CLUB BACKS THE
CHINESE RELIEF FUND
The Commercial Club has endorsed
the proposed Hood River county cam
paign for raising $1,525 for aid of the
famine-stricken Chinese. The financial
committee of the club will join F. A.
Olmstead, chairman of the campaign,
in organizing to solicit the funds.
A. F. Flegel, Portland business man,
representing the state organization for
relief of the Chinese, addressed the
club members Tuesday night.
It is difficult for Americans, who
have never been hungry, to visualize
the want and misery stalking through
the northern provinces of the ancient
Oriental country, said Mr. Flegel. Ten
thousnd people, he declared, more than
the entire population of the Hood
River valley, are dying daily. Dead
bodies are blocking streams of the
country he said.
Mr. Flegel said he had no alarm over
Hood River not raising her quota. He
said local organization in such work
was taken as a pattern in other sec
tions of the state.
The visiting speaker pointed out how
Americans of the west coast, leaving
aside the great humanitarian question,
should aid the Chinese, in order to
check the tide of disease, cholera, ty
phus and other scourges, following in
ihe wake of the famine.
Mr. Flegei prefaced his address with
high tribute to Hood River valley, the
scenic assets and the energy and enter
prise of her people.
"I do not know anything about the
relative merits as between the Upper
Valley and the I,ower Valley," said
Mr. Flegel, "but I know, taking the
two together, that you have one of the
most wonderful valleys in the United
States and therefore in the world.
You people do not properly exploit
your wonders."
Mr. Flegel said that he heard a
Hood River man drop a phrase in his
office several years ago, anent the
Hood River prestige, that he had never
forgotten. The visitor explained that
Hood R iver had won her reputation on
the integrity of her pack.

As a stimulation to composition work
the pupils of the sixth grade in Park
Street school have been having some
practical work in letter writing. This
was brought about at this time through
the receipt of letters from school chil
dren in Newberg telling about the
natural and industrial advantages of
that county. The reply letters were
.formulated by the pupils of the sixth
grade, the form of the letters and their
contents, being the composite result of
their class work. One of the letters
and its answer are herewith shown.
Newberg, Oregon, Feb. 24, 1921.
To A Sixth Grade Pupil,
Hood River, Ore.
Dear friend: I am a sixth grade
pupil of the Fernwood School, of New
berg, Oregon. In our Geography's we
were asked to write to you and tell you
about our fruit industry.
We raise lots of fruit and berries
here. We have large prune orchards
on the Dundee hills and we raise ap
ples, pears, cherries, and peaches.
There are also a lot of strawberries,
loganberries, and raspberries raised.
We have a large cannery in Newberg
and another cannery in Springbrook.
Please write and tell me about the
fruit, whea,t and wool industries in
your county. Yo.urs truly,
Effie Powell.
P. S. Please send to my address :
Miss Effie Powell,
Newberg, Oregon. R. D. 2.
Hood River, Oregon, March 10. 1921.
Miss Effie Powell,
Newberg, Oregon.
My dear Miss Powell: We received
your letter telling us about the inter
esting things you do in your county.
The wheat and wool industries are
not important in Hood River county,
but we have fruit. Hood River apples
are very famous. Besides sending
them to many places in the United
States we send some to Europe and
South America.
In the spring we have a special day
called Apple Blossom Sunday, when
thousands of people come to see the
valley in bloom.
We make cider, vinegar and soda
water from cull apples. The city of
Hood River has the largest vinegar
factory west of the Missssippi river.
We also raise strawberries to a great
extent. The largest strawberry patches
are in the Upper Valley near Parkdale.
These vary from ten to fifty acres in
size. Many of these strawberries are
sent to the cities to supply the mar
kets. The rest are sent to nearby
canneries, the cannerv in Hood Kiver
preserves some of the strawberries
which they send to Vogan's in Port
land, to be chocolate coated. This
confection is becoming very popular.
We Have cherry and pear orchards
scattered over the valley, besides other
fruits of less importance.
If you plan on taking a vacation, we
think you would- enjoy spending part
of it at one of our summer resorts.
From your friends,
Sixth B Class,

CLETRAC
We Challenge Them All
A Tractor that is used by over thirtyfive Hood River
and White Salmon Orchardists.
We might say volumes in regard to CLETRAC performances, but the
reproduced letters of owners are far ahead of
anything we might say:
PRICES ARE SAME AS USUAL, 10c & 35c
Hood River, Ore., Mar. 15, 1921
HOOD RIVER GARAGE,
Dear Sirs:
In answer to request as to how the Cletrac
and I are getting along, will say that we have
not had one bit of trouble as yet.
My first experience with the Cleveland Trac
tor, as the Cletrac was then called, was in 1918
at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where Uncle Sam
had three for pulling the large sea-planes out of
the water. They had rubber plates on each
piece of track as they were pulling on cement.
They gave perfect satisfaction.
My tractor arrived on my ranch one' year
ago and with its arrival I sold my team and
wagons and 1 do not expect to ever own another
horse. I found that it will take from $450 to
$500 a year to feed one team, therefore, grant
ing that the tractor.does only the same amount
of work as a team, it will practically pay for
itself, by the saving of the feed bill, in 3 years.
Now for a few facts, I double disced 26 acres
for Mr. Purdy in 10 hours, using 12 gallons of
gas and 3 pints of oil. I pulled 300 trees for Mr.
Boyd Wrhfeh were about 12 to 14 years old in 6
hours and 535 trees for O. L. Walters in 14 hours,
the trees being from 12 to 25 years old. All to
gether I have pulled about 2000 trees besides
doing discing and all my own work,
Needless for me to say. I am perfectly sat
isfied with my Cletrac and the Cletrac service.
Yours truly,
BILL McGUIRE

Gentlemen:
In regard to the Cletrac Tractor purchased
last year, will say it has prooved very adaptable
to general farm purposes, allowing us to perform
a great many varieties of farm work in a most
satisfactory manner in all kitids of weather and
ground conditions.
Respectfully,

Gentlemen:
In regard to your service for the Cletrac
purchased of you, will say you have never given
us any as we have never needed it.
The Cletrac did more than we expected or
you claimed for it and is a good investment. We
cultivated about 175 acres last year with the one
we bought and were out just 15 cts. for repairs,
one broken val ve spring. The Cletrac is all right.

HOOD RIVER GARAGE,
Hood River, Oregon
Gentlemen:
In reply to your letter of inquiry of Jan. 28th
1921, wishing to know how we were pleased with
our CletfM we bought of you last year, wil say
that this is the second Cletrac we have owned.
We have used the tractor last summer with
the best of satisfaction, doing the labor of sev
eral teams on ground that was very rough and
sandy in places, but we have NEVER found a
time where we could not do any work that we
started to do under conditions that horses could
not have done in time.
We can earnestly recommend the Cletrac to
any one who wishes a machine that will never
get mired in but what it can always get out it
self. If we were to get another machine, it
would be the same kind.
Yours truly,
IDEAL FRUIT & NURSERY CO.
