MANY ATTEND
SATURDAY RALLY
FIELD AGENT LAUDS LOCAL PEOPLE
Hood River Chapter of National American
Red Cross Declared One of Fore
most on Pacific

So enthusiastic was the audience of
approximately 700 people greeting him
Saturday Afternoon at the Red Cross
rally, at which was launched a cam
paign for members of the local chap
ter, that w. W. Hush, field representa-
tive of the Pacific division of the Amer
lean National Red Cross Association,
declared that at no time since he left
San Diego, Calf, several weeks ago,
had he seen any city with prospects for
a more successful organization than in
Hood River.
With members of the Hood River
Girls Honor Guard in charge of booths
at the prominent street intersections,
the entire day was devoted to the Red
Cross. The local chapter swelled its
membership more than 200 Saturday.
The afternoon meeting was formed
chiefly of rural residents The people
of Pine Grove, occupying a battery of
automobiles, arrived in the city in
body. Before attending the meeting
they paraded through the city's chief
streets.
The meeting was presided over by f.
o. Blanchar, president of the local Red
Cross Chapter. The speakers were
Rev. M. l.. Hutton, Mr.. Hush, DR.. j.
M. Waugh and Rev. Elijah Hull Long
brake.
Mr.. Hush is man whose all possess
ing sincerity is one of his chief charac-
teristics. His talk was not composed
of rounded out periods, but was strictly
business, Red Cross business. He told
of the purpose of the great humanitar-
ian arm of the government, especially
licensed by Congress to conduct relief
work, both in time of war and peace.
The laudatory words, coming from a
man of Mr.. Hush's characteristics, for
the work of organization here made a
profound impression on the people who
heard him.
DR.. Waugh explained how different
classes in Red Cross relief work might
be conducted by local women. Mrs. E.
R. Molle is chairman of the Educa-
tional committee of the organization,
and DR.. Waugh instructed women of
the valley who desired to participate
in such educational work to call Mrs.
Moller.
"Men also, said DR.. Waugh, "have
an opportunity of learning much from
the proposed classes of instruction.
All local physicians have been enlisted
to assist with the work, and instructors
will be provided for sections of work
ers in all parts of the valley"
Mr.. Blanchar announced that the
musical department of the Woman's
club would in the near future start
series of entertainments to raise funds
for the Red Cross. 1--WE know the
character of the talent of the club, "
said Mr.. Blanchar, land we are sure
that this proposed aid will be of great
benefit. "

But FEW ATTEND
ANTI-BOND MEETINGS

The meetings of c. E. Spence, mas
ter of the Oregon state grange, who
was here last week to speak at differ
ent valley points against the proposed
$4,000, 900 road bonding act, came to
close Friday night at Library hall.
Mr.. Spence's lectures against the road
bonds, the third of which was given
Wednesday night at Pine Grove grange
hall where about 40 ranchers were
present, aroused but little interest.
At Wednesday nights meeting the ar
guments advanced by the state grange
master were replied to by R. E. Scott,
of the Commercial club.
Mr.. Spence talked Thursday after
noon at the Dee grange, and Thursday
night he addressed ranchers at Park
dale. Less than 200 citizens of the
county were present at all five rural
anti-road bond meetings, and, accord
ing to declarations of supporters of the
bonding act, more than so per cent of
those wholheard State Master Spence S
lectures have been supporters of the
act.
The second meeting was held at
Odell grange hall, where about 20
ranchers heard the talks. c. d. Nick
elsen was present at the session to
make replies to Mr.. Spsnce's argu-
ments. Mr.. Nickelsen says that a
''filibuster" was set in motion against
him. The speakers did not confine
themselves to the issue, but discussed
roadmasters, sprays and other general
topics.

over voluminous documents, and when
finally had the chance to get the floor
about II o'clock, bade the Odell peo-

for the bonds, and congratulating them
on their handsome hall. | told them
my talk was short in that had to get
home and fortify myself by some sleep
for hard days work the next day.
Mr.. Spence, while here, endeavored
to win an opposition among Hood Riv-
er county voters by making the delcar-
ations that the Columbia Highway
would be undertaken only after work
of southern and eastern Oregon was
completed. Local good roads advocates
declare that Mr.. Spence's visit to the
county has caused them no worry.
"Mr. Spence's meeting" says c. N.
Ravlin, secretary of the Hood River
! County Good Roads Association, or.
ganized primarily for the aid of the
road bonding act and the membership
of which is over 80 per cent HOOD
River county grangers, "has shown us
just what strength the opposition has
here. Indeed. this opposition to the
bond issue is going to be even less
than was anticipated. Hood River
county is going to vote more nearly
unanimously for the Sc, 900, 600 bonding
act than ever on any former measure.

ASSOCIATION
IS ENJOINED
H. R. ORCHARD co. is PLAINTIFF
Court Asked to Prevent Surplus Distri-
button and Purchase Of Old
Union Plant

Papers of injunction proceedings,
filed in circuit court here Friday by
Miss Mae Davidson, secretary of the
Hood River Orchard Co., and seeking
to restrain the Apple Growers Associa-
tion from making {. distribution of an
$50, 900 surplus fund or using any of
the surplus in the purchase of the stor-
age plant of the old Hood River Apple
Growers Union, were served Friday
afternoon on members of the board of
directors of the Association.
The litigation follows recent de-
mand made on the Association for a
distribution of the surplus fund by
about Is growers who cancelled their
contracts and severed their member
ship with the sales agency prior to
March 20 of this year. While the AS
sociation denied the demands on the
ground that rights to portion of the
surplus had been forfeited when men,
bership ceased the orchardists who had
severed their connections with the
shipping agency contend that they are
equitably entitled to an accounting in
proportion to the assessments made on
tonnage furnished by them to the AS
sociation. According to the complaint
of the plaintiff company, of which H.
F. Davidson is president, portion of
the surplus fund is to be used in the
purchase of the old Hood River Apple
Growers Union properties. The court
is asked to restrain the Association di-
rectOrs from purchase contract, which
it is alleged would impair the rights of
Tie plaintiff in sharing III the surplus
fund.
The complaint alleges that the pro-
portion of the plaintiff company will
reach sum of approximately $1,000.
The injunction proceedings, which
will be heard at an early date by
Judge Bradshaw, of The Dalles, formed
the chief topic of conversation among
fruit growers here Saturday.
