THE PROSPECT It is admitted by everybody who ha. given the matter any thought that this should be Hood River's banner year, and signs are not lucking for ground for this be-lief. Xo winter in recent years has Wen more favorable for fruit trees during the dormant period;, the rainfall has been plentiful and so far there has leen no extreme cold weather. With proper care Hood River's fruit crop this year should be the largest and best ever shipped out. The markets of the world were never so wide open for it and it was never so well known. Orchard development will un doubtedly eclipse all former efforts and demand for fruit land be far heavier than in the past years. In other development it is al ready evident that building opera tions will reach top notch figures in both city and valley. Construc tion operations by county and city on a large scale are planned and possibilities seem good for electric transportation. Industries of va rious description already in opera tion will naturally grow, imputa tion increase and new capital come in. In fact, everything should grow and prosper and it will. The time was never more oppor tune for a Greater Hood River in which everybody can help if thev will. kind of a father. Of course, if the father is the right sort too.it helps a lot, but if there is to be any shortage in the paternal pair it will be to the Unt fit of the afore said man to have it occur in his honored sire. However, once more, this is not what we started out to say. What we started out to say, and what we are now saying is that the intelligent and enter prising interest that the progres ive women of Hood River are taking in its affairs speaks louder than anything we know of for the high standard of its citizenship. Interested and eager to help in every progressive charitable and educational movement, they are keeping pace w ith the times, strik ing for higher ideals and making Hood River a better place to live in.

Work U going ahead on i" tulle ot the new route and the remainder will be completed as soon ns possible. The building of the Natrou line will not only open up a large new terri tory that Is now without railroads, but will give a low-grad? freight line that will eliminate the heavy grades of the Siskiyou mountains. The Krora our Scattla eornapondent. Seattle, Jan. 25. With the Inaug uration of a through service via the Oregon & Washington (and the Southern I'ailflc railways. It Is now posxltile to travel ttetweeu Seattle and San Francisco In thirty-tour hours. This Is fourteen hours short er than the time formerly required, when It was necessary tochangecara at Portland. The traveling public gains considerable by the new ser- vice and It promises to be deservedly popular. The fast train Is known as the "Shasta Limited." Mount Hauler Is to be featured by the advertising matter of the Mil waukee railway this year, and It Is predicted that before long It will be the goal of hs many tourists as Pike's Peak and other well known western mountains. A handsome booklet of Hauler is In preparation and It will le distributed eiteuslvely through the eastern and central states. Western Washington lumbermen will establlxh a system to keep a record of the dally rail trade ship ments of some 500 sawmills. Seven otHces will 1m? opened at Helllngham, Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, Centralla, Aberdeen and South Uend. Each week these branches will report to a central oflice which will compile and nnalyse the shipments, thus keep a check on the trade. Formerly the ruilroads furnished this Information, but now the lumbermen will do It themselves. Following the recent proposal of State Tax Commissioner T. A. Parish that government railroad grant and lieu lands. In unsurveyed ereas, be made subject to taxation, a protracted legal battle may ensue. LOCAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB Suggestive questions on the Suu day school lesxou by Itev, lr. Llnscott for the luternatloual ."Newspaper HI ble Study Club. January Ml, 1910. Some laws of the Kingdom. Matt 5-1 7, 1M, UN-4.S. lioldeu Text. Be ye therefore per fevt even hs your Father which Is In tieaveu Is lierfect. Matt. o:-M. Verses 17:1K) In what sense did Jesus fulfil the law and the prophets? How many persons can you recall from the Scriptures or otherwise who did the perfect will of Uod, other tbuu Jew us.' There are those who teach that It Is Impossible for any man to keep all the commandments ot God, what reason Is there to suppose that these are anions the number whom Jesus calls "the least lu the kingdom of hea veu; What was the righteousness of the scriU-s aud Pharles? What are the reasous how etc etc which lead us to believe thut all all God's commandments are reason able aud keepable by all Christians, aud that those who do not keep the in are very cuiplabie: by Is a man who, out or an an gry revengeful heart, calls his broth a fool, aud would like to consign til in to the worst of angering, In dan ger of suffering himself that to which he would consign another? erses 1M L' V hy cannot a mau truly worship Uod, or enjoy the love and favor of Uod while he has bitter ness In his heart to another. According to the teaching of Jesus w hat is our duty toward a erson wlio is angry with us, either w ith or without Just cause? erses .ts-41 Are these precepts to lie taken literally aud if not what do thev mean? See Ex. 21:24-25, Lev. 24:20, Deut. 10: 21, and say If these laws are In har mony with the teaching of Jesus. Are these precepts of Jesus given as rules of conduct, or ns underlying principles, and what Is the difference In the two Ideas? THE NORMAL SCHOOL Never content to rest idly when there is a prospect to obtain some thing of benefit to Hood River, its energetic citizens have taken up the matter of locating a state nor mal school here. There is no doubt that the location of such a school here would be beneficial to Hood River, but wo believe that if properly equipped and conduct ed its benefits would be much greater to the state at large. To keep abreast of other states it is not possible for Oregon to be with out an institution of this character and where could be found a better place to put it than Hool River? Centrally located, with transjKirta tion and climate second to none its scenery an inspiration for life the instructors who would matric ulate within its walls should go forth to teach the gentle art of the young idea how to shoot, with an optimism that would know no such word as phale because there isn't any. Of course we want the normal school at Hood River, the rest of the state wants it here also, with the possible exception of a few crouches, and we believe we are going to come pretty near getting it. HATS OFF TO THE WOMEN Woman lias always played an imjiortaiit part in the world's affairs, and at no time has she played a more important part than at present. To be sure there are scoffers now as in the past in retard to the ability of women to take a serious part in weighty affairs, but ccol!Vr, like the jioor, are always with us. As to whether women are so constituted as to engage in a business or polit ical battle with men, we will leave for those who can talk fast, a long time and dodge flying crockery. We are sati"fied, however, that if a man has c gosl, strong, intelli gent mother he can have most any START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT OWN YOUR HOME OR AT LEAST A LOT There will be more building in 1910 than in any previous year on record.

