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. We are Just getting ready for
