The pioneers of te White Salmon district are Mr. and Mrs. A H. Jewett. When they came here in the early seventies there were less than half a dosen fam ilies In this entire district. Today ap proximately 4000 people make their home in the White Salmon valley and about 10,000 acres are set out to fruit, Strawberries and other crops. In the paat the White Salmon valley and Camas valley have been principally known for their timber, waterpower, hay, fruit and grain. An auto trip through the valley will prove that won derful progress has been made during the past few years in the way of clear ing the land and setting out orchards and planting extensive fields to straw berries. Good Boads Help. . The coming of good roads has meant that the Trout Lake farmer can bring out' his hay crop and as a consequence much hay is being raised and snipped from this district. Dairying is gradually replacing stock raising, and the traveler through the valley will see many herds or mgn grade cows. ' Three miles up the White Salmon river is located the Northwestern jaeo- trtc company's power plant. Here heat and power are taken from the tumult ous waters of the White Salmon and sent on a copper wire 75 miles to Port land to run elevators, operate machin ery, and heat and light- offices and homes. Power and light is also secured here to operate the pulp and paper mills at Camas. The dam which is located half a mile above the power plant is of solid concrete and is 400 feet long, 1S5 feet high, 100 feet in thickness at the -base tapering to 15 feet at the top and impounds the water that furnishes 20,000 horsepower. In days to come the White Salmon district will become more famous for Its incomparable scenery than it now Is for the excellence of its apples and strawberries. To the northward of the town of White Salmon about "5 miles rises snow-capped Mount Adams. The snow line of the mountain Is but 12 miles from Trout I,ake. The drive from White Salmon to Trout Lake is one of rare beauty. The picturesque White Salmon with Its deeply-cleft knifelike gorges, its rapids and waterfalls, is zollowed for many miles. Leaving the river the road winds through the dim cathedral isles of the forest -till the open country adjacent o rrout iaKe is reached. ; 1170m iroui Lake thero are scores of interesting Jaunts to be made. Caves Are Interesting. ' The ones best known are the trips to the ice raves and the lava caves It is like a visit to Fairyland to make one's way with pitch pine torches through the l caves. The sputtering flickering light from tlie pitch pine , torch is reflected in dazzling brilliance from the columns of ice and it seem as though one hnd found the home of the rainbow for from every broken elele the light Is reflected in the blending colors of the seven-hued arch In making one's way through the Stygian darkness of the lava caves one seems to have penetrated to the j.tou or me gnomes and elves so grotesque are the lava formations an so mysterious is the inky darkness and silence. From the mountain side of Mount Adams you can look to where the Co iumbia gleams like an emerald ribbon or if the sun is reflected from its sur face it looks llko a sinuous .stream of fluick silver.. In the background is the Hood River valley with its varying 1 Shades of malachite and Jade; while high over all, dominating the scene, is majestic Mount Hood. Where Indians Barry. Another favorite Jaunt of the sum mer vacationist is the trip to Huckle- berry mountain. Here, through count - less ages, the Indians have gathered each summer to pick wild strawberries and to gather and dry huckleberries. Here in a natural grass grown ampi theater they have each, year staked their possessions on the speed and en durance of their favorite eayuses ' While the squ&ws were nirflsrri in gathering huckleberries their lord and masters were engaged in the sport of kings and were risking their all in itorseraclng. or cramblintr.

