LEAGUE OF NATIONS
DECLARED NECESSARY
Mr. and Mrs. William Munroe, who
have just returned from a tour of Eu
rope, both addressed the Tuesday
Lunch Club at the Pheasant Tuesday.
Mrs. Munroe declared that Europe, if
she would scrape the gold from her
palaces and cathedrals, would be'able
to pay her reparation debts. Mrs.
Munroe declared that one found Ger
mans expressing violent hate against
ex-President Wilson for an alleged
failure to stick to his 14 points and the
League of Nations. She declared that
no American, be he Republican or
Democrat, can return from Europe
without a realization that the League
of Nations is necessary to stabilize Eu
ropean governments.
Mr. Munroe declared that the pleas
antest part of the tour was the warm
greeting from friends on the return
home. He praised western railways,
declaring that the best service ob
served by him and his wife was aboard
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
trains.
"European cities," said Mr. Munroe,
smell old and muBty."
lln rlplsirpa that tha man tt rnntin.
Jental European nations are making no
headway for the reason that they
spend too much of their time eating
and drinking. He observed that the
German laborer eats five times a day
and usually drinks when he eats. Mr.
Munroe characterizes the American
who goes to Europe and returns not
glad that the United States has prohi
bition as having something wrong with
his mental makeup.
The returned travelers were Intro
duced by E. A. Franz, chairman of the
club's meeting Tuesday.
J. H. Fredricy announced that Thurs
day, September 21, a party of eastern
traveling passenger agents returning
home from an Alaskan tour will arrive
here for a tour of the valley. Mem
bers of the Commercial Club will meet
the visitors with a battery of automo
biles at Lancaster's camp and bring
them here. After a visit to the orch
ard districts the visitors will be guests

merce at a dinner at the Columbia

story or the book is complete.
The program was made interesting

PARTY STUDIES NEW
TRAILS OF HOOD
A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs,
F. W. Rockhold. Mr. and Mrs. D. C.
Baker, and C. E. Graves made a trip
bunday from Parkdale to bden Park
and return via the Red Hill trail and
the new trail which the Forest Service
has just opened from Red Hill to the
mountain. It was not expected tha
work on this new trail would be start
ed till next year, but unexpected de
velopments allowed the Forest Service
to put a crew cf men at work on it
last week. By using the old fire trails
part of the way and blazing through
parts of the woods where the under
brush is not heavy a temporary trail
has now been opened up that makes it
possible to hike from Red Hill to the
open country at the base of the moun
tain in a little over an hour. The old
trail from Parkdale to Red Hill enters
the virgin woods at Lava Beds Pir'c
and never leaves them till the top of
Ked uui is reached, a little over rcvin
miles in a southwesterly direction.
is an easy grade nearly all the wv and
the trail is in excellent condit'm and
so well marked that no one will have
difficulty in following it. The eleva.
tion of Red Hill is approximately 5,000
ieet and irom dmerent points on the
summit one can get magnificent views
in every direction.
The new trail to the mountain begins
at Red Hill Meadows directly south
east of Red Hill and runs along the
eastern edge of the divide between the
drainage basin of the Middle Fork and
West Fork. It goes through heavy
timber most of tbe way. though for a
short distance it follows the edge of
an old burn. The grade is easy nearly
alljthe way and leads in about three
miles to the beginning of the park
country at the base of the mountain on
the northwest aide. Wiveast Basin
can be reached by dropping down to
the east of the ridge on which the trail
is located and Eden Park, the newly
discovered mountain park, lies to the
west. The new trail will no doubt be
further improved and marked, and it is
to be hoped that its final location will
be close to the edge of the ridge in or
der to take advantage of tbe magnifi
cent views of the Clear Creek country
tnat are anorded all along the way.
tne opening up of this trail is of
great significance to the development
of the Mount Hood region. There is a
good auto road from Parkdale to Lava
Beds Park, and if one drives this dis
tance there remains only a 10-mile trip
over an excellent and very interesting
trail with an easy grade to the won
derful park region on the northwest
slopes of the mountain. Ihe new trail
from Lost Lake to Red Hill will !no
doubt be finished next season'and this
will connect two of the most striking
beauty spots in the Mount Hood region
by trails that can be easily negotiated
by an ordinary walker.
GROWERS URGED TO
FIGHT ANTHRACNOSE
(By F. M. Green)
Owing to the prevalence of anthrac-
nose m.tbis .valley, this omce is mak
ing a special effort to eliminate the
disease by continuing the work which
has already been done for its control,
The work done in the past two years
has greatly improved conditions in a
majority of the orchards which were so
infected. However, there are a few
orchards which are still in such shape
as to! require further effort to eradi
catethis disease. With the cooperation
and concerted action of all those grow
era whose orchards may be effected by
this disease, it can be eliminated as a
factor in the growing of fruit in this
county.
The best method of control at the
present time, is by applying the Bor
deaux spray, 6-6-50 strength (6 pounds
of bluestone and 6 pounds of lime.)
This should be applied immediately af
ter the fruit is picked, being careful to
cover all parts with the spray, as to
effectively control the disease it must
be on before tbe fall rains commence,
Those who contemplate applying the
Bordeaux-oil spray in the spring are
warned that the necessity for the fall
spray is not eliminated previous to the
change. However, after the first
spring application succeeding fall
sprays may be eliminated. It must
also be remembered in this connection
that the spray will not kill any of the
fungus which has already entered the
bark nor the dormant spores which
may be on the bark, but gives control
by preventing further infections on
healthy part of the trees. Therefore
painting the cankers with Bordeaux
paste alone will not suffice.
Owing to the moisture conditions
which prevail in this section, wood
rots are quite a serious factor wherever
there is any dead wood or large wounds
on the trees. It is, therefore, advis
able to cut off all of the dead limbs
close to the trunk before the wood rot
has penetrated into the trunk. A good
coating of Bordeaux paste on all sur
faces of exposed dead wood will pre
vent damage from wood rot.
UNDERWOOD HARVEST
WILL BE EARLY
"Underwood orchardists are jubilant
owr completion of the Cooks grade
unit of the North Bank Highway, de
clared Louis Thun, applegrower of the
district and Skamania county commis
sioner, here Tuesday on business.
"Tbe North Bank Highway, which has
been closed all summer because of the
widening of the grade, will be open
some time next week, and we Under
wood people will be able to travel by
vehicle again between Underwood and
the county seat, Stevenson."
Mr. Thun says that the Underwood
apple harvest, which will be 50 to 75
per cent of lait year, will begin some
what earlier than in Hood River.
Growers there are already picking
their d'Anjou pear, which have been
sold for f 2.25 to J 1.75 per box. About
eight carloads will be marketed from
the section. Mr. Thun says that sev
eral Underwood grower have sold
their Delicious extra fancy and fancy
apples for $2.25 per box. Indications
are, ha rays, that the C-grade apples
will not be packed this year but will
be sold with the canning grades. Port
land canners have offered tbe Under
wood grower $10 per ton for canning
storks, he say.

