WHAT TO GIVE

From remarks that some Of the men,
recently here on furlough, have made,
we wonder if the boys Of 18th Co. have
not been surfeited on the numerous
delicacies that have been sent them by
local friends. Certainly. the soldier
lads have appreciated those gifts of
good things to eat. but would it not be
better for us hereafter to use a little
discretion in our giving? Except. per-
haps, for fresh fruit, and Hood River
has the best in abundance and the sol
diers should get generous share, the
diet provided by government regula-
tions is well rounded out.
Judging from letters from some of
the boys and talks we have had with
others, we believe that 18th Co. men,
bers just now would appreciate mora
than anything else donations of ath
letic apparatus. or funds for the pur-
chase of such. AS some Of the men
home on furlough have expressed it,
'Ours is getting to be lazy life"
The rainy season has set in down at
Fort Candy, and if the boys have moth
ing to do time is going to hang heavily
on their hands. In the news from
Fort Candy this week we note that an
old building has been turned into a
gymnasium. II Hood River people de-
sire to do something that will really
have a lasting benefit for the boys, let
them assist in equipping this gym

The PRUNING SCHOOL

1t behooves the orchardists of the
Hood River valley to cooperate with
Gordon G. Brown and make the ap-
preaching pruning school success.
The proposed school is intended not
only for the man who is ignorant of
this important field of orchard work,
but to give an opportunity to the man
who has solved many problems an OPP
portunity to pass on to his neighbor his
information. A corps of faculty mem.
bers from the Oregon Agricultural
College will be here, and their lectures
will be invaluable.
However. as we have suggested
above, one of the finest features of the
proposed pruning school will come from
the discussions that growers will enter
into among themselves and the college
experts. II growers take the proper
interest the school should be clearing
house for vast lot of useful informa-
fiOO

THE Y. M. c, A. FUND

Who of us needs further evidence of
the need of the Y. M. C. A. fund that
is being raised this week and its bene-
fits? The campaign is held under gov
ernment supervision. The plans of the
Red Triangle in maintaining morale
and morals has been tried and found
indisputably the best that can be de-
vised.
We have the word of hundreds upon
hundreds of soldiers themselves in
commendation of the work that the
army Y. M. c. A. has done and is un-
dertaking. No one should hesitate to
support the movement to the utmost.
And it is heartening to see the spirit
with which Hood River is responding
to the call for Y. M. c. A. funds.

A SCHOOL FOR ADULTS

Have you noticed at recent public
meetings attended by the school chill
dren of the valley how the little boys
and girls sing with fervor all of the
verses of our national airs, while we
elders after the first verse or two
stumble and humble and bog down and
get red in the face?
Of course, it would be impossible for
some of US ever to learn successfully
to carry the tune, but we need a school
to teach us the words of all our nation
al airs.

partner in a Baldwin enterprise. But
he admitted that counsel had such
intentions, to his knowledge. 'Coun-
sci wanted to get the facts" said
Walla at the end of a heavy volley
Of questions from Attorney George
w. Thorpe of jamestown. Counsel
didn't want either Hall or myself to
know that witnesses were there"
Walla denied knowledge that Burns
detectives were to be employed to
occupy an adjoining room in the
Walla residence during the CONVEX
sation with Hall, TO get something
on the secretary Of state" He did
not recall having asked Holiday, IL
questioned by Hall, to advise the lat
ter that Mrs. Walla and her children
were in Baldwin, with view to con-
vincing Hall that he would be alone
with Walla IL he visited his home.
Counsel told me-" declared WaIla,
nothing was to come out in this
examination but the facts. / don't
know who the witnesses were to be.

wasn't 1t true that you waited
until you found out what line of de-
Tense the state was to make before
you made up your mind in the at
torney generals Office to appear as
witness here?" demanded Thorpe.
b Walla declared 1t was not true.
Walla didn't know Of the presence
of any concealed witnesses upon an
occasion when Hall and his attorney,
w. II. Stutsman, visited the Walla
home. There were none there unless
counsel had them there" shouted
Walla.
Talks Of poubIs.eross.
Walla admitted he had told his
counsel he was to have a talk with
Stutsman. On the subject OF alleged
Intermediates from the attorney
generals Office having visited Walla,
on questions from Thorpe, the Wit
ness said: Frank Wilder came to
me. I don't know whether it was on
his own initiative or whether he was
sent. Hall had told me that Wilder
had been promised the secretaryship
Of the state board OF regents, and
that he was not to be confided in.
Forty or fifty people came to me at
different times and told me Tom was
trying to double-cross me-"
Deposit Of Cash Proposed.
Walla would not state positively
under oath, but he did not think that
he proposed to Stutsman that $1,000
be concealed in a secret drawer in
the automobile registration depart
ment of which only the witness
knew: and that Ii be accidentally
discovered there by Bank Examiner
Waters.
Walla did not recall telling stuts-
man that he was going to have
LANCER come to the Walla domicile
and have stenographer in another
room during his interview with
LANCER and get the goods on Lang
err"
Walla did not recall mysterious
references to the governor OF the
state having an interest in this prose-
cution," nor Of having the governor
come down to the house and trap
ping the governor"
Walla was very positive that no
body sin the attorney generals Of
fee ever made a proposition to him
to testify in this case, and he would
be let off with a misdemeanor."

