Banking System Stronger
Patriotic service of the country in time of war has
made the American Banking system popular with the
people.
There is not a week or a day or an hour that the coun
try banks are not called upon to render such service.
There is no place of business where so many people
call for advice in matters of everyday business as at the
home bank.
Matters in regard to loans, investments, insurance,
building or changes in business are discussed over the
bank counters.
It is all a part of the day's work with the banks in our
cities and country towns to serve their customers in this
way.
It goes in with the other service the bank renders of
taking deposits, making loans and selling exchange.
The First National Bank is proud of the fact that its
customers make use of its services in this manner.

Renting
But You Don't
Get It
Ten years rent won't get you anywhere you just pay
rent, then you pay some more rent. Of course, you have
a place to live between times but the house isn't yours, it
never will be and it's not exactly as you would like to have
it anyway. Sad but true, so there's no use arguing.
A little extra work is required to get a home. But if home
owning didn't require some individual effort the saying,
"There's No Place Like Home," would be all bunk.

Apple Packing Close to End
The Hood River end Davidson Fruit
companies Saturday completed pack
ing cut their crop of apples, a total of
60,000 boxes. Five parkins; plants
were operated, one of them at the re.
m ivino- station of the Hood River com
pany 'a warehouse hers.
Growers in sll parts of the valiev
completed their packing operations the
paat week, and it is estimated thst an
approximate 1,700,000 boxes of the
valiev s total tonnage of i,000,0"
boxes have been packed.
The Hood River Gun club, organized
only last spring, held its tirst annual
China pheasant banquet at the Colum
bia Gorge hotel Friday night. With
about 60, including members, their
wives, sweethearts and friends present,
the occasion was one of the most pleas
ant recently participated in by Hood
River folk.
The dinner was truly a banquet, and
each diner was nerved with a half of a
roasted pheasant. The birds were
killed by members of the organization.
Between courses and following the din
ner the banqueters danced.
Capt. A. E. Burghduff, introduced by
Ernest C. Smith, was chief speHker of
the banquet. In his introductory re
marks Mr. Smith stated that he was
high gun of the local club. Indeed, he
declared that he held his gun so high
that he missed 25 pigeons in succession
at a shoot.
Capt. Burghduff, who, however, inti
mated that he might be a fisherman
among the royalty of the disciples of
Sir lzaak Walton, told of an experi
ence of his own in a shoot. He missed
all hut one of GO clay pigeons. A
woman shooter broke two birds, and as
a result Capt. Burghduff won a booby
prize.
Capt. Burghduff told of the work of
the Oregon State Game funJ in sup
porting Mrs. Denny, wife of Judge
Denny, who brought China pheasants
to Oregon.
"We have been giving $50 per month
for several years toward her mainte
nance," said Capt. Burghduff, "and
will continue to do so as long as Bhe
lives. The China pheasant, which now
has been intermixed largely with the
Mongolian pheasant, a large bird, ami
the English Ringneck pheasant, which
were introduced subsequently.
"1 believe the China pheasant is due
to become the game bird of Oregon,
and very likely the game bird of the
nation. They thrive in our climate,
and the chief reason that they are pop
ular as game birds is that they may be
reared under domestic conditions, but
when they are released they become
wild at once. Taken in coops to the
country, they leave in tlight, when the
lids are lifted, and they do not alight
until they reach brush, which seems to
offer hiding. They become wild at
once.
"We have a good deal of expense in
Oregon in maintaining game wardens.
This work is necessary but of vastly
more importance is that of conducting
campaigns of education throughout the
state. Last year we collected a total
of $160, 0(H) for the game fund. Of this
$65,000 was spent for wardens. Most
of the remainder was for propagation
work. We are necessarily limited ir.
educational work. This must be pur
sued by such organization aa youra
here. The state had at one time the
so-called Oregon Sportsmen's LeagaM
which went by the boards because it
was not founded on the right basis or
as a result of politics. But we cer
tainly need some such statewide or
ganization now.
"Road campaigns by state and na
tional interests have opened up our
fields and streams, until now even the
wildest places are fairly accessible.
We wonder why there are no tish in
our streams or game in our fields.
When we think of how easy it is to get
out for them, it is easily explained.
