CHAPTER III.

He had not forgiven her four years
later when he entered high school in
her company, for somehow Ramsey
managed to shovel his way through
examinations and stayed with the
class. He was unable to deny that
she had become less awful lookin
than she used to be. At least, he was
honest enough to make a partial re-
traction when his friend and class
mate. Fred Mitchell, insisted that an
amelioraton of Dora's appearance
could be actually proven.
"Well, I'll take it back. don't
claim she's every last bit as awful
lookin' rs she always has been" said
Ramsey. toward the conclusion of the
argument. "I'll say this for her, she's
awful lookn', but she may not be as

The duplication that Miss YOcum
cared to lave Ramsey look at her,
either with or without gettin' sick, was
mere rhetoric, and recognized rs such
by the producer of it; she had never
given the slightest evidence of any
desire that his gaze be bent upon her.
What truth lay underneath his flour
ish rested upon the fact that he could
not look at her without some symp-
toms of the sort he had tersely
sketched To his friend: and yet, so
pungent is the fascination of self-in-
fiicted misery, he did look at her, dur.
ing periods of study. often for three or
four minutes at stretch. His ex-
preston mt such times indeed reSem-
bled that of one who has dined UNI

too eagerly busy to notice 1t. He was

he rose from the garden bench
where they sat, and gave a complex
imitation of what had most appealed

VALLEY FRUIT CON-
DITIONS ARE FINE

Following a complete tour of the
fruit area last week, c. II. Castner
and H. F. Davidson declare that they
have never seen the trees of the valley
as whole displaying better physical
condition.
''The foliage 10 looking fine" said
Mr.. Castner. land indications point to
crop of good sized. clean apples.
While it is still early to make definite
estimates, we anticipate that the Hood
River tonnage of commercially packed
apples this year will reach 1000 cars,
or !, 800, 600 boxes. This is an approx
innate rs per cent of the commercial
tonnage of year ago. Growers, how
ever, are thinning their fruit well, and
continuation Of good growing weather
may size the apples to the extent that
the tonnage will be heavier than antic-
ipated. "
This is the so-called off year for the
Hood River valley. Formerly trees
bore heavily one year and the next
year the fruit tonnage was extremely
light. Mr.. Castner, however, points
out that fertilization, improved meth
ods of cultivation, proper thinning and
irrigation has overcome the alternate
bearing, and the crops of every year
are now more nearly equalized.
The market outlook so far is in
definite. An East Side grower last
week offered his entire crop for 81. 40.
Another offered his crop, orchard run,
for 81 per box. Neither offer was
taken by buyers, who are waiting for
the policy Of the season to develop at
the Seattle convention of the Inter
national Apple Shippers Association in
late July.

CLUBS PHOTOGRAPH
COLLECTION PRAISED

The club house of the Oregon Nature
Lovers Club, which is also being oper-
ated as Highway information bureau,
located on the Highway just west of
the Columbia Gorge Hotel, was opened
to the public on June II. Work on the
grounds and driveways is not yet COM
pleted but the club house will be kept
open while this work is being carried
on. A complete collection of free in
formation material. including maps
and pamphlets on all parts Of the
Northwest, is available to the public.
Inquiries will gladly be answered by
phone. The club house contains prob
ably the best collection of hand-colored
photographs of Oregon scenery in the
state. The most striking feature of
this collection is the exhibit of pictures
by the Rockholds, of Parkdale. These
pictures receive the highest praise
from everyone who sees them. Some
professional photographers from Port
land who turn out similar work of
their own recently inspected this col
lection and were unsparing in their
praise of the Rockholds' work.
The club house contains collection
of books and magazines on nature sub
jects loaned by the state library for
reading, and similar books on Oregon
scenery and nature guide books, includ-
ing some for the children, are on sale.
Postcards and souvenirs of interest to
tourists are also on sale. The cherry
orchard surrounding the club house is
proving popular attraction to
passers-by these days. A number of
trails through the grounds will later
be opened up, connecting with similar
trails through the grounds of the
Columbia Gorge Hotel.

co. c NOTES

The 43 members of Company c who
returned home Thursday night of last
week from the Camp Lewis encamp-
ment, are without exception back at
tasks they laid aside when leaving for
camp. The men are brown and husky,
and without exception they declare the
two weeks on American Lake a profit
able vacation.
Some of the citizen soldiers have re-
sumed tasks in orchard, with sprayers
or welding thinning shears. Others
have taken their places again behind
counters of city stores. Some of the
high school students, who graduated
last spring and who will attend college
this fall, have resumed work with con-
struction crews. They plan on utiliz-
ing their earnings in partly paying
their first years expenses.
Company c had the honor of having
the only company mother at Camp
Lewis. II was Mrs. William h. Bailey,
wife of the company's mess sergeant.
Sergeant and Mrs. Bailey motored TO
Camp Lewis. They returned a day
later than the other members of the
company, but the sergeant is again
back at the window of the postoffice.
Mrs. Bailey kept the Hood River boys
buttons and chevrons sewed on.
