Mr. Thompson pointed out that the Upper Valley had always willingly suptorted in the construction of Lower Valley highways and that the district is bear ing a large share of the Columbia high way work. Mr. Steinhauser stated that Upper Valey felt justified in making this plea for aid, since the roads of that com munity up to the present time had been improved for the most part by private work and subscription. "1 would judge that ! per cent of the tipper Valley road impovements have been done by the residents of the community without aid from the county," said Mr. Stein hauser. The advisory board took ro action on the proposed appropriation of $1,800 for the county library. The contract with the Carnegie corporation makes it necessarv for the county to raise (1,750.

LOCAL CONCERN SHOWS PROGRESS Hood River Vinegar Company Manager, C. J. Calkins, Says Quality is the Keynote of Success The history of the seven years of ex istence of the Hood Hiver Apple Vine car Company's factory is a story of steady progrefS. From an investment of J.i.tKKl it has grown lo inai oi I0 .000. From an annual raiiacty of il,500 gallons of Vint gar the output uf last year reached 40ti,oou gallons, t't'e large orchard would have furnished fruit for the factory in the ejrly days of its existence, while today from Ii.") to 40 tons of cull apples from the local district are crushed, their juice being piped to enormous tanks to pass through chemical processes and emerge finally in bottles and jars, a clear, pure apple cider vinegar. No institution of the mid-Columbia and perhaps no factory of the state of Oregon has made greater development than the local vinegar factory. Vthile commercial graveyards in all parts ot the country are filled with the remains of such enterprises, the management of the local laclory mis tieneu any uuai- ness anaemia. It has been built on a solid foundation. Many factories for the handling of by-products from the orchard have been promoted as co-operative institutions. They have been launched with a mighty crash of band wagon enthusiasm. Tho magic words of co-operation have been an asset to the artist-salesman of can nery and by-products machinery manu f,,..i,,ri, piimiiunips As a result the institutions began life with an overload of equipment. Not willing to allow their machinery to lie idle, superin tendents and grower directors of such cooperative factories have busied them selves in canning or packing numerous johlots of fruits and vegetables. I'retty soon with Btorage space filled with products the dillicult task of disposing ,,f it ut u nriifit uresented itself. lis- trilJUlors ami purcnasera oi aucu are looking for standardization of pack ami quality, ine mass oi gouua nci hv inpxnerieneed manufacturers does nut appeal to them. The goods remain unsold. A damper iaus on mo tany ardor of the days of organization. '1 he . . . . j - a bubble is oursieo, me uream ui pruui gone, and the doors ot the oy-prouucis plant are eventually cioseu. When it began life in a little building 40x!i0 feet, one story, with two sheds attached, the Hood Hiver vinegar fac tory might have been considered a weak baby. It was not taken very ser iously by local people, mil tne owner, C. J. Calkins, who today spends each day and a portion of each night manag ing a vinegar plant inai covers a euy block, did not care. Ha had plans of the future, but he was not confiding in any one, he was engaged in the task of riiuLinir his babv factory at least a healthy business institution. He didn't overfeed it. Mr. Calkins, who was formerly a Portland salesman and who knew the intricacies through which goods passed from the time of production to that of final consumption, realized that his task was not only that of producing vinegar and cider, but that of selling it profita bly as well. The business he manages today bears mute evidence of the suc cess of bis plans. Hut Mr. Calkins even today is not a talkative man. He could tell much of the hows and whys of failures in orch ard by-products plants. Hut he does not care to talk. For one reason he is too busy; and he is of a reticent na ture. However, he will tell you that the keynote of success or a business such as his lies in the quality ot the product turned out. Quality is a iavor ite word with him. He practices what he preaches, and a few eeks ago, in competition with vinegats from scores - " . . .11 . U llniln of lactones in an pans m mc unutu States.

That first award or a goni medal at San Francisco was not. it is evident, just a matter of luck.
