Second Annual Fair Will Be Held at the viuwn i uim, ii.i men Mir in r. i,,u ;i-u i The jubilations of Hood River county and Mosier people Monday can only be described by likening them to I child that is celebrating Christmas morning with all the dreams of previous weeks realized. But the joyous populace of Monday was able to go the happy child one better and pour out their thanks unstintedly to their Santa t'laus, Simon Benson, chairman of the State Highway Commission, who as Representative N. J. Sinnott, as one of the speakers of the celebration, staged to commemorate completion of paving of the Columbia River Highway from l'ortland to Hood River and the cutting a new grade troin here to Mo sier, declared, received such an ovation as has never been granted to a private or pubile citizen of Oregon before. No larger audience ever attended a Hood River county celebration, opened with a basket picnic on Chautauqua park, an oak embowered plot within the city limits. Polities and factional isms were forgotten in the democratic gathering, where residents of all sec tions spread their cloths and covered them with bounteous feasts. Members of a Canteen committee passed from group to group with pitchers of steam ing coffee. Boy Scouts followed with jugs of cream and heaping bowls of sugar. The breezes carried the fra grant steam of OOffOO afar from a full lolling kitchen brought up from Van couver Barracks by Edward W. Van Horn, commander of the local Post of the American Legion. The outfit was loaned through the courtesy of Col. Poore, of the First Infantry Regiment. Such a feast of eloquence as has never been surpassed before in Oregon followed immediately after the lunch eon at the open air theatre, set in a natural amphitheatre and with giant maples' for a canopy. The picnic grounds were crowded with an estimat ed 2.5(H), and despite the fact that aisles were crowded and hoardings were pried loose, more than a thousand crowded the outside of the auditorium were unable to get accomodations. While Mr. Henson was designated guest of honor, having won the lasting gratitude of Hood River citizens for donating private funds in constructing a trial mile of roaii around Shell Rock mountain and again paying $11,000 for Uying a mile of pavinit between Cas cade Locks and the Multnomah line, the meeting was staged in honor of Mime score nl other prominent Oregon and Northwestern good roads advocates who associated themselves with Mr. Henson in hastening the completion of the great scenic highway, and ovations and felicitations were general. An invocation was pronounced by Bishop Robert L. Paddock, of the east ern Oregon diocese ot the iunscopt al hurch, Rev. W. II. Boddy represented Hood River county in an expression of what he termed B general and sponlan eons feeling of gratitude and chacter- ized as more enduring than shafts of marble Or bronze. As Mr. Henson arose to respond live little girls pre sented him with baskets of flowers. Mr. Henson complimented Hood River people in their pioneer work of voting first state highway bond is-"ue of $75,00(1 in 1914, declaring that the amount, while not large, provided an impetus badly needed at a crucial time in the history of the Highway project. He asserted that no one will know how long the completion of the Columbia River Highway to Bond River might have been delayed had not this bond issue not carried. And then Mr. Hen son turned the celebration into an ai peal for future highway development. He said : "Our state highway program is far from complete. We must complete our highways to Idaho on the Hast, from The Dalles to the California line ard the Pacific Highway from the northern to the southern boundaries of the state. We must provide for better access to Crater Lake, Mount Hood and other scenic attractions. We mupt protect trees and scenic beauties along these highways and secure and provide more parking places and other public con veniences. Our governor has made ap pronriate recommendations and 1 hope our legislature will adopt laws that carry out his suggestions.!' Mr. Sinnott. who has won national note for his touch of the poet in con gressional addresses outdid himself Monday. He declared that the value of Northwestern mountain scenery was brought to him last winter when he heard Frank Kranch Riley deliver a glowing description to an immense Washington audience. Samuel Hill, Washington good roads enthusiast, but who nevertheless was a large contributing factor in steering local public sentiment in earlv days linked with that of Mr. Benson the following names of Oregon citi zens: Julius Meier, Samuel C. Lan caster, Rufus C. Holman. Oswald West. Ben W. Olcott. Kdgar B. Piper. C. S. Jackson, the late John Carroll, J. B. Yeon, Amos Benson. Mr. Hill created no small sensation when he had Mr. Boddy, as chairman of the meeting. read a letter received by the good roads advocate a year ago from Governor Hart, of Washington, who was then acting governor. The message was one of congratulation on the permanent construction of Washington highways. which he declared has been emphasized after a ride over the Columbia River Highway, the construction of which he intimated was flimsy. "We have a man like that trying to 14 governor again, " "cried Mr. Hill, ' hut I want jim people to know Uiat I we don t need htm. Judge Fred W. Wilson