BOND ISSUE
CARRIES 4 TO |
TOTAL VOTE STANDS 1862 TO 42S
Dee Precinct Only One Carried by 0p-
position Demonstration Follows Re-
suits Received al Commercial Club

The Columbia Highway bond issue
yesterday resulted in a landslide for
the supporters of the bond issue, and
JOY reigned in the city and valley last
night, when the returns began to pour
in fom all sections.
The big vote polled for the bond issue
was a surpise. While 1t was thought
that the election would result favora-
bly,, no one expected the proportion to
be so great.
Cascade Locks apparently turned al
most its entire adult population, male
and female, voting $50 for and 8
against.
A surprise was sprung, when the
Pine Grove precinct was heard from,
the vote there being l20 for and SO
against. This being the home OF A.
|. Mason, who has waged a relentless
campaign against the issue. and 9TH
ers who have been strongly opposed to
the bonds, was conceded as an Opposi-
tion precinct.
The result in the Upper Valley was,
too. unexpected. Ii was evident that
many Of the citizens there, Indifferent
to the bonds, failed to visit the polls.
No more enthusiastic crowd was ever
seen than that at the regular meeting
of the Commercial Club last night,
when the returns we're received. The
rooms of the club were thronged with
eXpectant citizens, and loud whoops
echoed through the halls, when the
results were obtained.
Cheers were given for s. Benson,
whose untiring efforts for the bond
issue and whose magnanimous guar
antee pay for all expense over the
SIS. 900 in opening the highway on the
state survey from the Multnonmah
county line to Viento, have been in
strumental in molding the sentiment
that brought about yesterdays re-
suits.
A new era has begun for Hood Riv-
er. The dreams of years are coming
true, and by the end Of next year a
highway, the most scenic in the United
States, will extend from the little APP
pie City to the sea. Hood River will be
on transcontinental route as we'll as a
north and south road. The Valley will
the the goal of hundreds and thousands
of motorists.
When the result became known a ral-
ly was formed. Headed by the Hood
River Cornet Band. a parad was
formed and cheering citizens marched
through the streets of the city, hurrah-
ing for the victory.
The Dee precinct was the only one in
the county voting against the bonds,
going eight for and l6 against. The
| total vote, 1862 for and 42S against,
was as follows by precincts:

WOMEN HELP WITH
ROAD CAMPAIGN

Hood River women have taken an ac-
tive interest in the campaign for the
Columbia River Highway. With the
men of the city very busy at private
business and many out of town, it was
found that it wOud be difficult to ad'
dress and mail bunch of circular let
ters to the voters of the county. The
members of the local Woman's Club
were called on.
Last Friday afternoon and evening,
a number of them gathered and ad'
dressed the envelopes. Saturday even.
ing the letters were folded and placed
in the envelopes. Mrs. G. II. Castner,
Mrs. Creighton and Mrs. A. l.. Page
had charge of the folding. They were
assisted by bevy of young girls.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1.
--Kipling wrote: II have seen
Chicago and. having seen 1t,
devoutly desire never to see Il
again."
IL Kip meant the Cubs he felt
as ! do today. Having lived and
breathed with Cub teams for
many years, 1t is rather sad to
see the wreckage of a grand team
floating around the country dis
playing a brand of baseball that
would be q joke In st. Louis.
The Cubs, a major league team
which, six weeks ago, doomed up
as a pennant contender, have
spent month learning how to
play the hit and run. Shades Of
Billy Barney. think of ia mod
ern team practicing hit and run!
The team that was doped to
fight the Giants hard this year
looks now as II 1t would be very
lucky to finish In the first divi-
sion. After a month of hard
training the men do not know
where they are to play. O'Day
has shifted his men around-and
the last combination seems worse
than the first. He has weaken
ed two positions N an effort to
strengthen one.
Let us study the team frankly.
Saer Is a great first baseman.
Sweeney Is problem to me. He
was very ordinary player for
five years and a very good one
for two years. At his best he is
20 points worse than Evers In
both offense and defense. Zim-
norman Is bad ball player on
defense and a great hitter. He
lost more games for the Cubs last
year by fielding and base run
ming than he won by batting. He
Is not and never will be a good
shortstop. Leach quit third base
because of his failing arm years
ago.
Bronkie was joke as a ma
jor league possibility, and O'Day
evidently realized 1t quickly.
Schultz is one of the best, and
this season seems to be more in
earnest than ever. Murphy Or
dered Sheckard released and
Williams kept last year, admit
ting that Sheckard was a better
man while Williams was cheaper.
Good is just a fair player.
The one find of the spring,
Mollwitz. is corking player; one
who would win a place on five
teams in the league, but, with
Safer on first, his ability Is not
available.
The catching department is Of
pennant caliber, and the pitching
staff Is formidable. The strength
of the team before Evers was
fired lay in the hope that the
