APPLES BLOOMS

idson. "The blooms seem to have pol
lenized in good shape, and | have
never seen prospects brighter for full
trees. Apples of all varieties seem
loaded"
The pear and cherry crops of the
valley. although the bloom of both was
a record one, will not yield nearly as
heavily as had been anticipated. Cold
rains and frosts prevailed during the
blossoming period of these fruits, and
as a result heavy drop is occurring
in many localities. During the pear
blooming period growers were esti
mating the years pear tonnage at 400
carloads. While the crop still bids fair
to be a record, it will be considerably
less than the earlier estimate. The
cherry crop will be about like that of
last year.

ROAD BOND
VOTE CALL.
TRUNK HIGHWAY ISSUE IS $3.50
Petitions Presented to County
Garry 535 Signatures EIectiG
to be Held on June 7

Official formalties have been
cluded by the county court for tne
$3.50, 900 bond election, called for June
z. when electors of this county will
pass on the issue proposed to permit
Hood River county to join the state
and furnish half of the money needed
in grading and rocking the Hood River
valley trunk of the Mount Hood Loop
Highway. The petitions circulated in
various sections of the valley as pre-
sented to the county clerk last week
bore 535 signatures. One petition. ar
irving late and not included, bore an
additional "a names.
". A. Langille, appointed by the
county court to secure rights of way
on the proposed road, is making good
progress. Most of the growers over
whose places the survey passes will
donate the rights of way or make only
nominal charges.
While considerable opposition to the
bond issue is being expressed, chiefly
because Of the plant of high taxes and
the dissatisfaction with the location,
the movement for voting the bonds is
swinging along with an impetus that
indicates majority for the proposal.
II. f. Davidson, incidentally one of
Hood River county's heaviest taxpay-
ers, is supporting enthusiastically the
proposed bond issue.
''lt seems to me, /" says Mr.. David
son, that this is the last opportunity
that will be afforded our county to re-
ceive state funds on highway work.
And | consider the opportunity one of
great Importance to this valley. The
road, while it will provide the state
with a link of the Loop road will also
make available market route of in
estimable value to the residents of
Hood River county. am opposed to
high taxes, but prefer to have some
additional tax expense if it will bring
us better roads. The proposed bond
issue, as | look at it, is an investment
that we cannot afford not to make"
