The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1917-05-03

The city of Hood River may purchase
the Hakel spring to supplement the
supply of q million gallons of water
daily now received for distribution in
the municipal water system from the
Tucker spring. No work, according to
pesent plans. will be undertaken until
next year.
If the Hakel spring is not secured,
it is likely that additional work will be
done at the headworks reservoir at the
Tucker spring, where large volume
of water is going to waste. In order
to save this wastage it will be neces-
sary to construct q second reservoir
beneath the old one, and lift the water
from the former by means of a pump.
The Hakel spring, it is stated, may be
purchased for 81, 200, and it is thought
that the new spring can be bought and
developed for q lesser sum than it will
cost to save the waste water from the
old spring.
Accompanying City Water Superin-
tendent Price, Councilmen Cuddeford,
Scobee and Walters visited the head
works of the water system Sunday.

ing hats, shoes, etc., that will yet be
worth the price of somebody's money,

have in the attic. some piece of furni-
ture not in use--a piece of bric-a-brac,
an ornament of some kind that will be
useable by somebody; magazines, old
papers, and in fact anything you may
send that anybody can use, even if the
price we put on it is small, will do its
share toward swelling a fund we are
trying to raise. Anything that may
be used on the ranch, from a spray
nozzle to plough or sprayer will be
acceptable, 80 do not overlook anything
that will bring FIVE cents or more.
After reading this article will you
please look about the house at once and
see what it is you will send for the
rummage sale, so that you may feel
you are doing your part, which is part
first.
Now as to part second. Due notice

small prices asked we shall be pleased
to accept your money and you may be
sure you will be helping yourself to
bargains, and many of them, as all
article will be very reasonable.

this sale big success. Our object is

essary work in connection with the Red
Cross that it may be called upon to dc
so we are out for preparedness and
safety first.

OF BAD FAITH

In an answer to the complaint filed
Tuesday, in a lawsuit bought against
the sales organization several days ago
by the Hood River Orchard Co., Fred
W. Wilson, of TIE Dalles, and A. E.
Clark, of Portland, the Apple Growers
Associations attorneys aver that the
plaintiff concern is owned and con-
trolled by H. F. Davidson, who is
bringing the suit in bad faith for the
purpose of harrassing the cooperative
agency and getting control of valley
storage plants for his own ends.
The answer, ,26 typewriter pages and
one of the longest legal documents ever

of the organization Of the Apple Grow

FORMER oAkEslTE
HAS MARROW ESCAPE

Sheldon, N. D., Nov. 30.-E. H. Pfen-
niger, manager of the Coburn Farm
ers' elevator narrowly escaped death
when his clothing caught in a coupling
on the drive shaft.
Every stitch of clothing, but socks,
shoes and one pant leg. was torn from
his body and wound so tightly around
the shafting that it was only with
great difficulty that they could be cut
away. Pfeninger was thrown from his
feet and hurled around the shaft, re-
gaining consciousness few moments
later and finding himself standing up
on his feet on the other side of the
shaft. Aside from a cut on the face
and bruises on his arms he is none the
worse for his experience.
After he had secured another outfit
of clothing, Pfeninger boxed in the
coupling to prevent another accident.
A former manager of the elevator was
killed two years ago by the same ma
chinery.
