CREWS ARE NOW
COMPLETING PAVING

Except for half mile stretch just
west of the Mitchells Point tunnel, the
Columbia Highway is now paved be-
tween Hood River and Portland. Tues
day evening crews completed paving
the Ruthton hill grade. BY Saturday
evening they expect to complete the
Mitchells Point section. About day
will be required next week in paving
the concrete bridge across Hood river.
While the work is in progress at Mitch
ellis Point the Highway Will be closed
during working hours. Traffic will be
allowed through before 730 a. m, be-
tween IL 80 a. m. and IL 30 p. m. and
after $50 p. m.
Without funds for the work, the city
will postpone the paving of approxi-
mately 900 feet where hard surfacing
ends on Cascade avenue and the city
limits. City officials state that the
short link will be surfaced with gravel.
Suggestions have been made that the
paving be laid at once, and the city be
permitted to postpone payment until
the sum, approximately So, 600, can be
raised in next years budget. The city,
however, has taken no action in cOnsid-
GRAFTON of the matter.

Remote Farmers Are Praised

The progressiveness Of farmers in the
Summer Lake, Paisley and Goose Lake
ditrict of southeatern Oregon bring a
surprise to the. visitor, according to a
party of men just back from a week s
automobile trip in the district. The
men visiting the section were Judge
Derby. Frank l.. Davidson and son,
Claude b. Davidson.
'While the roads in the remote sec
tions, says Judge Derby, "are not the
most pleasing, farm development
around Paisley and Summer Lake will
compare favorably with any part of the
state. Some Of the places showed as
much progress almost as Hood River
valley. While away we crossed the
state line over into California and Ne
Vada.

WHITE SALMON
TRIP is PLANNED

The American Legion base ball team,
accompanied by large crowd of root.
ers and jazz band, will invade White
Salmon Sunday. August 8, when a re-
turn game will be played with the team
there. Last Sunday the local team de-
feated the White Salmon leaguers by a
score Of to 6. The visitors were shut
out until the fifth inning. Hale knocked
a home run, with two men on bases,
and brought the score up to five. In
the sixth inning White Salmon came
back and brought in five runs as result
of three bad errors and a series of hits.
Hood River made the winning run in
the last half Of the ninth.
Charles Hart, old time favorite here,
was as speedy as ever in the box. A

Jewell Nav Lose College.

Jewell Record: To the person who as
a spectator attended the meeting Of
delegates Of Jewell. Lutheran College
afternoon, it appears that there is a
serious possibility that the town may
lose the college. The meeting was eX-
~ceptionally well attended, there being
about ninety voting delegates present
in addition to many visitors and others
not delegates. The Eagle Grove Com
mercial club had a committee of three
men at the meeting, J. Z. Johnson,
Guy Huxley, and HOLLYWOOD Kloster,
who were here to do what might be
done to get the college located at
Eagle Grove in case Jewell college is
consolidated with Waldorf college. A
news story was printed in the Eagle
Grove newspaper last week to the eff
feet that Eagle Grove is ready to con-
tribute fifty thousand dollars to get
the school, and n Of the three dele
gates here yesterday informed the
Record publisher that Eagle Grove
will do much better than that if they
have to in order to get the college.
However, it is not merely a matter
Of money. President Holm of the
Iowa district of the Lutheran church
in an address yesterday declared that
the location of the college is not up
for auction. 1t will be a question Of
where the congregations involved be-
lieve the school will draw the strong
est support and will serve the most use
full purpose.
A resolution adopted ut the
meeting here yesterday to the effect
that the Jewell corporation favors a
consolidation with Waldorf college,
provided consolidation meets. with the
approval of the board of education Of
the Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America, and provided it meets with
the approval of the Lutheran cOngre-
cations of the Story City circuit, in
which Jewell is located. the st. Ansgar
in which Waldorf college is
located, and the Eagle Grove circuit,
in which is located the town of
Eagle Grove, which wants the col
lege, and which is the town favored
by the Waldorf school board in case of
4 consolidation. The resolution pro-
vided for early meetings of the con-
eTegations involved to determine the
question, and also provided that in
the congregations approve of a
consultations, the matter of location
shall be decided by a meeting compos-
ed Of delegates from the congregations
Of those three circuits. When the reso-
luton was passed, the delegation from
he Eagle Grove Commercial club left
smiling.
The meeting elected the nine follow
ing named men as members of the jew
ell college board of directors for the
year: Three year terms, G. O..
Panlsrud of Randall, Gilbert KnudsOn
Of Jewell, and Peter Buland OF Cam
bridge; two year terms, T. G. Thomp-
of Des Moines, Oscar Ullstead Of

