The vital factor in attracting birds is
the food supply. This may be fur

and the like, or by planting trees,

(From Hood Kiver (.lacier)
The recent report o f the Engineer
Corps of the United States Army,
transmitted last week to the members
of the commercial organization by Ma
jor Arthur Williams, of Portland, to
the effect that the proposed dredging
of the mouth of Hood river was not
feasible because of the heavy expense
that would be incurred, is not pleasing
to the Commercial cluh. Despite the
unfavorable report from the federal
engineers, the club members at their
annual meeting Monday night, decided
to proceed with plans that look toward
an unltimate opening of a channel
through the sandbar that has furmed
north of the city.
In his annual report, K. E. Scott ex
presses the opinion that the proposal of
a dock east o f Hood river and reached
by piling will not be for the best inter
ests of the city
The club's plans of
opening the old Hood river channel
would bring the wharves close to the
business district o f the city, while the
government plans would take the dock
nearly a half mile from town.
Secretary Scott announced at the
meeting that plans were under way
that would render the club free from
debt at the beginning of next year.
New members of the board of direc
tors elected were: W. L. Clark, J. M.
Culbertson, C. J. Calkins and C. C.
I emmon. They succeed R. B. Perigo,
D. Ci. Cruikshank, S. A. Mitchell and
A. S. Heir.