No game birds are seen today along
our main highways. At the last ses
sion of the legislature 1 introduced a
bill, which would have prohibited the
carrying of loaded firearms along high
ways. It was defeated. I had some
uncomplimetary remarks passed about
it. Yet the time is coming when we
must have some such legislation, in
order to save for the state this great
asset of fish and game, which go hand
in hand with the scenic asset. We
want to develop a type of tourist who
will visit 'our state each summer.
"The idea in some place.' seems to
prevail that the state game department
exists from legislative appropriation.
In fact it is the only state department
that la self -supporting. We derive our
income from license fees and we get a
half of the fines assessed for violation
of game aws. Sportsmen of the state
should take a pride in the fact that on
their shoulders rests the responsibility
for game preservation."
Capt. Burghduff warned sport sirs n
from a tendency of going to the legis
lature and asking for appropriations.
He urged them to keep clear of poli
tics. He ended his seech by saying:
"I will not get started on fishing. I
could tell some stories and yarns as big
as those of any of you here. But I
learned a lesson down at Eugene not
very long ago. The gun club there
was serving banquet. They had fried
chicken. It was fine and I enjoyed it,
but 1 wanted a little joke, too. I an
nounced that it was China pheasant.
Some of the brethren of .the presa were
there, and 1 asked them to kindly re
frain from announcing that pheasant
was being served, as the season was
closed. That pheasant story, however,
got stared somehow or other, and I
have never heard the last of it."
DR. SIFTON THIS
OF LEGION MEETING
The outstanding feature of the Kan-1
saa City convention of the Americar.
Legion, according to Dr. J. W. Sifton,
of the local Post, who attended as one
of the Oregon delegates and who re
turned Friday night, was the apparent
desire of the organization to work only
in behalf of measures that will be of ,
general good to all ex-service men. All ,
resolutions that tended toward local or
sectional projects were turned down.
"The only local mention that was
I granted," says Dr. Sifton. "was that
i accorded to a representative of the Ho-
quiam.Wash., Post, who was permitted
to take the floor ana present picture
to the legion borne of that place, the
first erected in America. The speaker
had scarcely started however, when
nme .,te called him down, asking if
1 the convention was for the purpose of
exploiting local orators. "
j Dr. Sifton MaHtf itu hm to the
! convention a portfolio of pictures, de
Iserptiveof the tirst annual Mount Hood
' climb staged last July by the local ex
I service men. While he did not endeav
or to present an invitation for partici
j pation in the climb of next year to the
convention body, he succeeded by per
sonal work in advancing a great inter
est in the recreational stunt, he says.
Dr. Sitfon was a member of the Re
habilitation committee, one of the most
important of the convention. Director
Forbes, of the amalgamated bureaus,
working in behalf of ex-service men,
was present before his committee for
a number of conferences. While the
convention. Dr. Sifton cites, could only
adopt resolutions, it did some strong
work along this line. The 'resident
and Congress came, in for heavy criti
cism for failure to adopt the Adjusted
Compensation measure iast summer.
"If all the ex-service men in the
country," says Dr. Sifton, "could sense
the unselfish work of the American
Legion as a body for the good of all of
them, they would at once get into their
home oragnizations. As an organiza
tion, the Legion was not mentioned in
any of the Kansas City acivities. All
thought was for the ex-soldier and
sailor and his good.
Dr. Sifton said the attendance of
Foch, Freshing, Beatty, Jaques and
Diaz, leaders in the world war, and
Vice President Coolidge resulted in
great enthusiasm. He declare? he has
never seen such a crowd.
The action of the Legion this year
was largely a ratification of the things
promulgated laBt year. While the spirit
of the men had remained unchanged on
the Japanese exclusion, Dr. Sifton says
they were prevailed upon to take no
additional action because of the forth
coming Washington disarmament con
ference. The Legion ratified its former
expression, however, for an absolute
exclusion of Japanese.
Dr. Sifton, before the Legion con
vention, spent a week at Philadelphia
attending the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons. About 2,000 surgeons from all
parts of America were present.
WAGNER SAYS CROP
WAS NEVER FINER
"I have nver seen a finer apple
crop in the Hood River valley." says
W. F. Wagner. Philadelphia manufac
turer, who is here looking after the
harvest of a 33-acre bearing tract in
the Willow Flat country. "The apples
are cleaner and are grading out better
than in any year 1 have owned my
place. "
Mr. Wagner keeps a record of his
apple grades. In one lot out of 1100
boxes, the fruit was segregated by
packers as follows : 650 extra fancy,
466 fancy and 44 C-grade. All of his
Hi. 000 box harvest, he says, will run in
this proportion.
