Coolidje Watchmaker & Jeweler Moved to Toggery MOSIER HOLDS BIG MEETING JUDGE WEBSTER ON GOOD ROADS Mosier Hills Boosters Feed Strawberries to Guests from The Dalles, Port land and Hood Kiver. The citizens of the enterprising village of Mosier did themselves proud Saturday evening and Sunday in entertaining a large crowd of busi ness men from The Dalles, Portland and Hood River, who gathered there Saturday evening and remained over Sunday to enjoy a drive over the famous Mosier hills. Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club, spent Saturday in Mosier, having just returned from a big trip through the great central Oregon country so that the excitement really began before the east-bound local arrived in the evening, bearing the Portland and Hood River contingents. Geoneral Passenger Agent William McMurray, of the Harriman lines in Oregon, Assistant General Freight Agent Robinson, William Kittle Wells, of the community publicity bureau, anil other railroad ollicials, came in Mr. McMurray 's private car and a special Pullman sleeper was shunted in at the Mosier siding to care for the overflow from the hotel. Judge Lionel R. Webster, of the State Good Roads movement, and J. Goodman, Oregonian correspondent, were also members of the Portland party. Secretary J, C. Skinner, of the Commercial Club, Burnette K. Duncan, W. H. Walton, Charles A. Mosclcy, .lames E. Mont gomrey, Clay it rock and Charles Larscii were among the Hood Rivi i itrs. Soon after the arrival of the train, a reception committee consisting of most of the town, escorted the crowd to the hall where the ladies of Mosier had prepared a delicious sup per. The main feature of the supper were big luscious strawberries, grown on the farm of the East Hood River Company, which had been hand raised by A. P. Kateham for the oc casion. When the crowd had had their fill of the fine hemes and tasted some ripe cherries which Editor II. G. Kibhee, of the Mosier Bulletin, brought out, they returned to the rail road station to meet the special train which brought 100 boosters from The Dalles headed by Judd Fish, the new publicity rustler of the up river town, and H. G. Miller, of the Chronicle. The Dalles crowd, headed by its own brass band, and all wearing a button bearing the new motto, "The Dalles Makes Good," inarched to the hall where still more supper and straw berries were provided. When they had finished, the speakers were UBhered to the stage by President C. A. McCar gar, of the Mosier Hills Commercial Club, and the love feast commenced. By this time the prettily decorated hall was filled to overflowing and Fred Wlison, District Attorney, of The Dalles, on account of his extensive interests In Mosier, was claimed by the latter to welcome its guests which he did in a happy speech. In response to the welcome, Mr. Wells, of Port land, spoke for the visitors from The Dalles, Hood River and Portland tel ling how glad everybody was to be there. Judge Webster, the principal speaker of the evening, was next called on and he gave a stirring address on Good Roads which won all his hearers to the cause which will result in a great good for the state of Oregon, lie showed how a permanent, hard, smooth road would make a ranch 15 miles away on a mud road as near town as one at present is which only lies three miles away. The distance is measured in time and work required rather than in miles. He showed that at present by the taxation method no county except Multnomah had been able to build an extensive system of perman ent roads. A great amount is expended over and over again each year in repairing roads and according to Judge Webster about the only result tis that two short mud holes are made of one long one. After showing that to build an ex tensive system of permanent highways would mean oppressive taxation, he advocated the changing of the contsitu tion to allow counties to vote bonds for road improvement so that the value added to the farm property by the good roads could take care ol the cost. The program which Judge Webster wishes to see followed is to have a constitutional amendment voted by the initiative at the coming election allowing counties to create a bended indebtedness for road build bur and then for the legislature to concur in the action of the people. Then next year at this time the pro gressive counties of the state can b( voting bonds to build the highways, Judge Webster's remarks seemed t meet with the