new ROAD WILL GET
SOUTHERN TRAVEL

E. E. Covert, who was here last
week to confer with county officials
relative to accepting the offer OF 5. 5.
Benson toward building the Portland
Hood River road, says that when IT is
constructed, automobiles travelling from
Portland and other Northwestern cities
will make use of it in going to Calfor-
MIA instead of travelling down through
the Willamette Valley. The travellers
will 90 from here to The Dalles, Mr..
Cooyert declares, and then go up the
Des Chutes and over into the klamath
basin. BY using this route three diff
cult grades will be missed, that of the
Calapooia mountains between the VIII
annette and the Umpqua river valleys,
that between the Umpqua 'and the
Rogue basins and the divide between
the Rogue and the Klamath basins.
The route through Central Oregon by
Bend is .said to be much better than
that through the Willamette.
The building of the road has created
a great deal of interest. The following
appeared in Sundays Oregonian
1.-THE County Court Friday opened
negotiations with Governor West for
the employment by the County OF
Multnomah of state convicts in the
construction of the Hood Kiver-Mult
nomah road. A letter was sent the
Governor asking him under what terms
convicts are released to the counties
and requesting the assignment of 9
number for work in this county. This
was done after a visit from +. Henry
Wemme, good roads enthusiast, wht
said that at conference with J. p
. Brien. general manager of the o..
w. R. & N. Company, the latter haC
expressed to him the company's will
ingness to assist. The railroad com
pany, Judge Cleeton said, is ready tt
donate its old right-o insisting
only that there shall be no grade cross
ings.
"The County of Hood River has al
ready perfected arrangements for fin
ishing the road to the line betweel
Multnomah and that County. Multno
NAH County will have to build betweel
10 and IL miles and the estimated eX
penditure is between $50, 900 and S65,
900. Governor West has already prom
ised to send convicts to Hood Rive
County to labor on the project. Mutt
homah County has already constructed
two miles of its portion of the road
Judge Cleeton said yesterday that tn,
county will probably eXpend abou
$4,000 on the project this year and Thu
balance later. The road will run alonl
the Columbia River and will be
splendid scenic highway. It's compile
tion will open road all the way iron

A ROYAL FLUTE PLAYER.
Frederick the Great Used to Move He
Auditors to Tears.

Abdul Hamid used to amuse himself
while he was enjoying life at Yildiz
kiosk by strumming III Trovatore" on
the piano. George Ill. was fond of
shouting the melodies of Handelian
choruses for the delectation of his
court. but the world has seen no reai
royal musician since Frederick the
Great played his last tune on his flute.
1t seems that the king exceled in
ndagiO movements. into which he in
fused warmth and tenderness of
feeling that would hardly have been
expected from the conqueror of Ross
bach and the friend of Voltaire. 1t
is difficult to listen to his performances
without weeping" says one musician.
One reason why he preferred adagios
was that he was somewhat short of
breath, which made him eschew or
chestral accomplishments for the more
delicate assistance of the clavichord
when he was practicing.
Toward the end of the Seven Years
war he sat down to play in quartet
and at the finish cried enthusiastically.
ut is as sweet as sugar!" His COM
panions were not so sure. for Freder-
lex had lost tooth. and his fingers
had stiifened with gout. Finally In IT'S
he had to give up his flute playing. and

Darkened Rooms Are Too Suggestive
of Darkened Lives.
Fresh air enthusiasts are familiar
enough to most of us, but we hear less
of enthusiasm for light. Darkened par

rooms are too common, says the Chris
tian Herald. Sir B. W. Richardson,
the London scientist and physician, de-
clared that when the professors Of
healing enter a sickroom their first
words In most cases ought to be
Goethe's dying exclamation: More
light! More light"
The light of the sun Is Gods own
microbe killer. germicide. dlsinfectant,
prophyactic, sickness healer. There Is
no physician, no chemical antidote. no
compounded prescription to be compar-
ed with sunlight. Without 1t nature
could not perform her functions. Man.
beast, bird, insect would fall victims to
the deadly gases that would prevail.
The horrid mists and deadly gases are

ton of light Let 1t In everywhere!

MR.. BENSON'S OFFER.

The offer of MIR. Benson to donate
the sum of. $40. 900 toward the con
struction of the Portland Hood River
road is an opportunity that Hood River
and Multnomah counties should not
lose sight of. They should make haste
to comply with the terms of the offer
and thus make the beginning of what
shall in no very distant day of the
future be one of the most scenic high
ways of the United States. 1t is
declared that by the use of convicts on
the construction around Shell Rock
mountain, this portion of the way may
be made passable by the expenditure
of the $40, 900. If so, this county and
Multnomah with the money available
in each of them should be able to make
a passable way connecting with either
end of the road constructed by the con-
Victs.
The opening of the Multnomah- Hood
River county road will do great deal
more for the citizens who live here
than merely to offer them a scenic
was to travel over. 1t will open the
region and make it accessible to many
more visitors. 1t is but a question of
time until the road will also be built
around the base of Hood. The Hood
River Valley will be the goal of hun
dreds of automobilsts.
Ii is declared by those who know
well the two routes, that on the com
pletion of the Columbia river road,
automobillsts travelling from Portland
and other Northwestern points will
come to Hood River and go up the Des
Chutes and thence over into the Klam-
ath basin instead of going down
through the Willamette, Umpqua and
Rogue River Valleys. The roads will
be better and three heavy grades will
thus be missed.
The money available from the offer
and from the counties will, of course,
not complete the road, but it will make
a beginning, and good beginning is
the greater part of the work of secur.
ing the road.

