The Keynote of this story was Delay. The chief character, in all other thintrs prompt and efficient but who in the matter of answering a friend's letter, kept postponing it in the hopes of having "some bigger piece of news to impart," struck me as being like the average present day motor car owner who puts off the little things that should be done until fi nally it means something bigger at more cost, to say noth ing of the inconvenience and delay.

Tel. 3173 Fairbanks Morse Engines and Hayes Sprayers CLUB MEMBERS HEAR TALKS CHILDS URGES PEARS AND CHERRIES tl GEORGE WASHINGTON Bennett Suggests Greater Payroll Inter esting Data on Creamery is Given by Peters The meeting of the Commercial club Monday night, discussions devoted to the 'relationship of the organization to the horticultural and industrial inter ests of the valley, developed some in teresting information and suggestions. Leroy Childs, who has made one of the more exhaustive studies of the country as a whole than any other man of the valley, declared that in his opin ion the future opportunity of the north west apple industry would be found In a wider cooperative advertising of the product. He declared that Hood Kiver would best serve herself by the plant ing of winter pears of some standard varieties and sweet cherries. Fire blight, he declared, has limited the commercial production of pears to the Pacific coast states. He cited that California had a monopoly on gi owing Hartlett e;;rs, but, according to the Experiment Station man, the Hood Kiver valley and Oregon have a vast opportunity to supply world markets, without fear of any great competition. with winter peHrs. On a trip east last year Mr. Childs said he learned from a talk with representatives of the United States Hureau of markets that sweet cherries, such as Bings, Lamberts and Royal Annes, none of which can be successfully grown in the east, such as are grown in the Columbia River terri tory are the best now marketed. "And the people of the east, " said Mr. Childs, "are crazy for them at high prices." Mr. Childs declared that the Com mercial club could best serve Hoed Kiver horticultural interest by foster ing beneficial legislation. He declared that the club or some similar organiza tion should have been active recently in preventing the resignation of M. I). Armstrong, county fruit inspector, who was unable to remain here because his salary was cut $700 per year and who left to join Washington's agricultural experts. The club adopted a motion of Leslie Hutler suggesting that the Apple Growers Association appoint a perma nent committee to keep in touch with horticultural affairs and prevent such future losses as occurred in Mr. Arm strong s resignation. Mr. Childs, in the course of his talk, stated that Horn! Kiver apple growers were now paving, the annual returns 01 me in dustry placed at $H.0O0,000, but t wo- tenths of one per cent in protecting their orchards. Other men who dis cussed this feature of valley businesses were C. A. Reed, J. H. Koberg and Or. Guttery. L. A. Bennett urged the club to get behind every industrial enterprise that mav originate here, lie declared that the city needed an all year payr and that this would be best established by aiding local enterprising men. Even though a concern employs but single man," said Mr. Bennett, "it needs our support and should have it." A. W. I eters, member of the direc torate of the Hood River Creamery organized in l'H-i and former ly turn ing out K.000 pounds OI nutter ner month, stated that the institution is now manufacturing 20,000 pounds per month. He stated that the lime had been reached when the creamery had to have larger quarters and suggested that the ciub's industrial committee might aid with financing the proposed new structure. He declared that the i reamery had been made possible by the cooperative effort of a few enthusi astic orchardists, who had added cows as a sideline, and by the loyalty of lo cal business concerns. Mr. 1'eters stated that the creamery at present is drawing a greater supply of cream from dairying sections of southern Washington than from the Hood River valley. Idaho shipments had to be dis continued because the local institution was unable to handle it. The proposed new building will cost from $7,MH) to SH.OOO. The creamery has already pur chased ani paid for a suitable location. C. A. Bell, following Mr. i'eters, said : 'I remember one time when I was in somewhat the same fix. 1 had a lot, needed a building but didn't have the money. 