Butler Banking Co. I loon River , Oregon M Oldest Bank in Hood River Val ley J i i CROWD IS INDICATED PAVING CELEBRATION PLAN GROWS Fredricy Hears That Folk of All Districts Are Eagerly Awaiting l.obor Day Responses being received from Mult nomah county and prominent citizens of other rcctinns of the state, who have been invited to participate in the event, indicate that the Hood River county celebration, Labor Day, of the completion of paving on the Columbia Highway between here and Portland will be the most laregly attended af fair ever held here. Members of dis trict committees have telephoned or written to J. H. Fredricv, who is in charge of the celebration, that hundreds of families are planning on bringing their picnic lunches and joining the crowd at Chautauqua park. Mr. Fred ricy In an appeal to committees says: "Many prominent people of Hood River county have been urging a cele bration to commemorate, the comple tion of the Columbia River Higwhav through to Hood River and are desirous of expressing their appreciation fo the wonderful achievement thus fat accomplished by the Oregon State Highway Commission, especially that hody s chairman. Simon Benson. Long years ago a prominent citizen of this .state dreamed of a wonderful highway over the hill, through shady dells, over rock nlihed chasms, hy th foot of beautiful waterfalls, along the bank of the mighty Columbia to Inland umpire. I ins man was K. Henry Wemme. He did not live to enjoy the realization of his dream, for soon after acquainting intimate friends of his hopes the grim reaper took him from our midst. "Some time after, the story goes Mr. liensoii, wishing to take an auto mobile trip from Oregon to California shipped his automobile from Portland to Tm Dalles. He sat on the deck of the boat and as they steamed up Hit Columbia a vivid interpretation of Wemme'a dream came to him as he gazed at the wondrous beauties of tin Oregon shore. Upon histrtturn to Or egon he immediately became active ii the construction of the great highway. making his first attack with personal hinds at .Shell Koek mountain. Since that time this man has been closely identified with highway development all over the ftate, and it is httmg and proper that the people of Hdbd liivel county meet at this time and do him honor, for he lias done much for us. "This is the greatest celebration un dertaken hy il ill Kiver count y tor a long lime It is a celebration in which every man, woman and child should participate." DETOURS MAKE PA CIFIC HIGHWAY BAD FAIR JUNKET TOUR WAS SUCCESSFUL The Hood River County Pair Hoard plana on making an annual event of a tour of the Valley and picnic, InMgU rated last Friday when the board mam bera, accompanied bv about 88 business men and ranchers, motored to the places of representative stock raisei a and fruitgrowers. The paity reached Lava Bed park shortly after noon where a picnic lunch was served. The junkets will be taken for pur pose of stimulating interest in the fain and to permit, growers to exchange! ideas and information gained through) experiments. All who participated in the tour of last week declare the plans for an annual junket a good one. It is urn posed that next year the number of ranchers on the 'unket be increased to a hundred or more. (Jeneral interest in the fair is re ported on the increase. The Public Health Department, with Mrs. Glen dora Klakely in chaige, will participate actively in the fair, and demonstrating of weighing and measuring children for nutrition tests will be made. This demonstration is thought approiuiat at this time, in that the school districts will soon be equipped with weighing and measuring devices. The fair Imard is endeavoring to pro mote me Art in r.very tiome move ment at the approaching fair. "We will have an excellent collection of prints," says P. L. Mauser, in charge of art exhibit?. "They have been obtained from the American Fed eration of Arts. Washington, D. C, and will be displayed with a collect nm of masterpiece-originals owned by local folk. We will have prints of such masters as Keith, Alexander, Corot, Innes, Wilson, Sargent. We will have a large number of reproductions for sale at reasonable figures." Good school Fair Looms Sept. Gibson says that he expects valley schorl children to stage the liest industrial school fair given here sinre the custom was inaugurated eight years ago. After a tour of all school districts fee says he finds the youngsters ready with an unusually large assort ment of displays and with a quality better than the average. He pays a tribute to teachers for their intcn-t in the school fairs, declaring that they are largely responsible in getting chil dren enthused over raising gardens and participating in other projects. Girls of several disrtirts will pr -ci t canningTclub work, and demonstrations n canning will tie given during the fair, which will be held together with the adult fair September Hi, 17 and Ik. Mr. and Mr.4. A. I). Moe, accompan ied by their daughter. Miss Frances, left last Tursdav on a week's motor tour of the Puget Sound country. Their schedule called for visita at the homes of Mr., and Mrs. Ben Snyrjer and Mr. and Mrs. Mudgett, of Taeoma, and Mr. and Mrs. William Ni block, of Victoria, B. C Mr. Moe writes as follows of his experiences on the wav north: Got to Tacoma Friday afternoon without mishap, after negotiating 100 miles of rough roads over detours, making an average time of 10 miles per hour. Near Castle Pock we were stopped by a deputy sheril! who want ed to commandeer our car to catch a party of gypsies who had robbed a store, but we talked him out of it and went on. Gas situation bad up here. We will not attempt to drive to Van couver. Am spending today (Sunday) at Vashon island on the Sound at Mudgett 'a summer home. Kxpect tot leave tonight for Seattle and will take the boat there for Victoria. We have been complaining about the delay in grading and paving the Co lumbia Highway, but the way work progresses on the racme Highway be tween Vancouver and 1 aroma Hie work on the Columbia Highway has been re markably fast. Roads are good from Tacoma and Olyrnpia in every direction except toward Portland. We learned that there was one bad detour on the Canadian side toward Vancouver, which is 200 miles from here. This, with the g'is shortage, and the dis- inanteliiig of car to cross on the feny, has decided ua to take the boat from Seattle and leave the car there. As to road conditions: There is pavement a short distance out of Van couver, then the detours start.. In fact it is mostly detour from there to Olyrnpia, with the accent on the de tour. The first detour has a few miles of pavement. Then comes wornout macadam and cut uodirt road to Kelso. The next detour starts there and took us over hills with as high as 15 per cent grade and full of chuck holes. We h"k it slow and averaged 10 miles an hour, but in spite of caution and slow driving we got many nasty jolts. Prances was in the back seat and says she hit the top of the car four times We made Winlock the Inst night and managed to get rooms and lairly dc rent meals, r-ranees and I took in picture show in an old ramshackle iiuilding, and during the show I was sure 1 felt an earthquake, as the build mg trembled and shook from side to lide. We alterwanls concluded it was i train going along close to the build ng, but the artist who was dispensing a oil the piano had drowned the sound of the cars. We nit in Saturday forenoon around Tacoma and in the afternoon went tc uyallup and Sumner, At the formi place we met W H. I'aolhamu. wh conducted us through the lug cannery a wonderful institution.
