VIEW AT O.-W. R. & N.
STATION APPEALING

\ Passengers awaiting O.-W. r. & N.
trains here the past few days have
been impressed by the beauty of pas
toral scenes along the Columbia low
lands north of the station. The flats,
where scores of cows Craze, are can
opied over large area by willow and
cottonwood trees. Large, lake-like
pools and sloughs have fringe of the
willows. The trees are just now burst
ing into leaf the newly opened twigs
displaying springtime coloring of
green and light yellow.
Immediately to the north of the sta
tion is long block of closely clipped
lawn, where a year ago a waste of
sand and trash greeted the eye. The
improvement has resulted from initi-
ative of Agent j. H. Fredricy, who
had the plot spaded and seeded last
year. The lawn is now one of the
hancsomest of the city. To the west
of the passenger station. along
bank, where formerly passersby were
tempted to toss paper bags and candy
boxes, Mr.. Ferdricy has planted climb
ing roses and ramblers. The bushes.
the new leaves of which are now ap-
pearing. fairly cover the old, unsightly
bank, and the rail lines passengers
will soon be greeted by an effusion of
blooms.

CECIL SELF HELD
FOR HARNESS THEFT

Arrested on an old bootlegginp
charge, Cecil Self, The Dalles man,
was held to the grand jury Friday by
Justice of the Peace 0nthank for the
alleged theft of two sets of double
harness from 7. Matsumoto. lessee of
Riverside Ranch on the Highway.
Self is alleged to have sold one set of
the harness at Oregon City, where
they were recovered by Sheriff John
son and Deputy Sheriff Webster. An
other set was recovered in Self's room
at The Dalles. Sheriff johnson and
District Attorney Baker in court
stated that Self was notorious for his
bad citizenship at The DaIles. Mr..
johnson declared that he was friend
less among good citizens as well as in
dives of the neighboring town.
While Sheriff johnson was at The
Dalles engaged on the case Thursday
night officers of The Dalles and Waseo
county were called out by Chinese

CHATFIELD LOOKS
FOR MANY GUESTS

Receipt of letters from eastern apple
buyers, who will attend the Seattle
convention of the international Apple
Shippers Association in July, by R.
d. Chatheld, manager of the Mosier
Fruitgrowers Association, indicates
that large number of the delegates
will return from the Puget Sound
metropolis by way of Columbia
fruit sections. Proportionate to the
tonnage il ships, the Mosier associa-
tion is probably better known to the
apple trade than any other northwest
ern cooperative association. 1t is
probably unique in the entire country
in that it handles practically 100 per
cent of the fruit tonnage of the Wasco
county district.
''It is gratifying to US to hear from
buyers" says Mr.. Chatfeld, "and
have them tell of their interest in our
district. We are expecting to well
come many prominent buyers and show
them how apples of this section are
grown.
The growers and shippers of Mosier
are eagerly looking forward to a ma
of plans calling for a |

ests of the two districts, of visiting |

CHERRY EXPERIMENTS
ARE ON in WASCO

Cherry pollenization experiments on
an unprecedented scale, which, it is
expected. will result in data invaluable
to horticulturists in all parts of the
nation, will be conducted in Wasco
county orchards this spring. Prof. C.
+. Schuster, of the Oregon AgricuI-
tural College, and corps of assistants
will cooperate with County Agent E.
K. Jackman and horticultural Bureau
Chief Nelson who began their work
the past week. More than 20, 900
cherry blossoms will be pollenized
atrificially from several varieties of
trees now known to be fertile. Rec
ords will be kept of each blossom.
Prof. V. r. Gardner, of the Oregon
Agricultural College faculty. several
years ago discovered in incomplete ex-
periments that lack of pollenization
was one of the biggest factors in linn
lting cherry tonnage.
1t is anticipated that the expert
ments will determine which of the pol
mating varieties are the most fertile,
especially upon such varieties as the
Bing, Lambert and Royal Anne cher
ries, the districts chief commercial
cherries. These varieties are inter-
sterile, that is, not capable of fertiliz-
ng other varieties.

Spoiled Sidewalks RiIe DObSOn

The patience of Joseph Dobson was
worn to a frazzle last week while he
and his son, Harry Dobson, were
patching a section of sidewalk in front
of the old Hood River State Bank
building. Despite barricades pedes-
trians were constantly walking into
the newly placed, wet concrete. Two
absent-minded women shoppers daubed
their neat shoes with the grimy mix
ture as they waded into the patches.
II do not mind such interruptions as
this so much," said Mr.. Dobson, "but
| have been very badly peeved recently
by wilful depradations of school bows
on May street on the Heights. The
little dickenses have deliberately
walked all over newly laid concrete
sidewalks, making the work pretty
botchy."

Baths and Bath Soaps.

II I have been writing a great deal
about bathing and beauty recently il
is because of the number of inter-
ested letters I have received on the
subject from my readers. Many of
them have asked whether soap should
be used at all In bathing. To this I
must answer. that 1t depends upon a
number of things.
IL you live in the city. where the
air is filled with dust and smoke. you
must use soap upon the hands and
upon the face. unless you use a
cleansing cream followed by hot
water. IL you take warm bath
daily it is not always necessary to
use soap upon the body, for the body
Is protected by clothing and will not
need this extra cleansing treatment
Soap can be used every other day.
II you have been dancing or in
dulging in any vigorous exercise you
should use soap with the bath that
follows, unless you have a very fine
needle spray in your bathroom. The
skin has been made so active by the
exercise that it needs something eX-
ira vigorous in the way Of a bath
A very hot. very soapy bath every
day Is trying and should be avoided
except by the woman who is stout
and can lose flesh. or the woman with
the very oily skin In any case. the
bath soap should be very mild 1t
should be pure CASTLE, purchased by

tongue ratified on. II have been won

you would be too late to get one of

isn't there any more. But you won't
miss it. Come on and look at these
new houses. If you don't get one
right away you may not have a
chance. They won't remain empty
long"
Both Mrs. Skinner and Skinner
himself began to be interested. OF
course. it was all news to them. and
they were tired. Spreading their
wings they sailed out and, swooping
low. circled back and forth between
the trees Of the Old Orchard. They
saw Winsome Bluebird at the door
of his new home. They saw Tommy
Tit sitting close to his new home.
They watched Jenny Wren take

of her new home.

the very one Bully the English Spar
row had tried to take possession of.
Mrs. SKINNER poked her head inside.
Then after a moment she went inside.
She was gone a long time. Skinner
began to be anxious. But after, a

about the new houses. and. Of course.
Cresty and Mrs. Cresty wasted no
