E. Knowlea, C. T. Early, L. M. Blowers, D. McDonald, J. It. Steele and F. A. Mwe. Mr. Knowlea took the place of TTW. Sweaney aa chair man of the budget board. J. F. Candee was unable to be preseut- The court room was crowded.between 75 and 100 interested citizens having been present throughout tha day. Dis cussions were participated in freely. The committees from the granges ot the county were present and expressed a sentiment of economy. The grange will, no doubt, win the name of "watch dag of the treasury." And while some nf the objects at which they directed their shaits may arouse unfavorable criticisms, their general attitude of re ducing taxation may well be said to find universal lavor. The total nf the tentative budget as published reached a figure of $165. 271.70. After the board had finished its labors last week the figure was re duced to the sum of $130,069.90. I hie amount will be reduced by the um of approximately 5,200, earnings from the oitice of the county clerk, Kent Shoemaker. Cuta were made in the tentaive bud get as follows: Salary of fruit inspec tor $600 to $400; library , $1,750 to 81. 190, the grange demanding, however, that only the contract sum of $1,003 be granted; the publicity fund of $700 cut out altogether; proposed $60 for the use of sheriff during tax paving rush cut out altogether; $100 cut off travel ing expenses of county school superin tendent; $200 cut from assessor's fund for ue put j hire; current expenses were cut by the sum of $400; the sum oi $800 was cut from the county poor fund, it having b een pointed out that thin fund would not have the demands of that of the past year; school library cut from $500 to $250. Road fund, cut from f 60, 000 to $43,000; salaries ot road supervisors weie cut to the extent of $500. Ihe only increase that was made in the budget was that of $800, the sum to be uBed in the construction of a fire proof vault for county records. This was made on the recommendation oi citizens and county officers. At the present time some of the county offi cials do not have access to the old vault and it is declared that the pro posed new addition is badly needed at the courthouse. The work of the court and budget board, so far as expressions have been made by citizens, has been entirely satisfactory. The total tax levy in Hood Rivir county next year, exclusive of special school and road taxes, will be 14 3 mills. Tbe sum of 1.1, the high achnol tuition levy, must be deducted in dis tricts having high schools. The levy. according to the budget of last week, is segregated as follows: General fund, 3.4; state, 2 6 ; school, 7; road, 6.5, and high school tuition fund, 1.1. the city tax was placed at II mills, making the total taxation on city prop erty for the year 24.2 mills. The sum of WW has also been added to the vault fund of $800, and offices will be constructed at the courthouse for Judge Stanton and County Engin eer Kay. COUNCIL APPROVES LETTER CAMPAIGN At the Monday night meeting of the body the city council passed in approv al of the Portland Camber of Com merce letter writing campaign. If any members of the council happened to De in Portland yesterday they were given authority to act as delegates, repre senting the city, at a meeting called by the Chamber or Commerce oi tne metropolis. The question of maintenance of the county library received serious discuss ion among the council members Mon day evening. Ihe city fathers ex pressed dissatistacion on tne part oi tne county to bear a share of the up keep of the institution in proportion to that borne by the city. It was shown that last year the city raised a fund of $2,272.98 as against the sum of $1,800 by the county. At the close of the year the balance in the county treasury for library maintenance was $253, whereas the city had $756. Therefore the city during the next year will raise but $1,200, approximately, for the in titution. Crandall and Roberts were given authority to begin an audit of the city's books in tne near future. Mayor Dumhle announced that he would submit a message to the body at he next meeting, when the three newly elected members will take their teats. The finances of the city are in good condition, -aa was shown by a report, shoaing that the warranted indebted ness ot tbe corporation was $3,856.76 less than at tbe same time last year. PINE GROVE WEIr COMES NEW YEAR In spite of sickness and the fact that many were watching 'the old year out in Portland and elsewhere, over 200 men, women and chiHren met at the grange hall December 31, 1915. and had one of the beat times of their lives. Everyone in the community was invited and made to feel at home. After an hour of making new friends and greet inr nM nnsa th nrnjrsm hecran. An address of welcome and good fel lowship by Kev. G. E. Heineck, repre senting tbe M. E. church, was heartily applauded. Then followed a numorous pantomime from the grange. 