A school election will be coming soon.
1t Is quite apparent that some decided
changes will need to be made to prop
erly care for the school affairs. Just
how 1t can be arran ged, is one of the
most difficult probl ems. Think these
things over. We hear considerable
criticism, but criticism clone does little.
With your CRITICS m, bring your sug-
gestions for improvement to the spring
meeting. II seems to us that steps
should be taken to complete the high
school building. fhe primary teacher
is now oyer-work ed with forty pupils
and four grades. The teacher of the
next four grades is also taxed too
heavily. II is evident now that there
should have been four grade teachers
the past season.. and with the present
prospects for Increase, it would seem
that the entire down stairs should be
given over to the grades with four
teachers for the coming year. II this
is done. the upper story will have to be
finished for the high school. The only
feasible way to do this, is to vote more
bonds. What say you to this propo-
sition?

When the peace of Europe is ar
ranged. Uncle Sam will have place in
the peace conference. II past records
mean anything, his voice will be against
large acquisition of territory, and it
will also be against large indemnities
required. from defeated and weakened
nations. Ii will not be peace without
victory, but let us hope it will be a
peace without revenge, peace based
on that justice which will justify the
hope that it may be lasting peace.

that we are safe in saying that work

hinder its being complete by the first

COOLING MOTH NOTICE
(By Leroy Childs)

Cool weather the past few days
has retarded the rapid development
of the codling moth, so that it will
probably not be necessary to spray
for 10 days at least. A large series
of worms are under observation in
breeding cages in various sections
of the valley and up to the present
time not a single moth has appeared.
Eggs from these moths seldom
hatch within at least 10 days after
the appearance of the adult insect.
Further notices will be published,
depending upon the rapidity of de-
velopment of this brood of codling
moth.

D. |. STONE OFFERS
WOODED CAMP SITES

Through the unique plan Of ID. !.
Stone, a homesteader, whose l6O acre
tract lies on the Upper West Fork of
Hood River at the edge of the Nation
al Forest. Hood River will probably
have a summer colony of 100 or more
camps in the scenic region around the
rivers headwaters. Mr.. Stone. who
proved up on his homestead l6fyears
ago and who developed l5 acres, which
are now under cultivation. says that
he is too old to finance the further i'm
provement of his place. He has offered
to survey and plot 100 lots, each GO by
1872 feet, and clear them of underbrush
and fallen logs. He offers, provided
local citizens agree to take the entire
block of lots, to sell each tract for $40,
one-fouth down and the balance in
wears time. Two lots may be pro-
cured for SIS. In addition, Mr.. Stone
offers to deed to the purchasers Of the
100 lots as whole tract of 20 acres
of wooded land to the west of the park
to be used as a windbreak and to be
preserved for its natural beauty. To
each lot purchaser Mr.. Stone offers to
deed an UNDIVIDED interest of 40 inches
of free irrigating water.
The aged homesteader's plans have
aroused a keen interest among local
business and professional men, and
with the plans not yet more than few
hours old, dozen men have already
subscribed for campsites. c. N. Raw
lin, member of the board of directors
of the Commercial Club, has taken
charge.
Mr.. Stone is known not only to scores
of Hood River, but to many Portland
families, who camp annually on the
headwaters of the West Fork and Lost
Lake district. For years he has fur
nished campers with milk and bread.
He has always been interested in the
development of the scenic Lost Lake
country. Cooperating with the Com
mercial Club, he built a road into the
beautiful body of water about IL years
ago.
II am making my offer to the peO-
pie of Hood Rver," says Mr.. Stone,
mot only to help myself, for | cannot
afford to hold on to the property any
longer, but that | may see those Won
derful forest trees that have come to
love preserved for posterity. 1t would
be bad enough for me to give up my
homestead, but to give it up and see
those noble survivors of the great for
ests that have stood guard around the
base of Mount Hood and Lost Lake
sacrificed, would be more than | could
stand"
Five years ago forest fire threat
ened the body of virgin timber that
covers the plot included in Mr.. Stones
plans. The dense forests were saved
by Mr.. Stone and his daughter, who
fought the encroaching flames with
wet blankets.
