KNOW VOIR OWN COUNTRY
Mar.shnll N. Puna, of the Portland
Oregon Journal, vvho ty a ltlle recent
detective work has uncHrthed the ig
norance of fort land railway employes
as to the scenic beauties of Oregon, is
not the first to note this feenjing ap
athy on the )art of tlrtgoiiiann. I)n
fortunately the outiade world haa lung
hecn of the erroneous opinion that Ore
gon was a land of eternal rain. Ihe
recent posters. Riving the comparative
rainfalls in graphic illustrations of Or
egon and other well known sections of
the United States, have heen of value
in clearing up thin impression. Oregon
has less rain than New York and far
less than New Orleans.
While the railways passing through
Oregon country have done much towurd
boobting the scenic attractions, they
have been blind to many upiHirtunities.
Vou may be sure that the employes of
the Southern Pacific never allow tour
ints to pass through California without
pointing out points of scenic interest.
The Oregon railways penetrate regions
far more scenic, and it is true that the
traveller may see much without having
railway official call his attention to
any scenic point, yet the falls along
the Columbia may be rushed by with
out a glimpse. Still just one glimpse
of them will so impress the visitor that
he will want to see them at closer
range.
We Oregonians should study our own
country and be so posted that we could
with readiness tell our visitors of the
wonders that surround us.
After all the publicity recently given
the Columbia river highway, it is rath
er surprising to learn of the discoveries
of Marshall N. Dana, who exposes the
ignorance of Portland hotel men in the
Journal. Yet an inventory of Hood
River knowledge might disclose a great
lack of information here. Such condi
tions exist almost universally. Other
cities know more ubout the .Columbia
Highway than Portland, herself. We
have often heard that slogan: "See
America First." Why not apply it to
the state; and geting further down the
gradation, the county? How many
Hood Hiver Valley residents have
really seen the wonders of their own
community? How many have visited
the Punch low I or the noted mountain
resort, Cloud Cap Inn?
It seems that the boya will soon be
swimming In safety and parents' usual
fcur will be gone.
PORTLAND HOTEL
MarHhali N. Dana, a staff writer oi
the Portland Juurnul, last week, visit
ing different hotels and places of busi
iicms and stating that he was Roger
W illiams, of KI101I0 island, made van
ous inquiries as to the Columbia high
way. In almobt every instunce he
found that the hotel clerks had but
very vague idea of the highway.
portion of Mr. Dana's story of his ex
periences appears tielow:
"On the train someone suit! Portland
hail a scenic highway-thu Oregon or
I oiumina road or some such name,
unnerved to the clerk at the Oregon.
"It runs up east of town here, but it
isn't open yet; they're blasting near
Hood River," responded the clerk.
I he only way you can get onto the
highway is to go to The Dalles by
iruin.
"How far does it load from there?
"Depends on w here you want to go,
mil it runs to renuielon now.
"Are there any particular features
ulong the road:
"Well, it runs over ths foot of Mount
.Hood."
, "Are there any waterfalls?"
"You'll find a few at Cascade
Locks.
feeling that, as Roger Williams.
some more knowledge might he help
ful, 1 stepped in next door and said to
the polite young gentleman behind the
desk at trie llenson hotel:
"Could ou give me a little informa
tion about how 1 can get out on the
Columbia river highway:
"You ought to he ahlo to learn from
Ihe automobile company across the
Street," he answered. " They've been
running a couple oi trucks out there
and it one ot ttie drivers is in, he'd
ought to be able to tell you some
thing." Suddenly, to the visiting Roger Will
iams, the Columbia highway teemed a
distant trail, through an unknown land,
whence daring trucksters brought back
scraps of information. Hut I persisted:
"Are there any soenie features woith
noticing?"
"Only one, Multnomah falls. It's
pretty tine, but there isn't anything
else, I guess."
S. lSetisor, owner of the llenson ho
tel, has been one of the good angels of
the Columbia highway. As a newspa
per man I knew all about his donations,
services and interest before I entered
this hotel, and, frankly, it was a disap
pointment not to find it a pel feet hot
bed of enthusiastic information.
"Its all hardsurfaced now," the clerk
on duty at the Portland informed nu
"Ihe only way you can get out is to
hire a machine. Make it a half day
trip and you'll enjoy it, for it's a
mighty pretty road I'm told."
