good record, especially when one COM

THE FAIR EXHIBITS
WILL BE UNIQUE

The Hood River exhibits at the
worlds fair at San Francisco will be
unique and attractive. An artist In
Portland is now engaged in creating
the huge apple that will stand in q
prominent place in the horticultural
palace. The apple will stand out above
other exhibits and will most certainly
attract attention. The Oregon Com
mission is assisting with the work Of
getting together material and plans for
placing the exhibits. c. N. Ravlin,
secretary of the Commercial club, spent
the first of the week in Portland inter-
viewing members of the commission
and looking at the work being done on
the apple.
In the huge apple will be shown a
relief picture map OF the Hood River
valley. The map will be taken from a
large photograph taken on the White
Salmon side of the Columbia. Ii will
be an actual miniature representation
of the valley, as one would see the
orchards of the community from the
high bluffs Of the north bank of the
Columbia.
Hood River will also be represented
| in the Oregon building. A space 6x2l
feet has been provided. 1t is intended
to show the prospective homeseeker
that Hood River is not only land of
apples, but that limited diversified
farming can be conducted, and products
of diversified farming will be shown.
But the most striking feature OF this
latter display will be an enlargement
of panorama photograph of the valley
taken from Van Horn Butte. A pho.
tographer from the Eaton studio, of
Salem. spent two days on the butte
last year. securing the wonderful pic
ture. The enlargement will be 2l feet
long and 40 inches high, all in colors.
George Hyland, of the Oregon fair
commission, declares that it will be the
most wonderful enlargement ever
made.

HOOD RIVER VOTERS
WILL STUDY MEASURES

At a meeting held Tuesday evening
number of. the business men. OF the
city and valley decided to hold series
of meetings for the purpose Of studying
the proposed measures and amendments
that will be presented to the voters in
November by initiative bills. A great
many of the local voters do not fully
understand the measures. and it is con-
sidered dangerous policy to vote for
the bills when in ignorance. The pro-
posed $1,000 exemption measure and
the eight hour law are considered as
especially dangerous to the welfare of
Oregon and campaign will be waged
against these and other bills.
The first meeting of city and valley
business and professional men will be
held at the Commercial cl ub rooms to-
night.

RUFUS HOLMAN Is
LOOP ROAD BOOSTER

Rufus G. Holman, Multnomah county
commissioner, who was here last week
with his wife, is now booster for a
proposed loop highway to proceed up
the Sandy river from Portland, crossing
the Cascade reserve and penetrating
the Valley. Commissioner Holman
rode over the proposed route in the
Lost Lake district on horseback last
week.
Until one has been through this
section one cannot believe that such
beauty and magnifcence exist" said
Mr. Holman. This short piece of
road would make link in the greatest
scenic road ever projected. 1t would
scenery which could not help but de-
light any traveller and would add to the
delights of the Mount Hood road and
the Columbia river highway by making
possible a trip out from Portland
through one variety of scenery and
back through another.
"An easy grade could be found and
the route would take the traveller
through the magnificent forests of one
of the big Oregon reserves. 1t would
take one to point 5000 feet above sea
level where the air is wonderfully brac.
ing and so close TO the snow line that
glaciers and peaks could be easily seen.
II would take people to the Fall Greek
canyon, one of the prettiest spots it has
been my good fortune to see.
81 visited Commissioner Hannum, of
Hood River county. and he is heartily
in sympathy with the proposal. AL
ready steps have been taken to interest
Hood River business men in the propo-
sition and | hope to gain backing in
Portland that the matter may be taken
up at the next legislature. believe il
would add many times to the attract
veness of both other roads.
"WhiIe away ] looked over the work
being done on the Hood River end of
the Columbia highway and from ap-
pearances believe that part of the
great road would be completed by the
first of the year.

GOOD STRIKE is MADE
IN WARRFNS DISTRICT

That Jay Chick, former state mining
inspector. who is being backed by Boise
people, has made a good strike in the
Rescue mine at IS feet above the water
level, is the news brought to Boise by
S. J. Dunlap, who rs just home from
the Warrens mining district, where he
is developing a promising mine. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Click has struck the
old ledge in the mine, states Mr.. Dun
lap, who produced several samples of
ore from the ledge in which free gold
was visible.
To show something of the activity
of the mining industry in the district
Mr. Dunlap stated that several monied
men of the east have been making in
vestigations in the camp and declared
that Mr.. Moore, who has charge OF the
Good Enough property, was offered
$150,O0o for his mine. the Moscow,
which he refused.
Mr. Dunlap declares that a good road
is needed badly into the Warrens dis
trict and states that if one was con-
nected up with some of the roads lead
ing into this territory, Boise would be
getting all the business for that sec
ton and it would mean thousands of
dollars annually to the merchants here
At present, he states, the trip into the
a light rig, to say nothing of freight
ing and consequently most of the sup
plies are furnished from the north.

hIN|DOkA COUNTY
WILL Vote ON BONDS
fPioneer-Record Rupertl

The board of county commissioners
have named Tuesday, Sept. Is as the
date of the bond election, by which 1t
is proposed to bond the entire county
in the sum of $4,000, thus making a
highway district of the county, and
placing it in shape to get hold of some
money for roads 1t could not otherwise
touch. Should these bonds carry there
is opportunity to get some of the state
highways now being built to come
through which they pass paying one
half the cost, and they are then state
property and maintained at the states
expense. ~
None of the counties which have not
voted bonds and become highway dis
tricts can secure these highways, be-
cause they have no means of meeting
their half of the expense. In this man
ner it is expected the bonds to be
voted by Minidoka county will be suf-
ficient to put practically every road In
the county in first class condition and
leave enough to erect any bridges
which may prove necessary. The SEN
timent of the people was ascertained
previous to the calling of the election
and 1t IL thought there will be no ques-
ton of the bonds carrying. as the ma
jority have expressed themselves very
favorably.
