OREGON COMMENT
ON BILLY SUNDAY
(From ths Oregonisn)
Billy Sunday is an extraordinary
man, with an extraordinary method,
delivering a real message. It does not
xplsin Billy Sunday to say that he ia
a specialist in vulgarity and that there
is a streak or the vulgar in most nu
man beincs. You can hear vulgarity
in any brothel, and you avoid it. Nor
does it abed any light on the mau'a
strange drawing powers to say that he
has introduced vaudeville into the pul
pit. There are other preachers about
whom the ordor ot the sawdust ana ine
animal cage lingers, and they get little
more than passing notiee. Nor can it
be said that the man has a great na
tural eloquenee, and that crude and
rough as it is, it makea an irrestible
appeal. There are men who have
greater gifts ot speech that face every
Sunday nearly empty pews. Yet Sun
day is a great preacher. It eannot be
hia spirituality, for he does not pre'
tend to have any, in the sense of a re
fined and pervading grace. He is not a
great actor, though a good one ; nor a
great interpreter of religioua life and
experience ; nor even a great teacher
and exemplar or morals.
Sunday ia more or less of an enigma.
Perhaps it is his career that appeals
somehow to the people. Sundsy ia in
the striker's box, and the crowd ia in
the grandstand and in the bleachers.
He ia expected to make a home run,
and. unilke Casev.he never strikes out.
Sundsy goes into the ring and tack lea
the Devil with bis bare nanas. it ia a
great fight, and the crowd loves it.
Sunday ascends to the trapese, near
the highest pninacle of the circus tent,
and thrills and amazes old and young
alike by the skill, rapidity and boldness
of his verbal and physical acrobatics.
Sunday puts a round, smooth stone in
bis sling and goes forth before the as
sembled multitudes and overthroows
the Rum Goliath. Always Sunday
makes a base bit, or knocks out his
heavy weight antagonist, or hits the
bull's eye. Regularly the performance
ia repeated, and there are no disap
pointments, no delayed game, no rain-
checks.
There are those who ssy Sunday does
more harm than good. Some preachers
think so, and all saloonkeepers. But
to the crowd he appears to head the
batting list in the great human game.
CHAPMAN URGES
BIGGER AUTO LICENSE
D. H. Drewery, chairman of the
automobile committee of the Commer
cial club has received from C. C. Chap
man a resolution in endorsement of a
proposed bill to be submitted to the
next legislature providing for an in
crease in motor car licenses. Com
municating with the Glacier Mr.
Drewery says:
"There is certainly a lot of merit to
a resolution or this kind, and tne
writer would be very much pleased
and appreciate it if you would give the
matter such publicity as you deem
advisable." w
The Chapman resolution follows:
"Whereas, the wear on Oregon roads
is caused principally by automobile
traffic, and
"whereas, the improvement of
through highways is of direct benefit
to automobile owners, in saving tire
and other expense, and.
"Whereas, automobile owners as a
class are liberally disposed toward
road improvement and wilTendure an
increases of auto license fees if the
proceeds are to be expended by the
state for permanent improvement of
through roads, therefore, be ft
"Kesolved. thai we recommend to
the 1917 general assembly of the state
of Oregon the enactment of such legis
lation as will bring an increased rev
enue from automobile license fees,
same to be the basis for providing
interest and sinking fund payments
for bond issues for permanent highway
improvement by the state."
PAVING COMPLETE IN
MULTNOMAH COUNTY
The paving of the Columbia River
highway in Multnomah county has been
brought to completion and the road
was thrown open to traffic Saturday. Aa
a result more automobiles than have
been seen in Hood River in a single
former week end, were here Sunday.
The old stretches of plank and dirt
road are gone and the new hardsurface
extends for 26.73 miles east of Trout
dale. The highway has been a little more
thn three years in costruction. It was
conceived in June, 1913. The highway
proper has coBt $1,300,000, a little more
than $48,000 a mile. There are more
than 40 viaducts and bridges on the
scenic highway.
Motorists to the number of 8000
speed over the highway weekly, it was
found this summer.
1916 HOLDS RECORD
FOR FREAK WEATHER
The year 1916 will belong remem
bered in Hood River for the freak
weather that has prevailed constantly
since New Years. Following a record
snowfall of more than seven feet in
the aggregate, the months of May and
June were marked for their unprec
edented rainiaii. While the normal
rainfall for the month of July ia but
a trace, over an inch of precipitation
prevailed the past July. One of the
heaviest August rainfall in history
prevailed Monday night of last week
and a light precipitation also continued
throughout Tuesday.
Although normally about half of the
average annual 30 inch precipitation
prevails in the Hood River valley from
September 1 to January 1, the rainfall
for thia year has already reached the
25 inch mark.

