LOCAL ROAD COST

Those interested in the construction
of better trunk line road for the
Hood River valley, have compiled a
startling lot of statistics that the Gla-
cier will herewith present for what
they are worth. 1t seems to US that
they should:be worth a good deal. And
added to the benefit of getting a re-
duced cost on apple transportation, we
also stand the good chance of securing
federal aid on our road construction.
The startling statistics follow:
One million boxes of apples; 10, 600
wagon loads of 100 boxes each. Every
one produced at an elevation of over
$50 feet above the railroad station at
Hood River. Fifty million pounds of
apples and boxes. All these apples,
and the boxes have to get down to the
railroad station.
Seven million pounds of boxes have
to be hauled up this hill. Say nothing
of getting the boxes up the hill, it
costs an average of five cents per box
to get them down the hill. 1t costs
5000 to haul the apples to the rail-
road, an average haul Of .07 miles per
box; $500, 900 to haul them from Hood
River to New York, 5000 miles. an sv-
erage haul of as miles per box. 1t
costs s.0057 per box per mile from the
orchard to the railroad. by wagon /;
s.O002 per box per mile from Hood
River to market, by rail.
1t costs only $1,000 as much to haul
by rail as it does by wagon, owing to

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING

With the great European war as an
object lesson, the people of this coun.
try are vitally interested at the pres.
ent time in proposed measure tha,
will provide for a universal military
training after the Swiss or Australian
system. To those citizens of the
United States who have stopped long
enough to give the matter clear
thought, such system appears the
only thing.
W. H. Cowles, publisher of the Spo.
kane Skokesman-Review, has sent to
all Northwest publishers brief state
ments by our presidents and military
authorities.
Citizen soldiery," says Mr.. Cow les,
means our safety from invasion by
foreign foes without imposing on US
the militarism of a large standing
army. Owing to the lessons of the
European war, our citizens will ap-
prove legislation for universal training
if publishers give them a clear under
standing of its democratic and bene-
fetal influence. Military subjects will

LOGANBERRIES

Hood Rivers loganberry fever. news
of which was first chronicled in a re-
cent issue of the Glacier. may be fine
"maIady" for the Apple Valley. and
the day may come when Hood River
loganberry juice will be as famous as
its Yellow Newtown cider, its dried
loganberries as noted as its sun and
frost kissed apples. OF course. To-
cranberry industry, or for that matter
any other industry, can never eclipse
that of apple growing. but it may
prove of great importance as a profit
able secondary industry.
Loganberries, grown in the Hood
River valley, have aroused the interest
of experts. 1t is said that they possess
a greater amount of sugar than fruit
grown in other Northwestern com.
munities, this condition being due to a
fertile quality of local soil. The fruit.
Furthermore, because of an aridity of
mosphere, not too much but just
enough. has a body that appeals to
Gamers and evaporator men. And the
juice of local berries, it is declared,
has tang that cannot be equaled by
other juices. All of the foregoing
statements may be discounted little.
and it remains that the Hood River
loganberry is of superior quality.
Loganberries. as sideline for orch
ardists of the Upper Valley commune
ties, may supplant straw berries. While
the Upper Valley strawberry is often
of superior quality and better ship
per than the fruit grown on the lower
areas, Upper Valley berries reach ma
turity on the close of the market.
Louisiana berries appear in the late
winter. Then follows quickly Florin
fruit. A succession of harvests. from
districts on down through the list of
Kennewick, White Salmon and hood
River, keeps the berry consumer well
supplied. By the time the fine Upper
Valley berries are making their ap.
pearance. the consumers appetite is
losing its former keen edge for straw
berries. A man relishes a quail or
two, but no one, it is learned from ex-
perience. can eat quail day for 80
days. Thus the fine Upper Valley
ruit fails to produce the proper return
to growers.
But Upper Valley loganberries, we
are told, will be superexcellent. and no
delay in their maturity will affect
their marketability or the return to be
garnered by the grower.

increased quantity hauled. and lack OF
grades. A railroad couldn't do business
at any price il it had to haul its cars
over FIVE per cent grades. A five per
cent grade is pie for a team, even
though its down hill. II isn't hauling
the apples down hill that counts, its

Saving one half the time getting
10, 900 empty or half empty wagons
back up the hill at half hour saving
per wagon is S2500 per year. Hard
surface this FIVE per cent grade which
the wagons should have to haul over
and another $500 would be saved per
year in wear and tear, as well as in
creased time, and $4,000 is low: $4,000
year would be saved In the way the
fruit would keep on account OF lack OF
bruises that come from bumps.
A saving of SIC, 900 year would pay
the interest on S176, 900 Of bonds to
build the five per cent grade and hard
surface it.
But the individual says: "It would
not cone into my pocket. But 1t
would, Mr.. Individual. The truth is.
you would save twice what your share
of interest money would be. 1t is not
in big amounts that the saving would
come. The wear and tear is not in $40
clips, but in the broken buckle. the
busted tug, the loose apple rack. the

Why does the railroad paint the TO-
600 gallon tank just west of the pas
senger depot every year? Figure it
out. Why do they have track walker?
Why, oh why, do they keep every little
detail of their system right up to the
notch every minute? In order to haul
apples at OO02 per mile, that's why.
And the most important thing is the
road bed and the grade. That's the
starting point of railroad.

