HOSIER LO -S IS PLACED AT $5,000 Mosier experienced the most disas trous fire in the hi-tory of the town, or community, Wednesday of last week. It. is not kno'n how the lire started, out it is known that it originated in ome manner in the rear of what was c:.lled the Graham building, and when di; covered had gained such headway tnat despite all elforts all the builJings in that entire section soon became a -eething muss of flames, completely h yond control. The fire engine wa; nnme 1 lately brought to the scene, but vi found to be of no use because of nut having the necessary chemicals fur i-L.-irging it. 1 he water pressure siemed just at that time to he unusu ally low, as very little force could be hu'l. Every person who could be of the least assistance was there. Al! work wat suspened in the Fruit Grower As sociation building and all turned out to help. liiiiket luigailes were soon f. i mecl and ladders placed so that the Up.- of neai by houses could be guard ed. The Mosier hotel. Strauss' gen end store and the Sturgess building, where the Fruit Growers Association has a temporary dining room and sleeping quarters for help, were ablaze at different times, hut ,hy heroic tn deavora the manv willing hands man aj.'d to save all these places, although ail the glass in the fronts of the Strauss and Sturgess buildings was broken by the intenss heat and the buildings were Madly scorched. The greatest loss was the bookstore and barber shop. Ihe telephone ex change was in the bookstore, hut the big switchboard was saved and moved up to Chown's hardware store, where connection with long distance was effected eailv in the afternoon. It is expected that the local lines will again be in working order in a very short time. The stock at the bookstore was partially insuted. In all seven hou-es were destroyed, some of them unoccu pied. A rough estimate would set the damage at $.'),(IU0 or more. At one time it was thought the en tile tov.n was doomed. A call for as sistance was sent to The Dalles, who re.-ponded by loading their tiie anp.ir atus on a rpei ial train and Was just ready to start here when word was sent Hint all was under control. Miss Anna Lang sent a Red Cross nurse down on the afternoon train to see if anvone needed assistance, but luckily no one was left destitute in the matter of clothing or beilding. However, Mosier people appreciated the thought and prompt action of the Red Cross and feel very thankful that help was not needed. BUDGET COMMITTEE FINDS PROBLEMS With the law limiting increases in taxation to six per cent of the pre til ing year's levy and numerous demands for new nicironriations confr niti- p- them, the county cyjrt and budget ad- j viKory committee, in session luesuay, I luund themselves in a quandaiy. A delegation, consisting of retire entatives from thu Woman's cl.ib, iveu ross i napitr ami citizens, aske.l the court for an appropriation of $ ' fit ill for maintaining a public health service with visiting nurse. A large delegation of orchardists atvi'direetors and officers of the txperi ment station asked the court to m- i reaHe the stations appropriation, which was $2,b(M luit year, to iJI.ikki, a sum equal to the slate s aptiionna- tion. The court had tentatively planned on raising money this year to stait a dnking fund for a new courthouse It is generally admitted that Hood River county, whose t llicers and courts have been housed in an antiquated s-jhuol house since the county was e-taldished, needs a new court house, but it is rot likely that any fund can be started this year, it is said. CAR SITUATION SHOWS IMPROVEMENT! While apple shippers remained far behind with needs tor rolling stoi k, the receipts of refrigeuitor can showed a slight impiovement the pa t week. Shippers expressed the feeling that they were receiving a fair prop' r tion of roiling stock being awarded to Northwest fruit districts. Total shipments have exceeded the 1,000 car mark. The Apple Gi owi rs Association alone had routed out 700 cars up to Saturday. The domestic market for good qual ity of apples remains (inn, but the de cline in exchange of the pound sterling and the government price control m !'glar.d has had a denies.-dng etl'e t on exports. At the present ime the lint ish price rontiol allows a maximum price of 54.15 for a box of apples de livered in England. Freight, -handling and insuran.e charges reai h a total il $2.1'.i, leaving a balance of $1.1)0 for '.he fruit. Shippers slate that best quality C grades are bringing a higher price than this on the dome.-tic market. MOTORISTS ADVISED AGAINST NEW ROAD J. R. Nii'kelsen, who has change of sin facing the link of the Columbia Ilihway betwten here and his ranch place, has issued a warning against use of the new grade by motorists until his work is complete. "Somebody has told motorists that they can get through on the new road," savs Mr. Nickelen. "with the result that they almost invariably get stuck. Four or five cars were mired there Monday. The night before several machines used about a cord of fence posts and wood in getting out of mud holes. If the traveling public will just have patience we will get the road completed bv Christmas." The road is being surfaced with nat urally cru-hed rock, hauled from a de posit just east of the Mitchels Point tunnel, and on the rock is placed graveL FOUR KIDDIES HURT WHILE COASTING Three children are at the Cottage hospital suffering from fractured limbs and a fourth sustained a padly bruised foot in a coasting accident Tuesday night. Aboard a bobsled the young sters were traveling down a Bteep grade at express rate when their sled collided with an automobile driven by I Sol Waine. The injured were Agnes 'Chipping, broken wrist; Mary Has i linger, leg fractured between hip and iknee; Calire Howell, fracture between ' hip and knee, and George Haslinger, j bruised foot.

The report continued: "We sympathize with the court in its disappointment at the parole sys tem. We venture to remind the court, however, that the prisoner who is- pa roled and who rehabilitate himtelf is never heard of bv the publ c in co nec tion with his citne thereafter, while on the other hand the man who bi.mks his parole and commits another ciirie come;- to the attention of the court and the people." Judge Wilson stated last week that hereafter he would require that appli cations for parole is-ue from i idn'iing grand jury or trial jii'ie3. He a ked the committee fot an opinion on ha policy. The citizens declared that evi dence submitted to a grand jury in order to bring about' indictment is not adequate to making a decision in the matter of a parole. The same wa ex pressed as also true of the trial jury, fr im whom manv essential point . it was said, might be exclude I as tuati monv. In such cases the co-nmntee suggested that the best re-ults would he arrived at by the appointment of a special rommittee. following the prec edent set in the case under discussion.
