PIONEER INCIDENTS

One of the most interesting pulpit
addresses ever heard in the city was
that delivered Sunday evening by f..
l.. Smith, who spoke on the subject /:
why | am Unitarian. Mr.. Smith
told his audience that he had been led
to consider seriously the precepts and
teachings of the church while still a
very young man. IL was a great
reader, he said, "and among the
greatest authors and thinkers. found
Unitarians, " Mr.. Smith named over
such men as Longfellow, Whittier,
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Emerson.
However, the greater portion of the
entertalng and instructive address was
taken up with "reminiscences of early
days of the great Pacific coast country.
MIR. Smith and his bride left their
home on the day of their wedding.
March 4, the day of the Inauguration
of President Lincoln, and started on
their long journey by way of NewYork
and the lsthmus of Panama to San
Francisco
Mr., Smith, who made name for
himself IN the early days of California
history and later in the great north
west territory, of which he was terri
torial secretary for a number of years,
recounted incidents of these pioneer
days Sunday evening. He told of his
meeting with prominent Unitarians of
the times, stalwart men, who devoted
their lives to the public welfare. In

visited last year by two representa-
tives from the Agricultural Depart
ment," says Mr.. Cakins, and the
new process was explained. The 'ex-
perts visited cider factories in all parts
of the country, and recently one. of
them who was here told me that our
plant, which is but a short distance
from the refrigeration plant of the
Apple Growers Association, has been
selected for the experiments. The
local ice plants will be used in making
the freezing tests.
The old method of concentrating the
juices of fruits was by boiling. How
ever, this caused deterioration in the
flavor, and all concentrates secured in
this way had cooked taste. The
freezing process does not affect the
flavor in the least. The juices are
frozen into solid blocks OF ice. The
ice is then ground and the ice meal
placed into centrifugal basket, which
throws off the syrup ndsleaves the

The evening was spent with musical
guessing contests which were very
cleverly arranged by Mrs. Oxborrow.
Mrs. Phillips and Miss Beth Edging-

pleasing way, and DR.. Sharp rendered
IN a very excellent manner, a number
of violin solos.

STARK WORKS ON
RECALL PETITION

Sam W. Stark declares that he is at
work drawing a petition to be pre-
sented 10 the voters for the recall of
County Judge Castner and Commits
sioners McCurdy and Putnam. Mr..
Stark alleges as his grounds for the
recall that the county court has been
extravagant in the administration of
public affairs in the appointment of C.
X. Marshall as road master, paying
for the service the sum OF S5 per day,
and the additional sum of 81 so, when
Mr.. Marshall has used his automobile.
Ii has been proposed that Attorney
Stanton's name be put on the ticket
as county Judge. MIR. Stanton. who
owns an Oak Grove ranch, was former
Iy practicing attorney in Nebraska.
To secure the recall election il will
be necessary for Mr.. Stark and those
supporting the recall to secure sigma
lures to a number equal to rs per cent
of the votes cast at the last gene al
election for supreme judges. The
number so cast was l445. ana therefore
it will be necessary to secure 1882 sign
ers to the petition. The county officials
feel that the petition will not be sue
cessful. Many citizens, who have been
heard to express themselves as disap-
proving Of the appointment of Mr..
Marshall, declare emphatically that
they will have nothing to do with the
recall.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS
SHOW STEADY GROWTH

Municipal improvement this year
show a steady progress. BY August
Is, the city will have expended $3.50, 0LC
on streets, the municipal water plant
extension, sidewalks and in sewerage
improvement. All have been needed
and will make Hood River more de-
lightful home location. When the Wis
itors at the Chautauqua return Sunday
they will find the Reliance Construc-
tion Co. through with the contract
for laying the IL blocks, l9, 600 square
yards, of five inch Hassam concrete
paving. The paving which covers the
entire section of the city, has cost ap-
proximately 100000.
BY October the three principal res
idence districts of the city, Oak and
State streets and Cascade avenue, will
have been hard surfaced with oil bound
maeadam. h. o. Hall a. Co., who have
the contract for this work, have already
completed spreading the crushed rock
on Cascade street. and oil has been
forced into the surface of the thorough
fare. The East Side grade, the int
provement of which has been a bugbear
to the city government, has been
widened. Sidewalk Improvement, the
construction of new outfall sewer and
the East Side grade work has cost the
sum Of approximately 500, 600.
Less than 1000 feet of the five and a
half mile pipeline to Tucker Spring,
where the city will draw its source of
water supply when the municipal plant
has been completed, remains to be fin
ished. City Engineer Morse states that
the work should be completed by Aug
ust 10. The pipeline will be finished by
the first of August.
According to MIR. Morse the Tucker
springs will have million gallon ca
paeity per day. 1t is figured that 100
gallons per capita per day is the aver
age consumption of water in large
cities. According to this estimate
Hood River may grow to a city of more
than three times its present size of
5000 and still have an adequate water
supply.
The headworks of the sytsem are
about a mile and half up the Hood
river from the Tucker bride. The
spring bubbles out from the gorge
there in an enormous stream, and ex-
perts believe that the estimates of a
million gallons daily Will be increased
to million and quarter. For several
hundred yards the pipeline extends on
railroad grade along the very rivers s
edge and forms beautiful picture.
Last Saturday a representative of
the Glacier accompanied City Engineer
Morse to the spring and inspected the
entire system. The pipeline and head.
works are being installed by the Reli-
anee Construction Co. A. Il. Cruik-
shank has charge of the inspection of
this portion of the work for the city.
The reservoir on the Heights, which
will have a capacity of 500, GOO gallons
of water, has been completed by Il. 0.
Hall Il Co. The structure is of con.
crete with concrete roof, the latter
supported by l3 pillars. The big reser-
volr is 72 feet in diameter.
II. Il. Boudinot, and Earl Nj. Noble,
civil engineers, have had supervision
of the street improvement for the city,
while V. ID. Lii has been inspector of
the paving. f. Rowley has supervised
the work for the contractor.

wager is now made that no one will
beat the days catch made by Geo. A.
McCurdy and "Billie" Nichols last
year. These nimrods were the envy Of
all within smelling distance last year
when they began to fry their trout.
There seems to be an abundant crop
of rattesnakes at Mosier this season
more than for several years past, says
the Bulletin. Few people go into the
hills or woods, or along the creeks
without finding one or more. So far
but one person has been struck and he
was fortunate in securing assistance.
But it may happen any day that a

persons. What would you do in such a
