Uncle Sam Helps Uncle Sam has taken official cognizance of Hood River's im portance as a fruit-producing section by placing in the valley during the week just past a greater number of observation stations in proportion to the area of the county than in any other section of the United States. This statement is made on the authority of Edward S. Beals, official forecaster of this district. who was here from Portland to supervise the installation of these stations. Uncle Sam has been good to Hood Piver in this matter and the attention is appreciated. As a result the entire valley will be mapped out meteorologically and cold air pockets, frost belts and inequalities of conditions affecting fruit growing will be scientifically registered. The lo cal pathologist will also be greatly assisted in his study of the so-called winter injury. Hood River raises the best ap ples in the world, not only be cause climatic and soil conditions are ideal, but more especially for the reason that the industry has been reduced to an exact science by a community of highly intelli gent fruit-growers. That Uncle Sam has seenfit to lend a helping hand is a matter of congratula tion. A Bugaboo? "Third term!" exclaims an ex change. "If the people want a man for a third or a thirteenth term, who shall say them nay?" Such exclamatory utterances, instead of convincing even the most radical that a third term is justifiable, indicate quite the contrary. History has shown that popular demand in matters of this kind is not always the in dex as to what is the safest pol icy. A third term might, indeed, be no more objectionable than a thirteenth, but it would be a long step in the direction of the mon archy which would have become established by the time the thir teenth term were reached, and an equally long step away from the republican principles enun ciated by the founders of the nation, the same principles whose justice was recognized by Roose velt when he said in November. 1908: "The wise custom which lim its the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circum stances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination. " The old saying that "man wants but little here below" does not apply to Wasco county poli ticians. Aspirants from that county are now out for Congress, the state senate and the district attorneyship. It is also under stood that they are to have a candidate for representative in the legislature. So far as Hood River and Crook counties are concerned, it is evident that "there isn't going to be any ft 1 core. No longer can the housewife blame inflated grocery bills to the increased cost of living, ac cording to a Portland paper. The prices of staple foodstuffs have not increased during the past year and "the co t of living is largely what the individual housewife makes it." Another chance for the husband to blame it all on his wife when the bills come in the first of the month. With six candidates already in the ring for county commis sioner, it may be that Hood River county won't have any time to bother with national issues. California politicians are com plaining that they have struck the hardest job yet They are trying to manipulate the women.

We have put In our application early, so that I be lieve we shall have plenty of men at work.

Waters, formerly of this section and now chief of the Yakima Indians. Chief Waters was appointed at the recent Indian con ference at Washington to organize the local Indians In the North Amer ican Federation, and made a visit here a short time ago Me has en rolled nearly :to0 names and writes a letter which Is a good sample of Indian c'lctlon. He says In part: "From the east and the west, the northward nnd the southward, there responds to the signal of the call ol the allies, the tribes and the clans banded together, and here, lu this Indian council, are many strange faces, and for this we are thankful. Our chieftains nnd warriors are fully awakened to the dangers Im pending and the forces surrounding, but our spirit of warfare has never been conquered; we are seizing new weapons that are more destructive, and with them shall hurl back, with vigor untiring, the shafts of the war riors. The Iudian council fires will glow In every village, where In structions anil charges shall be given to teach the great weapon of action united for the protection of those who are deserving. The work we have begun will never be ended, the name of our people never forgot ten, ami Liberty and .1 usttee shall be our motto, aiding and protecting j those who are helpless, and for this we nre thankful. The fire t.f amtil j tlon will glow lu each Iiomoid and ' will lie Undled and fed unto an un quenchable tlame until that free spirit that once was our people's will glow and show to the world the worth of our blood."
