Apple Blossom Festival was en-
its first impetus in 1919 when I'll e Drt-
land Ad Club journeyed here b ito
mobile several hundred strong join
the Commercial Club in celebrating
the season of blooms. Paving opera
tions and scattering blooms prevented
the resumption of plans for an annual
celebration the next year, but this
year the Ad Club promises another
delegation of 500, and the Commercial
Club and local citizens propose to make
Hood River Apple Blossom Day an
annual affair, growing more elaborate
each year.
The local club plans on initiating the
season annually with an apple blossom
banquet, the first of which was given
Monday night, when sumptuous din
ner was served at the club rooms by
the members of Wanna Temple, Pyth-
ian Sisters. F. A. 0lmsted, president
of the club, and Ernest G. Smith,
toastmaster. elaborated on suggestions
for permanent blossom festival. Mr..
Smith, in an eloquent talk, told how 40
years ago, when the district was for
est wilderness and homes and garden
spots were set in little cleared spaces,
the first blossom festival was a family
affair.
: "But travellers over the trails carry
news, said Mr.. Smith, ''and they
spread the story of the quality of
fruits grown on those earliest trees.
More trees we're planted and then
came an era of unprecedented develop
ment, and advanced order of things,
stimulated by the construction of
roads. Today the bees come down to
pilfer the nectar from millions of
blooms. We indeed live in paradise
and it behooves us to invite the world
to come and join us in the enjoyment
of it. T"
The high school orchestra gave sew
eral selections that we're highly appre-
ciated and resulted in rounds of ap-
plause. Rev. Boldly, who was called
on, at repeated requests, regaled the
audience with a good story.
To q. G. Crew. the club secretary,

fatiguably for the affair.
Leslie Butler Monday night an
nounced that he had just received a
telephone message from w. p. Merry,
of the Portland Ad Club, who told of
the enthusiasm of that organization
over Sunday plans.

River valleys new golf links. II.
Chandler Egan, of Medford, ex-ama-
teur champion of America, who has
been engaged in laying out a municipal
course in Portland, has been secured
to lay out the local grounds. Mr.
Egan. who was here Sunday before last
to make a thorough survey Of the Oak
Grove place, said:
''ln all my experience with golf
courses, | have not seen any land lying
better for the development of the ideal
links than you have here. The nat
uTal, rolling expanses are certainly
pleasing 10 a golfer. They can be
turned into a course at a minimum of
expense. Your local enthusiasts are
to be congratulated on their choice Of
property"
Last Thursday the committee an
nounced that S. Benson, just back from
Long Beach. Calf, where he spent
the winter. had given $1,000. which
will be utilized in building the first g.
hole unit of the course. Mr.. Benson
made his gift contingent on the clubs
sale of a total of $40. 900 in bonds for
the purchase Of the property. The
committee, however. considers this a
mere fOrmslity. as more than SIS, 600
has already been placed, and il is an
ticipated that the rest will be taken
within a few days.
The Oak Grove ranch has won the
praise Of numerous Portland citizens,
among them Rabbi Wise, who made
complete survey Of the grounsd. He
pointed out that four OF the holes will
be in sight Of both Mount Hood and
Mount Adams. IL is expected that
membership Of 100 will be secured in
Portland.
Work Of making a topographic sur
vey Of the place will be started immed-
lately. The plans call for the laying
out of a full ls-hole link. although only
nine holes will be built at once. The
other nine holes will be added at
later date.
