BILL RUN AND HETCH HETCHY

10 those who are opposing the open
ing Of wagon and automobile road
through the Bull Run water reserve
we would give the advice that they
make a study Of some Of the Congress
ional proceedings in the matter of the
Hetch Hetehy water reserve for San
Francisco. Led by the city Of Los
Angeles, which was determined that
San Francisco should not outdo her in
the construction of a gigantic water
system, scenic lovers, poets and what
not, appeared with the information
that the grant Of such a reserve would
bottle up one of the state of Califor-
Mas beauty spots. If the lovers of
this inspiring scenery, they argued are
allowed to enter the lletch Hetchy re-
serve, it will contaminate the source
of supply Of the Bay cities.
But the citizens of San Francisco got
busy. They put men Of known integ-
rity, men whose skill as sanitary en-
gineers was known the world over, on
the Job. They investigated from all
angles, and after due deliberation de-
cided that with campers in the reserve,
watched over and patroled by the rang
ers and special officers, no danger OF
contamination would result.
Compare the Bull Run case with the
above. Portland people, who know the
topography of the country, who know
that the forestry service will be better
able TO patrol the region, if the road is
built, oh0 know the advantages OF this
highway to the man who would behold
some of the state e's.prettest scenery.
oro in favor of road built through the
Bull Run reserve, connecting Hood
River county with Portland and the
Willamette valley. Hood River peo-
pie are in favor of the road. Members
of PortIand's water board, however,
oppose it. They see great horde OF
uncomfortable campers surglng on the
reserve. But the road, itself, will not
even pass over the Bull Run water
shed, and forest rangers with road
over which they can travel hourly on
motor cycles in the summer months.
the only time when travellers will visit
the region, will be able to prevent
poachers from even tarryng long
enough to build fire. The members
of the water board are seeking to bot
tie up this beautiful region when there
is absolutely no common sense reason
for it,

THOIlGHTS ON ROADS

He who has travelled over bad road
behind a teamsor in motor car has
given the Recording Angel work jot-
ting down the thoughts he has had and
the words he has expressed. And yet
we feel that the good Angel, who keeps
account Of our misdeeds, notes on the
margin of his great volume the cause
that produced such an effect, and that
the Almighty in His wisdom is lenient
with a man who has been brought to
harsh sentences by such conditions.
The Portland journal in its editorial
columns last week had some good road
thoughts. We reproduce them here; {
"Think of the cruelty and hardship
on mans best friend, the horse. How
painfully he struggles to draw light
load through the mud. Note when he
reaches a bad place how reluctantly he
puts down his front feet, how he
throws back his ears as a sign of pro-
test Notice also when he comes to a
good hard place how he throws his ears
forward, switches his tail as "A sign of
content and listen to his breath of re-
lief.
"The conserving of the energy of
the horse from a humane standpoint
alone is worth the cost of good road.
In the final judgment those who oppose
the good roads movement will have a
few anxious moments in explaining
their lack of consideration for the
morse.
"Another thing to consider is the
empty school bench during the week in
the country school and the empty pew
on Sunday in the country church due to
the inability to attend by pupil and
communicate or account of impossible
roads.
Another consideration is the added
facility for fighting forest fires in
heavily timbered country. With good
roads, fire fighting equipment ana men
could be moved over a radius of 70
miles in the same length time of it
now requires to move over radius OF
three miles,
"The highway enters into all the re-
lations of life from birth to death.
Who can compute the number of lives
that would be saved if there were
good roads by means of which medical
assistance could be quickly secured, OF
the injured could be speedily hurried
to hospital for proper treatment and
care.
Finally, on that last day, when all
that is mortal is consigned to earth
what a solace to know that the eternal
omnibus will roll smoothly over a good
road.

An Australian Courtship

When William Of Tree Fern made
up to Kate Ryan the moon was bright
and the weather was feeling good. He
escorted her home over the two mile
road and never a word said he but
IT'S bonner night for possums
Kate"
Next night he met her again and
poured the same remark into her shell
like ear. This went on for week, and
Kate bore 1t patiently, In the belief
that when the moon waned and dark
ness was upon the earth and the sins
thereof, William would be more ex
plicit.
So one dark night she encouraged
him all she could, but without making
her bashful lover loosen his tongue un
til the journey home was nearly com
plcted Then he blurted It out
Kate" he said, "er"- YES. William,
she murmured. Era bloke wouldn't
have dorg's chance with the pos
sums tonight" That settled Bill

Salt and Fresn Matsr Lakna.

Fresh water lakes are always only
expansions OF rivers, due to the par
ticular Typographical configuration OF
IA valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
ceive runs out either continuously OF
intermittently and that the chemical
constitution of their water remains
constantly the same as that of the
streams and rivers of the same region
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al,
ways closed basins, without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being well
understood, We see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water is ma
ture's great solvent. Hardly a single
substance simple or compound, es
capes its dlssolving action Conse
quently the water that flows over the
earth's surface or In its depths con
tains constantly in solution substances
that finally accumulate In the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass. removed only by evaporation
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter,

THE PINE GROVE MEETING

The Pine Grove folk are to be con-
graduated on their recent meeting.
During the winter months, when the
orchardist's work is tagging for the
time being. it is to his interest to get
in touch with his neighbor, get his
views on methods of spraying and other
orchard problems. The Hood River
community has many little problems
that will grow into large ones, if not
properly handled by the growers. We
can easily rear back on our fame and
forget the future, and let our quality
detefiorate. But we must remember
that our quality must be kept at the
highest standard in the future, else
that fame wilt slip from us. Meetings
such as the Pine Grove one was, will
set before our minds that we must
always be up and doing, Swat every
little evil and pest at once. p"
1t is good to note that the Pine
Grove community institute will be
made a permanent institution.

BELMONT CITIZENS

The citizens of the Belmont district,

day before the county court, asking
for construction of a permanent high
way to their district.

said Prof. l.. F. Henderson, who was
spokesman for the Belmont folk, "for
a macadam road. for one, am glad
that the court turned down our petit
tion. We people there now. and per-
sonally, think the needs of the com.
munity would be better served if We
have our funds expended on perma,

Prof. Henderson called attention tc
the heavy traffic over the route. the
character of the soil there, which
makes an ordinary clay road irnpractic.

the bill introduced by Senator Lane
and that some Of the Hood River PeO-
pie want 8 wagon road opened IN the
reserve. A statement to the effect
that practically all Of the Hood River
citizens want such q road would be
fairer. He says that such a road Is
not needed, since the length Of route
from Portland is 81 miles, while that
up the Columbia to Hood River is but
sixty some odd miles. The inference
to be drawn is that we Of Hood River
prefer the reserve road TO the Colum-
bia river highway. But the forest road
Is wanted as a complement TO the river
highway. The forestry service has al
ready oyened up passsble trail over
the mountain divide. The forestry
service desires congress to appropriate
money to build the road. When the
river highway is completed, II the road
through the reserve is also. built,it will
make for the motorists Of Portland, one
of the most delightful loop drives in
the world, and people Of Portland. who
