WATER SURVEY STOPS
FOR LACK OF FUNDS

Rhea Luper. H. X. Donnely and R.
C. Ingraham, engineers for the State
Water Board, who have been here en-
gagged in making survey of irrigable
land of the Hood river watershed and
securing other data to be used in the
final adjudication of claims on the riv-
er, have been forced to discontinue the
task because Of lack of funds in the
department. Geo. T. Cochran, eastern
Oregon water superintendent. who was
here last week from La Grande. says
that the work will be resumed as soon
as an appropriation has been made by
the legislature.
The crew of engineers had finished
about a third of their task. Three
months time will be required to CON-
plete the work.
1--WE will continue" says MIR. Coch.
ran, Ito make observations on the river
and guage the flow of streams.
The water boards survey was
brought about recently by a decision of
the supreme court referring to the
board the case of the Oregon Lumber
Co. VS.. the East Fork Irrigation Dis
trict. the litigation involving conflict
ing claims to the water of the East
Fork of Hood river. Following the
water boards survey. an adjudication
of all claims in the watershed will be
made

SHIPPERS FAIL TO
FULLY LOAD CARS

That apple shippers are not making
the most of their opportunities in get
ting fruit moved from producing dist.
ricts to markets, is the declaration OF
Chas. T. Early, manager Of the Mount
Hood Railroad Co. Despite the acute
car shortage, Mr.. Early says that ship
pers continue to load refrigerator cars
with only $50 boxes Of fruit. when the
freezers will carry from 1854 to 936
boxes.
1--WE kept an account of loading on
our line in October" says Mr.. Early.
''and we find that 62 refrigerator cars
of fruit were shipped. Shippers we're
using three cars when the apples might
have been handled in two. Out of the
62 cars loaded with the minimum num-
ber of boxes, the shippers of apples
lost the total capacity of l9 cars. 1t
is true. as apple shippers argue, that
in numerous instances purchasers will
only take the minimum quantity. but it
is also true that many of the freezers
loaded out are routed to the p0pulous
centers and ! see no reason why they
should not be filled with the maximum
quantity"

ORCHARD CONCERNS
CASE TO BE TRIED

The first round in the case of the
State versus the Associated Fruitgrow-
ers and County Judge Stanton and r.
+. Marquis, respectively president and
secretary OF the corporation recently
declared insolvent by State Corporation
Commissioner Sehulderman, occurred
here last week, when Judge Bradshaw
overruled a demurrer of W. n. Wilson,
an attorney of The Dalles who was re-
tained by Judge Stanton. Mr.. Wilson
demurred to the complaint on the
ground that the allegations did not
furnish sufficient facts to constitute a
case.
At the beginning of the apple har-
vest on tracts owned by the Associated
Fruitgrowers, Z. N. Benson was ap-
pointed receiver of the concern on
complaint of District Attorney Derby.
The complaint alleges that Judge Stan
ton and Mr.. Marquis frsudulently
turned over to themselves as officers Of
the company 4640 shares of stock, the
par value Of each being $40, in pay
ment for land transferred to the cor
poration formed in the fall of 1914. II
is declared that mortgage Indebtedness
of approximately SIS. 600 existed against
the land. although it was not worth at
the time of the transfer a greater sum
than $40, 900. Holders of mortgages on
two of the three tracts transferred
have already foreclosed.
For the benefit of minority stock
holders, who have purchased l047
shares of the stock, Judge Derby has
asked for a judgment against Judge
Stanton for the difference between the
actual cash value of the land less in.
cumbrances and the par value of the
4640 shares of stock received in pay
ment for the land.
1t has been impossible to reach Mr..
Marquis, in the poceedings, he having
left here last winter. He is said to
now reside at Bismark, N. ID.
The case will come on for trial at a
term next year.

