BOARD MAKES EFFORT
TO PREVENT |. /. E. P.
FROM EXTENDING LINZ

The purpose Of the star chamber
session of the board of public works
yesterday morning, followed by a star
chamber session of council last night.
was made known today by President
Bavis of the board.
| Ways and Means to prevent the
Richmond Light. Heat and Power COM
pany from constructing a line through
the city for the purpose of extending
it's electric service to Brookville were
the purposes behind the mystery.
Several weeks ago the city applied
to the circuit court for an order per.
manently restraining the company
using the streets of the city for the
purpose Of carrying on business out
side of Richmond. This case is still
that under the provisions of the fran
chise the company received from the
city it only had the right to transact
business within the city.
! While the court has been consid.
ering this case the Light, Heat and
Power company has been engaged in
constructing a line to the south cor
poration limits along a private right
of-way, along the west bank Of the
river. 1t will be necessary, however.
| for the cable to cross at least one
street.
The board. when it met yesterday
| said Mr.. Bavis today. considered the
| advisability of pursuing a policy. on
the part of the city. of marking time
| until some decision had been rendered
by the court on the petition for a per
manent restraining order. or to file
another action in circuit court praying
for a temporary restraining order.
which, If authorized. would compel the
Light, Heat and Power company i'm
mediately to cease its work of con-
structing the Brookville line through
the city. 1t was decided that the
board should reach no decision in this
matter until councils opinion had been
obtained. 1t was also pointed out by
r. X. Shiveley. special city attorney
in the absence of Mr.. Bond, that the
city. in the event a temporary re.
straining order was petitioned for the
city would have to give bond to cover
what damages the company might
| claim in the event a permanent re-
straining order was refused. and to
i provide such a bond ii would be neces-
sary for council to pass an appropria.
tion ordinance.
Council last night expressed the
opinion that the city should make q
determined effort to prevent the Light
Heat and Power company from per-
petrating its contemplated franchise
violation and adopted a motion leaving
the entire question to the board for
decision and agreeing to appropriate
for bond in the event it was decided
to petition for a temporary restrain.
ing order.
"The board met today and decided
not to ask for temporary restraining
order but to push the permanent In.
junction proceedings now pending. The
board decided that It made no differ.
ence whether the company completed
the construction of its Brookville line
pending the ruling Of the court on the
permanent Injunction proceedings;
that in the event of q decision favor.
able to the city the company could moi
make use of its line"

TOWN ELECTION
Law INVALID

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. S.-Attorney
General Milburn, who returned yester-
day from San Francisco, announced to-
day that on Monday he will sign the
opinion affecting the tenure Of Off
cials of towns of 5000 and under. 1t
is understood that the attorney gen.
eral will hold that as the legislature
of 1911, when it amended the law, left
out all reference to the date of calling
an election, the town officials will
necessarily retain office until the next
legislature rectifies the mistake.

tive in seeking to prevent the Light,
Heat and Power company from ex-
tending its service to Brookville, re-
piled that in the first place the city de-
sired the placing Of no more high volt
age wires in the city than were abso-
lutely required to furnish electric ser
vice to Richmond people. He said that
In the event of an accident from such
line as the company is now propos-
ing to establish the city would be
made liable for damages.

president added, the city does not de-
sire to have the company seek to have

franchise?"
Mr. Bavis said that council raised
the point last night as to whether the
city. under the public service law OF
1913. had the right to exercise control
over privately owned utilities which
had surrendered their franchises and
were operating under indeterminate
permits issued by the state commits.
sion. as In the case of the Light, Heat
and Power company 1t was decided,
however, Mr.. Bavis said. that Section
40 OF the public service law gave the
city full authority over the use OF its
streets.
II was learned that W. H. Bradbury
and p. A. Reid, two members Of the
mayors advisory board, attended the
council meeting and urged the filing Of
a temporary restraining order. Neither
one. however. offered to go on 4 bond
in behalf of the city. guaranteeing
the payment OF damages in the event
Of an adverse ruling.
"Mr. Shiveley was asked at the
council meeting what appropriation
for bond would be required" Mr.
McMinn of the board remarked today.
"and when Mr.. Shiveley said that b.
tween 5000 and $4,000 would be nee
essary, you could see the councilmen
getting cold feet"
Mr.. McMinn frankly expressed the
opinion that the effort Of the city to
prevent the company from supplying
service to Brookville was q case Of
loves labor lost. Mr.. McMinn said:
las q last resort I believe II would
be possible for the company to extend
its line to the corporation limits and

contracted with the company for cur

The plunging on the series grew to
an immense scale during the morning.

