When on Monday the two petitions,
one calling for a route up Dry Creek,
the other for a road over Seven Mile
hill, were presented to the county
court. Judge Gunning, s p i k i n g in lie
half of the members of the court, who
were present, stated that it has been
proven conclusively to him which route
is favored by the majority of the vot­
ers of Mosier ana that the Dry Creek
route would he final with the court ami
would be included in the proposed bond
issue to he voted upon at the general
election in November.
Both petitions had been left at the
Mosier Valley Bank and citizens came
in to sign them. The final count was
Dry Creek 08; Seven Mile hill. 19.
Sentiment in favor o f the bond issue
is growing each day. Study the prop­
osition and become cognizant of the
fact that the bond issue will lessen
rather than increase taxes
A five per cent grade will be provid­
ed up Dry Creek to the summit of the
ridge and from there into The Dalles
the grade will be seven per cent. A
few of the taxpayers are still holding
out for the county to bond for a high­
way along the river, but the coat is so
excessive that it is believed by others
that legislation will he put through
providing for the route to
be con­
structed by the state.

At a reception Friday night for the
teachers of the local school, 150 people
turned out to renew old acquaintances
and meet the new teachers. Msyor
Kdgar A. Bare delivered the address
of welcome, which was responded to
by l'rof. B. A. Berry, superintendent
of the Mosier school. A short program
was carried out by the pupils which
was followed by light refreshments of
ice cream and cake.
It was announced at this reception
by Mr
Race, who ia one of the
directora of the achool board, that
manual training would be initalled in
the high achool and Prof. Berry will
instruct the pupils. While the girls
were busy with their courses of domes­
tic science and domestic art the toya
had nothing to do. The course will be
started as soon aa equipment arrives.
Death of Mrs. Bothfur
Mrs. Ed. F. Reeves has rareived
word in a letter from H. F. Bothfur,
who formerly resided here, of the
death of his wife on July 5 in Salem,
III. where with her little daughter she
had been visiting relatives.
During
the past two months she had been vis­
iting relatives and friends in Indiana
She was taken ill in the early hours of
July 5 and died at 1:30 the same day
Mts. Bothfur baa many friends in
Mosier who sincerely mourn her loss.
Born June 3, 1888, she was married to
H. F. Bothfur September 21. 1904.
They had one child, Catherine Elisa­
beth. aged 6, who aurvivet and will he
sent to her aunt, Mrs Carrie McCaw-
lay in Clay Cil*, III. Mr. Bothfur was
in the real estate and iniuranee boai
ress with J. K. McGregor for • num­
ber of years here. Since leaving N o ­
sier they had been living in Portland
until a year ago when a move was
made to Round-Up, Montana, to whic»
place Mr Bothfur has now returned.

Stenographers and Typewriters Wanted
During the month o f August, 1420
visitors registered at the Eagle Creek
camp grounds on the Oregon National
forest. This does not include all the
visitors, as many who picnic there on
Sundays do not take the time to regis­
ter. There were 362 names placed on
the register the last Sunday in August.
These camp grounds are 45 miles out
of Portland and are adjacent to the
Columbia highway. A loop road from
the highway
traverses
the camp
grounds, and gives easy access to the
numerous camp sites which have been
cleared and fitted up for use by the
Forest Service. Water has been piped
to the grounds and a system of sewets
installed, and a centrally located com­
fort station has been erected for the
convenience of the public, Garbage
cans are placed at easy intervals for
public use.
From the camp grounds a pictur­
esque trail leads up the canyon of
Eagle creek. When completed it will
connect with the Herman creek trail
and make possible an attractive 22
mile trip from the highway at Eagle
creek to Wuhtum lake, and then hack
to the highway by the Herman creek
trail, The Kagle creek trail runs for
some distance on the aide of a bluff,
where it was necessary to blast a pass­
age out of the rock. The ferination
resembles that o f Shepherd's Dell on
the highway. A wonderful series of
water falls on Eagle Creek will he
made accessible by this trail. Most
visitors at the camp grounds make the
trail trip as far as the point where tho ,
contruction crew is at work.
A torest officer ia stationed at the
camping ground and looks after f i r e !
and sanitary conditions about the
place. A tent has served this season
as his headquarters, but it is planned
to erect a permanent ranger station
building in tne near future.
