COUNTY RECORDS , ARE APPROVED The work of comparing and correct jng the transcription of the Wasco county records which will form the basis for the records of Hood River county has been completed bv County Clerk George D. Culbertson and his assistants and he has approved the records, which have in turn been ac cepted by the county and placed in the court house as a part of the county re cords. The county commissioners met Tuesday and after acceptance of the records, Charles W. Wentz, as the assignee of Hughes & Wentz, who con tracted to transcribe the records put in a bill of $960.60 as the balance due him for the work of copying the records' The county officials took the stand that the cost of comparing and correcting the records should be borne by Mr. Wentz. This expense amounted to $1179.35 so that' according to their claims there is $218.75 due the county from Mr. Wentz. The latter doci not feel that he should bear all the ex pense incurred by the county in the comparison of the records but offered to pay $140 as the amount necessary to make the corrections. The view of the commissioners was that the work of comparing and correcting the rec ords was inseparable, and that it should all be paid by the contractors. The representatives of the county and Mr. Wentz failed to reach an agree ment and what the outcome will be is unknown. I Display At Rose Festival. Dr. Emmet Drake, secretary of the Portland Rose Festival, which will be held June 6-11, was here Monday conferring with the directors of the Commercial Club with regard to Hood River's part in the coming celebration.

A. ( . Experts Here. Two of the horticultural experU of the Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis arespei dng conaiderable time investigating orchard conditions in the Hood Kiver valley. Prof. H. S. Jack son came Tuesday and ia making the rounds of the larger orchards of the valley and is particularly investigating the effects of the so-called "winter kilf," a disease which has attacked a few scattered trees in the valley and which is not fully understood by the experts.

C. men last year. BRUNER ORCHARD FOR FOR $1850 AN ACRE A deal was closed this week by Myron Bruner with E. L. McClain, of Greenfield, Ohio, whereby the latter becomes the owner of 19J acres of orchard on the east side, the considera tion being $36,000. This orchard which consists of five and seven year old trees about evenly divided is one of the finest in the valley and it will have a good crop for trees of those ages this fall. The ranch will be managed by E. L. McClain, Jr., who has been in the valley for some time, and a house and other improvements will be bulit on the place by him.

Yates his issued a circular to the patrons of the three rural delivery routes running out of Hood River, urging them to improve the boxes and thus aid in securing a prompt and convenient delivery of the mail. It is the wish of the PostohVe Department that all boxes and the posts to which they are attached should be painted pure white. This not only benefits the patron by pro tecting the post and box from damage by the weather, but by making all the boxes uniform it serves to fix their indentity throughout the country as U. S. mail boxes. Another result which is especially desirable in the Hood River valley ia that the boxes will have a much neater and sightlier appearance than they now have. The post to which the box is attached should be set in an easily accessible position by the roadside and the box securely fastened to a projecting arm of wood aa shown in the accompanying cut.

This allows ample space for the wheel of the wagon to pasB under the box with out the singletree striking te post. The name and number of the box should be painted plainly on the side which the carrier approaches. The signal also should be painted black.
