Ol ott at the instance of the Ore yon Chamber of Commerce. State Senator bean was elected chairman of the commission and Truman Butler temixirary secretary. Mr. I'.utler was also chairman of the resolutions com mittee. In discussing the sessions on his return to 1'ortland Julius Meier, a member of thedeleation, credited Mr. Iditier w ith much of the success of the sessions. "As chairman of the resolutions committee." said Mr Meier, "Mr. l!utler v hailed the course of the entire proceedings. " Other memlwrs of the Oregon dele a'tiin were William Han ley, State Uride Kn-rineer McCullonh and J.' W. Medin. Nine western states and the terrtories of Hawaii and Alaska were represented at the meeting. The men spent a strenuous week. Oregon's congressional delegation aided the men in every way. The results accom plished are considered very jsatisfae tory. The set of resolutions, fovorable to the entire west, was adopted ununi moiisly. Federal aid for noet road 1-uildmg was endorsed and a sliding scale baois of s'.ate cooperation was recommended which will require less than a 5( .rU match of government money by the states in the public land area. Forest loads appropriations aggregating $100, imn.tiiio were urged upon congress at a meeting held Februray 14 before the senate postoffice and post roads corr. mittee, and the formation of a bill was left in the hands of Mr. McDonald chief of the bureau of public roads, and Col. Craves, of the forest service. It was voted to favor extension of post roads to Hawaii and Alaska. The members of the Oregon delega tion ile. dare that they find the North west, and especially Oregon, making a jixlici'His expenditure of funds on roads that compares favorably with such ac tivities in other parts of the country.

Heavis. who has held the otlii for the past four years, has iust r ceived word of his reappointment t the Hood River postoffice. Mr. Keavis, who for many years h:, figured prominently as a Democrat. party man here and at hnterpi ise, where he and his family resided before coming here, is a native of Missouri. tie came to Oregon in 1877. He has been a resident of the West Side orch ard district, where he own an orchard, for the past 17 years. According to plans of the postoffi. e department announced last tall, Mr. Keavis should have been able to ceh -biate his reappointment by removal to a new .home for the local postollice. l'ostftice inspectors last fall called fur biiis on aew quarters, and an offer from C. a. Cass, who proposed to con struct a new building, was accepted. Mr. Cass now states that he cannot ereit the structure on account of the gieat increase of cost of materials anl labor. The pottoffice's stay in its old home, the Masonic building, stems ni di finite. A movement is on foot to make su pination for a federal appropriation for a postoffice building here. It is declared, however, that about sevvi years usually elapse, following the ap plication, before such a structure arises. In the meantime, citizens aie endeavoring to secure suitable tempor ary quarters. REPORT OF CLOSED ROAD RAISES PROTEST Judge Wilson, when he learned Mon day that the regular session of court could be completed in Ibsh than two days and that it would not be necessary to call the trial jury, commended citi zens of the county, on the absence of crime and litigious tendencies. Judge Wilson dismissed all trial jurors who reside more than five miles from the city. He stated that those living closer mitrht be called on March li) on a case involving condemnation of the head waters of Herman creek, which the State Fish Hatchery is seeking for use in an extension of the Bonneville plant. The grand jury, in session o.ilv a few hours, returned a single true bill against Reuben Wells, aged lit, who was charged with forgery of a check. On a recommendation of the jury, Judge Wilson paroled the hoy after sentence to five years in the penitent i arv. Lorenzo Bonailuce, native Italian and overseas veteran, and William Al fred Kelley, aged 60, and born on the Isle of Man, were given their hnal citi zenship papers. Members of the grand jury were : W. L. ( lark, foreman ; Oeo Sheppard, C. D. Hinrichs, W. H. Chip ping, A. t. Howes, 11. I . Allen and .1 B. Doggett. Judge Wilson Tuesday heard the first Indian divorce case ever tiled in Hood River county. Alice Dave was grant ed a decree from Caples Dave. She alleged desertion and infidelity. Judge Wilson granted the young Indian worn an's petition for resumption of her maiden name, Alice Jim. Men. worn en and papooses from the Indian col ony east of the city attended the hear ing. A decree was also granted Mrs. Ma bel Ethel Ford, who claimed that her husband, Gregory Ford, deserted her in 1'ortland in September, 1917, within a month after their wedding in Van couver, Wash. Mrs. roru was given the custody of a baby son. MUNICIPAL BUILDING COMMITTEE NAMED Announcement by contractors that the Columbia Highway would be closed throughout the 2-1 hours of the day be tween here and W'yeth when two shifts of paving ciews are put to work the latter part of April, has aroused a vol ume of protest, and local citizens arc considering an appeal to the State Highway Commission. Portland tiav- eling salesmen, who make their fie fluent calls on patrons by nutomobih , are joining the local folk in a pro'e.-t ai'ainst totallv closing the road. W. J.White, a Portland salesma i, points out that the highway between Portland and Astoria, although in pro cess or pavement last summer, was never closed. In view of the fact thiit no detour is possible between Wveth and Cascade lxicks, Mr. White further charges that the contractors are dila tory in their paving work. He, as well as local citizens, asserts that the short tretch of pavirg between Hood River and Cascade Locks should have been ompleted last summer, li. F. Pomeroy, chief accountant for the Kibbe Construction Co , engaged in the work, declares that the road will be opened every Sunday until the double shift is set to work. He st.ite that the double shift will probably be put to work the latter part of April. Then, he sajs, the road will be closed BERRY PROSPECTS SEEM PROMISING I hi -, i f table cars for moving ai pies :r, tin- wintertime is the most ser otis oti t:t. ie ugainst the future suece s . of t' e apple business, according to K F. 1 'avhl-i.n, w ho w rites : j " Ti.e lo.-es sustained at HimhI Rivi r nloi e hi account of damaged ap( 1 s sh.pped .iiiro g the P.li 20 cold weathi r i ha t ii n i.:!iciei!t to equip enough -f friger.it. r uirs to move the entne jtja t,ly t ecessary to be shipped dur j infcr the col I weather in a crop like th;it jof Ins! fall.

