SALVATION ARMY
CAMPAIGN SOON
With Capt J. A. 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.

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

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

Gorge Hotel. The meeting was made
very pleasant with voral solos by W. J.

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.
