The way of the transgressor is a
hard one-if not here, hereafter he will
receive his proper metes. The automo-
bile driver who burns up the streets
during the late hours of night and fur
ther offends his fellow men by con-
stantly sounding a siren pitched to a
ridiculous note is most assuredly a
transgressor. And if you happen to be
awakened some night by his foolish
activities you will be at once definitely
convinced that st. Peter will say, may,
nay," when he drives his noisy motor
to the gates of gold. 1t is said that
the arch fiend has sense of humor,
and when the man who has tormented
ceaselessly during mortal moments by
footing his motor siren is once within
the bounds of hades, Satan will evolve
punishment fitting the crime. And
there will be no police officers to stop
the Devil. The victim will be feasted
and glutted with meat and drugged
wines, just enough to bring on feel
ing of delicious drowsiness, and then
when he is lying on soft couch just
ready for the embrace of Morpheus,
his sleep will be held forever from him
by the combined braying of jackass,
the hoot of an owl and the cry of
peacock,

A HURTFUL IMPRESSION

The impression that has somehow
gained report here during the past sew
eral days, that the luncheons that have
been held by leaders Of the Red Cross
movement were being paid for by
funds that have been raised by the
Chapter, has been very hurtful. 1t
is injurious to the Red Cross and hurt
full to the public spirited, patriotic
men who are donating their time to
the great humanitarian work.
The Red Cross men find that they
can accomplish the work they have
planned most easily by meetings.
They gather at luncheons, or dinners,
where problems are threshed over.
The men themselves pay for their din
ners. These meetings are character
lied by their very seriousness.
The charge, too, has been made that
too much of the Red Cross fund is
spent in needless extravagances. This
is far from the fact. The cost of ad-
ministration will be phenomenally
small. While the Red Cross is char
tered by Congress and its books are
audited annually by the War Depart
ment, the cost of administration would
be much heavier were it an official
branch of the government. As it is a
large percentage of the big tasks Of
the humanitarian organization are done
out of public spiritedness and whole
hearted patriotism of some of the ma
tion's leading men and women.

JAP MAN WORSTED
in FRESHET BATTLE

The battle of T. Matsumoto, a jap
anese lessee of the fertile lowland
acres of the F. H. Button ranch,
against the Columbia river freshet was
lost Tuesday morning, when the stream
broke his dikes and flooded 10 acres of
truck garden. For the past month
Matsumoto has been pumping out wa
ter that seeped through his dikes with
a battery of gasoline engines, driven
night and day.
F. H. Button, the Japanese mans
landlord, estimates the freshet damage
at $1,000. Mr.. Button says the river
is now higher than it has been since
1900.
The river, after reaching the highest
point since 1900 night before last, be-
gan to recede.
The Bailey Gatzert, because of the
freshet closing the Cascade locks, was
forced to lay off yesterday. She is ex-
pected to come up the river on her
usual trip today.

ANOTHER CAR DAM
AGED ON HIGHWAY

Following another bad accident Mon
day afternoon at the top of Ruthton
Hill grade on the Highway. automobil-
lists have petitioned that large sign
be placed on the Highway just east of
a bad turn in the road overlooking a
steep precipice. The car damaged Mon
day belonged to Mr.. John Kister. of
Ritzville, WASH, who with his fam
lily was motoring to Portland. The
road at the east approach to the Ruth
ton hill grade is in fine shape, and
tourists, not knowing of the sudden
bad turn, are accustomed to take the
stretch at good clip. Mr.. Kister
was not aware of the right angle turn
until on it. He applied the brake with
the result that his car skidded into the
fence and barely missed going over
the grade.
A sign placed near the dangerous
grade is said to have been obscured by
growth of bushes. County Judge Blow
ers declares that authorities will take
precautions to prevent repetition of
the recent serious accidents.

II. R. CANNING CO.
SEEKS COOPERATION

With the opening this week Of its
fourth season in canning Hood
River strawberries and other
fruits, the Hood River Canning Com
pany, operated by Messrs. Cloud and
Larkin, seeks the cooperation of
Hood River people In making this 10
cal industry successful. Arrange
ments have been made this season
whereby any member of the Apple
Growers Association desiring to de-
liver his canning berries to the can
merry can do so by securing a release
from the Association. When berries
of this grade are delivered to the
Association, it is likely that they
may be shipped to the cannery at
The Dalles and the local factory calls
the attention Of local ranchers to the
fact that by delivering their canning
berries direcly to the Hood River
Canning Company that enterprise
will be encouraged and the money
for labor, ETC., will be kept at home.
Messrs. Cloud and Larkin hope
that there will be sufficient local
help to operate the factory during
the present season. 1t is their pol.
icy, they state, to employ all local
help. 1t is only when this is impos
sible that they look elsewhere for
employees. The group of cottages
which have been erected this year
will be used only in case it is found
necessary to secure employees from
Portland or other outside points.
For the convenience of local EN-.
ployes, bus will be run again tnls
year from the factory to the baseball
park and back both morning and
evening.
The management is making it as
comfortable and pleasant 1or their
employees as possible and they have
this year installed number of COM
forts and conveniences with a view
to making it a pleasant place in
which to work.
1t is planned this year to PACK
strawberries, cherries blackherries
and raspberries (if they can be Sc.
cured in sufficient quantities), string
beans, prunes and Bartlett pears.

seems to be the case this year. 1t

WOOlpert Talks Apples
White Salmon, June 10, 1917,


To the editor: Your statements in
the Glacier last week reciting my an
relative to shipments of
apples by Dan Wuille & Co. would mis-
lead your readers. We do expect to
import apples into England this fall
under permit issued by the Board of
Trade as all other English importing
houses will do. England recognizes
fruit as food, as well as Mr.. Hoover,
and must have necessary amount of
it. We also will export apples to Aus
tralia, South America and the Scandi-
navian countries, where we have
branches. These countries will be
supplied with Hood River apples, not
because of the British embargo of
fruits, but in addition to our English
markets. Very truly,
