TENT CITY
NEAR PARKDALE

The summer camp of the teachers
institute in the Upper Hood River
Valley on the Woodworth park mile
and quarter south of Parkdale pre-
sents the picture of veritable tent
city. MIR. and Mrs. A. Andrus, Prof.
M. f. Cady, of Walla Walla College,
Prof. C. A. Shull, Prof. IL. Wetsfall
and j. j. Knapp have been at work
this week placing the 40 big family
tents and the commissary department.
MIR. Knapp. who formerly lived here,
was instrumental in securing the insti-
tute for the Upper Valley location.
The scenic spot was chosen IN order
that the teachers might have oppor-
tunites of making visits to the lava
beds and of climbing the famous peak
of Mount Hood.
In addition to the teachers institute
summer normal school will be con-
Quoted. Both will be under the gen.
era direction of Prof Cady, North
Pacific Union Conference Education
Secretary. The sessions of both will
begin next Tuesday and continue for a
period of six weeks. Teachers from

UPPER VALLEYS
BERRIES COED

The strawberry season of the Upper
Valley is drawing to close. Eacl
day the numerous Indians that have
been aiding in the picking of the fruit
are seen returning through this city to
their reservation homes in Washington.
The crop has been of good yield and
the berries have shown excellent quail
ity. Because of the good prices re-
ceived this year, the returns have
been, indeed, gratifying to the grow
ers.
The Glacier force held a royal feast
Monday night and showed their appre-
citation of the quality of half crate Of
berries by consuming the most of it.
All express their gratitude for the
repast, thanks to j. f. Thompson, who
so kindly presented the berries
j. G. Skinner, secretary of the Com
mercial Club, recently sent crate
each-of Hood River berries ard cher
ries to his father at Hamilton, Ohio.
Despite the fact that the temperature
was ranging around the hundred mark
in the Middle West, he has received a
letter stating that the fruit reached its
destination in a perfect state Of pres
erVati0n.

GLENWO0D MAN
PERFECTS MONOPLANE

A number of parties of Hood River
people, who have recently made trips
into the Camas Prairie country Of
Klickitat county, Wash, report that
it is an interesting spectacle to watch
the construction by Prof. Peter Thro,
at Glenwood, Wash, of large aero
plane. Prof. Thro, who has long been
a resident of Glenwood, has recently
returned from Portland, where he has
been engaged in the study of aeronau-
tics. He has long been devotee OF
the subject and has spent many years
in an endeavor to perfect flying ma
chine. Models of the enormuos flying
machine on which he is working have
proven decidedly successful and he plans
to make his first fight at Glenwood
within the next four weeks. The
large 60 horse power engine, which
was ordered especially for the mono
plane, has been constructed by New
York company and is expected to
arrive at White Salmon this week.
Prof. Thro, who, however, is enthu
siastic over his venture and discusses
it with great interest with all who
visic him, is of retiring and modest
disposition and has chosen the quiet of
the interior OF Klickitat county in
order to be away as much as possible
from the throng of curious spectators.

GOVERNMENT ROAD
SHOWS PROGRESS

T. II. Sherrard, National Forest
Supervisor, who visited this city last
week, S enthusiastic over the pros
poets of the government road around
the base of Mount Hood. In a recent
communication to Leslie Butler, he
says:
''The preliminary location. so far as
it could be done by hand level work,
was completed a week ago and the
transit crew is now getting the pro
files.
''The results of the preliminary loea-
tion were even more encouraging than
we expected. for it was found that the
road can be put through on grade
not to exceed per cent at any point,
with many stretches practically level.
'"There are several bridges to be
built on this side of the Summit, but
no difficulties were found. In fact we
know definitely now from the prelim-
nary location that the route offers a
remarkable opportunity for a scenic

eve figure with the $4,000 appro-
priated By Congress for use this sum
mer, we can make the survey of the
road. put the trail through the Il miles
and build the road on this side of the
mountains to the Summit exclusive of
the bridges.
'In reply to your question there
will he about three miles of new road
necessary from the boundary Of the
National Forest to the proper junction
of the new road with the old road to
Lost Lake, at the Bridge across the
West Fork of Hood River. Estimating
roughly, a good dirt road can be built
here for about $1,000 per mile.

