COCHRAN HERE
ON DECEMBER 5
WILL HEAR WATERRICHTS PROOF
Another Chapter in Adjudication Of Hood
River Water Shed Approaches
Parkdale Meeting

With survey of the entire water
shed of the Hood River completed and
after exhaustive tests and observations
of hygraphic parties, Geo. T. Cochran.
of La Grande, superintendent of the
Eastern Oregon Water Division, has
announced that he will be here on
Wednesday, December S, to begin har-
ing testimony of those wishing adjudi-
-cation of rights to use of the waters of
the stream or its tributaries. Testi-
mony will be taken at Parkdale on the
following day.
The action of the water board in
taking a survey of the tillable lands
of the Hood River watershed follows
a decision of the Supreme Court year
before last in remanding the case of
the Oregon Lumber Company versus
the East Fork Irrigation District, ap-
pealed by the plaintiff corporation
from decision of the late Judge W. L.
Bradshaw The case involved the
rights of waters to the East Fork of
Hood River. 1t was cited in the Su-
preme Court decision that the one case
might be followed by numerous others,
and the case was remanded to the Cir
cult Court with the instruction that
testimony as to the rights of water in
the entire watershed be taken, in order
that final adjudication of the entire
valley might be made.
| Affecting practically the entire $10,-
900, 600 assessed valuation of the val.
ley, no local litigation has ever created
keener interest.
| The Hood River postoffice force
fully realized last week the magnitude
of the task of affecting an adjudication
of the rights to water of Hood River
and its tributaries, for Friday and Sat.
urday the Office has transmitted from
Mr.. Cochran 1900 registered letters to
valley land owners and patrons of irri.
cation systems, who are asked to pre-
sent certain proofs of the water rights
at the meetings called here.
| Each registered letter required IA
cents in postage. The total postage
was Sl6S.

Mrs. r. E. Scott, who recently re-
turned from Indianapolis, brought
back with her the following recipe for
War Butter" which Mr.. Scott. pro-
nouncing it o. K, turns in that others
may learn of it:
The butter is made from creamery
butter and it yields two and one-fourth
pounds for every pound of butter used.
To each pound of butter use one pint
of rich milk; one tablespoon of gela-
tine, one tablespoon of salt. Cream
the butter as for cake (squeezing it
through the hands, Dissolve the gel
atine las for pudding) and stir until
thoroughly mixed. When about luke
warm-warm as new milk-pour slow
ly over the creamed butter Ito which
has been added the salD and beat with
an egg, bester until well mixed, smooth
and thick. Take spoon and ladle
onto plate, and as you do this each
spoonful will set, piling up into firm
butter"

MONROE ASKS FOR

Geo. Monroe, prominent in affairs of

court be asked to levy half mill tax
for the completion of the proposed

Y. M. C. A. DRIVE
Is NEXT WEEK
STAGE ALL SET FOR LOCAL WORK
Visitors Give Stirring Addresses at
Dinner Given by Butler Team
Captains are Named

