]. W. MORTON Is
AGAIN COMPLAINING

Although the rail automobile service
has been operated by the Mt. Hood
Railroad Co. for more than a year in
transporting passengers between here
and Parkdale in the Upper Valley,
Superintendent Ashley Wilson last
week received notice Of the first COM
plant registered with the Public Ser
vice Commission. j. w. Morton, a
local attorney, has advised the Com
mission that the rail autos are operated
by single man, who acts both as
engineer and conductor. According
to Mr.. Morton's complaint, the driver
leaves the steering apparatus at inter-
walls in order to take up tickets and
collect fares.
Mr.. Wilson has replied to the Public
Service Commissions letter, which an
nounces Mr.. Morton's complaint, with
batch of approximately so letters
from local business men and ranchers,
who claim that the fears of the attor-
ney are unfounded. The superintend-
ent is prone to look at the complaint
as practical joke. There is abso-
lutely no need for more than one man
to operate the cars" says Mr.. Wilson,
Except that an additional man might
enable US to save about a minute s
time in negotiating turntable at a
switchback. The complaint to the
effect that the driver leaves the steer
ing apparatus and allows the car to
take its own course could only be made
out of ignorance, as our rail autos have
no more need for steering gear than
locomotive. As is attested by our
passengers, all Of whom ;. have seen
having given me letters to the Com
mission, our service has been without
the least accident and is perfectly
safe

ITS LAST MEETING

Wednesday afternoon, May %,
marked the closing session of the year
of the Hood River Woman's club.
Library hall was tastefully decorated
with lilacs, wisteria and lilies Of the
valley. One table formed huge pyr-
amid of lavendar and purple flowers in
memory of our beloved Mrs. ]. P.
Lucas.
These were among her favorite
flowers. On entering, each member
was decorated with sprig of apple
blossom, the clubs flower. After a
brief business session during which
reports of the various committees were
given the newly elected officers for
the ensuing year were installed as
follows:
Mrs. Arthur Lewis, president; Mrs.
C. X. Marshal, first vice president
Mrs. Truman Butler, second vice pres
ident; Mrs. ]. w. Ingalls,, recording
secretary; Mrs. l.. B. Gibson, cores
ponding secretary; Mrs. S. E. Bart
mess, treasurer.
Mrs. Laraway, the retiring president,
in a brief address commended the
chairmen of the various departments
for their splendid work during the
year and also thanked the club for the
many courtesies extended to her. A
beautiful bouquet of carnations was
presented to Mrs. Laraway by the
club.
Mrs. Laraway in few well chosen
words passed the gavel to Mrs. Arthur
Lewis, the new president, who immed-
lately responded by outlining the work
for the coming year and reading the
appointment of the standing commit
tees. Mrs. Lewis commended the club
members for the cheerful reponse to
the work assigned to them.
Mrs. Chas. H. Castner gave help
full talk on club loyalty.
Two vocal solos were rendered by
Miss Gladys Reavis and Miss Georgia
Lynn. These sweet singers were much
enjoyed. Light refreshments and a
social hour were enjoyed. With many
good wishes for each other the club
adjourned until September.

PIONEERS REGRET
SALE OF CHURCH

Expressions of regret have been
heard from numerous valley pioneers
on receipt of news that the Belmont
Methodist church, located in the West
Side orchard district and the Oldest
exclusively religious edifice in the
Mid Columbia, had been sold to c. F.
Sumner of this city. The sale follows
official action taken by the Columbia
River Conference at Lewiston last
year.
The Belmont church was completed
in 1886. All of the work was done by
donation. M. B. Potter, local pio-
neer, did most of the carpenter work.
Rev. Frank Spaulding, who is now
retired to small ranch just west of
the city. was the church's first minis
ter. However, the edifice was used by
all denominations in the early days,
and Frederic Homer Balch, pioneer
Congregational minister and author of
.'The Bridge of the Gods"
The old church will probably be used
this fall as a storage house for apples.
Mr.. Sumner, however, contemplates
selling the lumber of the building.

STEAM THRESHER
TO OPERATE HERE

As result of the food preparednss
campaign in Hood River county, the
first steam power threshing machine
will be operated here this season to
harvest the largest crop of grain ever
seeded in the valley. j. F. Tompson
and L. M. Baldwin, Upper Valley
ranchers, returned last week from
Portland, where they purchased an
eight horse power, portable steam
engine, with which they will drive a
separator purchased from Lage Bros,
East Side orchardists, who for merly
used the machine, driven by horse
power, in harvesting their own and the
limited crop of oats. barley end wheat
of neighbors.
Mr.. Thompson says that he and Mr..
Baldwin expect to thresh at least
Is, 900 bushels of grain this summer.
The machine will be used this fall in
threshing beans, to which crop many
Upper Valley ranchers have devoted
plots ranging from five to rs acres.

T. ID. Calkins, president of the Hood
River Agricultural Defense Council
and rancher of the Frankton district,
Friday brought to the city the first
box of strawberries for the season.
The fruit, despite the recent cool
weather. was well colored and highly
favored. The berries were large.
Mr.. Calkins has been the first to de.
liver the earliest berries in Hood River
for number of wears.

