r.ers
local club, who
With their husbands', the hundred
members of the local Woman's club
assembled Monday night at the rooms
of the Commercial club to meet the
delegates from tirgamztioi s through
out the state, who had arrived here
during the day for the annual conven
tion of the State Federation. A heavy
rain storm prevailed throughout the
afternoon and the evening, but the lo
cal committees braved the weather and
greeted their guests as they arrived at
the station here and were whiilid
away to the homes of the club mem
bers and other citizens of the city,
where they have been entertained dur
ing their four-day stay. Working in
the day's downpour until after seven
o'clock linemen stretched wires nr.d
strung hundreds of bulbs through the
business streets of the city in honor of
the visiting women. And by the time
the crowd was beginning to assemble
at the club rooms, the cheerful glow of
the illumination was ready to light
them on their way. The wiring of the
streets was the donation cf the local
Merchants' Association, while the elec
trical energy was given by the two
local electric light companies; the Hydro-
Electric Co. and the Hood River
Gas & Electric Co.
It was an impressive assemblage at
the rooms of the club. The earlier part
of the evening war; given to the intro
duction of the delegates to the ullicers
of the State Federation and to the olli-
nd committee members of the
tood in the receiving
line, 'lhe meeting was called to order
by Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, president of
the federation. Kev. VV. IS. Young,
pastor of Asbury Methodist church
pronounced an invocation, and Mayor
E. O. Ulanchar extended to the women
a welcome from the city.
"'We are proud to welcome you dele
gates from Oregon's Woman's clubs,"
said Mr. Ulanchar. Ve are proud of
our local organization and the work
they have accomplished. We note the
attitude they have tuken in civic im
provement, and we appeal to you to
enter into tha movement that we have
started toward better roads."
"Good Roads" became in a way a
slogan of the evciiiQ, and addresses
that followed touched upon the impetus
that efforts of the women might lend
to the movement that has been set un
der way. ,
Mrs. Chas. H. Castner, president of
the local club, extended the greetings
of the organization. "Wo would like
for the weather to better and for
the town to be more en tha 4ee bt
we are going to do our best to make
our hospitality felt among vou visitor?.
f jr will spare no elTyt to make you
camionaoie, so mat you win always
r member j";ith pleasure your sojourn
among us. o
The chief address of the evening wiis"
delivered by Mrs. Abigail ScotfoiJum
way, who was introduced by Mrs ..Evas
as "lhe Mother of Oregon." Mrs.
puniway'Xiddress was of a retrospeSi
ive nature. "I believe in immortal
ity," she said, "as do all those of
whom I am going to speak, and I do
not feel it amiBS to refer in a murtuury
way to the noble women who have risen
to their goals and have passed on ahead
into the mystic beyond." Mrs. Duni
way paid a great tribute to the late
Mrs. E. L. Smith, of this city, "be
loved by all who knew her," who took
an active part in the affairs of the
women of her state fiK'ring her lifetime.
Mrs. Duniway saiYm purt:
"It is most appropriate that this
meeting of our Slate federation should
convene in this world renowned young
city of Hood River, the hc-jje of our
ate co-worker, Mrs. h. t,. bmitn.
Mrs. Smith identified herself at Unit
tijne with the eiual suffrage movement
n jiympia in Jtwi as a co-v oruer wun
Mrs. Abbey H. II. Stuart and myself,
beginning an intimacy that never
ceased, though I, as the eldest of the
trio, am today the only earthly survivor.
Of Mrs. Stuart, mother of woman's
clubs in the Pacific northwest, whose
too early decease cu,Nshort her hope of
soeing the- enfranchisement of women
in Oregon and Washington, I am proud
to say that tha woman's club move
ment we now celebrate was her inspiration.
1 met with Mrs. Stuart at the home
of Mrs. Clara E. Sylvester in Olympia.
Mrs. Sylvester, if I remember right
ly, did not at once embrace the plan
for a woman's club as outlined by Mrs.
Stuart.
'For prudential reasons I, as a load
ing suffragist, stayed away from the
preliminary meeting with Mrs. Stuiirt,
in Portland, held at the home of the
late Mrs. W. W. Spalding; but 1 risked
attending the first open meeting, at the
Hotel Portland, where 1 had the honor
to demand the permanent formation of
the women b club movement on the
basis orignated by Mrs. Stuart, and
was the first woman in Oregon to sug
gest the creation of the State Federa
tion of Women's clubs, which 1 did nt
that meeting.
After the death or Mrs. smith the
next great loss to the Woman s club
movement was Mrs. Myrtle Pease Hat
field, of the Forest Grove Woman's
club."
Mrs. E. E. Gore, of Med ford, re
sponded for the federation women of
the state. An orchestra, composed of
Will Chandler, E. A. Kinceid and Hans
lloerlein, furnished music throughout
the evening, and Mrs. Ralph Hoot, ac
companied by Mr. Hoot and Mrs. Clar
ence E. Coffin, rendered a number of
solos.
The rooms of the club were beauti
fully decorated in autumn leaves and
cut flowers. Miss Hilma Imholz, Miss
Lillian Brock, Mrs. Hermann O.Kresse
and Mrs. Robert Perigo served a fruit
punch throughout the evening.
With a brilliant sunshine, the day
all the brighter after Monday's storm,
the delegates to the convention regis
tered Tuesday morning at the Congre
agtional church and began their busi
ness session. The morning was devoted
to reports of chairmen ot committees.
The leading feature of the day's ses
sion was the "Made in Oregon". dinner
at the Odd Fellows hall, given by the
women of the Unitarian church. The
foods were furnished for the most part
by the members of the Manufacturers'
A .-oration, and Mrs. Edyth Tozier
Weatherred, representing the associa
tion, w9 'toa.ttmistress. Mrs, Sarah
A. Evans was chairman of the meet
ing. lie fore introducing the first partici
pant on the program, Mrs. Weatherred
told of the aim of the Manufacturers'
Association. "It is our purpose to
educate the people of the state of Ore
gon end teach them how to buy at
home. We all should patronize our
home Industries; for local patronage is
local patriotism."
The Mrong sentiment of the members
of the Woman's clubs of the state for
better roads and a greater State Uni
versity, was expressed by Mrs. Weath
ererd and others, who responded to
toasts. The chief addresses at the
bamiuet were those delivered by Mrs.
Ida M. Milliken, of Prineville, and Mrs.
Abagail Scott Duniway. Mrs. Duniway
responded to the toast, "Better Roads
for Oregon."
"V hen I louked at the menu," said
Mrs. Duniway, "I was reminded of the
old Oregon Trail, when we traveled
for days shoe-mouth deep in the dust
and with trees tied to the ends of our
w agons as we dropped down some pre
cipitous place to hold back the burden
trom our over worked oxen. And then
I hoped some day to see as a watch
word of the women of Oregon, 'Better
l.OHllS.
"When I used to talk to create an
interest of women for good roads, they
asked me, 'Do you want the women to
work the roads?' Why, bless your
heart, the women can work for the
roads, by legislation, by their banquets
and by their love for good roads.
"Good Roads and the state Univer
sity have been two of my hobbies, and
1 hope you women take such an inter
est in the University that you will be
able to vote, play, work and do every
thing in your power to better it."
Mrs. Ida M. Milliken, of Prineville,
responded to, "The Heart of Oregon."
She represented the most recently affil
iated club. "We call our country the

