HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 113 COWS PROFITABLE, BUT WARNING GIVEN "Cows are profitable," My B. R. MtctiUr. of Trout Uk. who was for mttj the owner of n orchard in tb Odeli district, "but I would warn the man who Diana a dainr to bo slowly. H should be sura that ha la going to have tha proper place to keep hia cowa and that ha will not have to buy too much of bia feed. Whenever a dairy man begins buying hia hay and grain for his cowa h finds that he baa got in them a luxury." Last spring Mr. Richter sent to Illi nois and purchased a herd of 20 regis tered Holateina. The cows were sup posed to bava arrived fresh and ready to produce an income, "instead, aays Mr. Richter. "the animals had evi dently been underfed and arrived in Waahintgon in a lifeless condition. I assure you that I was very much dis couraged. With about $3000 of my money tied up in the unproductive ani mals. I waa feeline blue. However. I bad a good rich field of vetch, and this feed given to the animals brought them ud to a robust state in hve months, and mr cows are now return' ing about $9 each per month. Our dairies always pay on the fifteenth of tha month and 1 assure you mai me good, big checks are very gratifying." Mr. Ricther urges those who are con templating the purchase of cows to be aura and have them aelected by honest experts, else, he declares, they have an experience similar to his own. S1NN0T AIDS LN 1N TERESTING CHILDREN The Bureau of Education is striving to enlist the school children of the na tion in the good rosds movement by advocating a "Good Roads Arbor Day." To thia end they have issued an illustrated pamphlet telling about tha movement for good roads snd offer ing suggestions for the celebration of the new Arbor Day. Extracts from famous poems on treed snd roads are presented in form suitable for school recitatons. A plan ia also outlined for the organ isation of the school children in a Jun ior Highway Improvement League, for the purpose of arousing the community to furnish better roada and paths for school children. Among the duties urged upon school children are to re move stones from the road, report bad places to their tescher, feed birds around the school in winter,straighten young trees blown over by the wind, ari.1 talk about roads to older people. The edition of this bulletin No. 636 is limited, but Representative Sinnott succeeded in getting enough of them to supply esch county superintendent in bis district, and is sending them out this week. MEMBERS OF COURT CARNIVAL DRAWS LARGE CROWDS The street carnival here last week draw large crowds from all parts of the valley and many people from neighboring cities. The largest crowd was in town on Saturday afternoon, and the greater portiog of the people remained over Saturday nieht and Par ticipated In the atreet dancing and other festivities of the evening. While all of the shows were amusing and Interesting to tha youngsters, the only attraction of any real merit, aside from the glass blowers' exhibit, was that of the magician. Lazern, who performed the mystic feats, made his show doubly interesting by exposing soma of hionBtunta, thus showing how very simple they were. The merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel were popular with old folks, young folks, fat and lean citizens. On Saturday night those streets ued by the tenf of the ahowfolk and the concessionary stands were roped oil and no traffic was allowed over them. Tha herd clean surface of the streets formed an excellent floor tor the shows. WAGGENER SAYS . COLORING WONDERFUL - James Waggoner, Jr., who spent Sunday visiting various parts of the valley, declarea that he never saw the region more beautiful. Sunduy was one of the best days.more brilliant am, with a more genial atmosphere, that . has been enjoyed this fall. "I first took a picture of Mount Hood from the summit of the Kant Side grade at the entrance to the Max welton orchards," says Mr. Waggener. "I then dro6) to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Van Horn, enjoying the lovely acenery from that point and se curing some photographs of orchards and mountain scenes. Mr. Waggener visited Willow Flat orchards and returned to the city by way of the Epping place, where he se cured some harvesting pictures. "I have never in my life seen more beautiful cHoring than that on the hill sides at the present time," hays the photographer. LAST DAYS OF REG ISTRATION HEAVY The last few days of registration were very heavy, and County Clerk Hanson and Deputy Clerk Shoemaker were kept very busy. "We have re ceived enough registrations from dep uty registrars in the county to br)g the total number up to 656," said Mr. Shoemaker yesterday. The women who desire to cant their ballots at the coming election flocked to the courthf je Friday and Saturday. Mrs. Louis A. Henderson and Mrs. E. R. Moller met all newly registered cit isena on the steps of the court house and urged them to cast their votes for tha University oV Oregon appropria tiona and to aid in defeating the refer endum against the bills of the legiala ture. Frankton