Memorial Dap They Died That We M ight Better Live It is Utting th a t we should always, and especially on W ednesday, honor our heroes who have in th e past sac ri ficed, m any of them to the last full m easure of life’s de votion, to preserve our n a t ional liberties and honor. It is fitting th a t we who live should join in trib u tes of appreciation to our hgroic dead. They may dot know, but we should not forget w hat they did and w hat they gave.' As a nation we are united. As a nation we are free. As a nation we are a t peace. The continuance of these price less blessings is largely de pendant on our attitu d e to w ard those who have sacri ficed th a t we m ight possess these treasu res of n atio n al and personal liberty. Since the tim e w hen our natio n set a p a rt M emorial or D ecoration Day as a day of rem em brance we have draw n closer and made stro n g er the bonds of unity and fra te rn i ty th a t unite us as a people. Let all, as fa r as possible, assem ble on W ednesday in our various com m unities and in our cem eteries and pay rev eren t tribute to th e de parted patriots. BIG SANDY PROJECT TO BE STARTED SOON A dam will be erected across the Big Sandy riv er to divert w ater into the L ittle Sandy, according to plans now being form ulated by H arold Clifford, state game w arden. A perm it will first have to be ob- ta.ued from the United States engi n eer’s office. I. H. Van W inkle, state attorney general, is handling the legal phases of the construction work. a. A controversy of 18 y e a rs’ sta n d ing regarding th is dam has cen tered in the office of the sta te game commission. The M ultnomah coun ty sportsm en desire the dam as thereby a g reater depth of w ater will perm it gam e fish to enter the riv e r but on th e other hand the ow ners of th e Sun Dial ranch con tend th a t a m aterial damage would be done th eir p roperty should the dam be constructed. The objections of the ranch own ers have now been overruled and the work of construction will go forw ard as soon as bids have been accepted. H alf of the expense will be met by the fish commission and th e other half by game commission. It is expected th a t satisfactory settlem ent will be made w ith the ow ners of the Sun Dial.

To say these boys were interested is cutting a long story pretty short. They w ere on tiptoes, so to speak, while being observed a t their work, and made every moment count. O. A. E astm an, nearly as excited as the boys and right on the job, w ith the W est Coast Lum ber bu reau at Longview, cooperated with the Oregon State A gricultural col lege departm ent in furnishing the lum ber and nails. Mr. Eastm an personally saw th a t the lumber was delivered to th e fair grounds. The H ill-H ubbell Paint company of P ortland gave two gallons of paint and the Columbia Chemical company mixed the paint and gave paint dem onstrations, besides do nating its paint im prover which doubles the quantity of paint. T. B. N euhausen, vice president; W. F. H oskins, director, and John Flem ing representing the company, were present in the interests of the firm. R. H. K euhner of Oregon City, county agent of Clackam as county; L. J. Allen, a ssista n t state club leader; W. J. Gilmore, head of the ag ricu ltu ral engineering d epart m ent at Oregon State A gricultural college; Dan Kohl, leader of the Pow ellhurst pig club, and Mrs. John Welhes, leader of the F air- view pig club, w ere present during the day to assist and encourage the boys. The crates were all made accord ing to scheduled plans as outlined by Mr. Gilmore, and w ere painted green.

LAST RITES SPOKEN FOR FORMER GRESHAMITE “ COMPANIONS** MAKE ASCENT OP LARI II MT. The “Companions”, a boys’ class of Bethel B aptist Bible school, with their leader, Benj. H. Davies, climbed L arch m ountain Saturday. They left Gresham a t 5:30 o'clock in the m orning and began the as cent an hour later from Multno mah falls. The summit was reached by sev eral of the group in three hours from the time of starting, the bal ance making it in four hours. A picnic dinner was enjoyed a t the ranger cabin on the summit. The visibility proved poor, the fog pre venting any view beyond the base of the pinnacle. The only snow en countered was found a few hundred yards above Perdition trail, or th a t p art of the tra il th a t leads to the top of .Multnomah falls. A ranger is on duty at the lookout station. The trail is being improved through the cutting of vines and brush and removal of jagged rocks. The party consisted of Benj. H. Davies, P arker and Ross Holloway, Ivan Korsund, Charles Conklin, Harold Judd, Roy Beadle and Alan Inglis. The retu rn trip was started at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the party reaching the base a t 3:15. All had a big time and voted the Larch m ountain trail one of the best. GRESHAM FOLK LEAVE FOB (H l R( II SYNOD Dr. and Mrs. J. G.

Local Box Factory Enlarges Building The advertising medium of any new spaper should be re garded as an asset, not only to the paper itself hut to the com munity as well. Occasionally people are found who say they are not interested in the paper because it has nothing in it but ads. While it is true the ads do not interest all the people all the time, it is likewise certain that they contain much inform ation of general interest. An advertiser in the Outlook said some time ago th at he a l ways reads all the ads. This is a good practice and many times means dollars in the pocket. A Gresham realto r says that he gets much better results from the ads in the Outlook than from those in the city dailies, and those who have tried both papers do not need to be told of the wide difference in advertis ing rates . A 20-cent ad in the Outlook usually brings several replies, according to the real estate man, while a $2.50 ad in the city paper many times brings nothing but the bill. A prom inent poultry raiser living on route 1, Portland, re ports splendid results from Out look w ant ads. As an all-around means of a cheap and quick method of p u t ting tjie various needs of home, shop and farm before the public, nothing can equal the classified w ant ad. A Gresham enterp rise which is forging its way well to the front is that of, the Rotary Cut Box A Veneer company, located directly , west of the Gresham cannery, I which is now beginning its second R eason under the m anagem ent of the owner, P.
