Therefore, we the undersigned, take
this means of giving our endorsement
to the candidacy of J. L. Kelly for
joint representative of Hood River and
Wasco counties, and in support of this
endorsement, we call the attention of
the voters to the following very few
and brief facts. but which we think
speak very clearly for themselves:
First, MIR. Kelly has been resident
of this legislative district for 80 years
and during that time has been closely
identified with the business life of
Wasco and Hood River counties, as we'll
as the state of Oregon in general. He
has been successful in his own private
affairs, which offers the best indication
that he would be useful public ser.
want.
Second, for three consecutive terms
he was elected mayor of Dalles City,
without any opposition whatsoever,
there being at no time anyone who de-
sired to prevent his election. During
his administration the present city hall
was built with no increase of taxation.
Previous to his election as mayor he
had served four years as city council
man of The Dalles, during all of which
time he was chairman of the finance
committee, and his record there shows
that he was economical always, watch
ful of the city's money. but not un-
mindful of the city's progress. During
his administration, in addition to the
building of the city hail., large amount
of street improveent was done, and
handled in such a manner that no in
| crease of taxes was necessary. In ad-
dition to the above, the Carnegie Ii
brary was first instituted under Mr..
kelly's administration. In all of the
above positions MIR. Kelly devoted his
time to the city's interests without any
remuneration whatsoever.
Whatever property Mr.. Kelly may
have accumulated is in this legislative
district, and he has retained and keeps
| his interests here and has not sought
| to build up any other community at
the expense of his own. What would
be for the benefit of his neighbors he
would naturally be interested in him
self.
We fully believe that the great need
at the present time is the election to
the legislature of competent, sound
minded men, with no desire to indulge
in any freak legislation.
In view of our knowledge of MIR.
Kelly's character and ability, we earn
estly endorse his candidacy and sim
cerely hope that the voters at large
will view it in the same light as we do,

FIREMEN'S BENEFIT
TODAY AND TOMORROW

AT the Gem theatre today and tomor-
row will be given five reel picture
drama, Through Fire to Fortune, or
the Sunken Village" the proceeds to
60 to the Volunteer fire department.
The picture is one of the best to he
had, and grips the interest of the spec
tator from the beginning. The play
closes amid a climatic burst of flame,
while the hero takes to his bosom the
girl for whom he has been battling
against odds for success.
The firemen of the city, by the in
stallation of up to date apparatus TO
protect the homes and places of bust
ness of local people, have depleted their
treasury and are in debt. Formerly
funds have been raised by benefit
dances. The presentation of a picture
show was planned by the association,
it being thought that this would meet
with the approval of many who do not
care for dancing.
The fire lads have been busy selling
tickets and the Gem will no doubt be
crowded at all performances today and
tomorrow

Stranahan Explains Salary Bill Action

Hood River, Ore. May 10, 1914.
Editor of the Glacier: | desire to
make statement to the voters of
Hood River county as to my action in
introducing the Hood River county
salary bill at the last term of the legis-
lature. While consider this a Just
bill, the officers of this county at the
present time receiving smaller salaries
than in most any other county, | did
not personally favor the introduction
of the bill in 1918. However, was a
member of the legislature to represent
the people, and on receipt of petition
signed by between so and 100 repre-
sentative citizens of the county, | in
troduced the salary bill. | never re-
ceived the sign of a remonstrance
against the bill, except one card.
| felt at the time that it wOul have
been better to have allowed the matter
to be passed up, on account of the tenn
porary financial stringency in the
county, hut my actions were governed
by the desires Of my constituents.
Very respectfully,

