Meat men introduced whale meat
in Hood River Saturday. He states
that repeat orders for roasts and steaks
of the leviathan, pouring from more
than W per cent of those who gave the
new food their first trial Saturday,
shows that whale is liked by Hood
River people.
News of the receipt of the whale
meat here has spread rapidly, and it

on hundreds of Hood River tables.
Markets announce that they will han-
.die whale meat as a staple hereafter.
Whale meat is carried both by the
Huggins and Filz Markets.
.1. A. WILSON WAS
A GREAT BOOSTER
The late Joseph A. Wilson, news of
whose death at his old home in Otierry
Tree, l'a., was received here last
week, played an imortant part in the
development of the Hood River valley's
fruit industry. Mr. Wilson, planter of
one of the earliest commercial orch
ards, was the first sales manager of
the old Hood River Fruit Growers'
Union, organized for selling the val
ley's strawberry crops before early ap
ple orchards had begun hearing. He
was ever known as one of the sineerest
boosters of the Oregon apple industry.
The orchard planted by Mr. Wilson is
now known as the lirinkhaven tract.
It is owned by the See ley-Dresser Gro
cery Co., of Portland.
In addition to his orchard develop
ments Mr. Wilson early saw the possi
bilities of water power here. He se
cured rights of the waters of Indian
creek, and constructing a (lunie, lead
ing to a liff reservoir at the edge of
the Heights, developed a water power
system of more than 2(H) horsepower.
When the property irrew to be one of
itoe most valuable in Hood River, Mr.
Wilsofi enjoyed telling how he was de
rided by neighbors when he first men
tioned his plans. The water plant, by
direct transmission of the power
through water motors, now drives the
refrigeration machinery of the Apple
Growers Association, the machinery of
the Hood River Apple Vinegar factory,
one of the largest of its kind on the
coast, the Snow-Forden machine shop
and numerous smaller manufacturing
plants. Shortly before he left here
Mr. Wilson sold his water plant to the
Apple Growers' Association for almost
$511,000.
Mr. Wilson was well known in Port
land. Until he left here in 1912 he
never failed to attend the meetings of
the Oregon Horticultural Society, of
which he was a member. His chief
hobby was baseball. No Oregonian
was ever a stronger booster of Beaver
teams than he. Mr. Wilson never
missed a game played in Portland.
His gifts of Hood River strawberries
and apples to the Portland club gave
him great popularity. He visited the
grounds and knew most of the teams
personally. Players often visited him
here.
Another idiosyncrasy of Mr. Wilson,
he lived in a tent, the sole structure of
a vacant lot, although he was one of
the wealthiest of Hood River citizens.
He did this, not through miserliness,
hut because of his health, for the sake
of the open air. However cold it got
or however deep the snow might pile
up, Mr. Wilson was never driven in
doors. Mr. Wilson's health broke down in
1912, and for this reason he left his
beloved Otfgon to be with relatives in
Pennsylvania. He is survived by a
single son, Kinports Wilson, a student
at an eastern college.
The Commercial club, of which Mr.
Wilson was one of the founders, has
adopted resolutions of respect for the
deceased pioneer orehardist.

She Was in Bed Two Months
Women suffering backache, rheu
matic pains, sore muscles, stiff joints
or any symptom of kidney trouble
should read this letter from Mrs. S. C.
Small, Clayton, N. M. : "1 had been
' under the doctor's care all summer and
in bed two months, but kept getting
worse. In January I got so bad I told
them something had to be done or I
couldn't live. We noticed an adver
tisement for Foley Kidney Pills and
sent for some. They have done me
more good than all other medicines."
Sold everywhere.
About 2,0i'h,0i0 tons, dead weight of
shipping u planned for construction
by the American government in Oregon
and Washington this year. It was pos
sible to have attained this splend.d to
tal in steel ami wood ships hail the
government placed contracts exedi
tioulsy ami given all possible encour-'
agement to the builder of the two
North Pacific states. These plans
were for aUiut l.twO.UoO tons in each
state, Oregon taking about OOO.nul tons
in wood and 400,000 in steel, and ,
Washington inO.UUU tons in steel and.
40M.00O in wood. j
To officer the steel ships planned for ;
the two states this year would require ,
more than 500 deck officers and a like
number of engine room officers. For
the wood ships more than l.uoo deck
officers will be required, and appro.ti
matley a like number of engine room
officers, or a grand total of deck and
engine room in both states this year of
well above 3,000 officers.
Steel ships will be commissioned at
the rate of 12 to 15 per month in the
near future, while the pace at which !
wood ships will go into the service will j
be greater as soon as the vessels now
commencing to be launched are well
started on the finishing stages.
Recognizing the imminent need for
officers, the government has estab
lished nautical schools, with free tui
tion in leading Northwestern cities,
one being stationed at Portland. A
six-week course is given in these
schools to men having a minimum of
18 months' actualsea experience, and
those passing the prescribed examina
tion after the course are licensed to
become officers on the new government
ships. Prof. Arthur Williams, Klectrie
Building, Portland, has charge of the
Oregon school, and applications should
be made to him by those interested.
All seamen with experience w ho do
not care totake the officers' course are
appealed to for the manning of the
vessels under construction. C. I). Ken
nedy, in charge of the operating de
partment of the U. S. Shipping Hoard
at Portland, hasjeharge of the work of
hiring seamen for the ships sent to sea
from this state.

