COLUMBIA PARK
Will. BE DEDICATED

The new National park which hss
been created in the 1900 acres skirt
ing the Columbia river along the high.
way for % miles between Hood Rive,
ana WaIrendale, will be dedicated al
the same time as the Columbia river
highway, at the opening of the 1916
Portland Rose festival, If possible.
The Chamber of Commerce has al.
ready taken up the matter of the dedi-
cation with Chief Forester Graves sno
the Department of agriculture. and ii
il thought that there will be little
trouble in putting the matter through.
The improvement of the National
park will be begun as soon as the
weather permits, and joint commit
tee appointed from the forestry servic.
and from the Chamber Of Commerce,
at the suggestion Of Chief Forester
Graves. will begin considering plans
for the development of the park at
once.
The land included in the new reserve
was open to lease entry for perioos up
to 30 years by private individuals.
When the Chamber began its canpsigI
there were more than dozen applica-
tions for entry in the Eagle Creek dist
rict alone, and movements were o.,
foot which would speedily have thrown
the whole of it into what would prac.
tically have amounted to private own
ership, under government leases.
One of the plans for development of
the park is the establishment of SUM-
mer camping facilities in Eagle Creek
which will be available to the public at
practically no cost. The committee
believes that this can be developed in
time for next summer.

PREMIUM APPLES -

"Apples that win demand q premium

son to take care of the trade than has

receive from apple merchants in many
markets letters thanking US for the
care we have given our pack and for
the preparation we have given ship
ments."
All cars of sppl shipped from Hood
River this season have been fitted with
paper Innings and fully insulated with
false a os. The fruit has been taken
care of safely without resorting TO car
heat,rs.
I'VE have never found the heating
service very reliable" says Mr.. Sieg.
The cars are usually heated as far as
Chicago. and between that point and
New York no heat is used As q re.
suit. at least we have found il so by
experience, the fruit becomes damaged
en- route to New York."
With the exception of some apples
that are beirR held for the Pacific
coast trade all the Associations stock
of red varieties have been cleaned up.
Newtowns have been going out this
week at the rate of Is sto 80 cars per
day for export to England. Norway
ard Holland. The Associations crop
of Newtowns will reach approximately
300 carloads. Mr.. Sieg states that
space for foreign shipments has been
reserved IS late as March.
The local crop will be cleaned up
earlier this season than every before in
the history of the valley.
This is due," says Mr.. SieR, "to
the splendid cooperation that has been
maintained between the local Office and
that maintained In New York under
charge of h. +. Davidson, who has
booked the space for export ship

western Newspaper Union News Service.

London, July 3.-The British and
French troops, thrown forward in
grand offensive against the German
lines on both sides of the river
Somme, sixty miles north of Paris,
have penetrated at one point to a
depth of five miles; taken several
villages and captured labyrinth of
trenches extending to depth of l.
600 yards on front of seven miles.
The town of Albert was the starting
point of one of the fiercest thrusts,
the British advancing from east OF
the town to Montauban, more than
five miles away. Besides MOntauban
and Serre, the villages of Hebuterne,
La Boisselle and Mametz have been
captured.
All through tho night the great
British and French offensive which
began Saturday morning continued
with intensity and there was no dimi-
mutton in the battle on Sunday. Botn
British and French war offices re-
port a steady advance at certain
points, but speak of the formidable
German resistance. Fricourt, an i'm
ortant town, three miles east of Al
bert, has fallen to the British arms,
while the French have taken Curlu,
which lies to tie southeast. The
fighting at the southern end of the
British line, where it is in contact
with the French, is of the fiercest ma
ture, tremendous artillery action pre-
ceding all the infantry attacks. The
French have taken about 5000 prison
ers according to the latest estimates,
while the British, though reporting
the capture of $500, later declared
that the estimates were too low. Ow-
ing to the nature of the battle 1t is
not doubted that the casualties are
very high.
Notwithstanding the terrific offens-
i've against them in the SOmme river
region the Germans have not ceased
in their efforts around Verdun. They
have bombarded several of the Ver-
dun sectors and have launched infant
ry attacks against the French
trenches.
