'I rout fishing was never lietter in the lower II I river than at the present. time. Tho fishing has heen bo poor for a number of years that fishermen had ahout censed to try for trout m ar the city. This season many tine baskets have heen taken with the My near the Mount Hood railroad bridge. Italians and other people frwm south ern Eurnpu w ho come to this country cause game wardens in all parts uf America ceaseless trouble. Tho for eigners seem to think they have a per fect right to kill name and often resist olliecra to ttic extent of liloodshed. And everything is game to the Italian ev erything that can lly from a grasshop per up. 'I he following story well illustrates the I Info's idt u of game : It hud heen reported that the Italians in a certain community of Pennsyl vania were violation the game laws. A w arden visited the camp. ( hie of the Italians was sick in hod. I'pon impiiry, his companion said he had heen hunting, "lie etta too mticha de ti i n chick." At the side of the cabin the warden found the head and feathers of a turkey buzzard. The chances are that when one takes a ride through the valley on the warm sprint; days that fare now pre vailing he will hear more crowing from the China pheasant cocks than from barnyard roosters. In the Udell and Summit districts the gay pluniagcd birds are numerous and may be seen lording it around in meadows, and even visit barnyards to usurp the position of the king chicken cock. Hancheis have discovered the nest of the pheasants in clover fields, while harvesting the crops, and the eggs placed under chicken hens have heen hutched and the little pheasants are now being raised by the domestic fowls. The little fellows soon become very tame and follow with tie Hock of little ehii kens as though they were really members of the family. J. II. Frediicy, one of the county's most persistent anil successful fisher men, was the victim of an accident last week. While rounding a narrow ledge several miles up the river, the rock mint to which he was clinging gave way and he whs plunged into h deep pool. The chilly water almost caused Mr. Fredriey nervous prostration, and fishing for the day was ended, lie walked back to the city presenting the appearance of a shriveled brownie.

Rogers, proprietor of the Mount Hood Lodge, has added a stable of saddle horses to his equipment for the pleasure of guests who may vis't his I pper Valley resort. Many tiails thread the side of Mount Hood near the lodge and horseback ruling will form an interesting diversion for those who are not able to participate in the more strenuous exercise of long hikes over the rough district. Mrs. William Ladd and son, Henry A. I. add, left Monday after having spent a week at tho Lodge. "1 have never enjoyed a week any more than that spent with Mr. Rogers," says Mr. Ladd. "1 have ridden all through the Canadian Uockies, but the trips in the vicinity of Mount Hood Lodge are better for the variety of scenery of ered. " Mr. and Mrs. W. V. tfurrell, son and daughter, of Portland spent Sunday at the Lodge. Highest Building West of Mississippi The highest building west of the Mississippi, a page view of which ap pears in the May Popular Mechanics Magazine, has just been completed m Seattle, Wash. The tower rises t.'.tl feet above street level, and is so con spicuous that it is already being used as a beacon by mariners in making their way on Puget Sound, and it is planned to have it illuminated at all hours of the night to make it available for this use night and dav. The build ing covers a lot that is 'ltlSxlL'O feet. The main structure is 21 stories high and to this the tower adds 12 stories! In addition to this there are two stories below street level. The height to the lanterri at the top of the tower is equivalent to 42 stories. The founda tion rests on 1,2Tli concrete piles driven to a depth of .Ml feet below the surface, la building the foundation 4.00(1 barrels of cement and more than tors of ateel were used. On the fourdation piles a total weight of 7(1,. M!0 gros tons will be carried, the steel for the super-structure alone weighing 4,7;i2 tons gross. MANY FOREST FIRES I Exhaudive inquiry has established the fact that lightning ranks next to railroads as a source ot forest fires. ! Forest officials say that the increasing care with hre on the pari oi railroad and tbe public generally tends to make lightning the largest tingle contribut ing cause. This statement represents a change of view from that held less than a de cade ago in this country, when forest journals gravely argued whether light ning caused for- st tires, though it was known that trees were the objects most often struck. Trees are said to be oftenest struck simply because they are so numerous, and extending up- ard they shorten the distance between the ground and the clouds ; further, their branches in the air and roots well into the earth invite electrical dis charges. While certain trees are said to invite lightning, and others to be immune from stroke, it stems to be a fact that any kind of tree will be struck, and the most numerous tree species in any locality is the one most likely to suffer. Other things being equal, lightning seeks the tallest tree, or an isolated tree, or one on high grounds. A deep rooted tree is a better conductor than a shallow-rooted m e, and a tree full of sap, or wet with rain, is of course a better conductor than a dry one. Lightning sets fires by igniting the tree itself, particularly when it is dead, or partly decayed and punky, or by igniting the dry humus or duff at its base. The fori -t soil, when dried out, ignites readily, because it is made of partly decayed twigs and leaves, and it can hold a smouldering lir for a consid erable period. It is probable that most of the lightning tires start in the duff. In the mountains of southern Cali fornia, Arizona and New Mexico there are likely to be each year a number of electrical disturbances known as "dry thunder storms." They como at the end of the long dry season, and being unaccompanied by rain are very likely to.start many serious fires. For this reason the forest service has to keep up its maximum tire fighting strength in those regions until the rains are fully established. In the plans and or ganization for lire fighting service aims particularly to catch these unprevent able lightning set fires at the time they start. Shower fur Miss Mulford What is tho matter with Hood River? Out of the 24 young ladies whom Mrs. C. I). Hinrichs entertained at her home last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Eva Mulford, four will be June brides, so look out for showers. This occasion was a miscellaneous shower for Miss Mulford. The parcels were put in a clothes basket, and as she took them out, she was asked to make a wish for the giver. This caused much merri ment. Mrs. Hinrichs had provided material fur dusters, and holders, and the girls made them. Each girl was also asked to write her favorite recipe in a little book prepared for the occasion. From a collectoin of small articles which are useful in housekeeping, such as a broom, kettle, dust cap, apron, tea towls, and many others, Mrs. S. W. Arnold made anil gave her a kitchen Uridget which carried this recommen dation: My name is just plain Uridget A'Dorn, 1 arrived in town this very morn. Was told if I a job would"git", I shure was down the hill to flit. And waiting there to welcome me Was one who soon a bride would be. Now, 1 can sweep, and dust and clean And do a little bit of everything. I can stew and bake and brew ; And there's the biscuit cutter, too. Here's the spoon the cake to make, And there's the pan the pie to bake. There's the potato masher new, And the giavy strainer, too. There's the suit fjox, to be handy ; And the dust pan, it's a dandy. Here's an apron you must don, A towel to dry the dishes on; 61 Hon am-i to make things neater, And Colby's sanitary egg beater. And a crumb brush, and a tray. Well ! 1 gin ss I've come to stay, For there's useful things too numerous to mention, .Of every size and dimension. After much frolic and fun, music and son, a dainty luncheon was served by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Mulford. Miss Mulford is well known in Hood River and is a great favorite. Mrs. Hinrichs is a charming hostess, who ilid every thing to give the girls a de lightful evening. Contributed. M Were ayb& Yoii me I Them Were You Ciieated into believing that because a baking pow der foamed up over the top of a glass when water was added, that it was a good, pure and strong baking powder? It foams because it contains ALBUMEN (some times called the white of egg.) ALBUMEN in baking powdeF is no help in the baking. II docs not make a stronger or better baking powder. It deceives the consumer when she sees it ioam in the glass. State after state has ruled that baking powder mixed with ALBUMEN is illegal and has stopped the sale of the stuff. United States Government authorities have de clared that the water glass test is a fraud, and that albumen docs not help the baking. Food commissioners North, South, East and West have denounced the albumen fraud. DO NOT LET FAKIRS FOOL YOU. The manufacturers of K C BAKING Powder have never found it necessary to resort to such fraudulent methods.