Mr. Davidson declares that the u e of ked.si ie and coke heiitowt has ! ft fiuit con-umers prejudiced ugao-st Northwestern apples because of tne disagreeable flavor given the fruit from snioke and g;is. Mr. Davidson ha re- euiitU mailed letters to prominent r: : I -wa officials asking their coonerat on fi r betterment of the service. In his appeals he says : "Curs which have come through un der heater set vice are just as apt to show heavy frost damage as cam winch were not heated, tioth being slnppiil practically the same daPM. I'lierelore, the actual protection has In e:i .dil'iost nil. "Apples which come through in curs wln ic coal oil or coke heaters have been used are really ruined because tne fumes from thse heaters generate u gas or odor which spoils the flavor of the apnles, with the result that North western box apples are rapidly falling from grace, and unless something is done by the transportation companies to protect apnles from freezing during the winter season, it is fair to assume that the apple industry in the Pacific NorthvMt will very soon be on the de cline. It is impossible for the railway companies to move the heavy tumiagu before danger of frost damage. Fur ther, it is often inqsissible to secure storage space in the east for these ap ples. "It would be the sheerest folly to Willi rtake to market the entire quanti ty upon arrival, if they could be ship ped a- fiist as harvested. It is also in consistent to think of trying to put such vanc'ies as Newtowns, Winesans, Arkansas Blacks and Hen Davis into con-wiiption during the early pait of tne season. Therefore it seems to ma Focal fruit shippers are predicting high prices for straw berries the corning' season, t anning hemes especialK, it is said, are going to be in strong do mand. Some canners have already made tentative offers of a minimum of 1 1 cenU per pound for field pick ber ries. It is likely, however, that only cull stocks will be sold to canners here. Hood River has worked up a strong commercial trade in Clark Seedling berries in the Rocky Mountain and Dakota cities, and even though canners were to offer better figures for the field run product, shippers would hesi tate to sacrifice their commercial pat rons for the canning interests, the do mand of which might be temporary. It appears that the Apple Growers Association will be the only resident concern shipping berries this year. The organization through its affiliated mem bers controls nearly the entire output, and other shipping concerns, it is an nounced, will discontinue participation in the berry deal. MERCHANTS' ASS'N TO BE LAUNCHED mat i he most important problem ,i... .nl ni th.; transportation comna lies is to ino.'ide cars that will actually im ii . t the fruit. W hether this is none by ins olation or artificial heat h of s:i..iil ci)ii-eiuence. Artificial he-1 is d.iui ions, unless it is automata ally com i oiled i r taken care of by special mi- cn.;i r in charge of the cars.

If properly controlled, heat for pu venting damage to a trait, load of fruit would be smull in comparison to t hat necessary for warming a pas sengei train. "As you are no doubt aware, the most serious damage up to the present time has come from penetration of tn.-t tiuoiigh tlimrs. The bottom lay er.- ol Poxes coining througn in severe we.ithe! have been more or less frosted and the losses have been territiic." AITIJJ DISTRIBUTIONS i The city council Monday night took the i first step toward the construction of a I combined city hall and home for the S Volunteer Fire Department by appoint I ing the following committee to investi I gate cost of construction of the pro- posed municipal building: Mark Cam i eron, Kay W.Sinclair, Frank Daven i port and W. T. Price. When the cour. icilmen have secured figures, it is like I ly that a bond issue for the structure will be submitted to voters. ; At the meeting a remonstrance by John G'erdes, who claimed that the contractor had not properly completed the grading of a stretch of Second street between Cascade avenue arid Railroad street, was sustained. Tbe Plans are under way here for a reor panized Merchants' Association. C. O Huelat, who was present at the reient Astoria meeting of Oregon retail mer chants, says that President A. C. Mars tens, of Roseburg, and Sceretary E. A. McLean, of Portland, officers of the new state orgnization, will visit Hood River about the middle of March. For several years the Hood River Merchants' Association has been inac tive. It is the purpose of a number of local business men, with the coopera tion of the visiting state officilas, to launch a strong assocaltion for the val ley. GIBSON MOVEMENT PROVES POPULAR Representatives of the various Parent-Teacher Associations of the county have begun the circulation of petitons for initiation of a bill that will increase the salary of Supt. Gibson to ll.HOo per year More than 100 petitions will be circulated throughout the county.

BIKGE PROPOSED FOR JUDGESHIP While no announcement has been made by Mr. Kirge, citizens are en deavoring to persuade him to be a can didate fur Republican nomination for county judge, to succeed Judge Blow ers, who has tendered his resignation. Mr. Birge, a member of the directorate of the Apple Growers Association and director of the Commercial club, is owner of a Barrett orchard. He has always been a strong booster for the Columbia Highway and for conserva tive but permanent road improvement throughout the valley.