"Could you give me the names ol
some of the waterfalls and special fea
tures?"
"No. I couldn't, hut there is one
place where you can see the Columbia
river for 50 miles."
"How much did they have to spend
on the road?'"
"lilessed if 1 know, but they've cer
tainly sunk a lot of money into it."
The clerk at the Seward threw up his
hands. "Don't know a thing about it.
Don't road the papers. Not interested
in automobiling. This Tvrrel trip man
says he's going to take the hotel clerks
out over the road, and if he nivcs us a
free ride I'll go along."
J.W.WALLACE, EAR
LY PIONEER, PASSES
James W. Wallace, one of the earli
est surviving pioneers of the Hood
River valley, after a short illness
passed away yesterday morning at the
Cottage hospital. Mr. Wallace had
been a resident of Hood River for 39
years, having come here in the fall of
1876,with a colony from Elmyra, N. Y.
He was 74 years of age, a veteran of
the Civil War.
The spring after his arrival the old
state military road, later abanoned on
the construction of the O. R. & N. line,
was begun. Mr. Wallace was associ
ated in the construction of the road
with the late John Marden, of The
Dalles
Mr. Wallace leaves surving a son,
("has. W. Wallace, of the Oak Grove
district, and three daughters, Mrs. A.
I. Kastman, of Odell; Mrs.W. L. Ellis,
of Mollalu, and Mrs. W. U. Perry, of
California.
Baker Tells of Mosier Experience
W. J. Raker, a pioneer railway con
ductor of northwestern lines, tells of
n interesting experience in the early
days at Mosier. Mr. liaker was in
charge of passenger trains over the
0. R. & N. system. One night as his
train pulled into Mosier, he was handed
a dispatch telling him to sidetrack his
train for the night and await further
orders.
"When the train was on the aiding,"
says Mr. Baker, "1 went back to my
l erth and went to sleep. The next
morning the operator called me, hand
ing me a telegram which instructed me
to make arrangements for' feeding my
passengers at Mosier.
"The sun was just coming up as I
went up the one street of the village.
I approached the home of J. 11. Mosier.
The old gentleman was in his harnyard
with a drove of sheep'crowded around
him, eating fodder that he was throw
ing to them. I gave'him my message.
" 'Well,' he said, 'I guess we can
handle them if you haven't got too
many,' and he leached over and siezed
a sheep by the ear. In less than three
hours all of my passengers had been
fed, and they had fine fresh mutton fur
breakfast. As for me, I ate ham and
"On numerous times after that I
stopoed at Mosier. I always took mj
meals at the Mosier home in preference
to the hotel. Mr. Mosier and his fam
ily were great friends of the early day
railroad people, and the excellent meals
they used to give us were known from
one end of the line to the other."

During the course of the season local
people and their visitors, w hile on fish
ing excursions and w hen hunting in the
mountains, have many interesting ex
periences. The Glacier will be very glad
to have fishermen and hunters give an
account of their experiences to this
column of the paper. If you hear a
story or a good joke, rejwjrt it.
A fisherman, according to a story
that has been going the rounds among
sportsmen, recently desired to try his
luck just below the Pacific Power &
Light Co. dam. He made arrangements
with a berry picker, who with his fam
ily was camping nearby; the latter was
to keep a watcb out for the approach
of other fishermen, especially a game
warden. The fisherman plied his rod
and allowed his bait to be carried along
in the rapids beneath the dam. Just as
he got a strike, the watcher gave the
signal and began to back off. How
ever, the fisherman was tempted and
landed a fine salmon trout. Ihe berry
picker saw him hurl it over the big
flume below the dam, and then hasten
to a place down the river where he
would be safe from the law.
As the story goes the fisherman told
the berry picker that he failed to catch
his fish, hut while they talked the berry
picker's wife slipped up the stream and
procured the fish, and in the law of
attorneys, the fisherman was estopped
from claiming a half of it under the
terms of his agreement.
Local people, perhaps, never have sus
pected that swans may be found in this
country. However, W. O. Hadlcy, of
i he Dalles, deputy game warden, re
ports that recently while en route to
Cascade Locks, he saw a flock of 45
swans near Wyetn.
