STONE FINISHES
DEER CREEK BRIDGE

D. |. Stone, whose place on the head
waters of the West Fork, the last
ranch on the road to Lost Lake, has
just completed new bridge over Deer
creek in the Sandy Flat districts The
new bridge will eliminate the heavy
grade leading up from Sandy Flat. On
account of the improvement to the road
leading into the Lost Lake and Lake
Branch communities many Hood River
people, who every summer enjoy out
ings in the districts, contributed to a
fund that was supplemented by the
county court for the bridge construc-
tion.
No one has taken such an interest in
the proposed road across the Cascade
reserve over the government trail lead

Fork to the Sandy river as has MIR.

people are pushing a highway across
the reserve on the south and east sides
of Mount Hood and losing interest in

PORTLAND Is USING
HOOD RIVER APPLES

Never on any former year has Port
laRd used SO many Hood River apples
as this season. Usually Portland has
been made a dumping ground for the
poorer class of fruit. Loca people who
have recently visited in Portland de-
clare that this fall excellent quality
fruit from local orchards may be seen
in almost all grocery stores. Many
displays of the extra fancy apples are
being made.
And the Portland people are getting
the apples at price that will stimu-
late consumption and yet give fair
return to the grower. The earlier va
rieties of apples are selling t 81 box
on the Rose City market. while the
latter commercial varieties are bring
ing as much as $3.50 per box.

- INDUSTRIAL clubs for the girls
and boys of Oregon, organized this
spring, have shot to hit in aiding
the children to win the $4,000 in
N prizes offered them in contests at
the coming local and state fairs.
Applying the tombstone of utility to
education, industrial work throughout
the state has recently been greatly en-
couraged. In the spring of 1913, the
Oregon legislature appropriated the
sum Of $4,000 to be paid each year out
of the general fund of the state to pay
the salary and travelling expenses of
two assistants, whose duty it is to trav-
ell throughout the counties of the state
and supervise and promote the develop
ment of industrial work in the public
schools, including such subjects as ag-
rieulture, manual training and home
economics, and promote industrial
school fairs and school garden con-
tests, under the direction of the state
superintendent of public instruction and
in cooperation with the state agricul-
tural college. The Lever bill consider
ing further appropriations will be up
before the next legislature. Interested
in the industrial realities about them,
public school students are pursuing
practical ideals. Having a knowledge
of the vocatiOns they must follow in
later years they are assuming differ
ent attitude toward the bread.and-
butter" side of life.
