RECALL PETITION
GAVE WRONG DATE

Because the petition of electors who
placed his name on the ballot in 1918,
when on November he was chosen at
recall election to supersede Geo. r.
Castner as county judge, stated that
Judge Cashiers time would expire on
the first Monday in January, 1917, the
opinion has been expressed that Judge
Stanton was not regularly elected and
that his term Of incumbency has not
been legal. According to a constitu.
tional amendment, adopted through All
initiative bill by popular vote in No
vember 1910, the terms of all judicial
Offices extend over period of six
years. Judge Castner was elected in
1912 and his term of office extended un.
til January, 1919. 1t is argued by those
who doubt the legality of the tenure of
office of Judge Stanton that the recall
petition should have embodied the cor
rect dates of unexpired term of Judge
Castner's office.
Judge Stanton, in denying street ru-
mors to the effect that be had taken
notice of the discrepancy in the petit
ton that made him candidate at the
recall election and would be a candi-
date for the county judgship at the
coming primaries, declared that in his
mind the error of the petition would
have no effect, and that his term of
office would extend Antil 1919.

The Regulator line plans TO operate
four steamers on the Columbia this
season. The Dalles City and Stranger
began their schedule this week, running
on alternate days to The Dalles from
Portland. On March l, the State OF
Washington. recently purchased from
The Dalles- Columbia line, will be put
on the river as night boat from Port
land. On May Is the Bailey Gatzert
will begin daily schedule.
This is the most elaborately planned
service ever undertaken by river line.
The recent enforced tie-up has been
of benefit to the company,in that crews
of men we're able to thoroughly over.
haul the boats.
A new ladies' cabin will be added to
the Stranger, making her passenger
accommodations equal to the larger
boats of the feet. The Stranger will
leave Portland on Mondays, Wednes-

A good many games have heen post.
poned on account of bad weather, and
it is not known when these will be
played. There should be 40 games
played in the league, while only 20
have been played off.
The last weeks practice has shown a
little different material developing and
undoubtedly different team will go to
White Salmon than that which took the
trip to Stevenson or Goldendale. Cecil
Lafferty. the high schools big Irish
guard. has been throwing baskets at
the position of forward enough to open
Coach Cohoon's eyes. Some one asked,
Brick" Lafferty after the Monday af-
ternoon practice where he had learned
to throw baskets. ''Why," said Brick,
II used to play forward with Clarie
Hale out there in the sticks at little
| place known as Odell."
"Let US pray, then." murmured this
person to himself, that Brick Lafferty
and Clarie Hale play forwards for H.
R. H. s. at White Salmon Saturday"
Leon Bentley, tennis manager, has
written to The Dalles to negotiate for a
tennis league between Stevenson, White
Salmon. The Dalles and Hood River.
1t is likely to be arranged.
Last Monday the Mascot appeared
again on the campus with it's usual stir
ring up of school spirit. This time the
cover was beautiful goldenrod color,
and attracted much attention.
Coach Wagner wishes to announce
that as soon as the present snow is off
the ground cross country running will
be stared for the benefit of those going
out for track. He also intends to do
something this year that has never
been done before in the history of the
school. He intends to begin spring
| football training about the middle of
March and keep it up for couple Of
months. This should be very beneficial
to those just learning the game. as we'll
as experts.
Coach Cohoon says baseball practice
will he begun as soon as basket ball is
over with. This will probably be inside
of two weeks.
No doubt more school spirit will be
shown around school soon when the
tennis court will be in use and the
weeds in the baseball field kept worn
down by use of the track and for base
ball.
At the last injecting of the school
board, it was decided to change the
system of credits from what it is now.
Beginning with the second semester of
the 1867 year term, person must
secure l6 credits to graduate. 1t seemed
that too many students we're being
qualified for college without actually
being competent to enter. II will meet
with some disspproval among the stu.
dents, but the board. no doubt, has
acted wisely.

