LOCAL ROADS

This is a topic on which the Glacier
touched last week The COlumbis
highway bond issue has now been over
whelmingly voted, but what are we
going to do for cur local roads? Judg
ing from the result Of the bonding
election, the opportunity offered by
the Benson guarantee and the offer Of
state aid was realized. Bu great
percentage Of those voting for the Co
lumbia highway have felt that, unless
something is done for the roads pene-
trating the valley districts, a great
hardship will be worked. The condi,
tion of local roads turned many votes
against the bond issue.
If the people Of the valley want a
bond issue for the improvement Of the
local roads we believe that the city
residents will join them and make the
vote at such an election as decisive as
was that at the Columbia bond eIec-
tion.
But before any money is voted for
roads, some provision should be made
for its proper expenditure. AS we
stated last week, we look forward with
optimism to a new era for road build
ing in Hood River county, but we think
the work should be conducted in sys-
tematic manner. 1t is easy to criticise,
but we feel that we express the opin
ion Of almost all Hood River people
when we say that the road taxes. since
Hood River county was established,
have been largely wasted. II there is
any remedy let US find it. We haven't
permanent road, and yet the sum of
something like $780, 600 has been spent
in the last five years In road construc-
tion. II Hood River county had half
million dollars at its disposal at the
present time, it could not be spent very
benefcially, for we have no systematic
road system mapped out.
The new era, one of better road
building. is facing US. Let all Hood
River citizens, city and country resi-
dent alike, get behind the movement to
secure a sytematic mapping of valley
road systems. We can then proceed
along lines that will result in good to
all concerned.

Trout Lake Has Large Hay Crop

That the Trout Lake valley is har-
vesting one of the largest crops of hay
in the history of that section was the
information brought to town last week
by John Peterson. one of the best
known ranchers of Trout Lake. The
crop has even surprised old residents.
MIR. Peterson, who is president of the
Trout Lake Dairy Association. had
just hauled to the depot one and half
tons of the famous Trout Lake butter,
the shipment being one weeks output.
MIR. Peterson is one of the progressive
dairymen of the valley, having a fine
herd of Holstein cows. He will again
increase the herd this fall when he will
attend the Portland stock show to buy
more Holsteins White Salmon Enter

Shower for Bride

Miss Matte Cochran was very pleas
antly surprised Friday evening at a
shower given at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Mohr, on the East Side.
The evening was very pleasantly spent
on the lawn, which was very prettily
decorated with japanese lanterns. One
of the chief eatures of the evening was
the mock marriage. when Miss Laura
Dethman became the bride of Miss
Marie Mohr.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
a striped gingham dress. She wore a
tulle veil which was caught with or
ange blossoms. Miss Mohr's attire was
very appropriate for the occasion.
The bridal party entered to the
strains of the Lohengrin wedding
march, played by Miss Jessie Dethman.
Miss Rose Hass acted a minister and
united the happy couple IN marriage.
The hOstesses, Mrs. Alf MOhr, Miss
Laura Dethman and Mrs. John johnson
served a delicious lunch later III the
evening.
Miss Cochran was presented with a
beautiful silver tea set by the party.

Alleged Crazy Man Put TO Work

Tuesday morning City Marshal Car
son received a message from Wyeti
that a crazy man had been seen in the
that vicinity the night before. Reports
Of like nature followed from points
between here and Wyeth. Mr.. Carson,
who had heard that the man had
reached Ruthton, tried to reach that
place by phone. Not being able to get
into communication with anyone there,
he started on foot, hoping to intercept
the man causing the alarm. He met
him but a short distance from the city,
knowing him from the descriptions
that he had been given.
The fellow was foreigner and
seemed to be suffering more from hun
ger than any alteration of the mind.
He became quite pert after meal.
consisting Of much beef stew. soup and
bread.
"But | have never seen a more fraz-
zled bit of humanity" says Officer
Carson. THE mans shoes were all
but worn out. His clothes had been
burned, probably by fires at which he
endeavored to warm himself at night.
The bushes had torn his clothing"
The man was put to work Tuesday at
the Cass rock crusher west of the city.

THE COLUMBIA HIGHWAY

The result of last weeks bond cleo
tion shows concluslvely sentiment of
the people of the valley. 1t was felt
that the investment Of S75, 600 would
be good one. The road between here
and Portland will soon be opened and
the dream of years will be realized.
The Hood River valley, one Of the best
known spots in the Pacific northwest,
will be made accessible to the motorist.
That the road up the Columbia
through Hood River county has been
Of absorbing interest in Portland was
shown by the publicity given the bond
campaign by the Portland press. Moth
ing has ever caused the eyes of Port
land to so turn to Hood River. Nor
will interest wane. Portland wants the
highway just as much as Hood River
40 do the eastern and central portions
of the state. 1t will form a connect.
ing link between east and west and
north and south, and as such will natur-
ally become great state and interna-
tioual highway.
5. Benson. by his magnanimous guar
antee and his ceaseess efforts, has
made the highway possible at the pres
ent time. MIR. Benson should have the
thanks not only of Hood River, valley,
but the state at large His first activ-
ity in behalf of the Columbia highway
was evidenced in 1912, when he ex-
pended the sum of almost 1000 on
construction work around Shell Rock
mountain Although the work done
there will be useless, since it will not
be on the new survey, the expen-
diture was not in vain. 1t created
an interest IN the route that has had
an effect in bringing about the present
climax.
Since Hood River county was estab-
lished few local men have been look
ing forward to the opening of the road.
Quietly and unknown to most of the
residents of the valley, W. l.. Clark
has been one of the most untiring
workers for the highway. His efforts.
through times of optimism and periods
when the task seemed hopeless, have
continued just the same.
While the opposition to the bonds was
not as pronounced as almost every one
had predicted. there were a number of
citizens sincerely opposed to the issue
We are unable to comprehend the stu
alton from their viewpoint, yet a fair
and sincere opposition often forms a
balance wheel or brake that is bene-

We hope that we will be pardoned if
we assume for the moment the attitude
of physician prescribing for a pa
tient, even though the patient may be
an unwilling one. If Mr.. Mason de-
sires to display public spiritedness
and to help the Hood River valley, we
advise, yes even urge. that he remain
for an indentiite time as quiet as lit
tie church mouse. We believe he, him
self, and all in the Hood River valley
concerned would be benefited. In an.
other column of this weeks Glacier we
publish communication from him. In
all seriousness, Mr.. Mason, you will
gain the esteem of the community If
you will just rest on your past laurels.
We are really provoking the public by
giving notice TO your communication.
