The Dock Question
That the voters of the county
favor bonding for the construc
tion of a public dock by a major
ity of three to one, is indicated
by replies received to date by
County Judge Culbertson, who
has been sending out circular
letters to all registered voters.
The fact that Hood River is one
of the heaviest shipping points
in the Northwest is in itself a
sufficient reason why every effort
should be made to secure the best
possible facilities. It is now
predicted that the apple crop
next year will amount to a mil
lion boxes. The shipment of this
huge crop will be a matter of
paramount importance. Move
ment of the fruit crop will mean
thousands of dollars annually to
the orchardists of the valley, and
if a public dock will facilitate
shipment and at the same time
place the county in a position to
regulate freight rates for all
time, then there can be little
doubt that it would be a good
investment and one which would
pay for itself within a short
time.
Among the letters which Judge
Culbertson has received on this
proposition is one which men
tions some of the advantages
which would no doubt result to
the fruitgrowers from the build
ing of the dock. An excerpt
from the letter follows:
"In a conversation which I re
cently had with an official of the
American-Hawaiian Steamship
Line, I was pleased to hear him
say that with the opening of the
Panama Canal they anticipated
handling fruit cargoes in refrig
erator ships, and referred to
Hood River among other points
from which they expected to
draw their tonnage. The tax
payers of Hood River county
cannot make a better investment,
if for no other reason than to be
in a position to regulate freight
rates for all time, but the bene
fits of a public dock will be di
rectly felt in the ability of the
fruit growers, 'and others, to
transport shipments with dis
patch, and under most favorable
conditions, to Portland for trans
shipment to the Atlantic sea
Doara via water, as well as
trans-shipment to railroads not
reaching Hood River direct."
Civic Harmony
It is not necessary to employ
any of the higher mathematics
in order to prove that harmony
is necessary for a community's
growth and development. Con
flicting interests pulling in op
posite directions can only serve
to retard progress. Without in
tending that this should apply to
any particular instance, it is
true that the greater the unity
of purpose and endeavor that
can be accomplished the more
effective must be the work of
the community at heart. With
opposing factions working at
cross purposes, energy that
would otherwise result in benefit
to all is worse than wasted. Un
less all signs fail, Hood River
city and county are entering up
on a year that should be rich in
accomplishment The time is
opportune for those who possibly
can to bury their hatchets and
pull hard and altogether.
It has been demonstrated what
lack of cooperation can do in the
way of retarding much needed
public improvements. The time
is ripe for everybody to put his
shoulder to the wheel and bring
about a realization of the splen
did 'plans which are being made
for both city and county during
1912. That they can be realized
is assured if sectional and selfish
interests can be forgotten in the
larger question of what is best
for all. The News wants to do
its part; and to encourage civic
harmony and to miss no oppor
tunity to boost for a bigger and
better Hood River will be our
constant endeavor.
The Political Sphinx
At the present writing the
Sphinx has nothing on Colonel
Roosevelt as a mystery. The
Colonel is evidently determined
to let no one know, not even
Brother Bill, what hand he holds
or how he intends to play his
cards in the political game of
1912. After his three years of
semi-seclusion he has again ap
peared on the political stage,
made up, this time, as a big in
terrogation point. Candidates
who have been cherishing presi
dential hopes are now holding
their breath in anticipation of a
word from the Sphinx. Even
the White House is apparently
puzzled over the political situa
tion, although friends of the
President maintain that his col
ors are nailed fast to the mast
It is generally conceded that
while the redoubtable Teddy is
not anxious for the nomination,
he is holding himself in readiness
to accept if his nomination is de
manded. Not a few 1 aders de
clare that in Roosevelt lies the
only hope for a Republican vic
tory this year. Between him
and the nomination, however,
stand the ranks of the organiza
tion pledged to Taft, and proba
bly the Colonel will want to size
up his chances in the convention
pretty carefully before announc
ing that "Barkis is willin.' "
Light On the Horizon
With the arrival of 1912 a light
has appeared on the horizon. It
is clearly apparent that from
now on better business condi
tions may be looked for and one
of the indications of the immedi
ate future is the report that
comes from Pittsburg that 100,
000 idle workmen will be given
employment the early part of
this month in the iron and steel
industries of the country. This
action has been taken because
there is a demand for all kinds
of steel and iron, principally
though, railroad steel, structural
iron and tube iron. The rolling
mills will be run at their full
capacity. The American Tin
Plate company has announced
that it will give employment to
5,000 men at Newcastle, Penn
sylvania, from the very begin
ning of the year. It is said that
fifty tin plate mills will be put in
operation. The iron and steel
works all over the country, it is
reported, will be in full swing
without delay in order to fill the
contracts which have been en
tered into for their product
Prosperity among the class of
men referred to, means better
times in business lines generally
and the confidence, which this
resumption of work will bring
about, will spread rapidly to
other industries in our entire
country.
There is food for thought, es
pecially in this state, in the
comparison of criminal records
in St. Loui3 and London. In the
former city, which has a popula
tion of 700,000 people, there
were from January 1 to Decem
ber 1, 1911, 86 trials for murder.
In only 20 cases were convictions
returned, and in not a single
case was the death penalty im
posed. In London, with a popu
lation of 7,000,000, or about ten
time3 that of St Louis, there
were in the last twelve months
exactly fourteen murder trials.
Of the fourteen defendants eight
were sentenced to death and
duly hanged. Three others
were given long terms at penal
servitude. Three were acquitted.
An item published a few clays
ago, calling attention to the per
sonnel of Hood River's delega
tion attending the Bhort course
on horticulture at the O. A. C.
should have some influence in
dispelling any stigma which may
attach in the minds of the igno
rant to life "next the soil." A
bank president and ex-state sen
ator were among the number, as
well as retired business and pro
fessional men and society dames
who have abandoned the ball
room for the ranch. And, best
of all, every mother's son and
daughter of them waxes eloquent
when they preach the "back to
the soil" gospel."
