Ide, manager of tbe Oregon State Cliaxulier of Commerce and di rector of land settlement work for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Tues day gave the members of the lqcal chamber, assembled at their weekly luncheon forum a comprehensive idea of the magnitude of the work of Ids department the past three years. land settlement in Oregon, Mr. Ide cited, has been placed on a practical liasis. No longer are settlers lured to the common wealth by lurid stories of profits, such as characterised the l>oom days of 11)10. , Because of the experiences of those days, Mr. Ide said, many have a uiia- conception of the land settlement de partment today. He stated that it was not the alm today merely to get farmers on tbe laud, but that the task covers a broader. scope. Tbe former system was one of exploitation, and as a result many inexperienced folk were placed on Oregon land and left.to face disaster. Many of them left pen niless and embittered. “Today,” he said, “we try to avoid all of this. I have written hundreds of letters to enquirers, advising them not to come to Oregon. It Is not In frequent that we have a letter from someone in eastern and middle western cities, someone who has saved up »1,000 or »1,300 and who wants to come out and invest it in an On-gon poultry ranch or orchard. Invariably I advise such an one to remain in the salaried position until a larger sum in accumulated; that an ' inexperienced person cannot go far toward a success ful venture on so small a sum. “We have accomplished much by working through local chambers of commerce, securing a list of available property* It is our aim to get settlers on new land. There is no object in ex- changing farmers. We like to have them come in and take up property of non-resident owners or purchase sub divisions of large places, then’be an exact to tbe state. “In each community we have an ap- piralsal committee of nine representa tive cltlsms, who give us an accurate and correct valuation of lands listed. Then, when a prospective settler aomes to us, while we tell him that it Is im possible for us to guarantee that he will l>e satisfied in his new environ ment, we can guarantee that he will not get stung. . “We?ftMr the criticism that that bis nerves are good enough to stand all the punching that Doc wants to give them and that he has won a fow matches himself with the head lock. so it will bo up to Doe to watch his step. On paper this match looks to be a winner for the fans and with the splendid new equipment, the ring, mats, and lighting at the Rialto wrestling fans are assured of having everything put on in tbe same high class way as In any of the big cities. “Curly Cloe," recently of Yakima, 176 pounds, will meet Ellis Woodiord, of Hood River, 180 pounds, in a 30- udnute match or one fall to a decision. At the time this match was made Cloe stated in the presence of ths match maker and Woodford that he intended to win this match as he wanted to be kept on the cards hereafter, as he was desirous of paying for a saxophone out ■of his wrestling money. Woodford piped up and said, “Big boy, If you figure on blowing any horns on money you make out of throwing me save your broath till we get on the mat— you’ll sure need it-” The winner of this match will bo matched with one of two local lione crushers who are desirous of getting on tbe Rialto cards. T1>e ladies in attendance at tbe last match are by this time rabid wrestling fans and tbv policy on this Colluian and Alley match will be to admit all ladles free. This promises to be u real match and a good crowd is expected to imll for the local boy. All ladies will 1« admitted free. Prices will < range from 23 cents for kids, 75 cents for balcony, 11.10 for lower floor and loges to »1.65 for ringside. The first preiim- iuary will start at 8.15 sharp. Jack Routledge will referee and it is hoped that Tom Ray, the man of 1,000 holds, will be on'hand to be introduced from the ringside. Ray has been after Alley for quite some time and if It can be arranged will be given a match with him in the near future. Remember that all ladies will be admitted free to thia'match. ELKS’ MEMORIAL SER VICES IMPRESSIVE No more impressive service has ever been held in Hood River than that of Nunday afternoon, when tbe Elks lodge members and friends participated in t heir first observance of memorial day. About 130 members of the lodge gath ered at their hall at 2 o’clock, and at 2.30 marched to Riverside church, where tbe memorial address waa de livered by Judge Robert R. Butler, of TheOaUea lodge. Judge Butler is one of the state's outstanding uro tors, and bls talk of Bunday afternoon was deeply appealing. K, «RII gfc . f *h wiurie Appeal of P.

Find news of the action of the na tion*» highest tribunal waa received yesterday when Jurnea H. Haalett, as sociate of Oapt. Geo. R. Wilbur, attor ney for the Irrigation interest« of the valley, received a telegram from Oapt. Wilbur, who announced that the Uuited States supreme court had dis missed the appeal l>efore bearing had lieen ended on the grounds that the national court had no jurisdiction In the matter. Tbe application of water rights, it was thus held, at least by implication, la a matter for purely state administration. The litigation was started in 1914 when the Oregon Lumber Co., utilising waters of the East Fork of Hood river, nought to restrain the East Fork irri gation district from use of water«. The ease was won In circuit court here, but on appeal to the suprmne court it waa remanded, tba high state court an nouncing that further similar litiga tion seemed imminent. Tbe state water board was instructed to make a survey of the entire Hood River watershed and adjudicate all water right* Again the circuit feourt, with Judge Fred W. Wilson on the bench, gave confirmation to the state water board’s findings and conclusions In main points, and the power company again appealed to the supreme court, which affirmed the lower court decision. The appeal to the United States supreme court waa taken on the ground thnt the power company had a right to the waters of Hood river because of rights incident to riparian ownership.- The case involving all irrigation or ganisations of ths valley and the huge power interests, touchsd nearly the entire assessed valuation of the coun ty. No litigation has ever created such great local interest. It waa the first time any local ease had over been appealed to the United Btatne eupreme court.