MASON ASKS FOR
REDUCED VALUATION
A. I. Mason appeared before the
board or equalization Tuesday, and by
written appeal urged that all land of
the valley, the bearing orchards of
which were killed in the 1919 freeze
and which is being reset to trees, be
assessed at a value just half that of
general farming land.
"Our bearing orchards, said Mr.
Mason, "carry the heaviest valuation.
Our general farming land here, in lim
ited acreage, is given a special value.
We get good returns annually from the
crops. Hut in cases where some or us
growers are growing new orchards on
the old orchard tracts, we find it nec
essary to build up the soil constantly.
We will have to follow this process for
six or Bcven years until the new orch
ard comes into bearing. The old trees
have entirely depleted the soil of those
elements needed to grow new trees,
and we must supply these elements.
Under the circumstances 1 do not feel
that we growers who are rebuilding
orchards should be taxed. As it is we
are enduring saciifices enough."
Valley Corn Crop Good
Corn crops of the Hood River valley,
as a result or the protracted hot
weather throughout the growing sea
son, are unusually good this year.
Ranchers of the Summit district, whose
yields of corn for a number of years
have been remarkable, are displaying
record stalks of corn this year. Every
stalk is laden with from two to three
well formed ears. One stalk of Gold
en Yellow corn, the seed of which was
brought here 10 years ago from Ne
braska by D. P. Emery, bore two huge
ears, the largest of which contained
900 grains. It was 11 inches long.
The second ear was 10 inches in length.
Pre-School Clinics Planned
Monthly clinics for pre-school chil
dren will be held here each third Fri
day. Mi38 Elizabeth Campbell will be
assisted at the clinica by physicians of
tbe city. The first will be held at the
Library, tnday, beptember 22. In an
announcement of the work Miss Camp
bell says :
"These clinics are primarily for the
purpose of diagnosis. It is important
that children not only have defects
corrected but make a normal gain
from month to month. In order to be
sure that the pre-school children of
Hood Kiver county make this gain.
parents are urged to bring not onlv the
children who have not attended any
past clinics but those who have regis
tered at former clinics."
DUNNING MUSIC STUDY
TO BE ESTABLISHED
The Dunning School of Improved
Music Study will open a studio in Hood
River shortly. Mrs. Ida May Lubbe
and M'ss Lillian Stickle.of The Dalles,
were in Hood River this week making

tory talks given at Library hall next
Monday afternoon at 2.30 to which all
interested persons are invited. Mrs.
Lubbe and Miss Stickle are accredited
teachers and their pupils will therefore

The Dunning System is the modern
idea in musical pedagogy. It is a fin
ished and complete system of element
ary and advanced instruction. It
makes practice a pleasure. It teaches
a child to think in music, it cultivates
individuality and . spontaneity. The
lessons are adapted to both advanced
pupils and beginners. The course in
cludes ear training, harmony, theory,
composition and kindred subjects.

greatest masters. The following en
dorse it: Lescbetizky, Scharwenka,
Gabrillowitsch, Busoni and many
others. -

More Praise for Loop Road
J. H. Fredricy, who spent Sunday
inspecting the Mount Hood Lood High
way, declares that the three and a half
miles that have been rock surfaced by
the Shotwell Construction Co. from
the bounds of the Oregon National
Forest to the first bridge across the
East Fork of Hood river offers tbe mo
torist aa smooth sailinsr as a citv boul
evard.
"If one wishes," says Mr. Fredricy,
he can make 20 and 25 miles an hour
with ease. But no man in his riarht
senses will want to travel this road
that fast. He will want to slow down
and view the magnificent scenery.
Looking down tbe East Fork canyon
one can see off in the state of Wash
ington Mount Adams, Mount Rainier
and Mount St. Helens, while all the
time old Mount Hood is towering di
rectly overhead. The rimrock and
battlements of the East Fork gorge
have a beauty that ia inspiring."
