Betty's character is the scheming HIT
tleness of Mistress Roxanna, who
through Bettys intercesslon with the
manager of the theatre, succeeds to the
place she resigned. Isabel Irving, always
charming and delightful, is said to por-
tray the heartless, selfish jade with rare
SKILL and is an excellent foil to the deep
er more sincere character of Betty. When
Lady Charlotte's influence over Mains
bury has become so great that Betty
feels she can no longer remain under the

retreat and calls upon her former friend

COMMERCIAL CLUB
GETTING BUSY

The Hood River Commercial club
held an informal meeting last Friday
evening for the purpose OF resuming
active work In the interests of the
valley. During the summer the club
has only been transacting routine
business and attending to the matter
of furnishing information to those
who applied tor it.
Now, however, that the vacation
season is over it expects to start in
on campaign Of education and ad
vertising In regard to Hood River and
to take up several matters that have
been presented to 1t in the interests
of businessmen and others.
The officers of the club state that
they would like those who have any
suggestions for the betterment of eco
nomie or commercial conditions in
the city and valley, or that will help
the organization in enlarging its scope
OF activities to make them known.
At it's meeting 1t endorsed the idea
of having the business men OF the city
use an ad which can be printed on
the back of an envelope and which in
brief tells the story of Hood Rivers
fine apples, its wonderful develop
ment, its fine climate, how 1t is stu
ated, its conveniences, its banking
and many other things about it that
will attract the attention of the recip
lent of the letter or whoever handles
it.. As mail from Hood River reaches
all parts of the world the club thinks
this should prove most effective ad
at a minimum cost.
Advertising matter for the fruit
fair is also under consideration and
1t is expected that some provision will
be made to supply visitors with a
souvenir of some kind.

COMMISSIONER REID
LIKES OUR ORCHARDS

A recent visitor at Hood River was
}. IL. Reid Commissioner of the First
horticultural District of Oregon. MIR.
Reid was accompanied Ey his wife and
was here two days returning to his
home at Milwaukee Tuesday. He has
earned the reputation since going in
office of being fearless and energetic
and hard worker in the interests of
better fruit in Oregon. Kerosene is
the weapon employed by him for di-
seased fruit found in the markets of
his district. Where owners have re-
fused to take the necessary steps for
cleaning up their orchards he has not
hesitated to have the trees grubbed
out and a suit for 81, 00O is now pend.
ing against him tor destroying a
peach orchard affected with scale.
This is not however worrying Mr..
Reid as he feels that he was doing his
duty.
While here be visited the orchards
of the valley and had nothing but
commendation for all he saw, saying
that methods employed in growing
fruit at Hood River are so different
from those used elsewhere that only
by grubbing out their orchards and
starting anew can other sections hope
to equal the perfection attained here.
Persons who see the orchards at Hood
River will cease to wonder at the big
prices and fine quality Of it's fruit.
Everything is in its favor, soil, eli
matte conditions and general feel

''CLEAN UP THE
CITY and VALLEY

Several progressive residents Of
Hood River have taken up the slogan
of "Cleau up the city and valley"
and are urging that something be done
to make the acknowledged attractions
of the city and valley appear to an
advantage.
The present condition of the city's
streets Is said by one disgusted citizen
to be disgrace to Hood River, al
though he says 81 had invited several
friends to visit here during the sum
mer. l. was almost ashamed to have
them come Rocks, boulders and de-
bIis of all kinds are scattered about
the streets all over town. Weeds grow
in luxuriant profusion everywhere
and there is enough cordwood on the
streets which has di diopped off passing
racks to supply a good sized family
for the winter. Outside people hear
so much about Hood River that when
they come here they expect to see a
model city in point of cleanliness and
what they have seen this summer has
kept their entertainers busy explain
ing the why's and wherefors. We
ought to all take a day of and clean
up. A movement to organize civic
society here to look after such mat
ters, would, am sure, meet with a
hearty response.
1t is said by those who have taken
this matter in hand that conditions
out in the valley are as bad rs they
are in the city end that while or.
chards are in the finest of conditions
the appearances around houses and
barns are anything but beauti-
full. A gentleman, who has the inter
ests of the valley at heart, in speak
ing of it the other day said: "We
are all more or less to blame for this
and it is more matter of negl ct
than intention. 1t is remarkable how
little time it takes to change these
conditiong if ranchers would only
think of it. Nothing looks neater or
adds more to the appearance of q farm
house than to have the weeds cut
around it, lawns kept Sin shape, and
farm vehices and agricultural imple-
ments kept off the road and out of
sight. With so many visitors con-
stantiy in the valley during the sum-
mer it would certainly add very
much to Hood Rivers reputation for
progressiveness If ranchers would
clean up. Anyhow, let's all make AN
extra effort in this regard in time for
the fruit iair and meeting of the State
Irrigation association.

shown by actual figures that this Or
ganization is saving it's members S75, :
90 each year IN the matter of boxes,
spraying material, and fruit wrap
peing paper. The prices received
from the fruit Of the plantions have
advanced in some instances from 25
to over 100 per cent and in addition
the buyers come to the association
uniting with them to fix the price at
their home station. The Puyalup Il
Sumner, the Yakima and other associa-
tions are like examples OF what orga-
nizaticn is doing for the individual.
Even where there are only few grow
ers producing the same class Of fruits,
1t pays to get together. The packing
will improve, shipping to the receiv
ing merchants can be made more reg
ular and as consequence the price
fixed is more Satisfactory. Orchard

So much taken WAS Mr.. Reid with
Hood River that he expressed himself
as desirous of obtaining some land
here and it is possible that he will be.
come resident Of the community o.
which he is such an admirer.
