WHAT SERVICE
MEANS
That word SERVICE is pretty much over
worked these days, but the definition by
Arthur W. Ingalls as it appeared in a recent
publication is worthy of all of our space this
week :
"Service is something more than attention, some
thing more than earnestness, something more than
salesmanship. It is likewise much more than the
sum total of the three. It is thoughtful, kindly,
human- and not a mere impulse to automatic action.
It depends not alone on courtesy and considera
tion of individual requirement, but rather on a
pleasant anticipation of personal wants and desires.
It means far more than routine activity; it means
feeling, sincerity, initiative - the giving of something
which cannot be purchased. This alone is service.'

LEGION HOOD CLIMB
TO BE ELABORATE
The Hood River Post of the Ameri
can legion began last week a search
over the entire Pacaic Coast for Harry
Siries, former cook of old Company, 12
Oregon Coast Artillery. The Post
wants Sinea to take charge of the
kitchen of a camp to lie estabishled on
tie base of Mount Hood, Jnly 30 and
31, when the organization will stage
an ascent of the snow peak. R. L
Foust, mess sergeant of the old roast
artillerry unit, mobilised from here M
world war service, will have charge of
purchasing supplies for the mountain
climbing party. The two men
were exceedingly popular with their
comrades, a large number of whom
will participate in a reunion on the
recreation.
The increasing popularity of Mount
Hood and its availability as the result
of better roads resulted a short time
ago in members of the lcoal Legion
Post considering an ascent. As the
proposal! were discussed, they grew
ambitious and elaborate, and finally
the Hood River Post decided to make
the annual ascent of Mount Hood a
feature in national circles of the or
ganization of ex-service men. While
the short notice of this year will limit
the initial climb to Oregonians chiefly.
Dr. J. W. Sifton, who will represent
the local Post at the national conven
tion, will tell of next year's proposed
mountain climb. Letters and printed
matter on the event hae gone forward
to all posts, and it is expected that
eventually the annual American Legion
ascent of Mount Hood will attract
great attention.
"The excursion of this year, how
ever," Commander Edward W. Van
Horn says, "will be far in excess of
our expectations a week ago. Press
announcements of our plans have re
sulted in scores of inquiries pouring in
from all parts of the state. It looks
as though we will have a hundred or
more Legion men and their families
from other parts of the state. Purl
land will probably furnish the heaviest
outside list of recreationists. The plan
has been received geneialiy with en
thusiasm. Kent Shoemaker, chairman of the
committee in charge of arranging for
the mountain climb, last Friday re
cived a telegram from Governor Olcott,
who expressed his desire of climbing
Hood with the ex-soldiers. Other
members of the ascent committee are:
Edward W. Van Horn, Harold Hersh
ner, Robert L. Foust and Geo. R. Wil
bur. The trip to a camp, which will be as
tablished near Cooper Spur, will be
made parly by automobile and partly
by hiking. Cars w ill leave the city at
1 p. m. Saurday, July 30. From the
homestead place of J. 0. Harmon, the
hike into the mountain meadow ramn
will cover a mile and a half. Wal
ter B. Davidson, ex-army pack ser
geant and said to be one of the best
pack train men in the Northwest, will
have charge of transporting bedding
and equipment from the llannum place
to the camp. Mike Brennan. of Port
land, Will be in charge of songs around
the campfire Saturday night.
Mark Weygandt, veteran guide, who
has already made 4!)0 registered trips
np the mountain, will have charge of
the party on the ascent. He will be
assisted by several skilled lieutenants.
BINGEN VEGETABLES
SELL HIGH HEBE
The ruin of lowland gardens'!. y the
recent Columbia freshet has resulted
in high prices for vegetables here.
The lowland truck gardeners for the
past fivo vears have not only supplied
the local" market hut have shipped
out vegetables in ton quantities. 1 ne
community had grown to depend on the
production of the fertile bottom lands.
This year most of the vegetables sold
by local grocers are shipped in.
Local consumers have interested
themselves the past few days in trac
ing shipments of vegetables grown by
Japanese truck gardeners ol Bingen,
just across the Columbia and in sight
Of the town. The produce is sold to a
Portland broker, who sells to commis
sion men here. The latter sells to the
Hood River Produce Exchange, who
distributes it to the grocers. The pro
cess results in expensive vegetables
for Hood River tables.
