Archer Says Myers

CHICAGO. Oct. Jimmy Archer,

word to describe Ralph Myers. the
long Brave speeder He sprung 1t

Zimmerman Does Not
Relish Being Placed
In "Bonehead" Class

Heine Zimmerman, the clouting
third .baseman OF the Chicago Cubs,
who led National League batters in
1912 with a percentage of 1872. does
not relish the criticism of a certain
class of baseball writer's who put him
in the "bonehead" class.
That bonehead aspersion and the
insinuation that he would rather play
in New York than in Chicago are al
ways good for a rise out of the great
Zim.

win all the time and sometimes takes
chances that go wrong or a signal
goes wrong, then Zim is a bonehead, 4"

will be lucky to win off him. The
"Old Master" should have won every
start against Boston. Marquard is a
greatly improved pitcher over 1911
and has had the experience necessary
to rank him as one of the greatest
worlds series assets of all time. He
had all the luck against Boston and
turned off two victories. In neither
game was he greatly pressed, yet he
was effective at all times and there
was lacking in his performance the
intense nervousness which marked
his work in 1911. Marquard. filled with
confidence, is to-day at the pinnacle
Of his power. He is big enough and

more ground than where his brogans

claim to distinction lies principally in
hitting ability New York is little in

possesses far greater speed.
The outfeld is a toss-up. Mack
doubtless has a hitting advantage here

THE SCHOOLS OPEN
ON LABOR DAY

The schools of the city. as did most
of those of the county, opened Monday,
Labor Day. The streets of the city.
after the enrolment and registration
had been completed, were thronged
with the children from the city school
district and those from the country.
In many instances the younger students
were accompanied by their parents, and
the local book stores were crowded to
their capacities the entire day, on ac-
count of the change that is being made
this year in the books.
But for the activity of the school
children Labor Day was very quiet in
Hood River. The stores, except the
book stores, were closed the greater
part of the day.
The enrolment at the high school
was larger than that of last year, the
number this year being 1875. However,
the number of the pupils in the grades
has been decreased about 60. The
grade enrolment is now 440.

EVANS MOTORS
AROUND MT. HOOD

The first car ever to travel entirely
around Mount Hood from Portland via
The Dalles and journey to Hood River,
having made the entire trip on its own
power, was the Maxwell owned by N.
G. Evans, who with his driver, B. X.
Bowman, made this trip the latter part
of last week, arriving in Hood River
Tuesday noon. Although the entire
trip over the rough mountain roads
was made without a mishap, Mr..
Evans car was crippled in going from
the Mount Hood Hotel to the garage of
the Columbia Auto & Machine Co. by a
blowout. 1--WE travelled from Portland
up to Government Camp" says Mr..
Evans, going thence to Wapanitia,
Tygh, Sherar's Bridge and The Dalles.
We came from The Dalles to Hood
River in just one hour and fifty min
utes. :"
On Friday night MIR. Evans stopped
at Camp Blossom, he and party of
guides having climbed Mount Hood
that day. 1.-The ascent is very danger
Gus now, said Mr.. Evans Tuesday,
"and in places we crossed snow bridges
over crevasses, the bottoms of which
we could not see. 1t gave us cold
creeps up and down the back. The
guides declare that they will not take
any tourists up the mountain over the
same course again. The one time up
the top of the world is enough for me.
| would rather have the thoughts of
that one trip than to make another
ascent" MIR. Evans is almost 60 years
Of age and feels quite proud of his
mountaineering prowess.
The electric and power operator,
however, thinks that the Portland
who expect to use the old
Barlow trail in making their trip to
the Pendleton Round Up are going to
be badly fooled, if they expect to have
easy shedding. 1t will be all right for
smaller cars, he thinks, but the larger
and longer touring cars will have
trouble in making the short turns,
The road is very narrow in places, too,
the freighters of the region having cut
notches in the giant trees for the hubs
of their wagons. IL think if were a
garage owner" says MIR. Evans, 81
would build temporary machine shop
some where just east of Government
Camp, and would have all the work |
could do in making repairs, when the
Portland autoists start through to PEN
dleton.
Mr.. Evans and his party assisted a
Studebaker car in crossing Clear creek
on an old sheep bridge that they re-
paired.