next week, May q and %, at the man.
ual training rooms at the high school.
On the first day of the exhibit the girls
of the manual training classes will
serve light refreshments as a side issue
in the library. All people and property
holders of the district are invited to
attend and inspect the work of the
students.
The track team which went to the
inter- scholastic meet at Eugene didn't
get any nearer to a point than fourth
and sixth place. Jones took fourth
place in the high jump and Noble took
sixth place in the half mile, where
there were IL entrants. Neither Har-
ris nor Mcclure got in the finals. 1t is
the opinion of many of the students
that Dethman and Stanton should have
gone in place of the latter two athletes.
Blagg and Shoemaker, both of last
years graduating class, participated in
the u. of 90. A. c. track meet.
Blagg took third place in the high jump
and Shoey, who was running the mile,
failed to take place in the freshmen
meets of the two institutions the week
before. Blagg took first place in the
high jump and Shoemaker second place
in the mile. Shoemaker is also in on
the tennis, in which he was champ of
the local school last year.
The last literary meeting of the year
will be held tonight at the high school.
1t was found necessary to hold another
meeting in order that all the juniors
and seniors might make their two ap-
pearances.
The Stevenson high school baseball
team will play the local high here to-
morrow afternoon at Columbia Park.
Prof. Critics now has three pitchers 60
ing good and should be able to put on
good pitching exhibition. Bill Hall
is practicing with the local boys and
showing them few of the fine points
of the game. Their main trouble is in
the fielding as they get nervous and
drop the ball. If this can only be
! worked out of them they will turn into
base ball team yet Dethman will
start on the mound for the locals with
Porter behind the bat.
G. r. McCalley was at the high
school one day last week, giving the
students an exhibition of his skill in
elocution and on the violin.
The first copies of the high school
annual, The Mascot, will be put on
sale at the literary meeting tonight.
These will be sold after the debate.
The price of the Mascot this year is 25

tions for the other classes will come
off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week.
The boys tennis teams were easily
the victors over the White Salmon

Salmon last Friday. The five set plan
was used. Hershner took the first
three sets in the singles and brought

and Bentley, who were playing the
doubles, got away with three sets,
however, losing one set in doing so.

and Prof N. E. Fertig, manual train
ing teacher in the Hood River schools,
addressed the Frankton Parent-Teacher
Association Friday night. Prof. Bran
don outlined the development and scope
of manual training in the schools. He
pointed out that it includes more than
wood working, but that that is valuable
and is usually the best to start with.
If the boys are to have proper equip
ment for life, he said, they must have
a chance to make an intelligent choice
of their life work. and this cannot be
had without an opportunity to learn
something of the industrial arts. Ev-
cry school with an adequate number of
students should offer this work. He
urged installing as great variety of
work as possible, both for the boys and
for the girls.
MIR. Fertig spoke especially of the
necessity of offering vocational work of
this nature for the children who are
not naturally adapted for profession.
If they are to be kept in school at all,
they must be taught something that
they like. The reason why three times
as many girls as boys graduate, he
said, is because the boys are not get
ting the work that they want. lie es-
pecially urged installing permanent
equipment if the courses were intro
duCed at Frankton. Cheap equipment
and poor teachers are little, If any,
better than none at all, he said. A
separate building should be put up of
a permanent nature. and equipped with
well made benches and complete sets
of the best tools made. 'HOw can you
expect boy to use tolls that an eXper-
fenced mechanic can't use?" he said,
speaking of the so called manual
training tools" sold for schools.
Miss Hazel Hollenbeck spoke on do
nestle science, outlining briefly the
work that should be done in that de-
partment. She also read from tele-
gram from the head of the department
of household science at O. A. c., an
estimate of the cost of equipping de.
partment adequate for the school OF
| about $500, for stoves, utensils, etc.
Another meeting was called fol
Monday evening, May Is, when the
same subjects are to. be further dis
cussed. County Supt. Thompson was
asked to report at this meeting on the
| legal qualification necessary to vote il
| the election which has been called by
the board for Tuesday, May 10. The
questions to be voted on then are, fol
buying a piano, bonding for a thousand
dollars to build an addition for manua
training and domestic science. and fol
consolidation of high schools with HooC
River, if it is possible legally to vote
on that then.
After transacting other necessary
business and passing a vote of thank:
to the visiting speakers, the meeting
adjourned to the luncheon provided by
the ladies'.

