Jesse Thomas failed to show up at
the ball park last Sunday and Bill
Baker was run in at short. Bill ac-
cepted several chances and only tangled
up one to mar a perect fielding record.
Shay bunted twice yesterday and beat
out both. He hit safely on his third
time at bat and connected with the bail
on his fourth trip to the plate, but was
put out at first. He also did five in
fielding, picking off two nice flies in
left field, one of which he had TO come
away in on. Ii was such pretty catch
that the bleacher crowd applaudeG.
Bill Dunn, the veteran coach, was on
the bench with the local team last Sun
day. Although Bill doesn't draw down
any stipend for his efforts with the
boys and is not practicing with them
very much this season, he has taught
them enough the past few seasons to
suffice for awhile.
Clarence Hale, playing third for o.
A. A. is one of the best players on
their team. Although Hale is only l6
years old, he outclassed several of the
0. A. A. players. He hit safely on his
HlsL bWO tllllSS up anu eCOlSu uutu
times.
The Odell A. A. team "would be
champs" were defeated by the local
Team last Sunday by the score of l2-5
the local slasbters made their II runs
off of seven hits all together. Hazett
and Slutz were on umpire duty and the
latter showed that his knowledge of
base ball had diminished with his alb
sence from the game. The locals made
seven runs in the second inning before
Davis, who had been put in when Leach
was jerked, could work out of the hole
and in the fourth inning three more
runs were added The o. A. A, team
crossed over with four runs in the
third inning and annexed their last in
the seventh. when Hale scored from
third after Shay had caught a fly.
The lineup according to position was
for the locals, Hart, Hall. Gill, Tate,
Gessling, Baker, Carson, Moore and
Shay. For o. A. A., Leach and N.
Davis, McCutcheon. A. Davis, Sexton,
Hale. Olson. W. Sheppard, Stansbury
and Dethman.
Leach, who is seven foot-pus in
height, started out pitching to his own
level and was jerked in the second in

COLUMBIA ROAD Dis
CUSSED AT MEETING

Local interest in the Columbia river
highway was increased here yesterday
,fternOOn at a conference at the Com
nercial club following luncheon given
IN honor of the following visitors, who
motored to the city after an inspection
of highway Improvements in Wasco
county: S. Benson, A. S. Benson and
Major II. l.. Bowlby, state highway
engineer, of Portland, and Judge F. c.
Cunning, Commissioners Rooper and
Claussen, l.. B. Fox, c. l.. Darneille
and B. &. Phetteplace, of The Dalles.
J. o. Hannum and Ed Hawkes., local
county commissioners. represented the
Hood River county court, Judge Stan
ton being i'll with poison oak. More
than score of local business men and
orchardists were present. Mr.. Benson,
who donated the sum of $4,000 for
Improvement around Shell Rock noun
tain, his son and MIR. Bowlby came to
the city for the purpose of ascertaining
the opinion Of local men on the posi-
6ility of securing bond issue for the
purpose of opening lncompleted stretch
es of the portion of the Columbia river
highway in this county.
While several of the speakers voiced
sentiment opposed to expenditure of
money on the Columbia highway until
local roads had been improved, the con-
sensus of opinion was that the county,
as business proposition, could make
no better investment than that of
spending $40, 900, the estimated cost of
completing a through route to the
Multnomah county line. AS was shown
by number of the speakers, the Pa
cific coast will be flooded with visitors
to the Panama exposition who will
travel in their own automobiles next
year.
The Hood River valley is awaiting
the inspection of such visitors, who,
unless the Columbia river highway is
opened, will fail to penetrate the dis
trict. The work proposed to be done
with funds raised from bond issue
will make a completely graded dirt
road on the survey made by Locating
Engineer j. A. Elliott over the breaks
that at present exist between Viento
and Wyeth and from Cascade Locks to
the Multnomah line. The road will be
"a feet wide, and all bridges and cul
verts will be built.
Commissioner Hawkes. stated that if
the people expressed themselves as ia
vorable to opening the highway the
court would make every effort to carry
out their plans.
The conference will in all probability
lead to submission to the vote of the
people bond issue and the sentiment
prevails that the voters of the com
munity, fully understanding the i'm
portance of such movement, will sup
port such an issue.
In addition to the visitors short talks
were made by the following local citi-
zens: J. H. Heilbronner, Wilmer Sieg,
Ed Hawkes., r. o. Blanchar, Truman
Butler, C. W. Hooker, E. W. Sweaney,
R. H. Wallace, L. e. Ireland, J. D.
McCully, N. c. Evans, j. 0. Mark,
Murray Kay and J. d. Thomson. W.

