that the date of the settlers excursion
from the middle west to Oregon had
been postponed from July 10Th to Sep

Commercial clubs of the state have
been urged to complete the listing of
available lands in each community for
the information Of the settlers. and
these listed lands will be placed in the
hands of each member of the party.
according to Secretary QuayIe. In
this way, the homeseeker will know in

GARDEN MAKING
in CENTRAL AFRICA

Gardening is year-around task in
central Africa. according to a letter
from Mr.. and Mrs. David Byerlee,
who are at Bolenge, Beige Congo, en-
gagged in missionary work. In letter
to Mr.. Byerlee's sister. Mrs. Susie |.
Lynn, Mrs. Byerlee writes:
'Your winter is over, and expect
you are glad to have a little sunshine.
1t is. hard.to keep. track of the seasons
here in this land of perpetual sum
mer. However, as | was putting in
my second garden a few weeks ago
thought that you people were making
garden, too, and it was not so strange
as the first time. Then | was planting
seeds while you folks were getting
ready Christmas presents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Byerlee, who left last
summer for their African post, write
that their worksis made interesting by
the frequent visits of other mission
aries Of different denominations To-
Gated in the vicinity. Their time is
well taken up with teaching the ma
tives simple elements of education and
useful occupations.

CLEANsUP ORCHARDS

Hood River valley is going to be Wis

all northwestern districts. These men
will form critical body. 1t is natural
that they are going to scrutinize us
closely. 1t would be we'll for all grow
ers, between now and next Tuesday,
when the guests will arrive, to devote
as muchstime as possible TO trim
mingiup ofStheir tracts. Let's put the
fruit areas on dress parade. Most
growers have been busy. and fruit
tracts generally present an excellent
appearance, but there is need for some
cleaning up.

Their PIayino-cards Different.

American playing card manufac-
turers have profitable market
awaiting them in Mexico and other
Spanish-speaking American countries.
But cards must be of patterns differ
ent from those to which Americans
are accustomed. People In those
countries demand the Spanish pack,
which consists Of only 40 cards, and
tens. Furthermore the face cards
are different. The ace (called "as')
is much like ours; the "rey" (klng)
wears crown, the queen is repre-
sented by a young woman, and the
jack ("caball") is a horse.
Most Of the playing cards used In
Spanish-American countries are i'm
ported from Spain, and are smaller
than ours. Commonly they are thin
and flimsy, so as to be hard to shuf-
file, and tearing easily.

POPULARIZING MOUNT HOOD

We wonder how many people of the
Hood River valley have ever been to
the snow line of Mount Hood. Actual
statistics, we believe, would place the
number at relatively small portion of
our population Yet this status of af-
fairs is natural. Until recently the
motor journey to the snow line has
been exceedingly strenuous and only
possible for automobiles with powerful
motors, and even these had to be in
excellent running order. 1t was an
expensive trip.
The elimination of the old grade at
China Fill. where the climb exceeded
80 per cent, will make it possible for
many more automobiles to reach Cloud
Cap Inn. But the toll assessed for use
of the Cloud Cap Inn road, and we
make this criticism without reflection
on the builders of the toll road or
those subsequently in charge of the |
Inn, has always been a deterring ele-
ment when it came to popularzing the
great snow peak. The comparatively
heavy charge for visit to the snow
line has never been popular. Local
folk, viewing the mountain day in and
day out, have come to feel a propri-
etorship in it, AS for paying a stiff
toll to drive up steep road to its
glaciers, it was proposition that
rubbed their feelings the wrong way.
That toll has probably kept more folk
away from the mountain than anything
else.
More folk, by very great percent \
age, will visit Mount Hood this year
than ever before. The list would prob
ably be greater but for the toll. 1t is
10 be regretted that the road cannot be
made less private. A nominal toll,
perhaps, would result in sufficient traf- u
ic to raise funds for maintenance of -
he road. r.
Getting to the snowlne of Mount b'
Hood is not now the task imagined. ~
The journey to be made Sunday by the =,
'rogressive Business Mems Associa- S,
ion, will demonstrate this. This trip m
will do great deal toward further
'opularizing Mount Hood. Its purpose ay
4 acquainting business folk with ac- tn
ual conditions, in order that they tn
nay be able to give authentic infor- ha
nation to visiting motorists, is an ex- tb a1
client one. nd

THE LEGION HOOD CLIMB

1t was happy thought. that of the
Legion members to launch an annual
ascent of Mount Hood. We see no
reason why the proposed recreational
feature should not become more popu-
lar each year and become not only an
annual reunion for Hood River valley
ex-service men but attract their bud
dies from all states of the Union. Let
a few parties from other states break
the ice, and the stories they tell will
be sufficient advertisement to make the
annual mountain climbs an annual fea-
ture in American Legion circles.
