0.-W. R. IN. APPEALS
TO CIRCUIT COURT

The O-.W. r. & N. Co. has appealed
from the decision of the county court
here in its approval of the report of the
viewers on the Portland Hood River
automobile road, the petition for which
is known as that of A. o. Adams and
others, the company asking, instead OF
81 damages granted, the sum of $2O,-
coo. However, County Clerk Hanson
stated yesterday morning that the rail
way had supplied the local officials
with an agreement similar to that
signed by the Multnomah county court,
and that it was thought an agreement
would be reached between Hood River
county and the railway company.
The Multnomah county agreement,
which has been approved by the dist
rict attorney. permits the county to
construct the new road on the railroad
right of way at various points along
the river, covering about three miles
in all. On the other hand, the county
has agreed to protect the railroad
tracks from slides by building concrete
retaining walls where necessary and to
complete the road within three years.
1t is stated that the concessions made
by the railroad will save the county
many thousands of dollars in the ex-
pense of grading and tunneling. The
county commissioners already have
prepared to establish prison camps al
two points along the line of the road tC
utilize convict labor in the construc
tion of the highway.

Moses married one Of Jethro's daugh-

time understand the Lords proN-

lesson OF meekness, of full submission
to the Divine will. When the lesson
had been learned, Gods time had come

apples thar last year. Those districts
where the barnyard fruit not only sup
pljed the home consumption but ena-

ted all winter, will barely have enough

year. A., O..
The local crop, according to Mr. Sieg,
will be about 900, 900 boxes, the output
of the past year However, the quallty
of this years fruit, because OF the
large acreage of young trees that IS
coming into bearing will be far better
than last year. when so many oil tne
old orchards bore heavily, yielding on
size fruit, that did not draw top
price in the market. Mr.. Sieg says
that his inspectors report that growers
are'learning better that good thinning
is necessary for the best grades OF
commercial apples, and the thinning
this season is heavier than usual.
The growers who shipped through
the Union will receive their checks
this week. about 1856, 600, the balance
due them on the apple crop.
Mr.. Sieg declares that the growers
should feel glad that the condition
which has confronted orchafdists this
year came as soon as it did. III the
crisis had come in 1915, when the crop
OUTPUT had been doubled. the disaster
would have been doubled, he says.
"As il is, new methods of marketing
are going to be taken hold Of by grow
ers, who are also going to see the need
of producing the highest class OF COM

Mr.. Sieg says that the North Pacific
Distributors are receiving letters from
all parts of the eountry;from growers,
asking advice as to proceeding on SINH

ture have come from Roswell. New

Colorado fruit sections. The Canadian
growers have already organized cen

British Columbia, and the institution
will be under the supervision OF the

WHITE SALMON.

If the weather is favorable there
will be large crowd here on the 4th
and 9th, and every effort is being made
to care for visitors and see that they
have an enjoyable time.
Miss Ellie Stromberg arrived from
Minneapolis last Friday for an extend
ed visit with MIR. and Mrs. Empenger.
Miss Stromberg is teacher of music
and has come west. for rest among
the mountains.
While there is an ordinance prohibit
ing the shooting Of fire crackers inside
the town limits, this ruling will be
suspended on the 4th and 9th to the
extent that the kids will be allowed to
shoot their crackers on the lot back of
the gravel pit near the Washington
hotel. This order was issued TO Mar
shal Groshong by the council this week.
The public hitching racks being
erected by the city on the Mount
Adams Lumber Go. lots at the rear of
the North Bank laundry, will be com
pleted in time for use on the Fourth of
July. 1t is necessary to do some blast
ing or the work would be finished
sooner. The erection of the racks sup
plies one of the public conveniences
needed here for some time, two more
being the watering trough and public
fountain installed last week. Things
such as these do the public a great deal
of good and are very much appreciated.
At a meeting of the board. of direc-
tors of the Commercial club held Tues
day afternoon, A. r. Hayes was elect

Mr.. Rockers are good. conservative
business men and will prove excellent
officers for the club.
William Olsen, of Husum, who mar.
ried a couple of that place on June
and certified the return as notary
public. admits that he took snap judg.
ment in the matter and explains his
action by saying that he thought the
fact that he was elected justice of the
peace by the people of Husum precinct
last fall, together with the fact that
he previously sheld the office, gave hin
the power to marry the couple. II,
used bis authority as notary public il

that he has not yet filed a bond an,