Liquor Shipments Grow

The adoption by the people of Oregon
of the Bone Dry" prohibition law has
stimulated to a marked degree local
receipts of liquor since election day.
The records of the American Express
office last Friday showed that 95 pack
ages, each containing two quarts, of IL
quor had been delivered for the past
week. Shelves of the Office we're load
ed with packages of strong drink.
These figures are considerably in ex-
cess of those of last month, when an
average of seven packages per day
were delivered here.
Since the election approximately a
fourth of the money orders issued by
the postoffice have been in payment for
liquor ordered from California points.
More than $3.50 were sent away in
money orders for liquor the week fol-
lowing election.

NICK SINNOTT HERE
With HIS RABBIT HAT

N. j. Sinnott, of The Dslles, repre-
sentative In congress from the eastern
Oregon district, was here on last
thursday investigating the case of
T. ID. Tweedy, a member of Candy
Post, G. A. R., who has applied for an
increase of pension. Mr.. Tweedy is an
invalid, suffering from paralysis of al
most his entire body. Mr.. Sinnott
stated that he would introduce bill
asking for the increase, since Mr..
Tweedy was found in every way de-
serving.
Representative Sinnott. while here
wore his noted fedora hat, made form
the fur of eastern Oregon Jack rab-
bits. While in town he interviewed a
number of representative citizens on
the proposed federal building. a $50. 600
fund for which is included in bill
soon to be acted upon by congress.
Representative Sinnott says that Hood
River is in line for a building, the
psstoffice showing receipts to justify
the expenditure. He stated, however.
that he found many local men opposed
to the construction of such building.
"As the appropriation stands" said
Mr.. Sinnott. at will be acted on IA
yorably. and Hood River can have the
building. If local men do not want it
they should get petition to me to
guide me and stand as protection for
my future actions.
Citizens opposed to the building of a
local postoffice declare that the appro-
ration would be "pure pork" it being
argued that federal structure is not
needed and that it will cost the gov
eminent more to maintain such a
structure than is now paid in rent for
postoffice quarters. The present rental
for the postoffice quarters is $50 per
month, including light and heat. 1t is
said that janitor service for new
structure would cost nearly that
amount each month.

WHITE SALMON.
(From the Enterprise

John Perry drove in bunch OF beef
for the Hood River market this week.
The cold snap the fore part of the
week caught several orchardists in the
White Salmon valley before they had
picked their apples. However, the loss
was small.
The frost had not yet done any dam
age in the White Salmon valley up to
Tuesday noon according to Paul Nc.
Kercher. The greater part of the crop
has been picked and already shipped.
However, he reports that some grow.
ers on the higher altitude of the Un-
derwood Flat had been caught before
the fruit had been picked and the fruit
is damaged. There will also be some
little damage on the mountain district,
as some orcharidsts had either not yet
started to pick or had little fruit
picked when the heavy frost came.

earthly.
The Judge studied musical love- carefully,
weighing its beauties against it's dangers, and
then intimated that if he ever felt it attacking
him, he'd snub the musical lady obsessed with it.
Then, he gave Mrs Rihm separation papers and
will soak Alexander for alimony later on.
This decision is important because it is really
possible for two intensely artistic natures to love
each other, innocently, without base relations,
and it is well to know that, where such terrible
condition exists, the nepenthe consists of the
usual alimony.

Musical love- is waited to us on the wires as

the court has said that it doesn't 60, every mar
ried man should be posted about it.
Alexander Rim, of Brooklyn, N. Y, is per-
fectly good music professor. His temperament
Is high and nervous. His eyes are dreamy and
he has lovely Vandyke beard. He is the per
sonification of artistic temperament, on two
legs and wearing whiskers, and thought of
earthly sentiment could hardly be attributed to
Alexander.
One day, Mrs Rihm got hold of letter from
one of the professors pupils, a Miss Sittig, who
moves in high society and has no SLOUGH of an ar
tistic temperament herself, whereupon Mrs.
Rihm sued for divorce, testifying that she came
upon Alexander kissing, hugging and press
ing Miss Sittig, fortissimo and pianissimo.
Also, Miss Sittig letter spoke of yearnings and
heart throbs of soul mates.
