Right Down to Work

The State Board Of Equalization is
in session today and the members
have been making rapid progress in
their work. The assessment of the
public utilities and railroads has been
under discussion and as each county
is taken up, the assessor from that
county is given an opportunity to
argue the question of raise or de
crease in the valuation placed on the
different companies and give his reas-
ons for so doing. Judging by what
has already been done the session
bids fair to develop into one of the
most important and far-reaching III
its results of any yet held in the state.

quick and concerted action is taken
the thing can be accomplished.
1t is the purpose of the people ha1-
ing the pictures in hand to display
the pictures first at the exposition
and then later in every city, town ami
hamlet in the United States. The par
amount purpose, of course, is to ad-
vertise the Lincoln highway against
all other routes, but in doing this
they cannot help but advertise the
towns that are on the route, hence
the advantage and absolute necessity
to have Carson City there in big
numbers. 1t would be shame to let
the opportunity pass, and no doubt ct
the meeting this afternoon steps VIII
be taken to send a committee over to
Reno the first thing tomorrow morn
ing and make an effort to bring the
caravan this way. Let everybody at
tend the meeting this afternoon and
boost.

OREGON DEFEATED
CALIFORNIA TWICE

Recent statements to the effect that
Cali 'ornia was never defeated in q
a competitive exhibit of horticulture
until at the San Francisco fair
are erroneous, as is pointed out by E.
l.. Smith, who was one of Oregon's
commissioners at the Buffalo Pan
American exposition, where Oregon
was awarded the Marshall P. Wilder
sweepstakes gold medal on fruit.
''At this exposition we had the keen
est competition on fruit" says Mr..
Smith, not only from California and
other western states but the fruit pro-
ducing sections Of the east and foreign
countries as well. However, all credit
for the award must go to the late II.
+. Van Deman, who was certainly q
friend of Oregon.
81 had understood that only fresh
fruit was to have been displayed. The
judges came and viewed our plates
with the most favorable comments. but
they deplored the fact that we had SO
little. MIR. Van Deman came along
just as they were leaving and asked.me
why | had not displayed my dried
fruits. | at once went to the judges
and they granted my request that my
dried fruits be entered. 1t was mot
long until all Of US ia theOregon party
were frenzied with Iioy at the award !;
for it was the first triumph for Oregon
fruit.

Oregon party in charge of the states

pointed on some one of the committees
that are now devising means to make
the celebration one to be looked for
ward to and then to be remembered.
| fhescity will be decorated. Except for
drugstores, restaurants, candy stores
and such similar places, every place in
town will be closed all day long.
The morning will be devoted TO the
parade. D. G. Cruikshank, of the s, II
and Is cent store, will present prizes tc
little girls who form a doll cab parade.

WINANS ISSUES A
SONG FOR THE FAIR

Because of the tender sentiments Of
the words, the melody of it and the
uniqueness of the cover page of the
song, w. Ross Winans bids fair to win
laurels when he visits San Francisco
and San Diego, as he now plans, with
his new song, "The Golden Sunset
Trail"
This song tells of the salient features
of Pacific Coast history. The words are
we'll selected, and there is a rythm
about them that puts the song over"
with the one reading it. The cover
page is bit of very artistic work, all
the suggestions drawn from the fertile
| brain of the writer. The allegorical
| figures are more suggestive of Califor-
MIA than of any other coast region. A
verse in the song, however, at the sug-
gestions of Geo. H. Hines, curator of
the Oregon Historical Society, has been
devoted to the Oregon country.
The cover page shows the golden
California poppies, the mountains, a
huge steam liner within the Golden
Gate. and big grizzly bear overlook.
ing the water. But that which will in
terest Hood River people more than
anything else is the cut of Mr. Winans,
himself at the left hand lower corner
of the page. The author and composer
is dressed in an old buckskin suit. He
carries an old muzzle loading rife, the
property of an Oregon pioneer. The
powder horn shown was borne by d
revolutionary soldier through the wal
of Independence. The trapper's hunt
ing knife was made from a Hudson
Bay Company's file. These articles
were furnished Mr.. Winans through
the courtesy of MIR. Hines.
Mr.. Winans. who has passed what
would be the prime of life for most
men, still considers that he is just ir
the prime of life. 81 am younger thar
ever" he says. He is the son of pio
neer and frontier parents, Edgar anC
Elizabeth Winans who emigrated from
Kansas to Oregon in the spring of 1887
His mother died at Hood River tive
years ago at the age Of 80 years. Hi
father still resides here and at Cornell
ius. He has reached his ninetieth year

