To use the popular phrase, the Hood
River municipal water system is there
with the goods. With the force that
was seen demonstrated Tuesday after

the Volunteer fire department deserves
unstinted praise for the speed and

A big apple crop with a sadly cur

which future earnings depend. War is
a costly luxury, but mankind will have

What War Has Brought.

Thousands of cameras and moving
picture machines were confscated in
Germany when war was declared.
This resulted in hundreds of Ameri-
cans being deprived of innumerable
snapshots of an entirely innocent
character. But the Germans knew no
exceptions. They were taking no
chances. Sketches by artists, espe-
cially landscapes, were seized. No
campstool with legs that would IN.
screw was permitted to go through
the lines. These stools, by the way,
equipped with hollow legs so brushes
can be handily carried about in them,
have always been regarded with sus-
picion. Shortly before war broke out
well-known English artist was held
because a plan of a fortress was
found in a leg of his stool when
opened. He was thrown into jail
Eventually it was proved by German
woman that a secret agent anxious to
make good" had taken the artists
brushes out of the stools leg and
placed the plan there. The artist was
then released, but what punishment
was meted out to the agent was moi
disclosed. He probably was commend
ed for his vigilance

WORSE THAN "RIDING GOAT"
Experience Of Man Initiated Into Or
der of Squirrels Hardly Thing
to Be Envied.

The early birds of Germantown
were pulling trial tweet outside Of
the windows of the Second district po-
lice station when Lieutenant Dressler,
long accustomed to everything and al
ways ready for anything, received the
start of his life. A man walked into
the quiet station house wearing a coat
of varnish, kilt of burlap and derby
hat which showed evidences of hav-
ing been recently hamburged.
In the course of his opening speech
he made few gestures which brought
into view a tattered shoe which he
was carrying after the fashion Of
handbag
Probably ten minutes were devoted
to an unrestrained TRADE in which
harsh words mingled with the subject
of speed, railroads, tramps and luck,
and then Joseph Brennan of Tamaqua,
Pa-for it was indeed he-told the
coherent story of wild night.
He said he had got aboard through
freight somewhat hurriedly at his
home town, intending to break into
the commercial activities Of Philadel-
phia at the first price offered. At the
time of his ascent into the box car, he
explained, he was rather we'll dressed
| and had a small store of money, and
everything with him was, to an extent,
well.
He had no sooner settled down for a
| moments rest in the car, however,
when he became aware that several
| persons, all somewhat given to gig
| Cling, were in the car with him.
Five tramps there were, explained
Joseph, and they asked Joseph if he
was a Squirrel" which is an organi-
zGtion of hobos, and when he said that
| he was not they evidently took him
for nut and began picking on him.
! They straightway prepared to initiate
him in+o the well-known order, and the
ritual, according to Joseph, was a
bird and several eggs.
They took off his clothing, and, al
lowing him to grasp an iron rod, in
duced him to hop on and off the car
which was moving at forty miles al
hour. After he was we'll aglow they
helped him back into the car, var
nished him thoroughly, gave him 6
shoe as a keepsake and bounded hin
off the train. Joseph estimated thai
he had run fully three miles, skipped
two and hoped one before coming tt
a full stop.-Philadelph Ledger.

Sin of the Kew.

When Frank Mandel first submit
ted the manuscript of his play, THE
High Cost of Loving" to A. H. Woods,
it was entitled The High Cost of
Living" 1t did not take the theatri-
cal manager long to discover that
THE High Cost of Living" was we'll
worth the price: He saw Lew Fields
in the star role, and as the plot un-
folded he saw greater possibilities
and within a few minutes after he
had read the last page he was dictat-
ing a letter of acceptance. Perhaps
Mr.. Woods was still laughing over the
funny situations when he was dictat-
ing that letter. 1t may have been
that the letter 90" is next to 'i' on
the typewriter keyboard, but be that
as it may, when the manager came to
sign the epistle his quick gaze detect
ed the fact that the title OF the play
High Cost Of Living" was changed to
High Cost of Loving" 1t seemed like
an inspiration, for no title could have
been more appropriate, and Z en- and
there the new play was christened

The Electric Era,

This is the electric era. Back in the
centuries that ere past we had the
stone see, the ice age. etc. but the
electrical age is purely the utilization
of natural forces by the genius of man
In the 3 years last past probably
greater progress has been made in
electrical power development than in
any other sphere of human activity
This has been done by scientific con-
version of power represented in the
flow OF water to an invisible current
to almost everything that required
power, light or heat. Twenty I've
years ago there were no trolley cars,
no street cars propelled by electricity
This silent but potent force was
known, but little used. In a quarter
of a century it has come into general
use. Naturally, the first development
Of electric power was at the source of
the greatest quantity Of power any
where to be found on earth. the Falls
Of Niagara.-"Harness Niagara and
Tunneling Catskills,' by Edward T
Williams, in National Magazine.

MAN LOOKED WHILE CLINGING
TO LADDER IN MINE.
Why Reptile Refrained From Strik-
ing Is Something of a Mystery
Though Its Precarious Posi-
ton May Explain II.

There is a saying down on the broad
Mojave desert, where the burning
sands conceal many dangers, that no
true son of the greaseWood wastes
will pass up a RATHER. Strong as is
the lure Of gold which SO irresistibly
holds the prospector on his search,
there is none who will not stop an
! hour or half day to kill the deadly
foe of the gold hunter.
There is a story which will bear
telling and it is comparatively new.
| 1t happened in San Bernardino coun-
ty. The man to whom the experience
came is noted the desert over for his
truthfulness. He has been bitten twice
| His name is George Branch. Quiet,
! unassuming, with a laugh at what he
! termed joke on the snake, he told
! the story on recent trip to San Fran
/ cisco:
! Il was hiking along with Jack and
Jennie and Joe, my three burros, when
! | ran across an outcropping that looked
| good and in a country l knew was
among the best there is on the desert.
| So we four struck camp right there and
/ began sinking a shaft to get a look
at the inside.
Il had little timber, but managed
to get enough over to the workings
| to put down a good ladder and keep
the shaft open. The grub ran short
and l had to hit the trail back for
! more. 1t took about week. When
! returned / started down in the mine to
do
little before noon. l wasn't paying
much attention to anything except get
ting down the ladder. My candle shed
pretty small light for all the dark,
ness at the bottom of the hole.
Il was passing the last set of tim.
bers and when they were opposite my
shoulder l flashed my candle to the
left to see if there was any sign OF
settling. Just as | was turning around
to look on the other side l heard
about three inches from my ear, the
buzz Of a rattler.
1T sounded more like a bell rattle
than l ever heard them before. 1t was
SO close it almost scared me into los
ing my grip on the ladder. In the
half second l stayed there l saw ev
cry scale on the snake and his wicked
little eyes and his fangs and darling
| tongue. Maybe it was the light of the
candle that confronted him and may
be it was something else that kept hin
from striking. But all that lad would
have had to do was to reach out {
couple of inches to get me on the
cheek and l would have had no chance
to stop the poison from doing it!

Il asked a college professor after
