BERRY FESTIVAL
PLAN CANCELLED

Because it was feared that the pro-
posed straw berry festival planned here
toward the end of June might interfere
with harvest help of the Upper. Valley,
where picking would be at its height,
plans for the valley event have been
cancelled. G. A. Bell, appointed by
the Commercial Club to investigate
sentiment on the proposed festival,
declared this phase of the event ere
ated alarm among Upper Valley folk,
who expressed fear that their tran
sient help attracted to the city by
amusements, might not return to the
berry fields.
Hood River, however. will extend an
invitation to the world to visit the
berry fields during the approximate six
weeks of berry harvest which will be-
gin in the latter part of May. 1t was
announced that a number of parties
are already planning on seeing the val
lev during berry harvest. A party of
2005Texans, on tour of the national
parks and Alaska, are expected to
spend June ii here. Approximately
500 Ad Club members, who will be
here primarily to participate in the
opening of the Columbia Gorge Hotel,
will be shown the valley.
Special public picnic grounds will be
provided in rural sections, and all citi-
zens will be ready to aid visitors IN
seeing the districts during berry hsr-
vest.

PETITIONS TO
BE CIRCULATED
ROAD BOND FORMALITIESLA LAUNCHED
Plans Call for Vote on Trunk Road Issue
June fetal Of Bonds to Be
$35O,OO0

Acting on the expressed desire of the
mgss meeting Friday night when men,
bers of the State Highway Commission
were here. committee of citizens and
representatives OF the county court de-
cided Tuesday night to launch immedi-
ate formal procedure for calling for a
bond election June z for raising a
$3.50, 600 fund for the county's partici-
patton on $3.50 basis in the con-
struction of Hood River valley trunk
highway of 2O.8 miles to form a link
of the Mount Hood Loop. Circulation
of petitions will begin at once.
While the eounty's fund for actual
contraction will reach only $3ll, 900
provisions will be made in the proposed
bond issue to care for cost of rights of
way. Most of the orchardists whose
places will be traversed by the route,
however. it was declared, will donate
rights of way.
Various phases of the bond election
were presented Tuesday night. A
general feeling prevailed that it would
be we'll to iron out certain differences
of opinion on location and find more
definitely what can be done for sec
tions not penetrated by the trunk road
before entering into a bond election.
But it was shown that it is necessary
for the country to act at once at the
June election. The Forestry service,
it was declared, is awaiting county ac-
tion before letting contract in the
forest bounds. In case Hood River
turns down the issue the federal appro-
priation will be withdrawn, and chances
of securing further federal aid for con-
struction of the highway are indefinite.
Hood River. county. according to ex-
pressions, would prefer to vote only
enough bonds at present for the con-
struction of the Booth Hill and forest
units, but the State Highway Com
missions proposition calls for the vot-
ing of all the bonds.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the Columbia Gorge Hotel, con-
structed as direct result of the Co
umbia River Highway, will provide
Hood River county with enough tax
next year to pay more than the inter-
est on the 1914 bond issued, voted for
the Highway. 1t was declared that a
$3.50, 600 resort hotel project for the
Upper Valley will materialize immedi-
ately on Hood River county's favorable
acton OH the bond issue. Other prop
erty Improvements, it was declared,
will follow.
The petitions do not have to desig-
nate the location of the road, and
while its circulation is in progress all
efforts of citizens will be bent toward
securing an adjustment of differences
over the present survey. The notices
of the bond election must be filed by
Nav lS.

rett, Odell, Pine Grove and Franktor
school and renditions by the girls glee
club and boys glee club of the high

face of present strained finances oi
orchardists, who have paid extremely
high taxes this season.
r. E. Miller opposed the location
which eliminates so much of existing
highways.
Truman Butler urged that the matter
of location be eliminated as much as
possible from the evenings session,
suggesting that meritorious requests
for modification might be brought be
fore the county court for consideration
and probable chances for success OF
appeals. Mr.. Butler also cited how
Hood River would not be increasing
her taxes to any great extent when by
constructing the trunk road she wouic
eliminate the existing heavy mainte
nance on existing trunks Travelled II
hauling products to and from the Up
per Valley.
j. c. Duckwall asked what Hooc
River county's bonding limit was, il
being replied that the limit was an ap
proximate $4,000

