BEST TIME HERE THEY HAD ON TRIP
MANY New and Novel Experiences Greet
the Young Ladies at
Hood River.

dies to Hood River Thursday and Fri
day of last week was one of pleasure
to guests and those Of Hood
River who we're fortunate in meeting
the distinguished party. While no
elaborate entertainment was provided
here, 1t was one which will ever be
pleasant memory.
Mrs, S. f. Raitmess was chairman |
of the comui,tee OF arrangements, |
and IL was a happy thought in select |
ing nine young ladies to entertain the
guests during their stay in the city.
The party we're met at the train
Thursday morning from The Dslles,
where they had spent the previous
day. and escorted to the Mt. Hood
hotel. At nine o'clock they were tax
en- for a drive through the valley IN
two wagonettes, making the fist stou
at Ii. G. Bsteham's, where they we're
treated to grapes. The second stop
was made at the Davidson Il Van
Horn orchard on the Davidson hill,
where they were given an opportunl-
ty to pick apples. 1t was quite an
event and thoroughly enjoyed. lt was
the first time in their lives that they
ever picked real appes from tree, as
apples do not grow upon the islands
where they have passed their lives. IL
ia said that Hood River is the first
place in all their travels where they
have been allowed such privilege,
and they thoroughly appreciated 1t.
