MCCAN HORSE is
JUNIOR CHAMPION

Hood River won the honor of being
the home of the best young stallion ex-
hibited at the Portland Livestock show
last week. The Junior Champion
ship was awarded to Aurogan, the 2
year-old Belgian stallion belonging to
Captain Charles ?. McCan, in COM
petition with one, two and three year
olds. several of which had been i'm
ported especially for the Portland
show. This young stallion, which
was one of the best horses at the show
also took the first prize in his own
two year old class.
While in Portland last week Capt.
McCan bought Patchen Boy, famous
horse, which he has brought to his
Hood River stables. The new stallion
which, according to its new owner, is
the best horse ever brought to the
Pacific coast, was purchased from
Dick Wilson for $8, 900. Patchen Boy
is a large horse but extremely grace
full, pacing easily without boots or
hobbies. He made a mark of 2:l0 as a
three year old and is the only horse Of
that age which ever won six races
straight in the Grand Circuit. The
new stallion is now II years old and
past the racing stage but will be
kept here for breeding purposes, also
standing a season in The Dalles. Capt.
McCan expects to exhibit his horse at
The Dalles fair.

Three Teachers Added.

The greatly increased attendance in
the Hood River schools has made it
necessary to add three new instructors
to the teaching force in order to handle
the work. Two of the new teachers
are in the high school and the third
has charge of an additional second
grade class which has been established
at the high school building. Miss
Edna Groves, of Corvallis, has been
secured to teach the second grade.
Miss Groves is well-known here, hav-
ing visited in Hood River frequently.
A new high school teacher who will
have charge of the courses in domestic
science is Miss Horning. She is a
graduate of Drexel institute in Phila-
delphia and was formerly dean of
women and professor Of domestic
science in the state college of New
Mexico. Miss Horning is sister of
Mrs. C. D. Thompson. Miss Forrow
is the third new teacher and she will
have classes in English, History and
Mathematics in the high school. She
is a graduate of Iowa State College
and has taught TIVE years.

NATIONAL FORESTS
AS FAIRGROUNDS

Before the years outing season is
over nearly half a million persons will
have sought recreation and health in
the National Forests of the United
States. According to the record of
the U. s. Department of Agriculture,
the total last year was. in close fig
ures, 406, us. With the finest noun
tain scenery and much of the best fish
ing and big-game hunting Fin the
United States, the National Forests,
made more and more accessible each
year through protection and develop
ment by the Government, are fast be-
coming great National Fairgrounds for
the people.
The records show that the seasonal
use of the Forests runs from two
months in a Colorado Forest, such as
the Routt, to twelve months in an
Alaskan, such as the Tongass. But
the uses differ. In Colorado the 1000
visitors entered the Forest to fish, to
camp, to climb, and to drink the med
icinal waters; in Alaska the 1000 al
most solely to hunt and fish. The
1000 persons who went into the
Coconino Forest, Arizona, during nine
months, went to camp or to enjoy the
scenery. During four months $4,000
persons visited the Angeles, Calfor-
MIA. The most popular of the Forests
is the Pike, containing the famous
peak of that name. The various at
fractions within its limits, including
the scenic railway, drew 100, 900 tour
lists and others. By principal states
the National Forest visitors numbered
%, 600 in Arizona, 103, 900 in Califor-
MIA, 140, 900 in Colorado, 1000 in Mon
tana, 10000 in New Mexico, 33, 900 in
Oregon, $4,000 in Idaho, $1,000 in
Utah, and 1900 in Washington.
Hood River people take advantage
of the pleasures afforded campers in
the Cascade Forest Reserve up in the
Lost Lake Country and visitors from
all over the country make the trip to
Cloud Cap Inn in the National Forest
to view the scenery.
The sportsman finds his paradise in
the National Forests. In many of
them big game abounds. The rangers
and the guards, besides the service
they perform against the spread of
fire, often point out the best site for
the camper and the easiest route. A
record of 9,2l8 miles of trail cut, 1886
miles of road laid out, and 4,85l miles
of telephone line strung tells what the
government has done in the way of
pushing the conveniences of civiiza-
tion into the primeval forest. The day
of the wilderness of the savage and
the pioneer is swiftly passing; the day
of the National Forests as productive
resources and as National parks ap-
proaches. The report of last years
administration by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture evidences the
rapidity of the transformation.

HOOD RIVER GETS
EASTERN PUBLICITY

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
one of the foremost and most capabIy
edited papers in the United States, not
infrequently gives favorable editorial
comment to Hood River and the Won
derful apples from this section. The
latest is in regard to the recent sale OF
large part of the crop of the Apple
Growers Union to Steinhardt & Kelly,
of New York. The paragraph was
reprinted and commented on in the
Oregonian yesterday morning as fol
lows:
Mention like this from the Spring
field, Mass, Republican, pure reading
matter, first column, editorial page,
helps to bring Oregon to the fore:
"A good many New Englanders feel
that they have transacted quite a piece
of business when they sell the Is or
20 barrels of apples grown in their
orchards each year. There are larger
transactions in New York State, but
for real apple-buying one must look to
Oregon and Washington orchards. A
big transaction of the sort as COM
pleted last week, when the crop hand
led by the Hood River growers as
sociation was sold in one lot to a New
York house. 1t is supposed to be the
biggest red apple deal on record, and
between 400 and 500 carloads of apples
were sold for about 100000.
BY the time the paragraph is copied
into numerous exchanges, which is
sure to happen, whole lot of Eastern
folk will be puckering their lips for
some of the incomparably fine fruit
therein mentioned. Meantime, the
Hood River association will not take
unkindly the hint that box of extra
fancy Spitzenberg be sent, charges pre-
paid, to the editor of our distinguished
New England, contemporary not exactly
as an honorarium, but to demonstrate
the worthiness of the product so gen.
erously noticed.
1t is needless to say that Manager
c. H. Sproat, of the Apple Growers
Union took the tip from the Oregonian
and yesterday arranged to send the
we'll wishers in Massachusetts a box
Of the best that Hood River can pro-
duce which means there are CHEEKY
days coming in the eastern sanctum.
The big Portland daily seldom misses
an opportunity to say good word for
Hood River and the journalists on that
paper would probably appreciate a
complimentary box of the native
grown fruit from the place where it
grows best. One good turn deserves
another
