BUYS SUNDAY H THE ALTO PARK BUSINESS Because of the position taken by The Glacier some three or four years ago and because of the active criticism that was directed at us at that time for our stand on uprising the sale of the plot of ground used at that time for a municipal automobile park, we feel justified In pointing out that a park, operated on that plot thia year has been, perhaps, one ot the most sue- cssaful along the mid-Columbla section of the Colombia river highway. The Glacier cited that the city should not purchase, at least for development as a automobile park, the Batchelder tract west of town. We pointed out that ths automobile park business was due to suffer from keen competition. Things have turned out as we pre dieted. The city had a little bonaaaa in the three-acre tract, on which it vAu operating an automobile jrnrk. It sold it, the deed carrying a restriction against its use for auto park purposes for three years. The time limit was up this year. The plot, which is in plain view of the highway and which is characterised by inviting trees, was immediately utilised as an automobile park, and the municipal park and other parks at the west edge of town suffered by the keen competition that it offered. J. O. HANNUM One of the first citisens of Hood River county to vision the Mount Hood Loop highway was J. O. Hannum, whose sudden death last Bunday brought a shock and sincere grief to many folk of Hood River. Mr. Han num In 1914r1815 and those early days quietly worked up the sentiment of Portland and Hood River folk who set in motion the campaign that brought the great loop road to early material isation. And Mr. Hannum, too, was the first to suggest a highway to Cloud Cap Inn up the ridge that lies between Band Canyon and the Tilly Jane. Mr. Hannum was a public spirited cltlsen. He did much for the advance ment of the local highway program. He has written himself Mto the history of the highway system and the devel opment of the scenic attraction of Mount Hood. He was genial and kind ly spoken, and in recent years he had made scores of friends through his activity as host at Homestead inn. Hood River county will miss Mr. Han num. We are not advised In the least as to the merits of the discussion over the elevations of the street on the south side of the new Hood River high school building, but we would urge that city and county authorities arrive at some early conclusive agreement, In order that the city school board may proceed with permanent Improvements there. The new city school Is the most impos ing structure of the county. In arriv ing at conclusions relative to the May street elevation, nothing should be done that will interfere with a proper beantl- fication of the grounds around the new building. The fire in the kitchen stove feels delightfully comfortable these recent mornings. Many householders have be gun to grumble In anticipation of a long winter. We advise all, however, to withhold murmuring» about the weather. These rains are but clearing the air of the accumulated summer base.

The first are said to have been brought to Mex ico by Cortes. They were n hardy breed, nurvivlng the heat and drouth of Western plains and the cold of the high plateaus. The Western advance of civilisation brought with it the competition of shorthorn cattle and other breeds bet ter fitted for the markets. The long horns were crossed with other breeds until there are only a few left In the world. In tlie West the shorthorn and Black Angus attained popularity. In East Texas, where the mosquitoes and fev ers of the low country decimated the longhorns, cattlemen turned to the sacred cattle of India. .’The 14 longhorns from East Texas l>ear 10 different brands.