Students Organize The students of Frankton high school organised last week, electing Neal Nunnamker president of the student body, Beth Copper "vice president and Elmer Anderson secretary-treasurer A game of baslret ball will be played with Barrett 1' nday. To the Tax Payers of Hood River County: Owing to the misrepresenta tion that ia being spread throughout the county in regard to the administra tion of the county court in connection with the recall election, we believe it necessary to place before the public a few facta. We will ssy at the start that the eounty court has no apologies to make for its official acts. These have been within the province of the law, along lines of progress and consistent with proper, public economy. Therefore, our sdministration, we believe, should be judged as a whole rather than from one or two Specific acts which are in themselves more or less insignificsnt. As a matter of fact, the charges brought by our opponents are of the most trivial nsture as anyone who will take the trouble to peruse one of the recall petitions will observe. Hsd we been willing to diHpense with the ser vices of Mr. Marshall as road supervis or ikM oinulrf really have been no re call. This in itself ought to convince. every fair minded person that tne re call is really more a measure of spite and prejudice, rather than a movement for the good of the county. We are satisfied, from a perusal of the names on these recall petitions, that a great many of the signers have been mislead as to the facts, and that they will be unwilling to lend further aid to a move ment that is uncalled for, unujst and harmful to the best interests of the county, when they know them. It is always essler to criticise than it is to be correct and far easier still, to con duct the other fellow's job from the curbstone or a rocking chBir than from the post of authority. The main objec tions to the administration of the pres ent jcoufety court are. as specified in the petitions filed for recall election : The employment of Mr. Marshall as road master; the alleged expending unnecessarily of heavy sums of money for road oiling; paying unitemized claims against tl county and improp erly constructing a bridge across the Hood river near winnns Biaiion. Taking up the first item. Mr. Mar- ahull was emu oved because he was considered as competent a man for this position as could be secured, ins sai ary.was fixed at J5 per d$y and $2.50 per day for his automobile, and not $7.50, as stated in the preamble to the petition. The court had no knowledge that he would be unacceptable to any particular number of citizens and, as has been said, emplojed him because they thought he was fully competent. The objection in the petition that Mr. Marshall received something like $550 for his services for fle months is, we think, a very trivial one indeed. As a matter of fact, this compensation would give Mr. Marshall aBout nu a moftth, a sum.we believe, that will not appear to any fair minded tax payer as extravagant for services of this cnar- acter. In regard to the money spent for oil ing roads, we will say that this cost the county about $250 a milo. This amount is the sum that has been paid in other counties in the state and a far less amount than is cheerfully approri atped every year for maintaining simi Inr highways in Multnomah county. r'nrthormnra. the court has been com mended by many of the tax payers in tho pnnntv for the thorough manner in which the roads have been tilled this season. Tha am nil matter of romulaint in re gard to a few bills that were found nnitnmiKud bv the erand jury was nrnmnMi taken rare of 8S Boon as this matter was brought to the attention of the court, and no bills have since oeen paid except those that were itemized, The bridge over the Hood river at Winans, wnlch seems to be a great l.mifi of contention with the recallers, has been arosnlv misrepresented. In the first pluce, the court properly ad vertised for bids for the construction of the bridge; let the contract to the lowest bidder, who gave a bona, ana what was considered a competent man was employed to superintend its con struction. On the report of this man the bridue as accepted. The uhoto graphs emulated in order to arouse the ire ot the taxpayers in opposition 10 the county court are what might be called especially posed. It has been stated bv several engineers and others familiar with bridge contsruction that the bridge is safe beyond all question and that the piers so miGh criticised are verv likely to'be in place long af ter most of the present (population of Hood Kiver has passed away It has been stated by thnse who ap A parently have not any too much regard 1UI UIO tlUUI, liiab iiiu luuiii; buuik lino spent sorft $15.0(10 on the county roads this year, for which it has nothing to show. The entire expenditure of the court for roads up to October 1 was sa8.298.28. This includes all materials road oiling, salary ot the road master, and the cost of the new" bridge over which there is so much dissension, lhe amount actually spent for labor on the county roads was $18,039.71. When i