McALL MISSION WORK.

AT the quarterly meeting Of the
McAll Mission, which met in ST. An
drew's Church. on Thursday. IL was
decided TO work for a McAll Sunday
in the Sunday Schools and the MeAll
Mission in the church. West Church
has already promised TO enter the
work and II is expected others will
follow. Mrs Fannie Robinson pre-
sided over the meeting, and an inter-
esting report was received from Mrs
A. R. Coyle, who attended the annual
convention, held at Elizabeth, N. j., in
May. The Wilmington society sent S3'
for war relief. and would be glad OF
additional contributions.

citizen wants is the TRUTH. Then
we can be fair one to another.
l should say that the Protestants
who oppose publicity as to the Telig-
ious issue are the politicians who
want to make use Of it to serve their
own selfish purposes. For once the
rank and file Of the Guardians Of Lib
erty discovers that they are being
used politically they won't stand
for it.
The politicians are not all on one
side Of this controversy. There have
been in the past, and are now, Cath
Ole politicians who attempt to solid
fly that vote, just as there are Prot
estant politicians who attempt to So
Idify the Protestant vote. This was
demonstrated in the last mayOralty
election, and was resented by both
Catholics and Protestants.
In that election the religious issue
was the biggest issue, even though it
was the only issue the newspapers
and campaign spellbinders didn't dis
CuSS. l knew at the time, however,
that the public was discussing it even
if the newspapers were not And
down at the bottom of it all was the
matter of control Of the public
schools.
Protestant politicians made the
most of the fact that Bob Sweitzer
was a Catholic, and it was argued
against him that he would appoint
Catholics to membership on the
school board. On the other hand,
politicians who were supporting him
urged Catholics to vote for him. The
same argument was made to Ger
mans because of his German name.
The town was flooded by circulars
by both sides and partisan lines were
wiped out. That was the real reason
for Thompson's phenomenal vote.

THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE.-Wheth-
eT The Day Book is responsible for
it or not, what wanted to accom-
plish has been accOmplished-the
religious issue in connection with
the public schools has been brought
out into the open. My purpose was
not to help or harm any church or
organization, but to get the whole
truth before the public, so that the
honest citizens could arrive at hon
est conclusions. Also that the public
school system would be benefited by
the publicity.
In the hearing before the council
committee, / am sure Mrs Elizabeth
De Velde, a member of the Guardians
of Liberty, impressed all who heard
her as being a sincere friend of the
public schools and as a patriotic cit
izen who honestly believes what she
says. I believe the great majority of
members of that organization are
Just as sincere in their public pur-
pose, and the full publicity Of the re-
Ggious issue will be helpful to both
honest Protestants and honest Cath
Olics.
If the charges made by some
Guardians of Liberty that the Cath
Ole hierarchy aims to destroy the
public school system are true, then
all of us ought to know it. If they
are not true, then all of US ought to
know that. What every fair-minded

FOREST FIRE WARN

The statutory forest fire season, DUR
ing which permits for slash burning
and other precautions are required, be-
gan June l with conditions offering
little immediate danger anywhere in
the Pacific northwest, according to bull
letins received by the Western Forestry
and Conservation Association, the clear
ing house for all private and public
forest protective agencies. The wet
weather has. however, prevented the
usual spring cleaning up of loggers'
and settlers slahings, thus leaving a
greater menace when dangerous wealth.
er arrives. Except in rare cases, with
unusual care and under permit and su-
pervision, it will not be safe to burn
now before fall and the winters &C.
emulation will create serious hazard
all summer. For this reason prepara-
tions are being made for strict enforce
ment of all fire laws, especially those
dealing with clearing and with spark
emitting engines.
Warning the public of approaching
weather conducive to forest fires will
this year be recognized by the United
States Weather Bureau as necessary
service comparable to storm and from
warnings. In addition to the tele-
graphic forecasts Of hot windy weather
usually furnished the private and pub
lie patrol forces. predictions will also
be mailed to postoffices in forest re-
gions, for conspicuous posting where
they may be seen by people likely to
use fire in clearing and by campers and
travellers. A special card has been de-
vised, bearing fire precautions on the
margin.

FIRST CARLOAD OF
BERRIES SATURDAY

The first carload of strawberries Of
the 1916 season was shipped Saturday
by the Apple Growers Association.
The local crop is three weeks later than
that of last year. when the first car
load was shipped on May Is. Before
June l last year "a carloads had been
distributed by the Association.
Up to Saturday 400 pickers had been
furnished local growers by the govern
ment employment bureau, of Portland.
''We will need 200 more pickers this
week." said c. B. Green, who is asso-
ciated with X. P. Bonham in conduct
ing the local Office of the employment
bureau. At least 400 additional outside
pickers have found employment in the
valley without the governments aid,
and another estimated 400 members of
growers families are engaged in the
erry harvest.
Former years strawberry pickers
have used the Columbia river boats in
their journey here. This year many of
them have come by wagon and automo-
bile over the Columbia river highway.
With the automobile loaded down with
mattresses, stove. tents and other camp
equipment, Edward Parsons and Rob-
ert Dahlbert arrived from Portland
Saturday. With mattresses tied to the
sides of the car. and camp stools and
other articles filing the tonneau, the
machine had the appearance of NOV
ing van.

