Real Financiers?
Harry E. Byram, President of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railroad, says :
"The real financiers are the wives of the men
who are making their way. I know because I've
seen how my mother managed, and how lots of
other capable, thrifty energetic women have
managed.
The husband brings his pay to hi9 wife and
turns it over to her; except that she probably
lets him have a little spending money. Then
she pays the bills. She has done a deal of fig
uring and planning and scraping to keep those
bills down, so that she can put something aside
as savings. I have a profound respect and ad
miration for those women. They mean, more to
the country than any other class of citizen.

VIEW ICE CUTS
HIGHWAY POPULAR LAST SUNDAY
Perishable Monuments Left by Boreas Are
Fast Disappearing. Permanent
Damage is Small
A decade, or maybe two or three,
from now those Hood River people
who toured the Columbia River High
way between here and Multnomah Fulls
Sunday, the first Sunday the scenic
boulevard has been open since Novem
ber 18 of last fall, will be telling their
children and friends of the 30-foot deep
ice cute, glimmering like piled up
heaps of the arctic region,' along the
scenic bouelvard. Hundreds of Port
land motorists, too, Sunday made
themselves eligible to recount stories
of the days of the hard winter of 19J1
1922. Some modern Greenleaf Whit
tier, whose "Snowbound" was once a
classic for school children, has an op
portunity to woo the muses and leave
an epic on the winter storm.
Sights, such as the motor wayfarer
may view now along the Highway, are
rare indeed. This generation may
never see the like of it again. Indeed,
it has been 38 years since the mid-
Columbia was so beset by unruly win
ter elements with Boreas gone on a
rampage. In the winter of 1883-84,
according to the records of pioneers,
sleet came down in torrents as destruc
tive as that of last November.
All in all, after the publicity that
has been given to the effects of the
sleet and the stories that h:ive been
told of damage to viaducts and the
wonderfully artistic walls built by
Camillo, the Italian stoneworker, who
learned his trade on terrace walls not
far from Rome, the sightseer may be a
little disappointed in failing to see a
great amount of wreckage. The dis
appointment, however, especially if
the motorist be a taxpayer, is gratify
ing. But the deep ice cuts, their sheer
sides gilmmering in the sunlight or re
flecting the headlight glare of some
driver who is easing up his batteries,
are worth a trip for any motorist. One
may think he can picture the ravines
rilled with ice and now and the minia
ture glaciers that lie with their deep
est ends on the Highway cuts, the ice
thinning as it laps back up the gorge
side. But you wlil have to see it to
fully comprehend it. It is like the
Hood River valley in the time of apple
blossoms. Someone may say a trip to
the land of bloom is not worth the Ink
ing ; that he or she has seen orchards
in blossom before. Thus they forego
the sight of a wide expanse of pink
and white valley and the perfume from
a million blooms. Certainly you may
have seen snow drifts before, but your
conclusions, based on your past experi
ences, will not give your mind's vision
ing anything like a complete idea of
the magnitude of the ice tonnage that
ic.-tH in the folds of the Columbia
gorge.
The writer was privileged a motor
journey down to Multnomah Falls Sun
day with P. L. Manser. While in
clement weather of Sunday morning,
rain and gusts of snow, probably
caused many to cancel plans of a High
way automotilie trip, many local Colli
braved the weather. The day ulti
mately turned out line for sightseeing,
a brilliant sunshine lighting up the
afternoon and filling the great gorge,
with silvery haze. An effect of mys
tery and intangibility was produced.
Ordinarily when a haze lies in the can
yon, its effect is dimming, and the
vision has less of an opportunity.
Minaret and ruck bound promontories,
mossy crags, hr forests all seem inter
mingled. One sees much without a de
tail to any object. That silver mist of
Sunday, when the sun shone on the
snowcapped hills and trees, grisly wit
frozen fog and clinging snow, seen' d
to clarify the air and emphasize ,,0.
ting cliffs and such abruptly rising
points as Beacon Rock. The coloring
of the great canyon, with its back
ground of snowfields, too was given
emphasis. Never did the moss of old
logs and stumps seem more vividly
green. The cliffside to the east of
Multnomah Falls appeared in the late
afternoon like a crazy uilt hung up to
dry. Varied were the hues of green
and the intervening spaces of bare
rock wall were umber and in a variety
of browns. Ordinarily only the trained
eye of an artist can catch the gaudi
nesa of the Columbia gorge's varied
colorings. Sunday the most uninitiated
riding eastward, the tun streaming
over his shoulders, was able to catch
the overwhelming array of colorful
glory.
On a journey to the west the motoriBt
encounters his first ice cut at Shi il
Rock mountain, just west , of Camp
Benson. This is the deepest drift in
Hood River county. Some of the ac
cumulation between Cascade Locks
and Eagle creek, however, were as
troublesome to handle. Hood River
county damage includes a sinking of
the road between Wyeth and Cascade
Locks, where poor drainage resulted
in undermining a part of the right of
way immediately above the O.-W. R.
& N. track. Just west of Cascade
Locks, where the entire terraine seems
to be on the shift, a block of road has
settled down several feet. There dam
aged places would probably have re
sulted without the winter storm.
Indeed, trouble was experienced at
both point last winter. Some of the
rock wall on Shell Rock mountain is
out of alignment, and wooden fences
between Cascade Locks and Kagle
creek and on the grade at Starvation
ceek will have to be rebuilt. The
paving waa cracked by the weight of
the ice in instances in the Shell Rock
vicinity.
The travel over the Highway Sunday
was remarkable, when the bad weather
of the morning is taken into considera
tion. Despite the bite of the cold air.
dozens of picnickers were boiling coffee
at wayside points. Sunny glades were
more popular, however, than the shad-
led nooks in the forest. Indications on
i all sides pointed to the near approach
' of spring. Robin red breasts rlilted
acrues the. highway at intervals and
pussywillows were blooming almost
every mile.
The motorist is advised to go now
over the Highway, before the thaw of
warmer days have obliterated the huge
ice dnftf. They will go fast, when
sustained chinooks breathe on them.
In a few short weeks.they will be but
memories. Crewe ere feat opening the
Highway the full length, spoiling the
effect one now gets when a huge car,
emerging or entering the deep cuts,
seems comparatively tiny. Before we
can realize summer erowds will be
seeking the cool retreat of Ksgle creek
campy round, where Sunday the open
graveled plaza was the resting place
of many sightseers, sunning them
selves, lunching or stretching their
legs. It was there that Mr. Manser
opened a hamper, well-filled with
Bandwiches, prepared by Mrs. Manser,
dainty slices of homemade liread, apple
pie, cake and a bottle of rich Jersey
milk. Never was there a better appe
tizer than the invigorating atmosphere,
and one ate with a relish, cleaning up
the last crumbs, ending with a tidy
feeling around the waistline.
If you would see the fleeting monu
ment of the big sleet storm hurry and
motor out over the Highway. The
drifts are trickling away. Soon they
will be recorded only in photi grepha or
the memories of those who journeyed
forth to see.
DR. KERR PLEADS
FOR AGRICULTURE
Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of the Or
egon Agricultural College, Sunday
night under auspices of the Riverside
Community Church Sunday Evening
club, made an impassioned appeal for
greater consideration to the agricultur
al interests of the country and for the
maintenance of a strong public school
system.
Dr Kerr cited that no one fa led to
realize in March, 1918, when the great
German drive was begun, that civiliza
tion viHi in the balance. He declared
that such condition still prevailed. He
cited the so-called agricultural bloc, a
feature of the present day Congress,
and asked the question, "Why an agri
cultural bloc?"
Dr. Kerr declared the agricultural
intuiests of the country the nation's
bulwark, quoting Theodore Roosevelt
and James J. Hill in support of the
contention. He cited the tendency of
population to centralize in urban com
munities. "This," declared Dr. Kerr, "is not a
drift, but a well thought out, carefully
considered plan. The problem, pri
marily, is an economic one. for people
seek businesses that are stabilized and
where they are sure of u more steady
return. We will never get a 'back to
the farm' movement until we solve the
economic problem."
Dr. Kerr cited how the value of in
dufctrial products whs annually 150 per
cent of the invested capital, while the
agricultural return reached only f0 per
cent of the capital. He po nied out
the products of industries had re
mained nearly the same in puce since
1919, while farm products have de
creased 7.r per cent in value.
"We must bring about a grenler sta
bilization of agncullural interests, "
said Dr. Kerr, ' ai.d afford farmer.- a
financial system that will meet their
requirements as effectively as present
systems meet the needs of iMWStriee.
The welfare of the farming industr
is a matter of vital concern to every
man and women in the Unrted States."
Dr. Kerr stated thai he had recently
learne i thut r.gniu.'..ul interests i..
MM parts of the northwest had been
paying II per cent interest on loans.
He declared that 12 per cent money
as not uncommon
Dr. Kerr ended his talk by an appeal
for the continued maintenance of high
er standards of education. He cited
the illiteracy of the heavy alien popula
tion, which he declared h lieavv money
liability. He decried what he termed
an ocean to ocean propaganda calling
for a material reduction in taxes foi
educational purposes. He ended bis
talk, urging parents to base thuir
hopes for the nation on the mainte
nance of the i hurch Bd schools

