ADDRESS FOR
THE RED CROSS
H. L. Goughnour of Madison
Speaks at the High School on
Monday Evening

II. l.. Goughnour spoke at the high
school building on Monday evening
for the Red Cross. He said in part:
1t is time that we awoke to the
fact that there is mad dog abroad in
the world. 1t is time we stopped ex-
cusing the people of Germany-they
have sold their souls to the Kaiser
and are mad for conquest.
Peace will be possible only when
Germany gives up her militaristic am
billions.
We are accustomed to seeing a be-
reaved family at funeral but we
are not used to bereaved cities and
nations. We need to face the severe
fact today that there is possibility,
there is actual danger of victory by
Germany. If the allies should be
forced to give up, it will mean that
America will have the greatest war
ahead of her that the world has ever
known. A 100 million dollar drive
is on this week for the Red, Cross.
New York city has volunteered to
raise 40 millions. Are we to remain
apathetic and not do our part? This
money will be used to equip more base
hospitals, among other things. We
have 81 of these-and the British have
hundreds. We have one hospital
ship. The British sent 40 hospital
ships on the expedition to the Darde-
nelles. In France trenches are in bad
sanitary conditions. Diseases have
sprung up that are not yet named,
and our boys will be plunged into this
germ infested country unless the Red
Cross cleans it up. We talk about
America helping Belgium. but we have
given only per cent of the help that
has been given to Belgium. France
and Great Britain have given most of
the rest. Some of this money-this
100 million-will be used in Russia to
help give ambulances for their 1000
mile front where they need them.
Canada gave 100 million the first year
of the war to her Red Cross, 200 mil
lion the second year, and they are
raising 400 million this year We with
100 million people can surely give 100
million now, and more later.
The big thing now to be done is to
put through this drive at once. II
Russia's supplies are to be sent at
all this year they must be sent at
once. Where are the men tonight?
Live business men must be lined up,
to solicit money. A report is supposed
to be made each night to Washington.
Even though the Red Cross organiza-
ton has not been completed here in
Baraboo, the Chapter can put through
the Baraboo drive.
The boys who are drilling lis the,
Baraboo company are willing to; help
riase the money in Bafaboo.

CITY ASKS ROAD
TAX APPORTIONMENT

A committee of city residents has
been appointed to consult with County
Judge Blowers and members of the
county court and ask that that body
app0rtion to the city 70 per cent of the
funds raised here this year for county
road improvement. In former years
Hood River county has not been called
on to pay portion of the county road
fund, but levies have merely been made
on rural road districts, all of which
under law have been apportioned the
sum of 70 per cent of the fund so raised
from tax on property in their borders
for local improvements. The residents
of the city last December adopted
charter amendment which excluded
municipal territory and threw in the
county a steel bridge crossing Hood
river. AS retaliation former County
Judge Stanton adopted the method Of
raising county road funds under the
heading of general fund and the as
sessment fell on city property. Hood
River taxpayers, their annual state
ments showing an increase of 40 per
cent over last year, have raised a pro-
test.
while the county authorities will
be willing to meet the city taxpayers
half way and effect compromise,
says Judge Blowers, "we cannot return
a full 20 per cent of the tax to be paid
by city residents for road purpose
without seriously crippling our road
fund for the year. assure the people
of the city that the burden of road
fund will not fall on them next year,
although | think it just that the city
property should pay its portion of the
fund to be provided for constructing
new bridges and other general work
/ have written to County Judge Gun.
ming, of Wasco county, and / find that
such policy is in effect there"

Reception for legislators

Local organizations joined in plan.
ming reception for the joint legislat-
ors who represented Wasco and Hood
River counties at Salem. Senator
George R, Wilbur, who made a splen-
did record during the session of the
Legislature, came here from Hood River
for the reception, which was held in
the parlors of Hotel Dalles last Friday
night. He gave an interesting talk.
Rev. Frank Naples presided as chair
man. {. ]. Bright delivered the ad-
dress of welcome. DR.. ]. E. Anderson
and Mrs. Alexander Thompson, repre-
sentatives, made short addresses. Mu-
sic was furnished by Mrs. Carlton P.
Williams chorus. Due to the fact that
the meeting had not been we'll adver-
tised, the reception crowd was small.
Following the speeches refreshments
were served by high school girls. Those
at the reception evidenced the highest
regard for the local legislators. Proba-
bly, no delegation at Salem was so
widely and favorably known as that of
Wasco and Hood River. THE Dalles

AUTOS TO REPLACE
OLD STAGE COACHES

Arrangements now being made mean
that 1900 horses which heretofore
have drawn touring stage coaches
through Yellowstone National Park
will be sold for use in European
armies and their places taken during
the coming summer by automobiles.
Under the plans now being worked out
there will hereafter be three compan-
les instead of seven controlling hotels,
camps and tours of the famous park.
The former arrangement caused a
of service that was some
what confusing to the public. Under
the new deal the general service will
be brought to high standard of eff
cheney, which will mean that the park,
with its great natural wonders, will be
more easily viewed than before. Un-
der the new management Howard H.
Hays, who has had charge of numerous
camping outfits dictated by the gov
ernment, will be the general tours
agent for the Chicago, Union Pacific,

CUTLER GRADER TO
CROSS THE PACIFIC

The Cutler Fruit Grading Co., now
engaged in building an addition to it's
factory, has just received through it's
San Francisco agents an order for ma
chimes for use in New Zealand orch
ards. The harvesting season for apples
begins in the Antipodes in March.
The manufacture of grading ma
chine is a side line for Frank w. and
Asa B. Cutler. brothers and East Side
orchardists. The machine was pri-
marily invented by the former, grad
uate of the mechanical department of
the University of Illinois for use in
private orchards. But the Cutler grad
er has become so popular that it will
be necessary to increase the factory
this year to dimensions of 100 by 60
feet and score of mechanics will be
employed in the plant. The Cutler
machine, which sizes the fruit by a
system of actual apple counterweights,
was used in fruit packing demonstra-
tions at the Spokane Apple Show and
at Corvallis at the Oregon Agricultural
College Farmers Week activities.
Numerous orders from other North
western apple districts have already
been received for 1917 delivery, it is
said.