Mr. Wagner is a booster for good
roads, and has always endeavored, he
says, to influence a vote here favorable
to bonds for better highways, although
his Philadelphia, residence has pre
vented him from casting a ballot.
"I am gladly willing to pay taxes to
refund these highway bonds," tays
Mr. Wagner. "The roads have done
more than anything else to build up
the valley. The Columbia River High
way is Oregon's greatest asset. I have
frequently steered friends, on a tour
of the f'acific Northwest, over the
Highway. In every instance they have
thanked me on the return home and
have become enthusiastic over it as 1.
"The Highway has lasen of direct
aid to us in harvesting our apples. I
do not know how we would get our
harvest help but for the road running
in here. A large percentage of the
pickers, and they were among the most
dependable we had, motored in with
their families this year. Hundreds of
California fruit .workers motored here
to participate in apple picking."
MISS SPRING GIVES
RANCH TO HOSPITAL
Miss A. M. Spring has made good
her promise of an 8-arre East Side
ranch, a short distance out on the East
Side, for a community hospital. She
has deeded the place in trust to E. O.
Blanchar, member of a committee re
cently appointed to develop plans for
financing the institution. The property
is deeded without any stringH attached,
other than the place must be sold and
the proceeds utilized within the next
five years.
Miss Spring, whose home was orig
inally in Pittsburgh, has been noted for
i . r nh luol hrrmv. Iliirinir the war the
entire cropB of fruit from the East Side
place were harvested and shipped to
Koothi ( 'aliforn ih cantonments for
ditsribution to soldiers and sailors.
Miss Spring still owns an orchard place
in the Will 'W Flat district. She makes
her winter home, however, at Corona-
do, Calif.
A handsome bungalow has been built
on the place, commanding a fine view of
the valley and Mount Hood. tonerv
ative estimates place the value of the
place at $5,000.

next week. Mr. Manser will go to
Portland with products pnd will person
ally present them to the visiting Gran
gers from all parts of the Union. The
plans of making an exhibit at the
Grange convention were initiated by
Park Grange. Grangers and citizens
of all parts of the valley soon fell in
line, and Monday, when a committee
visited business men and orchardists
funds were quickly Taised for financing
the publicity scheme.
Hood River Grangers, too, are mak
ing preparations for welcoming all del
egates to the national meeting who
may come here over the Columbia
Kiver Highway.
APPLE CROP BEING
ROLLED WITH SPEED
Never has the Hood River apple crop
been shipped with such dispatch as dur
ing this season. Up to Saturday night
the total shipments from the valley
have reached 1,035 carloads. Agent
Kreilricy estimates that the total ship
ments will reach around 2,600 cars.
Many growers last year had not com
pleted picking during the first week in
November, and much of the crop re
mained unpacked. Growers here will
complete their packing this week. In
deed, most of the orchardists have al
ready entirely cleamed up harvest
work.
The Apple Growers Association esti
mates that it has received at its ware
houses approximately 75 per cent of
the tonnage of its members. Deliver
ies have reached 060,389 boxes, and of
this a total of 4711, !)10 have been deliv
ered. I'lenty of refrigerator cars are
available here now, and the apples are
moving out of the valley at the rate of
ahout 35 carB per day.
CONTRACTORS HERE
TO VIEW HIGHWAY
If the activity of contractors, whose
representatives are visiting here daily
to go over the rights of way of a 10
mile unit of the valley trunk of the
M.t. Hood I,oop Highway, may be
taken as an indication, some spirited
bidding will be received by the St 'te
Highway Commission, which will let
the contract for the road grading the
latter part of this month. The esti
mated cost of grading reaches $90,000.
Hood Kiver county will have left al
most sufficient funds to pay for its
half or. this unit, left from a $150,000
block of bonds recently sold to finance
the grading of the 5-mile Booth Hill
unit, now under construction. The to
tal of bonds voted by the county for
the trunk road last spring reaches
$350,000.
Contractors while here are also look
ing over the 4-mile unit just south of
the city. While no official statement
has been made, it is announced that
the contract for this section of the
road will be let soon. The first mile
of the section near the city will be the
most expensive on the entire route, as
the road must be cut out from the
rocky side of the Hood river gorge.
