To Whom it may Concern :
This is to certify that 1 have used a
Hartford Tire on the rear wheel of my auto
mobile that I run on my mall route In this
County, and that betw een October 20, 1918,
and July 17. 1919, I ran that tire for the
distance ot 8310 miles, making about 200
stops each day. During that time 1 wore
out two sets of chains on that wheel and
the tire was still in usable condition when
removed and may be seen at the Blckford

Forestry Service to Build Leantos on Lost
Lake Road and on the For
ested Shores
2 T. 11. Sherrard, supervisor of na
tional forests, was here last week en
route to Portland from the Upper West
Fork of Hood River.where he had been
engaged in details of a sale of 3t5,
000. 000 feet of timber in the national
forest to the Oregon Lumber Co. The
tract, the largest body of Douglas tir
ever sold bv the government, was
awarded to John W. Palmer, who sev
eral vears aeo retired to a West Side
orchard here from the presidency of
the Westport Lumber Co.. operating a
mill on the Lower Columbia.
Mr. Palmer, soon after the big ileal
suffered poor health and he assignee
his interest to the Oregon Lumber Co.,
which intends to log the big tract and
haul the timber to its Dee plant for
cuttinir. lhe timber involved in the
sale covers an area of 7,340 acres. R'
tape of the original sale dragged out for
nearly a year, following announce
ments of the forestry department's
plans for disposing of the big stump
age, a protest was tiled by orchardists,
who expressed a tear that the grea
denundation would result in spring
freshets and a shortage of irrigation
water in summer. These fears were
finally dissipated when the high offi
cials of the forestry service came here
and informed apple growers that the
area under discussion formed less than
a third of the Upper West Fork water
shed and that the stream was fed
chiefly in summer months from Mount
Hood glaciers.
Thetotal sale price of the big tract
of fir will reach more than $350,1)00. It
will take about 20 years to cut the
area. The sale of the timber has done
more than anything else to stimulate
construction of a highway connecting
county roads with Lost Luke. Ten per
cent of the funds from sale of the tim
ber will go to the state for construction
of roads or trails in the national forest
in any part of the state. Twenty-five
per cent will be apportioned between
Wasco. Hood River and Clackamas
counties, within the borders of which
the national forest containing the
stumpage is located. The sale has made
available funds for the construction of
the Lost Lake road.
The base line forms the north boun
dary of the timber belt, and the Ore
gon Lumber Company has already
pushed its logging road into the new
holdings.
INDEFINITENEST
AROUSES PROTESTS
While Hood River citizens have been
wrestling with the problem of locating
a new home for the postoffice. Upper
Valley men and women have been con
tending among themselves over the
merits of sites for a new $12,000 grade
school to rise soon. Two factions have
come to the fore and the right has cen
tered around two proposed locations.
One element of the school's patrons
desires to erect the new house on the
site of the old school, while those op
posing contend that it is at the section
of crossroads used more by motorists
than any other intersection of the dis
trict. Those opposing the old site
would have the new building erected on
part of a hve a"re tract purchased by
the school district for a new Upper
Valley Union High School. The old
school property was donated to the dis
trict but will revert to the original
owners when its U9e for school pur
poses is discontinued.
lhe faction tavoring the old location
do not wish to lose the property, and
they say that the grade and high schools
should be located on adjacent plots.
They have secured a letter from Hopkin
Jenkins.principat of'the Jefferson High
School, of Portland, in support of their
argument. Their opponents, however,
declare that Mr. Jenkins would view
the situation differently if he knew
that the Upper Valley High School site
comprises hve acres, equal, they say
to hve city blocks, and that the two
schools can be erected thereon without
hurtful crowding.
maciiineexhibTts
PLANNED FOR FAIR
A feature of the approaching .Hood
River County Fair will be exhibits of
labor saving ranch machinery and ap
ple harvest appliances. Farm imple
ments will be exhibited by local mer
chants and by Portland and Seattle
manufacturers. The committee has
offered a special premium for the best
display of labor saving devices. Orch
ardists are asked to demonstrate pet
schemes of labor saving.
Fine exhibits of cattle, hogs and
dairy cows are planned, according to
R. V. Wright, Hood River High School
agriculturist. As a result of increased
entries, it will be necessary to increase
display space. The fair will require
two tents, each 50 bv 100 leet and a
shed 30 bv 100. The high school ath
letic grounds will be used for the fair
and the entire high school building will
be used for displays and for meetings
of orchardists and ranchers who will
be addressed by members of the Ore
gon Agricultural College faculty.
COUNTY AWARDED
TWO MOTOR TRUCKS
The forested area around Lost Lake,
to the shores of which the United
States Forestry Department, its crews
armed with tons of "T. N. T." des
tined at the time of manufacture for
blasting a way through the fortifica
tions of Hindenburg but salvaged from
war supplies and its force turned to
peaceful development, will be a vaca
tionist's paradise by next summer ac
cording to Warren M. Cooper, in charge
of national forests in Hood River county-
Mr. Cooper, here yesterday seeking
men for work on trails and for con
structing wickiups on the new Ixist
Lake road and in the forests around
the shores, says that his crews will
build numerous shake leantos in vir
ginal groves on the road, and a dozen
of the structures will arise in the vi
cinity of the lake.
"1 would like to find a half dozen
men, who know how to erect log houses
and to split fir shakes to take back to
the woods with me," said Mr. Cooper.
The huts for vacationists will be sub
stantial. Three sides will be enclosed,
and the fourth open to a fireplace.
