Salutation That they have been ableto;ing point of view rather than acquire owi.er.-hip of the News j from that of the prophet of evil, is a source of pleasure to the : As optimism and activity are the new proprietors. It is an easy I foes of pesnimism. hope and en matter to learn the standing j ergy are also the herald and which the News has in the city .agent of prosperity, and valley. As a dispenser of i An analysis of trade conditions news and as a medium of ipular does not reveal any real cause opinion the News has maintained j for apprehenslon'and it is not at an excei'tionallv high newspaper standard. That this is true re flects credit upon the previous owners, who, in retiring, carry with them the test wishes of a large and loyal clientele. As the new owners take up their duties, it is their hope that those who, by their friendly feel- heretofore contributed to the ! success of the News, will con- tinue in the same relation to the paper under its new manage ment. While Hood River, on account of its splendid resources, is in one sense its own most ef fective advertiser, the newspaper also must play an important part by publishing a weekly record of the community's growth and progress. Trusting that it may continue to do this to the advan tage of Hood River and to the satisfaction of its readers, the News takes this opportunity to wish them all a happy and pros perous New Year. No Reason For Depression There has been much discour aging talk of late about general depression of trade and stringent financial conditions. A good deal of this talk has emanated from big railroad men, and as the rail roads are reasonably accurate barometers of business condi tions, these utterances have had a tendency to make the situation assume a pessimistic outlook. A glance, however, at the com parative net earnings of the rail roads for the closing months of 1910 and 1911 do not furnish much reason for these gloomy statements, as there has been but a 6 per cent decrease in the gross earnings of the railroads of the country, a large part of which is admitted to have been caused by increased operating expenses due to the higher cost of living. It is undoubtedly true that par tial and almost total crop fail ures in some sections of the country have decreased the rev enue of the country for the pres ent year, but it is also true that there is no lack of money, other than that caused by the big re serve banks, which are keeping the strings tied on the puhlic sack where development invest ments are concerned. The transportation lines of the country announced a policy of retrenchment a year ago and it has been adhered to pretty close ly, although economists do not find that there has been any par ticular reason for it other than Iolitics. However, notwithstanding this business and financial depression talk, there has been a large amount of American money in vested in stocks and securities, lith at home and abroad, indi cating a surplus of capital. It is evident, therefore, that if a fi nancial depression exists it is ar tificial rather than real and could k' quickly lifted. J. I'ierpont Morgan says that the present conditions are due to mental rather than to material causes, and winds up by stating that the country is all right. As no ar guments can be found in the general business or financial sit uation, based tin fact, to contra- vent Mr. M irvTIill 8 Views, Otili r ! than the hyh est .f living cur- tailmont of devcl..pment exjn- j thturvs ami a tcndt-ncy to create largo ntHTVC funds without any apparent reason, his view of the situation must be accepted. Ieal conditions, oi course. vary according to income, de mand for funds and resources. ! History points out clearly. however, that either a real or an imaginary business depression i j at its worst, but tennxrary. and that the situation can be made for less serious by looking at it from an intelligent, think- all unlikely that with the usual financial readjustment of the new year out of the way, new life will be given the business situation and that the coming year will be a prosperous one. End of Water Fight-Its Lesson No event should have brought Hood River a merrier Christmas nor brin k a ha'Pier New .Year than the announcement of the definite settlement of its canker ous water fight. With the eradi cation of this civic ulcer and the cauterizing of the wound by a return to the friendliness and co operative spirit that character ized the Hood River of a few years ago, the community can now start on its most promising era of progress and there never was a time when its prospects were more promising; there never was a time when its future was more assured nor its oppor tunities more inviting. To paraphrase a celebrated quotation, God might have made a better place than Hood River, but he never did," and, in a broad sense it can be further remarked that he never made a better lot of citizens. The frail ties of mankind, however, are proverbial, easily worked upon, and business and social misun derstandings are easily created and fostered. If the bitter ex perience just closed proves a les son valuable enough to prevent further contentions of this char acter, it is possible that it may have been worth all it cost, but at best it was needless. The final settlement of the SUit iS mOSt advantageous, CTed- " ' itable alike to both the council s committee and the opposing cor poration. There is little, if any, doubt that the money will be forthcoming to pay for the plant and that the whole matter will soon be a closed incident. The coming of the new year therefore seems bright with promise for civic progress. The blue skies and sunshine of early spring should see the long looked for paved streets and the start ing of work on the new water plant. With a spirit of sincere cooperation stimulating its popu lation 1912 can be made a banner year in Hood River and its past successes b? made to appear but beginnings. With the dying water feud there should go that invisible line of demarcation be tween the upper and lower city; sectional differences in the val ley; Contention between IntJepen- .... . df-nt and Union shinrOr: the USe I of public office for private pur poses and unprofitable and harm ful rivalry between business in- StltUtlOn3. InStOad let there . r . arise a new anu firm confidence . , . . in Citizen IOr ClllZen; an Un-' daunted faith in the community as a whole and a resolution to ward a broader view in loth public and private matters. The requiem of the water fitfht should be the signal for a rejuv enated Hood Kiver. Anotln-r Jirolx; Into tin- polli-i- i-. part intTit lutH Im--ii ht.irlil In Tort In ti). When you feel:T:t VjIis.