COUNTY INSPECTOR
KINDS EIRE BLIGHT
County Fruit Inspector Armstrong
has discovered lire blight, one of the
most deadly diseases attacking fruit
trees, in Upper Vall v orchards. It is
believed the dread pest has been
brought In by birds or high winds from
eastern forests The disease has heen
advancing for several years from east
ern parts of the state. The blight af
fects nali.e shrubs and its eradication
is thus made difficult.
Mr. Armstrong says the Upper Val
ley discovery is nothing to alarm grow
ers if they will immediately get busy
and cut "out the affected Krtions of
trees. Fire blight, if handled by the
cooperative efforts of all growers of
districts can be eradicated quickly.
MERCHANTS TO
VISIT HOOD
TRIP PLANNED FOR NEXT SUNDAY
K. ol P. Band Will Accompany Recrea
tionists and Will Give Concere
From the Snowline
The Hood River Business Men's As
sociation, in an effort to popularize
Mt. Hood and to acquaint local busi
ness folk and all their clerical forces
with features of the trip from here to
loud Cap Inn, will stage a picnic near
Cloud Cap Inn Sunday, July 24. Trucks
and automobiles will convey the party
to the Inn. Homer A. Rogers, host ai
the Inn, is cooperating toward making
the business men's excursion a success.
Mr. Rogers plans on personally pilot
iug parties over the more accessible
snow fields and glaciers. No attempt
will be made to climb the mountain.
The Knights of Pythias band will ac
company the excursion, and the band
men will give a concert from the snow
line. It is said that this will be the
first occasion on which a musical or
ganization has ever visited the moun
tain. Mr. Rogers says that Hood River
folk know too little of the mountain,
one of their greatest assets. He de
clares that at present, because so few
local people nally know the mountain,
that it is difficult for transient motor
ists to secure reliable information at
local places of business. Following
the junket to Cloud Cap Inn. Mr. Rog
ers plans on sending weekly bulletins
on road conditions and other mountain
information direct to all stores and
places of business.
Formerly such an excursion as is
planned by the merchants and their
families was out of the- question be
cau e of the 30 per cent grade on the
Cloud Cap Inn road at China Fill.
Mr. Rogers has just completed a new
road, the maximum grade of which is
15 per cent. The improvement has
greatly stimulated automobile traffic
to the mile-high hostelry.
EAST FORK DISTRICT
WINS HIGH PRAISE
H. A. Wentworth, here last week to
gather data on local irrigation districts
for the United States Department of
Agriculture, says that the East Fork
Irrigation district, covering the East
Side of the Hood River valley, is one
of the must CO BOO lately recorded on the
Pai 0C Coast, Mr. Wentworth. who
states that the federal government is
canvassing nil western states, securing
first hand information on legal proced
'dintr up to the formation of ir-
i.i ,..) 1i.trlcis and methods of their
operation subsequent ly.
"The Oregon laws, I believe," said
Mr. Wentworth, "are the best in the
country. And I was able to get more
data on the Fast. Fork district here in
an hour's talk with the secretary, Geo.
R. Wilbur, than I gained in a week's
investigation of Home districts. The
facta of the local district are all down
in orderly fashion, and when 1 asked a
question the secretary merely had to
turn to his records. The Department
of Agriculture is seeking this data in
an endeavor to standardize water
legislation in all of the arid states, and
thus placing itself in position to aid in
land reclamation."
TRUNK CONTRACT TO
BE LET JULY 28
It was announced last week by Judge
Hasbrouck that the State Highway
Commission will call for bids on the
grading of the Booth Hill unit of the

APPLE ESTIMATES
ARE AGAIN CUT
A further reduction in the prospects
for an apple crop has been made since
the June report of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, the July report of the Bu
reau estimating the total production
for the United Stales at 102,190,000
bushela as compared with a final crop
in MO of 2in,ll2,00() bushels. The
commercial crop is estimated at 17,
066,006 barrels in contrast with 36,
272,000 bushels, last year and 26,174,000
barrels in 1910.
The Pacific Coast and Northwest
states along with a few of the New
England Btmtes promise a heavier yield
of apples than last year whereas all
the middle western and Ohio valley
states will have a much lighter crop.
Washington promises to lead the states
this year with a July 1 estimate of 5,
463.000 barrels of commercial apples.
Last year New lork was the heaviest
producer with a final estimate on the
commercial crop at 9,275,000 barrels.
Missouri will only have about a tenth
as manv apofcas as in IttO and several
other states in the Mississippi valley
will not fare much better. Virginia
which produced 2,:;0.oon barrels of
commercial apples last year has a fore
cast for a crop ef 255.000 barrels.
