FroBtad in charge of a campaign for raising an approxi mate $500 for the Salvation Army will be launched in this county very soon. Capt. Frostad will endeavor to secure the aid of a number of local business men, to accompany him on his tours of solicitation, introducing him. The or ganization is very popular here, him on his tours of solicitation, introducing him. The organization is very popular here, and it is anticipated that Capt Frostad will receive a hearty greeting. The following commendatory com ment on the Salvation Army was made by Vice-President Coolidge : "The Salvation Army taught its great lesson of Americanismon the fir ing lines of France. It is carrying on the Bame ideals during this trying per iod of reconstruction. This is ac complished to a great degree by its method of applying 'practical Christi anty.' By extendng a helping hand in illness, bv providing looo, cioming, fuel and the innumerable other means of helpfulness to stricken humanity, regardless of race, creed or color. The Salvation Army naturally draws to it the people of many nationalities, is there a more fertile ground for the sowing and developing oi me iunaa- mentali of true Americanism: MID-COLUMBIA JUST MISSES SILVER THAW The mid-Columbia missed a silver thaw by a very narrow margin as was apparent Tuesday morning when fir forests of high points surrounding the valley revealed themselves, in the first sunshine of 10 days, in a magninceni srarment of ice. The climatic condi tion that produced the frozen accumu lation on trie trees Degan ai an eleva tion of about 1,000 feet The outlines of the frozen forests were as definite as if laid out with engineers' instru ments. The phenomenon resulting from the freak of the elements gave the section one of the most gorgeous sights ever witnessed here. The wind which had blown steadily from the east for the past 10 days while a heavily clouded sky gave con stant threat of snow, switched to the west Monday night, and the outlook is now for unusually pleasant Thanks giving weather. SUPPLY OF REEFERS BECOMING PLENTIFUL Allotment of refrigerator cars here now averages 60 "reefers" per day, and shippers are promised that the al location of equipment will continue at this rate. It is expected that back orders will he cleared up and the con gestion of warehouses will be relieved by the holidays. Action on the part of rail lines and the Pacific Fruit Express Co. was stimulated here, it is declared, by urg ings of the valley's newly formed traf fic association. The allotment of cars would have come sooner but for the tie-up in rail lines by a heavy snow storm in the Rocky Mountains. The deliveries of apples by growers to the Apple Growers Association the past week reached 122.CJ4 boxes, bringing the total received to date to 1,172,691. It was anticipated that more apples would be received than last year, when the tonnage reached 1.293,000. But W. J. Knight in charge of the Association's stocks, says his estimates place this year's tonnage a little under that of last season. The Association up to Saturday had shipped only 554,456 boxes. MRS.

LUNCH CLUB WILL VISIT HIGH SCHOOL In celebration of American Educa tion Week members of the Tuesday Lunch Club will visit the high school next Tuesday, when lunch will be served by the Domestic Science cIsbs. The members of the organization will later repair to the auditorium of the school,- where an assembly program will be rendered. The Invitation to visit the school was presented Tuesday by City School Su perintendent Cannon, who also stated that visitors would be welcome Friday, uecemoer , at every room or tne city schools. He urged that all citizens make it a point to visit the schools on that day and familiarize themselves with the work. Chief speaker at Tuesday's session of the Lunch Club was Prof. Ira Rich ardson, assistant director of the Ex tension Bureau of the University of Oregon, who made an appeal for equal ization oi educational opportunity for the boys and girls of thickly populated centers and those of remote open coun try. Dr.- Richardson cited that ex penditures at the present time for ed ucational work were but moderate when compared with figures for other costs. He stated that the American bill for chewing gum last year was $88,000,000. The bill for education was 10 times this item, he declared. buucation certainly ought to be worth at least 10 times the benefits we derive from chewing gum," said Prof, Richardson. The ctub.tiiom'ocn were addressed by Capt. frostad, of toe Salvation Army, nere irorn Portland arranging ror a campaign in behalf of the charitable organization's home service fund Capt. Frostad cited that the Army had been well supported in the past by riooa Kiver citizens, although no corps has been established here. He stated that the Portland White Shield Home was aided by the Portland Commun ity Chest, but that the fund so raised was insufficient. Capt. Frostad cited that no case, wherever it might origin' ate in the state, was ever turned down by the Salvation Army. Dr. Pineo was chairman at the Tues day meeting, held at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. The meeting was made very pleasant with voral solos by W. J. Collier, who was accompanied by Miss Sara Howes. These two gifted musi cians were encored repeatedly. The annual election of officers of the club will be held next Tuesday. A nomination committee, composed of the following members, has been named: A. M. Cannon, C. II. Vaughan and.Uarry W, rarrell.

