RIVER MOUTH
BEING CHANGED
CREWS WORK ON NEW CHANNEL
Nate Desires New Course that Chinook
SalmOR May Reach Waters Of
Hood River TO Spawn

before the end of this week the appro-
preparation made by the state and that
oonated by the city toward changing
'he channel Of the Hood river at its
mouth into the old course will have
oeen spent. For the past several weeks
crews Of men have been working on
the project A dixie has been con
sructed into the stream and a Golfer
dam has been built to hold back the
water of the turbulent stream while
the men have been engaged in deepen
ing the old channel. After the heavy
loose bouders are taken from the sur
lace Of the stream bed, the work is
very difficult for the river bottom is
made up Of kind of cement gravel
that has been hard packed by the force
OIL the water. IL has been impossible
70 prevent seepage Of water through
the Golfer dam made of the porous ma
terlal at hand and necessarily the men
nave worked in water more than knee
deep in places.
While the present appropriation will
not complete the work all that has
been done is Of permanent nature and
when the Golfer dam is removed
great portion of the water Of the
stream will flow into the old channel.
The Hood river has been flowing almost
perpendicular to the Columbia and just
before reaching the larger stream turn
ing in an easterly course, emptying up
stream. The chinook salmon and steel.
head always head up stream and be-
cause of the course of the river but
few Of them have been entering the
local stream. The state has been in
terested in the project of changing the
course in order that the chinook may
come into Hood river and spawn, and
the local sportsmen in order to secure
the gamy steehead.
The outlet sewer of the city has
empted into the slough left by the old
channel of the river and cleaning il
out will flush this outlet. Even with
the small flow OF water seeping through
the Golfer dam, the sewer outlet is
flushed.
Burnette Il. Duncan, because of his
love for fishing, has taken active
charge of the work that has been done
here and has given it his personal su-
pervision. He has kept in close touch
with X. +. Clanton, head of the State
Fish Commission, who was here Satur-
day inspecting the work. 'We are
mighty we'll pleased with what has
been done. said Mr.. Clanton. "All of
the work has be N permanent and will
be of great benefit not only to local
lovers of fishing but the salmon in
dustry."
It was thought best by the Stat,
Fish Commission to spend the appro
priation made for the building of fis
ladder at the DEVILS Punch Bowl OF
the river mouth project. Ma y of th,
valleys citizens made a strong protes
against the fish ladder on the groun(
that it would mar the scenic beauty Of
the wonderful spot.
While the greater part of the work
had been accomplished, so far as the
funds were available, a further pro
gress was retarded tuesday night
when freshet in the river washed out
the Golfer dam and allowed the stream
to flow over the portion of the ehanne
now being deepened.

BIG CROWD HEARS
REV. SAM SMALL

'1'm a plain, blunt man. J." said Rev.
Sam Small, former coworker with the
noted evangelist, Sam Jones, and a
man who came in close touch with gov
ernmenta affaiIs, having been secre-
tary to President Andrew Jackson, who
addressed the people Of Hood River at
the Methodist church Tuesday night.
And before Mr.. Small had finished with
his advice and warnings against "His
Majesty, the Devil, ;" the liquor traffic,
he had thoroughly persuaded this audi
ence that his words we're true. Rev.
Small is seriousness. itself, when he
reaches the climaxes of his fiery de-
nunciations and in his bluntness he
sometimes shocks the sensibilities of
the ultra fastidiOus. However, the de-
mon rum receives heavy jolt, when
he talks. and the pictures that he
draws in language all his own are in
teresting to any one, whether he be-
lieves in prohibition or not.
After the Georgia evangelist had fin
ished his talk Rev. Mcmahon, of Ba-
ker, in behalf of the anti-saloon league
of the state, delivered short talk
and asked for a donation for prohibit
tiOn work.
In his closing words Rev. Small said :
81 have been knowing of Hood River
for a long time. | first heard of the
valley of wonders, when was preach
ing in London three yeras ago. ] saw
Hood River apples for sale out at Co
vent Garden and people were fighting
each other to get them.

SPOKANE MEETING
DECLARED GRATIFYING

That the results of the meeting of
the northwestern fruit men at Spokane
Monday will be beneficial to the North
western growers as whole is the
statement made by members of the
local delegation, who have returned.
Those present from Hood River at the
gathering, at which were represented
all the principal districts were: Will
mer Sieg. II. f. Davidson, w. B. Dick
erson, Albert Sutton, G. II. Sproat. X.
ii. Weber and Truman Butler. 1t is
not known what the committee of nine
appointed will do, They are represent.
ative of the apple growing. industry ol
the northwest and ii is felt that their
action will bring about some plan by
which the district will profit. H. F.
Davidson is Hood Rivers member of
the committee.
Truman Butler said of the gathering :
1T was very successful meeting,
Everything was harmonious aud the
results from the deiber tions of the
committee should be many" Hood
Rivers delegation and committeeman
will stand for closer unity and alli-
ance of the northwestern district.
1 The members of the permanent com
mittee are as follows W. I. CLARK.
of Wenatehee, chairman II. G. Samp-
son, Spokane, secretary; j. H. Rob
bins, Yakima; II. f. Davidson, Hood
River, Treas. Henry Huber, Walla
Walla; p. j. NeF, Rogue River. W. N.
Yost and W. s. 1hornber, Idaho dis
tricts and W. M. Sackett, Bitter Root
district of Montana.
The committee will be given full
powers. They will draw up a set of
bylaws and constitution which will
be referred back to the different dis
triets for their approval. They may
purge their membership in their efforts
in arriving at some conclusions. They
are instructed to report their progress
in 80 days.
Wilmer Sieg, in speaking of the
gathering says: I'VE want to get
away from this idea of central selling
agency. 1t will rather be a central
distributing agency. The apples of
the different districts will maintain
their identity" "
C. H. Sproat says: There is feel
ing everywhere that the apple growers
should combine more closely. The
members of the committees are very
hopeful and think that they will reach
some conclusion whereby the market
ing price may be satisfactorily ar
ranged and the apples placed before
the people in proper distribution. 1t
is something they are not going to
work out in a few days; for they have
to get hold of much information and
investigate many conditions before
reaching any final conclusion. "

