Hood River Christmas sift shoppers will not find it necessary to leave the city to make their purchasea, whatever they may wish to accompany their Yuletide greetings to friend or rela tive. Never have the offerings of Hood River merchants been more varied or handsomer than thia year. During the past few days the windows of the Hood Kiver stores, as up to date or more so perhaps as any or a town or the same size in the United States, have taken on a wonderful change. Oregon grape wreaths form borders, edgings and backgrounds for wonderful arrays of gifts. Wreaths of holly, fresh from the greenhouses or forests, add a touch ot vivid dark green. The poinsetttia, flower of the Christmas season, flames its greetings. The Christmas spirit is already in the air. Within the small bounds or Hood River business district, Oak street and State and the side streets from second to Fourth, much business will be trans acted this week and next, and up on the Heights along Twelfth street mer chants are greeting their patrons with displays, significant of the season of good cheer. The Glacier will take the prospective shopper on a round of the business streets of the city, and thus furnish a Christmas directory. beginning on Uak street at the cor ner of Fourth the first impression is made when one looks at the great as sortment of shoes, suits, hats and caps n the first big show window. In the ventral show window are articles, too numerous to mention, that will delight the hearts of the Hood River young Bters. Dolls, teddy bears, mechanical toys, wagons, make this store Santa Claus headquarters. What one sees in the windows is but a trine ot the samples of the main stock of the big Paris fair store. On the main floor are furnishings of every description for men and women, dry goods, perfumery, soaps, gloves, toilet articles and sun dry notions. The toy department.where a child can spend the day in pleasure, and the miMlinery department are on the second floor. Proceeding down Oak street to the east one reaches the 5, 10 and 15 cent store, another home for Santa Claus. ThiB emporium for holiday goods at a reasonable price and yet substantial, will draw the kiddies by the scores the next few days. The 5, 10 and 15 cent store makes a specialty of candies, pur chasing sweets by the ton. what would be more acceptable lor Christmas gift now than a good pair of shoeB or a comfortable pair of bed room slippers or moccasins, these gifts for daddy and the boya and in moccasins for the whole family are found in the shoe store of J. C. John sen. Mr. Jofinsen advises bis custom ers to make their purchases now and avoid the rise that is taking place in all lines of leather goods. Milady will look with wishing eyes at the great assortment of perfumery that is to be round at the corner uia- cier pharmacy of C. N. Clarke. Mr. Clarke is making a specialty of Christ mas perfumes. He also handles an ex cellent line of candies in box and bulk. Here one may purchase for the eastern or middle western inena a dox oi Hood River apple bona. The shopper may rest at Mr. Clarke's soda fountain and refresh himself with the hot drinks provided there.

And a full line of all of these appetiz;ng fruits and dainties are found in the new store oi a. c naesser in the Smith building. Mr. Kaesser's show windows are always attractive.

The store affords the prospec tive BhoDDer the opportunity ef buying those things that will carry back to his eastern friends and relatives articles that will tell some of the story of the Hood River valley. Here one may buy the new book of rhymes, "Rhymes of Our Vallev." bv Anthony H. Euwer. Here is found photographs of the Hood River valley, Mount Hood and the L-o lumbia River Highway. Slocom & Can field have recently added a line of in expensive but handsome art calendars each bearins an artistic photograph ol gome Hood River valley scene. For local friends, the giver may purchase from the extensive stock of late pic tures and nrints of the old masters, In the same building with Slocom & Canfield is found the old reliable gift store of the Hood River valley. When one wants an article that will last throughout a generation and then be handed down to daughter and son and thence to grandchildren, he or she pur chases some of the exquisite sterling silverware that is displayed by Mr, I.tftaway.

Mr. Cram's store and his big windows were among the first 10 take on the appearance significant of the Christmas spirit. The windows were early filled with gifts appropriate for men. women, little boys and little ffirls. A mere man shopper can tell the women of Hood River but little of the woman a side of the Cram atore. They already know, and you will find them there calling for the newest high class materials used by the fair ones in making op their garments.

The new buildings were formally dedicated at a meeting held last night at the new high school auditorium, where one of the city's most enthusiastic audiencea as assembled to bear the addresses of congratulation. A new sense of pride as manifest in the faces of the stu dents of the different schools, and the enthusiasm of their children was reflect in the expressions of mothers and fathers. The meeting was character' ized by a general feeling of gratification. Those participating in the formal program were: Hiss Lillian crock, M. Warren. Geo. A. Wueat. Mrs. W. F. Rand, president of the Parent-Teacher ssociation; Dr. C. H. Jenkins, chair man or the school board; Prof. Mc Laughlin, city school superintendent: Prof. Crites. principal of the High school ; Floyd Wright, president of the gh school student body; J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of edu cation ; Prof. Gibson, county school su perintendent; Mrs. Pauline Miller Chapman and Mrs. C. E. Coffin. Rev. A. MacDonald pronounced the invo cation. Experts in primary scheol construc tion, who have visited the Coe primary school, declare that it is a model in every particular. The new high school annex, it is declared, will enable the school to become doubly efficient in the departments of industrial education hich it will house. Hood River's pride may be displayed n her local builders ; for both new edi fices were erected by local contracting firms. Stranahan & Slavens built the high school annex, while Frederick & mold were the builders of the Coe primary school. Both firms of builders are to be congratulated on the excel lence of their work, and the structures ill endure as monuments to their craftsmanship. We have something of which all or in Hood River will be proud for years to come," says Dr. Jenkins, "but best of all, at least the most gratifying to us who urged the construction of the new builidngs, is the general backing we have had from the people of Hood River. .As soon as the bond fight was over, even those who opposed us oa this issue, got behind us, and gave ua their support and encouragement, and today one hears the new school struc tures spoken of practically unanimous ly as our schools.' "Too much credit for the good work done in the construction of the new schools cannot be given Prof.McLaugb- n and C. J. Crandall, of The Dalles, the latter our architect. Mt. Crandall worked faithfully to the end that we might get just what we wanted and needed. We gained much through the generalship of Mr. Crandall and Prof. McLaughlin. One of the men of Hood Kiver who worked the hardest and most conscien tiously for the new school buildings was Frank A. Cram, chairman of the school board at the time of the election bonds. Accordingly Mr. Cram can take a just pride in the new school tructures. "I am glad," says Mr. Cram, "that we have accomplished our aims. It is gratifying to us who were on the school board to know that our work today has the approval of the patrons of the dis trict. We have got our money s worth." "We are wonderfully pleased with the new buildings," says Mrs. Alma Howe, who is serving her second term on the school board, "and now that we have better facilities we are going to have better schools. 1 take an equal pride in the two new school buildings, for they both fill a need. Before I have finished let me express an appreciation of the work of Mr. Cram as a member of our board at the time of the cam paign to secure the new structures. Mr. Cram studied the needs or the city schools and he pot in bis best efforts for the new schools because he sincere- believed there was a need for them." E. O. Blanchar. the new member of the school board, elected after the bond election, says: I have watched with interest the construction of the school buildings. Our contractors and architect, Mr. Crandall, all have done good work. Mr. Crandall has shown this skill as a designer of school buildings and he gave the constrcution work his closest attention. The people of the school district may well feel that they have received full value for their money. Hood River county, proportionate to population, is now equipped with school buildings that will compare fa vorably with any section of Oregon. Prof. McLaughlin wishes to announce a change in the program as published last week. It was stated that at the public literary program to be rendered tonight at the high school auditorium, only students and alumni of the school would be invited. The invitation is now extended to the general public. Stu dents under the eighth grade nay at tend the meeting provided they.are ac companied by their paronts. KELLY BROS.
