A JOLT FOR OLD H. c. L.
With Wheat Prices Steadily Declining ing the Purchasing Power of the Dollar is Sure To Come Into
 Its Own

That the high cost of living has reached the pinnacle and that prices of commodities have begun to recede is noticeable to the shrewd observer.
 Thesfarmer had this brought home to him in most forceful manner. When the wheat trickled into the sacks from the threshing machine in the middle of July every bushel of it found a ready market in Central Mis- souri at $268. But this price did not last long.
 The price of wheat began to recede almost immediately, and in a few days it was down to $2 Early Tn Au- gust wheat was selling at $1.90 and the farmer was fearful that the price would go still lower.
 And wheat is a good price barome- ter. Other Commodities may be lit tie slow in coming back to normal prices, but it is inevitable.
 The man who when money was so plentiful or cheap, as the financiers termed it, put his savings into U. s. Securities will feel mighty glad of his investment now. The market price of Liberty Bonds went below par when money was so plenlllul, Dut there was no real reason for it. The bonds draw the fixed interest and they will be redeemed at face value when due. Meantime they draw fair inter est.
 The ones who are investing regular ly in Government Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates. will be glad to know that their Savings will buy much more now than when the high price era was at its height.

new BRIDGE NEAR
PUNCH BOWLORDERED

A new road Just ordered by the coun.
ty court and connecting the Winans
district near Dee with orchard places
to the west of the West Fork Of Hood
river, will necessitate the replacement
of an old private bridge across the
stream just above the DEVILS Punch
Bowl. Roadmaster Nichols last week
posted dwarning signs on the old bridge,
declared dangerous, and Commissioner
Hannum will begin Immediately with a
crew of men rebuilding the structure.
The county, it is stated. is awaiting a
report from ali expert who at the re-
quest Of officials recently Investigated
a bridge over the Middle Fork at Wi
mans. The structure, built in 1912 and
responsible for the county's only recall
election. when county judge and a
commissioner were replaced, is said to
be the crookedest bridge in the state.
The builders, after approaches had
been completed, found that the main
span would have to be erected at an
giles to the approach trestles. A diff
ference Of opinion has been expressed
as to the safety of the bridge, and the
county asked the State Highway Com
mission for an inspection and a report
as to cost Of rebuilding. if necessary,
as compared with new bridge.

BUNCO MAN
STILL AT LARGE

Police authorities, after tracing r.
C. Crawford. wanted here on charge
Of larceny by bailee, to Fargo, N. D.,
have lost his trail. He may have pro-
ceeded to some eastern metropolis,
while his wife stopped with relatives
at Crookston, MINI.
Crawford, because Of his clever stor-
les of adventure. had been the recipient
Of much attention since coming here
about January 10. He was employed
by the local school on recommendations
Of Portland teachers agency. He
had created general interest by his
plans for utilizing the big airplane he
claimed to have owned in local COM
mercial service. Children of the schools
had been offered free rides in the
plane, provided they sold a certain
number of tickets to citizens. The
police do not believe Crawford ever
owned an airplane.
Stories told by Crawford about his
own exploits and his family antece-
dents rivaled Arabian Nights stories.
He began his career. according to
claims made to students and faculty
acquaintances at the high school, with
Villa. He took French leave Of the
Mexican bandit, he claimed, flying
away to get an opportunity in the
European war. His claims were. that
he was first a member Of the British
Royal Flying Corps, but that he later
transferred to the American army. In
some Of his condolences Crawford has
posed as the trainer Of the famed Eddy
Rickenbacker. The physical director :
father, according to his tales, was one
time a buccaneer in the Westo Indies.

has been objected to. While some eiti-
zens still protest against the absolute
closing of the Highway. Others declare
that the action should be taken, if it

JUDGE BLOWERS URGES
7. N. 7. SHIPMENT

Eager to secure the high explosive
for use on the Lost Lake highway,
work on which will be resumed soor,
County Judge Blowers expresses a
noyance at dilatory tactics of officia 5
in getting 7. N. T. allotted to states
that have applied for it. Judge Blow
ers was recently notified by Senator
Chamberlain that 20. 600 pounds of the
explosive had been allotted to Hood
River, and that 500. 600 pounds had
been allotted to the Oregon State
Highway Commission. Mr.. Blowers
has just had ta reply from letter 10
K. A. Klein, secretary Of the commits
sion. who SAYS no T. N. T. has arrived.
and that it has been necessary recently
to buy dynamite to conduct excavation
work. Judge Blowers has written 10
Representative Sinnott as follows.
IL hope you and other members of
the Oregon congressional delegation
will take an active interest in locating
the beaurecrat who seems to be suffei :
ing from chronic inertia, and see il It
will be possible to get some of tins
powder shipped in time to use it on
road work"
Judge Blowers, who has written to
fellow jurists of other counties in
which heavy road work is projected.
asking their cooperation in getting the
powder shipped, says he understand
that 7. N. T. deteri0rates rapidly, and
that it should be used as speedily as
possible.

SCHOOL ELECTION
Is APPROACHING
PARK STREET BONDS VOTED ON
Information on Who are Legal Voters and
Other Phases Of the Approaching
Election Given Voters

At a special election called for Fri
day, March 19, at the Park street
school the taxpayers of School District
No. 3, comprising the corporate limits
of the city and surrounding orchard
district, will vote on a bond issue Of
Al, 600 and special tax of 20, 000.
Members OF committee composed of
Truman Butler. S. J. Moore and A. J..
Derby, recently appointed by the school
board to aid in methods Of financirg 2
new buildings, declared the existence
Of an emergency and that new build
ing should be erected to replace the old
Park street schoolhouse. The old bull
ding was found unsanitary and wholly
inadequate to accommodate the num-
ber of pupils in attendance.
With the law limiting the bonded in
debtedness of the school district to five
per cent of the total valuation, addi
tional bonds only to the extent Of SAL, :
QUO can be voted, and for this reason
the committee recommended special
tax Of $4,000 to be made available
next year. The old school building is
the Oldest in service here today. Edu
CdtOIb, ldIullldI Will 6CuOOl 0OuStS III
other parts of the state, recently here
have declared it one of the most unsan-
itary they have ever seen.
Parents and especially the women Of
the city have made an active campaign
in support of the proposed bond issue,
and it is indicated that Saturday g
election will be the most largely at
tended school meeting ever held in
Hood River. Women who circulated
the petition to the school board secured
l07 signers to the petition. They state
that opposition to the betterment of the
school was fairly negligible.
1t is stated that the status Of regis.
tration has nothing to do with qualifi.
cations in the coming election. Only
property holders, however, can vote.
The law requires that the names Of
voters must appear on the last tax roll
Where man and wife are joint own
ers of property both are entitled to .
vote.
The impression has gone forth that
Hood River still owes for the Park
street building proposed to be replaced
An investigation shows this to be ar
error. Every cent Of the indebtedness
on the old structure has been met. In
deed, the only bonded Indebtedness ol
the district was incurred for the build
ing of the high school and the Coe pri
mary school. The polls will be opel
from 2 to Up. m.
