LOCAL ROSE SHOW
SET FOR SATURDAY

Hood River will have its first rose
carnival and show next Saturday after
noon aud evening at the Unitarian
church. he display of wonderful bios
SONS that may be seen on every hand
here will be made. The rose show was
inspired by visit of Mrs. William
Stewart to the West Side place of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert G. Dieck.
81 want the Hood River people to
see some of these wonderful roses of
yours, said Mrs. Stewart, land | am
sure you would exhibit some of them
at show, provided we have one. ="
Mrs. Dieck assented at once, express
ing her wonder that Hood River has
never before had a rose show. Mrs.
Dieck has wonderful collection of
roses and other flowers at "Iopside
ranch. Her Irish roses, new and
beautiful variety, are now blooming.
She captured prizes at the Portland
rose show last year with some of her
flowers grown here. and varieties that
will be exhibited Saturday will be tax
en- to Portland.
The rose gardens of Hood River have
never been more beautiful. Mr. aud
Mrs. W. +. Laraway, who have a beau
tfusI collection, the flowers completely
surrunding their home on Front street,
have floral gems Of which anyone would
be proud. Mrs. j. W. Armstrong, on
the Heights, has scores of different va
rieties, well cared for and beautiful.
Mrs. Stewart, who is promoting the
show, has one of the handsomest gar
dens of the city. Judge Derby has a
collection of rare rose plants.
Others who have fine roses and who
with the above named rose fanciers are
expected to exhibit specimens of their
flowers Saturday are W. B. Mcclure,
d. 6. Jackson and +. A. Franz.
Hood River apples are known the
world over, says MIS- Stewart. "And
they say that The Whole World Knows
the Portland Rose And the Hood
River rose is every tit as fire rs that
of Portland.
Everyone in city or country is invited
to exhibit flowers at the Saturday
show. 1t is probable that many with
some of the rarest flowers are not
known. and it is hoped that all wi
take this opportunity to bring in their
flowers. Those who wish to plant rose
gardens and who desire to learn what
varieties are best suited to the local
climate should not miss the Saturday
show. Prizes will be awarded for the
best exhibits of dozen roses each.

BOY CHASE CREATES
EXCITEMENT MONDAY

When Joe Nix and Abe Rosstein, two
boys who were hanging around the sec
ond hand store of Gross a. Boxer on
Third street Monday, stule box of
watches. they were detected by Mr..
Gross, who demanded the return of the
goods. But the boys, striking the pro-
prietor of the store, rushed to the
street, Gross made full use of his
lungs, also following as fast as he
could run. For few minutes the chase
would have made good scenario stunts
for moving picture manufacturers.
The boys ran first up toward the X.
of p. building. They crossed down
across town and headed for the iungles.
A dozen or more men and boys were in
hot pursuit. f. A. Franz happened
along and with a pair of pruning
shears, leyeled as pistol, did effective
work.
1t is probable that the boys would
not have been caught had it not been
for George Orr and others, who were
fishing in the lowIands.
City Marshal Carson says that he
thinks the boys are wanted at Pendle-
tom for he found ON them manicur-
ing set, reported to have been stolen at
that city.
One of the boys, Joe Nix, recently
escaped from the Reform school at Sa-
lem. lie will be returned.
NiX's true name is said to be Nicho-
las Condiogles. He formerly lived in
Portland, but was sent TO the reform
school for crimes committed in The
Dalles.
John O'Conner, third boy, was in
volved in the theft from the second
hand store. The officers have not yet
been able to locate him.

