o POTATO ASSOCIATION GETS ENDORSEMENT Gordon G. Brown and Leroy Childs are urging potato growers of the Up per Valley to affiliate with the Pacific Northwest Potato Growers Associa tion. Mr. Rrown says that growers of this section have lost money annually in not being organized. He cites that they have no standardization of grades and plant their acreage without regard to standardizing varieties. "The Upper Valley," says Mr. Rrown, "is ideally located for seed production. Soil and fclimatic condi tions fit the district for producing a seed tuber second to none. The ranch ers there need to subscribe to an or ganization, such as the potato grower's association, in order to learn methods of farming their tracts in such wise as to secure disease-free certification. After they have secured such certifica tion 1 1. : .. . : - v.vmi, mc a dem )i laLlUti IS 060000. M a medium for the profitable distribution of the seed crop. " Aims of the Association are cited as follows in a letter to Mr. Childs from M. G. Coe, vice president, of Bend : "The Pacific Northwest Potato Growers Association, comprising the states of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, is an organization of valuj to every grower within the four states. It is endeavoring to standardize grades and shipping rules. It seems probable that federal inspection will be estab lished at shi UnintT Dointfi with rpirionnl headquarters of the Bureau of Markets in the northweEt. The organization has undertaken to do away with the confusion arising from duplication of varieties. It has undertaken to hold shows and conferences ana other activ ities to promote the welfare of the potato industry." nOOD niTER GLACIER, TlirilSDAY. FKMiDARY 23, 1023 THAW PUTS ROADS IN BAD SHAPE The thawing of valley dirt roads and a heavy precipitation of soft snow and rain has resulted in numerous com plaints from residents of various sec tions. Judge Hasbrouck, who states that the paved Columbia River High way and short links of concrete surfac is laid at Odell and Van Horn under the Market Road Act has caused cit izens to realize by comparison the value of good roads, announces that the county court at the March meeting wm prouaoiy take steps toward mat ing strict limitations on the loads of motor trucks using the soft lateral roads. The court last fall, before rains be gan, placed a limit on loads of apples. It was then announced that motor trucks would be ruled oft stretches of dirt roads, in case weather conditions rendered them unfit for heavy traffic. LITTLE RED STRING MAILED BY PAPER Tuesday the O.-W. R. & N. freight office, with M. P. Mendenhall, A. C. Morrow, P. S. DeWitt, E. A. Kincaid and C. U. Dakin, members of the force, ill with flu, was held down by N. W. Mays. Agent Fredricy is also sick. Toby Morioka, veteran janitor, who has been with the company for 14 years, is chief factotum. Pies Made of Canned Apples Local restaurants are now utilizing apples packed by the Hood River Can ning Co. for pie making in preference to the fresh fruit. The pies so made, it is declared, are preferred by patrons. "We find that it is cheaper, inas much as we are saved the paring of the apples," says Geo. H. McMullin. of the Pheasant, "than buying the fresh apples. Then, too, the canned apples are packed from fresh firm siock, wnue tne storage apples are more or less ripe and do not have the fresh flavor that characterizes the can ned product. Iowa Likes Spitzenburgs John C. Duckwall has just received irom an lowa firm of commission mer cnanis a 'etter complimenting him on a carload of Spitzenburgs purchased last ran. "We have just finished this carload of Spitzenburgs," says the letter, "and we want to tell you that we con sider it one of the best carloads of ap ples we have ever handled. We will be in the market for more Hood River apples next year." SAMSON TRACTOR COMPLETE with fenders, governor, power take off pulley $735 00 HEIGHTS GARAGE J. F. VOLSTORFF Little bills are easily forgotten. While in the aggregate money owing for subscriptions soon reaches no mean sum, from the vfew of the rural editor and publisher, the individual debt is comparatively small and the subscriber often forgets it and allows it to lapse indefinitely. A local merchant, whose home was formerly in New York state, and who although he has resided here for two decades, still reads each week with keen interest his old home town oaoer. received the other day a unique method of refreshing the memory of subscrib ers. Attached with a little red sticker was a red string. The letter was as follows : "Do you remember how, when you were young and your good folks sent you down town after something, they were likely to tie a string about your thumb to make certain vou would not forget? "Those were happy days, were they not? "But there's no reason why the days of now should not be as happy as it is just as certain that some of us are liable to forgei the little things of today. "Because of that we are sending you this little reminder - not to forget to pay the account due. "We hope you enjoy tbe smile in our letter and that we may have the pleas ure of hearing from you promptly."

