"We plan." savs Kent Shoemaker. chairman of the committee in charge or the Legion climb, "on leaving Hood Kiver early Saturday morning for the camp. Everybody will be expected to take lunch at the camp on Saturday noon, and we will have a portion of our program in the afternoon. We expect to have early dinner and an evening program. The camp will be patrolled by a military guard, and no body will be allowed to come in after eight o clock, we propose to make it possible for the climbers to get to bed early and get a good night s deep.

The event, however, as a re suit of the unusually heavy accumula tion of snow in the high forested area, may have to be postponed. , while to determine the reasonability of the advance. The increase in the rates would have resulted from the cancellation of through rates now in effect, which in most cases are lower than a combina tion or local or joint rates.

DR. MACRUM ADVISES TERMINAL STORAGE HOSIER MAN LIVES t ! AFTER 300-FOOT FALL Those who have viewed the wreck of an automobile driven over a bluff of the Highway between here and Mosier Wednesday night of last week by Wheeler Clark, member of the office force at the Mosier O.-W. It. & N. station, declare it a miracle that the young man came out of the wreck live. At the point where the car left the road, the bluff drops for 300 feet almost sheer. Young Clark's injuries are limited to -a few uncomfortable body bruises and a bad bump on hit head. ine young man, who says his ma chine was catapulted into the abvss when a front wheel struck a fallen boulder, disengaged himself from the car after it had turned over two or three times. He continued, however, to roll down the cliffside, until stopped by a growth of bushes on a jutting ledge. Here he was knocked uncon scious when a large stone struck him on the bead. Near the same point year before last another Moiser young man, C. Bailey, Bailey, plunged over the cliff and es caped serious injury. When Mr. C-lark recovered conscious ness he was lying on an automobile robe from his car. The robe was un der him as though it had been spread out purposely lor him. The development of adequate cold storage terminals on Portland docks. according to Ur. U. A. Aiacrum, pres- dent of the Mosier fruitgrowers As sociation, will ultimately result in the marketing of a heavy tonnage of mid- Ulumbia cherries and other small fruits in European markets, s "If we can just get these cold stor age laeinties, says ur. Macrum, "we can ship our cherries, peaches, apri cots, prunes and frozen fresh berries directly by boat to the big European markets. Our pears have been mar keted in a limited way in England, but a development of the water service will enable us to do a great deal more in this form of marketing. Our Ore gon cherries, which, according to United Mates horticultural experts, are the best of their kind produced anywhere, would create a sensation abroad. Development of cold storage facilities and making the most of water shipments would result in a wide distribution of our fruit products at handsome returns, J believe. In my opinion the opporunities in frozen fresh berries, shipment of which has been developed by Robert Ireland, of Portland, are unlimited. Mr. Ireland through experiments found that frozen berries, packed in live gallon cans, can be dispatched to any part of the nation. They can also be shipped to Europe direct by water." Ur. Macrum says the construction of large terminal storage plants in Port land will work an economy for grow ers of small districts tributary to the port. He cites that it will eliminate a number of inefficient small plants by providing one well managed. It will aid the growers of the Bmaller district. who, he Bays, can better afford to pay storage costs than to proceed with the heavy expense of building a cold stor age plant of their own. TRUNK ROAD WORK WELL UNDER WAY LEGION WILL HONOR GRANT HIGH SCHOOLS TO HEAR SPEAKERS Noted General's 100th Birthday Today Nationwide Celebration to be Held Veterans Recall Grant . APPLE GROWING COSTS LESS THIS SEASON The cost of producing a box .of ap ples will show a material decrease the coming season over last year when the drop from the year before, character ized by war-time inflation was very heavy. Last year boxes cost around 15 cents apiece, this season growers are buying boxes for 13 cents. The cost of paper, used in wrapping fruit. shows a decline of a cent a pound in price this year over last. Slight de creases are shown in the prices of spray materials and fertilizers. The abor cost this year will be less. While an average of nearly 40 cents an hour was maintained last year, grow ers are able to secure labor this year for 30 cents an hour. Harvest help this season will be plentiful, according to shipping con eerns. Although the strawberry har vest will not begin until about the sec ond week in June, inquiries are begin ning to pour in to the Commercial Club. Orchard help has been more plentiful here this spring than any lime since ivia. Work on the six-mile unit of the Mount Hood Loop Highway just south of the city is now well under way. The Webster Construction Co. has 50 men at work. A steam shovel has been put into commission, and by use of dump cars and a short rail line, eHrth from excavations will be hauled to a heavy fill that mu.t be made where the new road intersects the Co lumbia River Highway. The fill will require 3,000 yards of material. A spur rail line was extended from the O.