While we are canvassing the state for available foodstuffs let us not forget the shell and small fish that abound along the beach and in every bay, inlet and small stream of the Oregon coast. On the smooth ocean beach, espe cially near a bay or small stream in let, the "razor-back" clam is found In abundance in large beds or colonies which extend for several hundred yards along the beach close to the low-water mark. These colonies often shift their feeding grounds between seasons and in some cases and for a short distance between tides. On sandy bay beaches is found the mammoth quahog and where the beach is covered with small rocks and peb bles, usually where some fresh water spring in the bluff sends its tiny trickling stream down across the beach. Is found the cockle-shell. Fur ther up the fresh water steram on the . mud flats are numberless "mud clams," equal in flavor and tenderness to any of the beach clams. SIT 1m With Spade. During the summer months any of these clams can easily be obtained, for any one capable of manipulating a spade in the back yard garden can easily dig clams, This scene in the Netarts country Is a sample of fine fishing place along the Oregon coast. L APPLE ASSOCIATION TESTIMONY PUTS OU T. MADE D VIDENDS Letters Show, However, That Such Were to Be Expected by the Members, Hood River, Or.. May 19. A sensa tion was sprung Saturday evening in the case of the Hood River Orchard company vs. the Apple Growers' asso ciation, when, on cross examination jof General Manager A. W. Stone of the association, it was admitted that let ters had been sent each year during the existence of the association to the growers who would give the associa tion notice each "ear that thev ex pected to cancel their contracts, which letters as introduced In evidence ad vised the growers expcting to cancel that if they did so they would not participate in the annual dividends. However, it was testified that no dividends had ever been declared as suggested In the letters. In answer to the question from Attorney H. S. Wil son, addressed to IC?inager Stone, "You used this method and promise of a probable dividend as a sort of a club to keep the growers in and to prevent them leaving the association, did you?" Mr. Stone answered. "Yes. I suppose that is what you would call it." XCo rismxes Bet. It was admitted by the defense that the methods of keeping the books of the association did not show what amounts would be due each member in the event of a dividend being declared, conforming to the distribution of the section of the by-laws that provides for a per box dividend. The following section or the asso- iatlon's by-laws is the "bone of con tention' and the storm center of the egal battle being waged by Attorneys Fred Wilson of The Dalles and A. E. Clark of 'Portland, for the defense, and Attorneys E. C. Smith of Hood River and Huntington & Wilson of Port land, for the plaintiff: When the pools are finally closed any amount over and above the actual amount necessary to properly and eco nomically conduct the business and af fairs of the association for such year. as aforesaid, shall be returned to the members In the form of a dividend based on an equal amount per box on apples, pears and strawberries anrk half that amount on peaches in stand ard sized crates and cherries in 10- pound boxes." It is contended by the plaintiff that a distribution under this Section of all surplus runds arising from the sale of fruits is obligatory, while the de fense contends that the association can take the surplus earnings arising from the sale of fruits and invest the same in betterments and real properties. The above section has been amended this year by the association that will permit it to retain all the funds ac cruing as profits from all souroes of revenue and make no returns of divi dends and Invest the profits as tho board of directors may suggest. It ls expected that the case will continue for- some days during next week. The Hood River Orchard com pany asks for an accounting of the affairs of the association since 1913, and is seeking t secure its proportion of the surplus funds arising from the sale of fruits, now said to amount to approximately $81,000. Labor Shortage Feared. Hood River, Or.. May 19. That Hood River ls facing a serious labor shortage for the fruit season, is now admitted by practically all of the growers. Coast Artillery company, No. 12. scheduled to be mobilised early In July, will take about 75 young men from the community; added to this about 20 men who hae gone into the regular army and navy, with Hood River county's quota of approximately 45 members are subject to the se lective draft soon to begin. With this large number of young men taken from ths valley, It practically cleans up Hood River's corps of expert apple packers. Sentiment is growing rapidly look ing to the importation of labor from Japan or the Philippines to relieve the fruit harvest situation here. While It has been suggested that the school children be drafted into farm labor corps, it ls now found that they will be busied with their home garden work, and little help can be expected from them in the general fruit gath ering season. WATCH YOUR STEP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BREAK ANY NEW LAW Approximately 350 Virgin Statutes and Amendments Effective at Midnight, Salem, Or., May 19.

Then there is the mussel, which to the present time is neither well known or extensively used on this coast, al thourh It has long been a great fa vorite with the Indians. In many places can yet be found great shell mounds where were cast the shells from many a tribal clam and mussel "bake." A cousin to the clam, "the mussel Is of a coarser meat, but is of good flavor and of higher nutritive value than either clam or oyster. Unlike the clam that buries itseif in sand or mud, the mussel lives In clusters or groups on large rocks partly coverel by sea water. Like the clam they can. be gathered only at low tide, and a short iron bar is best used to pry them from the rocks. Last, but not least, comes the crab, and when you see him coming yoii will want to get out of the way. Though an ugly creature, the crab is nevertheless very . popular, the flesh being tender, white and delicious.

At a meeting of the Parent-Teacher asso ciation, held last night, the matter of the character of films being displayed in the moving picture houses came up for lengthy consideration and the sentiment was quite strong against the general character of the films run in the movies as being unfit for the entertainment of the children of the city. The matter of a Junior high school was also considered, but it was found impracticable at this time to organize such a department In the Hood River schools, as it would take one of the grades from the high school course.

So ap proximately 350 new laws and amend ments to old laws will be in force after Sunday midnight. These new laws cover a wide range from trivial subjects to matters of considerable Importance. The new in surance code, which embodies an en tirely new draft of laws for the regu lation of insurance concerns doing business In the state, will go into ef fect. Another of similar nature is the law creating the office of state fire marshal and prescribing his powers and duties. Bom of ths Hew Laws. Here are some of the new laws which will be of widest interest: Certificate of public convenience and necessity Requiring all public Bervice utilities to obtain from the public serv ice commission a certificate of public convenience and necessity before en tering a new field already served by another company. To obtain this cer tificate the utility must show that the public Interest will be best served by its entering the field.

Convicts Making it a crime to com municate to another the fact that a person ls a Convict or has been a con vict, when such communication ls made for the purpose of depriving said person of employment or of extorting money from him. It is also a crime to threaten to make such a communi cation. Bw Motor segtolations. Motor vehicles New regulations for motor vehicles are prescribed and the license fes are doubled. The provision doubling the license fees, however, does not become effective until Au gust 1. Road laws. The present system or taking care of county roaGs under the direction of supervisors is abolished and a road master is to be appointed In each county.

Meat Easily Canned. The meat of any of these shell crea tures can easily be canned, and dur ing a summer's vacation of two or three weeks the summer visitor could easily can a generous supply for win ter use, the cost of shipping being comparatively small. This could not be done, however, by those .who spend their summer vaca tion at the large resorts, for theJ beaches near these places are daily gone over by those who dig and fish for market, but between these resorts are many miles of ocean beach and numberless small bays. Inlets an1 fresh water streams easily accessible and the vacationist who has an eye to winter "eats" will combine business and pleasure and go where he or she can use spade and cans. During these summer months the fresh-water streams for miles abovi their outlet abound in salmon trout which can be caught by troll or ordi nary trout casting, and can be salted of canned for the winter. In trollinc one can also use a salmon troll, and a few Chinook canned or salted don't go "so bad." There are also perch, flounders, etc., to be caught with the hook and line, and smelt with dip nets.
