We do not desire to rob the community of any honors due them, but we are perfectly willing to nhare our portion of uny criiHiire or crlti cIhiii made relative to thin road con trovorny. TliU Ih one matter upon which the Kust Sldera are nlinout a unit. The following communlcatlcn waH received, read and placed on file: Hood Ulver, Ore., 414, 11 To the OtlU er and Members of l'lne drove Orange: My attention has been culled to the fact that I have lieen crltlclttcd and condemned for macadam surveys. I feel that my friend have been led astray by Home misrepresentations, therefore, 1 wish to make the follow ing statement, namely: That neither myself nor men have had anything to do whatsoever with such surveys or staking, except ex actly as ordered by your honorable judge. Ilespt., Mciikay Kay. This whole matter seems to be one for which the other fellow Is to Maine. While we do not desire to blame nny Individual for past mis takes which have lieen partially cor rected, nor for mistakes now Itelng made, yet we feel that there Is some body to blame. Although our grades have been Im proved greatly, yet there Is no rea sonable excuse for us to spend ftiiHX) per mile for macadamizing 7 ier cent grades, when the finest of dirt Is ly ing at the top of the grades needing to Ik' lowered. We also feel that It Isn't necessary to tear to pieces and make almost Impassable two miles of heavily travelled road all at one time, when the laying of macadam will not Ih completed for many weeks. It seems to us that the grading need not be done farther than one-quarter ahead of the laying of macadam. At our next meeting, July 1st, there will be a specially prepared program and social entertainment. The public is cordially Invited. No charges and a good time for all. Ourdrange Is contemplating giv ing the public a rare literary treat some time this summer. Hilly Sun day and Clara II. Waldo are two of the speakers to be with ua. More delinlte announcement will appear later. One of our members who happens to live in the Odell telephone ex change district tells us that the phone service Is very good there when connected with any of the Odell phones or the business houses of Hood Itiver, but when connected with any other phones of the valley the service Is the worst that we'have ever had. In fact at times It Is al most Impossible to hear the one with whom you are talking. Our Grange hall trustees reported that they were having new stage scenery painted, and would have a surprise for the public la the way of entertainments this fall and winter. They have six attractions already booked and more wanting to come. Our amusement department is be coming very Interesting and Instruc tive, and If our citizens will assist us In patronage we will soon have the leading play house In the country. Yours for the best of everything on the Kast Hide. (jRA.NCKR. HOOD RIVER APPLES REACH JERUSALEM The fame of the Oregon apple, ac cording to adlepatcb, has penetrated to the far, far east.
