ROAD WORK FAST
SAYS ]. 7. HOLMAN

Accompanied by County Surveyor
Cruikshank and Jesse Holman, Hood
River county road viewers, J. T. Hol
man and F. A. Massee, spent one day
last week between here and Cascade
Locks engaged in the final formslities
of officially opening the new route of
the Highway west of the e-city.
Work is certainly being rushed be-
tween Cascade Locks and Wyeth,"
says Mr.. Holman. Within a short
time the contractor engaged0in grading
the stretch of the highway viii have
four big steam shovels at work. One
shovel has already started on earth ex-
cavations at Cascade Locks, and an
other has been set up at Wyeth, work.
ing west. A. ID. Kern, the:contractor,
has provided his men with Sc head of
as fine horses as ever laid my eyes
on. Not one of the big draft animals
will weigh less than 1900 pounds.
The new route of the Highway
through Cascade Locks necessitates
the removal of a number of the old
river town houses. The old White
House, a landmark of pioneer river
days, was the first of the old frame
structures to be relocated by crews of
road builders. -

CHILDREN'S GARDENS
VERY SUCCESSFUL

The war gardens of the school chill

sion workers of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College and Superintendent Glib.
son, will reach commercial proportions
this year. Individual plots, the total
of which will run into many acres,
have been farmed by boys and girls of
the valleys school districts, and scores
of home larders the coming winter will
be supplied from the stock of canned
fruit and vegetables packed by eff
cient little maidens, the community's
future housewives. fSchoolboys, some
of whom have never even had pair of
long trousers, will roll up neat sayings
bauk accounts this fall when they sell
their crops of beans and potatoes.
While Hood River county school gar
dens have been very successful in past
years the children were spurred to new
ambitions last spring when the O.-W.
X. & N. food conservation campaign
was begun here. At the big show
rooms of the Hood River Garage,
where on Saturday, September %, the
children will participate in their annual
school fair, hundreds of boys and.girls
of the town and rural districts assem-
bled one afternoon last spring to listen
eagerly to the appeals and suggestions
of corps of Agricultural College in
structors.
81 hope," says Supt. Gibson, "that
some of those railway officials and Ag-
ricultural College faculty people who
sounded their message last spring can
be with us next Saturday and see the
material results of the initial meeting
of their campaign. Why, out on the
East Side where this summer Mrs. f.
E. Lage, one of the valleys progress
i've women, conducted weekly couses
in domestic science work and other
practicalitraining, we have little tots
not yet ten years old who have canned
enough fruit and vegetables for the
use of their families this winter. The
work that we have accomplished this
season among our school children is
truly inspiring. And | know it will be
gratifying for the railway officials and
college people to hear of the benefits
derived from their hard work"
Gamer of Hood River valley is Miss
Beatrice Angus, school girl of Oak
Grove distict, who has packed more
than 500 cans of fruit and vegetables
this year. Through the loss of her
mother last year Miss Angus: has as
sumed the responsibilities of caring
for her fathers home and of providing
for the needs of a sister and two
younger brothers.
Her success as a housewife and can
ner has spread beyond the Hood River
valley, and numerous elderly women
visit the young girl to ask for sugges-
tions on preparing their own larders
for the winter.

]. ". Morton Takes Appeal

Litigation over the right of way for
the Columbia Highway on the new
survey around the Ruthton hill grade
will be carried to Supreme court.
J. W. Morton, who sued the county for
$4,000 damages, because of alleged
injuries to his property by the con-
struction of the new road, has appealed
from an adverse decision in the circuit
court. The county court on opening
the road awarded Mr.. Morton damage
of 81.
In his complaint Mr.. Morton de-
clared that the county's formalities in
declaring the road open were in error,
since the official notices had not been
posted at his boundary line. His dam
age, he declared, would ensue from
injuries to a large spring, over which
the right of way Of the new road will
pass.

War Threatens Fraternities

1.-THE war has put the skids under a
number of national Greek fraternities,
do you want this to happen to us?"
Such is the appeal sent out from the
Portland alumni chapter of a well
known Greek letter fraternity to its
local alumni members.
The sIetter from the Portland COM
mittee continues: 'Men are needed by
the University of Oregon and Oregon
Agricultural College chapters if they
are to continue. Practically all of both
chapters have been called to the col
ors. This condition is nation wide"
So far as is now known only one of
the "a girls of the 1917 class will at
tend college. Miss Frances Castner
will enter the Oregon Agricultural col
lege.
Only 25 per cent of the IL male
members of the class will attend col
lege the coming year. Neal Nuna-
maker, class valedictorian, has left to
enter the University of California at
Berkeley. Floyd Wright will attend
Whitman College and Chatter Newton