Thus we will make it possible for
vacationists going into tne lake to
eliminate heavy tents from their
packs. In case of rain they will find
shelter in our houses. The fireplaces
will not only be convenient for outing
parties, but they will serve a gxxl
purpose for the forestry service. With
them available, the amateur woodsman
will not be tempted to build afire
against the first log he discovers and
thus perhaps starting a forest tire.
I can also use some men for trail
building. We are threading this sec
tion of the national forest with narrow
trails, which may be used by vacation
ists and which will aid our rangers in
guarding against the spread of tires."
HIGHWAY BLOCKED
PART OF DAY
Paving crews between here and Cas
cade Locks have begun pouring "hot
stuff," and the road is closed during
working hours. The highway will be
opened in the mornings until 8 o'clock
and traffic will be allowed to pass at
the noon hour and after work in the
evening. Later continual Bhirta may
be worked, and the road may be per
manently blocked, it is said. Grading
crews are progressing between here
and Ruthton hill. They are now work
ing on a cut just west of the city.
The formation is of cement gravel and
necessitates frequent light blasts.
About 50 charges were set off Monday
evening.
A local opinion that the road will not
be closed permanently at any time is
growing. S, lienson, here bunday, de
clared that the road would not be
blocked all day and night, unless it
became absolutely necessary. He left
the the impression that the commission
would endeavor to keep the route open.
The county has repaired the old route
between VVyeth and Cascade Locks,
and this can be used as a detour while
work between the two points progress
es on the new highway.
SEALS REPORTED
OFF HOOD'S MOUTH
As the result of observations of
Countv Judge L. N. Bloweis, who
noticed in press reports that Pacific
county had been awarded trucks, the
State Highway Commission has award
ed Hood River county two government
motor trucks of the Nash-Ouad make
for use in highway construction
County RoadmasterW. L. Nichols and
Commissioner J. O. Hannum lett on
Monday for Salem to return over the
Columbia River Highway with one of
the big vehicles.
On noticing the dispatch Judge
Blowers immediately showed it to his
fellow court members, and with their
cooperation wrote at once to State
Highway Chairman Benson, of the
State Highway Commission. The
awards soon followed.
TOWN MEETING MAY
DECIDE LOCATION
Indefinite statuB of the Columbia
River Highway at the time of the
Hood River County Fair has necessi
tated the board of directors calling off
plans to rush an exhibit to the Salem
State Fair. The local fair will be held
on September 19 20. It was proposed
to collect a unique exhibit of all Hood
River products, and after their diBplay
here rush them to Salem over the Co
lumbia River Highway by motor truck.
"But we are afraid if we make our
p ans they will sll be upset with the
Columbia Highway closed between here
aid Cascade Locks." says R. V.
Wright, a member of the Fair commit
tee. The indefinite highway situation is
leading to numerous protests. Many
doclare that the road should remain
oen at certain hours each day, even
while paving work is at its height.
It is likely that Hood River citizens
in the near future will attend an old
fashioned town meeting for the pur
pose of settling on a site for a new
postoffice home. The matter has been
taken up with Oregon's congressional
delegation and the postoffice depart
ment, and the reply comes from Wash
ington that the will of the local ma
jority shall rule in the matter. The
comparative good points of different
locations will be threshed out at the
proposed meeting and the matter set
tled once tor all.
C. A. Cass, whose bid for a new
office home at the corner of Fourth
street and Cascade avenue, has decided
to withdraw his proposition, leaving
the matter free for future decision.
The Hood River Game Protective
Association has declared war. Three
serais sighted off the mouth of Hood
River in the Columbia by W. R.
Greene, local manager of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., has aroused the
sportsmen to action. The presence of
the seals, it is said, indicates th run
of salmon, and the ocean-going ani
mals, it is thought, have stationed
themselves at the mouth of the smal
ler streams, where they feed on Chi
nook salmon and salmon trout as they
enter Hood river. This is the first time
seals have ever been reported above the
Cascades and it is likely that the State
Game and Fish Commission will be
asked to assist in eliminating the seals.
If they persist in their hunting at the
delta of the smaller stream, it is de
clared that they will prevent fish from
entering the local river
BANGS LECTURE
IS CALLED OFF
TELEPHONE HEARING
PROBABLY AUG. 25
President J. E. Smithson, of the Oregon-Washington
Telephone Co., has re
ceived notice from the Public Service
Commission that the body will meet
here probably on August 25 to hear
protests against an applicaction of the
telephone company for an increase in
rates.
The concern filed an application for a
raise last October. The application
was revised several months ago, the
company declaring that costs of labor
and materials have increased since the
armistice was signed.
The application states that an in
crease in earnings mut Le allowed or
the company will have to apply for a
receivership.
The lecture of John Kendrick
Bangs, writer and reconteur, scheduled
here for next Sunday afternoon, has
been called off. The local committee
communicated with Mrs. Robert Treat
Piatt, in charge of raising funds in
Oregon for the reconstruction of de
vastated France, announcing that a
very large percentage of local residents
were away on vacations. Orchardists
and others, it was declared by Trmuan
Butler, chairman of the committee,
had planned Sunday outing trips before
hearing of the coming ot Mr. Bangs,
and the noted writer would be greeted
by empty seats Sunday.
The committee has invited Mr. Bangs
to come here and spend Sunday on an
outing.
PARKDALE TO GET
NEW WAREHOUSE
The board of directors of the Apple
Growers Association has granted an
appeal of Upper Valley orchardists,
forty of whom appeared in a body
Thursday and asked that a new ware
house be constructed to handle the
district's bumper crop of 1919. The
Association's plans call for a new
stucture of hollow tile that will cost
an approximate $15,000. Negotiaions
are now under way to secure trackage
facilities from the Mt. Hood K. R.
Company. Work will be pushed on the
new structure, in order that it may be
available for the approaching harvest.
