PROCEEDINGS OF
COUNTY COURT

The resignation of j. b. Castner as
county fruit inspector, heretofore filed,
was duly considered and accepted, and
to become effective July |. 1918.
Now at this time comes G. ID. Thomp-
son, county school superintendent, and
requests that the court order the sum
of S306. 30 be transferred from the gen
eral county fund to the school library
fund. And il appearing to the court
that no levy was made for the purpose
when the levies were made for the
year 1918, for the reason that the frac-
ton of a mill required to raise this
amount would be smaller than could be
practically extended on the roll and 1t
was understood at the time of making
levies that this transfer should be
made whenever deemed necessary by
the school superintendent. II is there
fore ordered that said transfer be
made, and the clerk and treasurer are
hereby instructed to make appropriate
entries of this transfer on the county's
books.
A committee from the Commercial
club, consisting of W. f. King, r. F..
Scott and j. II. fleilbronner. appeared
before the court and asked permission
to place guide boards gratis on the
roads of Hood River county, which
were to contain certain advertising
matter, and also asked permission to
name the roads of the county and place
names at conspicuous places. Permis-
sion is granted by the court to the club
for erecting guide boards and naming
roads, with the provision that before
any such name or names are posted
they shall be submitted to this court
for approval.

In Arizona whole trees are petrthed,
and, In fact, whole forests have been
turned into stone, and some wonderful
specimens are to be found there. The
petrlfed trees are sometimes cut up
and converted into various articles OF

Petrified moss is found In many
places. 1t Is very beautiful. Petrihed

BRAVERY IN BATTLE.

And the Terrors of War, Modern and

Much is written of the terrors OF
modern war. Little is written of the
terrors of the wars of old Yet 1t is
doubtful If war today makes greater
demands on human courage than war
in the time of Grant. of Washington.
Of Turenne, of Caesar, of Alexander.
Consider a standup infantry fight in
the days of the Revolution After the
preliminary cannonade and long dis
lance musketry practice the two regi'
ments marched toward each other in
close ranks. At given distance, fire.
quently at thirty yards, there was a
halt, smashing volley and then a
bayonet charge through the smoke.
Bullets those days were large and of
soft lead. and the man who was hit
went down. Over him tramped his
comrades or the enemy, shooting and
stabbing.
That was the type of infantry battles
age needed to make a good soldier un-
der such circumstances is to fly In the
face of common sense. .
Modern war requires different type
of courage from that needed OF old
The old touch of elbows Is lacking
The old feeling of companionship Is
gone The modern soldier must be
more alert, better taught, keener wit
ted, than the olden soldier of equa
! value. But it does not follow that the
modern soldier is the braver man.

ROSES

Natural conditions having aided
them. the residents of Hood River VINO
have planted roses on their lawns and
in their gardens have made their homes
as beautiful as any in the world. FOR
many years Hood River roses have
been making names for themselves be-
cause of their exquisite coloring ana
size and brilliancy. The "Marechal
Neil" as grown here, is indeed

come a profusion of the aristocrats oil

Those who have visited us from Port
land this spring. declare that Hood
River roses excel those of the original
Rose City. OF course. we haven't SO
many plants. nor have we the citizens
who can expend vast sums in the cui
tivation of rose gardens, but proper
tionately the local gardens will com
mare favorably with any in the whole
world.
AS something in the climate here
seems to affect the fruit, the straw
berries, cherries and apples, and give
them stable keeping quality so doe
it instiI itself into roses. and thl
spring local people have sent boquet
of flowers from here all the way acros

sPLENDORS OF SPACE.
Matchless esstay Of the Milky Way ss
Seen In a Telescope.


The Milky way, or galaxy, is an ap-
parent ring extending entirely around
the universe Of stars visible in the
largest telescope. 1t Is composed OF
suns In literal millions. They are 30
remote that, as seen from the earth,
they appear to be close to each other,
while really they are separated by
millions and billions of miles. To the
eye the belt OF soft light looks like
continuous band Of cloth of pearl. but
telescopes have the effect OF bringing
objects nearer This separates the
6lmy cloud into many millions OF gilt
tering but minute points on the black
background OF space. At q distance
forest trees seem to be close together.
but as they are approached they sep
arate and stand alone.

LOTS OF RUSSIAN MOBILES.
Their Blood May Not Be Blue, but They
Have White Bones.

In reference to an amazing prodlgal-
ity of Russian titles Rothay Reynolds
in my Russian Year" says:
I'm Russia all the descendants OF
hereditary nobleman are noble. and all
the descendants of princes, counts and
barons enjoy the right to use those
titles; hence there are rich princes and
poor princes princes with distinguish
ed manners and princes with no man.
ners. elegant princes and princes you
could not possibly be seen walking
down Piccadllly with. princes In pal
aces and princes In garrets, princes
who are desirable parts and princes
who advertise In the newspapers for
wives with money.
"a glance at the St Petersburg di-
rectory and rough calculation show
that there are some 200 men. women
and children In the capital alone VINO
all belong to the same princely family
and bear the same name aud exalted
title.
"The frst prince | met in St. Peters
burg was the head waiter Of the Hotel
de France. He had an ineontestible
right to the title and was an excellent
servant His case. however, ought not
to be cited as an instance of the decay
of the Russian nobility, for be was
Tartar from part OF the Caucasus,
where princes were so abundant that
when Russia acquired 1t only those
who could produce a certain number or
sheep were granted the legal right to
preserve the title. Many borrowed
sheep for the purpose. and princes are
so common at the present day that
beggar boys In Tifiis give the title to
each other.
RUSSIAN mobiles do not have blue
blood; they have white bones. Com
mon people have black bones In spite
of the leveling of society by the De
basement of the nobility great impor
tance is attached to the possession Of
the white bones"
