The Heights Garage 1210 CSt, Phone 3151 Despite the rains that prevailed over the valley throughout the afternoon, a large coterie of Upper Valley good roads enthusiasts were present Monday right at the good roads meeting of the Conmercial club, when the members of both the good roads associations of the Upper Valley were invited to meet and uixcuxs ways and means of im proving the highways connecting the two ditricts. The meeting was a profitable one, in that it caused a better understanding of just what the Upper Valley people de sire. As Truman Hutler, in addressing the meeting put it, an emergency ex ists, and in common parlance, it is up to the people of the valley to help the citizens ol the communities auove noom hill to secure improved routes for the ncreasing transportation. The club endorsed the proposal of the Upper Valley committee, and petitions will be secured to be submitted to the county court, asking for a survey of a perma nent route connecting with the Neal creek road and the river road from Dee. Numerous suggestions were of fered at the meeting. F. X. Arena submitted a letter, prosposii g that a trunk line be constructed up the Hood river and up through Dukes Valley, lhis li le, as proposed, would use the route formerly surveyed for an electric line. The maximum grade of the elec tric road would have been about three per cent, it is stated. However, according to the plans now under way, this proposed trunk line direct from the city on a water grade will remain to be worked out later. To prepare for the Upper Valley emergen cy the court will be asked to make the survey of the loop line through the upper district. As C. P. JohanBen states, "We do not want a hard sur faced road, as an erroneous impression has in some cases been allowed to go out. We merely want a grade on a permanent road. A dirt road will Bat ibfy us for the time, and we, ourselves, will take care of the surfacing later." On account of the weather, the valley members of the Good Roads Associa tion did not turn out in large numbers. The Upper Valley delegation was as follows: Mr and Mrs. C. P. Johan Ben, J. O. Hannum, J. F. Thompson, Charles Steinhauser, M. W Shearer, A. It. Nickels, Homer A. Kogers, J. D. Gordon and Russell G. Pond.

A letter from the Distributors to the trade says: "The crop this year will be one of such attractive quilily that when com pared with ti e quality of eastern bar rel stock will prove attractive to cus tomers, and the opening prices are lower than the western box apples have ever been sold before. "We are positive that the crop of ap ples this year in the United States is vastly overestimated, we know that the crop of ttie northwest will be prac tically less than 9000 cars of shipping character, or about equal to the crop of 1013, and we are positive also that a goodly amount of the eastern crop will be wasted owing to its indefinite char acter and that the box fruit of the northwest at its very low prices will prove exceedingly attractive in com parison." brigiitYdeathre- VEALS BRILLIANT PAST MANY EXHIBITS ARE PROMISED NEWPORT READY FOR ROAD WORK In case good weather prevails be tween now and the first of february, the Columbia Highway should be open from Hood Hiver to Portland. Wilh the bonds declared valid by the Su lire me court, the Newport Land & Con Btruction Co. is ready to begin work this week. 11. K. Newport, of the con struction company was here lastfri duv 'We will establish headquarters at Wveth." he Baid. "and iust as fast as we are able to get them on the ground and busy, we expect to put crews of 250 men to work. We will have camps in all sections. A camp will be con structed west of Cascade Locks, an other at the old Benson camp and i third at Lindsay creek. We are going to push the work, and if the weather oermits we will be through in four months." The sinking of the Columbia steamer, the Gamecock, below Cascade Lock ast Thursday morning will delay the road Bliithtlv. The Gamecock was to nave carried the equipment for th comuanv. "the work ol Attorneys cooveri anu Derby in hastening the bond matter through the Supreme court and the work of your local Com . ercial club are worthy of commendation," says Mr. Newnort. J. A. Pead, a representative of the Newport Construction Co., who arrived here from Hermiston luesday, stated that material was being rapidly sembled and that the crews of men were being mobilized for action. ASSOCIATION GIVES OPENING PRICE LIST Only when it was learned that he had been killed here last Thursday morning, having been struck by the early morning westbound O.