18th STREET
TO BE OILED
COUNCIL HOLDS BUSY SESSION
Contracts Awarded For District s Sewer
And State Street Improvement
Bonds to be Advertised Again

Hood River will have oiled streets
according to decision made by the
city council at busy session held
Monday evening. The oiling will be
first done on the new Twelfth street
macadam road from State street south
to the city limits including the jog at
May street This new pavement is an
excellent roadway but cannot be per-
served without constant sprinkling or
the use of oil and the city fathers be-
lieve that the oil will be cheaper and
will make better permanent improve
ment. County Judge Derby explained to
the council the method of oiling ad-
vised by the government expert and it
is planned to go ahead with the oiling
Immediately. State street on the
south side between Sixth and Ninth
will probably be oiled by the property
owners. They made proposition to
the city some time ago and the council
authorized the temporary closing of
the street for the work when they had
agreed with the street commissioners
to do the work in the proper manner.
Two contracts for municipal work were
let by the council Monday evening, the
proposal for improving State street
from Sixth street to East Second
offered by w. G. Aldred being ac-
cepted by the council and the contract
for constructing the sewer in district
eight being awarded to r. d. Gould 4
Co. No bids were put into the council
for the improvement of the north side
of State street between Sixth and
Ninth streets and a resolution was
passed by the council permitting the
property owners to privately contract
to have the grading and filing done in
accordance with the plan made by the
city engineer.
A new ordinance providing for the
advertisement and sale of the $4,000
issue of municipal water bonds was
placed before the council Monday night
and passed first reading. The ordi-
nance for the supplemental assessment
for the district four sewer was passed
by the council
The mutual" telephone franchise
ordinance was given second reading
and referred TO the street committee.
Councilman Brosius spoke Offering sew
eral objections TO the ordinance. espec-
tally with regard to the assignment of
the franchise and the time limits pro-
vided for.
The "Pill Law" W, ch was ably
fathered by Councilman Slocom,
passed its last / acting az the council
and is now law owing to the emer-
gency clause which was tackled onto
the end of it. Tire emergency clause
Of the ordinance, whiea WIS drawn by
City Attorney Derry left no doubt IN
the minds of any OF the council or vis-
itors present of the necessity of the
proposed statute. The clause follows
and should not be attempted without
the aid of dictionary I'm as much
as the indiscriminate distribution of
patent medicines, soaps, pills and
other articles deleterious to the public
health by agents to the dwellings in
the city of Hood River bids far to
work havoc with the inner mechanism
of the adolescents Of our ty, an
emergency is hereby declared, etc.
etc. AS a vocabulary Of that sort is
pretty expensive Councilman Slocom
made the ordinance fine of from $25
to 500.

WOODMEN COME ON
POSTPONED TRIP

Apout three hundred Woodmen of
the World with their families were in
Hood River Saturday afternoon as the
final number on their weeks conven-
tion program at Portland. The original
schedule was to have the excursion to
Hood River on Thursday, but owing
to the disabling of the the steamer
Charles r. Spencer the trip was put
off until Saturday, when the lodge men
came on the Bailey Gatzert. The local
committee had prepared dinner for
the visitors Thursday and had secured
automobiles to take them for ride
over the valley, and when they were
unable to come that day, the com
mittee notified them not to come at
all, as it would not be possible to get
up another entertainment for them on
shrot notice. The members of the
order came along on Saturday and no
preparation had been made to enter
tain them. However, the local people
got busy after they arrived and sue
ceeded in securing enough automobiles
to take large proportion Of them for
a trip around the valley. The visitors
arrived on the Gatzert shortly after 2
O'Clock and brought along their own
band to enliven things. They were in
town for a couple of hours. The party
was taken to the Odd Fellows hall
where a few brief speeches were
made. The impromptu reception was
a success as is witnessed by the follow
ing sentence in the Oregouian com
menting on the postponed trip:
Preparation had been made for a
big reception and the disappointment
was more keenly felt by the residents
of Hood River than by the Woodmen
of the World tor the latter We're de-
lighted with the hastily organized
reception yesterday

CLIMBING MT. HOOD
EASY THIS SEASON

1t is SAID by persons who have made
several trips to the summit of Mt. Hood
this year that climbing easier than for
several seasons past. There are only
two crevasses to be met in the
glaciers this year and 1t is not
necessary to cross either of them, it
being easy to get arou d them
Mason Baldwin, of the First National
Bank, who went up with party Of
IL Sunday said that while the going up
was easier, that the sliding down was
rougher this Eyear than usual, and it
greatly resembled the dump the
bu mps.
There was a large crowd climbed the
mountain last Sunday. Besides the
party of dozen with Mr.. Baldwin, ten
Japanese from the valley scaled the
peak and when the Hood River parties
reached the top they met party Of
about a dozen which had come up
from Government Camp on the west
side of the mountain. The ten Japs
who went up Sunday proved to be
pretty good mountain climbers and
made the trip in better time than the
Hood River party, which included two
young ladies The Japs did not use
ropes and had no calks in their shoes.
They had picked up clubs and sticks
which they used in place Of alpen-
stocks, but they almost literally
crawled up the mountain for good
dael of the distance The Orientals did
not blanken their faces or wear
goggles.
The Hood River party included Roy
Sawtelle, Jack Culbertson, Mason
Baldwin, Ray Koontz, Herman and
ferdinand Struck. They went up to
the camp of Lou Baldwin Saturday
evening, where they were joined by Mr..
Baldwin, Misses Elizabeth and Mable
Skinner, of Long Beach, CAL, who are
guests at the camp, Homer Rogers
and Mr.. Patterson, Of the upper
valley, and Portland man joined the
party at Cloud Capp Inn.

An Unfortunate Response.

The problem of too many churches
in given locality is often perplex-
ing one. 1t is asid that the churches
in certain village on opposite sides
Of the streets, were so close that when
the congregation in one church sang
'Will There Be Any Stars in My
Crown" the congregation in the other
church promptly responded, mo, Not
One; No, Not One" Fortunate it Is
if the seeming contradiction is con-
fined TO the unintentIonal inharmonious
responses in songs. August Lippin-
colts.

FAvoRITE FOOD

The famous gumbo, or gombo
of the Southern States and OF

larry of the Western hemisphere.
Is really a nickname for okra, or
ochro, as it is sometimes spelled,
for while the dish is composed of
several and varying ingredients.
okra is the foundation, the body.
and likewise furnishes the
'frills,' the remaining compon-
ent parts being so blended with it
that they lose their individuality
IN its all prevailing mucilaginous
beSi1ning and end, beguiling and
delicious from first to last.
The Okra is known botanically
as the Hibiscus ~esculentus, being
a neal relative of the Towering
hibiscus, whose brilliant blossoms
are so familiar to the old-fashion-
ed hollyhock, tOothsome marsh
mallow and the all conquering
cotton.
In the tropics okra seeds, ma
tured and dried, are cooked very
much as is barley in Northern
climates. The mucilage of the
roots is said to be free from the
slightest odor and perfectly white
when powered, superior to even
the powder of the marshmallow.
and around Constantinople the
okra is much cultivated for the
root powder as a base of confect-
ions.
Incidentally the root, made into
a detection, Is given to allay ir-
ritation and inflammation inter-
and parts of the plant made
into poultices to apply externally.
AS foods this mucilaginous quail
(the gombine) renders the
plant of much value. 1t is so
digested, so acceptable to
all the organs which take up
disintegrate and distribute food
through the system that it may
be readily understood why it has
become such a favorite in the t;
