West Side district witnessed a yery
spectacular fire last Thursday night.
when the buildings of an orchardist
near the plant of the Northwestern
Electric Co. on the White SatImon riv-
er on the Washington side of the CO.

hills seemed to form a reflector for the
big blaze. and the West Side orchard
district was made as light as day.
The fire was seen by residents ofsthe
Upper Valley, who were alarmed.
thinking the flames came from fire in
Hood River.
The house burned belonged to E. E.
Ogilvie. Several hundred dollars worth
of furniture, the loss partially covered

GLADDEN. Suggests Neutral Packers
From Oregon Farmer)

George e. GLADDEN.. of the Pioneer
Packing House. of Hood River, Ore. +,
told the growers attending the eleventh
annual convention 0ftthe Washington
State horticultural association at North
Yakima last week that an orchardist
can hardly be trusted either TO thin or
to sort bis own fruit. The orchardist,
not the oae who buys his fruit, is the
loser. Mr.. GLADDEN. said, as the tempta.
tion to leave too many apples ron the
trees and to grade fruit too closely,
thereby placing an inferior fruit on
the market, 10 too great. un=eM
A community effort and community
packing house is the remedy offered.
Such house should have an experienced,
square-dealing superintendent. com.
pletely disinterested in the personnel
of the fruit growers whose fruit be
handles. This will tend to assure grad
ing on the bssis of quality only, and
all those speaking at the convention
said that the real problem in the north
west was to produce a grade of fruit
so far superior TO that produced in the
east that it would command top place
on the market and thereby overcome
the handicap now existing as a result
Of the greater cost of production ard
marketing western fruit.

DECISIONS OF JUDGE
ARE COMMENDED
(By c. N. Ravlin)

As q member Of the road committee
OF the Commercial club | wish to state
that the decision of Judge Blowers TO
build half mile of cement road con-
Meeting the main East Side road with
the Van Horn warehouses is one of the
most gratifying things that has come
out of our county court in many
months. Gratifying inasmuch as il
demonstrates that the spineless admin
istration with which We have been
hampered for several years is O thing
of the past; that we now have Judge
who is not afraid to do things.
This half mile in question is probably
the most important short stretch in the
county: as much tonnage passes over
that as anywhere else. At the present
time and for several weeks il has been
closed to traffic on account of mud
holes.
The county court desired to lay a
short stretch of cement road. not as an
experiment, but more as an object les.
son. and to my mind, ] believe they
have selected the right place. II re-
quired some courage at the very outset
of his administration for Judge Blow
ers to come out squarely and state that
the court would build this cement road
and to definitely settle its exact loca.
tion. We have not been accustomed to
such methods and it will fairly take
the breath away from many of our es-
timable citizens. !, for one, glory in
the fact that we have judge with a
mind of his own and who is out square,
ly in the open.
Judge Blowers attitude towards the
Columbia River Highway has won my
respect. Admitting his error in fight
ing the bond issue, although consist
emily believing ut the time that bis
course was for The best interests of |
Hood River county. the opening of the |
Highway and the great amount OF |
travel over il during the past year con.
WINGED him that the Highway was to be |
a great thing for our future prosperity.
His present attitude may be summed |
up IN the following remark. I'VE have !
SIS. 600 invested in that Highway and
am going to protect that Investment to
the best of my ability"

Trend for Several Credit Associations

While the movement is being opposed
by the Commercial club, the orchardists
of the different Hood River valley
communities are evidencing a desire
for the organization of more than one
Federal Rural Credit Loan Association
for the valley. This trend was brought
out at a meeting when the first associ-
alton of ranchers organized. All the
officers of the new association we're
chosen from the West Side. Ii was de-
clared that the work of assessing the
valuation Of farm land would be facili.
tated by the sn aller ass ociatons.
where the boards making the valua.
tions would be better versed with the
character of soil.
r. E. Scott, secretary of the Com
mercial club, thinks that the federal
loan board of the rural credits system
will require that single association
take care of the business of the Hood
River valley.

GRANGE ENDORSES
], -; :. TEST HIGHWAY

The Pine Grove grange has endorsed
the plan OF constructing an expert
mental highway on the East Side the
coming spring. A resolution adopted
by the grange last week follows:
Whereas. A committee from the East
Side has appeared before our county
court asking that one mile of concrete
base road be built on the East Side un.
par supervision of some practical en-
gineer and road builder. and
Whereas, The building Of water and
oil bound roads have proven a failure.
when their durability is compared with
their cost, and
Whereas, We feel that one mile of
such permanently constructed road.
when once built and its services sstab.
lished, will be only the beginning of
the building of more such roads in our
rural districts. - Es
: Therefore be it Resolved, That Pine
Grove Grange does most heartily an.
prove, OF the building of said one mile
Of road, and !
Be it Further Resolved, That our
secretary. send copy of these resolu.
tons TO our county court and 10 each
OF our local newspapers.

 II know what you mean" smiled Bob Scott. She regarded him ques- tioningly. He returned her gaze re- assuringly as if he was confident of his ground. Did your pony come along all right after you left the foot hills this afternoon?"
 Nan opened her eyes. "How did you know came through the foothills?"
 'I was over that way today" Some thing in the continuous smile enlight- ened her more than the word. 'I mo- ticed your pony went lame. You stopped to look at his foot"
 You were behind me-" exclaimed Nan.
