CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
PREVADES CITY

ILA SMITH-DEAN
The Christmas Gift Store
Pretty and useful gifts, fancy work, hand painted
china, a line of beautiful linen handkerchiefs, flowers,
birds of paradise; many other useful and beautiiui
nuvemes.
dows and shelves display numerous ar
ticles of fancy work, dressed dolls and
painted china, such as one will find in
the high class fine art shop of larger
cities.
On Oak street between Third and
Fourth one approaches first the tobacco
and confectionery store of Pat Lindsey.
Mr. Lindsey this year is making a spe
cial appeal to women who are seeking
gifts for men friends who enjoy the
aolace of the weed. A good cigar or a
fine pipe pleases a tobacco using man
perhaps more than anything that can
be gives twn, and Mr. Lindsey baa lit
eracy loaded bis store with such arti
cles. The old joke of Christmas cigars
dose not apply in this case. . Mr. Lind
sey offers the best smokes.
The confectionery aeparimeni 01
fat's place will interest the boys, for
be has an excellent assortment of fine
box candy.
Headed west one next approaches the
Star .Grocer of Perigo & Son, where
the usual good things of an up to date
irrocery store may be found, and Hood
Kiver people all agree that no more up
to date grocery can be found anywhere
than the Star Grocery. Perigo & Son
this year have something out of the
ordinary to offer Hood River people
a batrel of real, farm-made, Indiana
sorghum molasses. There is nothing
better than good sorghum, and we pre
dict that this supply will last but a
abort time. The molasses waa shipped
to Hood Kiver by J. W. Perigo, senior
member of the firm, who is visiting in
Indiana.
For the most part people eat their
Christmas dinners at home, with
friends or relatives. L. V. Driscoll,
the restauranteur, however, baa offered
to help prepare the Christmas dinner.
Mr. Driscoll is ready to supply pastries
and cakea of all kinds. He baa also
quipped a delicatessen department at
his restaurant.
One of the most important thing of
Christmas time is the meat for Christ
mas dinner. Some people prefer a
goose, others a turkey, some a duck,
tut the time honored custom of old
England ia to serve roast beef.
Whatever your choice, you will find it,
and the best of it, at Fill' meat mar
ket Toe shopper has finished bia circuit
sr ben ha reacbea the atore of the Con
solidated Mercantile Co. The windows
of this atore have been attracting a
great deal of attention. "Brick" Laf-
ferty some oi these days is liable to be
snapped up by some big city depart
ment store and impressed 'as a window
decorator. "Brick"' hasj,made from
cranberries, rice and. sugar one of the
neatest semblances of.a Christmas seen
in Hood River. The Consolidated in
Hnod.River and atjs Odellstore, offers
its customers an unlimited variety of
the best groceries.
Yasui Bros., whose main place of
business is at the corner of Oak and
First streets, have opened their Third
treet store, and here the Christmas
chopper will find scores (of articles
inade.by skilled craftsmen of the Flow
jry Kingdom. . Yasui'Bros. handle the
iurable wooden toys of the land of the
Mikado, uniquely painted wares, china
aie, silk shirtwaist patterns, brass
ware, carved.woodenware. Little Ori
ental dollies peep at the visitor from
nooka and niches. 1 At Yasui Bros.'
store one finds those bamboo baskets of
quaint pattern, and the shopper will be
aole to obtain at the most reasonable
figure many curios of the far East,
gifts that are very J attractive and
pleasing to the western world recipient.
Down on Third street, between Oak
and Cascade will be found the tailor
shop ofLJ. C.'Meyer, formerly Dale &
Meyer. ";Mr. Meyer tailors clothes for
both men and women, and no gift, be
the donee a man or'woman, ia more ac
ceptable than a finely tailored suit.
Mr. Meyer ia a master of bis trade.
The man or woman who wanta clothes
of distinction should give Mr. Meyer a
call. Mr. Meyer makes suits, over
coats and cloaks. And even though you
do not need a new suit for the begin
ning of the new year, you will want
your old suits cleaned. This work is
done at Mr. Meyer's establishment.
To add to the attractiveness of your
home on Christmas day, of course you
will want a pretty, brightening bou
quet. You can obtain the same here in
Hood River. Just as shoppers in met
ropolitan centers are able, whn they
have made their purchases, to step into
a florist's, provided with tempting dis
plays, so can be or she do bere in Hood
Kiver. for Geo. Haslinger, the Heights
Greenhouse man, has opened a Christ
mas flower store in the First Natiorul
Bank building. Mr. Haslinger will
offer all species of potted plants, and
he will have as well cut (lowers, vio
lets, carnations, etc., all ready for the
hurried shopper.

