torium by the high school glee clubs
and a chorus of 50 children from Park
street school., The training and direc
tion of Misa Sherwood resulted in one
of the moat appreciated musical event«
in Hood River.

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.
Hickman wan seen by District Tor-
ent Ranger Wheeler as he passed the
Herman creek station about 7 o’clock
About 7.80 Mr. and Mm. 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

VALLEY’S TONNAGE

Did any one in Hood River feel the
Christmas spirit more qulckeningly
than did the members of the Hood
Itever Elks lodge on Monday morning,
when the lodge and the Rialto theatre
were hosts to some TOO children of the
mid-Columbia at the annual Elks
Christmas tree party?
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.

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.
According to present arrangements
the Little Theatre group will give a
one-act play at the Rialto each month
and several three-act plays will be
presented during the coming season.
Members appearing in the first show
will be Vienna Ilukarl, Jea«e Manley.
Paul Reed and Lewis Hart. Mr. Man-
ley wRl appear in monologue.
CHURCH SERVICES
HERE BEAUTIFUL
Ushered In by solemn high mass at
8t. Mary’s Catholic church and closing
with vesper services at the various
Protestant church«« of the city, the
worship of Hood River folk in celebra
tion of the birthday of the Ravlor was
general. 8t. Mary's church was crowd
ed, the attendance tiring augmented by
visits from many non-Cathollc friends
of the pariah.
The attendance at the morning aerv
ted at Riverside church was heavy, and
the sermon and music were Impressive
The big church waa beautifully decir
ated and the vesper service drew a
large attendance.
One of the most appealing and
unique of the Christmas services waa
that at the Japanese community house
on West Sherman avenue. The chll
dren, who iud been drilled hjt Rev
Inoue, toek theU parte well, »nd »
number of the adult Japanese women
and men participated. Many of the
white* friends of the Japanese were
present to add to the Mg throng in the
hall.
A special feature of the service at
the Christian and Mtarionary Alliance
church at the Rnnday morning service
was the augmented choir. A special
Christmas service was held in the eve
ring.
The Rnnday morning service at the
Asbury Methodist church Included spe
rial musical numliers. A special Christ
mas solo waa rendered by Misa Mar
jorie Miller. No evening service was
held Bunday. Rev. Young stating:
“Because of the desire of «o many
to spend the Christmas evening at home
with their familic*, onr regular eve
nlng service is cancelled. You are In
vited to spend the time in meditation."
¡£ The traditional Midnight Holy Com
ninnI<J?f''-iiervlce was celebrated on
Christmas Eve for the first time at Rt
Mark's church this year. The symbolic
illumination by the candle light, with
the carols of the Holy Night, helped to
transport those present to the loved
Judean hills and town. 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”.
The Christmas season was very fit
tingly observed in the two Christian
churches of the community. The Vai
ley church held their service on Sat
urday evening, and the city church on
Sunday evening. The former decor
ated the auditorium in a very attrac
tire manner, and the mixed program
consisted of a number of very appro
priate and pleasing numbers. Read
Inga by the little folks, tableaux, ap
propriate music, playlets, together with
pleasing lighting effects made the serv
ice both entertaining and effective. A
gorgeous Christmas tree adorned one
corner of the room, and Banta Claua
made hla appearance to the delight of
the llttld folks, and Christmas randies
wore generously distributed. The house
was well filled.
The city church gave a pageant-play.
The platform was beautifully furnished
as a home, with parents, children, etc.
Bible Incidents were pantomimed as
the father read the Incidents In the
family Bible; the poor found their way
Into the comfortable home and shared
the joys with the family. The decora
tions, the costuming, and the lighting
effects made the entire evening one of
delight to all present. A large Midi-
ence was In attendance, and appreci
ated the painstaking program.

Because of the ex 2 lonally low
yield of apples the pad.-, Jar, the top-
nage of nood River Valley product«
was cut the lowest record in 10 years.
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.
