Clark East Side orchardist. who left his place in 1917 anil joined the Canadian forces to fight the Kai ser's Huns, was for many months under lire on the Flanders front. Mr. Clark, who is again on his orchard place and who has spent the past sev eial days training a spray gun on Spitz enhurgs and Newtowns, killing Codling moth worm-children, declares, how ever, that one of his most thrilling ex periences occurred when he was or dered taken before a high officer on the charge of attacking a Highlander. Mr. Clark says that etrorts were made to get him into a regiment of kilt-wearing fighters, but that he re sisted, tine day he and a Highlander were having some repartee over the incident, when Mr. Clark rushed the Scot and before the melee had ended the orchardist possessed the "Lady of Hell's" kilties. "J didn't know just what they were going to do with me, Bavs Mr. Clark. "I was looking forward to imprison ment in the Tower of London. I was thinking of the fir-clad blils of Oregon as they led me along. 1 faced the sol emn assemblage of officers. They looked me up and they looked me down, and J was scared. And then they let me go. They just wanted to see the man who had taken otf a Highlander's kilts and lived." A steel-tired coaster wagon, guided by an enthusiastic youngster, rumbling down a concrete sidewalk, reminded Mark E. Moe, just back from Treves, Germany, where he was with the army of occupation, of the noise made by German automobiles. "Rubber tires were unknown, except for the cars of the extreme higher ups," says Mr. Moe. "Rubber was too much in demand for more necessary things, such as munitions. The Ger mans rode on steel tires, but some of the jar was taken up by an arrange ment of springs around the wheel next to the outer tire. Hut that did not eliminate any noise. A German ehauf- I fer didn't need any horn to let you , know he was coming down the street." i Ellis L. Morse, just back from over ! seas duty with an aero squadron, has j been visiting in Portland. Mr. Morse ! says : j "Salmon are climbing the dam at i Spray, Wheeler county, and the farm- ers are gaffing the fish and some are 'even taking the salmon from the stream with pitchforks. This is the i first time in years that the fish have been able to get above the dam and i the settlers in that sheep and cattle country are making the most of their : opportunity to eat fresh fish."

