"As now understand the situation.
says Geo. R, Wilbur, attorney for the

The rights of the irrigation district

l. N. BLOWERS HEADS
HUGHES ALLIANCE

With more than 200 members the
Hood River branch of the National
Hughes Alliance was made permanent
last Thursday night, the following
officers being elected:
L. N. Blowers, chairman; Frank A.
Cram, vice chairman; W. n. Walton.
secretary; F. II. Isenberg, treasurer.
Tentative plans were made for
huge Republican rally to be held here
on the evening of Saturday, October
Ia, when. according to plans, ex-Sena.
tor Charles W. Fulton. will deliver the
chief address of the day.
The following men were appointed to
represent the Hood River Alliance at
the state meeting held in Portland on
the following day. J. r. Nickelsen,
A. P. Reed and Roy d. Smith.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the Alliance was addressed by
Hon. E. L. Smith, ]. Z. Lucas, Roy ID.
Smith, G. d. Nickelsen and others. A
great deal of enthusiasm and support
for Hughes was reported from all sec
tions of the county. In his talk before
the meeting E. l.. Smith said that the
attempt of Democratic politicians to
compare Wilson with Lincoln was ri-
diculous. The two men. he said, we're
no more alike than q mud turtle and
an elephant. The failures of Mr.. Will
sons policies compared to the great
achievements of Abraham Lincoln
we're, he said. almost an insult in link
ing the two mems names together. He
characterized the Democratic admins
tration as weak. inefficient and evasive
on all the great questions vital to the
American people and wound up by say.
ing that there was never a period in
the history of the country when it so
needed return to the wise and beniti-
cent policies of Republican admins
tration as at the present time. He
believed, he said. that in MIR. Hughes
the Republican party had strong
man. man who would do things that
would rebound to the credit of the ma
tion abroad and bring real prosperity
and stability to its affairs at home.

Plain Questions to
Hood River People
Every Hood River Reader Will Admit
the Soundness of the Logic.


Would Hood River people recommend

show the remedy to be deserving of it.?

Slashing Fire Alarms

When a large slashing near Green
Point was burned Sunday afternoon by
forest rangers, the great column Of
smoke seen by residents of the valley
created an alarm. 1t was thought that
forest fire was in progress. The
smoke. SO thick as to obscure Green
Point mountain, was seen by many val.
ley motorists, and the Office of the
Stanley Smith Lumber Company at the
Green Point mill was kept busy answer
ing queries.
The slashing fire was guarded by a
corps of forestry men.

Current Shifts Sands

The strong current of the Columbia
has caused such shift in the huge
sandbar lying just north of the city
that ferry traffic between Hood River
and Underwood has been made difficult.
While the ferry landing is within
stones throw of the business section of
the city during high water stages, the
huge sandbar that is piled up a little
deeper each year. at the low water
stage makes it necessary for the Hood
River Underwood ferry boats to land
over a mile from the city. Because of
the shallow water on the sandbar, il is
necessary to land at float anchored
distance in the stream, and passengers
are then taken ashore in light skiff.

and utensils at soda fountains, in sa-
looms and other public places should be
enforced. Flies, reaches and other YER
min, by coming in contact with infect
i've sccretions, may possibly convey
them to our food and thus directly
bring about. the development of disease
Therefore eliminate insects. Street
and house dust bear a definite relation
to the spread of many infections and
it is not unreasonable to presume that
they may be II factor in the dissemina-
ton of infantile paralysis. Maintain
strict cleanliness of streets, yards and
alleys in order to prevent the breeding
of insects and other vermin. See that
all garbage and waste are properly
cared for and collected at regular and
frequent intervals. Guard all food sup
plies, especially milk and other per-
ishnble products. Digestive troubles
of children arising from the ingestion
of food of questionable quality may
lower resistance. Assemblies of chill
dren in infected localities are to be
discouraged, if not absolutely forbid

sense general, and applicable to many
epidemic diseases, their importance
should not be overlooked.
Individual preventive measures may
be thus summarized:
Summon Il physician and immediate
" notify the health officer of the pres
ence of the disease. If the disease is
present in the community, medical aid
should be sought whenever child is
sick no matter how slight the illness !;
many eases of infantile paralysis be-
gin with slight indispositioa. Should
the illness prove to be infantile paraly-
sis isolate the patient, place compe-

| communication with the sick room to a
minimum. Hospital care is preferable,
not only for the child but in order to
better safeguard against the spread of
| the disease. The sick room should be
well ventilated and screened. Nasal
and mouth secretions should be re-
ceived in cloths, placed in paper
bag, ami burned. The clothing of the
child, the bed linen, and the excretions
should be disinfected in the same man
ner as for typhoid fever, that is by
boiling, the long continued application
of 5 per cent carbolic, or other well re-
cognized disinfectant The same is

HORSE CARRIES BOY TO DEATH.
Walks Into Connecticut River at Ferry
Landing.

The Connecticut river claimed anoth-
er victim Sunday night when George
Moore of Fitzdale lost his life at the
ferry at South Lunenburg. The body
was recovered Monday morning near
the place where he and his horse were
drowned.
The boy, who was II years old, had
been driving with Miss Lucretia Pow
ers of South Lunenburg and was re-
turning to his home, having left the
young woman at her residence.
1t is supposed that he fell asleep
and the horse, instead of waiting at
the ferry, plunged into the river. Peo-
pie nearby heard the splash and hur-
ried to the ferry to find that the horse,
carriage and driver had disappeared
from sight.
The water is very deep at that point
and it was impossible to rescue them.
The drowned man was employed by
the Fitzdale Paper company. He leaves
a mother, step-father and several
brothers and sisters.
