Lightning Starts Fire

When the unusual electric cloud was
hanging over the range of mountains
west of the valley Monday, lightning
struck a tree near the base of Mount
Defiance. Fortunately the smoke fol-
lowing the terrific crash was seen by
A. A. Lausmann, in charge OF the
Stanley-Smith Lumber Go. property at
Green Point. Mr.. Lausmann immedi-
stely sent a crew of men TO the scene
Of the fire. Within five minutes after
the men had left he received a call
from the ranger station at Look Out
mountain reporting the fire. The
flames. which might have caused a
serious burn. had they been allowed to
gain headway. were put out before
they were given a ehancesto spread.
The lightning caused no small won.
der in the valley. and the detonation Of
thunder caused innumerable comments
similar TO the following: Just like
an eastern thunder storm"
Following the rise of the cloud a
slight shower of large rain drops fell
in the city and country.

naturally very beautiful place. Many
towns which do not possess the natural
advantages that Hood River does
would be very glad to buy, and pay
we'll for, such spot.
Members of the committee having
the building of the pool in charge have
expressed themselves at different times
that this work was only a beginning
and that next year walks should be
laid out, flowers and lawns planted and
seats built under the magnificent shade
trees already there.
There are many people who cannot
get out of town Sundays that would no
doubt be very glad to have such
place to go to for rest and quiet, and
the expense would be trifiing in COM
parison TO the benefit to the town.
A caretaker has already been pro-
vided by the committee at small ex-
pense and the same person could attend
to the beautlfying Of the grounds and
keeping them clean. II would seem
that the city. or some civic organization
should take action in this matter early
next spring.
Just little "pull together" spirit is
all that is required to give Hood River
one of the prettiest little parks in the
state.

FOUND GOOD USE FOR CANDY
How King Alfonso's Quick Wit En-
abIed Him to Avoid Listening to
Tedious Address.

An amusing story is told concern
ing a visit King Alfonso of Spain once
paid, when he was little more than
a boy, to a small Spanish town that
is noted for a certain delicious kind
of candy which is as sticky as it is
palatable.
When the young king arrived a
deputation of the townsfolk waited
upon him and presented him with a
huge box of the famous candy. At
the same time a big man stepped be-
fore his majesty carrying a large
roll of paper in his hand which he
began to open. 1t was a loyal ad-
dress, and would evidently take a
long time to read through.
Now, King Alfonso loathed listening
to addresses, so as the big man ad-
vanced he handed round the box of
candy among the deputation and made
the would-be reader take a particular
ly large piece. OF course, etiquette
forbade him to refuse. AS he worked
his jaws up and down his teeth stuck
in the candy, and he could no more
have read the address than he could
have flown in the air.