heartiest approval of the Mosier people, so that he scarcely needed to take up the weak argument which have been made against the bonding plan. The only legitimat argument is that an indebtedness is a bad thing. All extensive permanent improvements are made possible to cities, states and irovernments by the issuance of bonds and whv should not the county have the right to use the same method? The building of roads in Oregon with the bond money will mean the bringing in of iminensi sums of eastern capital, nearly all of which will be expended a tor labo and materials right in the county and , thus add to the wealth of the state. At the close of Judge Webster's remarks, President McCargar read a I letter of greeting from the Sorosis I Club at The Dalles, after which he j introduced Mr. McMurray, who spoke Ion "The lowly Apple. Of course few people in this section ' of the country think there is-anything 1 "lowly" about the apple, and the ' railroad man was of their view if the : many compliments he paid to the prize winning, price getting Mosier apples may be taken as his e-itimate. Mr. McMurray was of the opinion that the starvation cure faddists would not last long in Mosier if they were able to smell the strawberries and apples of that section. He traced the history of the apple, the commonest of afl fruits, and cited the many refreences which are found In the literature of the old times to the apple. Mr. M; Murray's speech showed the result of , much work and research and was highly enjoyed by the listeners. 2 loin Richardson was the last siieaker, and he unbottied enough en tluisiasm to do the Mosier people until he visits that section again. He told them straight a few of their needs which include a hotel, electric lights, an ice and cold storage plant and other modern conveniences. He spoke of his trip just completed into the un developed sections of central Oregon and of the hospitality universally dis played by the pioneers of Oregon. He paid a tribute to the ladies and told them what they could do in making life pleasant for the new settlers who might at tirst be a bit homesick for the friends and relatives they left be hind. He told of the practice among the women of many communities where they have big social meetings especially to get acquainted with the lewcomers and give them a good we!- ome into the great Oregon country. The meeting closed with rousing beers for Moiser by the visitors and The Dalles crowd was escorted back 0 their train. A great many of the visitors re mained over until Sunday when they were taken over the Mosier hills and give this shown the orchards which now promise of record breaking crops all. HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM VICTORIOUS The Howl River High School athletes were victors Saturday in a dual track meet with Jefferson high school, of Portland, winning by a score of 59J to Wl. The day was a bit cool and windy and was not conductive to re- ord breaking although some very good marks were made by the young ithletes. Captain Huggins, champion mile runner of the preparatory schools f the Pacific coast, was the star of the meet, winning three events and taking second place in two others. bus winning elEBOtnta for the Hood River team. The meet was very cIomI) contested until the last four vents, m which Hood Kiver captured 11 hut two of the points. The Port land hoys were strong in the sprints, ait the local lads had them bested n the long runs and the fields events. l'he vaulting pole was broken and the mints were divided for that event. lood River's relay team proved too nuch for the visitors in a very ex iting race which cloKcd the meet. Muggins had no serious competition in he mile and as he was entered in several other events he loped in nearly minute slower than his usual time. Following is the summary of events.

A large crowd accompanied the team ucross the river and there were plenty of rooters to give support to the home boys. Lake, who pitched lor mooci Kiver, strucK out li men anu oiuy al lowed the Washingtoiiians two hits. He pitched a heady game throughout and when Jacobson, the White Salmon second baseman landed on him for a three bagger in the seventh inning he struck out the next two men up and retired the side. Iron for White Sal mon also pitched steady ball, but his support was not quite up to that of the Hood Kiver players. Cantain Johnnie Castner sustained j,n minrv in me eariv mu ui mc . 1 . , ...