series remained at even money, while

combination bet Of $1,000 to $500 was
made by a Philadelphia rooter that

and the series.
One Of the really pathetic features

WASHINGTON. May %. - The
statement was made Thursday by a
high administration official that af
fairs between the United States and
the governments Of Great Britain and
Germany are in better condition now
than at any time in recent weeks.
The significant statement was made
also that an understanding will prob
ably be reached with the British gov
eminent regarding American com
merce on the high seas, which, while
not granting the United States all it
wants, will improve the situation
greatly.
II was admitted that there is no
likelihood that an entirely satisfactory
arrangement giving full recognition
TO the rights Of neutrals commerce,
will be reached during the war.
The statement was made that two
things give Great Britain a shadow Of
defense for her treatment of Amer
lean commerce. These are:
First, the fact that this is 10 a large
extent a war for existence between
GFeat Britain and Germany
Second, the impossi5ility Of Great

The result is that Great Rritafn is

The Interpretation placed on these
statements is that the administration

is disposed 10 be as lenient as possible

COTTON PLANTS GROW
in HOOD RIVER

We have seen waving fields of Indian
corn for the past three summers. Now
comes Leroy Childs and reports that
cotton plants, 80 inches high and their
branches loaded with two-inch bolls,
have been grown this summer on the
Mclean place by the staff of the local
branch of the Oregon experiment sta
tion. Many local people have never
seen cotton plants. The station man
will be glad to show them the speci-
mems on the old McCan farm, now
owned by Joe and J. F. Mclean. The
first frost will probably cause the bolls
to burst and display the snowy fibre.
Cotton, however, will probably never
be grown in Oregon. The plant re-
quires unusual summer heat. The sta
tion cotton plants would probably
never have thrived so well except for
the long continued dry, warm weather
of the past autumn.
J. R. Winston, pathologist of the ex-
pertinent station. writes to friends
that he is getting some valuable infor-
nation at the University of Wisconsin,
of Madison, where he is now engaged
in graduate work. Mr.. Winston is
making a study of strawberry diseases
and mushroom rot.

GRANGER EXPLAINS
PROPOSED ROAD
Parkdale. Nov. Z. 1915.

Editor Hood River Glacier: Some of
our citizens have the idea that the con-
struction of "the Grange road" to snow
line at Cooper's spur from Sec. z, r..
28. R. 10 E. W. NJ, will be taken out
of the proposed $40, 200 road fund for
the Upper Valley loop. and in order to
put everyone right on this matter wish
to say that the grange road is propo-
sition of itself which will be built by
voluntary contribution and not by coun.
" funds After the road is opened for
travel same to be turned over to the
county for maintenance.
The road will be free from all tolls
and is estimated will cost S3500 to
construct as now surveyed on seven
per cent grade its full length of about
u imles and for which funds are being
solicited.
The following mem bers. of Parkdale

proposition and are contributing their

struction. Any information desired by
anyone will be gladly given by the
committee.
This road will lead along what is
known as Doe creek draw, working its
way onto Sand canyon ridge where one
gets a close view of Mount Hood and
Eliot Glacier. Looking to the south
one sees Sand creek with its beautiful
water falls travelling down Sand canyon
many thousand feet below and to the
north one can see over the famous Elk
Meadows and Upper Valley. All this
combined affords view unequalled any
where from a seat in an auto travelling
on seven per cent grade. There are
also fine camping and picnic grounds
just before reaching timber line along
Tilly Jane creek and we believe this
route will be the one great attraction
and drawing card for Hood River coun
ty as well as the Pacific northwest.
