By recent action taken in regard to the paving of the streets, the city council has shown that it i8live;to the siatuation of one of the city's greatest needs." The Hood River Valley has received a merited fame the world over because of the unexcelled apples it produces. The citizens of the city that bears the same name deserve credit for the part they have taken in bringing the valley to its present state of development. Every one should, and undoubtedly does, take a juct pride in the beuutiful scenery and the fertile orchard lands that lend to the environment its aesthetic and oconnmir charm. But to return to Dresent materialistic needs the otruntrpr who has heard so much of Hood River, must neccsasrily be dis appointed when he alights from the train and finds our streets in their present state. The city fathers have taken this matter up in earnest, and before the summer has begun work will have been instituted toward improving and beautifying the city thoroughfares. But before deciding on definite plai 8 the street committee desires to confer with p.'oprety owners and get their views on the work undertaken. A special meeting of the street com mittee will be held at 4:00 P. M. on Wedi es Jays of each week at the cflice of Councilman Drosius. City property owners will not ot;ly confer a favor on the membei 8 of this committee, who are giving valuable time in the en deavor to better serve the city, but will also add zest to the movement of progress and improvement by comirg out to tluse meetings. The committee desire to make known their plans to the citizens and to reeeive suggestions that may be helpful in the choice of a serviceable paving material. COMPROMISE ROAD MEASURES PASSED TELL EXPERIENCES I ..... ....... . ., I uriTif rilMTC The contest over' the various high way bills before the state legislature culminated Monday in the passage by the lower house of the Highway Com mission bill and the bonding act. The nsult was a compromise between the Good Roads organization forces and the representaiives nf the State Grange. Representatives of the State Grange and the Farmers' Union requested that the Highway Commission bill le changed to dispense with the proposed (O nmission. They were willing to ac cept the Highway Commissioner, but objected to the creation of what they termed another useless commission. However they were forced to concede the commission. Roth Hides agreed to the amendment of the Gill bonding bill so as to make it optional with the people petitioning for a bond iFBue as to whether or not the ballots in the special election should specify what, road or roads were to be improved and at the same time indicate the beginning and the terminus of such roads to be improved with the money produced from the issue of bonds. Friends of the state aid bill were willing to abani'on the measure aft i! it had been amended in the House anil the amount of the appropriation for this purpose reduced from iftJ-IO.OCO to $1! 10,000. As amended the bill pro vided that only SfMlOO annually should be available to the several counties and this amount, it was argued, was not BuMicient to accomplish much in the way of road building. WILL NOT EXTEND THIS SUMMER It is doubtful as to whether the Mt Hood Railway Co. will extend its lines to the l.oudon-l'owers ranch this year 18 was stated in Monday's .Oregonian A meeting, at which all of the com pany's directors except two were pres ent, was held in rorliiiiul msi Mimr day. However. Chas. T. Kurly. Sup erintendent of the line, states that the plans of the directors have been misin terpreted. The extension, ho says, will undoubtedly be made, but not this venr. It has been the plans and inten tion of the companv to make exten sums just us fast as the husimas of the sections to be entered juslilies mem The componv will endeavor this sum mer to improve their service as extci il- ed to 1'iirkdale. The Mt. Hood Railway is one of the few independent roads of the slate that has not been merged in the larger systems. The Portland Journal makes tile following gratifying mention of t in its editorial columns: "The geography of the valley trade railroad building possible at a not ex cessive outlay. The rapid spread if settlemeirt and of the inevitable orchards offered trallic to a railroad of reasonable cost of eonstrcution ami operation. Hy successive steps, it ! tin grown until it can boast of miles oi line. There are many other districts, many other no less fertile stretches of dairy or orchards lands, where a railroad begun on a mod 'St scale could be grad ually extended on its own account. The Hood River railway is a good example, where it serves the people attracted, or held, by its operation and so hel is Oregon. ,'Suoli a road is n it only il s. to its owners, but a blessing to the community it serves." A joint meeting of Canby Post of the Grand Army of the Republic and Canby Woman's Relief -Corps, presided over by M. P. Isenberg, was held Saturday afternoon at thK. of P. hall, in cele bration of the birth of Abraham Lin coln. A large numbsr was in atten dance and listened with interest to the stories of the Veterans, who related personal experiences of that chaotic period during which the martyred pres ident displayed rto the world and pos terity his nianohood and nobility of spirit. The program of the afternoon was opened by Miss Clara Llythe, who read in a clear impressive voice Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. This was fol lowed by an address by Fred Dietz, who told the history of Lincoln's birth, his early boyhood and the plain spoken, honest integrity that charac terized his whole life. Mrs. O. II. Raker read an article depicting the origin of Julia Ward Howe's "Rattle Hymn of the Republic." Miss Blanche Ford read the poem, "The Marches of '01 and '05," which was written for the occasion by T. J. Cunning. "Growth of the Soul of Lincoln," an article from the pen of John McElroy, was read by S. F. Rlythe. It is an ex cellent portrayal of the great presi dent, showing how, though of as hum ble a birth as that of Christ at Betnle hem, he rose to the highest pinnacle of fame. Then camo the most interesting part of the program, when the men who fought their country's buttles told of their personal experiences in the struggle. The Veterans like to call them campfire stories. T. J. Cunning, in a short address, said that he had begun his career as a miller. "At about the same period," he said, Com rade Rlythe was undertaking printing. He was a divil while 1 was a dusty." Newton Clark gave the farmers of the younger generations an idea of the difficulties and hardships faced by agriculturists of the ante-bellum per- od. G. R. Custner loiu oi ine won derful progress made in the facilities of railroad transportation and of the dutiet of the present day employee compared with those of the period when he made his debut into the rail road world. In those days there was no limit to working hours nor were there automatic breaks or couplers. John A. Wilson and Rev. J. W. Kigtiy recalled in a graphic manner the hor rors of war time prisons. An origi nal poem was read oy ivirs. wuhhmih. Alter the entire assemblage had join ed in singing the song, America, benediction was pronounced by Kev. Rigby. Two standard mado pianos were pur chased yesterday from the houle 1'iaixj Co. for the use of the students of the citv schools. One of the luunos wil be niacin! in the Hiirh School and the other at the Park Street school. llenrv Wheelhouse. of Colfax, Wash., and his tbrother, Arthur Wheel- house, of Arlington, were here last week visiting P.