MAP MEN WORK
GAME, ALLEGED

A couple of we'll dressed young men
from Portland appeared here three
weeks ago, purporting to be the repre-
sentatives of an eastern publishing
house that was going to prepare a
large map of the state of Oregon.
Their story was that it would take
year to gather the statistics and do the
work and they were taking prelimin-
ary orders and gathering sentiment as
to whether an edition of 1000 would
sell at price of So so the copy.
Business men gave number of Or
ders. A few days ago the maps turned
up with collector in charge, and
most of the business men put up rather
than continue the argument, as signed
contracts were given at the time or
ders were taken. 1t is said the map
people are selling a map Of Oregon for
S3. so which can be purchased of any of
the northwestern railroads for 25 cents,
and that they are working all over the
state

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
MANY MATTERS

At the meeting of. the city council
Monday night great many small mat
ters were disposed of. Councilman
Staten stated that he had been asked
by the Heights fire department to ask
for a cart and 400 feet of new hose.
The fire department of the Lower City,
he said, had thought the Heights de-
partment should be granted this petit
lion. The matter was referred to the
fire and water committee.
Although the council has ordered
that the work be done under the con-
tract let to John Zolls for making a
cement curb before the property of j.
F. Batchelder on State street. Mr..
Batchelder again protested, declaring
that he would take legal action rela-
tive to the matter since it would not
benefit his property to have curbs
made. The contention Of the council
is that the curb would never have been
ordered, if it had not been found the
only remedy to prevent water from
Twelfth street running over the prop
erty of the protestant. Mr.. Batchelder
threatened the city with damages if
some action were not taken to prevent
the overflow of water.
The finance committee stated that
more time was desired for consldera-
ton of the petition for an increase in
the city recorders salary. 1t was also
reported that an investigation had
been made of the books of the city
engineer and that it was impossible to
tell from what fund the. money paid
for work caused by errors sof the en-
gineering department came from. 1t
was recommended that the books be
made to show this and that a report of
same be made at times of regular re-
port to the council II was also recon-
mended that the summary of the ex-
penses of the engineers office be
published. The recommendations were
carried.
The fire and water committee stated
that reply had been received from
the Hydro Elecric Co. and that it
would furnish light at the corner of
May and Ninth streets under its con-
tract with the city. The light was
ordered.
The health committee reported that
it had found a very suitable location
for the incinerator on an acre lot near
the old sash and door factory. The
price asked for the property was $500.
The members of the cuncil visited the
location in a body Tuesday morning
and inspected it.
DR.. Edgington was present Monday
night to answer the statements made
in the petition by q number of citizens
of the Heights in the vicinity of the
lot where a smallpox patient was quar-
artined last fall. The petitioners asked
that he be removed from the position
of city health office, since his action in
placing the smallpox patient had been
menace to the health of little chill
dren and the citizens Of the eommun-
ity.
DR.. Edgington in reply stated that
he considered that the people had been
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1912-12-19

unduly alarmed. The patient had been
found in the country. The health Off
Ger was notified on Saturday night
and he was removed to the city on
Sunday. Judge Castner was notified,
but no other place could be found.
Because the day was Sunday no one
could be found to take care Of the man
and after much trouble a tent, cot and
bed clothes were secured and he was
placed on the vacant lot in quarantine.
MANY people thought that the man
we brought IN the daytime was a nurse
and that the patient was brought in
the night. We made kind of hole in
the earth near the tent and a rumor
was sent atloat that the man had died
in the night and we had buried him
there" said DIR. Edgngton. 81 be-
ieve that did my duty" The mat
ter was referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
1t was decided by the council that
since the money from the municipal
water bond issue was now in the hands
of the city treasurer his bond should
be increased to 5000 The new bond
of $50, 900 will be reducible and'may be
cancelled when the funds have been
expended. The question brought on
some discussion, it having been thought
by Councilman Stranahan that a bond
was not necessary for such a large
amount. However. after threshing
the matter over it was deemed eXpedi-
ent from business standpoint.
resolution was adopted calling for
a refund to the general fund of Sc, 75l =
09 from the special municipal water
bond fund. Money to that amount has
already been spent on the water works
system, having been taken from the
general fund.
ID. G. Cruikshank was present and
addressed the council, asking that they
experiment with King split log drag
in an endeavor TO better the street.
He stated that he had seen the drags
in operation and that they did excel
lent work. Members Of the council
stated that they did not think the
drags would be effective on Hood
River streets but recommended that
they be tried.
The council voted to refuse the re-
fund on alley improvements on the
Heights or for any other section of the
city.
The fire and water committee was
instructed to notify Il. A. Taylor, the
city consulting engineer, that he may
be present next Monday night when
the waterworks bids are opened.
