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.

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

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

mountains. A handsome booklet of

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.

Are these precepts of Jesus given

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

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

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

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

different parts of the state. Fruit
prospects throughout the.Northwest
are now the brlghtent In years. It la

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

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

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.
