RESIDENTS IN DiST. 3
LIN FAVOR OF CRUSHER
The recent defeat of tho plsn to
; purchase a rook ornehcr in district
No. 3 has lironutit a number of the
residents of thiit district to the de-
fense of the action of the majority
who attended tho meeting and voted
Against it.
4- ' It is claimed by them that the pur
chase of a cruulwr by district 3, which
. could only bave mo for it about two
? month in the year, without some
binding agreuineut with the other dis-
trints in the valley, could very eauily
result in this district being saddled
with the entire expense of the ma
otiiu. Jt ia thought that if the
crusbe" ihould not prove the suocosi
: it ia expect ml to that it would be very
, unlikely that tlie other dlxtrcts wontu
- vote to pay their sliure or the expense.
- One man in tweaking of the out'Stiou
Cited the inntance of the crushflr that
' was bought by the county, half of the
money for which wuh furnished by
Hood liivor and from which Hood
f liiver has never received any bouollt
HJdntiiming, the gentiemau Raid that
"; be oould ay positively that he knew
that a majority of the taxpayers In
, ' district 3 where in favor of having a
'" rook crusher. 'J'bat be bad talked the
matter over with a number of them
' and that they were all in favor of it,
... but they thought that it waa only just
; that the rest ot the districts and tna
town of Hood River should pay their
abare of the expense of it, lie said,
7. too, that sorno of those who had voted
' again (t it were uninformed as to the
f fact that there waa plenty of rock in
the district with which to supply a
; crusher. Hl'noe then they bad inves
, tigated and found that there waa
abundant materia' for this purpose
both In Willow Flat and in Duke
Valley. F. W. Angus also olfora to
furnish any duantity of rock loaded
wagons at bis place.
J. II. Shoemaker, who opposed the
project at tho meeting, said that lie
did ho limply because be did nut
think that this district should assume
any more burdens at present than
were actually necesa ry and for that
reason be voted . against it. lio said,
however, that he was in favor of the
crusher, provided tlie other district
and tho city oould be brought Into
line for it. lie said that the district
bad bad roads and hud the material
with which to 1x them, if it only bad
the machine to do it with, and he
hoped to gee a rock crusher at work
in the valley lief re the end of the
new year. With this end iu view he
advocated selecting three represeuta
tive uiejU from each district and hold
ing meeting to discusa the best plan
of securing one of these much needed
machines.
Otherg who were asked their opin
ion on the matter thought that
meeting of thia klud was a step in
the right direction and that more
could bo accomplished in this way
than any other. They thought that
such a meeting would give each dis
trict an opportunity to preseut their
view on the matter and that the best
plan of procedure could thus be se
cured. PAYS TO FIGHT FRUIT
PESTS AT ALL SEASONS
A timely article appears iu the East
Oregon ian on lighting fruit posts.
The article la' .inspired by tba fuet
that many new orchards have been set
out in unialilla county recently, ami
it jugeft the growers of that county to
commence to care fur their trees while
they are still free of Insects. This pa
per says :
There la uo time of the year when
it does not pay to light fruit pests.
It is with fruit pesta as with consump
tion In the buuiuu yiem a contin
uous, tireless warfare must be made
upon it. iNo relaxation ot vigilance
must be giillered, for every time you
take your hand from the Bword the
enemy gains a step ou you. '
If Umatilla county expectg to hold
the high posltiou she now occupies as
a fruit producing district and expects
to Increase and alrcngthi u her post
tlou in the markets she must produce
clean, whol some, unquestioned fruit.
She cannot compete w ith tirst class
fruits if she produces a second grade
article. Kho cannot guarantee her
product if she dims not know abso
lutely that It is pure and untainted.
And if she cannot guarantee it, bow
can abe expect to gain a front place
among fruit producers?
Umatilla county stands lit tho head
of the list of eastern Oregon counties
as a fruit producer. Climate, gull,
transportation facilities and every
thing needed is favorable. There is
no reason why her fruit production
should not be doubled, am) if it is
doubled it a list lie absolutely clean
if it demands what it is actually
worth In the markets of the world.
It ia a shame to permit the insidi
ous fruit posts to iilvade tho new
young orchards just now turning into
the full Hush of maturity. It is a
shame to permit the pests to creep
into the rich irrigated sections now
being opened up.
Within live years tho fruit growing
area of the county should, and per
haps will bo trebled. New land is be
ing brought under cultivation anil ev
ery foot of it in peach, pear.Jpruue,
apple and cherry laud. Let us chock
the lavages of the posts before they
reaoh tho fresh young orchards. Let
us light ceaselessly to stump out tho
cruse and place Umatilla on the list
aa one untainted district from which
come only pure, wholesome fruits.
It will bo the greatest advertisement
ever issued from tho county.
;ave "Smoker" to (Muitlcmon Friends.
Clay Hrock ffuve a very enjoyable
entertainment to a number of bis
gentlemen friend last Wednesday
evening. The all'air was a "smoker,"
and, of course, tho,, members of the
fair sox were barred. The early part
of the evening was occupied in listen
ing to musical select ions by l'rofoxsor
MoCaUoy, Clarence (lilhort, Mr. Liilf
erty and the host. A tor which a very
appetizing' lunch was served, accom
panied by fragrant llavauas and a
generous pitcher of cider, which was
provided f or'ach party of four who
were seated at individual tables. The
"smoker" was startod by the cere
mony of each gue-t smoking the pipe
of peace, which was succeeded by all
drinking from a loving cup which
wag passed from guest to guest until
it had madatho rounds. The remain
der of thwVcetiiug was spent iu giving
toasts Hmt'-telling stories until a late
hour, when the party dispersed, after
thanking Mr. "Jlrock for a very pleas
ant evening.
struggles not only between tbe rail
ways, but between numerous water
lines, and the conditions of domestic
and foreign markets, mis adjust
ment rests upon a basis go complicated
tbat tbe disturbance of it atone point
must almost nece'garily create dis
turbance at numerous otheis.
"l it possible, then, for any s n
gle tribunal sitting in Washington to
decide npon tbe revision or readjust
ment of relative rates, with sncb wis
dom aud comprehension aa not to cre
ate a hundred complaints in their
erf cits to remove one?
; "It has been claimed tbat rates bave
been largely raised during the past
few yeais by changes of classification
or by Increase in the rates themselves.
While gome speoiflo oases ot increased
rates alleged to be unjust bave been
cited iu tbe testimony now before
Congress, tbey bave not been numer
ous. The chief support of tbe claim
has been tbe slight increase of less
than f ur-tenths of a mill per ton per
mile ou tbe average tonnage of the
entire country from 1899 to l!fl, as
shown iu a response by the InteitUte
Commerce Commission to a resolution
of the Senate, now on record as .-ten
ate Document '!. The weakuess and
fallacy of tbe arguments there I re
sented bave been so thoroughly ex
posed before tbe Senate Committee
that 1 need say only a word to em
phasizo the injustice of asking for
large and dangerous increase of power
of th Interstate Commerce Commia
sion upon such a plea. "

Under a new law all death penalties
are executed at the state prison. Of
the 404 prisoners, three were women.

were 414 prisoners here October 12,

Over 6000 days' work bas been put

good deal of work has been done (in
the road between the Institution and

done by the prisoners In' helping with
the work of putting a new roof ou the
shops, a new floor in tbe shops build
lugs, a new flume for water power,
inside tbe walla, and new ' walks
throughout the grounds. Some $ i2,
