fTOOl) RIVER GLACIER, TH FRIDAY, AUGUST , 1021 2 9 A Vacation Lesson We are just back from a vacation down at coast resorts. It was the first vacation our family had participated in for many years. We have returned to work with an added vim. A vacation is a good business investment. It clears the busi ness man of the inertia layed on him by the grind of one day's detail right after another. And a man ought to get out of his own community to take his vacation. Thus he is given a chance to profit by studying his business methods in other localities. And we got some lessons down on the coast. We learned that those communities down there are pulling with district wide cooperation to cash in on the asset of their Pacific Ocean and the breezes that blow across it. And yet every last one of the residents down there, when he thinks of a vacation for himself, turns his eyes toward Mount Hood. It is up to us to pull together as a community here and make our snow peak as accessible as they have made the Pacific Ocean. Our end of the Columbia River Highway is far more attractive than the lower end. We'll end by reminding you that the impelling motive of our daily routine, despite our little digression off into the land of Oregon out of doors, is selling GROGERfES. We carry the best and at bargain prices always. on Consolidated Mercantile Co. HOOD RIVER ODELL MR. APPLE GROWER If you are thinking of buying a GRADER, let us put before you the following facts: 1.

CENTRAL OREGONIANS IN NORTHWEST Records Aid photographs in the pos session of the Western Washington Horticultural Association in regard to the early days of the apple industry for the Pacific Northwest develop some in teresting facts. The first known bear ing tree is still producing fruit, and is being cared for by the association. It seems that in 1824 Dr. John Mclaugh lin, governor for the Hudson Hay Com pany West of the Rocky Mountains, located the headquarters of his com pany on the terrace sloping up from the north bank of the Columbia river where now the city of Vancouver, and Vancouver Barracks In connection with this found the first record of of the apple into the TOUR THROUGH HERE Washington, are situated, settement is the coming Northwest thjn called the Oregon country. The first account of this historic tree, which was then about ten years old, was written by Mis. Marcus Whit man. She was staying at the home of Dr. Mcl.oughiin at Fort Vancouver while her husband, the pioneer mis sionary, Dr. Marcus Whitman, was in Walla Walla county looking for a loca tion. An extract from her diary under uaie or Mepitmuer I, !., reads as follows : "1 must mention the origin of these apides. A gentleman, twelve years ago, while at a party in London put the Beeds of the apppes which he ate in his vest pocket. Soon afterwards he took a voyage to this country and left them here. Now they are greatly multiplied." Another story of this old tree, not inconsistent with the quotation from Mrs. Whitman's diary, is as follows: "At a dinner party in London about 1886, given in honor of some young gentlemen in the employ of the Hud son Ray Company who were about to embark for Fort Vancouver, seeds from the aoples eaten were playfully slipned by some of the young ladies into the waist-coat pockets of the young men and upon their arrival at their destination, the young men, in over hauling their wardrobes, discovered the seeds and gave them to Jim Harnes, the gardener at the fort. The seeds produced, among others, the now famous apple tree at the Vancou ver Harracks The story is also told that after sev eral years of waiting one of the trees bore an apple, which when ripe, was picked by Dr. McLoughlin and care fully cut into seventeen slices. One nreeiouH slice of the luscious fruit was served to each person at the Coventor's table. The next year the tree bore twenty apples, and the old tree is still bearing fruit. MODERN BRIDGE OF GODS SPAN PLANNED The "Bridge of the Goda" the famous legendary natural bridge scroti the Col am bis near the Cascades, in to be res tored with modem steel and concrete, it is planned by a corporation beaded by Vancouver, Wash, business men.

The central Oregon ians traveled through the McKenzie I'ass over into the Willamette valley and thence up to Portland. They spent a week at Relknap Springs. A truck, loaded down with camp equipment and a supply of food accompanied the iT.otor cavalcade. Those in the party included : Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Shattuck, Miss es Pearl, Velma. and Veva Shattuck, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. P. Reames, Kssie Reames, Donald Reames and Marjorie Wilson, of Rrineville, and Mr. and Mrs. Itert Wilson, of Madras. "I wouldn't advise anyone to try McKenzie I'ass, if they are traveling with the loads we had," said Mr. Shat tuck. "We had considerable trouble.' Large herds of sheep had just heen moved over the I'ass before we went through, and the road was covered with rocks, rough and round and of an asserted size. When onr knobby-tread rear tires struck such surfacing, the noise sounded like the explosions of a gattling gun. The government is do ing much work on the Pass, however, and it should be much better next year. ' ' The Prineville folk while here called on Ed Abbott, who formerly resided in the central Oregon city.