On account of the many irrigation
systems and Ihe lack of proper screens
hundreds of the little trout fry plant
ed in Hood river by the State Game &
fish Commission cooperating with local
sportsmen the past few years, have es
caped into the ditches and have been
allowed to flow into orchard tracts and
strawberry fields, where they have per
ished. Local sportsmen and especially
the members of the Hood River Game
Protective Association are making
efforts now to secure proper screens.
H. L. Sandry, of southern Oregon,
was here last week placing a screen on
the Hood River Irigation Disrtcit ditch
to demonstrate its efficiency. Mr. San
dry has spent the past several years at
work on fish screens and is said to have
evolved a very successful and efficient
device.
Local Women to Attend Convention

Mayor Proclaims Holiday
Mayor H. L. Durable has proclaimed
Monday as a city holiday, the procla
mation follows:
1 Whereas, Memorial Day, long ob
served by custom as well as by the
statutes of our state as the occasion
upon which to commemorate aur coun
try's new birtb of freedom resulting
from tbe civil wsr, and to honor the
lives and sacrifices of those who died
or suffered in that memorable conflict,
will soon be upon us; and
Whereas, it is becoming a matter of
deplorable comment in recent years
that there are those among us who
thoughtlessly fail to give due and
proper observation to this grest day,
and to the things for whichin our na
tional heart and memory it should and
does stand, but who seemingly allow it
to be classed with holidays of less
eventful and purposeful significance;
To the end therefore of curbing such
tendencies, 1, 11. L. Dumble, mayor of
the city of Hood River, Oregon, by
virtue of my conception of a public
duty so demanding, do remind our peo
ple that Monday, May 31st, A. D. 1915,
is by law a legal holiday, and further
that it is by cherished custom a day of
great moral and sentimental signifi
cance. And I do urge upon all of our fair
city and county to fittingly observe
this recurring occasion in the manner
and for the purpose the same was orig
inally and deservingly dedicated. Let
us refrain from all unnecessary busi
ness responsibilities and civic func
tions, set the day apart for a purpose
ful devotion, and with neither mourn
ing nor jollity, but with proud heads,
thankful hearts and reverential mien,
join with the Grand Army of the Re
public and our fellow citizens in attend
ance lupon the public gatherings and
engagements of the day, thus honoring
ourselves and those whose names we
speak and memories keep, in a recon
secration of ourselves to the great work
born out of the human conflict inspiring
the occasion the perpetuation of the
Republic !
Done at the city of Hood River, Ore.,
on this 25th day of May, A. D. 1915.

Bragg Mercantile Co.,Hood River
An Interview with
The following interview was given by Mr. Ford to one of the aggressive Ford
agents, who returned to his home and gave it to his territory in the following
newspaper advertisement:
This is the most Important Advertisement I ever caused to be
Published. Read Every Word and then Marvel!
On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject of a possible August 1 rebate.
(The Kurd CinnpRiiv Hiinntincel last year as ynu well reineriilier tliat if their total calen reached 300,000 cars
lietween Aug. 1, 1!14, anil Aug. 1, l'Jl."), each pnrchaHer during that period would receive a refund of $-10 to fiKI)
"Mr. Ford," I suggested, "Is there anything I can say to our people with regard to the
Ford Motor Company's 300,000 car rebate plan?"
"We shall sell the 300,000," was the quiet reply -"and in eleven months, a full month
ahead of August 1st!"
'Then a refund is practically assured?"
'Yes- barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75,000 cars behind orders to
Factory and branches are sending out 1800 daily.
day.
I then said to Mr. Ford: "If I could make a definite refund statement we would in
crease our local sales 500 cars."
"You may say," was Mr. Ford's deliberate and significant reply to
this -"You may say that we shall pay back to each purchaser of a Ford
car between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, barring the unforeseen,
the sum of $50. You may say that I authorized you to make this statement!"
What can we add to the above? $15,000,000 coming back to Ford owners. And to pros
pective Ford owners up to August 1, 1915, it actually means -Ford Touring (or $565-less
the $50 rebate! Ford Runabouts for $515-less the $50 rebate! $225 down balance
on terms to suit. What is there left for us to say?