Z. 0. Blanchar, asked for an ex
preston, declared that the Highway
Commission has placed the matter
squareIy before the people. He de
clared that the county could not afforc
not to accept the propoition.
I'VE want to get away from any
idea that we are considering the LooT
Highway" he said. 1--WE are con.
cerned merely with market road uE
through Hood River valley. But il
time we are going to express exceed
ing pride in the Loop road when it is
built"
A large delegation was present from
the Upper Valley. Col. w. S. Dowd
and l.. H. Rose voiced the support OF
the taxpayers of their district.
The matter of West Side bonds was
introduced by j. r. Forden. j. II.
Hazlett declared that the county was
being offered an opportunity that
might never come again. j. j. Krum-
enacher stated that the Odell Grange
was for the road but that the district
was little dissatisfied because the
survey had passed up the town.
+. F. Batten pointed to some changes
in the survey on the immediate East
Side that might result in benefits. Ho.
mer A. Rogers and w. G. Keck spoke
favorably.
Mr.. Booth stated that the state would
lend the county its better credit in the
matter of financing the county's por'
tion of the work.

APPLE BUDS ARE
READY TO BURST

Apple buds have reached the point
where two warm, sunshiny days will
cause them to burst into full bloom.
From present indications next Sunday,
if weather conditions are conducive,
will be about the right time to witness
the Lower Valley in full bloom. Grav-
ensteins and other earlier varieties are
now blooming.
Apple trees are fairly loaded now
with buds just showing pink. The
re-blossom indications point to a rec
ord apple crop for the district.

GREAT QUEEN AS A DIPLOMAT
Able, Curried Favor With Her
Loving People,"

Queen Elizabeth of England had
all the instincts of politician, be-
sides being one Of the most eccentric
of English rulers. Among other pop
ular customs, she was wont to honor
Greenwich fair with her presence. On
one of these occasions she came rid
ing on pillion behind her favOrlte
master of the horse, Leicester, and
the people not only greeted her with
great acclaim. as was their custom
when she appeared among them, but
in their eagerness to get near her,
to catch look. word, or perhaps
snatch a jewelcd button or aiglet from
her dress. crowded her majesty almost
to suffOcation.
Her noble equerry then, as mat
ter of necessity, used his riding whip
very smartly to drive the crowd back.
whereupon her majesty graciously in
terfered ever and anon, crying: "Pri-
thee. my lord, take heed that thou do
not hurt my loving people u
But when, in obedience to these ten
der remonstraDces, he deslsted, and
she found herself again surrounded by
the swarming crowd. and her progress
impedcd,, she would call to the earl In
a low voice. "Cut them again, my lord,
cut them again."

CHOOSING BREED

Conditions to Be Met and Char

Distinct and Deep Cream Line on Milk

Preference Counts.

Conditions affecting dairying vary
so greatly in the different sections Of
the United States that many things
must be considered in the selection OF
suitable breed of dairy cattle. Al
though the different dairy breeds are
alike In general dairy tendencies, each
breed has peculiarities which adapt
1t to certain conditions. Therefore,
not only the conditions to be met but
also the characteristics of the breed
must be judged in order to make the
wisest selection.
Two sources Of income from dairy
cattle are to be considered One Is
represented by the sale of products,
either milk or butterfat; and the other
comes from the sale Of surplus stock.
Often the latter may amount to con-
siderable sum, even though the herd
is composed Of grade animals.
Another point that should be borne in
mind is that no single breed is alto
gether superior to all others; it may
excel in certain features, but not in

A Tombstone

oscars teeth gripped his pipe and he
turned a wary eye toward Susan Rick

tnat Susan was watching him from
some vantage point and he wondered
whether she would object most to the
marble chips on her orchard grass or
to the fact that he was wasting some
OF her time to speak to a passing
neighbor.

Then-why-the tombstOne?"
Because she wanted to--that's rea-

suddenly chuckled. "The Ricketses al

Jeremiah sagged weakly against the
renee. His mind was incapable of re-
adjustment after such shock. First
the sight of Oscar Plumb sitting in
Susan Ricketts, orchard, placidly cut
ting into a slab of white marble, was
disturbing enough-Oscar's place for
chipping tombstones was in his little
stoneyard by the river, or, Oh rare &C.
casiOns, in the churchyard. Second,
the idea Of Susan's thinking Of any
thing so practical was absurd in itself.

HOW Can YOU TELL YOUR
FAvORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell Il

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
favoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious OF all
favorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
