BOY SCOUTS RESCUE DROWNING COMPANION Forming themselves into a living chain, members of Hood River's troop of Boy Scouts last week rescued one of their companions from drowning in the slouRh north of the O.-W. K. & N. passenger station. Chester Buell was swimmig across the pool, when he was seen to flounder as attacked by ci amps. Rodger Simpson, seeing his distress, went at once to his aid. However, the struggles of the lad were too 1 much for him and Ronger was pulled under. On corning to the surface he called to the other boys to form a line and come out for them. This was quickly done, Edwin Sonnichsen and llaird Stone leading the life line. When they reached the shore with young Buell, he was unconscious. The boys, however, have been taught all the methods of "lirst aid to the in jured" toy Dr. E. D. Kanaga, who has given the Scouts many practical les sons, and they at once resuscitated him. The boys who made the rescue will be presented with medals by the head organization of the Scouts. PARTY IS IMPRESSED WITH ORCHARDS The machine in which he started to tour the valley having broken down last Friday. Professor Chas. H. Lane, the expert of the United States agri cultural department, who is touring the state in the interest of the indus trial and agricultural school fairs, kit the community without having seen the district. However, when he ar rived in Portland and announced the ttory of the mishap, he was forthwith husteld back Sunday and accompanied bv a party of men enthusiastic about the community. The tour was "personally conduct ed." O. M. Plummer, the practical education candidate for Portland school director, waa in charge. He had as guests Professor Lane, L. A. Brown, James J. Sayer, Marshall N. Dana, wife and little daughter, Marjone. Guided iy President C. N. Clarke and Vice President W. L. Clark, of the I Hood River Commercial club the party , was taken for an automobile tour of the valley that required all of the af ternoon. First came a run to Prospect Point, whence may be seen the cascading' river far below and the valley as it opens oui toward the south. To the west is Mount Dt fiance, the highest wooded point in the United States. The run over excellent roads took the party past the homes of the many Portland people who are raising ap ples in Hood River. A pause for a moment on the bridge to admire the tumbling river , then a laborious climb up 'luckcr's Hill and a puhV.g ascent of Van Horn's Butte. Here was found the great view of Hood River. Mount Hood on the south and Mount Adams on the north, with high ridges east and west seemed to wail in the valley where the orchards perfectly tended were just beginning to lose their bloom. The tour of the valley was completed by going down the east side and hear ing a discussion as to the relative mer its of the east and west sides, there being quite a ' competition between them. - It was found that Hood River people were growing more strawberries this year than ever before. There are some 4oO acres in newly planted orchards. The apple bloom, which a week before had been barely visible, had been brought out and nearly retired bv the warm days that followed the visit of the Press club to Hood River a week ago Sunday. Professor Lane left Monday morning for a lecture tour of Willamette valley towns which will take him to Oregon City, Roseburg, Salem, McMinnvillc, Corvalils, Albany, Eugene, Grants Pass iwedlord and Ashland. union iooNlo" INCREASE BUILDINGS Tho ti.itirfl i1 A',..t r II I . .... ...Hiv. uiivi luin ,n mc: uuuu River Apple Growers' Union are very mlll'h urutiiieil with tha strung a,m,it n ......

P. I loll', state lul. or commissioner) the Pacific Power & Light Co., in complying with the state law, regHrding the construction of transmission and distribution lines, and also the city ordinance No. 358 regu lating the construction and mainten ance of power and lighting lines in the city of flood River, both ot which law were enacted tiy the people, 'respec tively' of the state of Oregon and the city of Hood River, to put all electrical lines in a safe condition for life ar.d property; and we also regret the inac tion of the state, through the state 'a bor commissioner, and the city through the city officials, and the county, through the county officials. "We do not consider the statement of the company in charge of said lines (that another company is the real owner) makes the lines any more safe or that said statement is any excuse for such indefinite delay on any one's part ; that is, on the part of the com pany's, the state ollicials, the city offi cial a or the county ollicials, and we hereby most respectfully request the state labor commissioner to take im mediate steps to enforce a legal and safe construction of all power and tele phone lines in Hood River city and county, and also request the city olli cials of Hood River city to take im mediate steps to enforce safe construc tion of power and telephone lines in the city of Hood River in accordance with ordinance No. 3.r3 regulating the same. We feel that unless they do they are dilatory in their duties." "Ibis resolution passed unanimously and a copy ordered sent to Mr. O. P. Hoff and one to city council and one to county court, and also one to Hood River Glacier to be printed. "E. J. Holman, President."