The Reliable Dealers DAVIDSON BUILDING HOOD RIVER, OREGON budget for the new equipment for the Harrlman lines In this territory for the year 1910 has been made up and Is In excess of the money asked In any previous year for rolling stock. The budget calls for over $2,000,000 for new freight and passen ger cars and locomotives. Low one-way colonist rates from all parts of the east to I'nclflc coat terminals are offered by the railroads from March 1 to April 15. The op portunity to bring thousands of new settlers to Oregon Is a valuable one and commercial organizations of the state will take advantage of It to the fullest extent. The attractive literature sent out during the past year and the wide publicity given all parts of Oregon have been fruitful of results and Inquiry about this state was never so general as at the pres ent time. BecailHe of this widespread IntereMt In Oregon It mny lie expected that the state will receive a large Immigration during the coming spring. The long continued cold weather of the winter has not had a bad ef fect on crops, as might have leeii ex pected, but has leen rather IxTicfkinl to them, according to reports from different parts of the state. Fruit prospects throughout the.Northwest are now the brlghtent In years. It la said, the cold weuther holding back the buds so long that there Is little fear of damage by late fronts. This Is shown particularly In the apple and pear orchards, where the crop during the past year was the small est In several seanons. The snowfall of the winter Is said to have lHen generally ample to protect fall sown grain, except In some sections of t he Willamette valley. I snow, too. has added moisture to the ground In the drier sections. At the Spokane convention of the as sessors of Wnnhlngton, counties Mr. Parish called attention to the fact that there were many corporate holdings In this state which escaped taxation. Regarding this as unfair to the remainder of the taxpayers, he recommended petitioning the fed eral authorities for a sjieedy survey of such lands, to the end that thou sands of ncres mny le made to con tribute to the upbulldlhg of the state. All previous fishery records were broken by Washington last year. This Industry alone produced In ex cess of $1.1.000,000, according to the reports of the state fish commission er. In 1MW Washington fish products amounted to $."2.",000, showing the rapid growth. Latest reports from the Atlantic coast are to the effect that the fishing Industry Is declining there, so that Washington now stands at the head of the list among the states, In fisheries as well as lutn lie ring. Fruitgrowers of the Northwest are Interested In the protest against the Lafean bill now In congress, which was adopted at the recent conven tion of the Washington Kate Horti cultural Association. This measure was prepared by the eastern fruit In terests for standardizing apple pack ing boxes. In a manner unsuited to the superior fruit of the Northwest. The box now in general use in this section Is tiest adapted to Washing ton and Oregon apples, and the growers are reluctant to give it up for a substitute that will not eriiilt them to make a satisfactory pack. A delegation will be sent to the nat ional capital to oppose the Lafean bill. Can you mention supposed cases where it would te wise to literally carry out these precepts of Jesus. and other cases where It would violate the spirit of Jesus' teaching to do so? What motive would corn pel a child ofOod to literally carry out these precepts of Jesus, when, and as often as. The Holy Spirit should Indicate? Verse 42 What attitude should the Christian always take. In the matter of giving or loaning money to those In need? Verses 4;i-4-l What are the advan tages of loving our enemies, and the disadvantages of hating them? What does it imply, practically, to love our enemies, and Is It possible of performance by every t hrlstlan? Verse 4."i Why does God treat the evil as well ns he does the good, In the matter of sunshine and rain, and the similar common blessings of life? Verse 4l 47 Which gets the greater good out of life and why, the gener ous and forgiving, or the harsh and those who render evil for evil?
