NEW BEE INSPECTOR GENERAL LIGGETT
LAW IS EFFECTIVE CHAR r-c BY VALLET
The county court la now engaged In
looking over a field, which, however,
la without applicants, for the appoint
ment of a bee Inspector. On May 21
a legislative law providing for county
bee inspeetoA became effective. The
time limit for registration of bee col
onies waa placed at 80 days after the
date on which the law became effec
tive.
Hood River county has no commer
cial apiaries, but many orehardists en
deavor to keep a few hives of bees, not
for the honey but that the insects may
promote the pollenization of fruit bios-,
soma. Under the law individual own
ers of colonies of bees, or corporations
owning them must at once report them
to the county clerk. A failure to
comply with the regulations may lead
to a fine vt >10 to |100. County Judge
Hasbrouck says be knows of at least
two bee trees in the valley. He won
ders if it will be necessary for the
timber companies owning the land to
be subject to the new law.
License fees are 81 for eacb colony
of bees or eitch location of one or more
hives, with or without broods. It is
unlawful in this connection to have
hives to which there is not free access
to all parts.
Fees derived from the sale of li
censes and part of the fines assessed
against violators of the law are to go
into a bee fund from which the sal
aries or fees of the bee Inspector and
other incidental coats of operation of
the law are to be paid.

General Hunter Liggett, who is now
retired in San Francisco, where he is
oue of the most enthusiastic members
ot the American Legion Poet, quietly
gave the Hood River Valley the once
over Wednesday and Thursday of last
week and slipped back to Portland
iiefore residents realised that so dis
tinguished a citizen soldier waa beln^
charmed by their scenic mountains,
liills and expanses of river. General
and Mra. Liggett came here as guests
of General and Mra. Geo. A. White.
Wednesday afternoon they were driv
en by Major Van Horn to Mt. Hand
Lodge, returning Jo the Columbia
Gorge Hotel, where Capt. Geo. II. Wil
bur, commander bt the Department of
Oregon. American Legion, joined the
viaitors and Major Van Horn for din
ner.
Thursday, while other members of
the party enjoyed a late sleep In the
cool mid-Columbia atmosphere, Gen*
eral Liggett was up early, drinking in
the views of surrounding gorgeside
and forest land and pastoral scenes
of orchard district.
“You people here in Oregon ought
to tell the rest of the world what you
have,” he declared. “I didn’t know
until tliis visit to Portland that you
had such a place as the Columbia
Gorge Hotel. Your valley is a won
derland. Its setting amidst the foot
hills and surrounding peaks is superb.
You would have thousands and thous
ands of visitors If they knew what
awaited them. I never really made a
Columbia River Highway trip until
yesterday when we came on up here
and toured up through your valley.
On two former occasions, however, I
journeyed out from Portland as far
as Multnomah Falls.”
General Liggett, who was in com
mand of the flrat army in France, la
general chairman of the coming na
tional American Legion convention to
be held in San Francisco. He said his
journey to Portland was taken just to
see General White and to secure a
little rest from the work of preparing
for the great convention. General
Liggett is a real he-Ainerlcan and a
loyal Legion worker. He declared
that every ex-service man should affil
iate himself with the organization and
engage in a public expression on na
tional topics.
“Our country is being ruled too
inucll now a days,” said General Lig
gett, “by noise-making minorities
while the good citizenry sits supinely
by and lets them get away with their
nonsenlcal hobbies. It is time for all
of us to bear the burden of a little
work and allow our frank expressions
to be felt on public problems. The
American Legion can, if ex-service
men but give time and devotion to the
task of thinking and leading in the
right direction, become a great factor
in American public life.”
*
General Liggett, when informed of
I’acillc University at Forest Grove in
establishing a chair of American His
tory and Patriotism, declared the hope
that the movement would prove con
tagious. He congratulated the Hood
River American Legion Poet on estal*-
lisliing the Mount Hood Climb. He
predicted that the legionnaires would
realize their ambition in making the
event a national recreational feature
of Oregon out of door life.
General Liggett last Wednesday
night dropped In on Company C, 188th
Regiment, Oregon National Guard, en
gaged in drill and inspected the youths
whom be complimented on being citi
zen soldiers.
While here General Liggett Inquired

soldiering.