HOW IS THIS FOR'
RAPID PROGRESS IS
MADE ON HIGHWAY
Unless labor troubles interfere,
grading of the Columbia River High
way from Cacade Locks to Howl Riv
er, except for the Ruthton hill section,
will be fully completed and the road
open to traffic within the next two
months, according to Walter G. Att
well, general foreman of the Kern
Construction Co., who was here Satur
day to receive his commission as a de
puty sheriff.
Mr. Attwell stated that work was
progressing rapidly despite frequent
disagreeable incidents with workmen
of 1. W. W. tendencies. He declares
that every effort has been made to
weed out the discontented element,
whose demands are unreasonable.
"For instance," said the visiting
road man, "the 1. VV. W. demand mat
resses and springs at their sleeping
quarters. They have issued the threat
that they are going to burn their
blankets on May 1, and that employers
must furnish comparatively luxurious
beds. The minimum wage, for an
eight-hour day, on our works, is $3.60,
and no one can raise an objection to
that."
Mr. Attwell says that good progress
is being made lit, Ruthton, where the
grade of the Highway is beijig cut
through almost solid rock. The crews
of men at Ruthton are now making
preparations for the discharge of a
lilast of a carload of powder w ithin
about a week. It is estimated that
the huge blat will move 20,000 yards
of rock.
Mr. Attwell sates that 225 men, at
seven different camps, are now at work
on the Highway between hre and Wv-eth.
SEVEN HUSKY MEN
AND NOT A PENNY
I. W. W. suspects, seven men, three
of them negroes, were arrested by ;
City Marshal Carson in the Columbia I
jungles Saturday. The men were
thoroughly searched at the city prison, i
They had no "wobbly" literature, and
it was furthermore revealed that, not a j
single penny was possessed by the en- j
tire lot. Two of the younger men dis- i
playtsd registration cards. j
Despite present labor demands, Of- 1
ficer Carson says tramps are beginning i
to congregate by the dozens in their;
usual river jungle haunts. j
His Hat's in the Ring
S. W. HeiHMier, has been' a resident j
of Hood River valley for the past 20 I
years. He was born in the state of I
Pennsylvania near Philadelphia and is j
of Holland and English, descent. He
is a graduate n aiitiersvuie state
Normal College of Pennsylvania. He
taught school for about 20 terms in the
states of Pennsylvania, Washington and
Oregon. He is the owner and proprie
tor of a fine fruit farm of 15 acres of
orchard situated three miles west of
Hood River.
He made the race for County As
sessor in a previous campaign and was
defeated by but a small margin; so his
friends feel that he can and will win
this time.
S. W. Ueppner has cast his hat into

Clark W. Thompson is Dead
Clark W. Thompson, a well known
Oregon lumberman, died at Los Angel
es Saturday from heart disease, aged
51 years. He had been in ill health
about a year. Mrs. Thompson, the
eldest daughter and the two youngest
children were present at the bedside.
Two daughters have been attending a
private school in Portland ; one son,
Clark, is in the navy, and another son,
Samuel, is attending a polytechnic
school at Troy, N. . The body was
cremated in Los Angeles Tuesday.
For about 12 years Mr. Thompson
was vice president and general mana
ger of the Wind River Lumber Co. at
Cascade Locks. The company's hold
ings were purchased about a year ago
by the Bridal Veil Lumber Co., Mr.
Thompson retiring at that time on
account of ill health.
"Hood River families are certainly
'Hooverizing,' " declared L. A. Kerr,!
West Side rancher, Saturday after-1
noon. "Since the first of this year I
have sold nu.re than :!K rabbits to
Hoed River families. Many house-;
wives have become my regular cus- j
tomers, and I bring them one or more !
rabbits each week." j
Mr. Kerr sold 73 rabbits last week.
While the most of his rabbits have
been sold for food, bringing him 75
cents each, he has disposed of a num
ber of fancy specimen for breeding
stock at prices ranging as high as
$2.50. He says he finds the business
very profitable.
HOW TO SAVE
MORE GASOLINE
The Hood River office of the Stand
ard (it Co. has recently received a list
of suggestions on methods to save
more gasoline. These suggestions are
recommended by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. The
rules not only save more gas, but users
of motor vehicles will be benefited
personally and individually through
morejetticient and more economical op
eration of cars. Here are the rules:
Store gasoline in underground steel
tanks.
Ujc measuring pump and hose. They
prevent loss by fire, evaporation and
spilling.
Don't spill or expose gasoline io air
- it evaporates rapidly and is danger
ous. -
Don't use gasoline for cleaning and
washing use kerosene or other mater
ials to cut grease.
Stop all gasoline leakage. Form a
habit of shutting off gas at tank or
feed pipe.
Adjust brake bands so they do not
drag. See that all bearings rn freely.
Don't let the engine run when car is
standing. It is good for starter bat-
I t.ery to be used frequently.
: Have carburetors adjusted at service
j stations of carburetor or automobile
I companies --they will make ordinary
j adjustments without charge.
; Keep needle valve clean and adjust
carburetor (while engine is hot) to use
j as lean a mixture as possible. A rich
i mixture fouls the engine and is waste-
i ful.
Pie-heat air entering carburetor and
kerp radiatior covered in cold weather
this will insure better evaporation.
See that spark is timed correctly
with engine and drive with spark fully
advanced a late spark increases gas
consumption. a
Have a hot spark, keep plugs clean
and spark points properly adjusted.
Avoid high speed. The average car
is most economical at 15 to 25 miles an
hour.
Don't accelerate and stop quickly
it wastes gas and wears out tires.
Stop engine and coast long hills.
Cut down aimless and needless use
of cars. Do a number of errands in
one trip.
Know your mileage per gallon. Fill
tank full and divide odometer millage
by gallons consumed.
Cut This Out It is Worth Money
DON'T MISS THIS. Cut out this
