HOOD RIVER GLACIER. THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, I92J ROWENA & LYLE LOS ANGELES CON- MclSAAC DONATES FOLK HAVE SCARE TINUES TO EXPAND HIS TIME FOR TOUR (By A. D. Moe) Los Angeles, Jan. 17, 1927. Tlie Glacier: Leaving Yuba City in a rainstorm, which lasted most of the forenoon, we followed the Garden high way to Sacrameuto, then south through the Hau Joaquin valley to Tulare, t where we s]ieut the night. The storm, which hud been general through north ern California, did not reach farther south than Fresno. The next morning we left Tulare in a heavy fog, which was worse than the rain, as it required slow and careful driving. By 9 o'clock it lifted as we eutered Bakersfield, but as we headed for tlie Tehachlpe moun tains great lianks of clouds hung low, and we anticipated a disagreeable trip over the mountains, but the fog lifted. By tlie time we reached the 29 miles of curves tlie sun came out and the grand panorama of the scenic Ridge route spread out before us. About liulf of the curves have been widened anil straightened and the work is being continued through the balance of the crooked, narrow road, which will speed up travel and lessen the danger of acci dents. We arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday afternoon. On acccqmt of the long journey ahead of us we will tarry here only loug enough to visit our relatives aud call on a few friends. I had a wry pleasant visit with W. J. A. Baker, representative of the Apple Growers Association, this morn ing, and we visited a few of the deal ers who are handling Hood River ap ples. One of the big dealers said that he regarded tile Diamond brand of the Association worth ten cents a box more than any other brand of apples on the market. Healers are having a good deal of grief this year with all northwestern apples. On account of the peculiar growing season the fruit is not holding up, and many cars of apples are com ing in full of decay, overripe, and in general bad condition. Some of the di-ak-rs are rei«eking Hood River ap ples anil are suffering a loss in many cases of 25%. Some of the cars are being sorted out, selling the damaged stuff to the "buzzards" (a Los Angeles name for the peddlers). Mr. Baker says that it is now impossible to sell a car of apples until they arrive and are inniiected. The market is strong for good apples, and sound, perfect apples are grabbed up quickly at advancing prices, while the fruit beginning to show d«*y is a drug on the market. All of the apple districts in Oregon and Washington are having the same trouble. There are in cold storage in Ix>s Angeles at present about 200,000 boxes more than a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Franz, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hmltli. aud Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Nichols are in the city visiting friends and rel atives. Mr. Baker said that he was expecting Mr. and Mrs. II. T. DeWitt the latter jiart of the month. L isi Angeles is still growing steadily, a good many large business blocks go ing up, and while the siieculative real estate taioni has quieted down, there ia a steady increase in business generally. Coming in from the inland route we saw a Los Angeles city limits sign that hail been moved several miles farther north than where it was last year. Automobile traffic is on tlie increase, but is handled wry effectively. New thoroughfares pre belug built, which reileves the congestion in the busy sec tions. Out on Santa Barbara avenue there fs a 15 mlt4 speed limit sign still stunding. but it is a joke. In fact, if traffic olteyed this sign it would tie blocked in two inlndtes. All reason able sliced limits are removed if tlie driver is skillful enough to get through without hitting anyone. I WHILE JUEP SLEPT A. C. Ixifts, Jr. and E. A.

Vader the Spreading Antlers When Fred Donnerbcrg. who jour neyed to Portland last week with a party from the loi-al Elks lodge to greet Grand Exalted Ruled Grakelow, was introduced to the crowd, it was announced that he was a kind of hy brid animal, a member of the antlered tribe and also of the genus rodent. It was explained that Mr. Dortherberg was a member of Hood River’s famous Crag Rats. The recreational organisa tion was given n eulogy.

R. H. Cbamlierlin, who lives on a promontory on the Washington aide of the river, retried that be saw two men start out on the ice from the Ore gon side toward mid-afternoon. About 3.80, using field glasses, he saw what be thought a head or two beads pro truding above the ice. He immediate ly got In touch with The Dalles and Rowena. Andy Pearson, of Rowena, says The Dalles Chronicle, was the first man to act, but lie misunderstood tlie direc tions and went down the railroad track below the point where the men were Seeing Bupisiaed to lie struggling, nothing, he returned home. A party from The Dalles, including Hans Blaser. Frank Heater, C. M. Zell and Cliff Allen reached Rowena short ly after 7 o’clock, and after obtaining minute directions by telephone from Chamber la in, went to the point and combed the shore thoroughly, searched the surface of the ice with lights, and called over tlie frozen river. Lew Riggs and two members of the section crew joined the searchers at Rowena, aud the shoreline was exam ined thoroughly for tracks, but none were found leading out on the ice. The victims, if there were such, could Uuve gone out on tile ice from some other point aud paralleled the bank for some distunce, however. Darkness aud the treacherous char acter of the ice, broken into churning masses and interspersed with spaces of open water, prevented the searchers from venturing from the shore. One theory advanced was that the objects taken for human heads might have been tlie to|« of piling, but Chamber- lain declared that whatever it was he saw was not there when he scanned tlie river earlier in the day. Tracks were found leading to a boat frozen in tlie river at a point exactly opposite where tlie men were supposed to have gone down, but no footprints lead out onto the ice. It was thought possible tbut a person might walk out on the snow covered lieach and be thought, from the Washington shore, to be a distant« out on the ice. A young man was due from The Dalles in Lyle Sunday afternoon. He bad planned to cross the river by ferry from Rowena. Lyle friends feared he might have attempted the hazardous crossing. The young man, whose name was not ascertained, came on to Hood River, crossing on the bridge here, He arrived home Sunday evening. SKI CLUB MEMBERS HOERLEIN’S GÜESTS Winter s|Mirta activities the paBt week have lieen transferred from the highland reaches of Mount Hood to the Hoerlein ranch in the Oak Grove dis trict, where Hans and Paul Hoerlein, enthusiastic meinls-rs of the Hood Riv er Ski club arranged a long ski run with a Jump at the bottom.

The changes Mr. Sonniksen has made in the gym equipment have met with the greatest approval, especially the private lockers for each member and the new ring which is arranged so as to make it possible to have smokers. Next week is going to be a busy one with so many boys working out for the future matches. The gfm will be open to non-ciub members who *wlsh to see work outs.
