its no use for a poor man to try."
Then the wise old man said to him: "Nine out of ten rich
men started poor. They worked hard. They saved and kejit -their
earnings in a reliable bank. They have by skill, industry
and economy earned a right to souse of the good things of this

ROAD BONDS
VERBAL PROMISE IS FULFILLED
The $73,000 Issue Taken for Par and
Accrued Interest -Ipper Val
ley Citizens Organize
Although it was not contained in his
guarantee to the people of Hood River
county and the Hood Kiver county
court to stand all the expense of con
structing the Hood Kiver county por
tion of the Columbia highway between
Viento and the Multnomah countv line
over and above sum of $75,000 voted by
the county, is. Hen son Monday fulfilled
his verbal agreement to buy the bonds
in case the court received no other sat
isfactory bid. Two other bids from
eastern bond brokers were received,
but were invalid, not being accompa
nied by the required certified checks
for five per cent of the bond issue, and
Mr. Benson's bid of par and accrued
interest was accepted. Mr. lienson was
present at the session of the county
court when the bida were opened, ac
companied by his attorney, E. E. Coo
vert, State Highway Engineer BowlLy
and Right of Way Agent G. H. Rich
ardson. Although the bids were opened
shortly after 10 o'clock no award was
made until the afternoon, the county
court desiring time to deliberate over
the right of way contract with the ().
W. R. & N. Co.
The bids of contractors on the con
struction work will be received Wed
nesday, August 2i. "We should be
ready to begin work on the Hood River
portion of the highway by Septcmler
1," said Major Rowlby Monday after
noon. Numerous Hood River citizens were
at the train when Mr. Benson, Mr.
Coovert and the state officials left.
Everyone expressed a feeling of elation
and gratitude.
"Mr. Henson is a man of his word,"
said Mr. Coovert. "He said he would
take the bonds and he has done so. If
any flaws are found in the proceedings
leading up to the advertisement and
sale, and readvertisement is necesasiy,
he will be ready again with the same
bid."
While some portions of the right of
way with private individuals were not
complete Monday, the acquisition of
them was a mere formality, and the
ollicials declared that everything was
in readinesB for the bids of contractors
and actual construction work.
Upper Valley Organizes
At a meeting in Parkdale Saturday
night, according to J. R. Barroll, who
was in the city Monday, about 40 of
the citizens of the Upper Valley organ
ized the Upper Valley Good Roads club,
electing Chas. Stcinhauser chairman
and Mr. liarroll secretary.
"The idea of the organization," said
Mr. liarroll, "is to get some action on
one or two trunk linea into the Upper
Valley. It is our purpose to go about
the matter systematically and without
the interjection of any personalities,
ihe sentiment expressed Saturday
night was that the trunk line should be
built and a bond issue voted for the
purpose. But first we want the county
court to have some competent engineer
make a 6iirvey and designate the route
most convenient to the most people and
the most economic, and to estimate the
cost of the highway.
I'ctitions to the county court asking
such action will be circulated hy the
following citizens, the Upper Valley
having been divided into seven dis
tricts: Geo. Monroe, Valley Crest; M.
0. Boe, west of Evans creek; J. F.
Thompson, Parkdale; J. R. H Hrrol 1,
east of Evans creek; E. C. Miller,
Mount Hood; Ralph Root, Middle Val
ley; and A. R. Nickels, Dee.

TUESDADIES'DAY
IN HOOD RIVER
War news, the usual dailv tonic for
the past several weeks, waa .forgotten
Tuesday when the Pendleton Exoress.
of the O.-W. R. & N. Co., drawing a
special car crowded with 55 children
from the Boys' & Girls' Aid Socictv
home in Portland, arrived. Tuesday
was "Kiddies Day." and Hood Kiver
men and women vied with each other
in their efforts to make it red Utter
day in the lives of the children from
the charitable institution. The little
visitors were hurried to a train of wait
ing automobiles and were whisked
through the orchards of the valley to
the ranch place of Leslie Butler, where
they spent the day romping over the
green lawns and beneath the apple
trees. A feast of delicacies, such as
children love, were provided by local
women, and the youngsters were given
their capacity quantities of fruit fresh
from the trees. With yells of delight
and thanks for the hospitality extend
ed them, they left for the city in the
evening.
