CLUB ENDORSES MOUNTAIN ROAD RECOMMEND LARGE APPROPRIATION Secretary Kauffman Turns in Resignation - State Game Warden Will Deliver Address on Birds Here Soon. At 11 meeting of the Hoard of Direc tors of the Comcrcial clut) held Tues day afternoon, the sercctary of the club was instructed to communicate at mice with the Oregon representatives of Congress the club's endorseinnet of the proposed appropriatoin of If 150,000 to be used toward the completion ol the road that lias been surveyed from fear Lost Lake in the southern part of this county to a point near the term inus of the Sandy road. The government spent the sum of f 10,000 hist Summer in clearing a trail over the proposed route. The way is said by all who have seen it to be one of the most beautiful for a scenic high way in the vicinity of the wonerful mountain. In no place will the grade be above seven per cent. The govern ment crew of men cut a trail six feet w ide over the entire distance Num erous citizens have recently discussed the way and the conclusion has been reached that the route should be opened by the National government. At a meeting of the directors, a communication was presented by Sec retary Horace G. KsulTman, who stated that on account of ill health, he t'ouud that he was unable to attend the duties of the club and asked that his resignation, effective, March 15, be coni-idi rud. The board accepted Mr. Kautfinan's resignation, lie will return to his former home in Illinois. No decision has as yet been reached as to the appointment of a successor for the position of a publicity man ager. It is uneislood that Kay Scott, of the East Side, who at present is in 1 'cut land, will be among the applicants for the position. A great portion of the time of the directors Tuesday aftenoon was taken up with a discussion of tinancial mat ters. It is probable that at a near date W. L. Einley, state game warden, will de liver an illustrated lecture before the club membra on Oregon birds. Mr. Einley, one of the foremost ornitholo gists of the country, has written several books on American birds, and his lecture will prove decidedly inter esting both to the older members of the business orgnniazlion as well as the children of the city.

BIG CROP PREDICTED FOR EAST WASHINGTON COUNCIL DELIBERATES ON SEWERS AND WIRES, Whilo the temperature of the past week was decidedly too warm for fruit, no damage has been done, says a dis patch from Walla Walla, and unless it holds for another week or two, the crop will not be hurt Hut with two or three weeks more of weather such us those just passed, the fruit would In! farther advanced than safe at that time of the year. Huils on the trees are swelling in all parts of the valley, hut cooler weather piobably will hold them back until the danger point is passid. Work in the orchards has been going on in good shape in all parts of the valley in the hist week, pruning and budding being the main operations. The trees are being better pruned this year than ever before, and if all indi ciatons hold, the branches will be in much better shape to hold a big crop. Spraying will be taken op within a fortnight, and already live carloads of spray have been shipped in for the operations. More will arrive as it is needed, and the fruit inspectors will see that there is no slighting of this work this year. So far, everything points to a big fruit crop for 11(12, and only untoward weather conditions would change this. LAFEAN 1ULL Itlf APPEARS IN CONGRESS Western horticulturists must prepare to defend themsleves from injury to their apple industry as a result of the reintroduction of the I.afean apple box bill by Congressman Sulzcr, of New York. Until recently it was be lieved no attempt would be made to secure this legislation, but pressure from Eastern growers was brought to bear on the New York Representative to introduce the bill. The measure has been referred to the interstate and foreign commerce com mittee this season instead of to the agricultural committee in hopes it will be more favorably received by the first-named body. The agricultural committee would again refuse to report the bill, it is understood, but the ma jority of the interstate committee is believed to be favorable to the Sulzer measure. Hearing will be had on the bill early in March, and unless West ern apple growers take concerted action it is believed strong influence of Eastern and Southern people will be exerted to pass the measure. League Team Klects. The baseball fans of the Lower City met Monday evening and organized the Hood Kiver Haseball League. The officers of the organization are: Carl Ke it, manager, William Haker, secre tary ; Erank Meyer, treasurer. The aggregation met with excellent success last year, and their manager declares that they will get together a likely bunch of horse hide iart;sis this 1 season. No schedule is worked out I yet, but the boys hope to hear from the