I I USE
I
Will lie Beautiful Mrs. Jetter
Adds Praise
The new camping park for motor
tourists, just opened to the public, is
already winning the plaudits of travel
ers. A patty f tourists heie last
! week, after a trip from southern Cal
ifornia, declared that the park was the
best they had encountered on their
long journey.
The Hood liiver park to dale is only
partly complete. Supt. Price lias just
finished the installation of toilets and
lavatories. Six ovens have been pro
vided for COoking, and a number of
neat tables have been placed beneath
the shelter of oaks that grow on neai ly
all paits of the three acre tract. Other
conveniences will be added at once,
and the plot will be leveled and attrac
tive shrubbery will be planted. The
Woman's Club has offered Mr. Pi ,
the cooperation of its membt is, and it
is the imbit ion of local people to make
the camping park one of the beauty
spots or the city.
In its rough condition the park has
won the praise of Mrs. Fred Jetter, of
Chewelan, Wash., whosaye:
"I would call it ("amp Comfort. The
city tdmuM erect sign along the High
way. It certainly makes travelers tool
as though they were Welcome in Hood
River when they arrive at a place so
conveniently equipped, "
Numerous local people have visited
the park, and lis shaded nooks are ap
pealing for picnics. The city, how
ever, will limit such use of the plot. A
limit will also be placed upon the time
of tourists using the plot. Otherwise,
it is said, it would soon be overrun
with strawberry harvest hands, a large
nerecentage of whom come to the val
ley in their own automobiles.
Additional land, adjoining the auto
mobile park, according to plans, may
be acquired by the city. At a recent
special election citizens gave the city
council the authority of expending
funds for park purposes. The city
charter originally denied the city fath
ers such lowers.
The park property was donated to
the city last year by the Commercial
club and the Volunteer Kire Depart-
ment, the members of these organiza
tions railing sufficient funds to buy the
place from proceeds of Fourth of Julv
concessions.
J.W. Copper, who is custodian at the
auto park, states that 110 carloads of
campers spent Sunday and Monday
there. He says all campers have praise
to offer for the conveniences provided
by the city.
TART APPEALS FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
William Howard Taft is not discour
aged over an ultimate ratification of
the League of Nations, as he told I
Hood River audience in an address at
the high school Sunday afternoon, hul
lie believes it will only come with the
election of a DOW president who will
listen to reasonable reservations.
"God speed such a day," said Judge
Taft, as h emended his talk.
Judge Taft came here over the High
way. He was scheduled to arrive at
12.I50 o'clock, but was delayed en
route. Following a luncheon at the
Hotel Oregon, it was proposed that tie
be taken to the top of the Columbia
gorge III the apple district for a view
of Mount Hood. The delay, however,
rt occulta tod rushing a luncheon at
tended by 30 prominent citizens, and
again the distinguished visitor was dis
appointed In minting a s i y h t. of Ore
gon's great mountain, which he de
clares he ha.- had to take on faith.
introduced by Mayor Scobee, Mr
Taft made a short talk at the luncheon
in praise of Hood River apples, lie
declared that he had never found any
thing in all the world to excel a juicv
Hood River Delicious.
Judge Taft gently but nevertheless
tellingly decried the action of the sen
ate in its obstinate handling of On1
League of Nations and President Wil
son for bin stubborn persistency in de
clining to accept reservations that will
have no effect on the great purpose of
the League.
"Our chief magistrate may change
his mind," he said, "and that is a eon
summation devoutly to be hoped for.
but in the face of past events hardly
to be expected. I have never found
myself able to agre'e with my friend,
WillianvJennings Bryan," on anything
(Hiiltiral, but in the matter of the
league of Nations he and I are in
thorough at cord. "
Judge Taft prefaced his address with
remarks on the significance of Memor
ial Day and a tribute to Civ. I War vet
erans who sat upon the stage. He
characterized the war of the Revolu
tion and the Civil war as Pertaining
Solely to ourselves, iie declared the
latter a necessary surgical operation
for the removal of the fatal disease
slavery, "an excision by arms to free
us of the cancerous growth."
"But," he said, "we ttepped forth
from our swaddling clothes when we
entered the Spanish-American War.
We became a world power by freeing
Cuba ard saving the Philippines from
Spain and them.-tlves. In the great
b .r.;ean war we were made to know
that we had Ireeorrje a leader among
the nations of the world."
This preface gave Mr. Taft a good
start toward an appeal for the l eague
of Nations, which he dtrlaris America
should ratify if the world cinches the
purposes of the great war. With the
league of Nations as a subn ,
world evert, he declared, the great
war may le said to have been fought
to prevent further su. h terrible world- i
. The V
hief executive and the obstinacy of
President W Ison in failing to treat
with the former. He said the long de
bate of the lenate, whe; much talk
seems a necessity, might all have been
well, but that in his opinion the world
would not have lost anything it it
had been cut half in two.
He explained how It was necessary
to have 48 senrtirs vote for rati .ca
tion of the league, in order to secure
such a Consummation. Sixteen sena
tors were unalterably opposed to any
league, 40 were pro-Wilson, and 40
were reservstionis ta. He then showed
the alight difference of agreement, bj
which the great document has been
withheld from ratification, and decried
such action on the part of the repre
sentatives of the peetple of Hie nation.
He gave a concise explanation of the
terms of the covenant and of the reser
vations proposed, and left bis audience
wondering how their national legisla
tors of the upper house of congress and
the chief magistrate could have acted
so childlike, as apparently has been
the result.
Judge Taft stated that President
Wilson had advanced unanswerable ar
gUOtent in stating ti.at be vetoed the
proposed congressional p ace resolu
tion with Germany, because it accom
plished no end, but, the speaker said.
Mr. Wilson was delaying the League
and Treaty by an obstinate refusal to
eonai ler reservations that would in re
ality have DO effect on the great pur
poses of the document.
Judge Taft was Introduced at the
high School by Ceo. R. Wilbur, who
declared that he had thoroughly en
shrined himself ip the hearts of the
people of the nation by bis devotion to
research and study of great national
Issues following hrS return to private
life.
