THE COLUMBIA HIGHWAY

The following is a simple statement
of the expenses and advantages Of the
Columbia river highway:
Suppose an individuals taxes, indie
pendent of special assessment, to be
$50. This amount is levied on a SO. 500
valuation, which is about 10 per cent
of the real valuation. II the bond is
sue carries, the increase 10 this indi-
vdual during the first year will be al
cents on the thousand or about 81. so
special tax. As $50 comes very nearly
being the levy Of the average taxpayer
of Hood River county, the whole mat
ter plainly stated is: For the privi-
lege Of the Columbia river highway
each taxpaying citizen will pay for
himself and family the sum Of about
81 80 for the first 10 years. On the
eleventh year, when the principal comes
due, he will pay S238 and then con-
stantly decreasing amount each year
until the whole is paid off.
A view of the possible advantages of
the road against its cost surely indl-
Gates that it is an investment that can
be entered into without fear.
What are the roads advantages?
When it is opened Hood River will no
longer be isolated. We must not mere
ly think of the ready money that will
be spent by the constantly passing
stream of automobilists. Many of
these will be prospective homeseekers.
They will be ready to purchase homes
here. We need the people and we need
the new funds that they will bring for
further development and maintenance
of the scenic community.
We must think of the scores of Port
land people who have Investment here.
With Hood River isolated they are
pOrne to let their interest in the com
munity grow lax. With the road opened
they will become enthusiastic, and con-
duct developments themselves and lead
others to follow suit. These are not
mere statements of surmise, but the
gist of actual conversations with Port
land residents who own Hood River
property.
The route up the Columbia and
through the Hood River valley will
become the direct route to Mount
Hood At present Portland automo-
biles travel up to Government Camp.
1t is not favorable route as compared
to the way proposed, This means that
good road will be opened to the Up
per Valley.
How many Hood River men buy as
many as Sl.50 worth of cigars in a
week? The expense, when considered
from the amount that each individual
will pay, is trivial. The benefits and
advantages that will accrue are vast

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrhl that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

April, according to a report issued by
the Fort Worth Stockyards Company.
Compared with the receipts for the
same month Of 1913 this is decrease
of little more than 1000 head, which
is attributed principally to the heavy
rains in the various Sections of the
State and crippled transportation ia.
cilities caused by these precipitations.
During the four months Of this year
livestock receipts on the local yards
have totaled 7S5.576 head, compared
with 644,972 head for the same period
of last year, which is an increase Of
240,604 head of livestock. Sheep and
goats were the predominating class
of livestock unloaded on the market
during April, and 92.675 head of these
animals were received here during
that time. Cattle took second place
with 80,949 head, and hogs came third
with 53,45S head. According to the
report there were 1910 head of calves
received here during last month, and
1858 head of horses and mules. Sheep,
goats and hogs were the only classes
of livestock which showed an increase
over the April, 1918. figures.