1 went to Truman Butler, and told him my story. He told me to get busy with my plans. My building called for about $00,000." Mr. Hutler stated that he and S. J. Moore, who sat beside him, would be ready at any time to furnish the aid of their banking institutions to all worthy undertakings. One of the interesting speeches of the evening was that of H. H. I.arkin, formerly engaged in the canning busi ness here, who is now superintendent of the Pride ( anning plant at Belling ham. Wash. He stated that tl.e recent convention of northwestern canners in Portland had undertaken as part of its work the task of bringing about a standardization of canned products in On g"n and Washington. Mr. I.arkin stated that the opening of sample cans at the convention, samples not only from the northwest but all over the country, had demonstrated that the product of Oregon and Washington was of belter quality than from any other section of the country. "it was pointed out to us that we could control the canned apple market; of the country, both east and west, if we would but standardize our prod uct," said Mr. I.arkin. O. C. Hughes, discussing the possi- bility of attracting industrial enter- I prises, stated thai in many instances j manufacturing plant were established j in cities far removed from their raw material. He cited Camas, Wah.. 'with its huge paper mill, the raw ma ) terial of which is assembled, he said, , from many distant places. He stated that Washougal, although the number I of sheep in an immediate radius would, probably not reach 5iU, had a thriving i woolen mill. Kev. Gabriel Sykes, in discussing the leaving of Mr. Armstrong, brought out the point that local folk often lost a perspective of the merits of those who worked in their midst. Too often, he declared, they withhold their own 'promotion until too late, until after srjn..ne frim the outside ha- seen the value of the worker's efforts and has taken him away for a higher salary. John Koterg urged that Commercial club members, farmers and labor ele- each iin the our He said ments get together and attend other's meetings. He said : "Not long ago I was approached on the street by a party of farmers, who asked me to join the Grange. I de clined them, urging that th Commercial club and com meetings here with their t stead of holding aloof an their problems to themselves H. S. Braakman pointed need for more st ire rooms. that he was ready to occupy at a good rental a building 100 feet square, if such a place would be made available for him on Cascade avenue. He offer ed to employ 10 men. Mr. Braakman also urged that the streets be kept cleaner. Harry Gross started a speech with a little facetiousness, declaring that lo- i . .i ... cai grocers were wining lo aid wiln a certain industry by the importation of raisins, prunes, meal, et cetera, but that the Commercial club recently had passed a law against moonshine opera tions. Mr. Gross then offered the practical suggestion that all local mer chants ought to aid the proposed creamery, just as they have the Hood River Vinegar Co. by the purchase of stock. President Olmsted presided at the meeting. JUDGE GLANVILLE HONORS WASHINGTON with which He declared Kv Judge R. C. Glanville, chairman of the Tuesdav Lunch club meeting, paid a tribute to Washington, whose charac ter, he declared, was one of the most remarkable of American history. Judge Glanville who cited that most members when it came their turn to act as chairman of the lunch club meetings discussed topics they were most absorbed, that lie was prone to tat his subject. He told his hears recent anxiety over the coni his eyes. "1 faced the necessity of i. surgical operation," he said. certainty ol going stone blind. If you think such a frame of mind is a happy one, just expei ience it." Judge Glanville urge the lunch club to devote its energies toward activities that would engender closer friendship among members. The meeting Tuesday was at the Pheasant. Members next week will go to the Columbia Gorge hotel. as f his m of the BLOWERS CANDIDATE EOR LEGISLATURE Judge Hlowers Saturday, following appeals from various elements of city and valley, consented to enter the race for representative in the legislature from this county. To date Judge Blowers is the only contestant who ha officially declared himself a candidate for the renresentati veship, and be cause 01 his popularity with city and rural elements alike, it is not likely that he will meet with opposition, ac cording to those who have observed po litics here. Only two county officers are to be elected here this year, county commis sioner and county asse-sor. No an nouncements have Ik en made for either position. Respective incum bents, both Republicans, are F. II. B ickfnan and Jasper Wickham. The formal announcement of Senator ('has. Hall, of