"AGITATE" SAYS
REV. DR. LOUCKS

"After a visit to Hood River Valley,
and receiving the cGurtesies Of your
worthy citizens, my impressions as to
the impro2ed conditions which will
advance your country to high degree
of development can be properly
summed up Us follows, " said Yelling
ton E. Lcucks to Glacier reporter:
"To the east of the river is a steady
up grade in the road which leads un-
der the brow of the hill, and in many
places it needs to be widened, and the
entire surface should be brought to
more even grade 10 make the road
more practical. The iolts and jars of
bringing fruit on that long incline
must certainly injure it to a greater
extent than should be allowed. The
effort of the road officials should be
directed to this road as it is practi-
cal highway for future development.
The efforts of the road officials of pre-
cinct No 6 to improve this road show
most commendahle result, and if
the same scientific methods are fol
lowed in after We rs, this road will
become a practical roadway for trans
portation, and will also be delightful
driveway for the increasing number
of tourists who seek your beautiful
city.
"The road west of the river is in
bad condition on account of the very
steep grades which make it more and
more expensive to fruit growers, and
in the damage which will be done in
moving the crops. The material used
g., ilN opI a holf
or two miles is of excellent quality,
and after exami ling the river gravel
| find that with proper screening, |
believe it will prove to be excellent
road material, especially for surtac
ing.
"These two roads make such a loop
in the Hood Valley as that their per
manent improvement should be the
objective point for the expenditure of
road money, and | shall watch with
greatest interest the progress of your
community as it rises up to this i'm
portant requirement You will see
| that | am also taking into account the
advantages which Hood Rivre possess
es, as a resort, and you will find that
the class of people which seeks out the
delightful atmosphere and genial eli
mate of your valley will become a
basis of supply of capital and funds
needed to make these larger develop
ments.
Most certainly on the map Of this
country, there is no point which has
impressed me more favorably for "a
bright and profitable future than has
Hood River, and bear with me most
pleasant memories of our stop in your
city. The practical point before your
people is to agitate for good roads and
develop a spirit of harmony in action,
so that when we return to make the
demonstration in building the model
section of road your Goo Roads AS
sociation will have all the necessary
funds to prosecute it to a good fulfill
ment. -

GUESTS SUNDAY OF
THE WINANS BROS

Eerly Sunday morning and prompt
ly at 7 O'Clock the members of the ma
tional good roads party boarded a
four horse carry-all from the Fashion
stables, with Bert Stranahan in the
drivers seat, and were off for the
Devil Punch Bowl at the falls of
Hood river, where they we're the
guests of the Winans Bros.
The day was ideal in every respect.
Not cloud obstructed the hills and
distant STOW peaks. The air seemed
Favored with nectar As the miles of
berry fields aud clover meadows came
into view after the Indian creek bridge
was passed, the Eastern visitors began
to draw on their bountitul supply Of
superlatives, which it took but short
time to exhaust.
"We have found some very beautiful
and attractive valleys since leaving
Chicago, " said Colonel Moore, "but
| am forced to admit that this eXcels
them all in its many points of excel
lence.
1t was a jolly bunch aboard the
wagonette. There we're some excel
lent voices, too, and it wasn't long
until they broke into song The good
roads anthem, "Why is the Wildcat
Wild?" pleased those who had not
heard it before, but when turn in
the road brought into view the Beulah
land orchards, the tune switched to
'There is a land that is fairer than
day." etc Beyond the Tucker bridge
the swaying pines overhead made
music Of their own, while hugglng
close onto the bank which kept the
road from slipping into the water was
the surging torrents of Hood river.
A break in the forest and a cultivated
field appeared filled with waving grain
and sending up the fragrance Of new
mown hay. Everywhere was there a
scene to delight the eyes of the visit
ors.
The city of Winans, the terminal Of
the drive, was reached shortly after 9
o'clock. Here Michael NeIf and his
camera we're met with, and the party
lined up beside the big frs and was
photographed. The journey to the
falls and the punch bowl was continued
on foot, and another photograph taken
of those of the party who descended
the rocky precipice to the brink Of the
pool
Old Sol was high in the heavens
when the party reached the Winans
residence. In the dining room stood
the table covered with an array Of
tempting dishes prepared by the skill
ful hands of Mrs. Winans and daugh
tors. The call to dinner was promptly
answered, and the way the good things
| disappeared was not slow.
This was Senator Dodge's second
trip to Winans, and he was not con
tent to return this time without a
climb to the top Of the bills On the
west side of the river Hose who
took this side trip reached their car
at Il O'Clock at night.

