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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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