VIM. S. Hart in his latest Triangle
dramatic success, 'The Gun Fighter.
One of Hart's best plays and story
just suited to the peer of all western
actors. This sensational western mel
odrama has for its theme the theory
that there is little good in the worst
of u.s." In developing his theme and
characters the author uses strong types
men with red blood and yellow-men
who face death without a wink, and
men, too, who cringe and grow pale
with fieeting sign of danger. The
story bristles with incident and action.

Ne have been hearing considerable
ak about the barrel skirt. 1t is not
graceful garment. it has great many
objections. 1t has been tried in
previous seasons and it has not been
[ound satisfactory. The attempt at
revival is easily traceable to the Revue,
now running at one of the Paris
theatres. Evidently, it is something
IF an extravaganza as plays of the
sort are sure to be, and, as matter
of course, tendencies are to be exag-
gerated. In the shortage of other
inspirations, the Paris designers have
seized upon the very extraordinary
barrel effects that are to be noted in
the costumes seen upon that stage,
and many of the advanced models
seen here give evidence of the idea.
How far they will succeed is an open
question. They are not being met
with enthusiasm as yet, and. as
already stated, assuredly they are
not beautiful. Better by far are the
skirts that are broadcned at the hips
by means of bones or by trimming
or by treatments Of some such sort
without giving that extreme hoped

cloth in plaids, showing such rich colors
as black and orange and worn over skirts
of plain color They are exceedingly
beautiful and they are in every way
distinctive. Unquestonably, the silks
are attractive, they are dainty and they
are summcr-!ikc. but perhaps the fact
that there is a. nip Of frost in the air
here, makes the wool appear little
more suitable at this writing. A very
beautiful costume shows plated skirt
of plain white wool sabardine with
typical sports coat of rose colored
khaki kool with collar and cuffs of
the skirting material. 1t is exceed
ingly handsome and it is brilliant
enough to satisfy the most exacting
taste.
In Season and Out of Season.
The one great drawback to this
sports idea, which seems to have
taken the world Of dress by storm,
is the tendency to overdo, and to
wear out of season as we'll as in season.
If the brilliant colors could be reserved
for the handsome materials all might
be well, but they are duplicated in
cotton and they are cheapened and
here in this big city at least. we will
see limitations of the handsome cos
tunes worn upon the streets for
shopping, for walking and for all sorts
of occasions where they do not belong.
AS matter Of course, they cannot be
attractive. The fact OF their brilliant
coloring renders them suited only to
the background of open spaces Of the
scashore or Of the mountains or to the
country club for which they are de-
signed. Worn upon the crowded
street with one jostling another and
in the shops and in places Of the sort
they are simply bizarre. Let us hope
that the lesson of suitability will be
taken to heart.

They really are ideal for travel, for
shopping and for the general business
of life, and they give all the simplicity

coloring. A most attractive one is of
warm grey wool jersey with just
touch of white on the collar to give
relief. Jersey cloth is constantly OK
tending its usefulness. 1t is very
attractive material, it takes beautiful
lines and folds and some of the cleverest
designers are using it for simple after

tunes.

All Forms Of Embroidery are
Fashionable.
Unquestionably, embroidery is to
continue its favor through this and
into the coming season. The advanced
models show very free use of the finish
land beads and metal threads and
threads Of silk and of wool all are to
be noted. Simple stitches seem to
be the preferred ones and great many
gowns are simply finished with designs
carried out in what we know as the
running stitch or the simple plain
stitches that are used for seams, taken
evenly, and that stitch can be used
IN plain lines or over a braiding design,
but as a matter Of course, If braiding
pattern is used the drcssmaker must
be clever enough to work over tissue,
not to transfer the design to the cloth
otherwise there will be transfe, lines
apparent to spoil the effect. it often
astonishes one how much effect can
be obtained by the very simplest little
bit of embroidery just running stitch,
Tor example, makes the most marvellous
effects and repeated rows Of machine
stitching have been utilized to make a
really distinctive finish for tailored
costume. Exquisitelv dainty gowns
show the edges outlined with en-
broidery and it is notable that there
are almost no fine stitches used for
this work upon gowns. The fine
neetlework is largely reserved for
underwear. An attractive costume

Of little daisies and their leaves. They
are worked in what we know as lazy

but upon hats One secs very charm

effect at the lower edge that always
suggests the awkwartwalk. We may
have something of the barrel sug-
gestion later, but it is doubtful if it
will take any considerable hold and
for the moment at least we may look
only for notifications of the idea. In
the hands of the expert designers, the
effect can, of course, be made attract
i've to certain extent. A very beau
tiful gown from noted Partisan house
is, for example, Of grey crepe de chine
with a euimpe Of grey chiffon. The
skirt is full and slightly draped to
suggest the barrel idea. The over
bodice is made with big arm-holes and
is prettily full over a little vestee.
The sleeves are quite novel at the
wrists, forming loose plaits that are
weighted with silver tassels The
collar OF the guimpe which is of the
chiffon is embroidered with silver and
the silver reappears at the front at
the neck edge. The girdle which is
wound twice around the figure and
simply knotted is Of grey faille en-
broidered with dull gold motifs. 1t is
a very beautiful gown, not even the
suspicion of the barrel idea can rob
it of its grace, but the idea is one that
must be handled by an expert to get
a good result.