We urge that readers of the Glacier
read in another column of this weeks
issue an editorial clipped from an Ore
gonisn of one morning last week. The
suggestions are made primarily in the
interest of state roads, but the sams
principles will apply just as directl,
here in Hood. River county, where ever
now we are working toward better
ment of q road working system. As Il
the case throughout the state. there il
a local need for greater cooperation
and more of a concentration of the ex

LET Us HOPE

Let US hope that the meeting called
by the county court for Saturday, Sep
tember %, will be representative
one. Let US hope that a free discussion
of the proposed inauguration of more
efficient system of highway construc-
tion will take place. Let US hope that
discussion will emanate from opinions
based on reason, and that no prejudices
of former factionalism will display it.
self at the meeting. If our hopes are
realized, the meeting will have been of
benefit and profit to the people of Hood
River county, whatever plan of road
construction may be adopted.
On the whole the Glacier can see
nothing other than good from the plan
proposed by the committee of "a to ar
range the system of working Hood
River county roads. Under the exist
ing methods with its many supervisors
and numerous road districts, notwith.
standing the fact that some excellent
work has been accomplished in Hood
River county.in the past several years,
it is impossible to secure the coordina-
ton or cooperation for the best and
most efficient expenditure of road
funds. In other words. there is no way
of linking up work on highways
throughout the county. There is GER
tain decentralization about the super
visor system that necessarily leads to
an economic waste.
II the new system is adopted one
thing, more than anything else, will be
necessary. An engineer, efficient as a
road builder and possessed of executive
abilities, must be placed in charge of
the task.

Director CordIey Is Optimistic

Director A. B. Cordley, of the Ore
gon experiment station, who left Tues
day after an inspection of local ORCH
ards and the work of the local branch
of the station. declared that he had
never since he had been making visits
to the Hood River valley seen a more
abundant or cleaner crop of apples than
that now hanging from the trees. Di-
rector Cordley stated that apple grow
ers of the mid Columbia district should
feel optimistic over marketing pros
poets.
Director Cordley also congratulated
fruit growers of southern Oregon. 81

he stated, "and while the yield down
there will not be as great as that of

SOULS OF CORPORATIONS

You can usually determine the popu-
larity of railway company in COM
munity by finding out the standing Of
the local agent and his assistants. II
the general agent, the ticket agent
and the freight agent are popular men,
then you may take it for granted that
the people of Bagville swear by the F.
& X. line. If the men are disliked.
then you will nearly always hear csus-
tic criticism directed against the rail
system.
These workers form the many souls
of the corporation. For an example
take the local popularity Of the O.-W
R. & N. 20. Of course, the general
policies of the great system and the
spirit of the progressive men at the
helm of affairs has much to do with the
good feeling of the Hood River public
toward the O-.W. R. & N. The general
officers make frequent visits here.
They show an interest in Hood River.
But the travelling public brushes up
against the men down at the ticket
office, and these servants of the O..W.
R. & N. Co. register with their accom-
modations. The boys down at the
freight Office leave a feeling of good
fellowship with the valleys shippers.
Thus the O.-W. r. & N. Co. stands
mighty high with the Hood River
public.
In a recent address Fairfax Harri-
son, president of the Southern Rail.
way, gave the following description Of
the attributes needed by successful
rural railway agent:
In addition to having the qualities
which make for success in the manage.
nent of a general merchandise store,
he must be a telegraph operator, q
rough-and-ready lawyer. a first-aid
surgeon, a substitute for a certified
public accountant, pretty good bank
president, political economist, peace
maker, a captain of men in action, AND
an organizer of victory. He must in.
terpret and do his best to enforce q
multitude of detailed and often OBJ.

and by public regulating authority as
we'll as those which originate at the
railroad headquarters. He must have

qualify him for robe and a harp and
a seat in Heaven longside of Job him.
self. and, with all this, he must be a
self respecting citizen, church mem.
ber, and rear a family on a modest
wage.
The crouch is not needed by railway
companies. Yet you will sometimes
find him. Recently the crowd at the
local station were attracted by the
shrill cries of little boy about six
years old. The child was not used ia
riding on trains. He was of nervous
temperament, and when the brakeman
started to pass him up the steps of the
open vestibule, the little fellow lost
control and sobbed for mama. Now
that brakeman could have acted in
such way as to have made a lifelong
friend for the O.-W. r. & N. Co. out
of that little boys mother. He should
have been sympathetic. But instead,
he was peeved and expressed in a stage
whisper that he would like to have
charge Of the brat for short time, in.
timating that he would apply generous
doses of strap oil. That brakeman was
handicapped by a crouch.

Sand FOR
CLASS MAKING

The production of glass sand in
the United States increased very
materially in 1915, as compared with
1914. The demand for window.
plate and wire glass was strong and
there was n considerable export
trade in glass bottles, as we'll as
fiat glass.
The production in Missouri. Ohio,
and Pennsylvania was slightly less
than that in 1914. The greatest in.
crease was in Illinois and Indiana.
IL is notable that Indiana, which uro.
duced only 1,S42 short tons of glass
sand in 1913, made a yield of 36,917
tons In 1914, and in 1915 increased
the tonnage nearly 300 per cent over
that of the previous year.
The total production of these 5ev.
en- states in 1915 was an increase CT
nearly 100000 tons over 1914.

A NAMElESS
PAINTING

Perhaps the most unique of recent
complimentary tokens to the trade
is the beautiful colored hanger being
sent out to the motorcycle list by
The B.. +. Goodrich Co., of Akron,
Ohio. 1t is a nameless painting ny
the late Mr.. A. b. Frost one of the
last works of that famous artist. In
fact the work was left unfinished by
the master but was later taken up
and finished by his son, Mr.. John
Frost.
The picture has no title but 1t 10
easy to read the story. The town
e"nstaSl has evidently hailed the
dapper feminine motorcyclist for
speeding. But the maiden's appeal.
ing look OF injured innocence has
gotten the old constable foul and the
wheels Of justice seem in dire dan
ger of %clogging.
The painting is handsomely repro
duced by the American Lithograph
Company in beautiful, soft and wei
blended colors. The hanger bears
no printed advertisement, although
