SANDY ISTEWrS
Funds Will Greatly
Aid Forest Service
SANDY, Feb. 14. C. L. Hensen,
head of the forest service at Zig Zag
submits the following to the Enter
prise in the hope of awaking a greater
interest among the public in forest
protection for the coming season.
"Of the $15,000,000 apportioned by
the Secretary of Agriculture among
27 states, Alaska and Porto Rico in
which national forests are located for
the construction of roads and trails
Oregon will receive $1,875,644. In the
totals allowed for all National Forest
states Oregon ranks third, Washing
ton fifth, and Alaska, seventh.
"Of this sum, nine and a half mil
lions known as the 'National Forest
Highway Fund' is set aside for the
roads of primary importance to states,
counties and national forest commun
ities. Five and a half millions will be
used to construct roads and trails that
are needed for administration and use
of the forests themselves.
"These appropriations will mean the
development of roads and trails which
will aid materially in fire "protection.
At present there are large areas of
trackless widerness within the nation
al forests that cannot be reached even
by trails. When electrical storms
sweep overe thesce inaccessible areas
there are heavy losses of public tim
ber. "Foresters think speed is just as
. important in reaching a forest fire
to save the coutry's timber as is speed
in city fire protection.
"But, 'high speed' in the forest
means four or five miles an hour over
a mountain trail, and if there is no
trail it is often impossible for lire
fighters to average over one foui ih of
a mile per hour.
'These new appropriations are also
expected to give a new impetus to the
work of opening up areas of scenic
beauty for the use and the enjoyment
of the American people, as well as
open up tracts of valuable timber.
"Much of the long delayed construc
tion in Oregon, Washington and Alas
ka can now go forward, though the
forest service estimates that eventu
ally over a hundred million will be
required to supply a thoroughly ade
quate system of transportation through
the 156,000,000 acres withinihe nation
al forests."
Old Timer Recalls
Joke of Early Day
SANDY, Feb. 14. Mrs. Alma Mar
onay reports her father, J. H. L. May
bee as still improving at his home in
Lents. Maybee is an old Sandy pio
neer and tells the following joke that
happened at a Thanksgiving dinner
at the home of "Joan" Cline in the
early days, when amusement had to
be "manufactured" mostly at home.
"Eighteen were seated at the boun
tifully spread table at which all did
justice but when 'pie time' came one
of the pies was missing! Mrs. Cline ac
cused her husband of eating it and he
steadfastly denied doing so, till they
were about to have warm words when
Maybee ottered to settle the contro
versy by saying: "Jonas Cline, will
you swear you did not eat the pie?"
"I will," said Cline. "Then stand up"
ordered Maybee, "and hold up your
right hand." cl'ne obeyed. "Now do

Sandv Ridge School
Site Is Selected
SANDY, Feb. 13. There was a big
school meeting at the Sandy Ridge
school house last Saturday which was
also attended by County Superintend
ent Vedder who walked up from Eagle
Creek in order to attend this meeting.
The committee on selection of a site
for a new school building reported as
having decided upon one and a half
acres beloning to Henry Herman,
which is directly opposite the old Dun
can place. The price is reported as
$300 per acre. The district voted a
short time ago to construct a two
room building that would cost $4000.
The report of the committee was ac
cepted, and people seem to be satis
fied with the site. Chas. Krebs re
signed as school clerk and Louis
Gherke was elected clerk for the rest
of the year.
Free Circulating
Library Started
SANDY, Feb. 15. The first install
ment of fifty books from the state li
brary were received here Saturday
and will be given out from the Scales
stores. This splendid movement to se
cure a free circulating library here is
under the direction of the Women's
club, and the club is also financing the
project. Shelves will be put in the
rear of the Scales store, and books
may be secured by an responsible
person in Sandy. The selection is far
better than it was thought possible
to secure, and the club deserves much
encouragement, for a library has been
one of the most vital needs of the
town.. Books may be secured at any
time on Tuesdays.
Fine Program Given
At Community Sing
SANDY, Feb. .14. Another fine
audience assembled at the church
Sunday night to enjoy the Commun
ity Sing, and the congregation did
more and better singing than at any

