COMMUNITY COOPERATION.

In community cooperative effort
a strong marketing committee is nee

products of the community and IN
the purchase of supplies in quantl-

record of business conducted by human
beings showed that a woman had been
the principal participant.
1.-The first harvest, she affirmed,
"the first picking, packing and distrib-
uting to the consumer was conducted

LEGION TO STAGE
MOUNTAIN CLIMB

According to announcements made
Saturday by Commander Edward w.
Van Horn. the Hood River American
Legion Post will inaugurate the Gus
tom of annual ascent of Mount Hood
for Legion members of Oregon and
other sections at some date during
August. With Kent Shoemaker made
chairman of the 1921 committee, invi-
tations are going forward to every
Oregon Post, to Governor Olcott,
members of the Oregon Bonus Com
mission and to National Commander
Emery.
1T is our purpose" says Mr.. Van
Horn, Ito make the climb red letter
event every year in Oregon American
Legion circles. While we haven't time
to attract Legion members from other
parts of the nation this year in subse-
quent years it is our aim to make the
affair national and attract former
doughboys, gobs and Devil Dogs from
all over the country.
1--WE expect to delegate Mark Wey-
gandt, veteran Hood guide, to take
full charge of selecting the camp. He
will be our commander in chief while
making the climb. The women folk
of Legion members will be welcome to
Join us. We will journey to the camp
by automobiles and trucks. From in
terest in the plans. it is likely that our
party will form a record number for

FAIR BOARD
WANTS HELP
STATUS OF YEARS EVENT IN DPg T
Directorate Declares that Buildings, h
mated Cost of Which is $1,000,
Are Necessary

The Hood River Fair Board. COM
posed of P. L. Manser, A. W. Peters
and f. F. Batten, declares that the
success of future fairs is doomed un-
less the community by some means
raises an approximate SIS, 600 for the
construction of permanent buildings.
AT the instance of the board members
and citizens the county court recently
authorized the board to spend maxi
mum Of ST, 600 in purchasing the site
of permanent fair grounds.
The board members state that they
have located suitable suburban acreage
lust west of the city, but the county
officials are powerless to appropriate
funds for the construction of buildings.
A vote of electors would be required
for such an appropriation, and such ac-
tlon would be too late for this year.
The fair board has suggested the
plan of raising the proposed building
fund by private subscriptions.
Mr.. Manser in comment on the sit
uation says: Zone glance at our eX-
penditures, showing the amount of
money spent annually on temporary
accommodations is sufficient justifica-
tion for permanent buildings"
When the merchants and exhibitors
of Hood River county demand safe and
adequate buildings in which to exhibit
their goods. it is time for US to aban-
don the costly and inefficient tent"
says +. F. Batten.
'lf the county wants an annual fair
it must have permanent buildings in
which to house its exhibits" says

RECREATI0NISTS PER-
PETRATE VANDALISM

The acts of vandalism of motor tour
sts who visit Multnomah Falls, ac-
cordng to S. G.. Oxborrow, who. en-
route home from Portland with his
family stopped the other night and
talked with the caretaker there, are
Astounding.
1--WE stopped to prepare lunch and
boil some coffee, says Mr.. Oxborrow.
THE caretaker Immediately APP
peared and apologized that the wood
supply was exhausted. He told us
that two cords, enough, if used for the
purpose for which it had been pre-
pared, for more than a week, had been
available two DAYS before. But one
night a party of hoodlums visited the
park around the falls. They had
burned all Of the wood and had then
thrown lunch tables on top of the fire.
The action has resulted in the new
tables being bolted to the rocks.
Recently the drinking fountains,
constructed at considerable expense,
were found 20 be dry. A crew of men
spent three days digging up the pipe
in a vain endeavor 10 find the obstruc-
tion. Finally il was discovered that
practical iokers had unscrewed the
caps Of the fountains and plugged up
the pipes with pieces Of wood before
replacing them. The caretaker recited
TO us the lack Of regard for their fell
low recreatiOnists in the recent acts Of
a party that came out from Portland
one Saturday night TO climb Larch
mountain. The big crowd came in 40
automobiles. Without thinking Of how
they might congest the already limited
parking place, they strung out their
cars in an awkward mass, chaining
them together.

YAKIMA-H00D RIVER
ROAD PROPOSED

Good roads enthusiasts from Port
land were in Hood River Tuesday en-
route to Yakima on a pathfinding ex-
pedition, for the purpose of opening up
shorter highway connections between
Portland and central Washington. The
party left Hood River before noon on
its way to Glenwood to meet delega-
tion from Yakima.
The principal connections between
the Columbia River and the Yakima
valley now pass through Goldendale,
one extending through Bickleton to
Mabton and Sunnyside. and the other
running in a more direct route from
Goldendale north over the Satus pass
and thence to Toppenish. Both of
these routes are long and circuitous,
and when wheat hauling begins in the
summer the roads become badly cut
up.
The commercial bodies in Portland
and Yakima have in mind a short cut
from Hood River and White Salmon
north through Glenwood. thence across
the western end Of the Yakima Indian
reservation to Fort Simcoe and White
Swan. thence to Yakima. This route
from Hood River to Yakima would be
approximately As miles shorter than
from Hood River to Yakima via Col
dendae and Status Pass. and 81 miles
shorter than by way Of Goldendale and
Bickleton. The advantages to through
traffic are obvious.
The Portland party consisted Of HIl.
mar Papst. general manager of the
Portland Gas q Coke Company. A. h.
Shearer. manager of the Oregon State
Motor Association and Lewis A. Me
Arthur, general manager Of the Pacific
Power & Light Company. They plan
ned to meet o. G. Scots, secretary Of
the Yakima Commercial Club at Glen
wood Tuesday noon, and get into Yaki-
ma in the evening.

Record Of Sunshine.

]. Il. kincer OF the weather bureau

Weather Review valuable analysis of
the available sunshine records Of this
country. He presents charts and
graphs showing for all parts Of the
United States the mean solar time OF
sunrise and sunset the average length
OF the day, sunrise to sunset for differ
ent seasons OF the year; the average
for each month In the year, Of the daily
amounts Of sunshine, In hours the sea-
sonal and annual amounts in percent
age OF the maximum possible; the
yearly percentage Of clear, partly
cloudy and cloudy days. Data of this
character is comparatively scarce, for
the reason that the instruments re-
quired to make these records are very
delicate and require expert attention.
A great deal Of meteorological observa-

unteers who are not equipped with the
necessary apparatus for accurately re-
cording the periods Of sunshine.
