efficient telephone communication

responsible position with the Iowa

CHEAP SPARY TOWER

Tower spraying, a new method for
the Hood Rive valley will be followed
by many Hood River orchardists this
season. Leroy Childs, in his investi-
cations of the effects of srpays on ap-
pie scab last season. found that apples
at the tops of old trees, where but for
the prevalence of the fungus the fruit
should have been most perfect, were
seriously affected. Strong winds usu-
ally prevail during the spraying sea.
sons, and Mr.. Childs declares that it is
impossible to >properly reach the high
branches of fruit trees with leads of
hose operated from the ground.
d. Mcdonald, devising tower that
can be constructed on power spray ma
chimes at moderate cost, has created
a keen interest among growers. The
added cost of substantial tower for
the spraying machine has been the
source or worry for growers. Mr.. Nc
Donald's tower, which growers declare
will be practical, will cost less than
S5. Two upright timbers, two by four
inches, are bolted to each end of the
tank of the sprayer. Convenient. broad
stairs, on which the operator stands,
are bolted to these pieces. The up
right pieces, intersecting like the sides
of an isosceles triangle, are joined by
fifth two by four piece, giving the
tower the appearance of an elongated
sawhorse. The man operating the lead
of hose from the tower is enabled to
maintain his equilibrium by straddling
the connecting top cross pieces.
The newly constructed tower was
demonstrated to numerous apple grow.

Because of the construction of new

structures and general work that is
now in progress here, every laborer

employed.
II tried" says A. S. Keir, "for
several hours the other day to secure

Everybody was busy, and my work had

More than a half dozen of the lead
ing places of business are making lib
eral appropriation for remodeling and
making other improvements.
The demand for labor here is ex-
pected to exceed the supply throughout
the year. The county court last week
let a $4,000 road contract to j. G. FAIR
fowl, of Dee, and this new work will
begin at an early date. AT an approx

AUTO LICENSE BILL
WILL BE PERMANENT

C. N. Ravlin, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Good Roads AS
sociation, in reply to opponents OF the
Sc, 000,0 900 bonding act, who advance
the argument that the people have no
assurance that some future Legislature
may not rescind the special license tax
on automobiles, cites section IL of the
bonding act and declares that the
measure, if adopted, will tie the auto
mobile license bill absolutely to itself
as contract between the state and
purchasers of bonds.
The point was discussed by Mr.. Raw.
lin and State Senator Wilbur, and the
latter agreed that the point was tena-
BILE.
''This argument, says Mr.. Ravlin,
will, | think, win many recruits for
the big roads building measure. Here
tofore the only reply that one had,
when the question was raised that fu-
ture legislative assemblies might re-
scind the motor license law was to ar
que that such a procedure, after the
bonding act was finally voted on by the
people, by the Legislature would not be
probable. Under section II of the bill
itself the prospective purchasers of
bonds issued under proposed measure
are guaranteed that the interest and
principal of the bonds will be raised by
the special automobile licenses. If any
attempt is ever made to change the
law, the bondholders may prevent such
action by mandamus proceedings"
Sentiment in favor of the road bond
ing act is growing fast here The
names on the roster of the Good Roads
Association. membership lists being
circulated throughout different sections
of the county, are being increased by
scores daily. At the regular meeting
of the Commercial club Monday night,
a plan was devised whereby the men,
bers of the organization would assist
the newly formed roads organization.
The city will be divided into small sec
tions and a personal canvass will be
made to ascertain the sentiment of in
dividuals. The Woman's club has en-
dorsed the movement, and Mrs. w. f.
Laraway, president of the organiza-
tion, has announced that she will ap-
point committee of two to work with

Roads Association.
Every precinct of the county will be

deavor to make the slogan, make it
Unanimous, effective will be made.
Senator Wilbur delivered an address
yesterday afternoon before the men,
bers of the Woman's club, who met in
their annual reception to the women of
the rural communities of the valley.

Woman's club, the Woman's Relief
Corps, of which she was past presi-
dent, and of the Eastern Star. Mem
bers of the latter organization observed
ritualistic services at the graveside.
The members of Candy Post last
Saturday afternoon adopted the follow
ing resolution of coincidence for their
comrade and former commander, Mr.,
Castner:
Candy Post, No. l6, Department of
Oregon, G. A. R., March 10, 1917.
Whereas, We learn with profound
regret of the great affliction which has
overtaken our Comrade G. R. Castner,
by which we all mourn the loss of one
who was faithful wife, kind mother
and valued member of society and
the community at large,
Therefore We tender our warmest
sympathy in this his hour of bereave-
ment and desolation of his fireside, and
sincerely eondole with him in his great
loss.
Resolved, That this heartfelt testi-
monial Of our sympathy and sorrow be
spread upon our minutes and a COPY
thereof be forwarded to our afflicted
comrade.
Respectfully submitted in F. C. &
L., Newton Clark.
