Five pairs of horses are used to deliver three wagons of wool to The Dalles Wool Trade Center in The Dalles, which operated from 1864 to
1894. The building is located just east of the Sunshine Mill Winery and Tasting Rooms and remains in use today. The sign on the left side
of the building reads, Highest Prices Paid For Sheep Pelts.

Contractors are at work
tearing town the old Park
St. School and if able only
the site and piles of lumber
and rubbish will remain at
the end of another week.
The old school bell, which
has rung out the invitation
to Hood River pupils for 25
years at Park St. School, and
which was on the old court
house five years before, will
be transferred to the new
building and installed with
appropriate exercises in the
near future. — Hood River

A center of interest in
town on Tuesday of last
week was a giant, portable
concrete mixer, known as
the “Mixermobile,” which
is one of a number of these
machines being built in
Portland. The Mixermobile,
which is fully automatic
in all its operations, has a
capacity of two cubic yards
of mix, yet is so portable
that it can easily be driven
under its own power point
to point on any fair road.
Following the Mixermobile
was a new type of concrete
spreader, also self-powered,
which, it is claimed, will
do a surprising rapid and
efficient job. The equipment
was on its way to Pendleton,
where a new airport is to be
constructed. — Hood River

New work on the

river came in for a recom-
mendation of $100,000 for
new work. — The Dalles

Eight teams from the Big 6
and Deschutes B leagues are
entered. The winner goes

Petitions disapproving of
the “continuous pressure”
being applied on the subject
of fluoride emissions are
being circulated in The

not attributable to the alu-

However, it was noted that
because of requirements
across the country, includ-
ing the St. Helens eruption,
the money might not all be
available this fiscal year.
But the Department of
Transportation plans to let
a contract in May at least
to start the repair work this
year. — Hood River News
A loophole in the city
traffic ordinance makes it
tough to enforce a ticket for
parking in a yellow striped
zone unless the zone also
has signs which spell out
the reasons. Therefore, the
city attorney will adjust the
ordinance to repair the sit-
uation. The situation came
to light some time ago when
City Judge Ron Somers,
following a 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals principle, noting
that proper notice is not
necessarily served simply be
painting the sidewalk curb
yellow because different cit-
ies in Oregon and different
states use different colored
paint to mean different
things. — The Dalles Daily

precedents and Washington

Superior Court Judge Ted
Kolbaba ruled that jurisdic-

one 18-year-old will remain

and Arthur James Cloud,
both aged 17, were arrested
by federal and county police
officers and charged with
first degree murder in the
axing death of Gary Frank.

Patricia Roberts had a
“certain feline” something
was up on Wednesday.
Roberts’ cat “was running
all over the house, very anx-
iously,” around her Parkdale
home starting around 10
a.m. Then, at 10:55 a.m., the
floors shook as Wednesday’s
earthquake rumbled
through Hood River County.
“As soon as it stopped, she
calmed right down. They say
cats can sense earthquakes,
and now I know it’s true,”
she said. Throughout the
county, people in homes
and businesses felt their
chairs move, floors rock and
walls wobble, but there was
no damage reported any-
where. — Hood River News
In an effort to cut back

ago by The News, it is now
assured that a fine modern
hotel will be built on or near

Mrs. Baldwin held the
undivided attention of the
crowd for more than two
hours as she told of her
experiences in dealings with
fallen girls in the various
cities of the Pacific coast.
Closer parental supervi-
sion of children, a communi-
ty center of recreation, prop-
erly supervised, and proper
supervision of all types of
amusement, including pool
halls and motion picture
theaters, were advocated by
Mrs. Baldwin as a few of the
things that must come about
before the boys and girls of
the coming generation can
be “saved from perdition.”
“The Devil hasn’t got all
of the good things yet,” she
explained in closing. “Even
if he has gained control of a
great deal of the music.”

Silver Deluge — All of the available silver dollars in the Pacific
Northwest were being paid to employees of Harvey Aluminum here
today to demonstrate impact of the industry’s payroll on the econ-

gathered from Federal Reserve System vaults in Portland and San
Francisco and the Denver mint.

“The way modern girls
and women are dressing, the
average man can’t tell a good
one from a bad one.”
“The trouble with the
modern woman is that she is
too lazy to make her children
mind.”
“Modern girls are mar-
rying at the age of 16 and
18; marrying men whom
they wouldn’t even look at
if they were 24; men who
can’t make enough money
even to keep the girls in silk
stockings.”
These shafts at “so-called
modernism” were fired last
night by Mrs. Iola G. Baldwin,
head of the women’s protec-
tive division of the Portland
police department, before
an audience of more than
200 persons, crowded into
the circuit court room of the
local court house. She spoke
at the invitation of the local
chapter of the W.C.T.U.