Aid Society Children Have Outing

eve would just like to stay here in
Hood River and never go back" was
the sentiment expressed by the chill
dren from the Boys and Girls Aid So
ciety of Portland last Thursday. They
came up on the boat and stopped here
while the boat went to The Dalles and
returned. and were loaded into automo-
biles and taken for ride. The ladies'
from no less than Ii organizations had
prepared for them big feast, and it
was interesting Eto hear the many ex-
pressions from the youngsters as they
relished their food
Afterwards an automobile trip was
enjoyed through the valley and the
boys and girls made the air ring with
their yells and songs. for there were
II of them, accompanied by four at

MAINTENANCE OE STREETS

II is one of the well proven maxims
of expert road builders that the greater
the expense in perfecting highway,
the greater the expense of mainte-
nance. At least if not expensive the
maintenance must be followed up
faithfully and carefully, else the orig
inal work and expenditure will lose the
greater portion of its benefit and
value. Hood River has gone to no
small expense this year in paving its
business district and in laying hard
surfaced oilbound macadam on its resi-
dence streets. Even now while the
maeadam is not yet completed and just
after the contractors have finished the
laying of the Hassam, preparations
should be made for the maintenance of
the improvements. 1t is said by ex-
perts that dust and grit should be kept
washed off the Hassam. else it will
soon wear away, the surface being cut
by the tires Of vehicles rolling over the
grit like that Of an emery stone.
Many citizens of the city are making
strong remonstrances against the re-
Gently laid olbound macadam on Cas-
cade avenue and State street. 1t is
alleged in their remonstrance that the
streets are disintegrating in places.
An inspection of portions of the high
ways bears witness to their remon-
STRANGE. Every effort should be made
to have the macadam laid properly in
the first place and the work Of main
tenance and its cost would be reduced
to a minimum.

MARKET MEN PLEAS
ED WITH PROSPECTS

Wilmer Sieg, sales manager of the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors, says
that he management of the Distribu-
tors are feeling good over the sale of
the fruit to Mr.. Steinhardt. 1--WE feel
good he said, because we realize
that the returns we are going to get
will make the growers feel good" Mr..
Steinhardt expressed to Mr.. Sieg his
confidence in making purchases from
an organization such as the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors. He de-
clared that he could buy the apples and
feel safe from having his sales UNDER
mined by having dumped in the market
a large quantity of fruit at cut prices.
"Our conditions are all good and
healthy, . says Mr.. Sieg," except for
the fact that we are in a district
where there is no concentrated effort
had there is great variety of prices
being made.
Quotations causing most trouble
are coming from those growers in the
Wenatchee and Yakima districts not
affiliated with any organizations.
There is another factor that may ac-
count for the cutting in prices and that
is.that those growers not with the Dis
tributors have found the season rather
hard and they have found that some
fruit sold lower now will bring them
in ready money. However, they lack
the wisdonS.of realizing that such ac-
tions may create small prices through
out the year.
'"The buyers mind will be accentu-
ated by the conditions as they develop
in the northwestern districts and if we
have to pass through chaotic and in
different prices we may look for low
prices throughout the season.
"The present situation more than
ever demonstrates the necessity of a
get together movement not with the
view of forcing impossible prices but
for the purpose of adopting the philos-
ophy of that old adage that two heads
work together better than one.
''Never was the situation better with
fruit of the east poor in quality and
moderate in quantity. New Workers
are selling their barrel product from So
to So. so per barrel and the competition
of the northwest is made by the actions
of growers of the different districts.
North Yakima and Wenatchee seem to
be further apart than any of the dis
tricts,
