MUSICAL INSTRUCTION
is GIVEN BOOST

That the teaching of music should
have place in the public schools f
the country was the opinion of great
many of the members of the Home al d
School Association, which met in the
room of the High School building Mon
day evening, when lecture on music in
the public schools was delivered by J.
II. Jetfry, of Portland, but formerly of
Indiana. However, others thought
that musical training should not be
instituted in the schools until courses
in manual training were established
and the schools had we'll equipped
gymnasiums. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the board of directors
should provide for musical training as
soon as the financial arrangements of
the district made it possible The
evening was made very pleasant by a
musical program rendered by Culver
K. Osgood, Hans Hoerlein and TIE
Misses Shrum. 1t was decided that
the members of the organization should
each be assessed yearly due of 25
cents, to be paid to the treasurer, F..
A. Cram.
Another speaker of the evening was
Prof. G. d. Thompson. who outlined
the plans of the School Fair to be
given here in September.

LAFEAN BILL RE-
APPEARS IN CONGRESS

Western horticulturists must prepare
to defend Themselves from injury to
their apple industry as a result of
the reintroduction of the Lafean apple
box bill by Congressman Sulzer, of
New York. Until recently it was be-
Iieved no attempt would be made to
secure this legislation, but pressure
from Eastern growers was brought to
bear on the New York Representative
to introduce the bill
The measure has been referred to the
interstate and foreign commerce com
mittee this season instead of to the
agricultural committee in hopes it will
be more favorably received by the
frst-named body. The agricultural
committee would again refuse to report
the bill, it is understood, but the ma
jority of the interstate committee IS
believed to be favorable to the Sulzer
measure. Hearing will be had on the
bill early in March, and unless West
ern apple growers take concerted
action it is believed strong influence of
Eastern and Southern people will be
eXerted to pass the measure.

MASSEE PREDICTS
MANY C0LONISTS

Frank A. Massee, who with Mrs.
Massee and his son returned home
Monday from visit with relatives in
Madison. Wis, declares that many col
onists will pour into the West this
Spring from the states of Wisconsin
and Minnesota. ''The past winter,
colder than it has ever been before,
has been too much for them, and they
are going to try the Northwest" said
Mr.. Massee. "Scores of them are dis
posing of their property and will be
ready to take advantage of the low
eolonists rates. However, many will
wait until Summertime, when they
will come out and look the different
regions over in leisurely fashion. The
greater portion of the colonists from
these two states, think, will come to
Oregon"

CLUB ENDORSES
MOUNTAIN ROAD
OMNENDLARGE APPROPRIATION
Secretary Kaufman Turns in Resignation
State Game Warden Will Deliver
Address on Birds Here Soon.

Al a meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors OF the Comercial club held Tues
day afternoon, the secretary of the
club was instructed to communicate at
once with the Oregon representatives
of Congress the clubs endorsement of
the proposed appropriation of $3.50, 600
20 be used toward the completion OF
the road that has been surveyed from
near Lost Lake in the southern part Of
this county to a point near the term
mus of the Sandy road.
The government spent the sum of
$40. 600 last Summer in clearing a trail
over the proposed route. The way is
said by all who have seen it to be one
of the most beautiful for a scenic high
way in the vicinity of the wonerful
mountain. In no place will the grade
be above seven per cent. The govern
ment crew of men cut trail six feet
wide over the entire distance Num-
erous citizens have recently discussed
the way and the conclusion has been
reached that the route should be
opened 10y the National government.
At a meeting of the directors, a
communication was presented by Sec
retary Horace G. Kaufman, who
stated that on account of i'll health, he
found that he was unable to attend
the duties of the club and asked that
his resignation, effective. March Is,
be considered The board accepted
Mr.. Kaufman resignation. He will
return to his former home in Illinois.
No decision has as yet been reached
as to the appointment of successor
for the position of publicity man
ager 1t is unerstood that Ray Scott,
of the East Side, who at present is in
Portland. will be among the applicants
for the position.
great portion of the time of the
directors Tuesday afternoon was taken
up with discussion of financial mat
ters.
1t is probable that at near date w.
l.. Finley, state game warden, will de-
liver an illustrated lecture before the
club membrs on Oregon birds. Mr.
Finley one of the foremost ornitholo-
gists of the country, has written
several books on American birds, and
his lecture will prove decidedly inter-
esting both to the older members of
the business Organization as well as
the children of the city.

