Hit has Urn j.mpwei ni pre spitted tu the lenij-lature for the pur Ke of removing, if oosible, what ever thir.g-s may intrrfere with and pitvent the citizen of tr.e reactive co-inties of the tta'e from initiating or referring U, rjl-s and regulation trmt iwrtsin to th.-e same i-vunlie?. The initiative and referendum ap plies to the adoption of laws of the fta'.e, and it eems most logical that they should be extended a little fur ther and that the privilege should tie permitted row.tie to initiate legisla tion or refer measures that pertains only to them. Yes, it i ail mt r-ea'Jtiful. theoretically, but if sui-h measure are adopted, we are due come episode that may eclipse in interest the activities at the iKmnegal Kair. The good Lord h lp us, if a law is adpted that will permit the uiilimited initiation of county meheurei". Every man with a hubby may get bold enough to try to embody that hobby in a la. Measures for the regulation of every thing from cockroaches to codling moths are sure to come up sooner 01 later. Now it happens that thote who are most assiduous in their support of euch a proposal as the county initiative measure are those who backed the county salary bill several years ago We do not believe, even though tlu proposed measure privileging citizens of counties to initiative legislation it a looted, that counties will be per mitted to act on the salaried of their officials. Most of the?e officials, in addition to their stewardship to the counties are obligated to the state government. W'tyle elected by the counties, they are in a large sense state officers, and rules and regula tions governing them should be adopted by a state board. THE BOY SCOUTS The parents of 33 Hood River boys, members of Boy Scouts, Troop 1, spent a proud, happy time Monday night, when the troop celebrated the ninth birthday anniversary of the organiza ton of Scouts in America. May they have many more such happy occasions. Hoy Scouts! We accept them as a part of our social order now. In fact the organization's membership, since the parent troop was founded, has reached nearly a half million, a hulf million of serious minded citizens, even though they haven't reached the vting age. If all boys could get 8 course in the principles taught by the Scouts, we would not need military training. Furthermore, we would not have any I. W. W., and there would be no strikes; we would have a better rin lion. The Hoy Scouts organization non military, yet not anti military, is still exceedingly disciplinary. It is a tine thing for the growing boy. We have heard that some parents have become much offended when their children, coasting through the business section of the.eitv and narrowly avert ing accidents that might have resulted fatally, were warned by the city police authorities. The parents, instead, should be thankful. It is truly mirac ulous 'that some youngster has not been killed as a result of reckless coasting down the steep'grades on res idence streets or in 'the Jcity business district. The council should enact an ordinance to prevent this carelessness on the part of the youngsters. Rev. (i. W. Kennedy, beloved pioneer Methodist minister, whose home is in Hood River but who is spending the winter in Portland with his son, Dr. W. S. Kennedy, and family, is writing a series of articles on Oregon pioneer days for the 1'ortland Spectator. Mr. Kennedy knows the story of the pio neer times. He has lived it, and his articles are authentic. Why not dispese of some of the left over gas masks tn orchardists? They might prevent red eyes and the loss of facial epidermis in spraying time. We have even known sprayers to lose their whiskers after a deluge of lime-sulphur solution. Phaeton drives his chariot of lire over the eastern range a little earlier each day. Soon the valley's gardeners w ill experience that very pleasant pen sation produced by the perfume of fresh turned earth. Get out and hear "Farmer" Smith when h is lure. He is the man that put the corn in Hood River valley and made possible the.se numerous ship ments of hogs. The Hood River Basketball tt'Htu j l ids fair to possess the season's pen- j nant.

