Contentment with mediocrity is one of the greatest dangers which
confront successful democracy everywhere. The hope of averting
it rests largely with men of SOUND LEGAL EDUCATION.
For this same contentment with mediocrity breeds an impatience
with any sort of superiority, a desire to belittle all excellence, a

I have been a resident of the state ! Would It not seem Just a little awk
of Oregon for-'ii years, and n resident ward If, per chance, the county seat
of Hood Blver Valley for more than ! should be located at some Interior
2 years. I have a property Interest j point far from the business center of
In Riverside Farm three miles west) the county, and the county Judge
of town, and au equity In about J0
town lots In the city of Hood Klver.
I represented Sherman and Wasco
counties 1n the House In 1!(s and
lVJ as a Republican, during siieclal
and regular sessions of the legisla
ture. Several bills were Introduced
by me and some of them ls-came
laws and remain on the statute
books to this day. One Is for the
protection of the beautiful sliver
gray squirrel, often seen lu the Hood
Klver Valley. Also a general cura
tive act, and the horticultural law.
I believe a public office Is a public
trust. Not only so, I think the la
borer Is worthy of his hire, and In
this connection let me ask If you
think the small sum of three hun
dred dollars a year Is sufficient sal
ary for the county Judge of Hood

In a tent nnd. with frying pan ever

meals. It Is not likely he would be
able to travel by auto to any great
extent, and It Is quite certain he
' would ha ve no extended use for the
modern flying machine, backed by
! this princely sum.
In my business career, covering
nearly Z years, I have done consld
1 erable contracting, and found It wise
1 to to become familiar with the terms
I of the contract lcfore entering Into
I Its performance, so I deem It proer
j to sny In this connection that I do
not feel that 1 could afford to give
my time and energy necessary to
meet the demands of said oflk-e for
less than x-r year. So I ain
not a candidate. J, V, Morton

The company holds a tract of tine,
undeveloped orchard land In The
Little White Salmon valley In Ska
mania county, Washington, 7 miles
from Hood Klver. The tract con
sists of 2,7'X) acres lying on the east
side of The Little White Salmon
river nnd practically controlling the
river from Its mouth to a point live
miles north of the S. P. & S. Ky.,
making It easily accessible to the
Columbia river.
Originally the tract was purchased
by the Oregon Lumber Company
from residents and homesteaders, for
the timber on It. After being logged
off It was sold to John Icland Hen
derson, of Hood Klver, and later to
the Portland Railway Light am)
Power Company, who purchased it
with the Intention of utilizing the
water pjwer la the river. But upon
their acquiring suflictent power for
their oiKratIons In the Clackamas
and other streams much nearer
i'ortland, they deemed It advisable
to dispose of their holdings In Little
White Salmon Valley.
J. C. Porter Is of the Sears & Por
ter Orchards, mill was a pioneer of
the apple Industry lu the Hood Klver
Valley, having, with his father-in-law,
1). H. Soars, now deceased,
grown the first commercial orchard
In the valley and shlped the lirst
carload of apples from Hood Klver
to New York City. A. P. Walker
was for many years chief dispatcher
of the Northern Pacific lines at Spo
kaue, Wash., which position he re
signed to develop his orchard prop
erty In the Yakima Valley. He Is
now one of the most successful
orchardlsts lu that section. V. C.
Brock Is asslstaut cashier of the
First National Bank at Hood River,
and treusurer of the county of Hood
porting firm of Kae & Hat Held, New
York City, as their North Pacific'
coast representative.
It is the purpose of the company
to develop the tract Into commercial
orchards and sell them to the many
In a developed state. Temporarily
the officers of the company will be
at Hood Klver.
"public voice"
Thinks Amendment Against Prohibi
tion
Pine Orove, Aug. 'J, BtlO. Editor
News: Hear Sir: Keferrlng to nn
article in a recent Issue of the News
concerning the association that Is
being formed to check whatever In
fluences may be exercised In favor of
state wide prohibition, allow me
through your pages to express a be
lief that an effort Is to be made
through the proposed amendment,
originating with the liquor Interests,
to nullify the present local option
law, on a similar planus on former
occasions. The assurances that no
liquor men are to be admitted to the
association, and that third party
Prohibitionists are going to enter
very largely lu the situation, Is mis
leading to the average voter.
The Issue for a dry Oregon In BtlO
Is strictly a nun partisan Issue. All
reform societies are uniting to over
throw the saloon domination lu our
beautiful state. As workers In this
great movement, we feel that the
corruption til our large cities, caused
principally by the legallxed saloon,
Increases not only Immorality, but
taxation, when It comes to a finan
cial proposition, hvery life Is In
jured by the saloon; then why should
prohibition retard the progress of
the state? We know It will not.
Maine, North Dakota and Kansas
will tell you of their prosperity.
Maine has more bank deposits than
any other state In the 1'nlon.
Our boasted civilization amounts
to very little when It Is so easily
dominated by a power which seeks
(for money) to overthrow every val
uable Institution of our country.