MIR. and Mrs. Sanford Smith have
just returned from an enjoyable trip
through western Oregon. Telling Of
their recent journey Mr.. Smith says:
"On May we left Hood River. We
were met in Portland by our son, G. S.
Smith, with whom we visited for two
days, seeing large portion of the
Rose City while there. On May we
started for lillamook. Arriving in that
beautiful city at five O'Clock in the af-

got livery rig and visited the beach
while the tide was running. We re-
maned and had our lunch. watching the
breakers. The sea lions would come in
to shore, and it was grand sight.
About two o'clock the tide began to
recede. My wife and | tasted some
of the water. My, but it was bad.
"Ihe sight Of that sea running there
was one of the most magnificent sights
we have ever seen. and we cannot real
iZe how anybody can behold such a
spectacle and say in his heart that
there is nc. God.
"On May s, we left for McMinnville.
We passed over some very rough couu.
try and stopped en- route at Hillsboro.
II rained while we were there and we
were not able to see any of the town.
We were met at McMinnville by A,
F. Smith and family. The next day
Frank hitchad up to the hack and We
drove over his handsome farm and out
into the country, looking at the fields
of oats and wheat and the herds of
sheep and cattle.
"McMinnville was the incest city We
saw while away, but when we boarded
the train and started back to HOOD
River, we felt that it as the best place
in all the country. After out trip We
are feeling pretty goCd for people Il

CAMAS PRAIRIE ROAD
SEEMS PROBABLE

The chances for railroad into the
Camas Prairie district of northwestern
Klickitat county seem very probable,
according to b. Il. Duncan, who owns
several tracts of farming land in the
fertile district. For the past two
months f. A. Bennett and f. A. Kid
ron, who own large portion of the
excellent pine and fir timber of the
district, have had surveyors at work
Last week the timbermen filed papers
of Incorporation at Vancouver. Wash,
for a company of 500, 600 capital stock
to be called the Klickitat Northern.
The new road will begin at Wrights,
a station on the Goldendale branch of
the $. Z. a. S. X. r., and head toward
the Camas belt. Mr.. Duncan states
that the ranChers of the Camas neigh
borhood, as well as those of the Trout
Lake district, are jubilant over the
prospects.
The Camas citizens are busy seeding

]. |. Kelly for the Legislature

Realizing the great increase in taxa
tion in the last few years, and feeling
that in some way this vital question
must be brought to more satisfactory
solution than now exists, we as persons
interested in the welfare of this COM
munity and of the state of Oregon. be-
lieve that the first step towards the
reduction of taxation, which has now
become a grevious burden, and the
elimination of all unnecessary diversion
Of public money, would be the election
OF the legislature of men who actually
represent the interests of the taxpayers
and who, by their previous conduct and
experience, have shown that they do
represent the best interests of the tax
payers and are competent to do it in
the future.

The pictures of the 1914 H. R. H. S.
graduates appeared in the Journal last
Sunday. Thirty-four instead of go stu
dents will graduate, as stated by the
Journal. The two left out were Mar
garet Mitchell and Elizabeth Carson.
The seniors have steadily ignored the
latter as she has resided in the junior
room all year and was, up until a
month ago, president of the junior
class. However, when the time comes
for passing out the sheepskins, Miss
Carson will be in on the ground floor.
The former, Miss Mitchell, had enough
credits at Yuletide to graduate, so did
not return to school. but will graduate
with this years class.
The tuition for the Hood River
schools next year will be $50 instead of
the present $50. This is so high as to
be prohibitory for many of the present
students to return and will keep many
away who are desirous of coming next
year. About 80 of the high school stu
dents are from the valley districts.
These 80 students will contribute $500
toward the running expenses of the
high school this year. At next years
rate these students would pay alto
gether 81, 800.