-W. R. & N. passenger train, did local people know that George Bright, who for the past several months had been a county charge, was at one time a leadlrg criminal lawyer of the state of Ohio. The old man, who 20 years ago was known the length and breadth of Ohio. having played a prominert part in poli tics as well as being known for 'his brilliant pleadings before the juries of that state, was on his customary errand to the city to secure provisions at the Star grocery. Only the day before he had'been warned by R. B. Perigo about endangering his life by walking the steel bridge. He only laughed. Attorney John Maker, formerly a resident of Kinley, Ohio, the home town of the dead man, says that he knew bright. "I have known him since he was a boy, says Mr. Baker. He was at one time a district ludue in Cincinnati, and was one of the lead ing henchmen of Geo. B. Cox, the po litical boss of Ohm 20 years ago." According to Mr. Baker the old man disappeared from Cincinnati about 18 years ago. He was soon afterward heard of in Seattle, where he was a practicing lawyer for a while. Drink and dissipation were responsible for his downfall. He appeared here re cently with a tide of harvest hands, and soon afterward fell to the county to care for. The body was brought to the Ander son undertaking establishment, where a search of the clothing revealed that the old man's worldly wealth at the time of his death was exactly 13 cents, a clime and three pennies. Superintendent Thompson Stater that Boys and Girls in all Parts of the Valley are Taking an Interest Saturday will be fair day in Hood River. From early morning until in the late afternoon the courthouse lawn and the assembly hall of the countv ibrary building will be crowded with children from all parts o the valley; lor. although the old folks will be in terested, only school children will par ticipate as exhibitors. Two school fairs have been held in Hood Kiver county, one last year and one the year before. itotn nave attracted widespread stten- tion, but the fair of Saturday, judging from the reports of Prof. C. D. Thomp son, county school superintendent, who has visited all school districts and found teachers and students preuaring exhibits, and the psr.nta taking a gnat intercut, will l e the best ever held and the must largely attended. formerly the prizes for the young sters with the best exhibits have in most cases consisted of merchandise contributed by local merchants. Ttiis year, however, each prize will be cash. Three prizes, of $3. $2 and $1, will be awarded for each cluss of exhibits. Prof Thompson says that the grown ups of the county r going to be sur prised this year hy the excellence of t' e exhibits. The boys and girls have I een at woik on their gardens and some Rue vegetables and corn will be shown. Some of the corn bids fair to take premiums at the O.-W. K. & N. corn Bhow at Walla Walla later on in the fall. When Saturday night comes there will be no prouder citizens in the coun ty of Hood Hiver than the two boys who will be awarded premiums that carry with them the honor of being sent to the state fair at Salem. This trip will be the gift of the Iocs! Com mercial club, tl.e fair association pay ing the boys' expenses while they are at the capital. The rxhitita of poultry, rabbits, pigeons, grains, etc., will be shown on tables on the court house lawn. The needle work and products of the young folks' culinary art will be exhibited at the library hall. NORTHWEST VICTIM OF DEMOCRATIC TARIFF LOCAL ORCHARDS PRO TECTED SAYS MACRUM E. C. Roberts, president of the State Board of Horticulture, recently took a trip to eastern Oregon with Dr. Ma crum, the new horticulturist for the fourth distrcit. He reports cooperative spirit of all growers. At Dufur Mr. Roberts reports fruit under irrigation in splendid condition. While three Mr. Roberts and Dr. Macrum appointed P. C. Stockdale, a graduate of Pullman college, scientific urchardist and fruit grower, as a special deputy commis sioner. It will be his duty to look af ter the general condition of orchards and cooperate with inspectors. A dep uty commissioner also was placed at The Dalles, T. A. Sammis. These deputies work wholly without salary and for the good of the business generally. It is the desire of the board to give the grower the best possible benefits from a scientific standpoint at a minimum cost and a splendid corps of competent deputies is being acquired. The district of Dufur, for instance, has been sulfering to some extent from fire blight and steps are being taken to eradicate same, which requires con stant observation and detailed work which is proving its logic in view of the fact that in this district blight is well under control. This shortly will be eliminated altogether. This district together with Hood River section, at which exists the branch experimental station, has the best protection of any locality in the state, according