Author of "Bridge of the Goda" is
Given Simple Honors.
F. H. Balch, author of I'The Brl'dge

from the hills of Lyle, was chiseled by
L. Comlnl. a marble cutter of The

grave, in the little country cemetery
three mlletj from Lyle. The work
was done under the direction of the

A large assemblage of friends of the
poet-preacher, Balch, from The Dalle.
Lyle, Hood River and White Salmon
met at the little school house nar
Lyle Saturday morning to honor tho
memory of the man. who wrote the
"Bridge of the Gods," and witness the
ceremonies at his unmarked grav-.
There was a large number of school
children present to participate In the
exercises. The school house In which
the people met was built for a church
In 1889 by F. P. Balch, who, as a Con
gregational minister, preached to his
flock from the pulpit in that building.
A tablet, bearing the Inscription stat
ing who caused the building to he
erected, will be placed on the house si
that those attending school there here
after may know who Its builder was.