FARMERS MUST PAY
HELP HIGHER WAGES
Normal Crops Will be Pro
duced if Farmers Meet
Demands.
(By The Associated press.)

Albany, n. Y, May 29.-Farms Of
New York state will produce their nor
NAL contribution to the nations food
supply this season if the farmers are
willing to pay the high wages demand
ed by farm labor, say officials OF the
state department of farms and mar
kets. These officials express the belief
that the farmers are beginning to
realize that their products will COM
mand high prices next fall and that
this will induce them to pay high
wages to laborers and to plant at least
as many acres as in former years.
The farm workers viii be found, say
department officials, when the farmer
is willing to pay them the wages they
want. The problem of the farmer is
the cost of labor rather than shortage,
they declare. WoOdsmen who have
been working in the logging camps dur
ing the winter are expected to go on
the farms in the summer. Besides, say
state officials. the annual back to the
land' migration from the cities should
help to relive the labor situation. Men
who have been lured from the rural
communities and towns by the higher
wages offered in shop and factory be-
gin to long for outdoor life when the
warm days come, they say, and little
coaxing is needed to make them eX-
change their work III their bench or
machine for open space Of field and
meadow.
Planting Delayed.
Planting has been della ed but this
is attributed mostly to u~nfavOrable
weather conditions. There was diff
Guilty early in the spring in obtaining
seed, fertilizer. farm implements and
machinery but the state officials say
thesescommodities have been supplied
as a result of efforts OF the department
of farms and markets in cooperation
with railroad officials.
Expecting that the New York state
farmer will see his duty and do it this
year is based in part upon his record
in 1917 and 1918 when farm laborerS
of the draft age were in the army. The
state officials say that the farmer
never before faced such a labor short
age but, nevertheless, those We're ban
ner years in crop. production in New
York state as well as for the bank bal
ances for the farmers. They declare
that if the farmer will pay the wages
demanded, he will receive this year
bigger profits than ever before.

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were

B~ritain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
Islands were allowed to remain neu-
trail I'm any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted to them by Edward Nv, and
was not revoked till the reign Of VIII
liam and Mary. It was granted as
a reward for the loyalty of the island
ers. whose with the neigh
boring coasts OF Brittany and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope Joined In enforcing the right,
and by a bull dated 1883 Sextus Nv
threatened to excommunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole,
It was fairly rigidly observed, and when
a Guernsey vessel was taken In the
channel by a prlvnterf Of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but a few Englishmen on

captured. The privilege does not

Electricity in Next War.

That the use of high explosives in

end of it's development, is the opinion
of a French inventor of one powerful
compound of that nature.
Neither a poisonous gases, it is in
dicated, be made much more danger
GUS than were those contrived in the

Sea Offers.

Prohibition of the killing Of sea
offers in Alaskan waters has been ex-
tended by the secretary of commerce
10 November 1, 1925. 1t is hoped that
in the meantime this valuable fur
hearing species. which was pursued
most to determination, will gain
somewhat in numbers.
The fur of the sea otter is the most
beautiful and most costly of all pelt-
ries. Long before the discovery of
America the mighty tycoons of Japan
clothed themselves with its shlmmer-
ing velvet. Early explorers found the
natives of the Aleutian islands and
the Puget sound region commonly
wearing sea otter cloaks, which they
parted with for a trifle.
