MINERS GIVE RED
CROSS BATH MONEY

Some Of our boys in the trench
es would enjoy good bath" is
the message printed on a small sign
placed over the shower bath room
built by the Chickaloon Coal COM
pany for its employees at the mines
and which is a constant reminder
tothe users of the shower bath that
they can do their bit in the winning
of the war by contributing what
they regard the bath worth to the
American Red Cross.
The shower bath was built for
the use of the employees of the
mine by Walter A. Gompertz, gem
eral manager of the Chickaloon
Coal company, and in the place of
charging the men a fee for its use
the sign was placed in plain view
of the users of the bath.
Mr.. GompertZ has turned over to
the Anchorage chapter of the Red
Cross purse filled with quarters,
half dollars and dollars, money re-
ceived from the men, who while
taking advantage of the shower bath
remembered the boys in the trenches.

SOME SAILOR

In the old days of wooden fighting
ships the questions put to the would
be recruit were few and simple.
Could he "hand, reef, and steer?"
Did he come under the heading of
seaman, ordinary seaman, or just
plain landsman?"
Today the sea fighters are float
ing machine shops, little worlds in
themselves, where men of many
trades are needed.
William Sato calls himself an
American, although he was born in
Japan. Sato was working as
photographer on a Chicago news
paper when he went to the Great
Lakes Training station to enlist.
whats your occupation" asked
the recruiting officer.
"I'm willing to do anything in
the navy" replied Sato.
81 mean, what are you best fitted
for? Look over this list and check
off what you can do"
This is what Sato checked off:
Aviator, blacksmith, cook, doctor,
electrician, fencer, gunner, house
man, interpreter. jeweler, quizzer,
reporter, steamfitter, tailor, under
taker, vivisectionist, wrestler, yeo-
man, zoologist.
He is a registered physician, a
licensed aeroplane pilot, and an ex-
pert photographer. If Josephus
Daniels, boss of the navy, is ever
short-handed, he can page Mr.. Sato.

ANCHORAGE URGED
TO GET GOLFERS

The building of GOLFERS to handle
the products of the Matanuska coal
fields between Anchorage and the
Pacific coast cities is the most i'm
portant matter to be taken up at
this time by the people of An
chorage, in the opinion of Homer T.
Fowler, president of the Pacific
Grocery company and owner of val
liable real estate holding in 1ne rail-
road town, who arrived from his
headquarters in Everett, Washing
ton, on a recent steamer.
In speaking of the shipping facili-
ties, Mr.. Fowler sees no reason why
boats properly equipped for the pur-
pose should find difficulty in ne
gotiating the Anchorage harbor at
all times of the year. He compares
the conditions with those existing
on the Great Lakes, where during
the shipping season between Buffalo
and Duluth, in the heart of the great
iron belt, coal has been carried be-
tween the two cities, a distance Of
LOO miles, during the past thirty
years for thirty cents per ton. With
the building of Golfers for the An
chorage coal trade a similar carry
ing charge may be maintained.
Mr.. Fowler is shipping in a large
number of hogs to Anchorage which
during the season he will sell to the
farmers for price which included
the original cost in the States plus
the freight charges.

The Anchorage Pioneers have
adopted a novel manner of paying
off their indebtedness. At each
meeting they sell bonds of a twenty
five dollar denomination, redemm-
able in two years. All moneys de-
rived from parties, dances and other
entertainments are to 60 into the
treasury for the purpose of redeem
ing the bonds and at every meeting
numbers will be drawn, the lucky
man having his bond redeemed at
once. Bonds to the amount of 1925
were subscribed at the first meeting.

KEEPING DOWN TAXES

The Commercial club Monday night
launched q tax discussion that should
result in material relief. With the
heavy burden of the war on every citi-
zen S shoulders. burden that we are
bearing cheerfully, it is the duty of
everyone to endeayor to assist with the
reduction of taxation, at least to work
toward the end that taxes will not in
crease beyond bounds.
The proposal that representatives of
all districts Of the county keep con
stantly in touch with each other
throughout the year and have prepared
months in advance data for the consid-
GRAFTON Of the budget board, should be
put into effect. In former seasons we
have seen kind Of pork barrel sys-
TEN in effect at the courthouse at
budget meeting time no otfense is
meant by the ordious designation.
Still, every district had made up its
mind on the demand for certain funds,
from which it was hoped a benefit
would accrue, and delegations usually
came with minds fully made up on
those certain demands. Under the
newly proposed plans, it will be neces-
sary for the application of a give and
take policy. But the plans certainly
merit full discussion. We would like
to see them put into effect

THE SALARY BILL

Without recommendation as to the
merits Of the claims of the county off
GERS or the resolutions of the Pomona
grange, the Glacier does, however,
wish to move that the claim be tested
out in the courts. Sometimes when we
are threatened by some disease that
requires a major operation, we are
prone to delay a thorough diagnosis.
The thoughts of that operation frighten
US. Yet it will be all the worse when
it does finally become necessary.
And so the payment Of these bach
salaries, if We are really going to have
to dig up, is going to increase as time
goes on The matter should be adiudi-
Gated as soon as possible. We might
drop thelmatter now and forget it and
allow the old initiative bill salary. In
the course of two or three, half dozen
or ten years some old Office holder, his
heirs or assignees might decide to bring
suit. t such suit were won at that
late date it might break the county.

THE RED CROSS DRIVE

On next Monday. the second drive
for funds for the American Red Cross
Will be launched over the entire United
States. The nations great humani-
tartan organization is calling for an
other SlO0, 600, 900 to be used in work
Of mercy and healing. And the fund
will be raised with dispatch. We are
sure. The story Of the work If the
Red Cross is such as to hearten US.
While We were rushing with our pre-
parations for assembling a huge army
in France. the Red Cross preceded the
soldiers and by the aid Of civilians
assisted in keeping up the morale until
the cheering sight Of ever increasing
thousands of khaki-clad boys on French
soil will be witnessed.
1t would take volumes to tell Of the
great work the Red Cross has accom-
plished. All of US know what our loyal
women have done here in Hood River
YSth the funds made available for the
purchase of hospital supplies.
Hood River desires to make another
record. The quota set for the county
drive is again 1000 No one desires
to be left out Of the contributions to
this fund. Let every one make up his
or her mind as to the extent of the APP
preparation to be made, and there will
be no need for any solicitation. The
canvassing teams will merely hasten
through their territory on the first day
Of the campaign, next Monday, and
assemble the funds. The word will go
out that Hood River is doing her duty.
