ASSOCIATION TO MAKE FOURTH DISTRIBUTION The Apple Growers Association is planning to forward to growers about April 20 checks for the fourth cesh distribution since the first of the year. The definite basis of the distribution has not yet been determined, and the exact amount of the funds that will be paid growers is not yet known. A total of approximately $500,000, how ever, remains to be Bpplied in divi dends on the 1921 pools. The coming distribution will include final returns on the valley's Spitzen burg crop of 321,041 boxes, which brought a total of $520,585.38, or an average of $1,621 per bqx. Lofts Anticipates Much Work A. C. Lofts, owner of the Transfer & Livery Co., which operates a rock crusher and works a gravel pit on the Columbia River Highway east of the city, states that the building activity at the present time bids fair to eclipse that of any recent former year, es pecially on the construction of small residences, farm improvements and remodeling work. Mr. Lofts says that the gravel pit discovered by highway excavation has proven a boon because of the fact that the material contains about 30 per cent sand, the proper proportion for concrete work. Ordinarily sand has to be secured extra for mixing with gravel. For SpirellaCoreets Mrs.Fred Howe, 613 Cascade Avenue.

HOOD RIVER GARAGE HOMETOWN PAPER IS BUSINESS ASSET HIGHWAY PAYROLL HAS PROVEN BOON OLD PAPER TELLS OF LINCOLN'S DEATH It pays to read the hometown pa er. declared r. w. wooiiey, or ihe alles, district manager of the Oregon Life Insurance Co., here Monday on business. "The other day I read an item in the Hood River Glacier about friends whom I used to know back in Wisconsin, visiting local relatives. 1 called to tender my greetings and par ticipate in a reunion. The visit lea to a discussion of insurance, and before I was through 1 bad written $13,000 in new business. "I find that it pays me to keep close touch with the happenings of the resi dents of a community through the home town paper. The $2 that I spend in a subscription each year 1 consider one of the best investments I make. The business man who fails to read closely his hometown newspaper is let ting slide one of the best opportunities he has." Mr. Woolley was accompanied here by A. J. Buzard, of Portland, agency supervisor for eastern Oregon. The company has just appointed Glen Hunt as local agent. Mr. Hunt will asume his new duties at once. MT. HOOD TO DEVELOP TOURIST BUSINESS The Mt. Hood R. R. Co., plans on aiding in the development of the Mount Hood tourist business this summer by adding two new rail automobiles and giving a better passenger service be tween here and the Upper Valley. The new rail autos will each accommo date 31 passengers. Operating on a schedule that calls for frequent trips travel between Hood River and Park- dale will be made convenient. The company has been using autos for seven years and they have proved very satisfactory for the 22-mile journey. The novelty of spinning along over the rails in an automobile attracts many passengers. The rail line will also be in position to give a convenient freight service on the arrival of a large new Mikado-type locomotive, which will be shipped soon from the Eddystone, Fa., plant of the Baldwin Locomotive Works.

Nickelsen says that the benefits of men, who have been employed in clearing up the Highway from snow and ice blockades and earth slides, will in a large degree offset the inconvenenince resulting from the un precedented winter weather. "The highway work has been a de cided boon to many men, who other wise would have lacked employment," saya Mr. Nickelsen. "My payroll last month was $4,000. We have pursued a policy of securing home men, those with families given the preference, and these wages have gone to mer chants and business folk. We have applied the same rules to work near Mosier and have employed many men from there. The road is being fairly well cleaned up, and hereafter the payroll will grow smaller." MAN INITIATED 24 YEARS AFTER FATHER Angus McDonald, who is engaged with the Sherman county highway de partment, writes of an interesting event at Wasco on April 4, when his brother, Clifford McDonald, was initi ated in Masonry at Taylor Lodge No. 99. "On the same night in April 24 years ago," writes Mr. McDonald, "my father was initiated at Taylor Lodge." The father of the two young men was a pioneer merchant and good roads enthusiast of Hood River. For many years before his death several years ago, he was secretary of Hood Rrver Lodge of Masons. Clifford McDonald is engaged in Sherman county with the state highway department. Both young men are great war veterans, having served in the Navy.

" To all whom it mav concern: Anv- rolv hcMing an account sgrainet Mrs. Ann E. Hjs will addrew her daughter Mrs. W. J. Pritcbard. Administrator, SLerwood, Ore. Box 113. jl27 Robert Rand has a New York Herald of the date of April 15, 1805, carrying news of the death of President Lin coln, who was shot the night before by Wilkes Booth while at Ford's theatre. The paper was given to Mr. Rand by M. M. Pomeroy, editor of a newspaper at La Crosse, Wis., where Mr. Rand was living at the time. The entire front page of the publication is devot ed to news of the President's assassin ation. Down the column rules are heavy black borders, symbolic of the grief of the nation. "We first received our news of Lin coln's assassination at La Crosse Sat urday, April 15, 1865. by telegraph, says Mr. Rand, "and 1 have never seen people so stirred. Editor Pom eroy was a Democrat and had been ac cused of a leaning toward the South. So strong a feeling existed that a mob had formed to raid his plant and prob ably do bodily violence to him. But when Pomeroy'a Democrat came off the press the hotheaded citizens felt a shame at their feelings toward him. In one of the best editorials 1 have ever read he praised the martyred president and characterized the act of Booth and his accomplices as the most dastardly murder in the nation's his tory. He predicted that the manhood and statesmanship of Lincoln would live and ever grow stronger and that his memory would be enshrined in the heart of all the people." TOMPKINS EXPECTS MORE STRAWBERRIES 1921 AUTO PLATES ARE NOW TABOO Yesterday was set as a dead line by the traffic department of Sheriff John son's office for 1921 license plates. The office, it is stated, will require hereafter that motorists secure tem porary licenses from the sheriff, apply ing through him for the regular state license plates. The traffic department is busy pa trolling valley roads and the Columbia River Highway. Neal Robinson was fined $10 and costs on a charge of reckless driving over the Highway. C. Gorton was arrested on a charge of reckless driving while going to a dance Saturday night. He will face Justice of the Peace Onthank. A fine of $5 was assessed by City Recorder Howe against Eldon R. Bradley on a charge of cutting corners. State Traffic Officer LafTerty, here on a tour of inspection, complimented the joint city and county traffic depart ment on the clean traffic records here. P. L. Tompkins savs that he antici pates an unusually heavy increase in the independent strawberry tonnHge this season. The valley's berry ton nage reached 85,000 crates last year, only a small portion being shipped out Bide the Apple Growers Association. This searon, according to Mr. Tomp kins, acrfHge of many independent growers will come into bearing. He alrio anticipates a considerable increase in the yield of growers aligned with the cooperative sales agency. Insist on genuine Ford parts when having your car repaired. Ditkson Marsli Motor Co. n2Ttf Col White Out for Governor Announcement of no gubernatorial candidacy has created a greater inter-! ef-t here than that of Col. Geo. A. White, who stated that he would file in the Republican field. Col. White has ' lone been popular in Hood River, and political observers now express the! cpinion mat he and governor Ulcott will be the strong contenders here. Political activity is still negligible, and because of the late spring, orch- j ardists will be busier than they have) ever been at the oeginning or tne ! growing season. It is anticipated that this condition will to a measure put a damper on local political enthusiasm. Rubber Starujs at the Glacier office.
