them to his White Salmon valley farm.
He showed me lemon trees full of fruit
at most ready to ripen. He has large
luscious figs a plenty. Mr.. Walther
has brought from his native country
some of those peculiar pear trees that
grow on trellises.
at is worth the while of anyone to
visit the Walther place. In addition to
the trees, he has patches of all varie-
ties of berries, and he has demonstrate
ed that a number of grain crops grown
so successfully in European countries,
can be brought to successful harvest

Oregon Lumber Co. Mill Burns

With loss estimated at $45, 900 to
$50, 900 the sawmill Of the Baker Ore
gon Lumber Co. was completely de.
stroyed by fire Monday afternoon, the
blaze originating in the boiler room.
Strenuous efforts by iremen and mill
employees saved the planning mill, the
dry kilns and the Sumpter Valley rail-
road buildings.
The only loss in addition to the saw
mill was a small amount of lumber and
some sheds. The fire throws so men
out of work for few days, but will
not force the planning mill to close.
The company is planning to run day
and night crews at the Whitney and
Austin sawmills until the local mill
can be rebuilt.

porting handsome catches. A number
of large silversides have been landed
at the mouth of the White Salmon riv-

have in the past few days caught a
large number of salmon trout, which
always accompany the run of chinook

WHITE SALMON.

The White Salmon Commercial club
has received word from North Yakima
that Chas. l. Signer, chief location
engineer of the state highway depart
ment, and crops of six surveyors, have
started for the Simcoe mountains to
run the survey for the proposed Yak
ma-Columbia highway.
George Canavan and wife. of Port
land. were guests of J. r. White and
family recently. Mrs. White and
daughter made the trip over the
Columbia highway with the Caravans,
who own large Packard automobile.
and when the Caravans returned Sat-
urday, Bob White returned with them
for a ride over the highway. Mr..
Canavan is a sister of Mrs. White.
A big time is in store for the Masons
and people of this county, as it is un-
derstood that the Trout Lake Masons
are planning to confer degrees in 1917
on candidates in the most primitive
fashion ever heard of. The big lava
caves of the Trout Lake section are
to be used and if the lodge is permit
ted by the state lodge to carry on its
plans, this affair will draw hundreds
and perhaps thousands of people.
The 15 months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew N. Murray, Of Portland,
was killed Sunday, August 27. when
Mrs. Murray was driving near Laurel.
1t happened when Mrs. Murray tried
to turn around, making the turn too
sharp causing the wagon to tip over
and throwing the child out. Mrs. Muir
ray was also thrown out but was not
injured. 1t was then that the mules
became frightened and ran for nearly
a mile and a half. During the runa-
way another child was thrown out of
the wagon. but received no injuries.
Mrs. Murray IS the daughter of Mrs.
J. C. Warner, of Trout Lake. The
Murrays had been ort for hazel nuts
and it was on the homeward trip that

MUNICIPALITIES MAY
EXCLUDE TERRITORY

The recent decision of the supreme
courtin the case of the Flavel Land
Co. Tvs. Warrenton. wherein the court
handed down the opinion that the resi-
dents of an incorporated town by direct
vote might exclude territory from the
corporate limits of the city has aroused
a keen interest here and may lead to
an election in this municipality to vote
out of the town the steel bridge across
Hood river, connecting the city with
the East Side orchard district.
Futile informal negotiations between
city and county officials over the ques-
tion of the bridge have been condcuted
for several years. The limits of the
city not only include the bridge but a
half mile stretch of road leading up
the East Side grade. The upkeep of
both bridge and road burden the city
with expensive maintenance and it has
long been argued by many citizens that
the river structure and highway are
properly county thoroughfares.
A similar case is involved at the city
of Mosier. where several years ago
shortly after the citizens voted for in
corporation and adopted charter the
question of excluding bridge across
Mosier creek arose. Judge Derby, of
this city. who was attorney for the
city, advised that the territory might
be excluded by vote of the citizens. and
an election for the settlement of the
matter was at one time imminent.
Fearing the expense of litigation over
the matter, the Mosier people, how
ever, dropped the case.
The decision Of the supreme court,
parallel with the opinion of Judge Der
by. advanced at the time of the Mosier
question, is to the effect that since the
power to make amendments to char.
ter providing for the exclusion of terri
tory was formerly within the jurisdic-
tion of the state legislature, the same
power rests with the people, since they
have been empowered by direct vote tU
make charter amendments.
