Mr. Ide also called attention to the work living done at the anto parks and stated that Hood River should take the same advantage of Its auto park and should see that someone capable of giving intelligent Informa­ tion should be on hand at the park, ne also asked that the settlers who come here be not allowed to put all their money into their first payment nnd that they be held down to the amount of gronnd they can carry with Biggest Show Ever their finances.
