ROAD BOND COMMITTEE

For tho past several weeks the Gla-
eier has been urging some concerted
action on the part Of the people Of
Hood River county toward making
preparations for an election on the
proposed bondsissue for roads. not only
the valley trunk lines, but the Colup-
bia river highway. We think that the
attitude taken by County Juge Stanton
and the court is one to be commended
The ultimate fate of the issue that is
proposed is in the hands of the people.
Why not let them. through meetings
and discussions determine what they
desire aud know whittier a bond cleo
tion will lead before the matter is
definitely launched? While the court
is not debating to the people, it seems
to US from the expressions Of Judge
Stanton, that they favor the maximum
limit, a sum of approximately s2O0, 600,
for the county. with as small a portion
of this as is necessary, for the opening
of unfinished parts of the river high
way.
There is a misunderstanding as to
the amount Of money that local citi-
zens think ought to be speat on the
Columbia river highway. However,
the true condition seems to be that no
one who is fully conversant with the
situation thinks that a greater amount
than $50, 900 is necessary.
We would suggest that the question
of the bond issue should be left to a
committee composed of SO citizens,
selected from no faction or sect, men
of known integrity and free from fac
tional prejudices, Let them get busy,
explain to the citizens of the valley
the economy of a road fund provided
by bond issue and the benefits that
will result.
But no time can be lost. The Colum-
bia river highway should be opened
and the valley trunk lines should be
improved the coming working season.

Insects That Walk on Water.

Insects that walk on the water by
means Of pneumatic floats are the fa-
millar water and the pond skater spi-
der Not many people know why they
can walk on the water The pond
skater really walks on pneumatic
floats. There are tiny hairs on the
feet Of this insect, so fine that they
cannot be seen, that are arranged to
collect air. The amoupt collected in
and about these hairs is sufficient to
allow the insect to float or walk upon
the surface of the water. AS each foot
is put down 1t forms a cuplike depres-
sion or tiny pit in the water. The foot
does not sink because the air bubble
that has been formed is too light to let
1t. A fine covering Of hair protects the
water spider. too, and even If it is sub
merged In the water 1t is never really
wet. The hair keeps a layer of air be-
tween its body and the water. 1t looks
like white pearl when below the sur
face. The scientific name of this cuIs-
GUS insect Is the Velia currens.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

WEDGWoOD'S MASTERPIECE.
II Is His Reproduction of the Famous
Portland Vase.

Sir William Hamilton was an au-
thority on Roman and Grecian antiqui-
ties. dis fine collection of them and
his great book on the subject prove
that assertion. He wrote to Wedg-
wood about that much admired work
of ancient art (the Barberini vase) In
these terms: Except the Apollo Belve
dere. the Niobes and two or three 9TH
ers of the first class marbles, | do not
beheve that there are any monuments
of antiquity existing that were execut-
ed by so great an artist" This is about
the highest commendation that could
be bestowed, and when we consider
that such a work, so soaringly emio
nent. was successfully initiated by one
of our own artist potters it is surely a
ground for national qualification.
The original vase came into the pos
session of the noble Italian family of
Barberini, hence its name. 1t was
acquired by Byres, the antiquary. and
then. by Sir William Hamilton, who
brought 10 to England in the year 1884
he, in turn, sold it to the, Duchess of
Portlon& Her descendant, the fourth
&uks, @eSnsitea 1t in the British mu-
scum. owing to which fact it is best
hnows 90 Englishmen as the Portland
vase. fs was lent by the duke to
Wedswmd to make his copy frome
The body of 1t had been much disput-
ed, bus no found that 1t was glass. He
gas Rot a glassblower, but had in
vented his wonderful jasperwsre by
that tigsp and decided his copy should
be mnas of that substance. 1t was a
tremendous task and took some three
years in the modelling by lakewood
and others. The cost was never re-
couped by the subscriptions.
1t is justly esteemed to have been
Wedgvood's masterpiece. 1t has been
reproduced by his successors and by
ether rOtters, but. of course, they have
not the Same market value as those
made by the great Josiah himself.15W.

The state officials in whose hands
rests the operations Of the recently
passed Blue Sky Law are making in
vestigations as to the reliability of
orchard companies that should be Of
benefit to every bona fide northwestern
fruit district. The workings of un~
scrupulous dealers in orchard lands
have done more damage to the legiti
mate fruit raising industry than any
other one factor. Lands absolutely
untitled for fruit lands, in instances
not even suited to raising goats. have
been sold 20 a gullible public. A reac-
tion has been created. Prospective
conservative purchasers have been
made wary. So many have been the
cases of bad orchard deals that in the
minds of some of the psblic the whole
scheme has been one to secure the dol
lars of suckers.
But the stringent enforcement of
such a law will tend to stop such
frauds and the public will feel that it
ia protected against fraudulent sellers.
The operation of the Blue Sky law
should protect legitimate orcharding.
