will be $50 In number, moie or less.
1t is the purpose OF the people OF
Hood River, town and valley, to meet
these excursionists with conveyances
and take them through the valley, 60
ing out on the west side, stopping
for 80 minutes res. OF the teams at
the Pine Grove Grange, where a few
five minute speeches will be delivered,
returning to meet the boat at 6 p. m.
lt is also intended to run an excuI-
sion train on the Mt. Hood railroad
to attend the exercises at Pine Grove
and enatle to the citizens OF Hood
River to tie present thereat. Another
object in running the train out is in
case the day should be disagreeable
the Portland ladies oould be taken on
the train, instead of in the convey
ances, should they so desiIe.
The committee OF arrangements and
reception, appointed by the CONNER
cial Club, consists OF j. l.. Hendei
son, chairman, W. J. Baker, j Fl.

committee has met and appointed a
sub committee consisting of j. M.
Culbertsou, F. W. Angus and j. II.
Heilbronner to take up the matter of
oonveynnces with the out of town peo-
pie. Of course, the resources OF the
town are limited and the livery
stables will be taxed to their utmost,
with all the volunteer town convey
ances, and cannot proviGe for half
Of the excuI sionists, SO, in order to
make the matter success, the farmers
will have to come to the rescue. Sew
eral have already volunteered, one
man Offering to furnish three outfits.
The sub committee above mentioned
will Ee very much obliged to all
friends of the movement who will
come In and volunteer so that the eX-
cursion can be made success.
The Portland exoursionists are de-
fraying their own expenses and will
bring with them one of Portland 8
best brass bands. No advei tisement
that the valley has ever received viii
be equal to this, as the object OF this
excursion Is to examine the valley and
to "ooost" it. There will be Go OF
the leading real estate fir OF Port
land represented In this excursion,
all of whom have the interests in
Hood river valley at heart, and as
cal estate men are invariably active
and great promoters, much good will
rebound from this excursion In the
valley. Let US all get together and
make 1t a success. Any C, mmunica
tions or suggestions eau be addressed
to the sub committee, or to j. M.

AS the time draws near for the clos

resent Hood River as queen on its
gorgeous 5000 float which will appear
in the parade during the Portland
rose festival, interest is increasing.
Until yesterday Miss Nettie Allen and
Miss Leila Hershner have alternately
headed the list, when Miss Margaret
Nickelsen's friends rallied and placed
her In the lead. While the announce

surprise to the friends who are work

many more votes up their sleeves
which will soon be forthcoming.
Miss Irma MoReynolds, who is third
In the race, is said to have the sup
port Of large number OF admirers
who are quietly getting ready to de-
posit bunch OF votes that will place
her name very near the top when the
next count is made. Miss Howard,
who llves on the east side OF the val
ley where che is we'll known and is
dsservedly popular, Is also stated by
her friends to be in the running, and
so far it looks like anybody's race.
The float being constructed for
Hood River is said by those who have
seen it to be one OF the most unique
and handsomest that will appear 10
the parade, and to be credit to both
the city and valley, as also to the
young lady who will be fortunate
enough to be chosen to grace 1t on
the occasion OF the grandest pageant
that has ever been attempted on the
Pacific coast. Hundreds of Hood

Letty's face matched the tints OF the
pink and white apple blossoms she had

From the next room came the rasp-

record was when We Are Married"
1t had been Letty's favorite In the old
days, and her eyes frightened as the
familiar strains were borne In upon
her consciousness.
When to this was added a second

her doubts were fully dispelled. With
a little cry of gladneSs she held out

from Travis, and then he vanished
from the room.

searching her face.
"And I'm glad you did," said Lefty