HERE, VALLEY
OF CONTENT

Colonel 7. P. Rlxey, of Missouri,
when asked as to his impressions of
the city of Hood River and the sur
rounding country, very willingly ex-
pressed himself as follows:
can American cannot know too
much of his country and its wonderful
resources, the character and stability
of its citizenship, the fertility of its
soil and climatic conditions. Forum
ate indeed is the man who has been
blessed with opportunity Of travelling,
not in foreign countries, but III all
portions of the United States. We
have visited nearly all the states and
territories; in each of them we have
found much to commend and of which
the citizens have just right to be
proud, many of them having much
which others fail to possess, in the
aggregate making a community and
composed of people the most favored
and greatest on earth. Without dis
paraging any, but feeling the greatest
pride in all, we are free to confess
that in no place have we found such
a combination of favorable and happy
conditions as in the Hood River val
lev and the country surrounding the
wonderful little city of Hood River,
Oregon, situated at the conjunction
of the Columbia river as it flows to
the ocean, and the Hood river with
its pure crystal water; with the snow
capped mountains of Mount Hood
and Mount Adams standing as sentl-
nels, dispelling disease and driving
away from its victims relentless death ;
the fragrance of the tallest pines in
the world freighting the air with their
healing balm, mines of untold wealth
in the mountain sides; soil, in its fer
tilitv rivaling that of thu Nile; the
neatness and beauty of its urban
homes. As we looked upon the hun
dreds of acres of luscious straw berries
and the prolific orchards of apples,
pears, cherries and other fruits, waV-
ing fields of grain, and the most beau
tiful and fragrant flowers in the world,
we felt that we had at last looked upon
the "valley of content.
"If the thousands and hundreds Of
thousands of men who are seeking a
place where they can realize the acme
of life "Contentment" knew of your
city and your most Incompatible peO-
pie, city and country, then would
come to you the best people of the
East. North aud South, seeking for
health, happiness aud a bountiful re-
turn for efforts wasted in many less
favored sections Of cur country which
they now call home. 1t is for the peo-
pie of your city and county, by per-
sonal and organized efforts of private
and public improvement, thereby be-
coming benefactors, and the human
family, the best of whom God will
bless because they beautified and
adorned bis earth and love their fell
lowmen You have good people, a
wonderful country; you should be
thankful. We will never forget all the
kindness shown us, the pleasures we
enjoy and the anticipations of the fu,

WAS THE BEST
THEY HAD SEEN

con our journey from Chicago, "
said Colonel Moore, president of the
National Good Roads association, eve
visited the principal cities and valleys
along the great trans continental rail
way, and after arriving west of the
Rocky mountains we proclaimed ca h
valley and city as the best we had ever
seen. When we visited Hood River
with its beautiful healthful location,
and made a detour of 10 or 20 miles
up the Hood River and through the
valley into the dense pine forests,
travelling through thousands of acres
of apples, cherries, peaches, strawber-
ries and other fruits, we reached the
climax. Coming down the east side
road we viewed the Hood River val
ley, containing more than 80, 900 acres
of fertile land, more favorably located
and watered by the melting SHOWS OF
old Mount Hood, than any other re-
giOn W, have visited in our Is years
of travel in promoting the improve,
ment of the public highways Of the
several states and territories.
1.-The possibilities of your section
are unlimited. l propheSy That within
10 years the great valley lying between
Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams will be one
vast agricultural field, embracing
thousands of families and dotted with
truck farms, orchards, vineyards, Ger.
eals and stock. CoZy homes, schoo.
houses, churches and factories will be
prominent feature of your future
assets.
"We shall not forget your people.
"We shall not forget your valley.

" Work on, work on,
Work wears the world away.
Hope when tomorrow comes,
But work today.

ten acre ranch in the Cook settlement

the land but two years and this season
took off in the neighborhood of 500
worth of berries. He paid $500 for the
ranch, showing the possibilities IN

and Mrs Hyberger will not leave the
locality, but on the other hand VIII
secure another site.
Among the new arrivals are Mr..

in the Mrs. Green building. Mrs.
Jennings is a splendid cook and all
can be assured that they will get splen-
did service at the new eating house.
A lunch counter will be added and
meals served regularly. A first class
baker has been employed and fresh
bread, pies and cakes will be baked
daily. This fills long felt want in

the town is growing and that before
the summer is over there will be many
other additions in a business way,

The Spider.

One problem fitted for the zeal Of
the fOlklOrist would be the tracking
back Of the spider. There is that nice
story about Robert Bruce and his hay
ing learned patience from the spider.
The Islamltes use the web Of the spider
in the flight Of the prophet. Probably
the Arabs had II direct from the Jews.
There is a Talmudic tradition Of David
flying before Saul and of David hiding
In q cave, and how he might have been
discovered had not n spider woven its
web across the entrance, This is pre-
cisely the same incident as is used in
the hegira. The arachnida spins but

Grasse, In the Riviera, the Center OF
the Perfumery Industry.
Graded in the hills in the heart Of
the Riviera, the little town OF Grasse
holds the monopoly Of the trade in
scents.
Just why this spot should have been
selected is not clear, for there are a
hundred other places which are quite
as conducive 10 the growth Of flowers
and much more accessible. But two
or three manufacturers settled here
and others followed, so today Grasss
has it all her own way.
For miles there are orange groves as
far as the eye can reach. There are
fields Of roses, jasmines, tuberOsess
violets, jonqulls and mignonette.
The air is heavy with the scent Of
these blossoms, but, should you wander
through the town with its dark and
narrow streets. the experience is vastly
different. Here the scents are stronger
and more pungent, and. mingling as
they do with the odors Of grease and
machinery, the atmosphere is heavy
with a thousand scents in process Of
manufacture.
The pick Of the crops IS brought to
the factories by the farmers whose
little homes dot the surrounding hills.
Bruised and broken blossoms lose
something Of their fragrance, 20 the
flowers are carefully borne in large
trays on the heads Of the farmers

are what they profess 70 be. You may
