THE BURSTING OF A BUBBLE

The proposed City Of Utility is caus.
ing endless discussion at the present
time, and it is well that it should.
Many of the citizens residing in the
bounds of the proposed new town, are
beginning to comprehend the meaning
of the City of Utility. As knowledge
of the ultimate bounds to which a sue
cessful election on April 20 would lead
is disseminated, the sentiment against
the City of Utility is growing, and the
beautiful dream that we have been hav'
ing of our Lower Valley town is van.
ishinR the bubble is bursting.
We.note that one of the exponents of
the City of Utility dissertates on the
boundless advertising that Hood River
will receive if the SO square miles of
the Lower Valley are tied together by
the knot of incorporation. The words
of such argument are burdened v ith
nonsense. Doubtless the community
would receive columns of free adver-
tising, and just such advertising would
keep the dollars of investors far. far
away from the little City of Utility.
Prince Charlie, the world famed human
initiating chimpanzee. has been fre
quently in the limelight. The simiar
was a freak. The City of Utility will
be a freak municipality and as such
will make copy for ambitious news
gatherers.
But the citizens of the valley will
beware of such free publicity, it will
touch their pocket books and there will
be no return.

SAM HILL OFFERS
FREE FERRY SYSTEM

Because Willamette valley counties
have refused cooperation with jackson
county in building the Pacific highway.
and because Hood River has refused
cooperation with Multnomah. Columbia
and Clatsop iE constructing the Colum-
bia highway, Sam Hill, father Of the
good roads movement in the northwest,
has figured out a plan for uniting the
two road building sections and leaving
the unprogTessiye counties without the
tourist traffic, according to dispatch
from Medford to the Portland Oregon
Journal. While in the city recently he
said: "My plan is this: When the
1915 tourists come to Jackson county
over the Pacific highway, serd them to
Crater Lake, thence through central
Oregon over good natural roads to
Biggs, wheIe the state is now building
fine grade. From Biggs ! have
agreed to operate a free ferry to Mary
hill across the Columbia. From there
is a fine scenic highway to Stevenson.
Between Stevenson on the Washington
side and Cascade Locks on the Oregon
side, Amos Benson has argeed to build
and operate another ferry which will
land the tourists on the Columbia high
way. Thus the tourists will see the
most scenic parts of Oregon and be on
good roads all the time. "
Mr.. Hill is enthused over the road
activity in Jackson county.

MASON NOT RUNNING
MATE, SAYS KELLY

J. l.. Kelly, formerly mayor of The
Dales, and one of Wasco county's
wealthiest and most prominent citi-
zens, who has made definite an
nouncement of his candidacy on the
Republican ticket for joint representa-
tive from Hood River and Wasco couu-
ties, was in the city yesterday building
political fences.
"The idea for some reason or other
has been disseminated, says MIR. Kel-
ly, that | would be the running mate
of A. |. Mason. The Hood River News
contained this erroneous statement
this morning. am not going to artil-
ate with any other candidate, but will
make the race on my reputation as a
business man and citizen. ! have no
hobbies to offer my constituents.
Mr.. Kelly's tax in Wasco county will
aggregate a sum of approximately
81 900 this year, and he declares that
he is really interested in repeating
many of the useless commissions with
which the state is burdened.

FRANKTON.

There will be a musical and literary
entertainment and basket social at the
school house Friday evening for the
purpose of raising funds for the tennis
court. The program is in charge of
the ParentTeacher association and the
high school literary society jointly.
One of the features of the program
will be debate on the proposed City
of Utility, between teams composed of
two members, one from each organiza-
tiOn.
A called meeting of the Frankton
Parent-Teacher association at the
school house Friday evening was at.
tended by a large audience. A musical
program including the following numF
bers was enjoyed; Piano solo, Gala
Berry; vocal solo, John Nickelsen
song by FranktOn school double quar-
tet; vocal solo, Mrs. Robert Tazwel.
Mrs. Il. j. Copper and Mrs. T. W.
Berry then reported on hot lunches for
school children, the latter favoring the
plan,at least during the winter months,
and the former opposing it. After dis
cussion it was voted to postpone action
for the present.
M. R. Noble then spoke on the topic
of beautifying the school grounds and
buildings, recommending that the
grounds be improved at once, to include
completion of the tennis court which the
students have well begun, grading and
seeding at least part of fairgrounds
and repainting the building. Others
spoke in favor of improvement, and
motion was carried that the president
be authorized to appoint a committee
to work out definite plan for beaut-
flying the grounds without interfering
with their usefulness as a playground.
A motion also carried that the board
recommended to purchase material to
complete the tennis court, the labor to
be volunteered by the students and
others.
John Nickelsen then moved that the
board be asked to purchase piano
for the school. After an animated
discussion in WHICH it was pointed out
that the organ now used by the school
belongs to the Sunday school, and that
Frankton is the only school in the val
ley of more than one room in which
there is not an instrument owned by
the district, the motion carried with.
cut dissenting voice.
A. W. lsbell was called upon and ex-
pressed himself as opposed to school
lunches and opposed to purchasing
piano Immediately, saying that he be-
lieved the board should wait till the
June school meeting for legal instruc-
tion by the people of the district.
The meeting then Adjourned till Fri.

ed to discuss the proposed City of

REGISTER FOR APRIL ELECTION

Anyone entitled to vote at a general
election may cast a ballot at the spe-
cial municipality election called for
April 20. provided he has lived within
the bounds of the proposed town for
three months. The laws of the general
election rule, and all voters in the affect
ed districts of the valley should reg.
ister before the election. While diff.
ference of opinion as to the necessity
of a registration this year for eligibil,
ity to vote at the special election pre-
walls, il is well enough to be on the
safe side and register early.

THE ORCHARD CASES

The recent decisions of courts in
eases involving tracts Of land. which
promoters have been selling as orchard
land, will save many broken backs and
broken hearts. With an alluring array
Of data taken from the orchards Of
tried districts, orchard land promoters
during the past five years have found
the selling of their tracts profitable
business. In addition to the appeal Of
profits whcih they have held up to the
eyes of the victim, as the hypnotist
catches the attention of his subject
with some glittering object, there has
been the charm of life on the fruit
farm.
The promoters who have been most
successul have never found it to their
advantage to secure an acreage in the
best fruit districts. The original cost
Of land there has been so high that
their margin of profit has not been
enough. They have spent much on
publicity, and many dollars have gone
into the preparation of tracts to be
shown prospective purchasers.
While the promoter of these tracts in
districts that are unadapted to apples
have been making frequent sales, the
man developing orchard land in tried
districts. has been making comparative
ly few sales. The cost of making an
orchard in a tried district is heavier in
all cases. And yet the buyers in the
tried districts will be found satisfied.
Their dealings have been on a conserv-
atiye basis and will last. There will
be no retarding reaction. The unscru-
pulous or unwse promoter leaves dis
atser in his wake The bursting of his
bubbles retards the development of
orchards, and yet it is beneficial, since
it tends to make buy ers more wary and
limits the purchases of orchard tracts
to the tried districts.

With an early apple season coming on
1t is well to prepare for frosts. Straw is
the cheapest medium to use and n case
it is not needed it can be used for bed
ding and later turned under the soil for
fertilizer. Accordingly the investment is
small and not lost whether it is used for
smudging or not. We have a good stock
on hand but will want early orders so
that supplies can be held. Kelly Bros.