s taKen into consideration that there are SHU miles oi punnc nignways in Hood River couoty, it will easily be seen that this is lar trom an extrava gant expenditure. Notwithstanding this Hood Kiver county s roads hav been kept in as good condition, or bet ter perhaps, this year than at any time in its hiBlory. We wish to call attention to the lac that when the present county court took over the administration of the county's affairs it was $32,OOo in debt. Eight thousand dollars of this amount waa paid off last year, and the officers of the court expect to commence the new year with the county's indebted ness wiped out. This, we believe, de nies most emphatically the statement by the opposition that we have been "unwise, careless and extravagant.' Therefore, we feel justified in asking Hood River county from the beginning. There is another kind of beautv found in Oregon. The undulating land. A stretch of level and then a hill that you can easily climb on tha "high" and then coast down on the other aide to another stretch of level, and then a mile and then another easy sloping hill: mile after mile at the rate of 25 and 30 milesfper hour from daylight to dark over roads that supervisors have never dared to mar, once in awhile fol lowing the section lines, but not often; easy graceful curves to fool the dust. If you get off the road head through the sage brush anywhere, any direc tion, to find the lost road. Sage brush to right, sage brush to left, sage bush before. Jack rabbits galore. Sage brush behind, Jack rabbits so kind. The crossing of Crooked river ia of especial interest. The perpendicular basalt formation on either side over which you can throw a stone from bank to bank. The little river at the base more than 300 feet below ; the Crooked river bridge 210 feet long and 320 feet high; the wonderful castles silhouetted t-t TTT TTT3 TTir I W sainst the red western sky we passed iimt at sunset. we estimated mat one oi wiene uuk niles was one mile long and one thou sand feet high, built up not amongst the mountains, but on the open coun try. Crooked river runs throuh the level country. The desert between bend and Burns beinir homesteaded and improved in many places, which shows what can be done by dry farming. Usually water is found at depths varying irom eigni to 20 feet. Along the whole course you will meet autos, auto trucks and heavy ireignt ers. The lart mentioned with from ight to 12 horses with three or four trail wagons. We were told at "The Half Wav House." (Brt&kings) during the months of June and July 720 guests registered at the hotel, not counting the etaee drivers. Our first intimation of approaching Hums was on a circular drive between the hills, when there lay spread out be fore us a valley 30 milea wide and 80 miles long, level as a tabic, the beauti ful Harney valley with thousands of cattle grazing in the fields. We esti mated there were 1000 in the first field we passed. Our destination was "The Narrows" 28 miles from Burns and directly across the valley at the junction of Harney and Malheur lakes. Burns is in a little world of its own and in a measure hemmed in from the outside world. The people of Burns are contented and prosperous. It is not a seedy town. We were informed there is no one destitute. The citizens are generous and ready to help anyone who comes there in need. The town has an air of thrift. It may seem stranee, but we were told there are In tellieent men and women who live there who have never seen a railroad. Some of them CO years old. The post mistress, a well educated young lady. has never seen a railroad train. They have all they need at home and'are satisfied. The lakes are shallow and only a small portion of them open. The greater part is covered with tules. The ducks know the reservation lines bet' ter than jpu do and if they are real tame when they alight in a pond you had better not shoot. The farmers are obliging and ready to assist you in avine a good time. The road book will direct you at every, turn and you had better follow us Instructions, We spent one day in the goose country grain fields, and should have civen this place more time to And the flyways. One ttock oi geese came over ' us and with three shots "we" brought down three geese, and then we apsed into a comatose state with two more loads in "our" gun. Dr. Scobee, Mr. Keir and Mr. Hahn. who werateye witnesses to the tragedy "fell dead." The combined weight resulting from the slaughter was 28 pounds, not counting Dr. Scobee, Mr. Keir and Mr. Hahn. Anothei nock leu the grain field and passed over two nimrods and we thought that not one goose would escape, ut they were unaisturpea ana with an occasional honk disappeared over the bluff. The hunters who stood thiT Hcpminulv readv for the onoor unity said the'geese passed6 so close thev could see their eyes. .Both hunt ers tea tilled under oath that tne guns were out of commission, relt relieved to learn the real cause, for we were fearful that it might be a slight stroke of paralvsis. Will not give names, for there are were a few incidents we all promised to forget. FREE! FREE!