SPRAY! SPRAY! SPRAY!
is WINSTON'S ADVICE

Never in all my experience in orch

of the local experiment station, "have
| seen so much scab on leaves as there
is at the present time. The weather
men tell me that it usually rains along
toward the end of June. II it rains
with the orchards in the condition they
are in now, inestimable damage will be
done. advise growers in the Lower
Valley to apply spray of Bordeaux
MIXTURE. 1t is question as to which
will be better for the Upper Valley,
Bordeaux or lime-sulphur.
MIR. Winston declares that growers of
the valley must do more effective
spraying in order to be rid Of some of
the disease pests that cause worry and
loss.

Car Owners Asked to Help

All individual owners of automobiles
are asked to decorate their machines
and drive them in the morning parade.
Those who will enter their machines
should report to Frank. E. Haenner,
of the parade committee.
The Upper Valley and Odell districts
will have separate sections in the pa
rade.
Desirable prizes to be offered for the
best decorated cars will no doubt make
the competition keen and bring out
some clever effects.

without excuse or plea
A rover bold | come
Good will toward all who welcome me
To bless each happy home"
The Golden Sunset Trail is dedi-
Gated as follows:
"To my Father and Mother
Who toiled in the lonesome West
When the Redman's heart was bad
Who gave of love and life their best
For their rowing barefoot lad. E"
The poem follows:
There's dim old trail through the
Rockies bold,
In winding, westward way,
Where the FOrty-niners sought for gold
In the old-time early day.
And it leads through forests tall and
fine
Where the song birds.tune their lay,
Where the zephyrs and the whispering
pine
Lure the Pilgrims on their way.
Chorus:
Then meet me, meet me, meet me
Old friends, pray do not fail,
'Tis the last time you may greet me
On the Golden Sunset Trial.
Yes, meet me, boys of Forty-nine
And girls of long ago.
True friends and old sweethearts of
mine
Though your hair be white as snow.
In the days of old, rich, yellow gold,
Ere the Golden Fleece was shorn,
Some came through the Rockies bold
While some sailed round the Horn.
Now they flock to the Sunset Carnival
In biplanes through the air
And in ships through Panama Canal
And by rail to the Sunset Fair.
Chorus:
From Hudsons Bay men fought their
way
To the land of the setting sun.
Lewis and Clark through deserts dark
To the land of Oregon,
Where Columbia's crested breakers
play
And the Astor furled her sail
And Captain Gray in early day
Met the Golden Sunset Trail.
Chorus:
For time has changed this sun.kissed
range
And all nations here may meet
At our open door. nor think of war,
AT peace with all they greet.
Now it's strange and new to the old
time few
Who worked with pick and pan,
And we're looking round for placer
ground
Where there's hardly room to stand.
Chorus:
California fair has a grizzly bear
For mascot on her shield.
She's Golden State, with record
great
For full and plenty yield,
Now the orange sweet, the corn and
wheat
Grow rank o'er the cactus plain,
Warm skies above and water prove
, New links to the Golden Chain.
Chorus:
lhere are nelds OF fioWers rich and rare
Where the sunbeams dance till late,
With skies of azure bright and fair
J And sunset by the Golden Gate.
There are cities fair by the ocean blue
Where the steamships meet the rail,
, Where the merry mermaids welcome
; you
At the end of the Sunset Trail.
Chorus:
And the ghost of a grim old grizzl,
bear
Where the shadows lurk and wait
As it ambles down by the Sunset Fair
And out by the Golden Gate.
San Francisco then, for me and you
In the land of poppies rare,
And dear old San Diego too,
! At the Nineteen-fifteen Fair.
E Chorus:
. Yes, meet me, boys of Forty-nine
! And girls of long ago.
/ True friends and old sweethearts O
mine
5 Though your hair be white as snow.
e Then all hands round with JOY abount
n And cast aside all care,
While we roam the Happy Hunting
r Ground
l At the Nineteen-ffteen Fair.