Although plans for the organization of a golf club here have been tem porarily dropped, m. im bora of a commit tee working on the proposed club fay they eventually hope to formulate ways and means of financing it. In explaining their action to citizens who had signed the roster the committee, composed of A. W. Peters, Truman Butler, E. O. Blanclmr. C. N. Ravlin and E. R. Pooley. have written as fellows: .. i i i. .. ... , ... mucn iib ueeii wruien aoout the tourist snd scenic possibilities of the Hood River valley. We have talked of the day when Hood Liver would be the Pacadena of the Pacific Northwest. As to our natural resources and unde veloped assets along this line, there can be no question. Kvery well in formed tourist and lover of nature who has visited the valley has unstinted praise and expresses the opinion that Hood River is destn.ed gome day to be a mecca for the finest class of tourists in America. "The establishing of a golf club is just one step in the right direction. The strides which this great out door sport has taken in the United States in the past 10 years is beyond the belief of anyone who has not taken the trouble to inform himself. Certain it is that if any one of our hopes along these lines is to be realized, a golf course will have to come very early in our program. The tourists who visit California leave in the city of Los An geles a million dollars a day. Just a hundredth part of this amount would exceed the entire returns to Hood River valley for applet, pears and strawberries for the year 1921. "This is not the problem for a hand- rui oi gou eninusiasw. it is tne sen ous business of the entire community Nor is it important what shall be the outcome of this first movement to or ganize a goir club here. 1 he import ant thing is, what shall be the attitude and policy of this entire community with reterence to tne same and orderly development ot our possibilites. Sha our light be kept under a bushel, or will we let the world know that here in little Hood River valley nature has be stowed on us a wealth of grandeur and beauty that is not excelled in all this earth. While we are at it let's go to the bottom oi the matter and when it has been determined what is best for us and for the entire community, and not any small part of it. let's join forces and go after it."

Other Side of Case Presented Hood River, Or., Feb. 10, 1922 fcilitor Glacier: I wish to call to your attention an article in your paper oi reoruary a under the title of 'Water Case Creates Interest." The article in question.Jthrough a partial ,-tatement ot facts, gives an impres sion entirely foreign to the truth. The spring you mention is but one of four ocated in that immediate neighbor hood, the combined flow of which forms Yew Wood creek. We are seek ing to enjoin the defendant from using me waters or Tew Wood creek for irri gation upon his property. Do you mean to give the impression mat tne waters or lew Wood creek, which we have been using continuously for irrigation ana domestic use since 1894, were developed by Mr. Gehrig through his digging a channel years before he obtained bis first glimpse of me unueu stales: I also wish to call your attention to the fact that Philip Kollaa, whom you mention as plaintiff, was my father, whcAliedJin 1912. The only Philip Hol las living now, that I know of, ii mv son, not quite five years old. Neither of them to my knowledge were plain tiffs in this case. The person evident ly meant was Albert Hollas. Alphonse Hollas. Golf Club Plan) Dormant The proposed Hood River golf club has been temporarily abandoned, and members of a committee, who until I last week were going forward with C. G. C. Makes Suggestions The Oak Grove Corner Grocery Store club has decided to place a battery of electric fans at Wind Mountain to furnish the State Highway Commission a chinook whenever desired, not only to clear the Columbia River Highway but keep it open. During the months of June, July and August sufficient hot air from the North bank Highway can be stored under Wind Mountain to op erate the fans all winter. The service will be charged for at a small percentage above cost, that a fund may be provided to pay for bond certificates that the Hood River trucks and busses may be able to operate out side the corporation limits. Biskof, the Chicago finance wizzard, has our stocks and bonds listed. We expect to pay a liberal bonus for any suggestions for the lmnrovements on our ijlans and operation, if adopted. C. G. L., Sec'y. Swick Says Weather Is Ideal William Swick, West Side orchard iats, who owns a large pear acreage, pays that weather conditions, although somewhat unpleasant for the popula tion, have been ideal for fruit the past winter. "No apple grower," says Mr. Swick, "ought to complain about the weather. Our valley depends on the fruit indus try, this continued fall of snow has been an excellent thing for the apple and pear crop. 1 have never seen trees looking any better. Indeed, we will be better off if the comparatively cold wtather and continued snow prevail for a while." Growers generally, while they are delayed in their pruning and other or chard work, express the opinion that the winter season will be beneficial to orchards. High School Five Seeks Games Following a fairly successful close of the schedule with mul l olumbia teams the Hood River high school basketball team, according to Coarh Fleischirian is seeking games with I'ortland and other outside teams. With the dates rebruary M and CO and March 8 and 4 open, Mr. rleischman says his team is ready to meet any team that is a mem ber ot the Oregon Interscholastic As sociation. We feel mbilant over our defeat of Ihe Dalles Saturdav night." savs Mr rleischman. "The rival school Friduv night, on their floor, defeated us by a one point margin. On our floor here we won the second of the two-game series by If) to 12. II. .o,l Kiver took the lead and maintained it throughout the game.
