Tn closing Mr. Bntler made the oredMIon that those who were living In Hood River valley 20 years from now would realise what s great eommerctsl asset thia bridge is to the mld-Columbla region. • The high school basketball teams have begun their dally practice.

I l Two Mountain Bread CHINAWARE, DISHES POPULAR DAVENPORTS EASYCHAIRS WINDSOR CHAIRS MORRIS CHAIRS SPINET DESKS SMOKERS* STANDS New Bakers New Bread New Name CUT GLASS, ART POTTERY Since the time of the earliest pio neers talk of the mid-Coiumbia have traveled back aud forth across the Oilumlrfa by canoe, sailboat and more lately by gasoline launch and power ferry. The traffic of late years had becoftie very heavy, proltably the heaviest on the Columbia except at RainMr-Kelso, Wash. The ferry boats, which on holidays the past few years at times carried hundreds of cars in 12 hours, will soon eease their operations. The ferrymen, Homer G. Van Allen and II. C. Johnson, have purchased the ferry plying between Maryhill and Granta. Here, too, ac cording to report, a bridge may soon span the Columbia. Ham Hill, inter nationally known roadbuilder, is boost ing for a Hjian at this point. The completion of the new Hood Rlver-lVhlte Haimon bridge will in reality make Hood River the hub of mid-Colunibia activities. Ix>cal folk, New Hood River-Whlte Ralmon who the past several weeks have ridden in a commercial plane being operated here, declare that roads. like spokes may tie seen from a high altitude radiating in all direction« from Hood River. The new bridge will bring the or chard sections of White Haimon and Underwood as close to Hood River as the valley's own outlying fruit sec tions. It has already stimulated a movement in local city real estate, and it will bring about a renewed development of the orchard lands in the Washington counties. The bridge will bring through Hood River a heavy motor traffic from the Yakima country and Astern Washington. It has stimulated interest In a short cut manic highway between here and Yakima. The new road passes Just to the east of Mount Adams through a country of yellow pines. It is park like. The road will cross the can- yons of the Klickitat river and the Big Muddy and penetrate the Hlmcoe Indian reservation. Those who have traveled the route declare that it will add new drives of glorious wenic apfieal to the mid-Columbla motor jaunts, which already seem prodigal. The bridge will no doubt hasten the early completion of the North Bank highway and bring about an earlier paving of the road all the way from Vancouver, Wash. With the interstate bridge at Portland and the local bridge the North Bank highway and the Columbia River highway will afford Portlanders new variety in motoring. The bridge will stimulate Washington traffic over the Mount Hood Loop highway. Wash ington folk will become better ac quainted with the foothill scenery of Mount Hood, and Oregonians will go in quest of thrills of sightseeing around Mount Adams. wMctTWTtt He op<AtHI: rrt- 'trtffic next Haturday, Photo by Reeves. ¿0 « COMPLETE SET OP ATTACHMENTS —^FREE WITH* EACH ‘PURCHASE OF The GritìdPMW J FROM NOW UNTIL ¡CHRISTMAS Besides thia wonderful free offer, upon request we will deliver to your door on free cleaning trial a new Eureka.
