HOOD RIVER
CANS BEANS
VINEGAR co. MARKETS PRODUCT
Merchants of Town Display New Brand
Paintings of Beans Planned by
Local Growers

The Hood River Apple Vinegar Co.
has begun the canning of pork and
beans. The first commercial output of
the factory has been placed on market
at local stores, all of which this week
are featuring window displays of the
product. Members of families who
have tried out the local canned beans
declare them of excellent blend.
The beans at present being used by
the concern, which during the past year
has been experimenting with various
canned foods, including soups, were
grown in California. Manager c. j.
Calkins, however, says that local orch
ardists will be encouraged to grow
beans During the war period it was
found that the sandy soil of the West
Side districts produced bean of high
quality, and the crop, it is believed
may be developed to one of profit for
orchardsts The canning department
of the company is in charge of F. A.
Rocker, formerly food products
chemist in the kitchens of Indiana
Gamers.
The beans are being marketed under
the Mountain Maid' brand, a regis
tered trade mark of the vinegar con-
cern. The label is an attractive one
and makes an immediate impression on
the housewife.

new ferry boat the Cleonia just com
pleted at a cost of $4,000. The com

large crude oil marine engine. Ar
overhead pilothouse has been con.
structed. 1t is a sidewheeler and is
equipped with slips at either end, en-.
abling automobilists to drive straight

HOMESEEKERS DUE
HERE JULY 2S

The route to be travelled through the
state by the first trainload of settlers
who are scheduled to arrive from the
middle west July Il for an inspection
of the states agricultural resources,
was announced by the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce last week.
The task of arranging an itinerary
which would include the representative
districts of the state in the limited
time allowed under the homeseekers
ticket. q days, was an exceedingly
difficult one, according to Secretary
Quayle. The matter has been under
advisement since the Land Settlement
Conference held in Portland June 7 and
every effort has been made to route
the party over the state in the most
effective way, according to Quayle.
While the itinerary in general will be
followed as outlined, it was announced
that it was subject to change in some
instances, inasmuch as the routing of
the party through few districts would
be governed by the number of settlers
who make up the party.
After breakfast at The Dalles July
%, the party will be driven to Hood
River for luncheon and Portland for
dinner, remaining in Portland all night.

NEW HOTEL TO
RECEIVE HONORS

When j. II. Schmidt, advertising
manager Of the Pacific Northwest Ho-
tel News, published in Portland by
Frank Beach, arrived here last week,
criticism was at once directed by the
Commercial Club at an issue of maps
from his publication on which APP
peared the printed statement that the
Columbia Gorge Hotel was located at
Columbia Gorge, Oregon. Mr. Schmidt,
however, declared that his publication
was not responsible for the misinform-
alton. He stated that the maps had
been sold to the distributors and the
printing placed on them subsequently.
Mr.. Schmidt was here to secure data
for a souvenir issue of the hotel publi-
cation dedicated to S. Benson and
Henri Thiele He stated that full
correction of the error carried by the
maps would be carried in the forth
coming issue. The club endorsed the
proposition.

EXCESSIVE LICENSES

dlers and merchants coming here from
Portland over the Highway. Last

made that the fees were so low as to
be unfair to merchants and others.

were absent from the meeting. Walter
Walters, president of the council, pre-
sided. No action was taken on the Ii
censing matter.

POSSIBILITY DELTA'S COM.
MUNITY ROOMS WILL CLOSE

Despite the fact that the Red Cross
community rooms recently fitted up
provide the only possible means
for clean, wholesome amusement for
our young people, the only public rest
room i nthe city where shoppers may
rest, and the only place where din
ners can be served to crowd of any
appreciable size, it begins to look as
if they will have to go by the board
even before they have been COM
pleted.
Perhaps this condition is due to the
fact that so few of our business men
and women realize what there is to
offer in the Community room.
The entire upper floor of the Ma
theirs building has been repainted,
wired for lights and equipped with
sanitary plumbing fixtures. 1t has

! Some months ago plans we're made
for erecting a community building.

posed hospital building. While the
present rooms will not in any way
approach the end hoped for in our
widest dreams, yet the amount asked
is so small in comparison that one
fails to understand why it should not
be forthcoming, and without delay.
The Chamber of Commerce has a
desk and chairs in one corner Of the.
office room, but the bulk of the ex-
pense falls upon the Red Cross man

the least discredit upon these loyal

their best. But the Red Cross has a
