S.a-h was tise news thai spread with thf speed ef thought Monday at h H i link on the arrival of Uregoiu.tns carrying ntaa ot" the sijjtiirjf of the German armistice. First news had reached the city at du break Hi extras' of the Foitland News ru-hed over tht Highway. While citizens hastened from boines in their r.ight clothes to purchase the papers, no preparations for a ctb hration wi re made until eon 1 1 1 mation by the Associated Press. With a half holiday proclaimed by Mayor Humble, all citizens of the eitv, jon.eii by hundrtds from the valley, spent the afternooir celebrating. It was a Fourth of J uly and Thanksgiv itit; combined. ( "iHttitrinn formally at a prominent business street intersee t:ou, with an open topped automobile for a rostrum, Map r Ih.mble presided. A prayer was said by ttev. J. It. I.evv elien. Circuit Jucle Wilson, here holtiint; a term of court, delivered an address. J. II. Hazlett urtred an un t)ajr(iiiitr support of the Tinted War I'nvo. A small oryan was hurried to the sinet corner from the Anderson undertaking parlor by the I'lansfer & l.ivery Co., and Mrs. t'-. II. Sletton and members of the county's Liberty cho rus sutitf national smiys of allied na tions. Following the formal assembly tin populace, in an abandon of Joy, spent the afternoon in participating in spon taneous parades. A dead ami mellow ing cat, lagged the kaiser, was dragged at the end of a rope from a buggy. Various automobiles dragged elligies of the ex-ruler of hundom. Hert Stran ahan resurrected from the Fashion Sta bles an old abandoned, horse diawn hcaise. A noiieescript team was hitched thereto and an improvised coffin was thrust into it. Kaiser Hill was hauled to a public litter dump on the Columbm lowlands. The jollification extended until late ui the night. Knthiixasic men anil hovs early in the evening gathered from store entrances contributions of old boxes, crates and tar barrels. Hut'kets of gasoline and oil were con tribulid by garage men and one of the biggest bonlires ever touched oil' in Hood River flamed forth to the sky in honor of the victory of right over Prussian might. Kven the weather smiled Monday. No fall day of the 1','IS season has ever been brighter. It seemed that an an nouncement of the glorious news dis pelled the mists and fogs of the ele ments, and when the sun set down the Columbia gorge the sky was cloudless. Hostilities ceased Monday morning on all fronts at 11 o'clock, Paris tune, six o'clock Washington tunc. The American artillerymen, however, fired up to the last seeord. With watches in hand the gunners on the stroke of II Ibvd a last salvo, the shell cases lie inn kept as souvenirs of the last shots of the world's greatest war. t'ntil President Wilson informed con gresh Monday, the people of America did not know the exact terms of the demands made of (lerrnany in the arm istice.

I. Siocom, the bulletin announcing the falsity of the armistice rumor, the most of the people, w hile disappointed that, tluw could not celebrate the end of the comlict, repaired to their homes convinced that the nation was the vic tim of a canard. Other citizens, however, accepted the United l'ress hoax, which was ap parently confirmed by many telegrams received by local people from Atlantic coast relatives and friends, and at 11 o'clock Thursday night pandemonium broke. The big electric siren, the old tire bell, church hells, itutornoode horns, the whistles nl loconiot h es on udings, and numerous eser lioise- nnikirs rendered a confusion of noises that could be heard 20 miles away in the valley. The noisy demonstration was a worry to many people of the city, seriously ill from pneumonia and inllueuza.

Castner, chairman of the Woman's Committee, of the Ore gon Ibvision of the National Council of hefense, last week reported a com plete amaigamat ion of the two depart ments of the organization. The amal gamation, too, Mrs. ('astner states, has been carried to count) Councils of Hefense. Mrs. Castner, yvith the endorsement of respective county chairmen, has designated women to direct the activi ties in the respective county organiza tions.

These sings yvill he held in all counties of the nation at the same hour. "We must not waver for a moment in our activities, because of German armistice talk," says Mrs. Castner. j "Aril 1 hope that the women of the stste will continue their patriotic ac itivities with just as much spirit and i fervor as during the past two years." Mrs. ( 'astner has just U'ceived from Franklin K. Lane, chairman of the I field division of the National Council ' of 1 lefense : "1 earnestly beg' you not to relax I your efforts in the slightest, degree on ' sccovnt of the possibility of an early armistice. Even if an armistice should he concluded this does not mean that I the war is overj and in any case the 'emergency will not be over for a long time. Most of he work you have been i called on to perform must go on untie i minishe, and I hope every man and woman in the Council of Defense sys ; tern w ill stay on the job. In a few days will write you as to the outlook i for future work."

HOOD R1YER IS FIRST IN MERGED DRIVE "Our quota is raised," was'the mes sage sent, Monday by Leslie Butler, county chairman, to the central com mittee of the I'nited War Work drive in Portland.

The armistice celebration was stimu lated when Mr. Butler announced on the street a me i-age from Portland that Hood River was I he first county of the state to report a full quota. Ill UUVtlli HELP BUILD DAM Hood River sportsmen are joining hands with the Stale Game and Fish Commission in the construction of a diversion dam near the mouth of Hood river to turn the water of the smaller stream into the Columbia in a deep channel and in a downward course. The new dam replaces a structure washed out. last December, when un precedented freshets raged down the Rorge. The State Commission, interested in the local work that Hond river, de clared a salmon spawning; stream sev eral years ago, may be available to the big fish, fount! that a deficit would result after the expenditure of all the funds available. Since the improve ment on the stream will greatly im prove the river as a fishing stream, anglers were appealed to, and through soliciation of .1. H. Fredriev and Earl Franz, the sum of $170 additional have been subscribed. Without the dam I lotrtl river enters the Columbia in a shallow course over a broad sandbar.
