L. Smith, who was present for the nomination of Abraham Lincoln by the National Republican convention in May, 1860. The spirit of Lincoln, pre server of the Union, who sprang from the great mass of the American people, is happy, we know, today aa be sees the strong bonds of American citizen ship lightening from Maine to Califor nia and from Michigan to Louisiana. Lincoln, the great helmsman.steered the mighty Ship of State clear of a wreck, although a terrible internecine warfare was necessary. The wounds from Mars' lancet have all been healed, a reunited people stood shoulder to shoul der two decades ago, and again, when it seems that the contagion of a world war must inevitably be visited on the land of Columbia, Americans are speak ing as one. We have been accused of a trend toward easy going indifference, of having become worshippers at no shrine but Mammon's. But the hidden fire of patriotism has been kindled in hearts the land over, and today with millions of American flags flung to the winds, the chinooks of Oregon, the soft breathing Spring zephyrs of the South landthe more wintry blsst of the Inter Mountain districts and the salt laden breezes coming in off the Pacific, American citizenship, her men and her women, with prayers that his decisions may be wise, await in calm readiness the action of President Wilson. In Hood River, as in numerous other American communities, a portion of our citizenship, our best citizenship, is made up of natives or sons and daugh ters of natives of the Fatherland. We see them answer the call of duty from their adopted land and just as with us who are imbued with an added inborn love of the land that gave us birth they, too, have accepted the American flag, and if necessary, these Germans so many of whom have come among us, tell us that they will give up their lives, if need be, in maintaining from the blot of dishonor the Stars and Stripes. It is but natural that those of the Fatherland should have a feeling of sympathy for their old home, and the ex pressions of American loyalty that we hear coming personally from the lips of our local citizens of German ancestry and as voiced by the German-American press of this country, arouses our deep est respect and admirtion. While the posmbpiitics of diverting an actual war with Germany are diminishing, a con templation of what it may mean keeps alive the hope that some means may arise whereby American honor may be maintained and a conflict avoided. If fight we must, American spirit is ready. If the state of Washington had not abolished the law providing capital punishment, E. W. Olsen, chairman of the Industrial Insurance Commission of that state, would probably not have been assassinated last week by John Vandell, a logger maddened because of a failure-to collect a claim for injuries. The existing law can save the life of the murderer but can not bring back one of Washington's foremost citizens. Vandell committed the cold-blooded deed with a revolver which he had pur chased a few moments before the shooting from a hardware store. Washington.s legislature is now in ses sion. The tragedy should point at least the way to one bill needed in that state, namely legislation that will prohibit the sale of revolvers. If the groundhog, following time honored custom, emerges from his win ter burrow at the moment of high noon, to ascertain if the sun is shining, the Mid-Columbia is due a respite from the grasp of Boreas soon, for the heav ens were thickly clouded last Friday at the stroke of 12, and a heavy rain was falling. The ground hog could not have seen his shadow. At intervals during the morning, however, the sun gleamed fitfully through the mists. Friday morning's rain followed a three inch snow the previous night, and the prophetic marmot, engaged in his annual prognostications, necessarily had to tunnel up through a blanket of the beautiful. Senator Wilbur, it must be remem bered, is captain of our artillery eom panv, and has an eye to business. His bill, providing for a moratorium on sol dier's debts, will have the effect of making all of us recruit. A freindless, age unknown, tattered old man passed away in Oregon yester day. It was John Barleycorn. More of jov than of weeping follows the death. Us a wise legislator who knows when to withdarw a bill and Senator Wilbur has wisdom. Oregonian.