1 bis was indeed so funny that people literally laughed till they cried. The rest of tbe program ioiiowi: Aloha Club: Vocal aolo, Miss Mar garet Ferrin. Epwortb League: Reading, Miss Esther Schmidt. Sundsy school: Recitations, Orletts Heineck and Myrtle Jar via. Boy Scouts: Demonstration by mem bers. Ladies' Aid: Vocal aolo. Mrs. Alice Mam. Sunflower class: Musical pantomime, 20 sunflowers. Amicus club: Reading, Mrs. Jos. Vannier. The last on the program was a drill by the W. C. T. U.. about 45 women taking part. Nineteen, dressed all in white, each with a baprer on which waa printed the name otdry" state, ied tbe march through tbe hall to the stage. They were followed by eight "black and whites ' representing ihe eight states to vote on prohibition in 1916. But the climax waa reached when the "blacks" with raised umbrel las passed along. These, of course, represented the very "wet" states. The Parent-Teacher Association was disappointed in their number owing to sickness Ihe bridge club also was not represented. After the program all found partners and led by Mrs. Ham and F. L. David son, formed in a grand march which finally led down to the dining room and lunch. January 1, 1916, was ushered in by singing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and "America." The hall was beautiflly decorated with green wreaths and red bells, sig nificant of ringing the old year out and the new year in. Eleven societies were responsible for this grand time, with Mrs. Mabel Lage as mistress of ceremonies. L. C. H. YEAR'S BIRTH SEEN FROM MT. HOOD TOP To climb Mount Hood from Cloud Cap Inn without a guide is a strenuous and marvelous task, even for Mazamas. But the hazardous journey was taken last week by Charles E. Warner and William Evans, of Portland. The as cent was begun Thursday from Mount Hood aLodge, where the men spent Wednesday night at Homer Rogers' lodge. They returned Sunday by way of Government camp. The men spent New Year a eve on the very summit of Mount Hood, saw the New Year's birth from Oregon's loftiest pinnacle and stayed at tbe sum mit until sunrise on New Year's day. Without a guide the climbers took the hardest route from Cloud Cap Inn to the summit, passing through two terrific snow storms, and then running into a fog in which Mr. Warner lust his compass after his companion's had been broken. Ihey lost their bearings and wandered off the trail to Zig Zug gla cier, where death beckoned on every hand, until the fog lifted and the men regained their bearings and made their way toward Government Camp. Perils oi the trip were increased by the solid coating of ice which was en countered near the too of the peak. I he men nad expected only snow and went equipped with snowshoes and rub ber boats without spikes. It was nec essary to cut every step of the way over this icy field, both in the ascent and descent, this waa in the steepest part of the undertaking and on several occasions one or the other would silp while cutting a foothold in tbe ice, only to be saved by the rope attaching him to hia companion. Lleven hours were requited to climb from Cloud Cap Inn to the summit. The men completed the vertical circuit of the mountain and arrived at Govern ment Camp on the south aide whence a communication was Bent by Mr. War ner. GAME ASS'N WOULD PROTECT BEAR If plans that have been launched by the Hood River County Game Protec tive Association are brought to materi alization Oregon bear may And protec tion as game animals. The local game protective organization proposes to have a statute drawn that will make it unlawful to shoot bear except during certain months of the fall. It is said that the animals are'very easily killed in tbe summer months, but that they are no good for food and the hides are valueless. Cubs will also be protected at all seasons. Tbe Association also has plans under way for the protection during the win ter months of the hundreds of China pheasant in the valley. At the annual meeting Tuesday even ing, when the Upper Valley contingent was fully represented, the following officers were reelected : D. McDonald, pres.; H. Garrabrant, vice pres.; Alva L. Day, sec; A. J. Derby, treas.: Sol. J. Spear, O. H. Rboadea and J. B. Hunt, trustees. HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI REUNION SUCCESSFUL The reunion of the alumni of the Hood River high school, held at tha K. of P. hall last Thursday evening. is said to have been one of the most successful get together meetings ever held by the grada of the local institution. When the business meeting of tbe evening waa over and. officers for the ensuing year bad been elected, Burleigh CaBb, Prof. Gibson and Prof. McLaughlin made speeches. Officers chosen were: Will Cass, pres.; Frances Elizabeth Baker, vice pres.; Miss Florence Bro sius. sec. ; Harold Hershner, treas., and Fred Coshow. sargeant at arms. At the conclusion of the business meeting solos were sung by Jack Stan ton and Miss Gladys Reavia. The re mander of the evening waa spent in dancing, a cafeteria luncheon being served at 11 o clock.