THE FRUIT COMMITTEES REPORT.

The Whole Northwest was very
eagerly awaiting the report Of the
committee of Hood River apple grow
ers, appointed TO make an investigation
on cooperative methods Of selling.
The whole region should be grateful
for the painstaking care with which
data was secured. The solution Of the
problem is far from solved. However,
by a process of elimination and by
the securing of great deal of other
valuable information, the committee
cut a great chunk in the work to be
done.
AS to the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change, it sutiices to say with the com
mittee, we are dealing with condi-
tion and not theory.
Ii should be particularly gratifying
to the local growers to know that their
prices have been materially greater
than those much boasted Of prices Of
the Exchange.
In whatever direction the growers
turn their minds toward cooperative
selling between the different districts.
they should use all endeavOrs toward
securing more storage. If the Hood
River Valley faces any problem at all.
il is the problem of securing storage
facilities for the product Of its in
creased acreage of orchards. In a
recent communication to the North
west growers, MIR. Sugrue, of Cash
mere, has seen fit to state that the
apple industry of the Northwest is at
a crisis, because of lack of cO-opera-
tive selling method. We cant believe
that Mr.. Sugrue means to convey what
those words may convey. The strang-
er, man unacquainted with the con-
ditions of the regions, who might be
interested in the apple industry and
desiring to make investments in or
chard land, would be alarmed at such
words. However, the crisis that Mr..
Sugrue speaks is but ehimera. The
cooperative system of the Northwest
ern Exchange seemed to most all Of
us, when we heard it, a decidedly
beautiful plan. theoretically. The
acid test, so termed by the officials Of
the Exchange. found that its machin-
cry was, practically. imperfect.
tut reverting to the storage prob
lem, in order for the grower to secure
the fullest returns for his fruit, and
that Is what the community is looking
for, a large storage warehouse, big
enough to care for many more hundred
thousand boxes than there are at pres
ent facilities for, should be erected.
The grower himself should provide a
suitable place to keep the sunshine and
winds from his apples before hauling
them to the storage plants.
The adequate storage facilities will
not only relieve the local growers from
the exceedingly high storage charges
that will be made if the fruit is
shipped out. but will protect them from
the serious consequences of car
shortage.

A SUCCESSFUL UNION

A successful selling union. such as
the Hood River Valley growers main
tain, is an institution TO be very proud
Of indeed. 1t is the outgrOwth of a
period Of evolution, during which time
many rebuffs, near failures and dis
couragements are met with. As stated
in the article from the Rogue River
Fruit Grower, which appears in this
weeks issue of the Glacier, Hood
River has one of the best union selling
machines in the country.
A union to be successful must work
absolutely for the interests of the men
who really gorw the fruit. The profit
to be derived from the selling must &c
to the growers. In other words the
selling agency must be owned by the
growers and for the growers.
The successful selling union is often
hooted at. 1t is often declared that il
cannot be made a success. Our local
union disproves the assertion.

HOOD RIVER GETS
NUMBER OF COLONISTS

Although the colonists rates have
been effective but seven days, j. H.
Fredricy, local agent of the 0.-W. X,

already come to Hood River. The
effect of the reduced rates has been
felt materially by the railroad com
pany, and all of the through west
bound trains are heavily loaded Be
cause of the increased passengers they
are being run in two sections.
The rates are being advertised ex-
tensively in the East and Middle West
and it is thought by the railroad Off.

been visiting the Fast that the influx
will continue until April Is, when the

THE PAPER MILL

With rail and waterway transporta-

that Hood River is an ideal location
for mill for the manufacture of high
grade paper, recalls that the raw ma

here as at the towns of the Middle
West. from which the west Coast Sc
cures the greater portion of its papers
now. Mr.. Goodenough's remarks be-
cause of his many years of experience
in the paper manufacturing industry
and because of our own eagerness to
secure here some manufacturing plant,
are very interesting to US.

the predominant one of the valley and

SULZER BILL WILL
MEET WITH DEFEAT

dispatch from Washington states
that the eastern commission men, who
are backing the Sulzer Box bill. which
will have a hearing today, agree to
compromise with the host of western
opponents, provided they cease their
attacks and all references to the west
ern box will be dropped out. However
il is probable that the western grow
ers will not agree to this. They say if
they do SO the box question will arise
next year in separate bill.
AT the meating Thursday. provisions
of the Sulzer bill will be assailed by
the western men present and an effort
will be made to have the bill amended
to adopt the Oregon box as the stand
ard and to readjust the grades SO that
the finest Oregon apples NAV 90 into
the market as grade A, with other
grades for inferior fruit. If these
changes can be made, Western apple
growers will support the bill.
