W have the word of the State High
way Commission that an agreement
between the Commission and theO.-W.
R. ft N. Co. reUtive to a right of way
for the Columbia Highway between
here and Moeier will be reached in the
near future. The Commission realizes
the importance of this link of the
Highway, and only after a careful ex
amination was the river grade route
chosen.
While many Hood River people early
in the fall expressed to the State High
way Commission a hope that the east
ern extension of the highway might
penetrate far enough into the orchard
districts that the touring motorist
would be able to witness the panorama
of orchards, the river route was select
ed because of its practicability. Hood
River people expressed themselves as
satisfied with the results of the ulti
mate decision, and every day one hears
someone express the hope that the
matters betweea the Commission and
the railway company will reach a
speedy and satisfactory conclusion.

There will be no embargo on Santa
Clans. Time was when the mark
"made in Germany" was the proper
credential for a toy in this country,
but that's all gone now. German dolls
are "verboten." Other countries are
too busy for toy making, and ifthey
weren't, , ship space would be needed
for something else. There will be no
toys from the Orient because of the
demand for steamers. But the Liberty
toys.'.made by clever and nimble Amer
ican fingers, Sammy dolls, Red Cross
dolls, Pershing dolls and Hoover dolls,
are already arriving.
Let Oregon pause for a moment in
the sorrowful meditation that grief
brings. Oregon has lost one of her
first citizens, a man who fought for
what he considered the right, whatever
the odds. Thirty has sounded for J.
F. Carroll, editor and publisherjfor so
many years of the Portland Evening
Telegram. ,
Here's one of the best slogans we
have heard. Try it on your friends.
It was sent the Glacier by that veteran
newspaper man and optimist, Albert
Tozier :
Reduce the eat in wheat and meat
And toot the tute in substitute.
Clean up that unsightly rubbish back
of your building and thus eliminate a
dangerous fire menace.
Apple Freight Increace Protested
At a conference Tuesday fruit ship
pers decided to send a strong delega
tion to Portland tomorrow, when apple
men from all Northwestern districts
will meet with Frank J. Miller, of the
Public Service Commission, for the
purpose of initiating arguments to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
against the proposed IS pr cent feight
increase on apples. The Commission
will begin the hearing of the railway
companies' petition for the increased
revenue December 17.
Fruit men declare that apple price
increases have not been proportionate
to the increased cost of productiionand
that freght increase asked by the rail
roads will strike a serious blow at the
industry.
Record Rain Last Thursday
The heaviest 24 hour rainfall since
weather observation bureaus were es
tablished here prevailed for the period
of that length ending at five o clock
Thursday night. The precipitation,
according to the records of Observer
Birge, was 2.08 inches. Local streams
which have been at record low stages
the past fall, became torrents. No
damage resulted, however, because of
the deep canyons.
Batten Wins Again