It has indeed been an enjoyable day
for us," said Superintendent Kilpack,
who was accompanied bv his familv.
"For the children and those connected
with the home, we desire to exuress
our heartiest thanks for the pleasures
tne iiood Kiver people nave afforded
us, and especially Mr. Butler, who
turned over his ranch to us for the
day."
those furnishing automobiles to
transport the visitors were Leslie But
ler, h. O. Blanchar, P. S. Davidson,
H. M. Holbrooke. Fred Howe. J. W.
lngalls. Miss Wilma Thomson. MiBS
Helen Davidson and the Columbia Auto
& Machine Co.
The only happening to mar the pleas
ures of the picnic was the loss of two
of the boys, Archie Carlson and Ronald
Simpson. The boys, however, were
found late in the afternoon. Mr. But
ler had returned to his farm to bring in
some of the ladies who had been help
ing entertain the youngsters. As they
were crossing the Indian Creek bridge
on the return to the city they passed
the two youngsters trudging in. "We
got lost,'' they said. They were sent
hack to Portland on a later train, ac
companied by J. P. Lucas, who waa
going to Portland on business.
PORTLAND BOARD MAY
RESTORE RESERVE
that the Portland water board is
willing to make all efforts within
reason to aid Hood River in securing
changes in the boundaries of tho Bull
Rung reserve, is the assertion of local
citiezns who have recently been instru
mental in having a survey made by K.
A. Mct.ianathan for the purpose of
having a portion of the Bull Run re
serve, on the Hood River watershed
around Lost Lake, restored to the na
tional reserve. The work of effecting
this change was recently undertaken
by Judge Derby and W. L. Clark. N.
C. Evans, who now resides in Portland,
also placed the facts before the Port
land board, the members of which, as
soon as they understood the situation,
evidenced a willingness to cooperate
with the local men.
Judge Derby and Mr. Clark returned
last week from a 10-day camping and
fishing trip in the region on the head
waters of the West Fork. E. A.Tay
lor, for the Portland water board, vis
ited the district while they were there
and checked up on the survey of Mr.
McClanathan. At the present tune
the southwest bank of Lost Lake is in
cluded in the Bull Run reserve. The
proposed change will free thia and will
give the local people the privilege of
using the government trail from Cedar
Springs as far as the point where it
crosses Clear Fork of the West Fork:
HOOD RIVER CIDER
NOW IN THE MOVIES
Hood River apple cider is now being
advertised in the film drama and it is
very probable that the movie rnanufac
turers are boosting thia refreshing
beverage without knowing it. It may
be that the publication of this story
will cause the picture show folks over
the country to flood C. J. Calkins, the
cider man, with bills for the advertis
ing which is appearing free in many
theatres which have "NO FREE LIST"
in letters six inches high over their
entrances.
Jumes E. Montgomery, who spent
quiet evening in Aberdeen, Wash., on
Gray's harbor last week, sought the
thrill of a f'nlm drama. Just after the
horse thieves had made away with a
drove of bronchoB and were being
chased by the daring heroine over the
hills and far away, the movie sheriff,
wearing a nine inch star, and musta-
chins recently thrown into the discard
by Neil Evans, swaggered up to the
big door of the villxge blacksmith shop
to tack up a sign offering a reward for
the rustlers. While the sheriff pounds
his fingers the audience can read the
only other sign on the shop door, which
says in big letters, "Hood River Apple
Cider.
llessell-Wall
The wedding of W. A. Hesse!!, of
Gresham, to Miss Osa Wall, the popu
lar daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. I).
Wall, of the Heights, was solemnized
Saturday evening at the home of Mr.
Hessell's parents in Gresham. The
ceremony was performed bv Rev.
Ware, pastor of the Gresham Methodist
church, only a few friends being pres
ent.
Miss Wall is well known and popular
with Hood River people. Mr. Hessell
is an enterprising and respected young
business man of Gresham, where they
will make their home. The Glacier
joins with their many friends in con
gratulation! and best wishes.