best teams of the state and sign up with them. The greater portion of the delibera tions of the city council at the Monday night metthg was taken up wi h discussions as to methods of cotrolling the construction of the wires of tele phone and wire companies in the city and a means of remedying the in capacity of the sewer system to care for waste water of the city. Coun cilman Mayes, chairman of the Judi ciary committee, announced to the couniel that he considered it advisable for the committee to hold a meeting and invite representatives from all the different companies to be pres ent and offer suggestions as to the most feasible methods of reconstruct ing the present systems of wires. However, Councilman Robertson stated that in case such were done, the committee would be no further frum an actual beginning than at present. All the companus would devise methods most feasible to them sleves, be said. "The clauses of an ordinance controlling such wiring," said Mr. Robertson," should conform as near as possible with the State Em ployers' Liability Act. The com panies themselves should be willing to cooipiy with this law ; for if any one were injured under existing conditions, the cost of indemnifying the injured person under existing conditiors, would lie three times as much as the cost of a reconstruction of the lines." An ordinance, which Councilman Hrosius, chairman of the Kire and Water committee had caused to be drawn, passed first reading. This or dinance provides for measures, con firming with the existing state laws, to conliol the extension of wiring in tne city limits. The ordinance provid ing for the construction of lines lias been referred to the peopel and will be voted upon at a special election, March 2. An ordinance will probably be introdued providing for the wires in the tire limits of the city to be placed underground. The sewer discussion arose, when it was announced that the pipe leaning across the Mats below th" city was not of sullicient capacity nt certain times of the day to carry the waste water trom the city. City Engineer l M. Morse stated that he thought the sewer of ample size to carry the or dinary sewage but that it was chok ed by water trom water motors mak ing use of the Hood Kiver Apple Growers1 Union power. The Health committee was instructed to con tinuous its endeavors to find some remedy for the incapacity of tne pipe ilne, and to determine what right the users of the power company's water had to discharge it in the sewers. 1 he street committee reported that the work on the East Side Grade was rapidly going ahead. It was decided to purchase a small strip along por tions of the highway, in order to prevent the necessity of building an expensive concrete wall. 11 IS GIVEN BOOST That the teaching of music should have a place in the public schools ( f the country was the opinion ol a great many of the members of the Home a; U School Association, which nut in the room of the High School building Mon day evening, when a lecture on music in the public schools was dehveicd by ,1. II. Jeffry, of Portland, but formerly of Indiana. However, others thought that musical training should nut be instituted in the schools until courses in manual training were established and the schools had well equipped gymnasiums. It was the sense of the meeting that the board of directors should provide for musical tlaining as soon as the financial arrangements of the district made it possible. 'I he evening was made very . pleasant by a musical program rendered by Culver K. Osgood, Hans lloerlein and the Misses Shrum. It was decided that the members of the organization should each be assessed a yearly due of 25 cents, to be paid to the treasurer, E. A. Cram. Another speaker of the evening was Erof. C. I). Thompson, who out lined the plans of the School Eair to be given here in September. MASSEE PREDICTS MANY COLONISTS. Frank A. Massee, who with Mrs. Massee and his son returned home Monday from a visit with relatives in Madison, Wis., declares that many col onists will pour into the West this Spring from the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. J he past winter, colder than it has ever been before. has been too much for them, and they are going to try the Northwest," said Mr. Massee. Scores of them are (lis posing of their property and will be ready to take advantage of the low colonist rates. However, many will wait until Summertime, when they will come out and look the different regions over in leisurely fashion. The greater portion of the colonists from these two states, 1 think, will come to Oregon.

It is reported that hucksters from Portland have canvased the Valley, purchasing cull and low grade fruits, which were placed in misbranded boxes in Portland and sold as fancy grades. It is said that in cases the names of fictitious orchard companies have been stamped on mixes in which the fruit was offered for sale.
