MT. Hood Ont for Good Roads

The people of road district No. 8,
Geo. M. Wishart, supervisor, made
move in the right direction, when
they voted seven mill special tax foI
the improvement of the Neil Creek
road. They thoroughly understood
when they did this that the county
court would levy ten mill tax or as
large a tax AZ the law allowed for roac
purposes. This making with the sew
en- mill special levy, tax of seven.
teen mills for the impi ovement of the
county highways. There is nothing
that will improve any country or any
community as much as good roads.
lhe enteGprising people of the Upper
Hood River valley realize this, and
this enterprising spirit, no doupt,
has doue much to attract the vast
number Of people who ire now put
ting their money in this section with
The avowed purpose of making it their
permanent home. transportation fa-
eilities have long been the barrier to
their progressive advancement. This
is now solved. Railroad transpnrta-
tion to the heart of the Upper Hood
River valley is now an assured thing
This with the good roads the people
are determined to have, will make
this one Of the most attractive spots
OF our great valley.
Good roads is the one thing that
Hood River needs. 1t j. the one thing
we must have at sny cost. Good
roads should be our battle cry. Ev.
erybody should assist the county court
in building good roads. Every dis
trict should follow the example of
road district No. s, and cote some
special tax to further the extension of
good roads The wealthy road dis
tricts near town cannot afford to let
the outlaying districts in the Upper
Hood River valley take the lead in
anything that has SO much to do with
advanced civilization, as good roads.

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
By Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby,s Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
 Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face. We went to doctor who treated him for three months. Then he was so bad that his face and head were nothing but one sore and his ears looked as if they were going to fall off, so We tried another doctor for four months, the baby never getting any better. His hand and legs had big sores on them and the poor little fellow suffered so terribly that he could not sleep. After he had suffered six months We tried n set of the Cuticura Remedies and the first treatment let him sleep and rest we'll; in one week the sores were gone and in two months he had a clear face. Now he is two years and has never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis beck, R. F. D. 3, San Antonio, Tex. Apr. 15, 1907"

IL seemed that they were not affinities after all, and life together was unen. durable. so the wife packed up Ter be. longings and was preparing for a trip home. At the time of parting she picked up their little pet dog and tucked him under her arm, while her other managed the suit case.
 Why. you're not going to take Irixy," exclaimed the husband.
 "of course l am" she announced. T couldn't live without him"
 Well, l can't let the little fellow go." he insisted.
 And simply won't leave him. she declared.
 So they argued for half an hour, at the end of which she decided to stay. and unpacked to cook dinner. at which Trixy was the guest of honor.

 The mother whispered, low: Hes got toothache."
 And the lad, as he sat up to listen to the preacher. muttered. in a stage whisper: Lucky dog"

 Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will weGY a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food. finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion.
 Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of Cause and Effect in their daily food. A N Y young wom- an writes her experience thus:
