And yet, although this happening meant temporary financial ruin for him, it was, in its way, only another success, a success would like to know the real man that Herbert Hoover is.
 After one of his returns to Lon don, he discovered a dedication ot staggering proportions.

DET0URS MAKE PA
CIFIC HIGHWAY BAD

Mr.. and Mrs. A. ID. Moe, accompan-
led by their daughter, Miss Frances,
left last Tursday on weeks motor
tour of the Puget Sound country.
Their schedule called for visits at the
homes of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben SNYDER
and Mr.. and Mrs. Mudgett. of Tacoma.
and Mr.. and Mrs. William Niblock, of
! Victoria, b. G. Mr.. Moe writes as
follows of his experiences on the way
north:
Got to Tacoma Friday afternoon
without mishap. after negotiating 100
miles of rough roads over det0urs,
making an average time of 10 miles
per hour. Near Castle Rock we were
stopped by deputy sheriff who want
ed to commander our ear to catch a
party of gypsies who had robbed a
store, bat we talked him out of it and
went on. Gas situation bad up here.
We will not attempt to drive to Van
couver. Am spending today Sunday
at Vashon Island on the Sound at
Mudgett's summer home. Expect to
leave tonight for Seattle and will take
the boat there for Victoria.
We have been complaining about the
delay in grading and paving the Co
iuillblh highway Dut LllG way WOTk
progresses on the Pacific Highway be-
tween Vancouver and Tacoma the work
on the Columbia Highway has been re-
markably fast. Roads are good from
Tacoma and Olympia in every direction
except toward Portland. We learned
that there was one bad detour on the
Canadian side toward Vancouver,
which is 200 miles from here. This.
with the gas shortage. and the dis
manteling of car to cross on the ferry,
has decided us to take the boat from
Seattle and leave the car there.
As to road conditions: There is
pavement a short distance out of Van
rouver, then the detours start. In
fact it is mostly detour from there to
Olympia, with the accent on the de-
tour. The first detour has a few miles |
of pavement. Then comes wornout
and cut up dirt road to Kelso. |
The next detour starts there and took |
US over hills with as high as Is per |
cent grade and full of chuck holes.
We took it slow and averaged 10 miles
an hour, but in spite of caution and |
slow driving we got many nasty jolts.
Frances was in the back seat and says
she hit the top of the car four times
We made Winlock the first night and
to get rooms and fairly de-
cent meals. Frances and | took in a
picture show in an old ramshackle
and during the show was
sure | felt an earthquake. as the build
ing trembled and shook from side to
side. We afterwards concluded it was
a train going along close to the build
ng. but the artist who was dispensing
Jazz on the piano had drowned the
sound of the cars.
We put in Saturday forenoon around
Tacoma and in the afternoon went to
Puyallup and Sumner. At the former
place we met w. H. paulhamus, who
us through the big cannery,
a wonderful institution.

Mp. LEAGUE AND
Bill. TO BE FOUGHT

Hood River county was aroused to
need of action in combating the Non
Partisan League and the five per cent
interest bill Saturday when Robert +.
Smith, of the Oregon Taxpayers
League, and Lloyd Riches, secretary
of the Oregon Editorial Association,
were here and sounding warning of a
danger of adoption of the bill in No.
vember and an Oregon overrun by state
socialism, unless the average citizen of
the state emerged from apathy.
AS result of Saturdays meeting
held at the Commercial Club rooms,
where both Mr. Smith and Mr.. Riches
explained the dangers confronting the
state. j Ii. Fredricy and C.. o. Huelat
were asked to meet Monday and select
an executive committee of five who
will take charge of carrying a cam
paign of education to every precinct
of the county.
c. c. Chapman was present at the
meeting and warned the citizens Of
need to conduct clean cut campaign
of education.
Mr.. Riches called attention to the
fact that the editorial association was
not primarily an organization that par
ticipated in political movements, but
that it was decided at recent annual
convention at Astoria that it was time
to emerge from the shell and become
active in combating these measures.
Frank Golleheur. Portland automO-
bile man, was with the party.
Monday night Mr.. Fredricy and Mr..
Huelat appointed the following execu-
tive committee AL. G. Graft, J. r.
Nunamaker. j. II. Hazlett. N. II. Mac
MILAN and G. Nj. McMullin. The men
will meet today for organization and
to lay plans for a thorough educational
campaign in all Valley precincts.

