Busy Bodies" Are Busy Again
Hood River Ore AnrillI Iol

Hood River. Ore, April IL. 1914.
Editor Glacier-ln so much as the
committee in charge of the campaign
for the City of Utility has referred to
those opposing the plan as "busy bod.
les, We may state that the "busy
bodies are busy again. A great many
OF us cannot get the view point
they have. We are sincerely opposed
TO the City of Utility, for we cannot
see to just what complicated point it is
going to lead US.
The committee tell us that they
formulated this plan on the advice of
the best legal talent in Hood River.
ms same legal talent recently told US
at meeting in Pine Grove that the
City OF Utility, when incorporated,
would not have to be limited to the
establishing and operation of
municipal light plant, but that the
! people, residents of the new town,
might vote for the operation of any
other utility plant. Indeed, when the
city is once incorporated the commun-
lty VIII be IN constant state of agita-
ton because of the proposals of resi-
dents to establish things of this kind.
Another point that should be consid-
cred, when the city is once incorpor-
ated, every citizen in the limits of the
municipality will be entitled to lights. |
have those who propose cheaper lights |
thought of the extent of territory COW
cred, much Of it sparsely settled? 1t is |
some 80 square miles. What will be |
the cost of stringing lines over all this
territory? Will it not be almost pro-
.hibitoryP How will this money be
raised; 1t does not matter how. the
burden will be greater than the district
can bear.
We have case of similar nature
IN our irrigation district. A man, al
though he has declared himself not in
approval with the methods of irrigat-
ing orchards, is suing the district to
have a pipe laid to his farm. The cost
Of this pipe will reach $1,000, perhaps,
and yet the district will in all proba-
blllty have to go to this expense be-
cause it is demanded.
The city of Hood River, as the COM
mttee states, is left out of the pro-
posed incorporation because it is bonded
to the limit. The assessed valuation of
the property in limits of the proposed
new town is Sd, 600, 900. approximately,
while its Indebtedness bonded and
private, is nearly $4,000, 900. Isn't
that just about the limit? {
Our Pine Grove Woman's Political !
Research club was not organized for
he purpose of developing, "busy bod. ,
es, but that we might study ques- !
ions and act intelligently on them. I
Ne do not all agree on matters by any
means, but our friendly discussions {
serve to inform US.

Attacking the Lawyers Bulwark.
The Country Review: Although
ne graduated as lawyer and
oracticed the profession for a
S lort period. any observing pei
s n would readily perceive, by
one token if no other, that Pres
ident Wilson is not an active
member of his profession. :. In
his message to Congress he re-
commended that the Sherman
law be so amended as to remove
all doubts as to its meaning and
leave no necessity for interpre-
tion-the language itself car
ring its own Interpretation be-
yond cavil. There is no excuse
for the writing of any law that
is dubious or uncertain in it's
meaning; but the lawyers write
the laws, and what would they
do without the possibility of
breaking into court on questions
of doubtful construction? Still,
the fine old schoolmaster is right
when he insists that all our laws
shall carry their own meaning so
clearly that he who runs may
read-and understand.

Fine Flow of ARTISAN Water.

On New Years Day the Iatt
Oil Company developed a bold
artesian flow of fine fresh drink
ing water at a depth of 2300 feet,
in the well they are boring for
oil five miles northeast of Colfax.
The water comes under heavy
pressure, and is estimated to flow
at the rate of 40, 900 gallons daily.
While this fresh water is not
regarded as a good indication by
borers for oil, it is a good thing
for Colfax, and can be used to
splendid advantage by the town.
The workmen have cased the
water off, and will bore deeper
yet, the intention being to go
down fully 1900 feet further be-
fore they give up the idea of
striking oil in the present we'll.
In case no oil is developed they
will sink another well in the
same locality.

fit by it. If the test shows poor
termination, he will have time
to procure good seed; if high
termination, he will be sure OF
at least one of the factors of q
successful crop. Merchants and
planters having seed for sale can
learn of the quality Of such seed
before any harm is done to their
reputation for reliability.
Recent tests made of crimson
clover show that some of the
seed on the market terminates
below so per cent. Farmers
planting this crop should be es-
pecially careful about the quality
Of their seed.
Purity and termination tests
are Liade free of charge by the
Branch Seed Laboratory in CO.
operation with the Experiment
Station at Baton Rouge. Since
most of the tests extend over a
least week and some, ike thes
# lospedeza, over three weeks,
farmers and merchants should
take care of this matter before
the planting season.

| Dolh PCis
/. On the morning of Dec. 81, at
Douglas bridge near Bagdad,
Phil Hebert, Jr., was shot and
killed by Buck Harper. The cir
cumstances as far as we can get
them, are that Hebert went to
the field where Harper was at
work baling hay to get a load of
hay.
The two men got into dispute
about the hay, and quickly got
into fight, and Hebert shot
Harper in the thigh. Harper's
son ran to the house and brought
his father his double Darrell shot
gun, and before Hebort could get
away Buck Harper shot Eebert
in the stomach, from the effects
If with Hebert died a few hours
iater.
After the killing Harper barri-
caded himself in his home and
defied arrest by the officers, two
or three OF whom had parleys
with him. Buck Harper claims
that he was justified in the kill
ing, and said he would not go to
Jail for it, but said if ssthe officers
would give him a pledge that he
would be given bail he would
surrender.
Friday morning Sheriff Perkins
and Deputy Clinton left Colfax
about 1850 o'clock for the scene
of trouble, twelve miles distant,
accompanied by a posse of six
citizens in buggies and surries,
armed with winchester rifles and
a bench warrant from Judge
Blackman. At $50 p. m. the
sheriff and posse returned, hav-
ing Harper in charge, who is now
safely lodged in Jail. Harper is
not seriously wounded.

Baton Rouge, Dec, 81, 1913.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
The harvesting conditions this
fall have been such that much of
the seed gathered for planting
purposes is very poor. The ex-
cessive rains caused some of the
seed to terminate in the field.
In gathering the grain later
these sprouts were broken off SO
that apparently the seed is in
good condition, but when planted
will not grow. Also some of the
rseed was killed by over heating
during the harvest. These con-
