The Tortland Road It is almost impossible to exas perate the splendid possibilities of the road to Portland along the Columbia, which now, through the generosity of Mr. Benson and the cooperation of Governor West, is changing from a dream into a reality. It is a project in which HcxhI River and Portland have equal interest, but one as well in which the entire state is concern ed, inasmuch as the highway, when completed, will constitute the connecting'link between east ern and western Oregon. The beneficent effect which the construction of this improvement will have upon this section can not be doubted. The tide of traf fic from eastern Oregon and in deed from the entire country ly ing to the eastward will be turned through this gateway. Thou sands of automobile tourists will pass through Hood River and the publicity which will thus be af forded this section can hardly be overestimated. To the tourist who undertakes the trip from Portland toCalifor nia. the route through this coun try and thence through central Oregon to the California border will offer many advantages over the present route through the Willamette Umpqua and Roque river valleys. Roads east of the mountains will be in much better condition for a larger portion of the year, on account of the much smaller snow and rainfall, while the heavy grades on the present route will be to a large extent avoided. When the projected road from the southern part of the county through the forest reserve to connect with eastern Multnomah county is completed, Portland tourists will have an opportunity to make a trip which it will be hardly possible to surpass from the standpoint of scenic beauty, taking one through the forests about the base of Mt. Hood, through the matchless Hood Riv er valley, and back by way of the marvelously beautiful gorge of the Columbia. Portlanders who own places here will be placed in easy com munication by automobile, and the valley will offer splendid op portunities for the building of summer homes. Property values will advance, and commercial benefits will follow. Taft and Roosevelt Throughout the country during the week just past Republicans have been aligning themselves with one or the other of the two great leaders who are now pitted against each other in the fight for the presidency. Radical sup porters of both candidates have taken up the cudgels and pre pared themselves for the fray. Roosevelt's motives have been assailed and the cry of "Traitor" has been raised against him. On the other hand many who have felt the pressuref the hard times which have prevailed dur ing the Taft administration wel come Roosevelt as the one candi date who can restore the confi dence of the people and by so doing usher in an era of prosper ity. There is no gainsaying the fact that Iloosevelt has laid himself open to serious criticism on ac count of his attitude towards both Taft and LaFollette. On the face of it there is a strong suspicion, arid in the minds of many conviction, that he has not given them the "square deal" which he has preached so vehem ently, and judging from present appearances there are good grounds for this opinion. Whatever may have been the justice or injustice of Roosevelt's decision, it is plain to all that the question of which one shall be the accredited candidate of the Republican party is a momentous one for the country, so momen tous, indeed, that it would not appear wise to take snap judg ment at this early stage of the game. There are some vital questions involving the policy of the coming administration, espe cially in the matter of the tariff, which will carry great weight in the minds of the American peo ple. Taft has not handled this question altogether to the satis faction of the people, and Roose velt, although loudly proclaiming himself a progressive, has n ver squarely met the tariff question, but has discreetly piloted his po litical bark between the demand of the "infant",industries on the one hand and'those of the people on the other. It would appear that the wis est course would be to withhold final judgment as between Taft and Roosevelt until both have definitely and unequivocably com mitted themselves as to the"poli cies which they will adopt in case of their nomination and election. Yakima's Attitude It is easy to understand the reasonableness of Yakima's at titude towards the marketing problem as outlined in the letter from Manager Robbins of the Yakima association, which is re produced in full on another page. Mr. Robbins' objection to any consolidation effected through a profit-taking organization simi lar to the Northwestern Fruit Exchange is one which has been apparent and yet which has not before been so clearly stated. The reason which prevented Yakima from even considering such a combine is thus made plain. That the Yakima associ ation realizes the advantages of a marketing arrangement which would include also We natchee and Hood River, is equally apparent. The senti ments expressed in the letter are altogether distinctly encouraging to those who are hopeful that some such system of cooperation may be effected. That there has been a steady tendency toward such coopera tion among the districts contigu ous to Yakima, is shown by the facts contained in Mr. Robbins' letter, which also states clearly that such cooperation has proved effective. Having seen the suc cess of these methods when put into practice on a comparatively small scale, it is but natural that the Yakima association should look with favor upon an ex tension of the system to include the two other largest fruit-producing sections of the North west. The local committee is doing efficient work in this important undertaking and has the united support of Hood River growers. Prospects that something dis tinctly helpful may be accom plished through their efforts are bright and it is to be hoped that the executive committee of the Yakima association will see fit, at its meeting thi3 week, to ap point a committee to work in conjunction with the one repre senting this section.