It was not swelled so much last Sunday as the Sunday previous, when he played in the Odell game, but is still slightly out of proportion. In a game at White Salmon several weeks ago, when the transportation club, of Portland, was played, Stock ton, who pitched for the local down town team last season, allowed only one hit. Four double plays were made in last Sunday's game here. Tate and Gill were the participants in two of them, in both cases Deveny and Gross being the victims. Tate took in the ground ers, stepped on the bag and pegged to first. They had a chance at another one on this combination, but didn't move fast enough. The third was from Thomas to Tate, to Gill and the fourth was made by Deveney alone, who made a long running catch of Baker's fly and then touched second, putting out Hall.

The local lads indicated by the exhibition last Friday that they have blossomed into champ calibre and will give The Dalles players a stiff game tomorrow. Crites was not at the park and Harry Woods, captain plenipotentiary, supplied head work for the team. The batting order for the day was a thing of beauty. Jones lead off, followed by Page and Hershner, and Uethman came along in the clean-up. Perry, McGuire and Johnsen, all good hitters, came up in 7, 8 and 9 places respectively. Four men on each team whitred. Dethman issued four passes while Ottestadt and Shields issued 8. The locals grabbed ten well bunched hits, while Stevenson was getting eight. The lineup was : S. II. S.

So far this season Dethman is the only lo cal athlete who has annexed a star in track. Cooper says he has one coming tomorrow if his ankle will stand the strain. Cooper will enter the track meet without having practiced any for three weeks and will probably not be able to make much of a showing. In tennis, Hershner, Laraway and Frances E.

The manual train ing department has proved successful in its first year. Next year, with the added enrollment from Barrett and any other districts that may decide to send their students to II. K. H. S., the quartets for that purpose will probably be too small. The pupils of the local school who passed the eighth grade examinations at the first attempt and will travel up into the high school atmosphere next September are: Miriam Flagler, Nella Hart, Frances Littlefield, Georgia Belle Lynn, Dorothy McLucas, Katherine M. Baker, Ruth Chase, Faith Dayton, Sarah Howes, Lois Jenison, Elda jack son, Margaret Morrison, Clarice No land, Mary Samuel, Gladys Wright, Mary Hawkes, Percy Bucklin, Reeve Claxton, Newton Clark, Solon Dobson, Roy Holman, Boyd Jenkins, Yale Mc Carty, Tracy ("lark, Lloyd King, Amos Loser, Oak Rogers, Edwin Sonnichsen, Harold Wilson, Malcolm Hebard, Dewey Zweigart.