-W. R. & N. tracks to the point where the heavy excavation has been started. The big steam shovel was transported to its point of attack over the rails. For three miles the new grade is heavy construction. Crews have already slashed the sides of the Hood River gorge, and rock men have prepared numerous holes for blasting. Travel between the city and East Hide grade is being detoured over the first wagon road opened in. pioneer times. Ixintractors who have the award for constructing a 12-mile unit of the road just north of the bounds of the Oregon National borect, have made camp and are assembling equipment. I lie long unit is comparatively easy construction. NORTH BANK HIGHWAY CLOSED TO TRAFFIC DAN WUILLE & CO. CLEAN UP FOR YEAR Dan Wuille & Co. report that they have sold their entire tonnage of last season, aggregating 4HU cars, and that final returns will be issued to growers within the next two weeks. While the company specializes in export of New towns and other varieties that are favored by the English consumers, they also handle much fruit on the domestic market. "Our export sales this season, how ever," says Walter R. Woolpert, "have been much more satisfactory than dumestie sales. We have jut received cable advices that the last block cf export apples has been sold and we expect final returns from En gland immediately. All but about 10 cars of our domestic sales have been paid for." APPLE RATE WILL STAND TILL AUGUST Louis Thun, commissioner of Ska mania county. Wash., here Sunday. reported that crews of men are now engaged on the Gxks grade unit of the North Bank Highway have blocked the route to motor traffic. The road will be closed until about July 1. Work has been in progress for about two weeks, and -it bad been planned to keep the road open on Sundays. Mr Thun staled, but contractors find that it will be best to close the road entire ly. Four crews, aggregating 100 men, are engaged on the road. riphermen wishing to reach the up per Little VN hite Salmon river, where sport is said to be very good, may come by Hood River and take the ferry to White Salmon, going thence by way of the Northwestern power plant and back down the White Salmon river to Underwood," says Mr. Thun. Ulysses S. Grant day will be ob served here today, in celebration of the 100th birthday anniversary of the noted general, by members of the American Legion Post. The celebra tion has been planned in accordance with plans of the national legion. Members of the organization will visit the four high schools of the county and deliver addresses on the life of Gen eral Grant. Speakers have been ap pointed as follows: Geo. R. Wilbur, Hood River; Edward W. Van Horn, Cascade Ixcks: Kent Shoemaker, Odell, and W. S. Dowd, Parkdale. Considerable interest is being dis played in the celebration, and it is anticipated that a large number of citizens in the vicinity of the various schools will be present for the address-, es by the Legion members. Next year the Legion will hold a similar celebra tion in honor of Robert E. Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate army. Canby Women's Relief Corps Satur day entertained veterans of the Grand Army celebration of General Grant's 100th birthday anniversary and the ffird anniversary of the organization of the Corps. Four veterans. S. F. Blythe, Jonathan Johnson, S. Onpple and Thomas Gobs, present at the cel ebration, were with Grant at the bat tle of Shiloh.

Cactner, who recently arrived from Portland to make their home here. Mr, Johnson'a experiences at the battle of Shiloh are interesting be cause of bis extreme youth. He was , only 14 years and a month old when the battle was fought. He suffered a wound there, and was in a hospital following the terrific conflict, for 15 months. He saw the noted general several times at the battle and later General Grant visited the hospital where he was confined several times. Mr. Johnson, on his recovery, re- enlisted and was with General Sher- i man's army on the march through Georgia. . Mr. Copple gave an interesting re cital of the battle of Shiluh and the rapture cf Fort Donelson and Fort Henry, as he remembered the events. Mr. Blythe read a communication to the Oregon department from national heariquaiters.