A party of II Scouts, of Wasco, ac-

Methodist Episcopal church, arrived
here Monday morning for a week or
more of camping on Hood River. The

and made themselves at home in seeing
the town. They stopped at the Slocom

pictures made.
Rev. W. B. Young will preach to the
Scouts at the Asbury ME-. church next
Sunday morning, and in the evening

jointly with the entire northwest, can
not you figure out the benefits to be
derived when working alone and spe-
elalizing our product.
When II comes 10 handling a tonnage
such as Hood River can furnish. and
when we can figure for all time to come
that the biggest percentage Of our
product will be Spitzenburgs ana New
tons, believe | am in position to know
positively the value Of local organiza-
tlOn as compared with a general organ
ization. The sales effort we put forth
on the main varieties we specialize will
certainly show a beneficial effect as
well on the several hundred cars Of odd
varieties grCwn here that are neces-
sarlly competitive with the same varic-
ties grown here that are necessarily
competitive with these varieties grown
elsew here IN the northwest.
Another thought want to create is
that taking into consideration the
main varieties we grow, and the splen-
did terminal facilities we have for the
protection of our fruit, firmly believe
that no other section in the entire
northwest is as well enabled and
equipped to go alone as is Hood River
provided We cooperate among ourselves
by protecting your Association and
making quality a factor in our output.
The future Of this valley is going to
be what you make it, and every grower
in this valley will be dominant factor
in the building of success or the crea-
ton of Generalization.
In building on right liues and Great.
ing the fullest measure of confidence
among ourselves no factor plays so i'm
portant a part as the method of fruit
inspection. | am glad to report that
your directors have placed that impor-
tant department in the hands of Sam
e. Campbell. This gentleman is too
well known to need any introduction
aud returns to US after two years spent
in working through the entire north
west. Mr.. Campbell brings to us an
experience from both the producing
and marketing ends that is a guarantee
to all and will be a factor in bringing
Hood River to the front.

The first story of the new building will
be of concrete and hollow tile. 1t will
have an approximate capacity of 5000
boxes of apples.
}. E. Ferguson, formerly an architect
at Astoria, who was recently elected to
the board of directors of the selling

SUIT THREATS
MAY BE DROPPED
STANTON CONSIDERS THEM LIGHTLY
Officials After Visit to Columbia Highway.
Have Praise for Manner in Which
Work is Being Done

While the u.-W. r. g. N.'Co. has
threatened.a suit for damages against
the county on account of the delay
caused It's trains several weeks ago,
when heavy blasts were discharged at
Mitchell Point, where the Staudifer-
Clarkson Company's men are digging
d tunnel for the Columbia highway.
County Judge Stanton thinks that for
NAL demands will be dropped, and that
the matter will soon be cleared up.
Judge stanton says that he has dis
cussct the matter with members of the
contracting company and J. A. Elliott,
IN charge Of the work for the state.
and both tell him that the. blasts we're
set oil with the full knowledge of the
railroads engineers, who, indeed, set
the time of the blasts and who offered
to have steam crane at each end'of
the long line of debris.
Accompanied by County Attorney
Derby and Commissioner Hannum,
Judge Stanton has inpsected the Mitch
ell Point work. IAN danger of delays
TO trains are now over" he saws.
The contractors are progressing very
rapidly with the tunnel work. Three
holes have been cut in the sides of the
tunnel and the debris is now being
dumped through these. These open
sides will make the Mitchell Point por-
tlon the most talked of piece Of the
Columbia highway"
While on their tour of inspection the
county officials visited a point rear
Starvation creek, where the county,
with {. Johnson in charge, is building
line of dry masonry retaining walls.
Mr.. Johnson formerly had charge of
rock work for j. b. Yeon, Multnomah
county's roadmaster.
Through some error this piece of
work had been left out of the contract
of the Newport Land a Construction
Co. Although II. X. Newport was re-
Gently called on by the members of the
county court, State Engineer Cantine
and Leslie Butler, member of the ad-
visOry board of the State Highway
Commission, he refused to do the work
at the price quoted in the contract, this
price ranging from 81 to So per yard.
Mr.. Newport asked &c. As for the work,
and the county considered that the
work could be done more economically
If 1t were handled directly.
Judge Stanton, Judge Derby and Mr..
Hannum were taken on their trip west
of the city by R. f. Marquis in his
automobile.
The road 80 far built" says Judge
Derby, looks mighty fine to me. The
work seems of the best. Ii will be
August before the tunnel work is CON-
pleted ~
