DEE WILL BENEFIT
FROM MARKET FUND HOOD RIVER PEOPLE
. LIKE “VOU AND I”
A major road operation of Hood-
River county will be the construction
of a macadam highway north from
Winans toward Odell, in order to give
the orchardists of Dee Flat; district
a better way to get to and from the
city. The county court has agreed
to expend the entire market road
fund for 1925, a sum that will reach
$28,000, on such an undertaking. The
taew road will be put on a grade to
conform to state specifications and
then will be surfaced with macadam.
A large delegation of Dee Flat
ofchardists were present at a meeting
of the court as was a representation
from the Oregon Lumber Co. It was
cited that the pear and apple tonnage
of Dee Fiat district is increasing as
rapidly each season now as any dis
trict of the valley and that better
highways are needed in transporting
the heavy tonnage.
It was unanimously declared the
sentiment. of those appealing to the
county court that the main trank
road to Dee should extend from Tuck
ers Bridge up the route of the old
river road, which intersects the Die-
Odeli road near the ranch place of
Geo. T. Prather.
Botulism Guarded Against
Representatives of three state
health boards went into consultat km
with members of the Northwest Can
nera’ association at the closing ses
sion in Portland last week in a move
to standardize manufacturing process
es for the elimination of the danger
of botulism. Discussion of precau
tions. with possible legislation in
Oregon, Washington and California,
brought the business of tlie four-day
convention at the American Can com
pany to a close.
Action may result in legislation pre
scribing certain processes In the can
ning of vegetables, with tile addition
of inspectors to see that the provi
sions of the law are carried out. The
proposal came as the result of an in
vestigation in which Dr. K. F. Meyer,
of the University of California, repre
sentative of the board of health of
that state, wks said to have spent
four years.

Philip Barry, which won a Harvard
award for the excellence of oppor
tunities, lived up to Its reputation
Monday night. The audience was a
little slow in getting started, but be-
for the first act was well under way
the men and women, the young folk
and the old folk were reacting to the
subtle humor of the rare comedy.
Boon spontaneous laughs were coming
from everywhere.
The Moroni Olsen players, all of
them, are finished actors.
Their
handling of the noted vehicle was
faultless. Mr. Olsen himself played
the part of Maitland White, a man
wlio married young at a time when
his greatest desire, except the one of
wedding Nancy, was that of becoming
a noted painter. The comedy is
woven around that 20-year, undying
desire to paint and the feeling on
the part of Mr. White that lie ought
to be a great painter instead of a
business man, and then:—____
Kerplunk! The only son of Mr.
and .Mrs. White gets into just aliout
the same situation that caught the
father and mother up In the net of
life 20 years before. Veronica Duane
is the girl, and Dorothy Adams, who
has beauty as well as histrionic abil
ity, was a mighty fine Ronnie Duane.
There is just a little of pathos stirred
into action by Veronica wringing a
broken heart in the last art. Sumner
Chase Cobb played the |iart of mod
ern youth, Roderick White, the son.
Janet Young was Nancy White, the
wife. Byron Foulger was G. T. War
ren, the btislni-ss man, “who smiled
through to success" in the upbuilding
of a soap concern, in which Mr.
White was employed. Ix*ora Thatcher
played “Etta.” the maid, whose emu
lative qualities, after she had become
Mr. White’s model, inspired many
laughs.
It would tie difficult to find a co
terie of actors whose work blends
better than the Moroni Olsen players.
They are growing in popularity with
Hood River audiences. They deserve
popularity.