expressed the joy of Moaier on being freed from iso lation by the Highway and also ex pressed the gratification of The Dalles and other points further to the East, who in their ant iriiation vision, he said, a touch of the heavenly joy as was evi- fenced here. Judge Wilson asked that the pioneers who blazed the ox-wavs and made possible the work of Mr. Henson and Ms associate be not for- rtten, and regretted the inability of I Smith, pioneer and grand old man of Hond River, who lies ill, to be preOent. He also paid a glowing trib ute to John 11. Cradlebaugh. pioneer i editor of Hood River. wto declared that he would like to go to Heaven, a min- Frank Terrace, good roads farmer of King county, Washington, who is de clared to have made innumerable rural votes favorable to the $ 75,000 bond is sue, appealed to the younger genera tions to take up the work of good roads. Kdgar H. Piper characterized Hood River as the garden of Kden. and the women hero the lineal descendants of Eve. Afler beholding feminine beauty and viewing a vista of scenic Rood River he was made to think of the lines: "Where every prospect please and only man is vile." He declared that unstinted praise should go to R. A. Booth and E. K. Kiddle, associates of Mr. Benson on the State Highway Commission, the service of which is second to none from any other Oregon state organization. Mr. Piper c'ted intimation for sub stituting a paid highway commission for a non-paid organization, such as is now in thirge of Oregon road affaiis. He deprecated any such intimation and declared that such a move, placing the construction of Oregon highways into politics, would be fatal to the road pro gram.. Anthony H. Euwer read an original poem, "The Highway Builder," that in its sincerity and humor won for the young aritst an ovation for himself. Senator (.hamberlain pointed ma that Oregon citizens by their initiative in constructing highways had learned how not to be dependent on railways or waterways. Dr. L. I. Howe, of the department of roads of the U. S. forestry department, told of the aspirations of the forestry serviceo hasten the Mount Hood loop eonsruction. Mayor George L. Haker. of Portland, expressed the gratitude of Multnomah county to Mr. Benson and the program closed with a sin 'ere ap peal by Rev. Hilly Sunday for Ameri cans to settle down to productive endeavor and fur a closer cooperation of capitalist anil labor toward bringing back American life to the normal of prewar days. J. H. Albert,- of Salem, who with Leslie Hutler formed the first Oregon highway advisory board, from which grew the highway commission as it exists today, was here representing Governor OieoM and the executive de partment of the state. A number of speakers paid tribute'to Mr. Albert and Mr. Hutler for the work they had done in launching thy Oregon good roads movement. Guests of the day here, exclusive of the citizens whose names were linked with that of Mr. Ben ion hy Mr. Hill, were: Meisrs. Pureed and Non-ross, of the Forestry Service, and John F. Logan, who occupied stage seuts Judge Blowers and Commissioners Blackmail and H uintim sat on the stage. A delegation of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce commissioners consisted of Messrs. Baldwin, Roriek. Pease. Merry and Kelley. In Introducing Ban tor Chamberlain. Chairman Boddy declared ho had done the work assigned him through circum stance and world war better than any other Do mat rot could have done it. The greeting that Senator Chamberlain received indicated that electors hold him in high regard, something removed from any political feeling. Casca le Locks and Mnsier were here with strong representations Monday The former carried banners on all cars, declaring, ' Benson Put Cascade Locks on the Map." Mosier brought a huge banner stating, "Mosier, too, Honors Simon Benson. The little girli carrying the bouquets to Mr. Benson were: Dorris Davon wrt, Barbara Hilts, Margaret Smith son, -Anne Keller and Sylvia Stewart. J. II. Frediicy, general chairman of the celebration organization opened the session Monday with a few ann itince ments and by introducing Mr. Boddy. High School Grounds Septem ber 17 and 18 MAYER PRAISES BEN SON DAY CHAIRMAN Mark A. Mayer, of Mosier. member of the committee there that created so great enthusiasm that the jesidents of the neighboring apple district came here almost 100 er cent, had praise while here Tuesday for the chairman of the day, Rev. W. H. Boddy. "Mr. Boddy was the outstanding speaker of the day," declared Mr. Mayer. "In him jou have a man of whom you ought to be proud. All in all it was an event that I believe has never been surpassed for eloquence and wit. I have been present at such oc casions in many parts of the country, and I have never participated in a finer meeting than that honoring Mr. Hen son Monday." K. OF P. BAND EN LIVENS BENSON DAY The Knights of Pythias band, not much over a year old, deserves a head line and paragraph all its own for its contribution to the success of Benson Day. The hard members plajed dur ing the picnic luncl e n iind just before the exercises of the day began. Their music was highlv appreciated. Many compliments on the music of the Knights of Pythias band were heard from the guests of the day. The men who have worked so hard to make the organization one of merit ought to lie proud.
