Ravlin, chairman of the execu tive committee of the Good Roads As sociation, in reply to opponents of the $6,000,000 bonding act, who advance the argument that the people have no assurance that some future legislature may not rescind the special license tax on automobiles, cites section 12 of the bonding act and declares that the measure, if adopted, will tie the auto mobile license bill absolutely to itself as a contract between the state and purchasers of bonds. The point was discussed by Mr. Rav lin and State Senator Wilbur, and the latter agreed that the point was tena ble. "This argument," says Mr. Ravlin, "will, I think, win many recruits for the big roads building measure. Here tofore the only reply that one had, when the question was raised that fu ture legislative assemblies might re scind the motor license law was to ar gue that such a procedure, after the bonding act was finally voted on by the people, by the legislature would not be probable. Under section 12 of the bill itself the prospective purchasers of bonds issued under proposed measure are guaranteed that the interest and principal ot the bonds will be raised by the special automobile licenses. If any attempt is ever made to change the law, the bondholders may prevent such action by mandamus proceedings." Sentiment in favor of the road bond ing act is growing fast here. The names on the roster of the Good Roads Association, membership lists being circulated throughout different sections of the county, are being increased by scores daily. At the regular meeting of the Commercial club Monday night, a plan was devised whereby the mem bers of the organization would assist the newly formed roads organization. The city will be divided into small sec tions and a personal canvass will be made to ascertain the sentiment of in dividuals. The Woman's club has en dorsed the movement, and Mrs. W. F. Lara way, president of the organiza tion, has announced that she will ap point a committee ot two to work with the executive committee of the Good Roads Association. Every precinct of the county will be combed by the committeemen of the Good Roads Association, and every en deavor to make the slogan, "Make it Unanimous," effective will be made. Senatoi Wilbur delivered an address yesterday afternoon before the mem bers of the Woman's club, who met in their annual reception to the women of the rural communities of the valley.

Helen Chadwick at the Gem Friday and Saturday in "The Challenge " A WIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITY DISPLAYED Because of the construction of new business houses, the remodeling of old structures and general work that is now in progress here, every laborer and carpenter in the city is at present employed. 5I tried," says A. S. Keir, "for several hours the other day to secure the services of a carpenter in making some changes at my place of business. Everybody was busy, and my work had to le postponed for a week. More than a half dozen of the lead ing places of business are making lib eral appropriation for remodeling and making other improvements. The demand for labor here is ex pected to exceed the supply throughout the year. The county court last week let a $2,000 road contract to J. G. Fair fowl, of Dee, and this new work will begin at an early date. At an approx imate cost of $15,000 two new bridges will be built by the county in the Dee vicinity this year. The rad contract let to Mr. Fairfowl calls for the con struction of a mile of new highway near Dee. The Mount Hood Railway Co. is lay ing two miles of new track to penetate the timberland of the Oregon Lumber Co. on the headwaters of the West Fork. Mcdonald builds cheap spary tower Tower spraying, a new method for the Hood Rive valley will be followed by many Hood River orchard is ts this season. Leroy Childs, in his investi gations of the effects of srpays on ap ple scab last season, found that apples at the tops of old trees, where but for the prevalence of the fyrngus the fruit should have been most perfect, were seriously affected. Strong winds usu ally prevail during the spraying sea sons, and Mr. Childs declares that it is impossible to properly reach the high branches of fruit trees with leads of hose operated from the ground. D. McDonald, devising a tower that can be constructed on power spray ma chines at a moderate cost, has created a keen interest among growers. vThe added cost of a substantial tower for the spraying machine has been the source oi worry for growers. Mr. Mc Donald's tower, which growers declare will be practical, will cost less than $5. Two upright timbers, two by four inches, are bolted to each end of the tank of the sprayer. Convenient, broad stairs, on which the operator stands, are bolted to these pieces. The up right picees, intersecting like the sides of an isosceles triangle, are joined by a fifth two by four piece, giving the tower the appearance of an elongated sawhorse. The man operating the lead of hoae from the tower is enabled to maintain his equilibrium by straddling the connecting top cross pieces. The newly constructed tower was demonstrated to numerous apple grow ers by Mr. McDonald at his Cascade avenue place of business last Satur day. Knights Templar Will Observe Easter The members of Hood River Com mandery. Knights Templar, will par ticipate in their annual observance of Easter Sunday at the Riverside Con gregational church, where the pastor, Rev. M. L. Hutton, will preach a ser mon'especially torthe Sir Knighta. Easter Sunday this year falls on April 8. MRS. CASTNER'S ' FUNERAL SUNDAY The funeral services of the late Mrs. Geo. R.

The members of Canby Post last Saturday afternoon adopted the follow ing resolution of condolence for their comrade and former commander, Mr. Castner : Canby Post, No. 16, Department of Oregon, G. A. R., March 10, 1917. Whereas, We learn with profound regret of the great affliction which has overtaken our Comrade G. R.