CENSUS SH r t S INCREASE Annual. Tax Budget Pri des Increased Fund for Education Boat Road Bridge Provided For Eaton Tells of Valley "Skyline Camps." by Walter Pritch ard Eaton, is the title of a new book just published by the W. A. Wilde Co., of Boston. The book is the result of a trip by the author in the summer of 1321 through the Oregon Cascades un der the guidance of Fred H. Kiser, the well-known scenic photographer, of Portland. There sre charters on Cra ter Lske and vicinity Mt Jefferson and the country around liend, as well as a final chapter on the Columbia Riv er Highway, in which there are three r sees about the Hood River Valley. The author's prty stopped off hslf a day at the Oak Grove ranch of C E. , , i . I u ravea. ne eibks in upenauve The tentative tax budget aa set Jast Thursday by the budget board and county court provides for an approx imate $21,000 increase over the total appropriations of $254,098.24 last year. The board will make its final appor tionment Thursday, December 28. New items in the levy of this year, if the budget is adopted as drawn will be $2,000 for connty school fund, $4,000 for county high school tuition and $4,000 to supplement a like sum appro priated by the United States Forestry Service for the Lost Lake Highway. County School Superintendent Gibson stated that the general school fund would have been increased from $30, 000 to $32,000 the coming year because of the increase in students. He de clared that school districts of the Low er Valley were now behind about $9,000 in high school tuition to the city school board. I also have before me at the pres ent time," said Mr. Gibson, "a letter from the Portland School Board, which warns us that sons of East Side fam ilies, who are attending Benson Poly technic school in Portland, will be sent home unless this county pays their tui tion. Under the law, students of dis tricts not having high schools may at tend any institution in the state, their tuition being refunded by the county in which they reside." While Sheriff Johnson suggested that his office should be provided with an automobile, which, he declared, would be an economy in trsffie law enforce ment and in making illicit liquor raids, the committee opposed, the move, de claring that it would be setting a bad precedent The sheriff, however, waa allowed a fund of $1,300 for office ex pense and special deputies. The sal aries of traffic officers were increased from $2,000 to $2,400. It waa developed at the budget meet ing that the cost of caring for poor here has jumped from $3,500 in 1919 to more than $6,000 for the current year. The sum of $5,000 was included in the budget for the ; coming year. Judge Hasbrouck and Commissioners Black man and Sheppard stated that Hood River county gains many indigents through the dumping of poor families here during apple harvest season. It was cited that river steamers had dumped indigents here the past season in a number of instances. The budget committee denied the appeal of C A. Bell, one of the direct ors of the Public Welfare Committee. an amalgamation of local charitable institutions, for $500. While the bud get board commended Mr. Bell's or ganization for its work, it was declared that funds for its administration should come from private donations. The Salvation Army came near gain ing the $180 annually given by this county to the Portland Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Portland. Judge Has brouck stated he had recently been de nied commitment of a girl here be cause her parents, who wished to se cure a home for the girl, declined to turn her over entirely to the institu tion. Judge Ilusbrouck stated that she had been give shelter by the Salva tion Army until a home was found. The board at first eliminated the Boy's and Girls' Aid Society appropriation from the tentative budget, which would have resulted in its final elim ination next year. On consideration, however, it was included with the rec ommendation that the matter be thor oughly investigated before Decem ber 28. C. H. Vaughan, of the County Health Association, appealed for the retention of $1,500 now utilized in employing a county health nurie. He'told that the work was highly efficient and that word of recommendation for its contin uance waa received from all parts of the valley. J. W. Morton appeared before the budget board and petitioned for an appropriation of $1,000 next year for constructing a road from the Columbia River Highway to his farm below Ruthton hill west of the city. The special fund was not included in the budget Next year's budget will include a fund of $7,000 to be utilized in con structing a toed-in viaduct along the canyon of Hood river where the boat road passes below the O.-W. R. & N, tracks. The roadway at this point, despite heavy expenditures, has been washed out several times the past few years, and County Roadmaster Nichols declares that the expenditure will be a wise investment He declared the old makeshift work as dangerous and lia ble to result in a serious accident Members of the budget committee were: Truman Butler, S. J. Moore, A. W. Peters and C. C. Walton. Truck Breaks Fire Hydrant In order to avoid striking a passen ger automobile that had cut the cor ner, the driver cf an apple truck Sat urday was forced to turn his heavy machine, facing down hill on the steep grade of Ninth street into the curb where the street intersects State street The side of the vehicle struck a fire hydrant breakirg it off short at the rr.airi. A geyser, spraying a heavy volume of water 3') feet high, immedi ately sprarg up drenching the apples. In the confusion the truck driver waa unable to obtain the license number cf the passenger car. the operator of which sped away from the scene.
