our feelirjrs.
I wish to say, however, a memorial ,
once executed and placed in with us

given more trmn usual thought before

form it should tkke and as to the place
on which it should be erected.

Editor Glacier: We left Hood River

that there was a very heavy travel

land for reservations. Upon arriv.nj:
there we found the I'nion depict a very
tusy and, crowded place. It seemed
like neatly half the people were sol
dier boys who pro'-ahly had teen de

' respective trains to take them home

trier.i's a vaiteJ their connrg with out
; stretched ams and joyful tears. At
p. ra. iur train pulled out of the
. stution and we were "healin' south."
The track for tome distance out of

, hae been due to the rains wiitemnj;

had the St. Vitas dance. At any rate,

Adding to existing equipment bv the

from P. S. Davidson and u Cleveland

to make the most of road improve
ments this year. The county now
owns two motor trucks, used exelus

I building material.
We figured up, says Judge Blow
ers, "and found that we paid $t,000
lust year in rentals for motor trucks.
We decided that it was cheaper to own
our own equipment. We may buy an
other truck next season. Some criti
cise the court for buying a tractor,
saying that we should hire the taxpay
ers' horses. The fact of the matter
is, we are unable to hire horses at any
price during the busy season. The
i tractor will prevent us from getting in
sui h condition again.
SEARCH IS MADE
FOR MRS. MERLE
Commodore Dean, who has been ap
pointed administrator of the estate of
the late Jacob Merle, who died sud
denly of apoplexy last December, is
making a search for the dead man's
wife. Mrs. Merle had not resided
with her husband for several years.
It is thought she is living somewhere
in Indiana.
Mr. Merle left life insurance and
other property valued at several thou
sand dollars.

Theie certainly is no higher authori
ty in the state of Oregon to appeal to
than the Portland Chapter of the Na
tional Institute of Architects, as to
whether the subject of an arch would
be in good taste, also as to the loca
tion of same. Jt may not be generally
known, but 1 believe I am correct in
saying that the National Institute of
Architects has jurisdiction over the
Lincoln Highway from east to west,
and by the sanction of the government
has the right to piss on ail bridges,
electric lights, signs, gateways, en
trance posts to towns, etc., before
they are erected on the Highway, the
object of this being that any and all
decorations of what so ever nature
should conform to good taste and be
appropriate in their surioundings.
1, therefore, would suggest that be
fore any further thought is given to
erecting any kind of a memorial on the
Columbia River Highway it first be
referred to such an
have mentioned above
call attention here to a case that is
somewhat parallel to our own. Afier
the Civil war there was hardly a town
in New England that did not erect a
soldiers' monument to those who had
surrendered their lives for the freedom
of the States. Those monuments ex
pressed the best thoughts in art com
position and execution of their day,
but art has so far advanced in our
country in the past 50 years that the
monuments then erected are now the
laughing stock of those who know good
art. What is the result? Just this:
That many of the towns have taken
down the original monuments and
erected in their places others of a
higher and tp to date standard. 1
simply mention this as we do riot want
to fall into the footsteps of our prede
cessors.
Our county has lost but few men. 1,
therefore, do not believe we wish to
erect a big memorial, as an arch would
indicate, for in my opinion the occasion
does not call for it. An excellent sug
gestion was made by Roy Kelly a few
days ago when I was talking the mat
ter over with him. He said why not
take the vacant space on Cascade ave
nue between the Hood River Garage
and the Gerdes Hotel, which is always
an eyesore as to its appearance, fix it
up as a small park and have a large
boulder placed in it with a bronze tab
let, commemorating the names of those
who have gone not to return, set out
shrubs and flowers and have seats and
so foith. Here is a site that should be
improved, is passed often by many,
within easy reach of all and why not a
desirable place?
Let us be careful as to what we do,
and above all have it in good taste,
well executed and well placed and then
we w ill not be criticised.
Respectfully,
Walter Kimball.

berth from under us, run ahead and
stop, and w hen we cauuht up our heads
came in contact with the berth. This
you can see acted as a self starter
enabling the engineer to get underway
again with a minimum waste of
steam. This process was repeated ev
ery two and a half minutes. Before
we had ridden out the night it was
very easy to telescope our necks like a
turtle and thus conserve what little
brains an all-wise creator had endowed
us with, that we might be able to
avoid the tnares and pitfalls that th?
promoters and real estate dealers
strew around our path in this land of
graft and flowers.
But 1 am geUing ahead of my story.
Will say that we rode out the night
without any casualties and w hen morn
iiig broke we were somewhere rear
the southern part of the state. We
passed through Medford at about 10 a.
m. and were booh in Ashland, where
a stop was made of from 20 to 30 min
utes, enabling the passengers to "dis
embark" and shake the tangles out of
their legs. Ashland has two mineral
springs that they claim have medicinal
properties. They are close to the de
Kt and as it had been a lonkr, long
time between drinks quite a number
availed .themselves of the opportunity
to "tank up." They would take a
a rye face, and look
with a foolish grin as
though their fondest hopes had not
been realized. 1 did not see an analy
sis of the watr, hut it seemed to have
a hint of egg flavor With the eggs over
ripe.
In passing over the Siskiyous on the
load of a thousand wonders, as the
railroad company calls it, there was
nothing of note to record save the won
derful engineering feats that enabled
a railroad to be built through these
rugged mountains, isot much snow
was encountered ; perhaps four inches.
In passing Mt. Shasta we could see its
base, but its peak was hidden in the
clouds, or it hail a "rlu mask on", as
the newsboy said.

Canteen Committee Shows Faithfulness
During the past month, the Canteen
Committee of the local chapter of the
Red Cross has distributed to troops
passing through Hood River, 15 ) boxes
of apples and 54 boxes of home-made
candy. The cost to the local chaptei
during January for supplies was $250.
The 17 active workers who have con
tinued their voluntary duties in their
constant devotion towards meeting all
scheduled as well as troop trains have
gladdened the hearts of 10,500 soldiers,
200 sailors and 50 marines within the
last month. Three new members were
accepted at the regular monthly meet
ing Monday night of last week : Mrs.
DeForrest McLucas, and the Misses
Elizabeth Carson and Gladys Renvis.
For the Children
Too much rare cannot be exercised
in selecting a cough medicine for
children. It should be pleasant to
take, contain no harmful drug and be
most effectual in curing their coughs
and colds. Long experience has shown
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
meets these conditions. It is a favor
ite with many mothers.

Chronic 1 oustipatioii
There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most of
them have brought that condition on
themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that take
too much water out of the system and
aggravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlan's Tablets affords a gentle
movement of the bowel3 that you
I hardly realize has been produced by a
j medicine, and their use is not so likely
to be followed by constipation.