STRIKERS ENGAGE IN
PITCHED BATTLE HERE

A 10 minute pitched battle was
fought last Friday morning between
strikers participating in the general
longshoremen and deck hands walkout
at Pacific coast points and members of
the crew of the Dalles City, of the
Regulator line. The strikers, who
numbered Is, evidently came here
Thursday night aboard O.-W R & N.
trains. They rushed the river boat
Just as she was warped in at the wharf
boat. The men had been hidden in
bushes lining the river bank, and the
crew of the Dalles City was taken by
surprise. Blows were delivered with
fists and clubs and blood flowed freely
from both attackers and attacked. Al
though the IL men Of the Dalles City
were outnumbered they repulsed the
strikers, who took to bushes.
Shortly after the Dalles City, headed
for Portland, had left the wharf, the
State of Washington made the landing.
From the actions of the strikers it was
evidently their intention to attack the
latter boats crew also. but when they
saw that she was we'll manned they
changed their minds and made for the
landing of the Hood River.White Salm-
on ferry system, catching boat and
escaping to the Washington side Of the
stream. Local authorities had been
called, but before Constable Olinger
could reach the boat landing the strik-
ers had beat retreat.

FORESTRY SERVICE
WILL CHOOSE ROUTE

Hood River good roads men, with
whom W. T. Andrews, logging engin-
eer of the United States Forestry De-
partment of Portland. held conference
Tuesday afternoon over the choice Of
routes for proposed road to Lost
Lake, have left the selection of route
to the government. Following rec-
ommendation, reported Tuesday by Mr..
Andrews, by B. j. Finch, highway
engineer of the forestry department, it
is likely that the new road to the seem
ic lake region will proceed from the
end of an existing county road up Lau.
rel creek. MIR. Finch, who recently
made tentative survey of the district,
in his recommended made to Chief
District Forester Geo. H. Cecil, de-
clares that highway may be con-
structed up Laurel creek on grade
not to exceed four per cent, and that
by going greater distance three and
a half per cent grade can be secured.
Another route suggested for the Lost
Lake road leads up the West Fork of
Hood river. A number Of local men
have been supporting the latter loca.
tion of the proposed road because of
the easy grade obtainable over a trail
already cut by the government. Their
contentious. however. will be dropped
in favor of Engineer Finch's recon-
mendation, and formal letter, follow.
ing the interview Tuesday with MIR.
Andrews, has been written to Mr.. Ce.
Gil, waving local petitions as to the
routing and leaving the matter in the
hands of the government officials.
While no money is at present avail
able from federal source for the roaC
work, funds will be available on the
consummation of the contemplated sale

Growers Agency Still Considered

The proposed affiliation of the Apple
Growers Association with the recently
organized Fruit Growers Agency.
Inc, formed along lines suggested by
the Office Of Markets Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
mains subject of live interest with
the board of directors of the local sales
agencies. and despite the fact that the
Association has formerly announced
decision not to formally align itself
with the new agency, there seems q
possibility of q reversal of his action
before the marketing season begins the
coming fall. The board of directors
have discussed the problem at numer-
Gus meetings. the last Of which was
held last Saturday, when pleas we're
made for the new agency by Faul r.
Weyrauch, Of Walla Wslls. president Of
the central organization, Pref. c. !.
Lewis, of the Oregon Agricultural COL
lege, and C. E. Bassett, q representa-
tive Of the Office Of Markets. Whether
or not the deliberations with these men
has affected the Association manage
ment Manager Stone will not say. Mr..
Stones remarks on the subject, how
ever, lead to the belief that a possible
compromise affiliation on the part Of
the Association may be effected.

COMPANY
The strike at the La Kurba Cigar
Co., 229 N. State St, is still on.
Owners and agents of the La KuT-
ba Co. has spread a report that the
strike is over in hope Of inducing
dealers to resume handling the
brands the company makes, say the
strikers.
The La KuTba Co. make the Lord
Clair, La Panic, Gill Bernard and the
Chicago Motor Club brands of cigars.
A few days ago the La Kurba Co.
printed a big ad in the Druggists
Journal saying the strike was over.
Agents of the company have mean
while been making rounds Of dealers,
spreading the report that the strike
was over, say strikers.
Workers of the La Kurba Co. have
within five years found it necessary
to go on strike eight times in an en-
deavOr to secure a living wage or de-
cent working conditions.
Once the workers seem to have
won, but a branch of the company,
an open shop, was started at Benton
Harbor, Mich. This seemingly would
give the company the upper hand. It
forced the -cigarmakers in the Chica-
90 shop into another strike after it
switched the manufacture of it's
brands to the Benton HarBOr factory.
Since the workers have gone on
strike they have gummed up the
company's little game of playing one
factory against the other.
''The consistent aim of this con-
Germ has been to break up the union.
subjugate its workers and fill its cOf-
fers with the gold made from the
sweat of its Chicago cigarmakers,
and what it could not get out of them
it is trying to get out of the Benton
HarbOr cigarmakers," says the strike
committee in a statement issued to-
day.