special part of program: Voluntary,
"The Rossary," Miss Lippold. Re
sponsive reading; recitations by Mar
garet Bell and Virginia Wolfe; song,
Ronnie Esson: Violin, George Beers
and Henry Quam, accompanied by
Miss Gertrude Meinig. Song, James
Kesterson. Miss Margaret Miller sang
two solos and was encored. A song
and drill was given by six of Mrs.
Connor's pupils, and Mrs. Connor's de
serves especial mention for their
splendid training. The children were
recalled. Lola Dodd gave a little reci
tation in a Cupid costume. Mrs. F. D.
Eason played an organ solo, "The
Priests Marche." Mrs. Blanche Sbellay
read a short tribute to Abrahom Lin
coln, and the pulpit was draped with
"Old Glory" in honor of February
12. The reading was followed by "The
audience sang with great enthusiasm
REV. ESSON TO PREACH
SANDY, Feb. 15. R. E. Esson has
received word that his brother, Rev.
Albyn Esson of Dallas, Oregon, will
preach at the Methodist church here
on Sunday evening, Feb. 26, at 7:45
o'clock." Rev. Esson is a minister in
the Christian church and is a gradu
ate of the Kentucky an3 Chicago uni
versities, and is a "jolly, live-wire fel
low." who does not believe in long

capacity audience. There will be spe
cial music provided for the occasion.

for the Dairyman, the large
Grangers Discuss
Important Topics
SANDY, Feb. 13. The Grange meet
ing on Saturday was a live one despite
the story day, and a good attendance
was "there." There were interesting
discussions, also articles read to show
how little the producer received for
his product cdmpared to the retailer.
As a definite example, the price re
ceived by a Hood River apple grower
for two car lots of the '21 crop show
ed he got $1.00 for raising, the broker
$1.05 for selling; the wholesaler $1.60
(out of which he paid the cartage and
freight, leaving about 40 cents net
profit,) and the retailer, after adver
tising "Apples at Special Prices" sold
them at $2.75 in the Portland mar
ket, clearing "only" $1.15 per box.
The Farm Bureau was discussed
from various angles and was recom
mended as worthy of a trial, regard
less of some deficiences.
A splendid dinner was served after
which a short program was given,
which included a reading by Caroline
Chown, then every one present was
called upon to do "something for the
good of the order, and the response
was most gratifying.
The most important work of the
day, however, was the action taken
in regard to erection of a high school
at Sandy. Hanneburg of Bull Run and
others made most enthusiastic
speeches in favor of uniting with the
union district,, and said his biggest
mistake was in sending his boy to
Portland to high school, and that he
wanted to send the rest of his children
to the home high school. Hanneburg
made a strong talk on the value of a
high school education.
Sandy Men Attend
Dairy League Meet
SANDY, Feb. 14. Walter Krebs,
W. Bosholm, Carl Wendland and F.
Lohrmann went to Gresham Monday
to attend a neeting of the trustees of
the Dairy League and to help discuss
which was the best way to liquidate,
and get the most money possible out
of the back pool.
After the affairs of the league are
settled these Sandy stockholders are
in favor of reorganizing, and bringing
the "corpse" to life again and going
ahead under local management. This
has been done in several places suc
cesfully. High School Site
Favored by Grange
SANDY, Feb. 14. The Sandy
Grange went on record, unanimously,
in favor of the erection of a high
school building on the new site recent
ly donated by Ed. F. Bruns, favoring
the issue of warrants, rather than
bonding the districts. A. C. Thomas
and J. E. Hanneberg of Bull Run, F.
M. Canning of Kelso, A. J. Morrison
of Dover, J. G. DeShazer of Firwood
and others made strong talks in favor
of getting busy at once, that a building
may be completed some time in the
fall. Canning was very enthusiastic
and thought we should build, even
though it should be necessary to call
a bond issue.
SOCIAL ENJOYED
SANDY, Feb. 14. The Sandy Re
bekah Lodge had a delightful social
hour after the regular session last
Thursday night. Games were played
and old fashioned square dances were
much enjoyed. A delicious supper was
