The Wasco and Sherman county
courts are finally getting down to defn-
ite action on the proposed construction
of an inter-county bridge to replace
that so long operated for toll across
the Deschutes river. According to
dispatches relating the proceeding, the
cost of the proposed bridge site will be
pretty high, as the owner is asking for
more than. SIS, 200. In view of the
heavy tolls he has been collecting from
motorists, it seems that he might make
the state present of the old bridge,
site and all.

AN OPPORTUNITY

Readers of the Glacier for the past
several weeks have no doubt read the
advertisements of d. l. Stone, who
offers the residents of Hood River
county portion of his homestead place
on the West Fork of Hood river for
summer camp purposes. To the men
and women of the valley who are ac-
quainted with the West Fork coutry.
MIR. Stones offer comes as an oppor-
tunity that cannot be turned aside.
Except for isolated regions within
the national forests campsites covered
with virgin forest trees are fast disap-
pearing before the advancing needs of
a great nation for lumber. Unless set
tiers enter and reclaim the logged over
areas for agricultural purposes, as has
been the case in the Dee Flat region,
and for that matter large part of the
Hood River valley, the districts remain
for many years unsightly and unat-
tractive to visitors, one of the neces-
sary results to the utilization of our
great wooded areas.
But Mr.. Stone has offered Hood Riv-
er people an opportunity to save a few
acres of these beautiful forests, and
they should accept his terms. 1t lis
true that Mr.. Stones proposition is a
business one, measure that will be to
his own benefit. But it seems to US
that it is founded on magnanimous
spirit and mutual advantages will ac-
crue. Mr.. Stone proposes to sell from
his homestead 100 lots, each l33x66 feet
and each to cost the purchaser the sum
of $40. The consumation of the sale
of anyone lot is contingent on the pur-
chase of total of 100 or more lots.
AS a bonus, Mr.. Stone proposes to
deed to the body of purchasers jointly
a 2O-acre wooded plot to be used as a
park.
Have you ever seen the wooded tract
just at the confluence of the Lake
Branch and West Fork which has been
reserved from the axe of logging crews
by W. J. Baker? Camp Minnehaha this
place is called, and for years it has
been the summer residence of Mr..
Baker and his family. Always place
of beauty, it is now an oasis on the
logged off West Fork country. These
lots offered by Mr.. Stone are every bit

Home.

What is house and what is home,
Where with freedom thou hast room,
And may'st to all tyrants say,
This you can not take away2
'Tis no thing with doors and walls
Which at every earthquake falls;
No fair towers, whose princely fashion
Is but plumbers invitation;
No stout marble structure, where
Walls eternity do dare;
No brass gates, no bars Of steel,
Though times teeth they scorn to feel:
Brass Is not so bold as pride
II on powers wings It ride;
Marbles not so hard as spite
Arm'd with lawless strength and might
Seek no more abroad, say /,
House and home, but turn thine eye
Inward and observe thy breast:
There alone dwells solid rest
That's close immured tower
Which can mock all hostile power.
To thyself a tenant be
And inhabit safe and free.
Home is everywhere to thee
Who canst thine own dwelling be-

The Importance of the Hood River
Chapter of the American Red Cross
can be realized when one reads that
the chapter has expended since April /
the sum of sl,227 for supplies. And
last Saturday the executive committee
spent another $500 for the good work
of assisting in equipping the Univers-
itya of Oregon hospital unit. Hundreds
of our valley women deserve credit
and praise for their unselfsh work of
turning the supplies into material
ready for field and hospital work.
The women are now engaged in knit
ting $50 sets of sweaters, sox, ETC.,
for soldier boys in France.

PIT. Endorses Special Films

At the request of many of the par
ents, the Parent-Teacher Association
cooperated with other organizations in
the city to urge the management of the
Electric theatre to establish a chill
dren's day. Mr.. Kolstad, at consider
able extra expense, has set aside each
Tuesday, for special film for the chill
dren, with the finest child actress on
the screen, Mary McAllister. and has
arranged to present this film first at
each session, so that parents may send
the children early and they need not
remain for the other film unless de-
sired.
We would request that you make a
special effort to support this new en-
terprise that the management may feel
justified in keeping it up through the
winter.
