HANNUM WILL BE
ASKED FOR REFUND

County Commissioner j. o. Hannun,
who at the time of asking for the open
ing of the road, made bond to guaran-
tee costs that might accrue to the
county, will be called upon to refund the
expense of litigation over right of way
in which the commissioner was inter
ested in the Upper Hood River Valley.
Going contrary to an opinion expressed
on two different occasions by District
Attorney Derby. E. E. Stanton, for
mer county judge, and the commission
ers allowed the opening Of the road.
Judge W. L. Bradshaw has sustained
writ of reviews asked for by l.. B.
Thomas and +. l.. Rosebrough through
Attorney Hartwig. Upper Valley
ranchers and neighbors of Commission
er Hannum, and the former order Of
the county court has been vacated and
voided.
The right of way in question was
part Of proposed route connecting the
Upper Valley highways with the snow
line of Mount Hood at the foot of
Cooper's Spur. A fund was subscribed
and construction work on the road was
begun last summer. Because of the
litiagtien, however, many refrained
from making subscriptions. A new
right of way will be secured and with
litigation eliminated, it is predicted
that the raising of fund to complete
the mountain highway will be stimu-
lated.

LOCAL SHRINERS GO
TO CEREMONIAL

A large delegation of local members
of the Mystic Shrine, participating in
mecca that called thousands of the fez
from all parts of the Northwest and
prominent members of temples in other
parts of the United States, journeyed
to Portland the latter part Of last
week to attend AL Kader Temples GER
emonial Saturday night. Ninety three
initiates progressed by slow stages
across the burning sands until they
finally reached an ultimate oasis and
while they rested beneath the stade Of
palms were refreshed with zem zem. or
milk of the camel, beverage beloved
by all true shrineTs.
The ceremonial was no doubt the best
ever held on the Pacific Coast, and the
local men returned much refreshed by
c0pious draughts of gem zem and i'm
pressed by pleasant incidents that will
long remain in their memories.

S. P. co. BUILDING
new REFRIGERAIORS

announcement is made by the South.
ern Pacific Company that it is having
built for the Pacific Fruit Express 270O
new refrigerator cars to be delivered
next April. in time for the last of the
orange crop and the beginning Of the
deciduous fruit crop. The additional
cars will give the Pacific Fruit Express
total refrigerator equipment of Is. !.
500 and will effectually prevent a 1917
shortage of refrigerator cars, even
should the demand for them be as
great as in 1916.
The new cars, according to General
Agent J. W. McClymonds of the ex-
press company, are of special model
worked out by the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press and government experts. They
are designed to enable growers to send
their fruits and vegetables east in
sound condition. reaching the market
without injury or deterioration. As
fast as the other cars are repaired OF
rebuilt they will be remodeled to the
new standard.
sour cars, says MIR. McClymonds,
shave been SO we'll built that we found
last year. when facing the car shortage
situation, that they could be loaded to
greater capacity than ever. For ex-
ample, the boxes Of fruit we're placed
seven wide and two high, with total
of 4e2 boxes to the car. Previously
the loading was only 1896, 80 we got an
increase in car service of six per cent.
Had we had last season the new equip
ment that has just been ordered the
car situation would have been greatly
helped for we can use the cars for box
hooks or other dry commodities that
will not injure the interior of the car.
In other words. if necessary we can
use them for other loading than fruit.

ate Dee Mill at Full Capacity
the Coming Season

When the year 1917 ends the line of
the Mount Hood Railroad Co., which
will eventually, according to officers of
the Valley route, terminate on the
banks of the beautiful lake, will be
two miles nearer Lost Lake. A crew
Of 40 men passed through Hood River
the first of the week en- route to the
Upper West Fork, where they will
begin construction of link of the two
new miles Of road. which will be built
primarily to tap the timber holdings of
the Oregon Lumber Co. along the Up
per West Fork of Hood River.
The Oregon Lumber Co. is expecting
to operate its big electrically driven
mill at Dee the coming season at full
capacity. The mill, with a daily ca.
pacity of l6O, 900 feet, will be opened
as soon as snow will permit logging.
The logs are hauled over a 10 mile
stretch of road from the forests to the
mill.
Strips OF timber will be left along
the streams of the southwestern part
Of the county and along prospective
routes Of scenic mountain highways.
Provisions have been made to preserve
the virginal forests that border on
Lost Lake, and bill has been intro
dudced in Congress by Representative
Macarthur, that will permit the Oregon
Lumber Co. to exchange holdings on
the lake for other government land
areas in other parts of the country.
1t is optimisticslly predicted that in
no long distance in the future sum

Lost Lake. which according to lovers of
the scenic points of the Cascades. has
beauty, because of its setting with
Mount Hood as a background, as rare
as that of Crater Lake.

is sufficient for thorough inspection.
The court will settle the matter at the
regular February term.

WOMEN OBSERVE
RED LETTER DAY

The Hood River Womsn's Club OBJ.
served "Red Letter" day, the annual
celebration of the inauguration Of a
scholarship loan fund, at Library hall
yesterday afternoon. cred Letter
Day" has always created great in
terest among local club women. Five
girls have been assisted by the organ
ization in obtaining degrees from insti-
tu,ions of higher education.
The scholarship loan fund day was
observed simultaneously by all feder-
ated clubs throughout the state. Mrs
Chas. n. Castner, president of the
Federation, states that she considers
the work of raising the loan fund as
the most important event undertaken
by the organization of women. A total
of l0l young women have been assisted
in receiving a higher education by the
affiliated clubs of the state.
Mrs. William Munroe was chairman
of the committee in charge of the event
held here at Library hall. Twelve ta-
bles, each presided over by club wo.
man, were set for cards. and toasts
were responded to by entertaining

state that they will expect Hood River

The county initiative bill reduced the

salary provisions. Under the spokes.
IN anship of A. l. Mason. local citizens
have written the local legislative dele
cation asking for the immediate intro.
duction of bill, providing for
salaries not in excess of those included
in the 1914 initiative measure. Mr..
Mason says that the county officers
should not be paid salaries in excess of
those of the initiative bill, since they
autom matically, in MIR. Mason's estima-
tion, accepted the terms Of the bill
decreasing their salaries when they
became candidates for the respective
Offices. The county officials, however.
that this is not 80. since they we're
fully informed prior to the election
that the initiative bill would probably
be illegal through an opinion rendered
by Attorney General Brown.
Efforts to secure a bill from the leg
islature in confirmation of the 1914
initiative bill will be contested by the
local county official.
IL feel, says Sheriff johnson. that
reduction in the salary of my Office
will be unfair. At the time the local
initiative bill was adopted my office
was relieved of the responsibilities and
duties of tax collections, placing it in
the office of the county treasurer. but
at the session OF the legislature follow
ing the adoption of the bill, the Legis-
lature again placed the burden on my
office, and the 81, 200 per annum is not
commensurate with the work."
Messrs. Wickham and Shoemaker
maintain that their salaries, in COM
parison with those of other counties.
are unreasonsbly low, and that they
are not paid as much as the work and
responsibilities of the offices demand.
The Hood River County initiative
salary bill also affects back salary OF
