Ii will be seen from the above fig
ures that Mr.. Aekerman's statement
was correct Mr. NeH also gave some
other interesting information on the
subject which corrected several state
ments that had been made and set the
ball rolling Ia the right direction.
Mr.. Shelley of Odell spoke in the
same vein as did Mr.. Mason in regard
to the pride Of the Oddities in their
local school, but said that as a repre-.
sentative of his district he could say
that he had no further objections to
make.
Mr.. Noble Of FranktoR said that
something would have to be done to
relieve the oongested condition Of the
school IL his district soon, and while
the residents Of the district were very
proud Of their school he thought that
the plan as outlined was good rem
edy and ought to receive the consider
alton of those present.
AT this juncture n. j. Smith who
had remained quiet listener in the
meeting, was asked by the Rev. Mr..
Hershner TO express himself on the
matter, and he did so with so much
eloquence and enthusiasm that at the
conclusion of his talk IL was very evil
dent from the animated expression Of
his listeners faces that there we're no
more opponents Of the high school
question In the room.
Other gentlemen then spoke on the
matter, among whom were A. q. Stat
en-, Lee Morse, O. ID. Thompson, Mr.
Brown, Mayor Blowers, and last, but
not least, Chairman Sherrleb, who
made the most convincing argument
for the school that was made ut the
meeting.
A motion was then made by Mr.
Staten and seconded that 1t was the
sense Of the meeting that it was in
favor Of consolidating the valley In
one district and was carried.
Mr.. Mason then made motion
which was seconded by Mr. Staten
that a committee Of two be appointed
from the districts Of the lower valley,
including 0dell, Frankton, Barrett,
Crapper and Pine Grove, and the city
of Hood River to hold meetings in
the different districts and present the
question to the residents. The mo-
tion was unanimously carried and a
second motion was made selecting
Mesars. Neft, Wiley and Thompson as
committee to appoint the commit
tees.
There was some talk about delaying
the appointment of the committees,
but Mr.. Shelley and Mr.. Mason both
urged that it be done while there was
such good representation of the
school districts present and their sug-
gestion previled.
The meeting then adjourned until 2

selected the following gentlemen to
look after the district meetings:

Delegations from Mount Hood,
