portion of the city of Hood River, grew
to be the forebears of the thousands of
acres of orchards the blossoms of which
have 80 recently attracted the atten-
tion of visitors to the Apple Valley.
On March 26, 1856, the settlement of
the Cascades was attacked by Klickitat
and Yakima Indians. This is known in
history of the northwest as the massa-
ere of the Cascades. The residents of
the pioneer community barred them
selves in their homes and fought Vail
antly. They were finally rescued by a
little steamer and taken to The Dalles.
The settlers of every mid-Columbia
landing we're terror;zed. All homes on
the Washington side Of the river were
abandoned 10 the painted warriors, who
pillaged them and applied the torch.
The uprising was finally quelled by
troops from The Dalles.
As the demands of transportation
grew it was decided too build a short
railway around the cascades. The fare
on this short stretch of about a mile
was greater than the sum charged to-
day for ticket from Portland to The
Dalles.

ASSN HESITATES ON
JOINING new AGENCY

While it is the sentiment of the
growers and members of the board of
directors Of the Apple Growers Associ.
alton. according to A. W. Stone, to
subscribe to the cooperative movement
of northwestern apple growers through
the Fruit Growers Agency, Inc, as
established under government super.
vision with headquarters at Spokane,
to such degree as is consistent with
existing contracts between the organ
ization and its members, the Associa-
tion has hesitated to align itself with
the new organization because of objec-
tions to clauses of the proposed "uni-
form contract.
"The matter is up for consideration
by our board of directors" says Mr..
Stone. 'It is felt at the present time
that we cannot conform to the uni
form contract without some change.
since it is in seeming conflict with the
basic principles of our organization, a
strictly cooperative one. We are CIV
ing the most serious thought to the
last clause of the contract, which per-
tains to the title of the fruit, and are
endeavoring to find a way to make 1t
harmonize with our own form OF Or
ganizstion. UP to the present time no
final decision has been made. but the
matter is still being considered.

COUNCIL PREPARES
TO IMPROVE STREETS

Plans were outlined at the Monday
night meeting of the city council for
campaign of street improvement for
the year. Street Commissioner Samu.
el, City Engineer Price and the street
committee of the body were authorized
to secure oil and make repairs to the
oilbound macadam that has been laid
on the residence streets of the city.
The salary of MIR. Price was raised
from $50 to 500 per month.
To put a stop to the speeding of
autombilists on city thoroughfares
Mayor Dumble was authorized by the
council to employ, at any time he
deemed it expedient for public safety,
a special motor cycle police officer to
patrol the city and keep an eye on
motorists. Numerous complaints have
recently been made to the mayor and
councilmen of speeding on residence
streets endangering the lives Of chill
dren.
The council discussed the offer of the
Portland Journal to cooperate with To-
cal authorities in securing a public
dock. The councilmen and mayor will
lend all assistance at their hands In the
campaign that seems to have been
started by the Commercial club and the
county court to secure the advantages
to be made available by the Journal.
Claims made against the city by
Frank Howard and Fred Rand, the for
mer for an alleged injury to his wife
who fell into hole in sidewalk and
the latter for the injury of small son,
whose leg was broken last December
by an axe that slipped from the hand
of workman and struck the lad as he
watched crew of city men engaged in
making repairs to the approach to the
