LOCAL OFFICERS GOT WORD TOO LATE The officers of Hood River were much chagrined that word was received too late by them that Edward Hickman, confessed slayer of little Marian Parker in Los Angele«, was headed this way last Thursday morning after having been seen In Portland. Hickman had al ready panned through Hood River when word was received from police author! ties in Portland. Local officers were still patrolling the gatewaya here when word was received from Pendleton that City Marshal Tom Gnrdane and State Traffic Officer Lleuallan had captured Hickman near Fossil.

Gordon Green saw the green Hudson sedan pass Af- derbrook farm, where they are living thia winter, on the highway just west of the Columbia Gorge hotel. It in evident that Hickman did not desire to pass through Hood River on a main street. Sometime between 7.80 and 8 o'clock Mr.« H. J. Lindsay ob served a green sedan daah down Mon tello avenue. The car stopped only when the driver rralixed that he had reached a blind ending. Mm. Lindsay waa attracted at the nervousness of the driver in making the turn.

When they heard the volume of childish voice« lifted in the rendition of "America", as led by James Wilson, they were inspired. When they listened to that great roar of excited children's applause during the tbrilliug scenes of the motion picture play, they knew that they had not only given the children a treat long to be remembered but that they had furnished themselves with a mighty fine Chrlatmas present. And it waa wortli while to be there at the Ri alto Monday and hear the greeting that Santa Claus extended and the spontan eous re«|M)iiHe he received from the children, In whom the flame of faith still burn«. J. H. Fredricy waa Santa Claus. Not a one of the adult« who wai at that celebration Monday will ever for get the dramatic tingling that lifted him out of himself a« the big Wur- Mrs. Vera Kolatad started the accom- Mrs. Vera Kolatad started the occom- paniment and James Wilson led the children. It was such a volume of melody as haa never arisen in the theatre. The handling of the crowd Monday was excellent. The parents of the com munity owe a vote of thank« to Mr Kolatad and bls staff and the members of the Elka lodge who todk ao keen an Interest in making the party a success All worked indefatigualily, in order that the decorations might tie at their beat and no one be disa|>pointed. The tree, a magnificent fir. perfect in its symmetry, was donated by L. C. Heiser, who trucked it in from hla East Side ranch plate. .Memliera of the Elka and the theatre staff decorated the big fir, and hun r. dreds of colored lights biased forth from the tinsel decorated greenery. The wiring and lighting effects were donated by the Apple City Electric Co. After the children had been greeted by Santa ClauS they formed in line« and were escorted ever the big stage. Santa shook the tiny tots by the hands and each child as the rear door of the theatre was reached was given a bag of Christmas goodies. A On Saturday a committee of Elks distributed baskets of food to needy families of the community. A large number of the gift bags were left seer after the Rialto party. These were given to Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Giris and Girl Scouts. * -J* LITTLE THEATRE TO GIVE SHOW TOMORROW k®\ of : ELKS HAVE CH R1STM ASS THEE PARTY V I, '•^■«tii.1 n KIDDIES SEE SANTA CLAUS ^7 9 2 Ô *« • X / 1 X . , Tomorrow evening at the Rialto theatre the Idttle Theatre club mem bers will make their first public bow for this season. Their vehicle, "The Master Salesman", la a one-act comedy of modern setting which may have taken place in any office or at any front door. Nearly everyone has met the "high power" salesman who sells bis wares by sheer linguistic endurance. Nearly everyone, too, ran derive genuine pleas ure out of the downfall of this particu lar type of salesman. Such downfalls have been caused in many ways, but the method employed by Zachary Tay lor Allen, a dirt farmer from Texas, in quieting the flow of eloquence and salt's talk from the lip« of George Sher wood, the master salesman of the Earthworm Tractor Co., In a rapping climax to “The Master Salesman”, has few equal«. The total net proceeds to the club from this presentation will be turned over to the chairman of the Boy Scout and Camp Fire Girls’ fund drive.

On Christmas morning the happy service of praise was made Intimate by the intercessory prayer for the help of the Saviour The rector's sermons were on “The Reason the Haviour Came”, and “The JBavlonr Who Came”.

Following the record heavy crop of 1020. trees generally over the valley bore light yields. Worm damage, too, as is always the caae on off yearn, was severe, and the percentage of applea I»eked out ran lower than la usual. Records of J. II. Fredricy, agent of the Union Pacific Co., ahow that 988 care of packed applea have been ahip- IM‘d. It is estimated that 270 cam re- main here. Shipments of packed pear« bare reached 205 rare, with S5 remain ing here. Shipments of other products have l«en a« follows: asparagus, fl cars; strawberries, 51 care; cherries, 17 rars: cull apples, 228 rars; canning pears, 25 cars and tsdatoes, 80 rar« approximately. Growers in every section report that fruit spurs indicate a normal yield of apples for the coming season. The pear crop will very likely be much heavier than this season, probably passing BOO care. The outlook.too, 1« good for a strawberry yield larger than the past year. The Union Pacific Co. and the Mt Hood R. R. Co. last summer completed construction of s second transfer track here, and this has facilitated movement of apples materially. An outstanding feature of the apple harvest season here this year was the completion of two large central wash ing plants, one by the Apple Growers Association and the other by the Mld- I’olutnbla. Cold Htorage Corporation. An investment of more than F75.000 was made in these plants, and with increases to be made next year the concerna, with other facilities that other shippers will install, the normal apple crop. it is anticipated, can be handled rapidly. »T 7 > r* •> r y PYTHIAN BAND TO STAGE BIG DANCE *> ’ ir ■4 ■ y The Hood River PytbKn band will hold another of its New Tear’s eve dances Saturday night.
