BURGLARS ESCAPE
FROM SECOND STORY

After having been discovered here at
an early hour Monday morning, three
burglars escaped from the Paris Fair
building, leaving through second

city hall, across Fourth street from Il G
store, to the projectors of the concern,
who soon joined him. While the night
officer entered the rear of the store,
the front and side entrances were
guarded by the owners. The men,
however, had evidently planned on the
means of escape, should they be appre-
hended, and only three large suitcases
fully packed with the store s choicest
garments, were discovered.

were found in the sttr1, were tr cked

APPLE PROSPECTS
FINE FOR NORTHWEST

From all indications, based on apple
crop estimates from ell parts of the
country for the coming season, the
prOpsects for the northwest's fruit
crop are fine. From the best sources
of information the news comes Il at
the crop for the whole country will be
about 50 per cent, while the present
estimates place the northwest's crop
at normal. Kenneth II. Day. who

Judge Castner thinks that the county
will soon be able to go ahead and sign
up a contract with the railroad com
pany and hurry the work to completion.
The contract recently signed by the
Multnomah county commissioners was
very much less stringent than the one
offered Hood River county, and the To-
cal commissioners are now expecting a
contract with similar terms.

BOND ISSUE
TO BE VOTED
NEW DISTRICT ELECTION SOON
East SiderS Will Take Steps to Finance
Irrigation System Ditch is in
Good Shape.

On Tuesday, May q, the East Fork
Bonded Irrigation District will hold an
election for the purpose of voting on an
ssue OF Sl75,0 600 worth of bonds. The
members of the board Of directors of
this water system, which will super
Sede the lrrigating Co. which for so
many years has been supplying the
water for East Side orchards and fields,
feel sure from the sentiment that is
expressed all over the district that the
bond issue will carry and the future
success of the bonded district be thus
insured.
The proceeds of the bond sale will be
used in paying the purchase price of
Sll0 900 for the system of the East
Fork lrrigating Co, on which an op-
tion is now held, and in making in
creases in laterals and other improve
ment work next year.
committee of the board of direct
ors, composed of c. r. Bone, j. A.
Moore and Ed Hawkes., recently made
an inspection of the entire system in
order to determine just what would be
needed in the way of improvements
next year and thus determine on the
amount OF DOnu issue.
The ditch has been entirely cleaned
out by J.W. Mcdonald, superintendent,
who assisted in the construction of the
system and who is well acquainted with
the work of conducting the ditch.
''rhe board of directors feel that we
have water for all in the district, 3"
says Geo, r. Wilbur, secretary of the
bonded district 1.-THE members of
the board are now at work preparing
an assessment of all property in the
district. in order that they may find
out just what lands are irrigable,
those nOnirrigable and the land that
can be, and is being, watered by pri-
vate systems. When the work is COM
pleted, the board will be able to deter
mine just how much water is needed to
supply the entire district, when all is
under cultivation.
A a meeting last week the board of
directors listened to the application of
number of residents in the district
who were released from assessments
and let out of the district. Those re-
leased were j. p. Thomson. j. Jeppsen,
! Charles Davis, j. q. Mark, D. M. De-
Witt, 0. II. Rhoades and r. II. Weber.
Other applications are pending. How.
ever, Secretary Wilbur states that it is
not necessary for landowners. whose
lands are being, or are capable of be-
ing, irrigated by waters located or
them to appear before the board fol
such a purpose. The law is so draw
that they are excused.
! The board of directors has ordered
; a carload of wood stave pipe and re
: paired the flume in number of places
: However, no extensive improvement
, or extensions of the ditch, under th
} circumstances, can be made this year
The price for water has been esti
mated at So per inch for the year. o
this sum $3.50 will be due and payable

pounds of powder last Saturday after

tion of the city shook and houses on the
Heights at the edge of the gorge were
fairly rocked. The dam was no longer
needed, the cribbing for the power
house having been completed, and it
was destroyed after a permit had been

Unusual Shower Saturday Noon

Even as though they had been in old
'Indiany" or down on the banks Of the
Mississippi in Missouri, the residents
of Hood River were given the novel
privilege Saturday noon Of witnessing
q real thunder storm. Loud peals Of
thunder reverberated through the APP
ple valley and echoed up and down the
Columbia gorge. At intervals the light
nig whipped through the unusual dark
ness of midday, the sky being heavily
overclonded. Aud for nearly Is min
utes heavy downpour of rain fell.
1t was an extraordinary shower for
Hood River. However, no damage was
done, except that few berry spatche'
were washed slightly.

LAST APPLES HAVE
BEEN MARKETED

The last 500 boxes of apples left
from last years crop of 800. 900 boxes
of fruit were shipped Saturday by the
National Apple Co. to Portland produce
concerns. All other shipping agencies
have cleaned up their crop for the year
and are making ready their storage
houses for the strawberry crop.
The recent rains have been very ben
ecfial for the berry crop, which ac-
cording to present favorable indications
will probably reach about 80 carloads.
