Hood River County Fair has necessi-
tated the board of directors calling off

to collect unique exhibit of all Hood
River products, and after their display
here rush them to Salem over the Co.
lGmbia River Highway by motor truck.
"But we are afraid if we make our
p ans they will all be upset with the
Columbia Highway closed between here
aid Cascade Locks. = says K. v.
Wright, member Of the Fair commit
tee.
The indefinite highway situation is
leading to numerous protests. Many
declare that the road should remain
ooen at certain hours each day, even
while paving work is at its height.

delegation and the postoffice depart
ment, and the reply comes from Wash
ington that the will of the local ma.
iority shall rule in the matter. The
comparative good points Of different
locations will be threshed out at the

Strong, Republican, Kansas, who
said the prices of these products had
increased 800 percent in the last two
years, but his amendment was reject
ed by close vote, while that Of Rep,
resentative Newton, Republican, of
Minnesota, to include raw cotton
