N addition to our domestic business, we are
this season prepared to handle for your ac
count and make cash offers for export sizes
for shipment to N0THARD, LOWE &
WILLS, Ltd. with head offices in London,
England, as we have been appointed dis
trict agents for this firm in this territory.
I
We have made a number of cash purchases for
the account of this firm and would solicit a per cent
of your consignment export business. They do a
general importing and exporting business in all
parts of the world, with fruits and produce as only
one of many commodities handled.
f < -
They make on consignments a commission
charge of only five per cent of sales with a maxi- .
mum charge at point of destination of dock dues,
port dues, cables, etc. of l/6d. Where shippers
load their own fruit, this is all the charge that is
made, as the shipments go direct from Hood River
to New York and port of destination. Give us
some of your export business this season.

Contrary to the teachings to diversify,
we believe the farmer’s salvation lays in specializing in

Tlie climax to an investigation of
the past month, tlie general committee
of Hood River citizens up|s>iuted by
tile Americau Is'gion I’oKt, by unani
mous decision Friday night voted a
reeonunendiilion of a survey alreuily
made by the United Forestry Hervlie
for n spur road to connect the Mount
Ilisid Ixs»p Highway with the snow
line.of Mount Hood at Coopers Hptir.

W. A. Langille, who in in charge of
forest rond work in this ______
section, ___
de-
elded to communicate nt once with all
I'ortlaiid civic mid commercial organ
izations and launch an immediate cam
paign for an early construction of the
highway.
Since the American Legion Post
launched its annual Mount Hood
(climliing party In 11*21, there bus been
a promise of a road to <*ounect the
base camp of the organization with the
Lisip Highway. A survey watt mude
connecting the road with tlie hikiw
line, but it was thought by many that
the grade of seven ¡wr cent, over n dls-
trict characterized by its light
_
«oil,
would I m * too heavy, and an apis-al was
made for a road of lesser gradient.
A second survey was at once made,
over very much the saint' character of
country as the first, but longer. The
length of tile second pro|s>se<l road is
alstut 11 miles. It passes close to
Homestead Inn and leads also near
Cloud Cap Inn. It will take the mo
torist up to an elevation of nearly
feet, where tourists may be able
to hstk into the very crevasses of
Eliot Glacier and gain landscape views
as Inspiring na may be had on the
American continent.
The forestry service already has

tlie road. . It is estimated tliat $xo.(M*(t