FAIR JUNKET TOUR
WAS SUCCESSFUL

The Hood River County Fair Board
plans on making an annual event of a
tour of the Valley and picnic, inaugu
rated last Friday when the board mem
bers, accompanied by about 35 business
men and ranchers, motoTed to the
| places of representative stock rails el S
and fruit growers. The party reached
! Lava Bed park shortly after noon
where picnic lunch was served.
The junkets will be taken for pur-
pose of stimulating interest in the fair
and to permit growers to exchange
ideas and information gained through
experiments. All who participated in
the tour of last week declare the plans
for an annual junket a good one. 1t is
proposed that next year the number of
ranchers on the iunket be increased to
hundred or more.
General interest in the fair is re-
ported on the increase. The Public
Health Department, with Mrs. Glen
dora Blakely in charge, will participate
actively in the fair, and demonstrating
of weighing and measuring children
for nutrition tests will be made. This
demonstration is thought appropriate
at this time, in that the school districts
will soon be equipped with weighing
and measuring devices.
The fair board is endeavoring to pro
mote the "Art in Every Home" move
ment at the approaching fair.
I'VE will have an excellent collection
of prints" says p. l.. Manser, in
charge of art exhibits. 'They have
been obtained from the American Fed
Grafton of Arts. Washington, ID. c.,
and will be displayed with a collection
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. owned by local
folk. We will have prints of such
masters as Keith, Alexander, Corot,
lnnes, Wilson, Sargent. We will have
a large number of reproductions for
sale at reasonable figures.

Good school Fair Looms

Supt. Gibson says that he expects
valley school children to stage the best
industrial school fair given here since
the custom was inaugurated eight
years ago. After a tour of all school
districts he says he finds the youngsters
ready with an unusually large assort-
ment of displays and with a quality
better than the average. He pays a
tribute TO teachers for their interest
in the school fairs, declaring that they
are largely responsible in getting chill
dren enthused over raising gardens and
participating in other projects.
Girls of several Districts will present

BIG CROWD
is INDICATED
PAVING CELEBRATION PLAN GROWS
FredriCy Hears That Folk of All Districts
Are Eagerly Awaiting LObOr
Day

Responses being received from Multi
nomah county and prominent citizens
of other sections of the state, who
have been invited to participate in the
event, indicate that the Hood River
county celebration, Labor Day, of the
completion of paving on the Columbia
Highway between here and Portland
will be the most largely attended af-
fair ever held here. Members of dis.
trict committees have telephoned or
written to J. H. Fredricy, who is in
charge of the celebration that hundreds
of families are planning on bringing
their picnic lunches and joining the
crowd at Chautauqua park. Mr.. Fred
ricy in an appeal to committees says:
MANY prominent people of Hood
River county have been urging a cele-
bration to commemorate the compile
tion of the Columbia River Higwhay
through to Hood River and are desirous
of expressing their appreciation for
the wonderful achievement thus far
accomplished by the Oregon State
Highway Commission. especially that
body's chairman, Simon Benson.
Long years ago prominent citizen
of this state dreamed of wonderful
highway over the hills. through shady
dells. over rockribbed chasms. by the
foot of beautiful waterfalls, along the
bank of the mighty Columbia to Inland
Empire. This man was E. Henry
Wemme. He did not live to enjoy the
realization of his dream, for soon after
intimate friends of his
hopes the grim reaper took him from
our midst.
"Some time after, the story goes,
Mr.. Benson, wishing to take an auto
mobile trip from Oregon to California,
shipped his automobile from Portland
to The Dalles. He sat on the deck of
the boat and as they steamed up the
Columbia vivid Interpretation of
Wemme's dream came to him as he
gazed at the wondrous beauties of the |
Oregon shore. Upon hissreturn to Or
egon he Immediately became active in |
the construction of the great highway,
making his first attack with personal |
funds at Shell Rock mountain. Since |
that time this man has been closely |
Identified with highway development |
all over the state, and it is fitting and |
proper that the people of Hood River |
county meet at this time and do him |
lonor, for he has done much for us.
'This IS the greatest celebration un-
lertaken by Hood River county for
ong time 1t is celebration in which
Every man, woman and child should |
participate.
