IOWA FAMILIES AR
RIVE HERE BY CAR
W. L. Menzel and family, who ac
companied by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hes
ter, have just completed a 3.1(H) mile
motor trip from Independence, la., de
clare that their trip was wonderful, in
that the journey the entire distance,
until they arrived at lirain, was with
out rain. Spending a month en route,
the party took the Lincoln Highway
into Nevada and traveled thence to
California. Mr. Menzel owns a young
orchard in the Snowden district of
Klickitat county, Washington. He ex
pects to reside here, however, for the
next year, in order that his children
may attend school.
''Our trip was wonderful in another
respcet," says Mr. Wenzel. "Not once
were we refused camping privileges by
ranchers or farmers on our way. We
were welcomed with a hospitality that
was cheering. The automobile park,
we find, has become an established in
stitution in western towns. We will
hold in pleasant remembrance some of
the eonvenineces of these municipal
paiks. The first of any pretension that
we arrived at was at Tonapah, Nev.,
but none at any point was more com
modious and inviting than that of Ash
land." Clark Praises Hood Growers
Y. F. Clark, sales manager of the
Yakima Fruit Growers Association,
who has just returned from a tour of
the Idaho fruit sections, was here
Monday visiting C. W. McCullagh, his
predecessor who is now sales manager
of the Association. Mr. Clark, taken
on a tour of the orchard district, com
plimented Hood River growers on the
care of the orchards. He declared that
hf never s;iw fruit trees in better
' health conditions than those here.
