STORES
Off to the War.

Not exactly, but off to some Of

Walters, two of the best known
men in central Kansas, started

lost his arm, also Gettysburg,

don't know what he meant. but
can guess. Then they would take
a night train to Pittsburg, where
some of JOe's people live, and
they would get filled up again,
and then they would hike on to
where Ira's folks live and get
some eating. Then when they
got to Atlantic City, everything,
even the water, was supposed to
be free. On the return trip they
expected to work the same rack

LEROY ARMSTRONG
HAS STORY in POST

'"The MAJ Who Came Back" was the
title of story in the Saturday Even
ing Post last week of which Leroy
Armstrong, of this city, is the author.
The tale is that of Chicago printer,
who after many years experience of
the vcissitudes of city life, goes
back to the land" He and his wife
have hard time getting to Utah
where the writer sets their homestead.
Tney walk through the Rockies and
the wife rides mule part of the
way. They have hard time, but
eventually their labors for themselves
bring independence. The story is in
terestingly written and highly worth
while. 1t is apparent that the author
is not only trying to tell the story but
he wishes to show that man had
better work for himself on farm
than for another man in the town.
This is not the first literary work
which has been accomplished by Mr..
Armstrong who published book some
years ago dealing with the old Canal
Days in Indiana. He spent many years
in active newspaper work and since
coming to Hood River he has heen
devoting much of his time to writing,
using his great fund of experience as
material for narrative writing from
which some social lesson may be
drawn

FASHION STABLES
TO HAVE new SITE

Two big real estate deals were
closed this week which will result in
the construction of a new building by
the Fashion Livrey company at the
foot of Oak street and probably in the
improvement of the quarter block now
occupied by the stables at First and
Oak streets.
The ground with 100 foot fronatige
on each of these streets was bought
from the Fashion company by Charles
A. Bell. The price of the lots was not
made public and Mr.. Bell, who went to
Spokane Mnoday, night has not made
his plans known. He now owns three
quarters of the block bounded by First,
Cascade, Second and Oak streets in
Guiding the Fashion lots, the Mt. Hood
hotel property and the old Shasta
Water Jack Corner.
The Fashion company has purchased
land from Nus. Matte Oilar at the
foot of Oak street aggregating between
one and half and two acres on which
new stable will be erected. The
land has l76 feet frontage on Front
street running back across the low
ground to the Mt. Hood railroad right
of way. 1t runs south from the rail-
road to State street where there is a
frontage of ISL feet. This large area
has much room for storage buildings
and the frontage on the railroad
tracks will afford exceptionally good
shipping facilities.

VAN HORN COMPLAINT
MAY BE AMENDED

In decision handed down by Judge
Bean Thursday in the Federal Court in
Portland he stated that his court had
no jurisdiction in the case which had
been brought into court on complaint
filed in the name of Burt Van Horn
asking for an injunction forbidding
the sale of the municipal water bonds.
The case was not rightfully in the
court because the complaint did not
show that he would be compelled to
pay taxes to the extent of $1,000 If
the bonds were sold. Judge Bean gave
the plaintiffs ten days in which to
amend their complaint if they could
show that they had a right to the
court and in the meantime the temper
ary restraining order holds good.
The judge allowed the withdrawal
of the Pearl Morton petition of inter
vention and said in his decision,
"it satisfactorily appears to the Court
that she does not wish to join in this
suit and was induced to make her said
petition of intervention at the request
of others"

that the carload exhibit which was to
have been held in Philadelphia next
week had been postponed for week,
making it conflict with the National

This change makes it necessary for
Mr.. Skinner 20 cut out the Philadelphia

next week where a small exhibit is
being made. If he does not do that he

Car Shortage Troubles.

The shortage of refrigerator cars is
still holding up shipments at the Annie
Growers Union warehouses and as the
crop is running something like SO, OOC
boxes in excess of the original esti-
mates it will be some time before the
crop is out of the valley. Shipments
are being made just as rapidly as the
cars can be secured but the Union is
only receiving few varieties which
should go on the Holiday market.
Spitzenburgs, Baldwins and Black
Twigs are being taken but the growers
have been requested to hold the New
towns until the Union facilities can
accommodate them.
