A Happy Year New F. H. Coolidge JEWELER WATER GRADE ROAD NEEDED RANCH OWNERS PLAN TO ACT Meeting Called Tuesday to Take Steps to Build a Trunk Road Through Valley on Water Grade. A number of ranch owners in the valley met Tuesday at tho olliee of Davidson Bros., on Oak street, and dis cussed the matter of building a trunk wagon road from the city with the idaa of eliminating; some of the heavy grades and hills which have to be traveled now in Retting in and out of town. It is the project which was started a year or more ago and which has never got beyond the promotion stage. It is 'proposed to begin at a point near Front street, running along the side of the bluff on the west side of Hood River for a distance, then crossing to the east side of the river. A grade could be maintained of from one to three per cent, which would be less than the grade of Oak street in the business district. On the Fast Side, this would eliminate the heavy grade and long hillhetween The Dalles road and the steel bridge. On the West Side it would eliminate the Dav idson hill. It is proposed to 'run later als from this main trunk road at inter vals, making use of ravines or drain age slopes to connect with the main traveled road, so that the main trunk road could be reached from either side of the river from two miles out. It would make a trotting grado going out of town, and would double the capacity of load hauling into town, which are now limited to the heavy grade up and Davidson hill on the west side and the Neal Creek and other grades on the East Side. The advantage of such a road is ap parent, and would increase the value of the ranches in a large area of the valley, both east and west. The un- dertaKing is a big one, however, as the county has its hands full in im proving the roads already laid out and traveled, and if the new road dedi cated and graded it will mean that considerable money must be raised by subscription and considerable time de voted to the project by those who can see the great benefits which must arise from its promotion. As the road would go through land for the most part of ittle value, the cost of right ot way should be nominal, except where nec essary to cross through good improved and. and but little land or thai miiure will be encountered. A party will make the trip over the proposed line of road in a few days and eport at a meeting to be caueu later, when steps will be taken to form a permanent organization and push the matter through to completion, so l.hat work can be commenced early In the spring. Those attending the meeting Tuesday were: r. L.. uaviuson, r. a. Davidson, F. P. Friday, L. A. Her man, E. K. Manning, Marion Macuae, A. W. Peters, W. E. Sherman, A. D at the Oregon Agricultural College, opening January 3, 1911 and continuing until February ' 10, 1911, 1 wish to say as a student of that school and as a fellow fruit-grower of the valley, that no one desiring knowledge along any of the lines of Agriculture should al low this opportunity to pass them. The college makes it possible, by this free course (free not only to resi dents of the state but also to any one from any section) for our farmers to take up lines of study and practice for u few weeks, that may be put into val uable use during the growing periods of their crops and give them an insight into many little details and principles involved in the correct growing of crops along the most eeonorrieal and profitable lines. The lectures included in the course will be triven bv eminent specialists frrom all parts of the United States, about 50 in number, and illustrated with lantern slides, laboratory work, and orchard practice. Having been a student at the College 1 can appreciate the help this course has been to those who have availed themselves of it and trust that every farmer who if possible can will attend this term. Roy C. Brock. Teachers to Give Rtccption.

It is the desire of the teach ers that they get acquainted with the parent of their respective pupils Unit they can work more in harmony for the bettor interests of the pupils. Re freshments will be nerved by the high school rfirls of the Domestic Science class. A genuine social good time is anticipated. HEILBIuWRliLOCK IS NOW FINISHED Moe, J. Mason. M. Schmeltzer and A. I.

