R0DE0 MAY GO
TO SAN ANTONIO

The Rodeo, the big field contests of
the cowboys of the southwest, which
closed Saturday at Los Angeles. may
be taken to San Antonio. The idea of
the form of entertainment originated
with Hood River men, number of
whom are members of the company
II. c. fallen. who first proposed the
scheme, returned last week with Mrs.
Allen. He said that, while no definite
plan had been made when he left the
south, it was likely that the perform
ance would be taken to San Antonio.
The promoters of the RodeO con-
pany, among them members of the rail
road companies leading into Los An
geles, were unfortunate in having ex-
tremely bad weather for the first DAYS
of their performance, which was sched-
uled to have begun on March 8. Be-
cause of the heavy rains in Los
Angeles, the company barely made ex.
enses on the shows. The cost of stag.
ing the production was about SIS, 600.
"Since my trip south, said Mr.. Al
len, 81 am more thoroughly satisfied
than ever with Hood River. | have
been to Wenatchee and other North
western fruit centers and while in the
south saw the orange groves, but |
prefer Hood River as home to any
place that ! have ever seen.
Mr. and Mrs. ?. s, Davidson, who
were in Los Angeles to witness the
performances of the big show, will re-
turn about April |, MIR. and Mrs.
Charles Hall and son, Keith, will re-
main in the south indefinitely.

PRISON LIFE I''..TER-
ESTS ROY D. SMITH

The following is a letter written by
Roy ID. Smith TO the Oregonian
81 see in the news from Salem that
W. Cooper Morris, former banker, now
guest of the state of Oregon in the
penitentiary, is i'll. The article states
that he is exceedingly yellow and hag-
gard and for several days has been in
the prison hospital. The news further
states he is suffering from acute indi-
geston and other disorders.
We'll, Salem penitentiary must be
exceedingly unhealthy for convicted
bankers, like her sister institution in
Atlanta, Ga.. which was so unhealthy
for boarderJ of this kind that the pres
ident had to pardon one out of this un-
healthy place.
well, it certainly makes interest
ing reading for the average citizen to
discover how these state boarding in.
stitutions are so fatal to the welfare Of
this class of criminals. ! think that
the state should have special health
report published by those in authority
at Salem. | presume the state OF Gre
gon, in all pro ability, has 100 men
whose health is just as poor as this
man s, but it is only this precious
ones we have the privilege of reading
so much about. Punish with a spirit
of justice to all and special privileges
to none. Let it be said there is one
place in Oregon where all are in com
mon fare alike.
81 would naturally think W. C. Nor
ris had able attorneys for his defense
and was tried by an impartial jury.
Now, in behalf of humanity. let us not
create special privileges among prison
ers who have been caught in common
dragnet of the criminal law. These
are few thoughts of a common for
mer citizen and taxpayer.

Visiting Women Welcomed

The last meeting of the Woman S
club, March 20, was very enjoyable
affair. After a short business meet
ing and the admission of one new
member, about 80 ladies from the two
clubs of Underwood and the Woman 8
club of White Salmon were ushered in
and introduced.
A short program had been prepared
by the entertainment committee, con-
sisting of solo by Miss Brock and a
play entitled, How the Story Grew, "
by seven ladies. Refreshments were
served by the social committee to l35
people. A very pleasant hour was
spent visiting old friends and getting
acquainted with new ones and when
we said good bye everyone felt the af-
ternoon had been all too short.
The next meeting, April 3, will be in
charge of the musical committee. A
fine program is being prepared. The
club will also finish the adoption of by
laws and it is hoped every member
will be present. PressCommittec.

COUNTY TO CONSTRUCT
TWO NEW BRIDGES

The board of commissioners has adj
vertised for bids on two new bridges
to be constructed in the county, one a
steel structure to be placed over Hood
river to take the place of the wooden
bridge at location of the Hyrdo- Elec-
tric plant and the other new wooden
bridge to replace that across West
Fork of Hood river, where the Lost
Lake wagon road crosses.
County Surveyor Murray Kay has
just completed the designs and ypeciii-
cations of the steel bridge. The steel
span, which will rest on a rock founda-
tion at either side of the river, wills be
Ill feet long. 1t will have a capacity
of carrying a potion load. The designs
call for what is known as a connected
pin steel truss.
The bridge shoor will be so raised
as to cut ont the present grade in
crossing the tlume of the Hydro Elec-
trio Co. The approach on the east side
of the river. passing over the flume,
will be 46 feet long. The west ap-
proach will begin Immediately from
the solid stone bluff.

MANY CITIES OWN
THEIR SPRAYERS

In view of the recent ordinance
passed by the city council requiri &
the trees and shrubs within the city
limits to be sprayed, the following item
clipped from the Wenatchee Advance
is OF interest to local people.
District horticultural Inspector
Darlington is of the opinion that Wen
atehee will make mistake unless "A
municipal spraying outfit is purchased

only practicable way of dealing with
fruit tree pests within the limits Re
garding the legality Of the city owning

the fact that Cashmere took this SAN e
question up with the county attorney
some Yeas ago and found that there
is nothing to prevent such action, AZ

many years, including Prosser, WASH

MANY POTATOES
GROWN HERE
ONE SHIPMENT MADE TO TEXAS
CrOcker & de Rediig and F. II. Button
Will Have Large Acreage this Season
Good Yield and Crop Profitable.

Not only do Hood River apples go to
Texas, but a carload of potatoes were
recently shipped direct from Hood
River to Houston, Texas, by f. II.
Button. who probably raised more
potatoes than any other grower in the
valley last year. Those who have
travelled over the road to the boat
landing have seen the bottom land
where his crop is produced. His yield
last year amounted to more than a
thousand bags. M. Button, who has
also shipped great many potatoes TO
Portland, will plant large acreage
this season. lie plans on putting
about 20 acres in potatoes.
The largest acreage of potatoes in
the valley this summer will probably
be that of Crocker & de Reding, who
have secured % acres of Paradise
farm, which they will plant. They
have already had the ground prepared
and will make an effort to have por-
ti0n of their crop reach maturity in
time TO make sales of new potatoes.
/ Although great many potatoes
were grown here last year, the acreage
for the coming season will probably be
the greatest known. 1t has been found
to be a very profitable crop to raise
between trees. Nearly every rancher
with newly cleared land or with young
trees raised potatoes for his own use
and sold small portion of his crop.
The Upper Valley raises larger quan
titles of potatoes every year. The
greater portion of the crop there re-
mains undug. Because of the good
demand aud the good prices to be had
for the tubers at the present time, the
growers will receive good prices for
their product.
Southern California faces most
serious potato famine 1t is said that
there is less than months supply in
sight, and the new crop, because of
the past winters drought, is weeks
late. The best tubers are selling there
Tor from So rs to $3.25 per bag aud it
is said that they will probably reach
the high price of five cents per pound.
Shipments from Oregon, Washington
and Idaho are SLOW in reaching the
south and people are already resortng
to substitutes. They may have to go
two months without ''spuds" with
their steaks and chops.
The fact that the lack of early rains
Will make the California new potatoes
late in reaching the market will in
crease the demand for early Oregon
potatoes.
The average yield of potatoes here
will probably reach about Us bags.
