WOMAN CANDIDATE
TO STUMP COUNTY
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, of The
Dalles, who has just returned to her
home city from a trip east made for
the purpose of notifying Predsident
Wilson of his nomination by Oregon
Democrats, has announced that next
week she will begin an active cam
paign in the interest of her candidacy
for the joint representativeship from
Hood River and Wasco counties. Mrs.
Thompson, the Democratic nominee, is
the first woman ever to actively par
ticipate in local district politics, and
her announcements have aroused a keen
local interest.
Mrs. Thompson will pursue unique
methods for winning votes of local peo
ple. On the following respective dates
ehe will appear at the five balls of
Hood River county granges, where she
will deliver dramatic readings: Pine
Grove, Sept. 25; Psrk, Sept. 26; Park

Sept. 29.
Each program will be closed with a
discussion of political topics.
One Count; Road Supervisor
Hood River, Ore., Sept. 20, 1916.
Editor Glacier: Will you give me
apace to blow my bugle regarding the
proposition of having one road super
visor for the county in the place of the
many we have. Looking at it from
one angle it might be a move in the
right direction, but from another it
doesn't look so good. If a competent
road builder was given the position and
had absolute control of all tbe road
construction it might be a business
proposition, but under the present con
ditions it would be a failure with a big
F. Under our present law the county
court has the last say, and as a rule
they say it. Tbe county courts, the
state over, know but little more about
road building than a bog knows about
a holiday. Our county court is no ex
ception to the rule. We have samples
of their work all over the county. The
East Side grade is one; their refusal
to take over the Highway and main
tain it is another, and a two or three
thousand dollar piece of road that is
being built at Winans that hasn't any
way to get onto it from either end,
only mud; roads, is another, to say
nothing about what they do not do that
they ought to do. We have some good
road supervisors in the county good
road builders. We have one In Frank
ton. But they are all handicapped by
the "higherupB." And so would the
county supervisor be. Better change
our laws covering those points before
making any changes tbBt might be
jumping out of tbe frying pan into the
fire. We tried the county supervieor
proposition once and it was a failure.
About the only thing that it accom
plished was the recall and that could
happen again very easily.
One solution of the problem would be
to start from Hood River, as all roads
meet there, and build what we did
build good. In time the eounty would
be covered and then if a patrol system
were adopted that would look after the
little ills there would be but few big
ones. This cannot be ;done under the
present system and the other plan has
been tried and found lacking. Friends
of good roads in this county, think this
over by Saturday. M. R. Noble.
Water Investigation Made
Percy A. Cupper, an assistant state
engineer, has been here making ready
for an exhaustive investigation of the
watershed of the Hood River valley.
Mr. Cupper comes here for the State
Water Board, to which the Supreme
Court recently refereed the case of the
Oregon Lumber Co. vs. the East Fork
Irrigation District, a suit involving tbe
waters of the East Fork.
When the case is again taken up,
however, it is expected that all rights
of the watershed will be adjudicated.
Butter wrappers at this office.
"Divvy Up!"
r "Butter-Kist" Pop Corn is so crisp, fresh and pure,
if 8 almost too good to share.
The very choicest, seasoned pop corn, popped just
right and the excess moisture dried out, then buttered
with pure creamery butter untouched by hands.
"Butter-Kist" Pop Corn
is popped in a new, automatic machine that
does nearly everything but make change..
We simply put the raw corn in at the; top'
and the "Butter-Kist" Popper turns it out
in big, snowy, tempting flakes, freshly salted
and buttered a delicious treat.
Come ia tnd see it work!
