WHY MR.. THOMAS RESIGNED.
Says He Could Not Attend to Town
Business and His Own.

Editor of The Reformer:
In ansarticle printed in The Reformer
of Sept.8, 1920, on school affairs in Gull
ford, 4 note the same refers to my resig-
nation as because of the differences in
said controversy, which is an error.
Without referring to the school problem
| wish to explain that my reason for
giving in my resignation was that |
could not attend to the town business
properly without interfering with my
own, sand for that reason | felt, after
serving the town six years and two
months, that it was my duty to resign
and let the selectmen appoint another
school director who tcould do his share
of the duties of said office.
Respectfully,
ERNEST r. THOMAS.

Land Clearing Predicted

The Hood River Spray Co.. which
has just taken the agency for the Du-
Pont powder concern, is expecting a
revival of land clearing this fall and
winter. Inquiries of orchardists, it is
said, point to more work of this char
acter than for sometime. During the
past year more than a score of small
tracts Of logged off land have been sold
bv the Oregon Lumber Co. in the
WoodWorth district. Most of the pur-
chasers will clear a portion Of the
places and plant pear trees, with
strawberry filters, it is said. In outly-
ing districts of the Lower Valley grow
ers are contemplating the increase Of
strawberry acreage. Indications point
to an extended shortage of Clark Seed
ling strawberry plants, so heavy Will
be paintings for the next year.

SIGN CAMPAIGN
Is UNDER WAY

A committee of the Merchants As
sociation, consisting of E. E. Brett, H.
G. Ball and Earl Franz has begun a
campaign for better road signs in the
county. 1t is also proposed to erect
comprehensive signs on the Highway
at both the east and west entrance of
the city calling attention of tourists to
the orchard district and mountain land
scapes that may be seen by a drive Of
a few minutes to the south.
Because of lack of comprehensive
signs along the Highway the past year
it is estimated that several thousand
motor tourists have passed through
Hood River without knowing the beau
tiful orchard districts were within a
few minutes ride.