FOREST FIRES
TAKEBIG TOLL
STANLEY-SMITH MILL DESTROYED
Property Valued at $1 15,000- Plant Will
Be Rebuilt, According to Man
ager Robertson
Althuogh about seven miles away,
in all probability having caught from
the forest lire that was burning furi
ously in the mountains southwest of
this city, the mill of the Sanley-Smith
Lumber Co. at Green Point was de
stroyed by tire last 1 hursday night.
The mill plant, blacksmith shop and
oil house were burned to the ground.
The plant was valued at 1115,000 and
insurance of ti2,,riiK) was carried. The
tire was reported to Manager J. E.
Robertson by A. A. Lausman and ten
minutes before midnight he hastened
to the scene. However, the dames
were beyond control when discovered,
and the crew of 20 men kept at Green
Point to operate a small mill about a
half mile north of the big plant were
kept busy to prevent the fire from
spreading to the surrounding forest.
The fira from all appearances started
on the outside of the main plant, and
it is thought that flying brands from
the distant foiest fires sre responsible.
"We had reports of the forest fire
Thursday, says Mr. Kobertson, "from
the forestry officials, who have a large
crew of men engaged in fighting it.
Numerous cinders and embers fell
around our premises, according to re
ports of the workmen, but most of
them were dead. However, one of the
workmen stated that he saw two
brands alight on the log pond that gave
appearances of having been alive. The
forest tire was evidently started by
hunters.
"We have turned many Indians and
others back from the woods. Every
thing was all right until the bunting
season opened and then it was impossi
ble for the rangers to keep control of
the tireB. Nothing better for the state
could happen than a change of the
hunting law, not allowing the season
to open until after the fall rains."
A little over a year ago the mill of
the Oregon Lumber Co. at Dee was de
stroyed, causing a loss of approxi
mately $100,000, on which there was no
insurance.
Although no definite plans have been
made. Manager Robertson savs the bis
Green Point plant will be reconstructed.
While the latter part of last week the
forest fires were endangering much of
the timber of the Stanley-Smith Co..
fighters were rushed from this city and
aided the government in subduing the
flames, which at times were spread
rapidly by high winds. Rains have
fallen on some of the higher altitudes
and the woods are not so dry as they
nave Dcen.
C. C. Hon. a ranger of the Herman
creek distrcit, where the bad fire of
last week started, says that the fire
spread with great rapidity and campers
in the section barely escaped with their
uvea.
VALLEY PLEASES
MONMOUTH PEOPLE
"In all of our trip we saw nothing
that so impressed us as did Hood Kiver
valley, the first sight of which we got
Sunday afternoon as we mounted to
the summit on the road crossing the
range separating the valley from the
Mosier district, said Miss M. U.
West, librarian of Monniouth'Normal
school, who with the following party
has been making a tour of the state
this summer:
Miss Myra Butler and Miss Katie Duns-
more, members of the normal school
facultv. and 11. Morlan and F. Macey.
The party left Monmouth just after
the close of the summer school. They
traveled down through southern Ore
gon, through the Crater Lake and
Klamath Falls districts and came up
through central Oreogn. They spent
Monday at Cloud Cap Inn and made an
ascent of the mountain. On Tuesday
tno visitors took lunch with Miss Eth
eljane McDonald, who recently re
turned from Monmouth after attending
the summer school. The motorists left
Tuesday afternoon by boat for Port
land.
All of the party were enthusiastic in
their praise for the beauty of the val
ley. "It was especially appealing to
us with its verdure and rolling orchard
holds after our tour of the arid section
in central Oregon," said Miss West.
COUNCIL DECIDES ON
12TII STREET WORK
At the Monday night meeting the
city council repassed the ordinance pro
viding for the improvement of Twelfth
street, which has been held up by
a remonstrance of abutting property
owners. All voted for the ordinance
with the exception of W. H. Taft. The
ordinance provides for the thorough
cleaning of the street and the aplica-
turn of crushed rock and oil. Ihe work
will be done by the Transfer & Livery
Co., to whom the contract was award
ed, their bid having been 60 cents per
square yard. However, a portion of
the work, just in front of Taylor's
store, which will require an entire new
surfacing, that portion of the street
not having been in the city limits at
the time of the first improvement of
Twelfth street, will cost $1 per square
yard.
Ihe following citizens were appoint
ed as appraisers for the property to be
used in the widening of Sherman ave
nue at the corner of that street and