Here, however, the bloodless feud will be known as "The War of the Lakes." Disputes are already on ever the features of beauty of Lost Lake, situ ated on the west base of Mount Hood, and Badger Lake, lying in a remote and inaccessible foid of the national forest on the east side of the snow peak. Which has the best fishing pools, which is the clearest, which affords a most appealing view of Mount Hood? All of these points are leing threshed over by vacationists. ThoFe who have visited Badger Lake and who have never seen Lost Lake are very eure that no nook of all the Cascades can equal it. And, they say, the Badger Lake trout are thejgamest of all local species. Ixst Lake supporters make similar claims for their favorite. lBt Lake is fast being made access ible by the construction of a highway from county roads through the national forest in the southwestern part of the county. Badger Lake is destined, probably, to remain more inaccessible to Hood River people, although it will be brought into more prominence.when the Loop Highway is bulit around the east base of Mount Hood. The latest boosters for Badger Lake scenery and for the eagerness of its trout to take the fly, returned last week from a vacation spent on its shores. 1 he men were: Sheriff John son, County As.-essor W'ickham, Deputy Assessor Edick and W. B. North. "It is certainly a task getting into the lake now, says bhentl Johnson, "and we were fortunate in having Mr. North along. He spent rive years with the forestry service and is an expert at packing. We thought that we had already traveled over impassable trails when we reached rrog Lake, a smaller pool higher ud the mountain side. From Lookout mountain it appeared as if one might toss a rock from Frog lake down into Badger. When we reached the former we found the other crystal depths at least a mile away and straight down hill. We finally arrived, over logs and through fallen trees. How we did it I do not know. 1 did not believe Mr. North would ever get the pack horses over, but he was very patient and persevering. "But all of our discomforts of travel were well rewarded. 1 have never seen more eager fish than those trout of Badger lake. On the first day out, when a wind was whipping the surface of the lake, 1 tossed my fly into a pool, and a big one rushed it. I missed him, but tried again-in fact 1 was too en thusiastic. I swished trty steel rod bo hard that I snapped it half in two. After that I fished with the top end, and caught the fish as fast as 1 could cast. 1 had three flies on my leader, and repeatedly I caught three fish. If you do not believe it is exciting, just get three 15 inch trout on a rod. The jagged ends of that broken rod almost ruined my hand, but 1 was so excited that I did not notice the lacerations until 1 had finished my catch." The men declare Lookout mountain a wonderful place for scenic outlook. From its elevation, where a ranger's observation house has been erected, one is able to see the green and golden fields of Wasco county. The ranger's trail up to the lookout house winds its way up the peak by innmuerable zig zags out in the sides. Although Representative Sinnott, of The Dalles, is quoted as saying, when he was being shown over the small est state recently by a fellow con gressman, that an eastern Oregon jack rabbit could cross Rhode Island in two jumps, it appears from a visit here of B. Cecil Burgess that the people of the double-capital state are much interest ed in fostering game protection. Mr. Burgess, member of the Rhode Island Fish and Game Protective Asso ciation, has spent the past week visit ing with members of the Hood River County Game Protective Association and inspecting local streams and haunts of game birds. At the request of Mr. Burgess, J. H. Fredricy, vice president of the local organization, has prepared for the visitor a paper showing the consuming interest taken in such work ni the West. Mr. Fredricy's symposium contains interesting data on the life study of the Chinook salmon, which have been liberated in local streams the past year to the extent of 450,000. The naner shows that 150,000 steelhead and 20,000 Kainbow try have been sown in Hood River county streams. Mr. Fredricy grows eulogistic over the appeal made by Hood River county to huntsmen, nature lovers and fishermen. And it is pointed out that Oregon sportsmen are actively engaged in making more avail able the remote nooks of the national forest areas. He points out the new Lost Lake Highway, which will soon be opened as a result of agitation of the local association. Mr. Burgess plans to read the naner to a meeting of sportsmen of his home state. He declares that it will aston ish them. Mr. Fredricy ends his arti cle as follows : "lam handing you some snapshots taken along the Btreams and in the hills here. They show some fish caught here with hook and line. These in a measure may back up what i have said or what you may say to friends in Providence. May I suggest that if friends look at you with a skeptical grin, simply tell them to come out for themselves. The Shriners will meet in Portland next June. Tnere will also fe a Rose Show. There will be reduced rates, and the fishing will be good. Come out and see us ; we'll treat you right." Mr. Burgess while while here accom panied the Rainbow, distributing car of the Oregon State Game and Fish Commission, on runs to Mt. Hood K. R. Company line points up the Valley, and saw how the trout fry are carried direct from the Bonneville hatchery to the streams. He also visited the Bon neville hatchery. "There is to be no shooting of elk in Oregon during the year 1919." Such was the declaration made by State Game Warden Carl D. Shoemak er, who has received a number of in quiries as to the date of the opening of If You Need That House BUILD IT NOW Your first peace-time work i the building of that new houssyou had to o without whila tha war was on.

DAVENPORT, JR., Resident Manager UKaxurell Good looks, plenty of comfort and convenience and ample room for five adults make the Maxwell Touring model the ideal car for family use. The popularity of this pleasure car alone, during the past five seasons, would have enabled the Maxwell Motor Company to attain a volume production such as few motor car companies achieve with an entire line. Five years of intensive manufacture have developed the Maxwell chassis remarkably, and the efforts of the past year to enhance the car's appearance have borne good fruit. The Touring Car appears this season with a new body. It is just a little more roomy than its predecessors more space in the tonneau and more clearance and leg room in the driving compartment. This naturally followed as a result of lengthening the chassis several inches. A FULL LINE OF UNITED STATES TIRES IN STOCK L. E. FOUST tie season for hunting elk. In order that the misunderstanding may be cor re:ted, the game warden explained that the 1909 law protected elk until August 1, 1919, but this law .was re pealed by the 1913 legislature and per petual protection was provided for this noble animal. "There will be no open season on elk in this state at any time unless the legislature fixes one at some future iission. We only have a few elk in the state and an open season wouldjkill practically all of these off," said Mr. Shoemaker. All kinds Cif Innda frnm eu-inn in contraband whiskey, have been borne by automobiles passing through Hood R.ver. The first turkey, out on a motor trip, stopped recently. The turkey, belonging to a southern Cali fornia couple, is a pet, and when the motorists desired to travel north for a vacation, they didn't want to leave the fowl.

Orcbardists who recently noted the report that digger sijuirrels were de stroying apple crops of Willow Flat, a departure from the normal methods of feeding of the ground animals, de clare that silver gray squirrels for many years have taken a heavy toll of cherry crops in parts of the valley. The law protects the handsome silver grays, tree denizens, and unmolested they have become very tame. Cherry orchardists say that the animals fairly lived in their trees the past spring, in instances occupying adjoining branches while pickers were at work.
