AUTOMOBILES
The Pacific Highway

The automobile owners of Central
Oregon. Wasco county and in Hood
River are coming to realize the impor-
tance of securing the Columbia river
boulevard. 1t will form part of the
Pacific Highway, or should, for it is
the most feasible route between the
north and south. The lower Columbia
cities are urging the building of the
route from Portland to the sea. In
time all of these ways will come. No
doubt, the people of the willamette
and Rogue River valleys will to a GER
tain extent oppose the name, Pacific /
Highway" " being applied to the inter-
lor route. However, when one ap-
proaehes a man with an argument Of
common sense and reason, he is gener-
ahy listened to-.
To open road that will be passable
down through the Willamette and
Rogue River valley countries will take
millions of dollars. AS soon as the
route is opened up the Columbia, the
road is already open. 1t is natural
highway, already built. The motorists
of the North and South coast want to
travel now. They don't want to wait
until the days Of flying machines for
way. 1t may be too late for enjoy
ment then.
Then the route up the Columbia is a
part of an east and west as we'll as the
north and south transcontinental route.
The canyon of the Columbia is the only
natural passage eleaving the Cascades.

THE NEW WATER SYSTEM

AS another obstacle is removed from
the path Of the administration in lis
efforts 10 furnish the citizens Of this
city with sufficient and ample pure
water for domestic use. il would seem
that the realization Of their efforts was
close at hand. The opinion of the emf
nent bond authorities of NewYork City
that the bonds are legal. removes any
valid objection of the bond buyers
against their purchase. If no other
obstacle is put in the way Of the ad-
ministration, either uHwittingly or ma
liciously. by those who are interested
in providing this city with plenty Of
good water, or by those who are OPP
osed to it, the money will be in Hood
River and construction begun on the
work in about sixty days. The opinion
is very pleasing to the . U'listration
and gratifying to the city attorney, as
a viudication Of the persistent efforts
of the former to persist in what they
have contended was As right course,
and Of the latter's legal ability. That
attorneys for former bidders for the
bonds have found technical objections
to the bonds being legally issued, gives
rise TO suspicion Of quibbling over
unimportant matters. or that there IS
"nigger in the woodpie. "

work that has been done and calling

and sufficient for city twice the size

APPLE GRADING MA
CHINE DEMONSTRATED

The new apple cleaning and grading
machine invented by o X. Porter, of
The DaIles, is on exhibition this week
in the warehouse Of the Davidson Fruit
Co. In the past two days a large
number OF growers have examined the
machine and all are well pleased with
its operation. 1t is the opinion of
many that it is the best and most per-
feet machine of its kind that has been
put on the market.
The machine requires but a half
horse power motor to run it, is simple,
with but few parts to look after or
get out of order. and the principles of
mechanism are practical for the work
intended. Two men can, with this
machine, wipe and grade thoroughly
about 1000 boxes of apples per day,
while the capacity can be increased tC
$500 with a little practice.
The apples are placed in a canva.