At dinner given Friday night at
the Mount Hood hotel by Leslie But
Ter, who has been made chairman of
the Hood River county executive COM
mittee, to a score of the ministers,
business and professional men of the
city. an organization for next weeks
Y. M. G. A. drive was perfected.
While Hood River county's quota had
been tentatively placed at $1,000 by
the central state committee. it was
decided at this meeting to set the goal
at 81, 500.
The dinner was attended by DR..
Frank Naples, pastor of the Congre-
gational church of The Dalles, and
w. E. Wright, acting secretary of the
Portland Y. M. C. A. Both men de-
livered stirring addresses.
Other members of the Y. M. c. A.
Drive Executive committee were
named as follows: j. O. Mclaughlin,
d. G. Cruikshank, E. c. Smith and
Truman Butler. Mr.. Cruikshank was
made campaign manager. A publicity
committee composed of Mr.. Smith,
Joe ID. Thomson and R. B. Bennett,
was appointed. The following cap
tains of 10 soliciting teams were
named: ]. W. Critics, J. M. Culbert-
son, E. 0. Blanchar, Rev. H. L. Hut
ton. A. F. Bickford, H. A. Mcdonald,
]. E. Ferguson, A. j. Brunquist, C. N.
Ravlin and J. H. Hazlett.
The Army Y. M. C. A. work is be-
ing done under the auspices of the fed
eral government. 1t is proposed to
raise a grand total of $35, 900, 900,
which, according to estimates, will be
needed for the great work between 0c-
tober l, 1917, to July l, 1918.
Millions will be spent in France for
work with United States troops where
less than 100000 was estimated in
April as the probable expenditure
abroad this year. With coal at $50
ton it will cost $750,000 to heat the
American "Y" huts in France this
winter.
In this country 500 army buildings
costing from S., 600 to $1,000 each will
be erected as compared with the April
estimate of 200 buildings at $1,000
each; $500 army secretaries will be in
the field by the end of the year instead
of 1000 as estimated in April.
Before the end of the third year of
the war the people of Canada had
contributed over $4,000, 600 for patri-
otic funds. If the United States fol-
lows the lead of Canada in sacrifciai
giving and gives according to its popu-
lation and wealth, the people of this
country will contribute $1,000, 900, 900
to patriotic funds. Montreal has con-
tributed over $l1, 900. 900 in recent
wears to patriotic. philanthropic and
charity funds. Its third patriotic
funds totaled S4,376, 900. A city that
believes it has reached its limit in Civ
ing should compare its resources with
Montreal.

HOOD RlVER-MOSIER
WORK IS EXPENSIVE

| One of the most expensive sections
of the Columbia River Highway will
be the six mile stretch between Hood
River and Mosier. According to the
estimate of the state highway engineer
the cost of the proposed grading will
be $352, 900 or an average of $50, 900
per mile. This is more than the cost
of some sections in Multnomah county
1t is hardly fair though to make
| comparison with the Multnomah county
| work which was done three years ago
when the cost of labor and material
was much less than at present.
One great factor in the expense of
the Hood River-Mosier work will be
| the fact that it lies close to the rail-
road and must be done with extreme
caution to avoid injury to life and
property. In places the road will have
to be cut out of rocky bluff above the
railway track and only small blasts can
be exploded. This makes the work
extremely costly. Extra precautions
will also need be taken. An extraor-
dinary example of modern highway en-.
gineering is building the road around
a rocky point projecting into the river
and looking back on the rock above the
mouth of the railway tunnel.
Other rocky-points will be cut away
| and in places viaducts will be con-
structed where it will be dangerous to
cut into slopes.
The State Highway Commission will
open bids for the work at its regular
meeting this month. Owing to the
fact that the work is mostly rock exca-
walton it is expected that it can be
prosecuted during the winter months.
| 1t is the desire Of the State Highway
Commission to have the grade finished
by the first of next June.
Four miles of the work will be in
Hood River county and two miles in
Wasco county. The estimated cost of
the Hood River end is $2l3, ,094 and
that of the Wasco end $3.50, 230.
Grading of the Highway in Hood
River county between the Multnomah
county boundary and Cascade Locks is
practically completed, making it possi-
Bile in short time to open the High
way again as far as Cascade Locks.
On the section between Cascade
Locks and Wyeth, where an entirely
new grade is being made, three steam
shovels are at work.
1t is expected to have all the earth
excavation finished before the rainy
season sets in. From a scenic stand.
point this section will be surprise
when it is opened up.

said that registration for this course is
progressing rapidly, although begun
only five days ago. A few days more
win probably see full registration of
rs students, after which time no fur
ther applications will be accepted.
This is fact which we wish all to
understand" says Mr.. Brown. 1--WE
believe sufficient publication has been
given to this fact, SO that those tardy
in filing applications will have no cause
for complaint should they be unable to
enroll. A number of applications have
been received which have not been ac-
companied by the registration fee of
81. These positively will not be ac-
cepted until remittance is made.
1.-THE course as outlined covers a
wide field, the lecture or laboratory
work being coordinated with practical
demonstrations in the field. The grow
er who does not avail himself of this
course will miss an opportunity rarely
afforded growers here. Applications
should be sent to G. G. Brown. We
will appreciate offers made by grow.
ers to open their orchards for class
work in practical demonstrations. "