LOCAL GIANTS DEFEAT PORTLAND ALL-STARS Having failed at the last minute in securing a Christmas game with either The Dulles Columbius or the Wabash Independents, of Portland, the Hood Kivcr Giants lined up aguinst un all star team chosen from six Portland athletic clubs. The Portland team was made up of players from the fol lowing teams: Wabinh Independents, Catholic Young Men's Club, Stevens' Athletic Club, Piedmont Stars, East Side and McLaughlin Athletic Club. The first quarter ended with no score, but tho ball was in Portland's territory most of the time. The Hood River Giants excelled in teum work, while the all-stars outclassed Hood Kiver in punting and in individual playing. In the second quarter Hood River scored twice, both time sending Coshow over the line. Tho third iiuarter was sensational with Baker's long end runs and espec ially the .twenty .five yard run for a touchdown kept the spectators supplied with excitement. "Tull'y" Coshow's touchdown made through the All-star's line wasone'of tho best plays seen on Hood River's field this year. Tho third and fourth quarters were com bined. McAllen, the All-stur Bafety, was always in the gamo for Portland but was taken out of the game on ac count of an injury. Lawrence ulso played a steady game. Both irCoshows, Sexton, and Garra brant, plavnl u steady game for Hood River while Buker and Ross and Tom my played a sensational game. The latter played a strong gurne, carrying the ball for good gains and was a men ace to the opposing players in tne line. The line-up of the Giants as follows: fiosR. center: Grant, right guard; Sexton. Baker, II. Coshow, right tackle: Dabney, right end: Hartley, Moe, left end; Kent, left tackle; Tom my, Garrarant, left guard; Bell, J. Coshow, quarter; II.

Kespecttully submitted, Hood River Light and Power Co. A. Welch, Pres. The matter was referred to the city attorney for his opinion as to whether the company could give title. The following ordinance was passed: Ordinance No. 2(51. An ordinance to protect the fire apparutus of the City of Mood Kiver, Oregon and prohibiting il.o turning in of false tiro alum s. The city of Hood Uivir dues oiiluin as follows : Section 1. No person or persons having control of any vuhicce, automo bile or other conveyance ihult permit the same to obstruct the progress of th apparatus of t.ie tire department of the City of Hood River in going to a fire. Section 2. No person shall wilfully injure any engine, house, hose, horses, engine carriage, hose-cart or other aparatus of the fire department of the City of Hood River; nor shall any per son drive tiny vehicle, automobile, truck or other conveyance over any hose belonging to the hie department of the City of Hood Rivor when the samo is laid for the purpose of extin guishing fires. Section 3.

Section 4. Any person violating any of the provisions of this ordinance shall upon conviction in the Recorder's Court of the City of Hood River, be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 for each and every offense. A petition was presented by J, I. Butchelder asking thnt the council consider the matter of opening a street along the railroad right of way from Third to Sixth street and the same was referred to the street committee. This road is urged by the vinegar fac- and other manufacturing interests lo cated in the vicinity of the freight depot. . The Applo Fair Association asked for permission to rent their temporary building for the balance of the winter Marshal Lewis stated thut ho had or dered the building torn down, which hud been partly done, and the request whs refused. The tax levy for the ensuing year was fixed at five and a half mills for general purposes, two mill for road purposes and one and a half mills for interest on bonded indebtedness. The recorder was instructed to notify the Farmers Irrigating Co. to put their irrigation pipes in tho city under ground, as they agreed to do before the beginning of lust season. CONNECT NORTH ItAMK WITH HOOD RIVER ProiiiottirH of an rlcctrit; rowl. towui noct Hood Kiver with the North Bunk road, were locking over the sitinitinii this week. The ptoposition, numbly outlined, is to run a truck fmnt Hinen to the Columbia river, crowing the river bv ferry at the Kolrg Rock, ai d then follow the county road into Hood Kiver, connecting vith the Hood Kiver electric road, which is a "sure go" in the ("priii. . The object of this scheme, it is claim ed, is to relieve Hood Kiver from being at the mercv of only one railroad. Cars from the North Bunk could then be run rittht into Hood River Valley, and the apples could m shipped by competing lines, which will be the only Bolution to overcome a car shortage like there was thiR season, anil besides that, a ship ment of fruit to some portions of the east would reach it 'destination from 12 to 21 hours earlier. The scheme is a feasble one. The Columbia River at the Koberg Rock is only 2200 feet wile, with good deep water on both sides of the river, and a fteam ferry could transfer a traiu of 30 curs in leB than an hour. The ferry now used for transferring crs from the North IWnk to the Oregou bank at tho mouth of the Deschutes, will probably b used lor the purpose here after the bridge at Celilo is completed.
