PORTLAND BOARD MAY
RESTORE RESERVE

That the Portland water board is
willing to make all efforts within
reason to aid Hood River in securing
changes in the boundaries of the Bull
Rung reserve. is the assertion of local
citizens who have recently been instru-
mental in having survey made by X.
A. McClanathan for the purpose of
having portion of the Bull Run ere
serve, on the Hood River watershed
around Lost Lake, restored to the ma
tional reserve. The work of effecting
this change was recently undertaken
by Judge Derby and W. l.. Clark. N.
G. Evans, who now resides in Portland,
also placed the facts before the Port
land board, the members of which, as
soon as they understood the situation,
evidenced a willingness to cooperate
with the local men.
Judge Derby and Mr.. Clark returned
last week from Today camping and
fishing trip in the region on the head
waters of the West Fork. f. A. Tay-
lor. for the Portland water board, Wis.
tied the district while they we're there
and checked up on the survey of Mr..
McClanathan. At the present time
the southwest bank of Lost Lake is in
cluded in the Bull Run reserve. The
proposed change will free this and will
give the local people the privilege of
using the government trail from Cedar
Springs as far as the point where it
crosses Clear Fork of the West Fork:

HOOD RIVER CIDER
NOW IN THE MOVIES

Hood River apple cider is now being
advertised in the film drama and IL is
very probable that the movie manufac.
turers are boosting this refreshing
beverage without knowing il. II may
be that the publication of this story
will cause the picture show folks over
the country to flood c. J. Calkins, the
cider man, with bills for the advertis-
ing which is appearing free in many
theatres which have "NO FREE LIST"
in letters six inches high over their
entrances.
James +. Montgomery. who spent a
quiet evening in Aberdeen, Wash, on
Gray's harbor last week. sought the
thrill of film drama. Just after the
horse thieves had made away with a
drove of bronchos and were being
chased by the daring heroine over the
hills and far away, the movie sheriff,
wearing a nine inch star, and musta-
chios recently thrown into the discard
by Neil Evans, staggered up to the
big door of the village blacksmith shop
to tack up a sign offering a reward for
the rustlers. While the sheriff pounds
his fingers the audience can read the
only other sign on the shop door, which
says in big letters, "Hood River Apple
Cider.

Upper Valley Organizes

At meeting in Parkdale Saturday
night, according to J. X. Barroll, who
was in the city Monday. about 40 Of
the citizens of the Upper Valley organ
lied the Upper Valley Good Roads club,
electing Chas. Steinhauser chairman
and Mr.. Barroll secretary.
"The idea of the organization, said
Mr.. Barroll, "is to get some action on
one or two trunk lines into the Upper
Valley. 1t is our purpose to go about
the matter Systematically and without
the interjection of any personalities.
The sentiment expressed Saturday
night was that the trunk line should be
built and a bond issue voted for the
purpose. But first we want the county
court to have some competent engineer
make survey and designate the route
most convenient to the most people and
the most economic, and to estimate the
cost of the highway.
Petitions to the county court asking
such action will be circulated by the
following citizens, the Upper Valley
having been divided into seven dis
tricts: Geo. Monroe, Valley Crest; M.
0. Boe, west of Evans creek; J. F.
Thompson. Parkdale; J. R. Barroll,
east of Evans creek; f. c. Miller.

Sunday afternoon as we mounted to

ager Robertson

Although about seven miles away.
in all probability having caught from
the forest fire that was burning furi-
ously in the mountains southwest of
this city. the mill of the Sanley-Smith
Lumber Co. at Green Point was de-
strOyed by FIRE last Thursday night.
The mill plant. blacksmith shop and
oil house were burned to the ground.
The plant was valued at Sll6,000 and
insurance of $62, 500 was carried. The
fire was reported to Manager ]. E.
Robertson by A. A. Lausman and ten
minutes before midnight be fastened
to the scene. However, the flames
were beyond control when discovered,
and the crew of 20 men kept at Green
Point to operate a small mill about a
half mile north of the big plant we're
kept busy to prevent the fire from
spreading to the surrounding forest.
The fire from all appearances started
on the outside of the main plant, and
it is thought that flying brands from
the distant forest fires are responsible.
We had reports of the forest fire
Thursday, says Mr.. Robertson, from
the forestry officials, who have large
crew Of men engaged in fighting It.
Numerous cinders and embers fell
around our premises. according to re-
ports of the workmen, but most of
them were dead. However, one of the
workmen stated that he saw two
brands alight on the log pond that gave
appearances of having been alive. The
forest fire was evidently started by
hunters.
I'VE have turned many Indians and
others back from the woods. Every
thing was all right until the hunting
season opened and then it was impossi-
BILE for the rangers TO keep control of
the fires. Nothing better for the state
could happen than change Of the
hunting law. not allowing the season
to open until after the fall rains.'
A little over year ago the mill of
the Oregon Lumber Co. at Dee was de.
stroyed. causing a loss of approxi-
mately $l00, 900. on which there was no
insurance.
Although no definite plans have been
made, Manager Robertson says the big
Green Point plant will be reconstructed.
While the latter part of last week the
forest fires were endangering much of
the timber of the Stanley Smith Co..
fighters were rushed from this city aud
aided the government in subduing the
flames, which at times were spread
rapidly by high winds. Rains have
fallen on some of the higher attitudes
and the woods are not so dry as they
have been.
C. c. Hon, ranger of the Herman
creek district, where the bad fire of
last week started, says that the fire
spread with great rapidity and campers
in the section barely escaped with their
lives.
