THE SNOW STORM.

The elements have declared war on
the Pacific Northwest and the different
communities have felt the effect Of the
forces of sleet and snow storms. Sat
urday night and Sunday railroad traffic
was almost completely tied up and
telephone and telegraph were put out
Of commission. However. except for
the inconvenience suffered by its
citizens, the Hood River Valley will
not be damaged by the snowfall, ex-
cept in case Of heavy thaw after the
top has been frozen into thick crust.
An orchardist reported that such an oc-
currence is altogether improbable. The
older trees will not be damaged. The
cold weather will not caus damage to
trees Of any age.
Don't you wish you were kid about
twelve years oldl The snow offers
great opportunities for fun. Yet, the
old folks. though they may no a little
disgusted frowning at the weather,
are really enjoying the beautiful
white blanket. The three foot fall is
a novelty to all but pioneers who recall
the years of '84 and '94. The most
unpoetical could not refrain from
CALCULATIONS of wonder and delight at
the picture presented Sunday, when
the landscape on every hand stretched
out gllstening and white in the sun
shine. Old and young, who enjoy out
door sports are planning SKI parties,
eoasting Journeys and bobsled trips.

GRENIER DISCUSSES
LIGHT SITUATION

TIE keen interest manifested in the
controversy over light and power, in
the local field between the Pacicf
Power a. Light Company and the Hydro
Electric Company, by Hood River resi-
dents, has caused A. S. Grenier, vice
president Of the Pacific, to make a
statement to the public. Mr.. Grenier
says be wants the Hood River people
to understand that there is nothing
personal in the suit of the Pacific
Power & Light. Company against the
Hydro Electric Company. That the
action of the former was simply taken
to protect its property, a procedure
that is necessary at times for any
public service corporation.
This matter, says Mr. Grenier,
twas submitted to the court for adjud-
ication, after due notice, and through
the proper legal channels. The court
acted in accordance with the report
which its own epxerts submitted TO it,

one. We have taken steps to improve

Bridge builders for the s p. q S.

improvement hes added a very mater

We are still further prepared to extend
our lines and help in the development
of the community in every possible
way. The Pacific Power & | light Com
pany' duplicate plants at The Dalles
and Hood River have a capacity far in
excess of the present needs of the
country, nevertheless we are willing to
anticipate the demand, and be prepared
to keep a little ahead of the develop
ment in other directions. The recent
unusual cold snap, when our White
River plant was put out of commission
by an ice jam, demonstrated the wis
dom of having a reserve plant at Hood
River. When the trouble was reported
We connected up here and supplied The
Dalles. Dufur, and this district from

to the service. We think this is a
direct denial of statements that have
been made of over capitalization.

THE WATER SITUATION.

The warning Of the Fire and Water
committee of the city council should be
observed strictly. While it may be a
convenient method of preventing water
pipes from freezing. the patrons. should
remember that open faucets may occa-
sion serious loss to the city iH case Of
a fire.
Indeed, suppose that the flames or
ignating in a rancher's rig in the
Transfer q Livery Co.'S. barn Saturday
evening had got beyond control before
discovery by the night watchnan. 1t
was reported that because of hydrants
and faucets having been allowed to
run. the water mains and reservoirs
were at low ebb. Furthermore an
immoderate use of the water at this
time of the year. when the city spring
flows its smallest amount of water,
works great hardship on citizens of
the Heights. For several days past
house wives on the hill portion of the
town have found difliculyt in securing
enough water from their fawcets for
cooking purposes.

Fins, FurS and Feathers.

Some of the stories of desperate
fights between badgers and dogs are
more ancient than the hills surrounding
the Hood River Valley. Indeed the
badger has a greater reputation among
the animal kingdom than Jack johnson
mas among the colored race and among
the 'furriers. In addition to their
battling propensities the willy little
badger, according to a story that has
recently been afoat among the local
hunters of big game, can, if one knows
how, furnish the best of sport to the
man, or rather two men with guns.
The story goes, as told by man
who has had much experience in shoot
ing lions and elephants: "We were in
a barren country. The larger game
had been eluding US until we were
becoming desperate in our desire to
lind something to shoot at. Badger
dens were thick in a little grove not
far from our camp. My friend and |
spent whole morning studying their
burrows. Finally he came to me and
said: I've got the scheme for fun.
We III shoot badgers on the first bounce.
We got our guns and proceeded 10
tbs thicket. We would watch until a
badger left its burrow on foraging
expedition. Tnen one of us would
approach the burrow and stick his boot
into it, while the other would stalk the
feeding badger. 1t was my turn first
to do the tsalking and will never for
get the curious look on that badgers