BIG CROP PREDICTED
FOR EAST WASHINGTON

While the temperature of the past
week was decidedly too warm for fruit,
no damage has been DONE says a dis
patch from Walla Walla, and unless it
holds for another week or two, the
crop will not be hurt But with two
or three weeks more of weather such
as those just passed. the fruit would
be farther advanced than safe at that
time of the year. Buds on the trees
are swelling in all parts of the valley,
but cooler weather probably will hold
them back until the danger point is
passed.
Work in the orchards has been going
on in good shape in all parts of the
valley in the last week, pruning and
budding being the main operations.
The trees are being better pruned this
year than ever before, and if all ndi-
ciatOns hold. the branches will be in
much better shape to hold a big crop.
Spraying will be taken up within a
fortnight, and already five carloads of
spray have been shipped in for the
operations More will arrive as it is
needed, and the fruit inspectors will
see that there is no sighting of this
work this year
So far, everything points to big
fruit crop for 1912, and only untoward
weather conditions would change this.

COUNCIL DELIBERATES
ON SEWERS AND WIRES

The greater portion of the deibera.
tlons of the city council at the Monday
night meeting was taken up wi
discussions as to methods of cOtr0lling
the construction of the wires Of tele
phone and wire companies in the city
and means of remedying the in
capacity of the sewer system to care
for waste water of the city. Coun.
Gilman Mayes, chairman of the Judi
ciary committee, announced 10 the
council that he considered it advisable
for the committee TO hold a meeting
and invite representatives, from all
the different companies to be pres
ent and offer suggestions as to the
most feasible methods Of reconstruct
ing the present systems of wires.
However, Councilman Robertson
stated that in case such were done
the committee would be no further
from an actual beginning than at
present. All the companies would
devise methods most feasible to them
sleeves, he said. The clauses of an
ordinance controlling such wiring. -
said Mr.. Robertson" " should conform
as near as possible with the State En-
pIoyers' Liability Act. The com
panles themselves should be willing to
comply with this law; for if any one
were injured under existing conditions,
the cost of indemnifying the injured
pers0n under existing conditions, would
be three times as much as the cost of a
reconstruction of the lines. "
An ordinance, which Councilman
Brosius. chairman of the Fire and
Water committee had caused to be
drawn, passed first reading. This or
dinance provides for measures, con-
forming with the existing state laws
to control the extension of wiring in
the city limits. The ordinance provid-
ing for the construction of lines has
been referred to the peopel and will be
voted upon at special election,
March 2. An ordinance will probably
be INTRODUCED providing for the wires in
the fire limits of the city to be placed
underground.
The sewer discussion arose, when il
was announced that the pipe leading
across the flats below the city was not
of sufficient capacity at certain times
of the day to carry the waste water
from the city. City Engineer p. M.
Morse stated that he thought the
sewer Of ample size to carry the or
binary sewage but that it was chok-
ed by water from water motors max
ing use of the Hood River Apple
Growers Union power. The Health
committee was instructed to con
tinuous its endeavors to find some
remedy for the incapacity of the pipe
line, and to determine what right the
users of the power company's water
had to discharge it in the sewers.
The street committee reported that
the work on the East Side Grade was
rapidly going ahead. 1t was decided
to purchase small strip along por-
tions of the highway, in order to
prevent the necessity of building an
expensive concrete wall.

COLUMBIA RAISES
VERY RAPIDLY

The Columbia has risen seven feet
during the past month, The rise in
the stream has been made during the
past week, because of the unusual
warm weather melting the snow in the

headwaters of the stream. The heavy