sTRANAHAN REPORTS
! TOUR
Geo. F. Stranalian, who with Mrs.
Stranahan and the letter's sister, Mrs.
Alice Stalnaker, returned last week
from a winter's motor tour of southern
California, declares that the long,
leisurely trip was very enjovable.
"It is indeed surprising." says Mr.
Stranahan, "how many ex-Hood Rivet
folk one sees in California. Nearly
everywhere we saw someone who had
lived here and who is still much inter
ested In the activities of loral people.
At San Jose we saw J. C. Butcher and
W. B. Dickerson. These men are en
gaged in the manufacture of pray ma
terials at the Santa Clara county seat.
"In the Los Angeles neighborhood
we saw R. W Pratt and father, C. G.
Pratt, who were formerly engaged in
the banking business here. We saw ('.
W. Hooker, who had made Hood River
apples a by word, when one thinks of
the best de.-idunua fruits in southeri
California. One of oui most pleasant
calls was with C. E. Markhnm. a I
pioneer. Clarence F. Gilbert remains
the same enthusiastic hustler that
characterized him as one of Hood Riv
er's most active business men He is

We saw Mi-s's Miriam and Zona Sea
brook formerly here with Better
Fruit."
"Southern California roads are gl I,
and we found the traveling from place
to place Very inviting. We toured a
far south as' San Diego. The journey
to and from the south was not marked
by any trouble. "
