River school had intended securing J.
II. Ackerman, state superintendent of
public instruction, to come to Hood
River and induce the people Of the
valley to unite in the organization Of
valley high school. The people Of the
country districts did not take up with
the idea and the project has been
dropped, so G. l.. Gilbert informs the
Glacier. The plan of the valley high
'chool was the organization of an insti-
u'ion of learning that would work for
IIiciency and economy with all con-
rerned. The people Of the country dis
ricts preferred TO maintain high school
grades in their own schools, and the
ilra of one good, strong high school, for
The valley and worthy the name Of q
nigh school had to be given up.

1903 Angora goats last fall and started |
in the goat business on John Leland |
Henderson's ranch on White Salmon |
heights. He says there is good deal /
to be learned in caring for goats; that
il is mistaken idea to suppose goats
will flourish on oak grubs and hazel
brush alone at all times of the year.
In winter they need good shelter and
good hay, and he says if he had given