ACTION OF COURT
MEETS DISAPPROVAL
The eounty court ia in a quandary.
To offset a recent action on the Dart
of the residents of the city, who by
voting on a charter amendment, ex
cluded from the municipal bounds the
steel bridge across Hood River and a
stretch of road expensive of mainten
ance. the eounty eourt provided in year's
budget that money to be used in the
maintenance and eonstruction of roads
the coming year ahoold be raised under
the general fund. Thus the city would
be taxed but could not call for an ap
portionment of the funda unless the
court were willing. When the monies
destined for road appropriationa are
raiaed under a road fund, the law pro
vides tbat 70 per cent of the aame must
be expended in respective road districts
providing it, while the court can ex
pend the remainder on any highways in
the eounty.
ibe members of the court anticipat
ed an approval of their action in the
general fund levy from county constitu
ents, but rural reeidenta are expressing
a sentiment in opposition, since tbe
court, if tbe road money ia raised
through the general fund, may expend
the money at whatever point is chosen.
despite protests of respective districts.
At a recent special meeting of tbe
county court, held to consider the prop
osition mat tne county be divided Into
two road districts, instead of the 12
existing, opposing sentiment was so
strong that the matter waa dropped.
Those opposing the move declare tbat
such action would give the members of
the court too great a power in the ap
portionment of road funds. The rural
element that fought the former plan
will be present at tbe approaching
budget meeting of tbe court, to be held
Dec. 28. and will oppose tbe county
court's move to get even with tbe city.

Friday
One day only. Cbarlea Chaplin in the
latest Mutual release, "Ibe Rink."
Released Dec. 1). The only new Chap
lin on tbe market. Charley's fet, aa
usual, play a big part in Ibe picture.
Few of bia admirera have been aware
tbat he ia an expert roller akater; al
most as much at home on ball bearings
as in the big floppy aboes tbat have
side stepped him to fame on the film.
Hia feet are what enablea him to draw
$670,000 a year.
Saturday
One day only. "A Woman's Fight.
Geraldine O'Brien, tbe Broadway fa
vorite who atara in "A Woman's
Fight" baa stamina, nerve and a
punch t Tbe picture proves it. Except
in the piise fight film tbat the law
forbida nowadaya, there ia nowhere on
the screen such an exhibition of fistic
prowess aa Miss O'Brien displaya in a
certain scene in "A Woman'a Fight."
Admirera who know Miss O'Brien as a
gentle stage favorite, cannot have sus
pected that she was ao "bandy with
ber mita." Beyond a doubt this usu
ally passive young woman went into
special training for tbe picture.
Miss O'Brien plsys a factory worker
who decidea to take the part of another
factory girl, very young and very
slight, who is much picked upon by a
third factory girl. Ibe latter ia brawny
and a friend of tbe boss. That makes
no difference to Mias O'Brien, who
won't have ber little friend eternally
abused. She lands on the boss' friend.
The friend launches a counter offensive.
Miss O'Brien meets it. You'll get so
interested you'll hold your breath.

ob on the ranch of ber father, Big Bill

ous of Algy with good reason and de
termines to finish him by fair means or
foul. Hia opportunity soon arrives.
He and Algy are sent with $25,000 on a
horse buying expedition and Buck con
nives with a "stick up" man to steal
the gold. Petekins, the butler, who
haa followed his young master with an
extra blanket, overhears the plan, but
before he can warn Algy he is forced
to take refuge in an old ice-house,
where a treacherous door swings shut
and he is imprisoned. The plan works
out. Charlie, tbe bandit, holds up Algy
in Buck's absence and makes him leave
a note confessing the crime, after
which be breaks for the Mexican bor
der, taking Algy and the money. Buck
follows them, quarrels with Charlie
over the loot and tbe two thievea kill
each other. Algy takea the money and
starts back for the ranch. Hia confes
sion haa meanwhile been found and a

fused. Tbe grocers declare that the demand
for the local product bad become neg
ligible because of an alleged poor

Creamery men declare that experts
have pronounced the quality of tbe
local product second to none, and

just as consistent in handling Wenat
chee apples as be ia in selling exclu
sively butter manufactured out of

legislature pass a bill providing that
automobiles be not taxed by county
assessors, but tbat they be taxed by
a heavy license fee, the funds to be
used exclusively for highway construe
tion, was voted down. The assembled
commissioners opposed this movement
arguing that no property should be ex
empted from assessment. But the
county officials went even further and
voiced a protest against raising funds
for exclusive road construction by the
levy of a heavy fee on automobiles.
Leslie Butler was also present at the
meetings of the officials.