Boggess Burned in Attempted Kes- me- Marhine Shop and Garage Burned. Kay S. Utter, a young machinist. was burned to death yesterday morn- . mg in a hre which destroyed the machine shops and garage of the Hood River Manufacturing Engineering Co., causing to that company and other property owners in the vicinity a loss of $25,000. Eugene E. Boggess, another machin ist, lies at the Cottage Hospital seriously burned as the result of a heroic attempt to save the life of Utter, his fellow workman. Utter, who was but 18 years old, and the main support of his widowed mother and brothers and sisters, who resided at 804 East 34th street in Port land, was using a gasoline brazer working on the repair of an auto mobile in the machine shop when an explosion occurred which immediately enveloped him and the whole room in flame. 1 here were no other persons in the room with Utter, and Boggess, who was nearest, rushed in to rescue his fellow workman. The boy, who wis evidently blinded by the explosion, had probably inhaled the flames and seemed unable to help himself and his clothing was all afire. Koggess went mtjo the fire and dragged him toward the door. As he reached the door the flesh slipped from Utter's arms and Boggess, with his own clothing burn ing had to got out and leave the body in the door. The boy had evidently made further attempt to escape, as the body was found in the rums fully ten feet from the point where Boggess was forced to give him up. The explosion came withjut any warning, and a few seconds later the whole of the shops and new garage was a mass of flame. The fire alarm was turned in and practically the en tire town turned out and fought hard to save the buildings in the neighbor hood. A Btrong west wind wsb blow ing, and it seemed for a time that the whole section of town east to the river would be destroyed. The wonderful work of the many people succeeded in holding the flames in check so that, the dwelling owned by D. A. Turner and occupied by F. H. Coolidge and the paint warehouse of J. B. Hunt were the only other buildings completely de stroyed. Within five minutes after the explo sion, all the buildingB which were lost were in flames, and it seemed that it would be impossible to save the resi dences of W. F. Lara way and Carl Vauchan. Some of the furniture from the Coolidge home ,waa saved but the lire Boon made it impossible to go into the building. AH the furniture of the Vaughan and Laraway residences was removed aa it was from several other houses in the neighborhood. Men on the roofs of the two houses with buckets aided the two hose streams which were playing on the main fire and held the flames in check. The Laraway woodshed adjoined the house and had the back part of it burned out. Only the hardest work saved the Vaughan woodshed whcih would have taken the house with it had t burned. The paint warehouse ad joining the macnine snop was destroyed and the kitchen ana uacK part oi me house of J. B. Hunt was burned. Younir Utter, who lost his life, had been here but three months, but he had made many friends and was an expert workman. He lived at the home of J. E. Hanna. It was an hour and a half before the body was recovered from the ruins and it had been burned be yond recognition. The remains were taken to Hartmess undertaking esiao lishment and prepared to be taken to Portland today for burial. The mother of the dead boy came here last night. The new uaragc of the Manufactur es and Engineering company was not quite finished and there were two auto- . . . .... . i m 1 mobiles in it at tne time oi ine explo sion, these were noin tasen out part ly damaged. The principal stockhold ers of the Engineering company were: li. N. Young, O. H. Rhoades and L. 1). Boycd. The damage suffered by the company was in the neighborhood of $20,tXK) with 2,500 insurance. The last policy for $1000 had oeen taken out on the garage just two days before the fire. The loss ol the t urner nouse is $2000, and there was some insurance. The loss to J. B. Hunt of materials and buildings was about $1,000 and there was insurance which will proba bly cover it. F. H. Coolidge lost fur niture to the value of several hundred Inllars. The furniture and houses of Laraway and Vaughan were considera te damaged by smoke, water and rough handling but insurance will cover the losses. E. E. Boggess, who was burned so severely, went to Plath's drug store where he was cared tor by ur. uumbie and later taken to the Cottage Hospi tal. His burns are very painful but for the most part are not deep and it Is not anticioated will be dangerouB. The principal burns are about the face, neck and arms. LOGGING TRAIN KILLS RRAKEMAN FARR Falling between the cars of a log ging train on the Mt. Hood railroad, near Camp One above Dee Monday afternoon, Brakeman Cecil Earl Fair had his head and one arm ground from his body and met instant death. Farr was assisting in switching the logging train and accidentally fell beneath the wheels with the horrible result that he was ground to pieces before the train could be stopped. Farr, was 23 years old and unmarried. He had come from Ogden, Utah, two years ago and has been employed by the Eccles interests here. The ac cident happened about three o'clock Monday afternoon and the body was brought to this city that evening on a special engine. The remains were shipped to Ogden Tuesday evening where fizra r arr, xatner oi ure ueu man, resides. Mrs. J.JW. West and W. D. Littlefield, of Dee, cousins of the deceased, accompanied the body to Ogden.