GEOLOGISTS REFUTE
SMOKE STORIES
Recent stories to the effect that
smoke haa been seen issuing from the
old crater of Mount Hood are absolute
ly without foundstion, according to an
unofficial report of a party of govern
ment geologists, who Saturday hiked
from the Upper Valley to Lost Lake,
where they will make a study of geo
logical formations. After spending
several days making observations on
the base of Mount ilood and in the
very crater itself, the geologists, ten
of whom are in the party, investigated
the huge mass of lava beds just west
of Parkdale and tested the flow of
water from the large glacial springa
that bubble from the foot of the lava
formations.
"The geologists will spend several
days in the Lost Lake country," say a
C. B. Compton, a Dee Flat rancher at
whose place they visited en route to
the lake. The men will also visit the
ice and lava eaves iathe region around
Trout Lake in northwestern Klickitat
county, Wash.
NOT ENOUGH
FOR GROWER
Too Many Hands
Increase Cost
CLOG DISTRIBUTION
The great cry today is for less
selling charges by the establishment
of more direct contact with the con
sumers. Growers in different parts
of the Northwest have learned that
apples upon which they net fifty or
seventy-five cents, sell at retail for
over three dollars. When you con
sider that most of the apples are aold
by the associations and shipping or
ganizations either to; or; through a
few firms of large receiving jobbers,
who sell to smaller jobbers, who in
turn supply retailers, who finally sell
to the consumers, the fact that the
growers only receive a small portion
of the final prices does not appear
inexplainable. "
Consumption Is Curtailed. .
Many of the growers overlook what
is of greater importance than the
subtraction of the high selling charges
namely the decreased demand for
the apples of ths Northwest because
of the high prices which must be paid
for them. In order to market at a
profit the apples of the Northwest, it
is necessary for a wider and more
direct outlet to be developed than
that afforded y the few jobbers'
stores in each large city, which now
handle box-apples from the North
west. In full crop years, hundreds of cars
of apples are either tramped around
the country or held in cold Btorage
too long while the shipper seeks buy
ers. Finally in a defective condition
many of these are dumped upon the
auction because no buyers at private
sale are to be found for them after
they have lost quality. These cars,
if they are fed to the auctions sys
tematically in the largest cities of the
country will bring returns written in
black instead of red ink.
Apple Shippers Misuse Auctions.
The apple shippers use the great
clearing houses as places of last re
sort for defective goods, while the
Californians and Floridans, Cubans,
Porto Ricans, Sicilians and Spaniards
place their fanciest fruits upon the
auction markets of Boston, Philadel
phia, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Cleve
land, Buffalo, Kansas City, Pittsburgh
and like cities. Wholesalers, retailers
and brokers come to the auctions for
their regular daily supplies of all these
other fruits.
If apples were supplied the auctions
in the same manner the large selling
charges of the big receiving jobber
could be evaded. Also, the hundreds
of little jobbers who buy in less than
carload quantities could get their sup
plies direct.

Western Union Man Has Thrilling Ride
After closing his office one night last
week, Eiwin Scheffield, manager of
the Western Union office, decided to
take a short tour on a Cleveland motor
cycle for which be and Floyd Gibbs
had just taken the agency. Mounting
the new machine he sped away. But
the ride was of greater duration than
Mr. Scheffield had contemplated. He
learned almost immediately that, al
though he had learned how to manipu
late the starting apparatus, he had
failed to comprehend the methods
needed to bring the mechanical steed
to a bait
Up hill and down hill Mr. Scheffield
sped for a couple of boura. He finally
succeeded in attracting the attention
of a fellow mortorcyclist, who mount
ing his own machine rode beside the
amateur and instructed him in the
meana of stopping the runaway cycle.

DUFUR PAPER SCENTS
PREPAREDNESS WORK
In the recent work of the United
Statea Geodesic aurvey, the Dufur
Dispatch scents work of preparedness,
commenting on the activities of a crew
of engineers, who recently paaaed
through Hood River in two big auto
mobile trucka, tha Dispatch lays:
A few weeks ago a party of United
Statea geodetic surveyors were in tbia
vicinity and apent aeveral daya in and
near Dufur. They spent some time at
Mount Lookout and at different points
in the neighborhood, taking altitudes,
making obaervatona, ete. They wete
very reticent about then object in
coming here and in spending the time
tbey did in this vicinity, but let the
impression go out that they were con
nected with the forestry department
and were establishing observation and
signaling points for use by that depart
ment. But there are those who dis
credit thia atory, or information.
On Mount Lookout there has been
for some yeara a signal post or "look
out" for use in the forest fire protec
tion. But at thia atation the geodetic
surveyors on their reeent trip put in a
heliograph, or an instrument for (lash
ing signals by meana of the sun's raya
falling on mirrors. Also a light for
flashing signals at night. At Mount
St. Helena another signal station has
been established and the alngala be
tween these two points can be plainly
aeen, both by day and night, and mes
sages sent from one point by means of
tne Morse code can be plainly read at
the other. Many other aignal stationa
have been established up and down the
coast, so that a regular chain of aignal
communication can be earried out. It
was alsp found out that the govern
ment has a chain of signals entirely
across the continent so that, if neces
sary, the communication between the
Atlantic and Pacific can be carried on
by means of these stations.
It also leaked out from aome of the
employes of the recent survey that it
ia the intention in time to place a pow
er plant in Hood river, near Mount
Lookout and establish an electiic plant
to furnish light for aignaling purposes.
Many are ol the opinion that this ia
part of the preparedness program which
the government is very much inter
ested in at present, and it seems feas-
able.
