PINE GROVE GRANGE
KICKS ABOUT ROADS
The ki-hiiko mwtluK nt I lue IJrove
Hall recently wan a very lutere-tlng
one. Koine lively toikn were din
cuHMed. The prlnelpal one wan our
preneut iMTinanent roml Improve
inent muddle. It Heeins that l'lne
tirove (JrauKu Ik netting the credit
(or all the kicking done by the Knnt
Kldern. 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.

HOOD RIVER APPLES
REACH JERUSALEM
The fame of the Oregon apple, ac
cording to adlepatcb, has penetrated
to the far, far east. The fruit has
appeared on the streets of Jerusalem
and Its quullty has leen appreciated.
Mrs. Charles Halvorsen recently re
ceived the following praise of Hood
Itiver apples In a letter from her
nephew, Lewis Heck, assistant to
the I'nlted States Consul at Jerusa
lem: "The enclosed piece of wrapper will
show that the famed Hood Itiver
brand has reached this far-away land.
When the big American tourist
steamers landed on the coast here In
March I had n little taste of some
really good apples. The native va
rieties are small and scrubby."

WILL OPEN CLOUD GAP
LATTER PART OF WEEK
Miss A. C. Jewell, who has had
charge of Cloud Cap Inn for several
seasons, arrived here Saturday and
has been making preparations to
open this popular resort this week.
It Is expected to have the Inn ready
for guests the latter part of this
week.
Miss Jewell says this maybe the
last season that the Inn will be
opened as It Is far from being a big
financial success and that Mr. Ladd,
who owns the establishment, was
Indifferent as to whether It was
opened this year or not.
As the Inn Is one of the greatest
advertisements that the valley has
ever had It Is hoped that It will be
continued In operation and that
Hood Ulver people will co-operate In
making It possible to keep It open.
The servants, who have been at the
Inn for several seasons, were taken
up Tuesday, and Miss Jewell, who
has been staying with the Uellarts
for a day or two will go up tomor
row. A big 60-horse power Stearns car,
owned and driven byt'has. E. Hicks,
will make the run to the Inn this
year and arrived here Saturday.
Sunday Mr. Hicks took a drive over
the lower part of the valley to ac
quaint himself with the roads as far
ns Straight hill. The highways In
many places are In bad condition for
a big car loaded with passengers,
and he will endeavor to pick out the
route on which he can make the time
necessary to get patrons of the Inn
back and forth.
