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.

INDIAN ELOQUENCE
IS SEENJN LETTER
The News is In receipt of a letter
from StwIreU. 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."

THE LADDER TO WEALTH
consists largely in avoiding
the temptations to spend un
necessarily. An account at
the First National Bank will
do this for you surprisingly.
Money in the bank burns no
hole like cash in the pocket.
And the very act of drawing
a check makes you think
twice before you spend once
- Think it over.