tral Oregon booster and told of the op
portunities Cor the newcomer in the

endeavors of the citizens there to in
crease the raising of livestock, and bow
their work was already felt by the
Portlund meat packing companies, who
already found it unnecessary to send to
the middle west foi their hogs and cat
tle. Mrs. Chas. 11. Caatner, who respond
ed to the toast, "Neath the Mountain,"
told the visiting women that ut present
Hood River was shipping in a great
deal of its milk and cream. "Hut the
time is coming, " she said, "when we
will have more of those products grown
here at home. We will have our own
cerameries and make our own cheese."
Miss Ruth Heed, of the Jefferson
Civic club, sang "Love's Old Sweet
Song." "Miss Reed," said Mrs.Weath
erred, in introducing her, "is a home
girl, with a home sweet voice."

accompanied by Mrs. T. N. Kennedy,
of Woodburn.
If the action of the women of the
convention Tuesday afternooncand their
expressions of sentiment may be taken
as a criterion, the death Knell .was
sounded fnr the referendum againsiPthe
appropriation bill for the University of
Oregon. An ovation was given Miss
Catherine Carson, of Salem, and Miss
Eleanor McClame, of Sliverton, stu
dents of the University, who though
iiotdelegBtes to the covention, came to
represent the women of the University.
"We come to tell you of how we, the
students; of the University, feel about
the referendum," said Miss McCluine,
"and to appeal to your pride as repre
sentative women of the state of Oregon
to lend us your aid."
"We leel that we have been slight
ed, said Miss Carson. "Washington's
legislature appropriated the sum of
$ iimi,()(iu for their institution of higher
education, and their voters realized the
need of such an expenditure, while a
cry is miscd against the use of the
comparatively small sum of $175,000 at
mir home Univeristy, where additions
are so greutly needed. No one knows
this need as do we students. We ap
peal to yuu women to return to your
respective homes and lend us your as
sistance by conducting campaigns (to
inform the voters of the state."
After an address by Milton Miller,
who told of the great needs of the Uni
versify for new builditigs, the number
of st udents having increased to such an
extent until at the present time there
is scarcely a room that is not used by
more than one instructor, some of the
instructors having no regular rooms of
their own, the convention of women
adopted a resolution denouncing the
referendum against the appropriations.
Becuuse of this action there was a
feeling cf satisfaction among the dele
gates as thev left the Congregational
church late in the afternoon, atfer their
day s work. We feel that we have
accomplished a noteworthy task," says
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, "and that the
women of the state's different organiz
ations will return to their respective
communities and start to work for a
greater UiivenrAtv.
Prof. W. F. Ogburn.of Reed College,
was unable to be present at the civic
discussions of the club Tuesday after
noon. However, his illustrated paper
on "City Planning" was read by his
assistant, Harry Wemberg. All pnases
of civic problems were taken up at the
civic conference, over which Mrs.
Chas. II. Cattner, chairman of the
state civic committee, presided.
Tuesday afternoon s work closed witn
a report uf Mrs. Frederick Eggert, of
Poi Hand, chairman of the board of
trustees of the Scholarship Loan fnud.
"During the past six years we have
exnended the sum of $1900." Bhe said,
"in aiding girls and young women of
the state in securing better educations,
Last vear our efforts have given 17
young ladies the privileges of higher
institutions of learning. We feel proud
of our advancement. During the past
year 18 new clubs have been affiliated
with the State Federation, and all of
them have given liberally toward our
Scholarshin fund."
President s night was observed lues-
day evening, the time having been de
voted to a musical program renaerea
by Mrs. Louis A. Henderson, Mrs. E.
1). Kanaga, Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller,
Mrs. Elfreida Heller Weinstein and
Otto T. Wedemever, to the address of
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, state president,
who summed up the progress made and
congratulated the women on their co
operative efforts, and to reports from
delegates.

