction OF
the rack on Wednesday and deliver 1t
completed on Friday. When one CON
siders the dozens of pieces to be
shaped and Joined and the numerous
bolts and burs to be put into place and
securely fastened they can begin to re-
alize the swiftness with which this
order was filled.
To 90 through this well appointed
shop, to see the powerful machinery
handling the heavy iron and hugh
pieces of timber. turning, planning and
shaping them to perfect nicely IS
really a sight worth while.
Everything is manipulated by water
power, from the blowers to the huge
hammers and planers; and what seems
almost incredible is the little water
motor and one lone wheel that furnish
es the fires for both the machine shop
and the horseshoers shop adjoining.
One of piece machinery which at
tracted the writer's attention was the
little steel band saw that will cut any
thing from a cute little bracket to the
big braces on rack or wagon. And
to see the little steel drill make hole
through big bar of iron without any
apparent effort, is only equaled by the
thread cutting machine when It cuts
the threads on an inch and half bolt
as perfectly as those on a quarter-lnch
bolt. Altogether it is time well spent
to accompany Mr.. Snow over his shop,
and have him show and explain to one
the purposes of the different machines
in use there.

GOV. HALL EXPLAINS
NEW TAX LAW,

There is no one who defends
the present system of assess
ment and taxation in force in
this state. All are agreed that
scme radical change or revision

meet the increasing needs Of the
state. During the last state
campaign the imperfections, in

system were condemned, and

Efforts, if elected, to provide a
system by which taxation might
be made equal and uniform and
the burden Of government thus

present system many owning
property of enormous values have
beer able to escape the payment
yof their just portion of taxation
andin consequence the deficiency
has to be made good by those

without increasing the burdens
of those who are now taxed to a
reasonable limit.
TO accomplish this result is
the underlying purpose of the
plan now submitted for the ap-
|proval Or rejection of the people
at the November election.
1t would be impossible within
a brief time to discuss the pro.
posed plan in all it's details, h
lis built around the central idea
of segregating for the purposes
of state taxation certain forms OF
property and leaving all other
property to the several parishes
and anticipation to be taxed for
local governmental purposes. 1t
means almost absolute home rule
for them in matters of assessing
and taxing property reserved to
them. The state wonld surrend.
er it's right to levy any tax at all
on the remaining property and
also to collect licenses, except on
such businesses as fall within
the scope of it's police power
such as the state of intoxicating
liquors, etc. The people of the
parishes and municipalities would
be relieved of the payment of all
the state tax on property subject
to taxation by them and also pay
ment Of all state licenses except
On such as are mentioned above.
To compensate them far the loss
of segregated property they
would be given the power in
their discretion to impose upon
the remaining property in ad-
dition to the ordinary parish or
municipal tax now paid to the
state under the present system.
For instance, a parish which
would under the present system
pay for the local governmental
purposes tax of ten mills and.a
state tax of six and two.tenths
mills, which includes the pro.
posed Confederate Veteran tax,
making a total of sixteen and
two.tenths mills, would, under
the Lew System, pay no state tax
at all but would, in addition to
the ordinary tax of ten mills, COL
lect as much Of the six and two.
tenths mills tax as might be nee.
essary to meet the local govern.
mental needs. OF the total tax
of sixteen and two.tenths mills
under the present system only
ten mills would 90 to the parish,
the remainder going to the state.
Under the proposed system the
entire amount levied would go to
the parish and the state would
receive nothing. So in no event
could taxation be increased I'M
der the proposed plan beyond
what would be paid under the
old plan. Hence, the statement
that the plan would result in an
increase Of local taxation is with.
out any foundation whatever.
The farmer and other people own.
ing the property reserved to the
localities would not have to pay
one cent more of taxes.
Notwithstanding the fact that
taxation within a parish would
not be increased at all. all the
parishes in the state. with the
exception of about four, would
receive more money for local
purposes.
To illustrate, let US take the
parish of Claiborne for an ex-
ample. According to the assess.
ment of 1911 on the basis Of al
ten mill levy:
Total assessments, 1l7.00
Property segregated 1850

PULLMAN CITIZENS
VISIT LIME POINT
Are favorably Impressed With Prop
erty and Prospects OF Idaho
Portland Cement Works

An auto load of Pullman citizens
returned from Lewiston yesterday
noon after an interesting and enjoy
able boat ride up the Snake river to
Lime Point, where they inspected the
deposits of the Idaho Portland Ce-
ment Works. On the way up the
party visited the company's property
of some ten acres at Asotin. where
the mammoth plant Is now under
construction. The location for the
plant. dock and all purposes is pro-
nouneed ideal.
Upon the 565 acres at Lime Point
they found a mountain of lime stone,
shales. etc, enough to last big mill
for centuries They were also shown
a large strata of pure white fire
clay of unexcelled quality, from
which white cement, white terra
Gotta, white glazed brick. etc, Will
eventually be made.
An interesting feature of the
property 10 d wall VI tOhClett lbI lufu

This wall is in perfect candition, al
though for centuries it has been ex-
posed to the wear and tear of spring

There were % in the party, includ-
ing prominent people from Moscow
Colfax, Pullman and other Washing
ton and Idaho points. The opinion
seemed to be that the cement plant is
the most important industrial I'M
dertaking that Southeastern Wash
inton has yet seen. In view Of the
large supply, high quality and di-
yersity of the company's raw ma
terials, the ideal location of the
plant, the cheap river transportation
and the remarkable progress which
Is being made on the enterprise, the
enthusiasm of the visitors seems
justifiable

Collects Whitman County Exhibit

At meeting of the representatives
of the Whitman County Commercial
Clubs at Pullman it was decided that
one Of the best ways of advertising
the resources of the county was to
collect an assortment of samples of
what Is actually produced in this
county and to exhibit these samples
at the larger fairs held throughout
the county, j. l.. Dumas was select
ed to collect the exhibit and is aided
in the work by his son, l.. F. Dumas,
who was at Lacrosse Saturday.
John Clark" says Mr. Dumas, will
furnish room in which samples of
grain can be left until we make up
the collection from Lacrosse.
"A number of farmers have agreed
to aid us in securing this exhibit
which we plan to make one of the
best ever selected from this county.
THE expense will be borne by the
different commercial clubs of the
county. Five places have been
named as central stations, for collect
ing the exhibits, one each at Pull
man, Colfax, Rosalia, ST. John and
Lacrosse, and an attempt will be
made to collect the county exhibit at
these points. Lacrosse Clipper
