As the Columbia river highway bond
election will have become history when
this appears in print, and in view OF
the fact that we have preserved dis
Greet sile nee so long as we might have
been accused of attempting TO influence
votes, we are now free to say that we
hope the result of Wednesdays elec-
tion may be such that the Columbia
river higwhay is assured.
Odell was especially interested in
the accounts of the capture of the o..
W. r. & N train robbers, as special
agent f. B. Wood is cousin of Gin
ton Wood, of Odell, and Mrs. Wood is d
sister of Mrs. Katherine Kemp.
Friends here were deeply grieved tC
hear of the sudden death of Ira Evans,

Voters, are you forgetting the special
school election on Friday, tomorrow
night at the school house? Has some
one told you that the addition of the
eleventh grade will not require any in.
crease in the number of teachers anc
in the size Of the school building? II
so, did you accept these statements al
true? Do you know that with th'
grades as now taught classes hav,
been sent from the principals loom t
the teacher in the upper intermediat,
room for recitations2 How then, ma,
a full grade with the time required TO
all subjects required in that grade b,
granted justice or anything that nea
approaches justice? Here are few O.
the advantages Hood River high or an.
other standard high school offers: A
laboratory and equipments for expert
ments in physics, chemistry and agri
culture. Teachers who have special
ized, each for his own particular sub
ject, viz, mathematics or English, o.
history. domestic science or manua
training. For the young man or WON
an who intends taking up the profes
sion of teacher, there is the higf
school normal course. Just imagine
Odel school with grades, one to clever
| inclusive, and four teachers striving t
prepare students who expect to be con
sidered fully as well equipped as those
who attend standard high school
Suppose then, that additional building
and another teacher are found neces
sary and money is raised by specia
tax for this purpose. What is the re
suit? We think we need not call YOU
attention to the fact that even thl!
would be very inferior imitation Of
the real article. Are we really con
cerned as to the welfare of our boyi
and girls? We believe that making
such sacrifice as is necessary in ordeI
that they may have the advantages o.
much better junior and senior year'
than we can give them in the homC
school is better proof of our interest il
them than voting yes on this PROPOSE
tion can ever be.
