OAK GROVE CORNER GROCERY CLUB

Mrs. Emma Carroll came up from
| Portland to look after and start the
| spring work on her Oak Grove ranch.
Mr.. Castle, manager, we understand
is a graduate under ID. l.. Pierson,
which is sufficient guarantee for sue
cessful season and clean crop.
G. A. McCurdy expects to build a
bungalow on his ranch to be occupied
by his orchard foreman. Mr.. McCurdy
will be busy this season viewing the
roads and scenery.
Mrs. Mabel Francis Burke will soon
move from city quarters to her beauti-
full country home on her Oak Grove
ranch.
Oak Grove Store gossip has it that
when cotton was cheap Mr.. Lennon
bought a sufficient quantity to wrap his
Maxwell car for the winter and ex-
poets to sell cotton at the advance
price this spring and from this profit
pay for all his gasoline this summer.
Guy Ellis has accepted a position for
this season with G. Underwood. Mr..
Ellis and family will occupy their
beautiful bungalow. Guy has his
name posted for membership in the
hOuA SOlil1lo OOuILIJ CIuUs
John Britton, who has been with C.
Underwood for the past two years, is
now with Frank Schuler, where the
famous "Ben Davis apples are raised
to perfection. John is convalescent
after a serious attack of rheumatism.
Sorry to lose John from the Oak Grove
district.
The ice on the Horn Bros. Lumber
Co. lake is ID inches thick. Frank
Fenwick has made arrangements to
have the ice cut in 100 pound blocks
and stored in the basement Of his store
to keep the store cool this summer and
supply his customers with ice-at the
ice mans prices?
S. F. Banks has his supply of wood
in for next winter. Mr.. Banks and
Gus Fosberg have been on the Job all
winter and we understand at average
wages the wood will cost about $25
cord.
The Oak Grove district has been TAX
ing census of the district for the
purpose of forming a Borrowed Time
club. (similar to the Pine Grove club
but there are not enough old boys in
the district to make a sufficient men,
bership to justify the expense of club
rooms at the present time so all the
boys have applied for membership in
the Corner Grocery Country club.
Membership and dues are the same as
the Commercial club of Hood River.
VIM. Crapper has had the beautiful
oak trees Surrounding his home) all
pruned up and many large limbs re-
p1nNad fn Inf a Iitt ln sns e.. -
shade for the lawn.
A. W. Stone, general manager of the
Apple Growers Association. has been
instrumental in bringing to the apple
growers a spring smile by the distribu-
tion of $l75, 600 in the Oak Grove dis
trict. Come again, Mr.. Stone, early
and often.
The mass meeting held at the Horn
Bros. Lumber Co. saw mill voted
unanimously that if Charlie Hall will
incorporate a plank in his platform, |
giving the Union and Southern Pacific |
railways the privilege of huallng their |
empty freight cars over our highways |
and save the railroads the expense Of |
double tracking, the taxpayers would /
be relieved of the force account" ana |
expense of opening up and keeping 1
open the Columbia River Highway. |
The people who now and then might /
wish to drive over the Highway could |
telephone the chief dispatchers for a
schedule to avoid doing any damage to
the company's rolling stock OF delay
the railroad traffic. We believe that
this platform will put Hall in the gov
ernor's swivel chair without going to
the expense of an elertion.
The Oak Grove Country club has ap-
pointed a committee to inspect the
of the Oak Grove district
(where most Of the famous Hood River
apples are raisedl and the report of
the committee recommends that il will
rot be necessary TO do any spraying
his season. However. conditions may
'hange after the county court finally
appoints all of the applicants to the
position of county inspectors. We I
hink there should be an inspector for
he several districts, TO save the ex-
'ense Of so much travelling, that more
line be given to insnqrtfon
