Kram in which prominent local folk
and visitors will participate.
Speaking of the coming sessions,
Mrs. Lage gays
"The institute committee has been
fortunate in securing Dr. E. O. Sisson,
of Reed College, as one of the principal
speakers. Dr. Sisson was for a num
ber of years dean of the College of Ed
ucation at the University of Washing
ton. He was attracted to Reed College
by its progressive principles and was
dean of the college and professor of
philosophy there for one year, at
which time he was appointed commis
sioner of education for the state of
Idaho. He resigned after.three years
to accept the presidency of the Uni
versity of Montana. Wishing to have
more time to devote to his writings he
resigned from the U. of M. to become
professor of philosophy at Reed Col
lege, where he gives special courses to
seniors. Don t forget to h-.-ar this
great educator-speak Saturday after
noon, nis topic being, 'the Aims of
hducation in the United States.'
The meeting tomorrow will be held
in the Grange hall by kind permission
oi the trustees. .Saturday and Sunday
evenings the meetings will be held iii
the community church.
"We want the attendance, interest
and enthusiasm to be such as will
make the speakers and those who take
part in the program, leave with the
assurance that their efforts have been
worth while. They are showing their
interest in humanity and this commun
ity by serving us sacrilicially. Your
presence will be a practical expression
of your appreciation of their services,
and of your interest in the welfare of
the community. It's up to you."

would have a perpetual process of
profit-making.
"Mr. Butler said he had a mere rev
olutionary scheme. He had read that
a San Francisco medical firm whs de
manding ants in the use of a certain
drug. He had learned that aphids
were used by ants as milk cows, that
the insects exuded a kind of honev
which the ants, acting as herd
ers, ate and thrived upon. He sug
gested that we specialize in woolly
aphids;that these be collected from
all apples coming to our plant ii...t we
secure a large number of ants and then
start an ant farm, allowing the aphids
to be fed from pomace, to be herded
by the ants which will feed upon their
milk. Our first profits, he said, would
be utilized when we first sheared the
wool from the aphids. Then, as ants
became too old to act as good herders
we would dry them and ship them to
the San Francisco medicine firm. His
process, too, was perpetual, without
need for expenditures after the initial
investment. He and I have formed
the Butler-Rooker Investment Co. If
anyone can advance any more attrac
tive schemes than ours we will be glad
to buy them, paying for them in shares
of Btock.

W. A. ROOKER TALKS
TO LUNCH CLUB
UNGER & LENZ
It ia anticipated that the Hood River
Automotive Dealers Association and
i ther bodies here will take formal ac
ton this week in appealing to the State
Highway Commission to hasten the
woik of Hearing the Ice blockade of
the Columbia Highway between here
and the Multnomah county line. The
road is now open from here to Viento
and between Wyeth and Cascade
Locks. Only a short stretch of ice
bound road, between Viente and Wytth
in the Shell Rock mountain vicinity
remains. ThoniHs Lacey, who worked
on clearing the road just before Chn-t-mas
says the drift of ice and sleet can
be removed in a very short time by
use of adequate machinery.
The Dalles civic organizations have
written heie urging the local automo
bile dealers' organization to cooperate
with them in getting the highway
leared. Harry Connaway, president
of the Hood River Business Men's As
sociation, says that.his organisation is
ready to join in the petition for an
early clearing of the road.
Money is available for clearing the
t olumbia Kiver Highway of snow in
Multnomah county, but the county
commissioners decided Monday to lake
a couple of more days to decide what
to do. An eight -foot roadvay can 1
cleared to the Hood River c unty lint
fur i7,f)0, or the lull wiuth can be
cleared for $ I fit lot), affording to cti
mates of C. (, Kelley, assistant state
highway engineer, who made a repot t
to the Multnomah count oni:nis
sioners at the conference, Coopera
tion with the O.-W. R & N. railroad
company will be needed in either case.
Samuel O. LanCMti r offered to open
the Highway from Portland to the
Hoed River county hoe, full width, at
actual cost, piovided th;:t he be given
tull and complete charge l all ton es
and equipment, without interference
I rum anyone
The Hauser Construction Company
Offered to cleat the Highway at cost.
J. A. Manning offered to burn a 10
foot strip, with 50-foot turn-outs every
3W) feet, for about $;".tK for a milt
section. He promised to give a bond
that he would Hnfsn th job in a week.
The first i etailed report that has
been made of ice and snow conditions
on the famous Highway was submitted
by Engineer Kellev, who covered the
road last week under direction of the
State Highway Commission. Mr. Kel-
ey said that the road is open from
Cortland to Mist Falls, but from Mist
Falls to a point one mile east of One-
onta distance .'). miles the Highway
is buried from 4 to lfi feet on the cen
ter line. I hen there are about 8.000
feet free, or practically so. From the
point east of Oneonta to Tanner Creek
it is practically all clear, with some
four- to eight-fout drifts.
The snow is packed with strata of
sleet and will melt, by July, except in
the heavier drifts. The si ow is packed
hard enough so that powder can be
used effectively. A powderman exper
imented with it last week, the shots
blowing out without shattering effect.
Hydraulic, flame machine, rock salt
and steam streams are all capable of
removing the snow and ice, said Mr.
Kelley, but the most practical method
is to break it up and shovel it by hand-
power or steam shovel. He inclined
toward the manual plan.
Two projects were considered by the
engineer. The lilt was to clear an
eight-loot strip on the outside of the
pavement. Tnis requires moving 20,
OOO cubic yards. Of tin- T.f.Od yards
would be side cast; 5,700 yards would
have to go over the railroad tracks and
6.000 in end hauls. This project would
cost $7,500. The second project called
for clearing full width of the Highway.
51,000 cubic yard.-, divided into iy,50i
yards side cast, 1:1,700 over the tracks
and 17,800 end haul. This project
wuold e wnd on the railr a i assit-tim.'
with rotary and snow equipment. Cost
of second project, $15tsio, which in
eludes $7W for work east of Bonne
ville. About SI. 000 ha been spent in Hooi
River county to save the parapet walls I
and $2,500 will clear the Hood Kiver'
section. Shell mountain is the worst
part in that county and Mr. Yeon an
rounred thai there is no u tor the
Highway Commission to clear Shell
mountain and up to the Multnomah
line if Multnomah county doesn't in
tend clearing its end. .
Considering the storm, very little
Adjutant General Geo. A. White,
here Wednesday night of fast week to
muster in Company C, 186th Regi
ment, Oregon National Guard, praised
Hood River county for the patriotic
record made during the great war
He stated that the County's Volnnt-fcur
record, prinicpaliy through the activi
ties of the old Twelfth Company, Ore
gon Coast Artillery, resulted largely
in an exemption of the county from
the operation of the selective' draft.
UM. White stated that Oregon now oc
cupies second place in the United
States in National Guard activities.
The state is far in the lead among all
states of the Pacific Coast Division,

sion as second lieutenant in the French
army.
Some interesting data was produced
when the men were que-lioned bv Ma
jor James S. Dusenberry regular
armv officer assigned to Oregon Na
tional Guard work. Twenty-one men
are married. But six of the new com
pany professed experience in handling
