An invitation is partic ularly extendi il t" any auxiliary clubs or a C'nurul tedernteiii to join in inak iiij,' Saturday's in- t iiif a aignal suc cess." According to .Mr. I.oiicks, the associa tion he represent bus assisted in carry ing good road legislation in eighteen st itea, and he assert that 40 governors are members of the advisory committee, or are serving as vice-presidents in the great movement. In addition, a half million members are reported as being registered with the association in vari ous cities. Two thousand cities in the I'nited States are moving in the matter of improved conditions of transporta tion. The National (iood Hoad associa tion has the co-operation of the united press of the country and the multitude of railway system that face the surface of the union. The reason advanced as to why the railways encoii'iige the work of the association is because improved transportation to maiket towns nieanfl increased trnllic to the railroads. 'I he association works independently of the I'nited S'ales government, and it (loiiet its siipp-irt ir""i 8 organiza tion, its conventions and the voluntary contributions of its members.

Proprety owners in the western ad dition to our road district, who by the oversight of the county officials did not Hud their holdings included iu the special road assessment, are now paying their monev into the treasury along with the rest. For a time it was feared that this could not be collected, but thore was really little cause for alarm. Homer Perry left recently on a visit to his old home in Kansas. He will return again in a few weeks Mr. and Mrs. J. D. McCulley of Joseph, Or., were visitors at Pine Grove last week looking after their farm on Neal creek. Tbey expect to make Hood River their home iu the near future. Harvey Raud and wife of Portland visited relatives at IPine Grove dur ing the fore part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Merrick and son Walter of Portland have been visiting with the family of J. O. Mark. MOUNT HOOD. Wm. Keeling and wife spent a few days last week visiting friends in the lower valley. Mr. Wickham was hero last week. He seems to be very frieudly and goes to see all the people. There has not been any excitement In this part now for over two weeks. Times are getting dull. The II. S. C. boys can't get a game of ball with any one of lato. Strawberries are getting ripe here now and this week will Hud all hands busy with them. Now if some one up here would cross the milkweed with the strawberries then Mount Hood would have the best of it with berries and cream all in one. Talk about fish. P. Auburt has the best thing yet. They are so thick at his place that they dip them up in a water pail and have to strain the water to keep them out of the reservoirjou their stove. Paul says he won't soil his ranch at any price now. We are glad to see so many people in favor of a creamery at Hood River. A good creamery would be the making of this country ; make a good market for hay, also a money income for every farmer iu the community. In the course of five years we would have one of the most prosperous places at Mount Hood in the country. As fruit and dairying goes together, and there is some in all places who do not take kindly to fruit growing they would have another occupation that would suit tho average farmer, as they keep cows auyway. W. A. Ottleld has caught five bear this spring. He is verry well pleased with his catch. We see the smiling countenance of Jim L'mgelle on our streets once more. Jim knows a good place when lid tees it. The B. S. C. boys of this city wish to challenge any ball nine in the state of Oregon none barred. The game to be played on the diamond tit Mount Hood, Ore., any Sunday. John Dim mick is manager. The boys are get ting warm feet. The Mount Hood mail man, Oscar FredenbnrR has purchased a fine new wagon. Hisuow well prepared to care for the needs of the patrons along the road. Walter GribHe has retHrned from Janesullo, Wis. for a visit with his ! paiei t. I). E. Miller has ereutul a Hie new house on his ranch near Trout creek. Mr. Millie has now one of tho finest places in the upper valley. His H acres of strawberries are hard to beat. The Middle Fork Irrigating Co. is having difllculty supplying its pat rons with sufficient water. This com pany will have to hasten the enlarge ment of its ditch to enable it to sup ply the rapidly increasing needs of the valley. Mrs. W. S. Gribble is enjoying a visit from her father, C. C. Hobart of Massachusetts. Mr. Hobart was at one time master mechanic of the O. R. A N. shops at The Dalles. George Wishart is on the sick list. lhe strawberry season here is now in full blast. This section has lately increased its acreage and will soon be one of the leading strawberry dis tricts. E. F. Allen, a former stockman of j Wheeler county, but now engaged in : the lumber business at Hood River, was in town this week. Antelope Herald. . . i llrod River, Or., Juno 111 Editor (lacier: Perhaps on the ee of the annual school meeting a word concert ing a lew oi our mist urgent neons may be appropriately given that om patrons may conio to the school meet tug next Monday, piepared to assii-t in deciding tho questions of trades to bo taught and room to be provided. Last year our daily average attend auee for the year was -IU and our to tal ourolln uut a.'il, more than SO of whom weio in the school lor the first time. Wo filled almost to crowding me lour rooms in trie new building. Basing our estimate of next years auenuauco ii i u ti.is record, it is suiely a moderate i roviisou to pro vide two addilioni.i rooms. I would recommend, Hot. that a man princi pai ue placed in tno new iiuildmg on the hill win ro all the grades up to and including ttie itti tie taught. Second, that two rooms, one above the other bo added to tho southwest corner or tuo chik street building as that seems the cheapest as well as the most convenient place for added rooms. The building is now very niucn in need or painting unit the pro posed addition would cortuinlv add to its appearance. Third, that the "Three year High School course of study be adoptet adding to our present course algebra one-half year, American history one half year, geometry, literature and physics one year each. It is urged that this adidtiou is needed to ac commodate those entitled to attend school; that it will be a prominent factor iu building up our school and thereby our town and community as place for ideal homes equal to our reputation as a fruit growing section; that it can bo done at the piesent time with less expense than at some future timo when classes will be larg er and more seating room required. At present our high tchool work is too much for one teacher if he does the general supervising work and the two required can not take part of the grammar grade work on account of lack of room for such large classes and the mixed recitations would not alternate to advantage, but the super visor and one asiastant can quite well manage tho three grades of high school work. In our present condition this addi tiou would, in my judgment, mean au extra expense of about 200 for laboratory apparatus which would be come a substautiul and permanent basis for a first class laboratory. Can we afford to turn our boys and girls out of school w hen they aro yet too young to be sent away to school for this sum? Don't stay away from the school meeting next Monday and then be disappointed at any decision made on these questions. Come out and voice your sentiments. Ladies who pay taxes or aro heads of families are entitled to vote. Rospectfiillv, L. A. W1LKV. District lias Surplus on Hand.