Is erroneous. Down in-California, where their production is far groatar than ours, where out of 50 leading agricul tural counties of the nation 13 are Io cs ted. they are going ahead. Two counties down there produce more than all of Oregon. “The great Mississippi valley area, once considered the backbone of Amer ica from an agricultural standpoint, is now suffering seriously from the period of deflation that followed the war. Back in Iowa and other neighboring states, during the month of November 30 banka failed. Have you ever beard of a hank failing In Oregon because of failure in agriculture? “We have the land available at reas onable prices. We have 270 farms listed from every connty of the state. We can. too. show that every year farmers In all sections have constantly shown a margin of profit in their agri cultural pnnmlts. Oregon has much to offer that cannot be duplicated in other •ectlona.” Mr. Ide declared that one of the great needs for all sections Is a greater diversity of agriculture. He declared that Hood River can develop a plan for diversification through the expan sion of Its dairying and poultry in dustries. “Yon «tight to have enough hens to secure carlot shipments of eggs.” he stated. “You already have an entree In the eastern markets. They know you through your apples. Your eggs would meet with demand. If yon prop erly packed them, for packing is as Important in egg marketing as In ap ple marketing.

During the 3-yesr period the families brought to the state reached 3.130, and their to tal Investment lias reached eight or nine million dollars. Mr. Ide was introduced by Txwlic Butler, who declared that hla work has been of great value to the state. ALLEY AND COLLMAN TO MEET THURSDAY Judge Butler detUred t*at such m- t ormat ion la misleading and prone to do an injustice to the order. He asked ilia audience to consider Jhe great cornerstones of Elkdom. charity, fidel ity, Justice and brotherly love. He cited that one of its greatest tenets is nat riotlsin. While he expressed the love that Elks have for their members in death as In life and declared that the meeting was especially to honor those absent brothers, who had failed to answer the roll call, be urged in concluding his address that Elka do not fail to rv- meml>er the living. The eulogy of the day was given by James II. Haslett. Though brief, Mr. Haslett’s address was In wordh well chosen.. Those who heard it declared it a gem among short addressee. Mrs. A. H. Kolstad presided at the Riverside organ. Rev. F. Gordon Hart, acting chaplain of the lodge, pro nounced the Invocation and benedic tion. The vocal solos of Mrs. C. II. Rletton and Geo. William Smith were highly appreciated. K. P. CONVENTION DRAWS MANY HERE At the Knights of Pythias conven tion of District No. 7 held In Castle hall Tuesday evening, the banquet of chicken and all adjuncts for a royal feast were served by the I’ythian Mis ters in the banquet room of Riverside church. About 123 chairs were occu pied. The orchestra of the band fur nished s good program of music during the banquet. The program at the Castle hall was made up of selections by the Pythian band, vocal solos, a duet by Alfred Neal and Frank Atlee, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, a Swedish Interpretation by Frank Morse and a reading by Jack Norcott, of 'rhe Dalles. Supt. Trimble, of tbe Pythian home, gave a very stirring address on Pyth- ianism and the Home. Al Meyers, of Cascade Locks, and several others also gave short talks. I,. Powell, district deputy grand chancellor, presided as chairman. A truly Pythian fellowship was manifest throughout the whole session and all were convinced that this was the l>est district cohventlon ever held, deaplte the fact that E. I. Ballagli, grand chancellor, was Unable to be present. Meiniiers of Waucoma No. 30 are urged to keep In mind that the election of officers will take place December 14. Tom Alley, who defeated Walt Washburn, of Los Angeles, tn the most sensational match ever seen in Hood River, will meet "Doc” Collman, of Hood River, at the Rialto theatre next Thursday evening in a finish match. 57^ Alley made himself a great favorite with the fans In bis bout with Wash Ifta E.

MISS SIMPSON IS BLUEBIRD WINNER 4% Drastic resolutions were adopted af ter a debate lasting half a day at a session of the Wsshlngton Horticul tural association at Wenatchee hut week. The principal interest centered ill t lie request for h grade and pack conference, to take up the question of eliminating tbe C-grade and going up on a twoq>ack basis. Another resolution that provoked emphatic opposition was that asking the legislature to prohibit the ship ment of sny car of fruit unless a re lease has been Issued by the state and fedefal horticultural inspection depart ment. Thia is really compulsory in spection and the opposition prevailed, the resolution being laid on the table. Other resolutions were as follows: Amending tbe code to give the horti cultural department authority to de stroy all infected trees; asking tbe federal government to aid hi develop ing the apple trade with the orient; asking the legislature to exempt all agricultural products from taxation for one year, while in tbe process of marketing; asking an appropriation for a fruit experiment station and laboratory in one of tbe larger fruit growing districts; asking that the sale and shipment of all infected fruit be prohibited by law; indorsing the Pa cific north wrest boxed apples advertis ing and merchandising campaign and favoring tbe repeal of tlie clause in the transportation act which guarantees the railroads a fair return upon their Investment, thus practically fixing rates, without limiting or regulating their expenses. This latter action is held to be necessary before any reduc tion in freight rates can be brought about. _ _____________ • .3 d II .*■ I SCHOOLMATES AT TEND GIRL’S FUNERAL The senior class of tbe Hood River high school was dismissed Monday in order that members might attend in a body the funeral of their classmate, Miss Ruth Isenberg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
