Tel. 3173 RADIO PLANS DRAWjNTEREST MANY ASK ABOUT UNIQUE FEATURE New Stimulus Given to Legion's Mount Hood Climb Increased Crowd Is Expected Announcement by the Hood River American Legion Post that radio con certs will be a feature of the second aunual ML Hood Climb, has created a surprising interest, according to Kent Shoemaker. The brief statement, he declares, that Lloyd Simpson, a naval veteran, who served in a radio capacity during the great war, will install a receiving act at the camp, and that efforts will also be made, with the co operation of the Oregon ian, to estab lish a transmitting outfit at the camp for broadcasting a concert of the band of the Hood River Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorrasan and an ad dress by Frank Branch Riley, has re- suiteu in scores 01 101& uniting mm about the plans. "It is beginning to look," says Mr. Shoemaker, "as if we are going to find it necessary to get busy at once in our preparations for an attendance far in excess of our anticipations up to this time. Some of those with whom I have talked estimate that we will have more than 500 . participants in the mountaineering party this year. The radio stunt, especially, if we can in stall with success a transmitting out fit, will give a stimulus to our ascents of the snow peak in future years. Mr. Riley, who is known throughout the nation for his lectures in the middle west and east on the scenic attractions of the northwest, if the broadcasting equipment can be installed, will at tract the attention of radio fans every where on the night of our campfire program. The feature is so unique that it will result in much beneficial publicity, rot only for our Legion ac tivities in developing the annual ascent of the state's most famed snow peak but it will attract attention, where radio receiving stations are in oper ation to the possibilities of Oregon for an out of door recreation. Radio ex perts tell us that it may be difficult to establish the transmitting set at the mile high altitude, as we have no buildings there for confining the broad casting apparatus. The success in overcoming any obstacles that may be met with, however, will make the ven ture all the more interesting to radio fans everywhere. We members of the Legion committee are certainly going to spare no effort in pushing our plans as we have tentatively outlined them." The Legion Mt. Hood Climb, as the ascent has come to be termed, launched only about a month in advance of the 1921 event, was a success from the very beginning. Despite the short notice last summer more than 150 par ticinated in the campfire stunts, and 86 recreationists, including Governor Oleott and Secretary of State Sam Kozer, were led to the summit by Vet eran Guide Mark Weygandt. the en thusiasm of the recreationists ol a year ago precluded a good attendance this summer. Portland and state offi cials, including Mayor Baker, of Port land, signed up and agreed to take part in the campfire programs. Mr. Riley, long an enthusiastic member of the Maaimas, who were pioneers in developing the scenic attractions of the mountain, greeted plans of the Legion members here with unstinted praise, declaring that they could not help but increase in popularity each year. The Legion Mt. Hood Climb, at now viewed by many local business and professional men, has potentialities that, in their consideration, will make the Hood River valley as well known in time as its fruit products do today, Civic and commercial organizations have endorsed the plans for construc tion of a permanent base camp for the summer recreationists. Instead of the two days that are now devoted to the climb, it is proposed to' open the camp in the future for a week or more and include in the activities Bkiing and other snowfield sports. County offi cials have expressed a willingness to aid in the development of the plans. COUNCIL SEEKS TO SAVE WATER SUPPLY The city council Monday night adopt ed an ordinance that will empower the city to condemn old dilapidated build ings considered a fire menace. It is said that immediate action will be tak en to have an old structure on Railroad avenue, formerly utilized as a lumber plant by the Bridal Veil Lumber Co.. razed. An old garage building on the Height and a feed yard immediately behind the city hall will be condemned, it is said, under the new ordinance. The council took steps to file on wa ter being developed in operations of the county in excavations of a gravel pit above the old city reservoir, where a new pool of 1.000,000 gallons capac ity is being completed. The gravel pit operations, it is said, are diverting me water from the city's spring, and has ty action, it is declared, is necessary to prevent the loss of the supply. legionTauxiliary MEET AND DINE Harry Nelson, department adjutant of the Oregon American Legion, was one of the chief speakers Monday night at a dinner tendered the local Post by the Women's Auxiliary at the Commercial Club. Mr. Nelson called attention to Che extensive work that the organization has been engaged in for ex-eervice men. Twenty-one hun dred former soldiers, sailors and ma rines, he declared, bad secured good jobs through efforts of the State Le gion Department. Claims against the government in almost all instances have been adjusted. Mr. Nelson de clared at present the body was doing all possible to make eomfcrtsLIe ex service men in hospitals in the state. He urged the attendance of all local Legion and Auxiliary members at the I state conventions to te held in Ihe j Dslles July 27, 28 and 29. The dinner as presided over jointly i bv Mrs. Geo. R.

APPLE BLOOM WILL BE VERY HEAVY The stage is set in the Hood River valley .accruing to growers of nearly every section, lor a greater profusion of apple blossoms than has ever pre vailed here with the exception oi the record spring of 1919. Although this season, figuring back over a period of years, Should be the off-spring for a heavy bloom, the freeze of December, 1919. seems to have resulted in a switching of the alternate heavy and light crop years, and the blossoms of this spring, from fruit spur indica tions, will be much heavier than last year. "1 was through our tracts yester day," says II. F. Dav'dson. "and I saw only a few trees that will not be loaded with blooms. The trees will have considerably more blooms ' than last season." C. R. Bone, w ho has observed condi tions in his tracts, says he is surprised at the uniform profusion of fruit buds. "I will have the heaviest bloom I believe 1 have ever seen in a orchard." he declares. 'The trees are loaded with fruit spurs, every branch carry ing its burden." From present indications, Sunday May 14, will be observed as Blossom Sunday by citizens of the valley, and many are already sending out invita tions to friends and acquaintances. Although no set program is arranged, families of city and valley, during the blossoming season keep open house, and hundreds of visitors from Portland and other neighboring cities are enter tained here. Hotels of the community also feature entertainment of blossom week guests. Pear and cherry trees of the river levels are now in full bloom. Graven stein apples in city backyards are showing the pink, snd in a few days will be a mass of snowy blossoms. Pears and cherries are beginning to open in tracts of the Lower Valley, and visitors to the district from now on until the first of June, when Upper Valley sections will be in full blossom, will be rewarded with a sight of blos soms of some kind. Visitors motoring here to see the blooms are advised to penetrate the big apple areas bv way cf the West Side. Roads of all West Side districta are in good condition. In ease they wish to see the Fast Side, it is advised that they cross Hood River at Tuck ers Bridge and motor back the same way. in order to avoid detours necessi tated by construction of the valley trunk cf the. Mount Hood Loup High way, which les wholly on the Last Side. In order to approach orchards of the Pine Gmve district by cnwsirg Hood river at the city it will be neces sary to travel a detour over an old road leading over the steep rar.ge fJt east of the city. This road may cause trouble for thrne not accustomed to it grades and turns.