Mary Pickford in Little Pal"
Little Pal" provides Mary Pickford
with one of the most unique roles in
which she has ever been presented.
The photoplay is one of primitive emo
tions and sprimal passions, and evi-
dences hitherto unsuspected aspect Of
Mary Pickford's 8 astounding versatility.
Unfamiliar with the customs of mod
ernity, and remote from all the influ-
ences which have fashioned our present
civilization, Little Pal" recognizes no
other force than the dominant love
which develops within her for the one
man who has practiced justice toward
her. Through series of thrilling sac
rifces she proves her loyalty and de-
votion toward him, and when she has
at last secured his happiness requests
no other reward from him or fate.
Mary Pickford invests this extraor-
dinary Characterization with all the
power and charm for which she is just
ly celebrated. In her moments of ten
der sollcitude for the man who has be-
friended her she is more of the inimit-
able Little Mary" than we have seen
in some time. In the situations in
which her sacrifice reaches its greatest
heights, she is veritable Bernhard,
and the expressions of suffering and
courage on her face alternating, with
fear and anxiety, which now and then
are submerged by an emotion that she
later discovers to be love, can be ac-
cepted as some of the best screen work
she has ever performed.
Assisted by capable cast. including
Russell Bassett, George Anderson and
William Lloyd. Little Pal" may be
termed one of the foremost Famous
Players-Mary Pickford triumph that
have yet appeared on the Paramount
program.

CLUB MEN OPPOSED
TO HUGE PARK

Members OF the Commercial club at
at meeting Monday night went on rec
ord as endorsing the plans Of the Port
land Chamber Of Commerce and the
United States Forestry Department in
developing a national boulevard park
along the Columbia river highway and
around Lost Lake and the base of Mt.
Hood, and simultaneously the club
members expressed their disapproval of
the recent bill submitted to congress,
proposing to form national park out
of an enormous area of forest reserva-
tion in counties bordering the base of
the states highest peak.
If the recent bill. submitted by rep
resenatives of the United States park
system to Senator Chamberlain for in
PRODUCTION into congress. had become
law, it is declared, an irretrievable loss
would have been sustained by Hood
River county. In every township in
Hood River county. within the bounds
of the park as embodied in the proposed
bill, valuable agricultural lands are
said to be located, and more than bill.
lion feet of saleable timber ia located
therein. Under the agricultural appro-
priation act of May %, 1908. rs per cent
of all moneys received from forest re-
serves shall be distributed to the state
in which the reserve h located for ex-
penditure on schools or roads; and by
similar act of 1912 10 per cent of such
receipts are made available Tor the
construction of roads and trails in the
forest reserves. 1t is said that the
timber in Hood River county may be
sold for at least 81 per thousand, and
that county would receive as it's share
of the proceeds for road construction
the sum of $3.50, 900.
In addition to this, should the bill sub
mitted by the park system have become
a law the county would lose the circula.
ton of the manufacturing cost of max
ing the standing timber into lumber,
which will reach from So to $40 per
thousand feet.
The club endorsed the campaign of
securing a naval base at Astoria,
where, in case the government takes
favorable action, the sum of So, 900. 600
will be expended.
1he organization also endorsed the
proposed bill to submit the tariff re-
vision to commission. and memorial
embodying the endorsement will be
sent to congress, Attorney Hazlett at
the Monday night meeting read
very instructive article from the North
American Review on the tariff commits
sion.
The club took no action on a com,
munication from the Portland Chamber
of Commerce relative to contributions
to the proposed Vista House to be
erected at Crown Point on the Colum.

Following the business meeting the
checker players, engaged in the tour.

Columbia Highway Damage Light

That the damage to the Columbis
river highway in this county from slides
will be far less than has been expected,
is the statement of Angus Mcdonald,
who spent the past week with Pacific
Telephone Co. crews in repairing lines
between here and Cascade Locks.
"The worst slides have occurred on
the old road," says MIR. Mcdonald.
"At Shell Rock mountain, where it was
thought slides would possibly demolish
retaining walls. the highway will be
passable as soon as the snow melts
that is, unless further slides occur"
MIR. Mcdonald says that he has
walked over the entire distance of the
highway since the snow has fallen, and
that the money in the funds of road
districts through which the road passes
will be far more than sufficient to clear
away the debris of slides.