Dr. Lindley will talk on "The New Pioneer." Vommrcil Printing t Glacier office SMITH CONTINUES ROAD DISCUSSION (By Roy D. Smith.) Our article on this subject two weeks aco save a brief history of road building in the past, reaching far back In the history ot nations and peoples who have been gathered to their fathers. Nothing but a memory U left of many of those countries which were builders of roads. Thus we find that Home was the master builder of roads among all the na tions of antiquity. She borrowed the art from a conquered nation tuo Carthagenians. From them, too, she learned the art of ship building. With these arts Bhe was able to rule and dictate the politics ot the known world for over a thousand years. When Rome reached the highest place in the niche of fame under the reign of Augustus Caesar she had a magnificent system of national mm tary highways extending to every part of her vast empire. It is stated by historians that Rome had as much aa 50,000 miles or mag nificent roadway reaching to the remotest parts of her great empire. 'Tis said that no less than 29 of these great military roads radiated from the imperial city itself. Roman construction was extremely massive. The Appian Way is said to have been in good repair after 800 years of neglect. Now let us move down the corri dors of time a little. The modern Impetus was given road-building just about the close of our great Civil War. The rock crusher was invent ed by EU Whitney Blake of New Ha ven, Conn. The first steam roller used in the United States was Imported from England in 1868 and was used tn the arsenal grounds of Philadelphia. Auto Brings New Problem. Thus we see the real beginning of road building in the united States. The macadam waterbound rock an swered all purposes, but with the coming of the automobile there was presented an entirely new problem n road construction. The world awoke to the fact that the roads which had stood for a century or more soon went to pieces under this new traffic condition. The solution of this problem la not entirely set tled as yet. Warrenlte is beyond the shadow of a doubt the best and most durable road material under these new conditions, and they guarantee it for only about 10 years. So we can plainly see that the pilgrimage t.v wards the Mecca of the perfect road has not ended yet. Let us reason together on this vital question, remembering that we are all vitally interested. The que tion is not to be solved by the master stroke of some genius, but it is my humble judgment that it will be ac complished by hard reasoning mixed with good common sense and patient endeavor on the part of those in authority bb well as the people them- solveft. The old saying that Rome was not built in a day is quite true, And so is this question one which is economic and to be solved in a col lective and community way. It can not be the work of one day. -Laying Out the Roads In considering this subject it Is well to not lose sight of some well- known principles which will of neces sity have to be considered. One of the very first is cost. Next is the geography and topography of our county, also the lines of traffic. The maxim should be followed after this rise, "The greatest good to the great est number." Now in order to fol low this rule it may become neces sary for some persons to sacrifice what may appear to them as a per sonal benefit. For example, the County Court may perhaps build a piece of hardsurface road, but we cannot all expect to have it built In front of our individual property nor on the road which we may travel to town. This matter must, of course, have to be settled by our Court and they will be forced to build it in a place to accomodate the largest amount of traffic and where best suit ed to that) kind of construction. We of the West Side are perfectly willing to let the East Side be the pioneer in this manner of construc tion as we did in the matter of the first macadam that was built in the county. So far so good, and we hope that the East Side will join hands with us and show the same willing spirit and forget self interest. Old System Is Discarded. About seven years ago we emerged from the antiquated system of work ing the county roads with a poll tax, each person going out at a stated time, doing a little work and lots of visiting with the net result that our roads seemed to begin at no particu lar place and run in any old direc tion, always following the line of least resistanace. But just about thib time a new system was inaugurated all over the county. Each district was alloted a certain amount of mon ey and men were hired by the day to perform road work the same as work ing for any private individual. I will say that a marked improvement was noticeable throughout the county and I feel that everyone will admit that in the past eight years our county roads have shown a marked improvement. This was a step in the right direc tion. I am not asserting that we are out of the fog, but we are a little ahead of where we were then. (Continued next week.) Tweedy Nay Get Pension Judge A. C. Buck has received a communication fiom Representative in .J. Mnnott, who announces that the Ixwer House of Congress has passed a bill that provides an increase of the pension or T. D. Tweedy to $40 per month. Mr. Tweedy, a member of Canby Post. G. A' R.. was a member of a Missouri regiment. Last spring, following a sprained ankle, he suttered a stroke of paralysis. F. H. BUckman's Father Dead F. H. Blackman, a prominent East Side orchardist. received word vester- day of the death of his father, H. tsiacKman at Kenosha, Wis. burial will be held at the family cemetery at Kenosha. Mr. Blackman is well known in Hood River, having spent the autumn of 1914 here with the family of his son. Indian George Again Lest it spoil everything by shouting too early that "Spring has came," the 'Donald Record cautiously remarks: "Old Indian Georsre is the subiect of much criticism just at present on account ot his predictions of a hard winter ; but it must be borne in mind that it is not too late yet for some real nasty weather. It will be remembered that eprinsr came at least six times last year before it decided to remain with us." DEATH OF MRS. LUCAS MOURNED Mrs. J. P. Lucas, aged 59 years and prominent in Oregon Stats Federation of Women's Club eircles, passed away at her home here at six o'clock Sunday morninsr. Mrs. Lucas, following an operation in Portland, has been in a critical condition for the past several weeks. Mrs. Lucas was president last vear of the Hood River Womens Club. Mrs. Lucas' maiden name was Olivia Wallace. She was a member of a pio neer Oregon family, having been born 18 miles from Portland in Washington county. She bad been twice married. first to the late Geo. P. Morgan, of The Dalles. Following his death she and Mr. Lucas were wed The greater portion of Mrs. Lucas's life was spent at Antelope and The Dalles. She taught for a number of years at the latter city and at Cascade Locks. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Lu cas is survived by the following three sisters and two brothers : Mrs. Minnie Herbert, of Baker ; Mrs. C I. Winnek, of Fort Klamath; Mrs. J. H. Oakes, of Boise, Ida. ; Fred Wallace, of Tum alo, and Charles Wallace, ot' Canby. A short funeral service was conduct ed at the home here Tuesday morning, Rev. D. V. Poling, pastor of the Con gregational church at The Dalles, offi ciating. The body was then taken to The Dalles, Mrs. Lucas' old home, where a longer service was held, inter ment following at The Dalles cemetery. A large number of people of this city was present at the local services, Mrs. Lucas having been known for her work in civic betterment and in char ity. Mrs. Chas. H. Henney rendered solo selections. Pall bearers, all of them formerly pupils of Mrs. Lucas when she taught at The Dalles, were : Frank A. Cram, E. P. Michell, Truman Butler. Chas. N. Clarke, Dr. C. H. Jenkins and C. D. Nickelsen. Beautiful floral offerings from friends, the local chapter of the East ern Star, of which Mrs. Lucas was a member, and from the Woman's Club, were placed around the bier. All of Mrs. Lucas, sisters and broth ers, with the exception of Mrs. Win nek, who had been called back to her home, were here for the funeral ser vices. The funeral was conducted by S. E. Bartmess. The following memorial was pre pared by the Woman.s Club: "Today we are saddened by the thought of the home that death has entered and our heads are bowed in sorrow at the loss of our beloved Mrs. Lucas, who has passed beyond the bourne of time and space and entered into the joys of eternal life. The sweet influence of her life remains with us and the noble example of generous helpfulness and deep sympathy and charity for all shall ever be in our lov ing memories. Her devotion to duty and the best things of life, her unsel fish service so freely given, inexpress ibly endeared her to alt who knew her. To the bereaved ones we extend our condolence and heartfelt sympathy, and pray that the future may not be sad dened by this great loss but brightened by the memory of her beautiful, heroic life. The Hood River Woman's Club, Mrs. W. W. Rodwell, Mrs. J. O. McLaughlin, Mrs. Charles Castner. MAYOR ASKS FOR DISPLAY OF FLAGS Following the example set by the members of Twelfth Co., C. A. C, who have flung to the breezes a huge American flag over the Armory build ing, Stars and Stripes big and little, were unfurled here today with a great er spirit of partiotism than has ever been displayed on the Fourth of July. The display of flags followed a procla mation issued by Mayor Dumble. The Mayor's proclamation follows: "To the Citizens of Hood Rive: "At this critical juncture in the his tory of our great Union, it behooves the municipality of Hood River, and its residents as individual American citizens to make public expression of a firm stand in support of the policies of our President, and to me, it seems that this feeling of patriotism may well be evidenced by a display of the Stars and Stripes, the beloved emblem of free dom and liberty. . "Therefore, I proclaim that the Amercan flag be displayed from the buildings of all loyal fraternal institu tions, puolic buildings and from as many private homes as possible. "But with the issuance of this pro clamation I would warn our citizens against any hysteria, against any un guarded talk that might tend to stir racial animosities. Citizens of America are fancing one of the gravest situa tions ever confronting them, and their expressions should be guided by calm deliberation. II. L. Dumble, Mayor of Hood River. ' COURT CONSIDERS INSPECTION FUND The time of the Hood River county court was taken up yesterday with a discussion of an appropriation for use of the county fruit inspector the coming season. LeRoy Childs, acting superintendent of the local branch of the Oregon Experiment Station, de clared that funds expended on an in spector's work formed good insurance. While a sentiment in favor of increas ing the budget of $600 for the inspec tion work prevails, most of the numer ous orchardists present seemed to think that the sum already set aside would be sufficient. While two applicants, G. H. Robbins and Elmer Lafferty, presented the court with formal petitions, numerous others have expressed an aspiration for the job at $600 per year. Prof. L. F. Henderson, who recently tendered his resignation as fruit in spector, has proposed to the court to retain the office, provided the sum of $2,000 were made available for the work of inspection. In case this offer was not accepable to the court, Prof. Henderson stated that he would work for 10 months at $100 per month, if the county would pay his expenses. An appointment will be made today. William Kennedy is Dead The funeral of the late William Ken nedy, a pioneer orchardist of the East Side community, bavinsr formerly own ed what is now known as the Mineral Springs tract of the Davidson Fruit Co.. will be held today at the ETave- side at Pine Grove cemetery. Mr. Ken nedy passed away luesday at hts home in Vancouver, Wash., where he has re sided for the past several years. Mr. Kennedy was 58 years of age. The funeral will be conducted by C C Anderson.