Pile Driver Busy on Dam

A pile driver has begun work driving
the piles on the diversion dam at the
mouth of the Hood river, causing the
stream to flow into the Columbia
through the channel into which the
outtall sewer empties. 1he city coun-
ell recently appropriated the sum of
$500 for the work. The dam will be
extended from work completed last
year just north of the O.-W. r. d n.
bridge across the Hood river to an is
land in the stream north of the O.-W.
r. & n. passenger station.
The work has been prompted by the
State Game and Fish department.
Since the completion of the work last
year the fishing in the lower Hood
river has been made better than in
many years The stream is made to
empty into the Columbia in such a way
that steelhead and salmon come up the
local stream TO spawn.

Berry Boxes Scattered in Runaway

While Japanese boy was at the Ap.
pie Growers Association building last
Saturday loading his spring wagon
with berry boxes, the old gray nag
hitched to the vehicle became fright
ened at the noise of a train :and ran
away up Third street. Berry boxes
were left strewn the full length of the
street. The horse, which was unable
to get very good start on account of
the grade up Third street, turned into
OAK, where it was stopped without the
least damage to the wagon. The Jap
hoy, without any excitement, secured
his horse and rig and driving along the
route of the runaway collected his
boxes.

Growers Fail TO Respond

E. B. Cloud, of the Cloud-Newton
Cannery Co., states that many of the
growers who contracted to take bean
seed for experiments here this season
have not called for their allotment.
"Some of the growers are endeavoring
to withdraw from the contracts, says
MIR. Cloud. "This places US in pre-
dicament. If the experiments are not
tried this year we will have to try next
year. We are using all our efforts to
develop business for the ranchers of
the community as well and for our
selves, and desire their cooperation.
Growers who desire to communicate
with MIR. Cloud will be able to reach
him by telephoning number 35ll.

The most memorable week in the
life of a graduating class is the clos
ing week, for it marks the beginning
of an entirely different order of things
and one which is to be followed out
to the end of a struggle with life's
greater battles. And this period with
Delta's graduating pupils is at hand.
They are to graduate this evening
with appropriate commencement ex-
ercises in the Methodist Episcopal
church and will gain diplomas at con-
clusion of the program.
There has been something doing
most of the time this week, beginning
last Sunday evening with the bacca-
laureate sermon by Rev o. X. May
nard at the NJ. E. church. when the
thirty-five members of this class were
seated in front rows of the church, at
tired in gray gowns and caps, sur
rounded by parents. relatives and
friends. The large auditorium of this
fine church edifice was crowded to
its utmost capacity, in fact, and all
were we'll pleased with the able and
appropriate sermon.
The second event of moment was
the comic opera, The Captain of
Plymouth" in Delta Opera house on
Tuesday evening by the graduating
class. when a large and thoroughly
appreciative audience was at hand to
acknowledge by frequent applause the
pride they felt in the efforts of these
young people who had qualified so
handsomely for the task in hand.
We regret that limited space pre-
vents a detailed resume Of the play,

is the proper time to quit, and it often

AS an instance, some of our orchard

peach trees and pulled them out.
Crop failures and bad markets had
combined to prevent profitable results
for number of years.
This year the local peach crop is
not only promising. but the crop pros

the counsel in the attorney generals

there were certain conflicting sections
in the law which made him person

said that Leddy's fears in that respect
were groundless. and he intimated