trips. He got money from the tin
quite frequently during this cam-
pafgn, giving checks and slips in ex-
change.
Hall told me once during 1917 he
would have to get busy and take up
his checks"
WalIa told about a deal with
Frank GARNER of near Baldwin for
the purchase of some calves in which
he testified Hall obtained first $50
and later $28 from the automobile
registration currency. Walla offered
to assume responsibility for $50 Of
the automobile funds, providing Hall
accepted his offer to go fifty-fifty on
the deal
Lobbying Expense.
During the legislative session or
1917, Mr.. Hall got some money every
day. He came TO me at the beginning
of the session and asked me how
much currency had, / told him it
was pretty early in the season and
there wasn't much currency coming
in. He asked me il / had $3.50. 1
didn't, so he gave me his check for
that amount and took what / had in
the cash drawer and from day TO day
came in and got more, which was
charged against this check until the
full amount had been taken out.
HAL told me 1t was costing him q
lot OF money TO do some lobbying for
an insurance bill for a company for
which he was state agent, and he was
kicking because they hadn't come
across"
WaIIa Got "Leary."
Later in 1917 the secretary OF state
came in and collected all his slips
and checks from Walla and informed
him he was going to borrow some
money and take them up. Time drag
ged along and the money didn't come
in. and, said Walla: Il got leary'
about the checks and slips and went
into Halls private Office one day
when nobody was about and made a
list of all that found lying in his
safe"
This list was presented in evil
dence. 1t totaled $2,0S6.75, and did
not include all of the slips and checks
which WaIla had turned over to Hail.
and which Walla later saw destroyed
by Mr.. Hall when the latter turned
over currency in the amount of $500
for them.
Two trips made by Hall to Mime
apolis in March, 1917, were financed
from the automobile registration
funds, said Walla. One trip cost S45
and the other $50. During the last
legislative session Hall got about all
the currency that came into the de-
partment, in amounts ranging from
$40 to $50 day.
Examination Begins.
October 15 Hall told me an ex-
animation was being made OF the Of
fees about the building and wonder
ed If we couldn't stall it off in our
department till he had time to get
money into the till in exchange for
his checks. The same day saw Eric
Thorberg and suggested that we 30
hunting. Hall was staIling things
along while trying to get money
from Stutsman and from the Guar
anty Life Assurance CO., for which
he was agent" Walla told of hav-
ing endorsed for Hall checks made
out to employees and run through
the department because It looked
better than to make them out to
the state treasurer.

These facts were brought out our
ing the discussion Iof the request OF
w. J. Hawk, owner of the Savoy
theater building on Broadway, and
w. +. Kurke. architect. who seek to
have the present building ordinance
amended to permit the erection Of q
canopy in front of the building, at
the special meeting Of the city COM
mission this morning.
The commission adjourned with
out taking action.
Mr. Hawk spoke briefly in favor
OF canopies, as did Mr.. Kurlxe, the
latter declaring canopies were per-
mitted in nearly every large city,
that they were useful and orna-
mental, and were really part of the
building.
Albert r. Bergeson, OF Bergeson
e. Elliott, attorneys, created some
what OF q sensation when he an
nounced that his firm had been re-
tanned by certain parties, whom he
declined to name, to protest against
the amending of the present ordin-
ance, and declared that suits for
damages might be forthcoming
should the erection of more canopies
be made possible.
A suggestion that the ordinance
be amended to permit the erection
of canopies at the discretion OF the
majority Of the commissioners, bas-
ed on the Minneapolis ordinance,
was characterized by the commits
sioners as unsuitable for Fargo, and
would only serve to keep the COM
mission in hot water" all the time.
Canopies now up in the city were
erected prior to the enactment of
the present building ordinance.