to Dr. Macrum. Mr. Roberts is now about to leave upon an extended southern Oregon trip for investigation. The west in general, and the north west and Oregon in particular, were the victims of rank discrimination in the framing of the Democratic Underwood-Simmons tariff bill. Tins injus tice was spoken of in a recent speech made by the Hon. Cbas. H. Cloan, of Nebraska, given in the house of repre sentatives on March 3, 1914. He called attention to the fact that 80 per cent of the products of New Jersey (the great Itrust state) were protected, but only 6 per cent of the products of the territory west of the Mississippi was protected. For example: That the Democratic "solid south was the ben eficiary of the favors of the Democratic majority. As prrof of this, he cited the fact that rice, tobacco, peanuts, mica and cotton fabrics received pro tection, while meats, cattle, corn, eggs, wool and wheat, under certain condi tions, (all western products) were placed on the free list. Probably he would have spoken of Chinese eggs, but at that time very few of these had been imported on the Pacific coast. Kent which were renresented to have been imported from China were on sale recently at the 5, 10 and 16 cent store of E. P. Charlton & Company on Wash ington street in Portland. When ques tioned about their age, the salesman in the store said, "They are not fresh eggs, but they're good. They're good eggs alright. Senator S. B. Hutson, of Portland, who has recently returned from a trip through Washington county, where he formerly lived, estimates that Stenstor Booth will carry that countv by at least one thousand and that Dr. Withycombe will get an even greater plurality than thiB. J. D. STEVENS HERE FIGHTING EXEMPTION Rubber Stamps for Apple Boxes Made to Order at the Glacier Office "I have never seen the Hood River apples coloring better," says E. T. holts, the chief inspector ol the Apple Growers Association, who has been through all districts. "A little frost will make the fruit perfect. The Jona than hrst picking is now in full swing. Mr. Folts says that the size will be fine this year, and that the fruit will be free from imperfections. The sum mer months have been dry and but lit tle fungus prevails. The quality of this year's fruit will be better than in a number of seasons.

A meeting of the club was held last night at the office of the secretary. Alva Day, in the First Na tional bank builidng. With its list of officers and members composed of citi zens from the city and valley, who are interested not only in seeing the local streams abound in fish and the forests with game animals and birds that they, themselves, may enjoy good sport, but that the community around flood Hiver may maintain its reputation as a para dise for hunter and fisherman. The club has already been instru mental in securing a carload of trout fry for the valley streams. Another will be brought here soon. It haB been reported to members of the club that many game birds have been killed by eating poisoned grain put out for squirrels and gophers. J. B. Hunt, Fred J. Rand and A. R Cruikshank were appointed on a com mittee to draw up a constitution and bylaws. The officers of the club are as fullows: D. McDonald, pres. ; Ed Button, vice pres.: Alva Day, sec; A.

Pooley, A. J.Derby and A. B. Shelley. J. D. Stevens, of Sellwood, a Port land suburb, who has been visiting dif ferent counties of the state in the in terest of the campaign that is being waged against the $1,500 exemption bill, visited local business men Tuesday night. Mr. Stevens, who has long espoused the cause of those who are fighting single tax in Oregon, showed the local people that the proposed bill, which will be voted on in Noveber is really a single tax bill in disguise. The popu lar impression exists that land will be exempted as well as personal property to the amount of J1.6UO. in reality the bill contains a joker and land is not ex empted. Mr. Stevens win come nere next week and spend three days explaining the measure to the members of the county granges "1 hud the rarmcra or an parts oi the state, where the bill is under stood," says Mr. Stevens, "opposing the measure. GOVERNMENTWILL MAKE CIDER TESTS The United States Department of Agriculture will again conduct experi ments at the Hood River Apple vine gar Co., with processes for the concen tration of fruit juices into syrup. E. 1.. Msrkell, an expert of the depart ment, accompanied by his wife, has al ready arrived here. If the experiment prove successful and the processes can be carried on commercially, fruit syr ups bid fair to become as popular as corn syrup. It is a source or pride to flood Kiver growers that a local factory has been chosen out of the many apple districts of the country.