Marshfield, for the gov ernorship, has created considerable speculation here. Although Senator Hall formerly resided here, sentiment expressed by various elements last week indicated that he will receive a strong opposition in the Apple Valley. Expression Of local electors mints to a strong local sentiment favorable to Governor Olcott SANITARY MARKET TO GREET PATRONS Tuesday, February 28 marks the second anniversary of the Sanitarv Market and Grocery. Last year the patrons and friends were the guests of the owners at their store Coffee and ght refreshments were sei ved during the day and a repetition of the same has been planned for next Tuesday. The shof) is being enlarged and a new and late model meat case will be in stalled, miking the market to contain the best and latest of equipment. A refrigerating plant was installed last year in the store. A pleasant day has been anticipated for everyone. A huge birthday cake has been promised the owners by one of the Portland baker ies, to arrive here Monday in time for the anniversary. LARSON LICENSE CASE DISMISSED TUESDAY At the hearing by the county court Tuesday of a petition asking the revo cation of the license -of Frank Larson. who operates a ferry tu tween here and Underwood, it developed that trans- p .nation ol liquor will nol result in a forfeiture of such franchise. The couit disrni-sed the charge against Larson, who in January paid a fine and was given a jail sentence, which was later suspended, for complicity in illicit liquor operations. It was further ruled that Larson was immune from further punishment, un der the Oregon prohihtmn law, because of a lonfe-sion to District Attorney Baker while under attest. The matter has been referred to State Prohibition Officer Linville.

The Wasco county delegations mo tored down over the Highway. The Ad club party arrived at 12.30 by special train. They were met by a cortege of automobiles of local citizens and whisked away to the hotel. A trans portation committee was composed of E. K. Brett, Karl Fanz and Earl Web er. These men worked in conjunction with Leslie Butler on plans of enter tainment. At the luncheon P. A. Olmsted, on behalf of the Commercial club, deliv ered an address of welcome.

COUNTY'S END (IF HIGHWAY OPEN Before noon Monday crews of men under Senator Nickelsen completed cutting through the last drift of ice and snow on the Highway near Camp Benson, and the road in Hood River county is now opened from Multnomah to Wasco county and thence on east. Mot irists may proceed from the eHst to Cascade Micks, where they may be ferried across the Columbia to Steven son, to proceed on their journey over the North Bank Highway. Mr. Nickelsen had experted to have the Highway open Saturday night, but two days of heavy snow last week in erruptcd his plans. The drifts from the last week's snows, Mr. Nickelsen says, reached a depth of four feet in the newly opened deep cut on the Highway. These, however. were formed of soft snow and are not troub ling motorists. They have, indeed, al most disappeared. "We found that the action of the snow and ice between here and the Multnomah county line has caused con siderable damage to the pavement," declares Mr. Nickelsen, who ac companied Distiict Engineer J. H. Scott on a tour of inspection Monday. "The pavement has been badly cracked in spots. Fences have been smashed and walls pu-hed down. The cost of repairs wib be considerable. I would not attempt now to estimate it. Mr. Nickelsen says that slides on the Highway between Cascade Locks and the Multnomah county line, which was leareil of snow soon after the Novem ber sleet storm, will have to be cleared off before traffic passes over the route. This can be accomplished within a few days, however. Because of the narrow cut through ice and -now niockaue.s, Mr. rvieKeisen -ays that trallic over the Highway for the present will be limited to passen ger vehicles. He states that heavy trucks will break shoulders of the pavement, where the single track runs along the outside of the surfacing. COUNCIL RESTORES OLD CURFEW LAW The city council Monday night voted to restore an antedated ordinance, pro viding for the application of the cur few. All youngsters under 16 years of age will be required to be at home by '. p. m. City Health Officer Edgington ap pealed to the counc:l to adopt an ordi nanie that will require landlords to make sanitary premises held for rent. Dr. Edgington reported that unsanitary conditions prevailed at some of the shacks in a cannery colony. The council adopted an ordinance that will eliminate from Deration the fly by night motor bus and motor truck man. PORTER SELLS OFF PART OF ORCHARD J. C.