The players making the trip were Floyd Wright, Selman Gassaway, Lee Spaulding, Robert Henderson, Leon Bentley Charles Johnson, Roy Dark, Karl Vondei Ahe and Coach Cohoon. Lowell Nickelsen was not able to play but gave the team his moral support by accompanying them It might have been different, White Salmon, if Nick had played.

Small spent Sun day morning on Hood River. On Sun day afternoon J. H. Fredricy visited his old familiar haunts. Paying the death penalty for the trouble they caused, three muskrats temporarily closed down two of Hood River's largest industrial plants last week and O.-W. R . N. trains, all of which usuallv stop here for water, were forced to fill their tanks at Wyeth and The Dalles On Tuesday of last week the ditch of the water power system constructed a number of years ago by Joseph A. Wilson but now owned by the Apple Growers Association broke and allowed the reservoir on the Heights where the family of amphibi ous rodents made their home to run dry. The penetrating cold weather apparently drove the animals into the outlet pipe and when the water was again turned on the rats were impris oned. From the reservoir to the level of the business and factory Boction of the city is a drop of more than 200 feet and the bodies of the muskrats had been driven through two inch pipes. The bones of the animals had been crushed. At the blacksmith and wagon factory of W. G. Snow one of the plants stopped when the water power was shut otf a part of the crushed body of a muskrat being driven a distance of a half foot into a half inch pipe. The Hood River Apple Vinegar Co., where five big hydraulic presses daily squeeze the juice from Hood River ap ples, was the other place of business closed by one of the unfortunate ro dents. D. C. Kautz, superintendent of the water system, has been on the watch for further trouble from imprisoned muskrats. L. J. Butterfield, of the composing rooms of the Hood River Glacier, has a big torn cat that he says he will match against all comers. The cat has licked all other felines of the portion of the city in which his owner resides. Mr. Butterfield reports a battle royal one night last week in iB basement, when a stray, gray cat, larger than the black, invaded the latter's domain. "I was on the point of going down and taking a hand myself' says Mr. Butterfied, "for the noise of the fray had awakened the babies. But the noise ceased, and I had forgotten the night battle until the next morning, when I found a dead gray torn cat as I was gathering up an armful of wood. Mrs. J. R. Nickelsen, of Alderbrook farm, iust west of this city on the Co lumbia River Highway, when she belled her pet cat to prevent him from catching China pheasants, thought she had solved a problem that might be as useful to the Portland City Council, the members of which have recently been involved in a discussion of the cat-bird question. - "But my method has its drawbacks," says Mrs. Nickelsen. "While I be lieve it would suffice as a warning to the birds, the tinkling of the bell on my cat worried a neighboring family almost into distraction, i "1 was reporting my method of pre venting my cat from slaughtering Chi nese pheasants to a meeting of neigh boring women. 'Well, I know now what that was in our attic for the past several nights,' said Mrs. E. E. Schmocker, one of our near neighbors. 'I had been leaving an outside win dow to the attic open, in order that our cat might reach the place from a back porch roof and clean up the mice there. For the past several nights, we have been awakened numerous times by a mysterious tinkling of bells. Your cat was our ghost." H. I.
