Holman, The Heights Telephone S131 Twelfth Street AUTO TRIP THROUGH EASTERN WASHINGTON A very pleasant feature of the visit of the Glacier nan and hia better half with hia brother, H. G. Moe, and wife, at Dayton, Wash., was the trip through eattarn Washington, from Walla Walla to Spokane in the latter'a Haynea "six." 'lo beat the railroad train into Spokane from Dayton by five hours, reflects much credit upon the skillful driving of "Harry," the efficiency of bia ear, and the wonderful help'of the new atate road which ia being built and which baa many completed stretch es in which the ear glidea along as smoothly aa a Pullman and "eats" up the miles as fast aa the crack limited trains. The road from Walla Walla north ia excellent until Columbia county is reached, and then alow time must be made to ease the car over the old, un even turnpike, which baa been good enough for the farmers and horse drawn vehicles since the country waa settled. Leaving Dayton on the way north, the road has been improved for gome distance, but tne hills one has to make, up over dividea and down across canyons from one to two thousand feet deep, occasionally striking a 25 per cent grade, most of it the old indiffer ent country road, makes traveling slow compared to the time made whenever the new state road waa encountered. Yet a good, powerful car does not "fret" at tbe grades if the track is reasonably smooth, and we made good time. Dropping down for several miles into the Snake river canyon, we crossed the Central ferry, and then began the long climb up over the summit, where an altitude of probably 4,000 feet was reached, and where one could see the Blue mountains to the south and Step toe Butte to the north, a distance of perhaps 100 miles. Over this vast stretch of country one gazed over a sea of golden grain, thousands and thou sands of acres, broken here and there by plowed fields of summer fallow, which will be put in grain next year, while this year's grain fields will take year s rest. As we neared Colfax the roads were better, and from that city to Spokane the drive was magnificent. In that section of the state the higher altitude was noticed in the green fields, there being but a few fields of early ripening grain that was tinged with yellow. Much of the road is being macadam ized between those two cities, and its popularity is attested by the numerous cars constantly on the road (most of which, by the way, are rords). Spokane looks prosperous; in fact, more so than any of the coast cities we have seen this year. No doubt this is due in a measure to the good grain crop and prospective good prices. Still, we were informed that business in gen eral is not as good as it has been. The return trip was made by way of Pomeroy, where we visited Dr. Clark Black and family, and called on Mr. and Mrs. Koy Knettle, all companions of the Oriental trip. Around Pomeroy are the best looking grain fields in eastern Washington. Dr. Black has 33 acres of Hungarian bearded wheat which will go from 55 to bO bushels to the acre. He brought the seed from Hungary two years ago, and from the small planting he secured seed enough for his held this year. It has tested out to be of a superior quality, and the enormous yield the stand of which ia hve to six feet, with beads four to eight inches long has made him very enthusiastic over It. He will plant 1,000 acres of it next year. A sample bunch of thia wheat may be seen in the Glacier office. The hot winds in June injured consid erable of the grain around Dayton and Walla Walla, but as a whole, eastern Washington, especially in the higher elevations, will have a bumper crop. In Dayton we had a very pleasant visit with Rev. W. C. Gilmore and family, who expect to visit Hood River next month. MOUNTAIN ROAD ORDERED REPAIRED From the Mosier Bulletin Yesterday afternoon County Judge Gunning and Roadmaster Sharp came down from The Dalles and accom panied Chas. Bennett, road supervisor in this district, over the road leading up the mountain to Hood River, view ing it with the idea of making much needed repairs and alteration. The county oflicials ordered cut outs to be made, and all dangerous places in the road to be fixed. The county officials ordered the work to be commenced Monday, and have left Mr. Bennett in charge to use his own discretion as to what is to be done. At this time there will be no grading of the road, but cut outs will be made, gravel spread, and some shooting of rocks. The gravel to be used will be obtained from a pit near the Wasco county line. No certain amount has been ordered expended, so it seems certain that considerable work will be done to improve this road as much as possible, and make it more passable for tourists until the highway is completed between Mosier and Hood River. As a suggestion from Governor Withy combe and S. Benson, Mark A. Mayer took this matter up with the county court, and they have acted promptly. It is now up to Hood River county to get busy with their part of the road, and complete this temporary link be tween Mosier and Hood River. When S. Benson was here recently, he made the statement that this was the worst road he had ever been over, and was certainly in a dangerous condition. Now that Wasco county has at last commenced to do something in regard to tne nignway, although this part is only temporary, Hood River should meet her at the border line and do her share, as the benefits to be- obtained are certainly mutual. Alleged RisqueDance Brings Fine Having been charged with partici pating in a dance that bordered on the forbidden rag, Rudyard Imholz was ac costed in tbe Dreamland open air pa vilion weanesaay evening or last week by City Marshal Carson and requested to present himself the next afternoon before Municipal Judge Howe. After examination of witnesses atthe trial. Judge Howe declared that the city bad made out a case, but after recommeda tion of. City Attorney, Wilbur, a fine of five dollars was suspended, Mr. Howe stating that he doubted if there had been any immoral intent on the part of young Imholz.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT A CLUB FEATURE From indications, interest that is at present being dwplayled and the latent talent that may be developed, the pro posed activities of the muiscal depart ment of the Hood River Woman's Club bid fair to eclipse the coming year any thing ever undertaken by that organiz ation. The club's first Wednesday af ternoon September meeting, when the regular work will be resumed after the summer vacations are over, will be de voted to a lecture on musical history and a study of the lives of composers, all illustrated by musical selections. The second meeting, an evening affair, will take the form of concerts or re citals, the program to be rendered by guests or club members, themsevles. At the meetings of the summer prom inent guests in the valley will appear. In the near future a talk will be given by Prof. F. X. Arena, conductor of the New York People"s Symhony orches tra, who spends his summers bere on his Middle Valley ranch.

A branch of the new musical depart ment of the Woman's club will be for the children This department will be under the supervision of Mrs. C. H. Henney, who will thus supplement her excellent work in the public schools. Jt Is our hope, members or the club say, "to endeavor to maintain a better standard of music in the homes of Hood River.' Pupils' recitals will be given once a year. The pupils of any local teacher may participate, and the names of both teachers and pupils will appear on the programs. The musical department is open to members of the Woman's Club. New members may join by paying the regu lar club dues. Men are admitted as associate members, paying annual dues of one dollar. LOCAL BAND BOYS PLAN CONCERTS Members of the Hood River Cornet band, the music rendered by which is of a high standard, as those who have heard recent programs rendered on the streets can attest, is planning weekly open air concerts.

That backache or stiff muscle that cannot be explained on account of hav ing "satin a draft and caught cold" is more than likely the result of weakened or disordered kidneys. Foley Kidney Pills promptly relieves backache, sore, swollen or stiff muscles and joints, rheu matism and sleep disturbing bladder ailments. They put tbe kidneys in sound, healthy condition, and help them eliminate uric acid and other poisons from the system. For sale by Chas. N. Clarke.