Lucas, who has ever taken keen interest in tbe affairs of the Woman's club, wss in charge of the entertainment. LOCAL CREAMERY IS SUCCESSFUL SL0W,STEADY GAIN HAS BEEN MADE Institution Will, According to Plans, Make Butter for Outside Ship ment Next Year The local co-operative creamery, a little more than a year old, is begin ning the new year on a solid foundation. No local institution has ever met with greater success. During December, 1914, the creamery made enough money to clear Indebtedness of operating ex penses of that month and to make up a deficit of its first monh'a run in Novem ber. Since that time it has made a steady gain, churnings of this week having been the largest in its history. During the 14 months of its operation the average monthly sum of $1,200 has been distributed among orchuidiuts for butter fat. Whereas on former years grocers were sending approximately $50,000 annually out of the county for butter, this sum is now being kept at home for local circulation. With a few excep tions, according to Clarence E. Coffin, secretary of the board of directors of the creamery, local grocers are using the product of the home institution ex clusively. Through a campaign of pub licity the creamery has taught people to call for Hood Hiver butter, and gro cery clerks declare it is only on rare instances that one calls for product of a foreign make. In addition to furnishing the local market, tbe'ereamery, an increase cf butter fat in sight, has planned this year to sell butter in outside points. Druing the latter part of the past year the creamery has had on its books names of about 150 orchardists, an av erage of 100 of whom have regularly furnished cream. "Each week," says Mr. Coffin, "we have one or two additional cream cus tomers." Until the creamery was established here the live stock industry was a neg ligible quantity in Hood hiver county. The number of milch cows has been in creased by leaps and bounds since the creamery was put into operation, and today but few families do not own a cow or two. The number of swine has increased in proportion. The opening of the co-operative institution made possi be indirectly the livestock show, held here last September, a revelation not only to local people, but to the country at large that the Apple valley could win fame in general farming. Several ranchers began the agitaion for a co-operative creamery as early as 1913. but Bentiment never reached a point to make possible conclusive action until Ipril, 1914, following a meeting of ranchers and business men which was addressed by Chris Mahre, manag er of the successful coopeiative cream ery at Junction City. It may be said that the local institution was founded at this meeting. The creamery opened its doors fn a new, well equipped building on Novem ber 10, 1914. The structure, erected just across Railroad avenue from tbe local warehouses ci tne Apple urowera Association, gets refrigeration from the large plant of the fruit marketing agency, pipes having been laid to tne storage room of the creamery. F. W. Bluhm, who was formerly supenntend nt of the Lebanon creamery, was se cured to take charge of the plant. The efficiency of Mr. Bluhm, who has been assisted by L. M. Wiedman, as abutter maker has had much to do with the success of the institution. The capital stock of the co-operative concern, of which $3,000 is paid in, is $5,000. The officers and members of board of direc tors are as follows: J. P. Thomsen, pres.; A. W. Peteis, vice pres.; C. E. Coffin, cec-treas. ; H. W. Peeler. M. O. Boe, W. G. ,E. Smith and Carroll M. Hurlburt. F. I. CO. WILL DECIDE ON POWER PLAN The stockholders of the FarmerB Ir rigation Co., who will hold their annual meeting next Saturday, when they will make a denfiite decision as to continu ing with the proposed plans of carrying out the development of 10 000 horse power on Hood river. 1 lie d itch com pany has filed on one of the most valu able power sites on the river. The Pa cific Power & Light Co., however, it is said, has purchased all the land adjoin ing the point, and in case the irrisgting concern falls down in its development of the power site, it will pass to the big power company. If the filings are made secure, it will be necessary to begin imme lately heavy development work. Some of the stockholders, it is said, are strongly opposed to the proposed expenditure of money on improvements, while oiners are as strongly set for the develop ment. Ssturday'a meeting bids fair to be one characterized by warm discus sion. SHOPPING TRAINS PUT INTO SERVICE The Mount Hood Railway Co. has changed its schedule and will operate twice monthly an early morning train from the Upper Valley center, in order to accommodate families of that dist rict, who desire (o shop in Hood River, but who do not wish to spend the night here. One of the shopping trains was operated yesterday, and another will be run on January 19. the trains leave Parkdttle at 8.30 a. m., and on the retrun trip from this city, leave at 3 p. ro. Tbe change was made on a recom mendation of the Parkdale grange. Ashley Wilson, superintendent of the valley road, is planning on excursions to the Upper Valley district, in order that local people may have an oppor tunity to participate in sports of the open snowflelds of the community. On days of the special trains tne hour of the local departuie of the first train has been changed to 7 a. m. v Liquor Advs. Clipped From Periodicals Slocom & Canfleld are complying strictly with provisions of the new prohibition laws, and ail liquor adver- iisemenis are enppea irom perioaicaia before the aame are Placed on sale