Coiitinued ou Page 8)
Located on the old home place of E.
I. Smith, a tract of 40 acres of which
was purchased by Mr. Frana five years
ago, Bruno Franz has one of the moat
productive truck gardens in the state
of Oregon. Mr. Frant, by the produc
tion of his sweet, crisp celery bas made
that product aa famous in a limited
way as the Hood River apple is in the
world market. In the springtime the
Portland housewife calls for the cele
brated Koberg asparagus and when
autumn conies on, she will have noth
ing else than the Hood River grown
celery.
But celery alone is Dot grown by Mr.
Franz. He has tracts of tomatoes and
I sweet peppers, and thin jear set out a
small plot in asparagus. I will con
tinue to plant the latter," he asys,
"until 1 have a substantial amount of
this product.
Of his 40 acre tract Mr. Franz now
has seven acrea in cultivation. "1 keep
three men going the year rouud," he
says. From the balf acre plaated in
the big sweet peppers, he harvests a
ton each wetv
"I will get ten tons from the pepper
field," he says. "I supply all the Hood
River city and valley stores and ship
all the remainder to Portland." The
peppers are packed in strawberry
crates, 20 pounds net to the crate. The
half acre of peppers will net Mr. Franz
the sum of $600 this year.
It is worth a man's time to visit Mr.
Franz's acre of celery where the 65,000
bunches of the deep green plant rear
themselves to the height of 18 inches,
and so closely together are the leaves
that the earth is entirely obscured.
A half of the acre is planted in drills
very close together; so close that the
light will be kept out by the leaves
themselves, and the stalks will soon
begin to blanch. In the other half of
the field the drills are set more than a
foot apart and the blanching process
will be hastened by broad planks,
which encase the stalks. The celery
patch will net the owner $2,000. The
celery is sold locally by Mr. Franz for
80 cents per dozen bunches, while he
gets 65 cents per dozen foor his large
shipment to Portland.
From his experience with this aro
matic plant, that fills the atmosphere
around the fields where it growa with
spicy odor, Mr. Franz has found that
Golden Self Blanching does best in the
Hood River climate.
The celery Is already fine, but In a
tew weeks, after the first frosts have
fallen, it will become crisper and will
aettuite- tbatiat flvom-ilnUh '
Hood River product has become re
nowned. "A dry freeze does not hurt
celery, says Mr. Franc.
Durtog the past summer Mr. Franz
bas been selling four tons of tomatoes
week and he expects to harvest 25
tons from his acre tomato tract. He
raises poultry and pigs. "Sometimes I
have as many as 100 pigs," he says,
and I alwaya find a ready market lor
them."
Mr. Frana has an Ideal truck farm. -
The remainder of his 40 acres is de
voted to hay and grazing. He has all
the water needed for his vegetables
and a plenty to spare. The community
surrounding hia place shows great
promise for such industries as have
been proven a success by his ventures.
Water is cheap and abundant, and the
soil a deep, rich black loam.
"1 started in a very small way rive
years ago, ana prospects loonea iar
away as 1 tackled the rocks and trees
and began my clearing, but if a man
works hard enough, he can reach his
goals," says Mr. Franz.
On the place are a number of ideal
building sites overlooking the Colum
bia. On one of these Mr. Franz is
planning to erect a handsome bunga
low home. '

NEW FiRE BELL
SOUNDS WARNING
The new fire bell sounded its first
warning last Thursday night, when the
home of W. II. Lakin, on the Heights,
was discovered in flames. Not seeing
any sign ol a nre many mougni mat
the new automatic alarm naa jusi oecu

started presumably from a wood box in
the back yard. However, since the fire
suspicion has been aroused from a
number of petty thefts in the neighbor
hood, that the house may have been set
by those who piannea me roooenes.
Cloths saturated with kerosene have