6eIated Reformation In the Case Of
Sam Doolittle.

One OF the easiest-going. most shift
less individuals that ever drifted
through life, too lazy to travel any way
except with the current, was Sam boo
little. Sam was born tired and never
outgrew 1t. Being behindhand was a
chronic complaint with him, and 1t
finally got so that nobody really ex-
pected anything else of him.
In the course of time Sam died. The
funeral arrangements had been made
and the announcement sent out. when.
owing to other engagements OF the Of
nciating clergyman, IL was found nee
essary TO change the time to an hour
ahead, and as consequence the body
reached the cemetery considerably
earlier than the original schedule had
contemplated.
AS the procession entered the gate
and halted, the old gravedigger, who
had not been notified OF the change of
time. dropped his spade in surprise
and asked:
rs that Sam Doolittle you've got
there?"
upon being assured that IL was, he
shook his head obviously and croaked:

must have turned over a new leaf all

man, for over fifty years, an this is

Said c. q n. Consolidation Will Be
Good Thing For Labor.

that is of only indirect interest TO the
stockholders. but If vital interest Ia
the Lake Superior district and the en-
ployes, is the sociological question,
VIII IL have a good or in effect on the
community? A sense of fear may be
felt that n consolidation would result
in lessening of the labor forces and
a structure on business.
There'is no foundation for such fear.
In fact the contrary is more likely TO
he the result. and the forces increased
rather than diminished.
one of the foremost purposes OF the
consolidation is to make IL possible to
work n lower grade of rock than has
heen worked i'm the past. because the
copper values throughout the district
are growing leaner as the mines grow
cider. Therefore If the old rate of
production is TO be maintained (and as
a matter of fact it Is likely to be in
creased Ultimately the tonnage OF
rock TO be broken will necessarily
grow larger.
The result will be the employment
Of more men. and this result will be
independent OF the shutting down of
and duplicate shafts. The
men employed on such unnecessary
lead work will be transferred to other |
workings where they will mine copper
'ock instead of poor rock.
Furthermore. extensive prospecting

Thirteen" and a "Bjtv

A thirteen" in money was a small
coin In circulation in Ireland in the
early part of the nineteenth century,
equivalent in value to thirteen pence,
and was known locally as "thir-
teen.' A bit" in money means any
small coin, as four-pen bit, a
six-penny bit. Specifically it is the
name of a small West Indian coin,
worth about ten cents. In parts OF
the United States there was formerly
current a small coin (called in some
states Mexican shilling), of the
value of IL 1-2 cents, and this was
called a bit" In the Canadian West

CAN'T TAKE FEES AWAY.
Boards Of Supervisors Cannot Fix
%. Salaries for Sheriffs

Attorney General Kuhn holds that
boards Of supervisors cannot provide
a salary for sheriffs. despite the care
with which the constitutional cone
vention provided for placing all coun-
~ officers on salary basis. As a
majority Of the counties in the lower
peninsula have prescribed salaries for
all county officers. members of tho
legislature are starting q hurried iu-
vestigation TO determine what action
they can take to clear up the siua-
ton.
In his opinion. the attorney general
refers to Section of Article of the
constitution, which provides that
boards Of supervisors shall have pow
er TO fix salaries and compensation OF
all county officers mot otherwise pro-
vided for by law" IL is this last
phase which the states legal adviser
asserts forestalls action 10y suqer,is-
ors to take fees away from sherins. 7s
there are numerous acts providing
fees for these officials. II is lntimated
that this ruling may also affect other
county officers who are entitled by
law TO retain fees paid them for OIL
Cial services.