Orchardists To Get Lime Arrangements have been made by the agricultural department of the high school Hnd Apple Growers Association to furnisli ranchers with lime for fci.lii) per ton. The product will be shipped from Gold Hill. The agricultural de partment offer to analyze the soil of orcrmrdisU fret of charge. TRACTOR WE8 CIGARS FOR ROADMASTER W. L Nichols, county roadrraeter. won hlmoft enough rigars Monday to last tim the remainder of the year. In ' getting a new electric motor, weigh ing a ton, on the top of gravel bunkers at a pit we tt f the city, the court)' : crew mt a problem. Finally Mr. Nich Is, securing 300 feet of steel cable, seven-eighths of an inch in di j ameter, rigged up block on top of : the bunker. The motor was placed on I a sled built on a track used by gravel i oars, Mr. N u rn la then hooked onto j his caMe. af ter one eno was fasttned to the sled, with a new Cleveland trac i tor just purchased by the county from the Hood Kiver Garage, j Before he was ready to start a fair , sized crowd had gathered at the pit. j All wagered Mr. Nichols that he would I never budge the motor. "1 felt pretty shaky," the roadmas i ter says, "but I had to back up my I judgment, and i accepted the challenge ' every time some new man offered to bet a box of cigars of a favorite brand. J Hut was safe. When I opened the ! throttle the tractor fairly walked away, and the motor slid up the 30 I per cent incline without a hitch." MANSER EXHIBITS APPEALING PAINTINGS I'ercy Manser, orchardist and sign painter, aroused a marked attention last week with an exhibit of oil paint ings in one of the big windows of the Franz Hardware Co. The canvasses varied in size from very small ones to large pieces depicting some charming landscape. Nor were the pictures lim ited to any distinct subject matter, al though scenery was the chief back ground of all the painitngs executed by Mr. Manser. The exhibit soon at tracted a great deal of attention, and Mr. Manser is now much better known among Hood River people. Mr. Manser, who has won no limited reputation as a painter of theatre cur tans, having recently visited Seattle to lesign and paint a big curtain lor the I'antages theatre of Spokane, wield a facile brush. He has the knack of be lli? able to reproduce, either from life r painting of another, accurately per fect pictures. With this gift is com bined an originality and artistic sense and a perception of the harmony of colors. WOMEN TolEAR POPULAR MUSICIANS The chief feature of the next meet ing of the Woman's club, to be held at Library hall Wednesday afernoon, Feb ruary lit;, will be a song and piano recital.

Shenlar reported that his children were (licking bouquets of rock lilies in a protected cove near the Columbia boat landing, the hand of winter was set on the mid-Columbia again yesterday morning, when a snow storm pre vailed.

Allowsy, Odell jjj f jr CIVIL WAR VETERAN ; DIES AT SEASIDE Funeral services for Virgil Buchanan, Civil war veteran aged 7s, were held here Saturday at tha Anderson under taking chapel, Re. J. L. Hershner officiating. Mr. Buchanan diel Thurs day at Seaside, where he was visiting. Mr. Buchanan was born in Cumber land, Md., October 10, 1M1. He served in the Civil war four years in Co. D, 3d Regular Pennsylvania. Heavy Artil lery. in 1867 he went to Illinois and in lhC9 he was united in marriage to Eila I' hi, of Dixon, HI. To this union wtre oorn eight thildren, four of whom sur vive him. He leaves to mourn him his widow and four daughters, Mrs. T. H. Gardner, Portland ; Mrs. John Seines, Seaside; Mrs. Arthur Baldwin, Sea side, and Miss Avis Buchanan, Astoria. Mr. Buchanan came to Hood River in 1M2 and was loved and respected by all his friends and neighbors. The burial took place at ldlewilde ceme tery. Old Employer Greets Artillerymen Melby Peeler and Patsy Dillon, mem bers of the 6t5h, were happily sur prised Monday afternoon when they were greeted by their old employer, John Seines, merchant of Seaside. Mr. Seines had come here to attend the funeral services of his father-in-law, Virgil Buchanan, and joined the wel comiug crowd. "1 expressed my pride in seeing the boys back and looking so well," says Mr. Selnes."but they declared that the pleasure was mutual and that they were glad to return. Both boys left me to join the coast artillery. Their old places are waiting for them as Poor as they are mustered out." Mrs. Thompson is Target If there is any truth to the old idea of the ears burning when one was being talked about, Mrs. Alexander Thompson displayed a glowing face to her colleagues yesterday. The com ment was all aroused by Mrs, Thomp son's opposition to the road bonding act. Unless Mrs. Thompson, formerly extremely popular, has some surpris ing explanation to otfer, the general opinion is advanced here that her political death knell has been sounded, insofar as Hood River is concerned.
